Romans 1
1 From Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, who has been called to become an apostle, and has been set apart to tell God’s good news.
Susura ia mia au, Paulus. Lamatualain noꞌe nala au fo dadꞌi Yesus Kristus dedꞌenun. Ana soꞌu au dadꞌi Yesus Kristus atahori dedꞌenun fo uu dui-bꞌengga Eni Hara-lii Malolen sudꞌiꞌ sia bee-bꞌee.
2 This good news God promised long ago through his prophets in the sacred scriptures,
Dalahulun, Lamatualain nafadꞌe neu mana ola-ola nara fo suraꞌ soꞌal Hara-lii Maloleꞌ naa, sia Susura Meumaren. Sia Susura naa, Lamatuaꞌ helu-fuli nae haitua Anan, Yesus, fo nema dadꞌi atahori. Ia naa, Hehelu-fufulin naa dadꞌi ena, huu Yesus nema dadꞌi atahori mia mane Daud tititi-nononosin ena.
3 concerning his Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; who, as to his human nature, was descended from David,
4 but, as to the spirit of holiness within him, was miraculously designated Son of God by his resurrection from the dead.
Te Lamatualain natudꞌu bukti nae, Yesus Kristus naa, Eni Anan boe. Huu Yesus Dula-dalen, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ meumareꞌ onaꞌ Lamatualain. Ma Lamatuaꞌ pake koasan de nafefela baliꞌ Yesus mia mamaten. Naa de, hita bubꞌuluꞌ tae Lamatualain Anan, naeni Yesus, hita Lamatuan.
5 Through him we received the gift of the apostolic office, to win submission to the faith among all nations for the glory of his name.
Yesus natudꞌu rala malolen neu au, huu Ana tengga nala au dadꞌi dedꞌenun fo uu dui-bꞌengga hehelu-fufulin sia bee-bꞌee. Huu Ana nau atahori nda Yahudi ra sa o, ramahere E boe ma rasodꞌa tungga hihii-nanaun. Au o nau fo atahori mia basa nusaꞌ ra, ramahere Kristus ma rasodꞌa tungga hihii-nanaun.
6 And among these nations are you – you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.
Hei mana sia Roma ra o, onaꞌ naa boe. Hei ima mia nusaꞌ hetar sia mamanaꞌ hetar. Yesus Kristus noꞌe nala hei nae, “Ima leo! Ima dadꞌi Au atahori nggara!”
7 To all in Rome who are dear to God and have been called to become Christ’s people, may God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.
Naa de au haitua susura fee nggi sia Roma, ma fee nggi nesenenedꞌaꞌ ae, Lamatualain sue-lai nggi. Ana o noꞌe fo ama dadꞌi Eni atahorin mana rasodꞌa meumareꞌ. Au hule-oꞌe fo Lamatualain, hita Aman, no Yesus Kristus, hita Lamatuan, ratudꞌu rala malole nara neu nggi ma fee nggi misodꞌa no mole-dꞌame.
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because the report of your faith is spreading throughout the world.
Au mulai suraꞌ susura ngga ia, no oꞌe makasi nae-nae neu Lamatualain, huu Yesus Kristus ue-tao sia rala mara. Au o oꞌe makasi boe, huu atahori mana leo sia mana parenda Roma ra nusa nara, ara ola-olaꞌ soꞌal hei nemehere mara neu Yesus.
9 God, to whom I offer the worship of my soul as I tell the goodness of his Son, is my witness how constantly I mention you when I pray,
Au hule-oꞌe nda namaꞌetu sa fee nggi. Tebꞌe! Lamatuaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ nae, saa fo au olaꞌ ia, tebꞌe. Ana o bubꞌuluꞌ au manggate tao ues, fo dui-bꞌengga Anan Hara-lii Malolen.
10 asking that, if he be willing, I may some day at last find the way open to visit you.
Mete ma au hule-oꞌe na, au oꞌe taꞌo ia: “Lamatuaꞌ, au nda itaꞌ ae dꞌalan taꞌo bee sa boe. Te mete ma tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun, na, soi dalaꞌ fo au uu ita nonoo nggara sia Roma.”
11 For I long to see you, in order to impart to you some spiritual gift and so give you fresh strength –
Au hule-oꞌe taꞌo naa, huu au hii-nau ae ita nggi, fo bꞌanggi fee nggi koasa mia Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen, fo ama dadꞌi mii Lamatuaꞌ atahorin mana maꞌatata mahereꞌ.
12 or rather that both you and I may find encouragement in each other’s faith.
Au masud ngga taꞌo ia: mete ma au dadꞌi uma leo o nggi, au ae tao manggatee rala mara, fo nemehere mara boe manggatee. Ma au nau fo hei o tao manggatetee rala ngga boe.
13 I want you to know, my friends, that I have many times intended coming to see you – but until now I have been prevented – that I might find among you some fruit of my labours, as I have already among the other nations.
Toronoo susue nggara e! Au nau fo ama bubꞌuluꞌ mae, au ae eti seꞌu nggi sia Roma lao hetar ena. Te losa faiꞌ ia au nda feꞌe eti sa boe. De mete ma dadꞌi eti, au hule-huleꞌ fo atahori hetar feꞌe ramahere rahereꞌ neu Kristus, onaꞌ sia mamanaꞌ laen ra boe. No taꞌo naa, au ue-tatao ngga naꞌena buna-bꞌoa maloleꞌ.
14 I have a duty to both the Greek and the barbarian, to both the cultured and the ignorant.
Mae taꞌo bee o, au musi dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen neu atahori mana olaꞌ dedꞌea Yunani do, atahori diintiu mana olaꞌ dedꞌea laen do, atahori moko do, anak do, sakolaꞌ do, nda sakolaꞌ sa. Au musi dui-bꞌengga Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen neu basa atahori. Naa de au sadꞌia ala ena ae eti seꞌu nggi sia Roma.
15 And so, for my part, I am ready to tell the good news to you also who are in Rome.
16 For I am not ashamed of the good news; it is the power of God which brings salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, but also to the Greek.
Au nda mae mbei-mbei sa boe, soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Hara-lii Malolen. Te mete ma atahori namahere neu Lamatualain, Hara-liiꞌ naa naꞌena koasa mia E fo fee masodꞌaꞌ neu atahori naa, sala-kilun. Atahori Yahudi ra bubꞌuluꞌ raꞌahuluꞌ dalaꞌ ia ra, dei de nusaꞌ laen ra.
17 For in it there is a revelation of the divine righteousness resulting from faith and leading on to faith; as scripture says – “Through faith the righteous will find life.”
Hara-liiꞌ naa o natudꞌu Lamatuaꞌ dꞌalan fo tao natetu atahori masalaꞌ ra. Basa naa ra bisa dadꞌi, sadꞌi atahori ramahere neu E, ma ramahere rakandooꞌ a. Huu nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meumaren oi, “Atahori musi ramahere neu Lamatualain dei, dei fo ara feꞌe malolole ro E. Huu mete ma rasodꞌa ramahere neu E, dei fo ara feꞌe hambu masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ ena.”
18 So, too, there is a revelation from heaven of the divine wrath against every form of ungodliness and wickedness on the part of those people who, by their wicked lives, are stifling the truth.
Te Lamatualain nafadꞌe basa taꞌo ia: hambu atahori nda nau taoafiꞌ neu E sa. Ma hambu ruma tao dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ma Lamatuaꞌ nda simbo tatao-nonoꞌin nara naa sa. Atahori ia ra rahine ndoo-tetuꞌ a sia rala nara ena. Onaꞌ naa o, ara akaꞌ tao rakandooꞌ a dꞌala-dꞌala nda matetuꞌ ra sa. Ara nda nau simbo ndoo-tetuꞌ a sa ma ara akaꞌ kokoe-nanasi atahori, losa basa se nda ritaꞌ rae bee ndoo-tetuꞌ sa ena. Naa de Lamatuaꞌ nae naꞌondaꞌ huku-dꞌokiꞌ neu se mia lalai nema.
19 This is so, because what can be known about God is plain to them; for God himself has made it plain.
20 For ever since the creation of the universe God’s invisible attributes – his everlasting power and divinity – are to be seen and studied in his works, so that people have no excuse; (aïdios g126)
Atahori ia ra nda raꞌena totoꞌu-nonoet fo rasalaꞌe ao nara sa, huu dalaꞌ mana tao atahori bisa bubꞌuluꞌ soꞌal Lamatualain naa, manggareloꞌ ena. Te Mesaꞌ ne mana natudꞌu naa! Au masud ngga taꞌo ia: eniꞌ a mia Ana naꞌadadadꞌiꞌ lalai no raefafoꞌ losa leleꞌ ia, mete ma atahori rae rahine soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ, no koasan nda mana mamaꞌetuꞌ sa, na bisa! Mae Lamatuaꞌ nda nenenitaꞌ sa o, te hita atahori feꞌe tahine E mia saa fo Ana taoꞌ ra. Naa de au ae, atahori deꞌulakaꞌ ra nda raꞌena totoꞌu-nonoet fo rasalaꞌe ao nara sa ena rae, “Au nda uhine saa-saa soꞌal Lamatualain sa.” (aïdios g126)
21 because, although they learned to know God, yet they did not offer him as God either praise or thanksgiving. Their speculations about him proved futile, and their undiscerning minds were darkened.
Dadꞌi mae rahine Lamatuaꞌ, te nda nau rataa E rae, “Lamatuaꞌ naa, hita Lamatualain na!” Ara o nda nau roꞌe makasi mbali E sa boe. Boe ma dudꞌuꞌa nara liuali, losa nda rahine saa-saa fo matetuꞌ a sa ena. Ara nda ritaꞌ rae taꞌo bee sa de ara ander-ander mataꞌ-mataꞌ, soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ. Ma rala nara maꞌahatu.
22 Professing to be wise, they showed themselves fools;
Ara esa-esaꞌ olaꞌ no koaot rae, “Au ia, atahori mana nahine dalaꞌ naeꞌ!” Mae ara duꞌa raꞌo naa o, te matetun, nggoa nara onaꞌ amba e.
23 and they transformed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of mortal humans, and of birds, and beasts, and reptiles.
Boe ma ara nda beꞌutee neu Lamatualain manaseliꞌ a sa, huu ara rae, “Hai nda parlu Lamatuaꞌ mataꞌ naa sa!” Te ara mulai beꞌutee neu paton mataꞌ-mataꞌ, mana onaꞌ atahori. Ma ara o beꞌutee neu paton mana onaꞌ mbuiꞌ, onaꞌ banda laen, ma mana onaꞌ mengge ra boe. No taꞌo naa, ara timba hendi Lamatuaꞌ fo nda mana mateꞌ a sa, de nggati no sudꞌiꞌ a saa mana bisa mateꞌ ra!
24 Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, until they dishonoured their own bodies;
Naa de Lamatuaꞌ hela se taꞌo naa ena, fo hela se tao tunggaꞌ a hihii nara. Ana hela se sudꞌiꞌ a tao tungga dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ mata-mataꞌ mana naꞌoka sia rala nara. Losa nda raꞌena mamaet sa ena. Boe ma ara tao-taoꞌ a manggenggeoꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu ao nara, ma tao onaꞌ naa neu atahori laen ao nara boe.
25 for they had substituted a lie for the truth about God, and had reverenced and worshiped created things more than the Creator, who is to be praised for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Ara rahine nenori ndoo-tetuꞌ soꞌal Lamatualain sia rala nara ena, te ara nda nau taoafiꞌ sa. Dudꞌuꞌa nara rambalulutu ena, ma ara dudꞌuꞌa rae, “Malole lenaꞌ, ata tao mataꞌ-mataꞌ, fo rambalulutu, te nda hambu nggenggeroꞌ saa sa boe!” Ara beꞌutee neu sudꞌiꞌ a saa fo Lamatuaꞌ taoꞌ ra, te nda nau beꞌutee neu Lamatuaꞌ mana tao basa sudꞌiꞌ a saa naa ra sa! Ara tao ao nara onaꞌ atahori mamahereꞌ re, tao-tao te hokoꞌ, nda maisiꞌ saa sa boe! Huu matetun, hita atahori musi koa-kio fee hadꞌa-hormat neu Lamatualain nekendoꞌ a! Naa, dei fo nandaa! (aiōn g165)
26 That, I say, is why God abandoned them to degrading passions. Even the women among them perverted the natural use of their bodies to the unnatural;
Huu deꞌulaka nara, naa de Lamatuaꞌ hela se, fo ara tao-taoꞌ a manggenggeoꞌ, tunggaꞌ a hihii-nanau nara. Ara akaꞌ hohongge mataꞌ-mataꞌ, nda mae rahine sa. Inaꞌ ra nda nau sungguꞌ ro sao nara sa, ara hiiꞌ a saa, mana nda nandaa no hadꞌat sa. Huu inaꞌ ra sungguꞌ ro inaꞌ ra!
27 while the men, disregarding that for which women were intended by nature, were consumed with passion for one another. Men indulged in vile practices with men, and incurred in their own persons the inevitable penalty for their perverseness.
Touꞌ ra o onaꞌ naa boe! Nda hii sungguꞌ ro sao nara sa, te sungguꞌ roꞌ a touꞌ ra! Nda mae rahine sa boe! Naa de ara hambu huhuku-dodꞌokiꞌ nandaa no tataon nara! Huu ara lao raꞌadꞌodꞌooꞌ mia dala ndoo-tetuꞌ a ena.
28 Then, as they would not keep God before their minds, God abandoned them to depraved thoughts, so that they did all kinds of shameful things.
Ara duꞌa rae, “Malole lenaꞌ, ata afiꞌ nenepaꞌa-siiꞌ to Lamatuaꞌ,” Naa de Lamatuaꞌ hela se reuꞌ ena, de ara sudꞌiꞌ a tao tungga hihii-nanau nara! Dadꞌi ara duꞌa akaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ ra! Boe ma tao-taoꞌ a dꞌala-dꞌala nda matetuꞌ ra sa!
29 They revelled in every form of wickedness, evil, greed, vice. Their lives were full of envy, murder, quarrelling, treachery, malice.
Masodꞌa nara sofeꞌ ro deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ara nda rahine tao maloleꞌ ra sa, te rahine taoꞌ a deꞌulakaꞌ. Ara hii-nau leli. Ara rambedꞌaꞌ ralaꞌ. Ara hiiꞌ a horombala. Ara risa atahori. Ara akaꞌ ratofa-raauꞌ. Ara peko-lelekoꞌ. Ara Lakaese. Ara rendi-rendiꞌ a dedꞌea lenaꞌ.
30 They became back-biters, slanderers, impious, insolent, boastful. They devised new sins. They disobeyed their parents.
Ara raꞌamuti atahori naran. Ara mburu-oeꞌ ro Lamatuaꞌ. Ara onaꞌ nda nenenenoriꞌ sa. Ara hiiꞌ a raloe-radꞌae atahori. Ara hiiꞌ a koa-boꞌu ao nara. Ara hiiꞌ a sangga dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Ara hiiꞌ a labꞌan atahori lasiꞌ ra.
31 They were undiscerning, untrustworthy, without natural affection or pity.
Ara nda ritaꞌ rae saa fo matetuꞌ sa. Ara ralena langga neu sira hehelu-fufuli nara, losa atahori nda ramahere se sa ena. Ara nda sue rahine atahori sa. Ara nda raꞌena susue-lalaiꞌ mbei sa boe neu atahori.
32 Well aware of God’s decree, that those who do such things deserve to die, not only are they guilty of them themselves, but they even applaud those who do them.
Ara rahine Lamatualain hohoro-lalanen mana oi, atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ mataꞌ naa ra, randaa hambu hukun mates. Mae rahine hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa o, te ara feꞌe tao deꞌulakaꞌ nda mbei-mbeiꞌ a sa. Nda akaꞌ a naa sa, ara o akaꞌ dunggu-mbau atahori, fo ara o tungga tao salaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe. Naa seli tebꞌe!
