Romans 1

1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,

Ditsala tse di rategang mo Roma, Lokwalo lo lo tswa kwa go Paulo, motlhanka wa ga Jesu Keresete, yo o tlhophilweng go nna morongwa, ebile a romilwe go rera Mafoko a Modimo a a Molemo.

2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)

Mafoko a a Molemo a, a ne a sa bolo go solofediwa batho bogologolo ke baporofiti ba Modimo mo Kgolaganong e kgologolo.

3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,

Ke Mafoko a a Molemo kaga Morwaa one, Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona, yo o tsileng e le ngwana mo setshwanong sa motho, a tsalelwa mo losikeng lwa bogosi lwa ga Kgosi Dafide,

4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)

mme ka go tsosiwa mo baswing o ne a supiwa e le Morwa Modimo yo o senatla, ka tlholego e e boitshepo ya Modimo ka sebele.

5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,

Mme jaanong, ka Keresete, tshiamo yotlhe ya Modimo e goromeleditswe mo go rona baleofi ba e neng e sa re tshwanela; mme jaanong o re roma mo tikologong ya lefatshe go bolelela batho botlhe gongwe le gongwe kaga dilo tse dikgolo tse Mo-dimo o di ba diretseng, gore le bone ba tle ba dumele ba o obamele.

6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:

Mme lona, ditsala tse di rategang mo Roma, le lona lo bangwe ba o ba ratang thata, le lona lo lalediwa ke Jesu Keresete go nna ba Modimo tota, ee batho ba one ba ba boitshepo. A masego otlhe a Modimo le kagiso e e tswang kwa Modimong Rara wa rona, le Jesu Keresete Morena wa rona a nne le lona.

7 To all you that be at Rome beloued of God, called to be Saints: Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.

Mmang ke simololeng ka go re, gongwe le gongwe kwa ke yang teng ke utlwa go buiwa kaga lona! Gonne tumelo ya lona mo Modimong e simolola go itsege mo tikologong ya lefatshe. Ke leboga Modimo thata jang ka Jesu Keresete ka pego e e molemo, le ka mongwe le mongwe wa lona.

9 For God is my witnesse (whom I serue in my spirit in the Gospel of his Sonne) that without ceasing I make mention of you

Modimo o itse gore ke lo rapelela gangwe le gape jang. Bosigo le motshegare ke lo baya le tse lo di tlhokang ka thapelo mo go yo ke mo direlang ka thata yotlhe, ke bolelela ba bangwe Mafoko a a molemo kaga Morwaa one.

10 Alwayes in my prayers, beseeching that by some meanes, one time or other I might haue a prosperous iourney by the will of God, to come vnto you.

Mme sengwe sa dilo tse ke di rapelelang gangwe le gape ke lobaka lo lo atlegileng lwa gore, fa Modimo o rata, ke tle go lo bona, le gore fa go kgonega ke tle ke nne le mosepele o o babalesegileng.

11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:

Gonne ke tlhologeletswe go lo etela gore ke tle ke kgone go lo naya tumelo e e tlaa thusang phuthego ya lona go nitama mo Moreneng. Fela jalo le nna, ke tlhoka thuso ya lona, gonne ga ke batle fela go abalana tumelo ya me le lona le nna ke tlhoka go kgothadiwa ke tumelo ya lona. Mongwe le mongwe wa rona o tlaa nna tshegofatso mo go yo mongwe.

12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.

13 Now my brethren, I would that ye should not be ignorant, how that I haue oftentimes purposed to come vnto you (but haue bene let hitherto) that I might haue some fruite also among you, as I haue among the other Gentiles.

Ke batla gore lo itse, bakaulengwe ba ba rategang, gore ke gantsi ke ikaelela go tla kwa go lona (mme go sa kgonege) gore ke tle go dira le lona ke bo ke bone maungo a a molemo, fela jaaka ke dirile mo diphuthegong tse dingwe tsa Badichaba.

14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.

Gonne ke molato o mogolo mo go lona le mo go mongwe le mongwe, le mo bathong ba ba tlhabologileng le dichaba tsa baheitane; ee, mo go ba ba rutegileng le mo go ba ba sa rutegang fela ka go tshwana.

15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.

Jalo he, ka fa selekanyong sa nonofo ya me e e tletseng, ke setse ke siame go tla le kwa go lona mo Roma go rera Mafoko a a Molemo a Modimo.

16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth, to the Iewe first, and also to the Grecian.

Gonne ga ke tlhabisiwe ditlhong ke Mafoko a a Molemo a, kaga Keresete. Ke leano la Modimo le le nonofileng la go gapela kwa legodimong botlhe ba ba dumelang. Molaetsa o, o ne wa rerelwa Bajuta pele ba le bosi, mme jaanong mongwe le mongwe o lalediwa go tla mo Modimong ka yone tsela e.

17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.

Mafoko a a Molemo a, a re bolelela gore Modimo o re baakanyetsa gore re ye legodimong, a re siamisa mo ponong ya Modimo fa re baya tumelo ya rona le boikanyo mo go Keresete go re boloka. Mo go bonwa ka tumelo go tswa tshimologong go ya bokhutlong. Jaaka lokwalo lo bua lo re, “Motho yo o bonang botshelo o tlaa bo bona ka go ikanya Modimo.”

18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.

Mme Modimo o supa bogale jwa one jo bo tswang legodimong mo baleofing, batho ba ba bosula ba ba tlosang boammaaruri mo go bone.

19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.

Gonne ba itse boammaaruri kaga Modimo sentle thata; Modimo o tsentse kitso e mo dipelong tsa bone.

20 For the inuisible things of him, that is, his eternal power and Godhead, are seene by ye creation of the worlde, being considered in his workes, to the intent that they should be without excuse: (aïdios g126)

Go simolola mo dinakong tsa pele batho ba bonye lefatshe le loapi le gotlhe mo Modimo o go dirileng, ebile ba itsile ka go tshela ga one le nonofo e kgolo ya bosakhutleng. Jalo ga ba kitla ba nna le seipato (fa ba ema fa pele ga Modimo ka letsatsi la katlholo). (aïdios g126)

21 Because that when they knewe God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their thoughtes, and their foolish heart was full of darkenesse.

Ee, ba itsile kaga one sentle thata, mme ga ba a ka ba dumela gore ba a o itse kgotsa ba o obamela le fa e le go o leboga ka fa o ba tlhokomelang ka teng malatsi otlhe. Mme morago ga lobakanyana ba simolola go akanya dikakanyo tsa boeleele tsa gore Modimo o ntse jang le gore o batla gore ba dire eng. Jalo ga diragala gore megopolo ya bone ya boeleele e fifale e bo e tlhakatlhakane.

22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.

Ba ikaya fa ba le botlhale kwa ntle ga Modimo, mme ba fetoga dieleele tse di feteletseng ka ntlha ya go tlhoka go ikanya Modimo.

23 For they turned the glorie of the incorruptible God to the similitude of the image of a corruptible man, and of birdes, and foure footed beastes, and of creeping things.

Mme hong mo boemong jwa go obamela Modimo o o galalelang o o tshelang ka bosakhutleng, ba ne ba tsaya dikgong le maje mme ba itirela medimo ya disetwa go e obamela, ba e betla go nna jaaka dinonyane le diphologolo le dinoga le batho ba e seng ba sepe ba ba nyatsegang.

24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:

Jalo Modimo wa ba lesa go tswelela pele mo mofuteng mongwe le mongwe wa boaka, le go dira sengwe le sengwe se ba se batlang ee, ba tlontlolo-lana mebele ka boatla.

25 Which turned the trueth of God vnto a lie, and worshipped and serued the creature, forsaking the Creator, which is blessed for euer, Amen. (aiōn g165)

Mo boemong jwa gore ba dumele se ba itseng e le boammaaruri kaga Mo-dimo, ba dumela ka bomo mo maakeng. Jalo ba obamela dilo tse Modimo o di dirileng, ba gana go obamela one Modimo o o dirileng dilo tse. (aiōn g165)

26 For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature.

Ke sone se Modimo o ba leseleditseng go dira tsotlhe tse di bosula tse, le gore le basadi ba bone ba furalele leano la Modimo la tlholego mme ba simolola go tlontlololana mebele.

27 And likewise also the men left the naturall vse of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthinesse, and receiued in themselues such recompence of their errour, as was meete.

Mme banna, mo boemong jwa go tlhakanela dikobo le basadi ka fa tlholegong, ba simolola go gakalelana, banna ba dira dilo tse di tlhabisang ditlhong le banna ba bangwe, mme ka ntlha ya moo ba bona tuelo e e ba tshwanetseng.

28 For as they regarded not to acknowledge God, euen so God deliuered them vp vnto a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient,

Jalo ke sone se e rileng fa ba latlha Modimo ebile ba sa batle go o itse, Modimo wa ba tlhokomologa gore ba dire sengwe le sengwe se megopolo ya bone e e bosula e neng e ka se akanya.

29 Being full of all vnrighteousnesse, fornication, wickednes, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, of murder, of debate, of deceit, taking all things in the euill part, whisperers,

Matshelo a bone a tlala mofuta mongwe le mongwe wa boikepo le sebe, wa bogagapa le kilo, keletso ya senama, polao, ntwa, maaka, bogalaka le ditshebo.

30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,

E ne e le basebi, ba ba ilang Modimo, ba le makgakga, e le baikgantshi, ba aga ba akanya ditsela tse dintsha tsa go leofa ebile ba tswelela pele ba sa reetse batsadi ba bone.

31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.

Ba leka go itira ba ba sa tlhaloganyeng, ba senya ditsholofetso tsa bone, ba le setlhogo, ba se pelotlhomogi.

32 Which men, though they knew ye Lawe of God, how that they which comit such things are worthie of death, yet not onely do the same, but also fauour them that doe them.

Ba ne ba itse sentle thata gore Modimo o atlholela loso ka ntlha ya melato e, le fa go ntse jalo ba tswelela pele mme ba e dira ka methale yotlhe, ba kgothatsa ba bangwe gore le bone ba e dire.
