< Romans 1 >

1 Paul a seruant of Iesus Christ called to be an Apostle, put apart to preache the Gospel of God,
Pọl, odibo Kraịst Jisọs, onye Chineke kpọrọ ka ọ bụrụ onyeozi ya na onye o kewapụtara ka o zisaa oziọma ya.
2 (Which he had promised afore by his Prophetes in the holy Scriptures)
Oziọma a bụ nke ahụ Chineke kwere na nkwa nʼoge gara aga site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya nke e dere ihe banyere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
3 Concerning his Sonne Iesus Christ our Lord (which was made of the seede of Dauid according to the flesh,
Oziọma a metụtara Ọkpara ya, onye bụ nwa Devid site nʼọmụmụ nke anụ ahụ.
4 And declared mightily to be the Sonne of God, touching the Spirit of sanctification by the resurrection from the dead)
Onye esitere na Mmụọ nke ịdị nsọ họpụta ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼike nke mbilite nʼọnwụ, bụ Kraịst Jisọs, Onyenwe anyị.
5 By whom we haue receiued grace and Apostleship (that obedience might be giuen vnto ye faith) for his Name among al ye Gentiles,
Onye anyị sitere nʼaka ya nata amara na ọrụ ị bụ onyeozi, ime ka ndị mba ọzọ nwee nrube isi nke okwukwe nʼetiti ha nʼihi aha ya.
6 Among whom ye be also the called of Iesus Christ:
Tinyere unu onwe unu ndị ahụ a kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nke Jisọs Kraịst.
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.
Ya bụ, unu ndị Chineke hụrụ nʼanya bi na Rom, ndị ọ kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nsọ: Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
8 First I thanke my God through Iesus Christ for you all, because your faith is published throughout the whole world.
Na mbụ, ana m ekele Chineke ekele nʼihi unu niile, site nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst. Nʼihi na a na-ekwusa ihe banyere okwukwe unu nʼụwa niile.
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
Chineke, onye m na-ejere ozi, nʼime mmụọ site na ikwusa oziọma nke Ọkpara ya, bụ onye akaebe na m na-echeta unu mgbe niile nʼekpere m.
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.
Nʼekpere m oge niile, a na m arịọ ka ọ bụrụ ihe ga-ekwe mee na site nʼike Chineke, aga m enwe ohere ịbịa leta unu.
11 For I long to see you, that I might bestowe among you some spirituall gift, that you might be strengthened:
Ọ na-agụ m agụụ nke ukwuu ịbịa hụ unu anya, nʼihi na achọrọ m ka unu keta oke nʼonyinye Mmụọ Nsọ nke Chineke nyere m, nke ga-enyere unu aka iguzosi ike nʼokwukwe.
12 That is, that I might be comforted together with you, through our mutuall faith, both yours and mine.
Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nke a, kama achọrọ m ka anyị gbarịtaa onwe anyị ume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
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.
Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata na atụọla m atụmatụ ịbịa leta unu ọtụtụ mgbe (ma tutu ruo ugbu a e gbochiri m ịbịa), ka m nwee ike nweta mkpụrụ nʼetiti unu, dịka m nwere nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
14 I am detter both to the Grecians, and to the Barbarians, both to the wise men and vnto the vnwise.
Nʼihi na abụ m onye ji ụgwọ nye ndị Griik na ndị mba ọzọ, nyekwa ndị maara ihe na ndị nzuzu.
15 Therefore, as much as in me is, I am readie to preach ye Gospel to you also that are at Rome.
Ya mere m ji dị njikere ikwusa oziọma nyekwa unu bụ ndị bi na Rom.
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.
Nʼihi na ihere oziọma ahụ anaghị eme m, nʼihi na ọ bụ ike Chineke na-ewetara onye ọbụla kwere na ya nzọpụta, nye onye Juu na mbụ nakwa nye onye Griik.
17 For by it the righteousnesse of God is reueiled from faith to faith: as it is written, The iust shall liue by faith.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoziọma ka e kpughere ezi omume Chineke, ezi omume nke na-esite nʼokwukwe ruo okwukwe. Dịka e siri dee ya, “Onye ezi omume ga-esite nʼokwukwe dị ndụ.”
18 For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, which withhold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
Nʼihi na e sitela nʼeluigwe kpughe ọnụma Chineke megide mmehie na ajọ omume niile nke ndị na-emebi iwu, ndị na-esite nʼajọ omume ha na-eguzogide eziokwu ahụ.
19 Forasmuch as that, which may be knowe of God, is manifest in them: for God hath shewed it vnto them.
Nʼihi na ndị a maara ihe ha kwesiri ịmata banyere Chineke. Ha maara ya nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya emeela ka o doo ha anya.
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)
Nʼihi na site nʼoge Chineke kere ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ụdịdị ya nke a na-apụghị ịhụ anya na ike nke ebighị ebi ya na ụdịdị ịdị nsọ ya ka e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè nye ụmụ mmadụ. Ụmụ mmadụ na-aghọta ihe ndị a site nʼihe ndị e kere eke. Nʼihi nke a ụmụ mmadụ enwekwaghị ngọpụ. (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.
Ọ bụ eziokwu na ha maara Chineke, ma ha anaghị asọpụrụ ya, ha anakwaghị enye ya ekele dịka Chineke. Echiche uche ha bụ ihe efu, nzuzu ha mere ka obi ha gbaa ọchịchịrị.
22 When they professed themselues to be wise, they became fooles.
Mgbe ha na-eche na ha bụ ndị maara ihe, ha amataghị na ha bụ ndị nzuzu.
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.
Kama ife Chineke na-adịghị anwụ anwụ ofufe, ha weere otuto ha kwesiri inye ya nye ihe ndị ahụ ha jiri aka ha kpụọ. Ihe ndị a yiri mmadụ na-anwụ anwụ, na nnụnụ, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.
24 Wherefore also God gaue them vp to their hearts lusts, vnto vncleannesse, to defile their owne bodies betweene themselues:
Nʼihi ya, Chineke hapụrụ ha ka ha mee ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ na-agụ obi ha agụụ nye adịghị ọcha nke ịkwa iko, ha jikwa ahụ ha emerịta mpu nʼetiti onwe ha.
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)
Ha were okwu ụgha dochie nʼọnọdụ eziokwu banyere Chineke. Ha na-asọpụrụ, na-efekwa ihe e kere eke, ma hapụ Onye okike, onye a na-eto ruo ebighị ebi. Amen. (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.
Ọ bụ nke a mere Chineke jiri nyefee ha nʼaka agụụ anụ ahụ nke na-eme ihere. Nʼihi ya, ọ bụladị ndị inyom na ndị inyom ibe ha nọgidere na-enwe mmekọrịta nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi.
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.
Ọzọkwa, kama ha na ndị inyom inwe mmekọrịta; ndị ikom ha họọrọ ka ha na ndị ikom ibe ha na-enwe ụdị mmekọrịta nke ha na ndị inyom kwesiri inwe. Nwoke na-edinakwuru nwoke ibe ya. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha natakwara ntaramahụhụ kwesiri ha nʼihi ihe ọjọọ ndị a ha na-eme.
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,
Ya mere, ebe ha kpachapụrụ anya jụ ịmata onye Chineke bụ, Chineke nyere ha akọnuche ndị nzuzu, nke mere ka ha na-eme ihe ọjọọ niile nke ajọ echiche obi ha chepụtara.
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,
Ha jupụtara nʼajọ omume na mmehie niile, anya ukwu na aghụghọ. Ha jupụtakwara nʼekworo, na igbu mmadụ, na esemokwu, na uche gbagọrọ agbagọ na ịkpọ asị. Ha bụ ndị na-ekwu okwu azụ,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, doers of wrong, proude, boasters, inuenters of euil things, disobedient to parents,
na ndị nkwutọ na ndị kpọrọ Chineke asị, na ndị na-akparị mmadụ na ndị mpako na ndị na-anya isi. Ha na-atụpụta ụzọ ọhụrụ ime ihe ọjọọ, ha adịghị asọpụrụ ndị mụrụ ha.
31 without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, such as can neuer be appeased, mercilesse.
Ha bụkwa ndị na-enweghị nghọta, ndị na-enweghị okwukwe, ndị obi ọjọọ na ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.
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.
Ha maa na Chineke nyere iwu dị ike na ndị na-ebi ndụ dị otu a kwesiri ọnwụ, ma ha gara nʼihu na-eme ihe ndị a, ma na-akwalịkwa mmụọ ndị ọzọ ka ha soro na-eme ha.
