Romans 1

1 [I], Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, [am writing this letter]. God chose me to be an apostle, and I was appointed by him {he appointed me} in order that [I should proclaim] (the good message/the gospel) that [comes from him].

Christta Jisugi manai, pakhonchatpa ama oina koubiraba amadi Tengban Mapugi Aphaba Paogidamak khaidokpiraba Paul-dagini.

2 Long before [Jesus came to earth, God] promised [that he would reveal] this good message by means of what his prophets [wrote] in the sacred Scriptures.

Mapugi Senglaba Puyada ikhrabagumna, Aphaba Pao adudi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichousingbu sijinnabiduna kuirabagi mamangda Tengban Mapuna wasakpikhraba aduni.

3 This good message is [about the one whom we know as] his Son. As to his Son’s physical/human nature, he was born a descendant of [King] David.

Masi Ibungo mahakki Machanupa, eikhoigi Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christtagi maramdani: mioiba ama oina Ibungo mahak David-ki sageida pokpani,

4 As to his divine nature, it was shown {[God] showed} powerfully that he is (God’s own Son/the man who is also God). [God] showed this by his Holy Spirit causing him to become alive again after he died. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.

aduga Tengban Mapugi oiba asengba ama oina, asibadagi Ibungobu hinggat-hanbiduna Tengban Mapugi Machanupani haiba adu achouba panggalga loinana utpire.

5 He is the one who appointed me, who did not deserve it, [to be] an apostle. He did that in order that [many] among the non-Jews would honor [him] and would obey him as a result of their believing [my message about him].

Phurup pumnamakki misingbu thajabada amadi haiba inbada chingbinabagidamak, Ibungo mahakki mapanna amadi mahakki minggi maramgidamak eihakpu pakhonchatpa ama oibagi thoujal adu Tengban Mapuna pibire.

6 You [believers] who are living in Rome [city] are included among those whom God has chosen to belong to Jesus Christ.

Tengban Mapuna Jisu Christtagi oinaba koubirabasing adugi manungda Rome-da leiba nakhoisu yaoribani.

7 [I am writing this letter] to all of [you in Rome] whom God loves and whom he has chosen [to become his] people. [I pray that] God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord will [continue to] act kindly toward you and [will continue to] cause you to have [inner] peace.

Tengban Mapuna nungsiba amasung Ibungo mahakmakki mising oinanaba koubiraba Rome-da leiba nakhoi pumnamakta: Eikhoigi Ipa Ibungo Tengban Mapu amasung Mapu Ibungo Jisu Christtana thoujal amasung ingthaba nakhoida pibiba oisanu.

8 As I begin [this letter], I thank my God for all you [believers in Rome]. It is because of [what] Jesus Christ [has done for us that] I [am able to do that]. I thank him because your trusting [in Jesus Christ] is something that people all over [the Roman Empire] [HYP] are talking about.

Ahanbamaktada, nakhoi pumnamakkidamak eina Jisu Christtagi mapanna eigi Tengban Mapu Ibungobu thagatchei, maramdi taibangpan sinbathungna nakhoigi thajaba adugi maramda ngangnari.

9 God, whom I devotedly serve as I [proclaim to people] the gospel concerning his Son, knows that I tell the truth when I say that I always mention you whenever [DOU] I pray [to God] [HYP].

Eina haijaba matam khudingmakta nakhoibu eina ningsing-i haibasi Ibungo mahakki Machanupagi Aphaba Pao adubu eigi thamoi apumbaga loinana sandoktuna thougal toujariba Tengban Mapu mahakna sakhini.

10 I especially ask God that if he desires [me to visit you], somehow at last I shall be able to do so.

Aduga akonbada, Tengban Mapugi aningbagi matung inna eihak nakhoigi naphamda lakpa yanaba lambi hangdokpinabagidamak eina Tengban Mapugi maphamda nijari.

11 [I pray this] because I long to visit you to help you spiritually, in order that you will become stronger [spiritually].

Maramdi nakhoi panggal kanba oinaba thawaigi oiba khudol khara eina nakhoida pinanaba nakhoibu yamna uning-i,

12 I long to visit you in order that you and I might encourage each other [by means of our sharing with each other] how each of us trusts [in Jesus].

madudi eikhoi amaga amagagi thajabana eikhoi amaga amagabu thougatminnanabani.

13 My fellow believers, many times I planned to visit you. I certainly want you to know [LIT] that. [But I have not been able to come to you because] I have been hindered {[things] have always prevented me} until the present time. I have wanted to come in order that I might help you to mature spiritually [IDM], as [I have helped people to mature spiritually] in many other non-Jewish groups [HYP].

Ichil-inaosa, nakhoigi naphamda eihak laknaba toina thourang tou-i, adubu houjik phaoba palhanduna leire haiba asi eina nakhoida khanghanning-i. Eina atoppa Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi maraktagi Christtagi tung inbasing phangbagumna nakhoigi naraktagisu phangba eina pammi.

14 I feel obliged [to proclaim the gospel to all non-Jewish people], specifically to [people who know] the Greek [language and culture] and to those who do not know it, to people who are educated and to those who are uneducated.

Chaokhatpasingdasu, chaokhattabasingdasu, asingbasingdasu apangbasingdasu, eidi mi pumnamakta laman tollabani.

15 So what I have eagerly desired is that I might proclaim this good message to you who are living in Rome also.

Maram aduna Rome-da leiba nakhoidasu Aphaba Pao asi sandokningbagi yamna khourangjaba adu eingonda lei.

16 [That leads me to say that] I very confidently proclaim [LIT] the good message [about what Christ has done], because this good message is the powerful [means] that God [uses] to save [from the guilt of their sins] all people who trust [in what Christ has done for them]. Specifically, God first has saved the Jews [who believe the good message], and then he has saved non-Jews.

Maram aduna eina aphaba paogi maramda ikaiba leijade maramdi madu thajaba mi khudingna aran-khubham phangnaba Tengban Mapugi panggalni; ahanbada Jihudisinggi, aduga Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggisuni.

17 By means of this good message God reveals how he erases the record of people’s sins (OR, declares people no longer guilty for having sinned); and his doing this is entirely because [IDM] they trust [in Christ. This is confirmed] by what [a prophet long ago] wrote [that God said], “Those (whose record of sin [I] have erased/whom [I] have declared no longer guilty for sin) because they trust [in me] will live [forever].”

Maramdi aphaba paoda Tengban Mapugi achumba chatpa adu phongdok-i haibadi achumba chatpa asi houbadagi loiba phaoba thajabagi mapanna oibani. Mapugi puyada asumna ibagumbani, “Achumba chatpana thajabagi mapanna hinggani.”

18 From [where God rules in] heaven he is making it clear to all [non-Jewish] people who show no respect for God and who do wicked things, that he is angry with them [and that they deserve to be punished] {[that he would punish them]} [MTY]. By means of [their behaving] wickedly, they keep other people [from believing what they know] to be true [about God].

Achumbabu makhoigi phattabana namthaba Tengban Mapu ningdaba amadi phattaba misinggi mathakta Tengban Mapugi asaoba adu swargadagi phongdok-i,

19 [Everyone] can clearly know what God [is like], because God himself has revealed to everyone [what he is like].

Tengban Mapugi maramda khangba yaba adu makhoida irai laina khanghanbire maramdi Tengban Mapu masamakna irai laihinbire.

20 [People] cannot see what God is like. But ever since he created the world, by means of what he created he has clearly revealed what he is like. He has made clear to everyone that he has always been able to do very powerful things. [Therefore, we should recognize that] God is powerful, [completely different from all that he created]. So no one has a basis for saying, [“We never knew about God].” (aïdios g126)

Maramdi taibangpan asi semba matamdagi houna uba ngamdaba Ibungo mahakki magunsing haibadi Ibungo mahakki lomba naidaba panggal amadi Tengban Mapugi oiba magun adu Tengban Mapuna sembikhrabasing adudagi mayek sengna ujei amadi khangba ngammi, maram asina makhoigi ngakpipham leite. (aïdios g126)

21 Although [the non-Jews] knew what God [is like], they did not honor him as God, nor did they thank [him for what he had done]. But instead, they began to think foolish [things about him], and they became unable to understand [MET] [what he wanted them to know].

Makhoina Tengban Mapubu khanglabasu, makhoina Ibungobu Tengban Mapu oibagi matik mangal adu pide, aduga thagatpasu toude, adubu makhoigi wakhal makheisu aremba oirakle amasung makhoigi apangba thamoi adu mamsille.

22 Although they claimed that they were wise, they became foolish,

Makhoi asingbani haina makhoina haijarabasu makhoi apangbasing oire,

23 and they refused to [admit that] God is glorious and will never die. Instead, they made and worshipped idols [that resembled people who] will some day die, and [then they made other idols that resembled] birds and four-footed animals, and [finally] they made idols that resembled reptiles.

aduga makhoina siba naidaba Tengban Mapubu khurumjabagi mahutta siba naiba mioiba amadi uchek wayasing, sa ngasing amadi mapukna sittuna chatpasingga manna semlaba murtisingda khurumle.

24 So God allowed [the non-Jews] do immoral sexual things that they [SYN] strongly desired, things [that their desires were compelling them to do]. As a result, they [began to] dishonor each other’s bodies [by their sexual actions].

Maram aduna Tengban Mapuna makhoibu makhoigi thamoigi papki apamba thabaksing adu tounanaba thadokle, makhoina makhoi amaga amaga achoppa thabaksing touminnare.

25 Also, they [chose to worship] false [gods] instead (of admitting/of choosing to believe) what is true [about] God. They worshipped and served things [that God] created instead of [worshipping and serving God himself], the one who created [everything. They did this even though] he [deserves that those he created] would forever praise him. Amen!/May it be so! (aiōn g165)

Makhoina Tengban Mapugi achumba adubu minambaga onthoknare aduga matam pumnamakta thagatkadaba Sembiba Mapubu khurumjabagi mahutta Tengban Mapuna sembikhraba khutsemsingda makhoina khurumduna thougal toure. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 So, God allowed [the non-Jews to do] shameful [sexual] things that they [strongly] desired. As a result, many women did not have natural sexual relations [with their husbands] [EUP]. Instead, they were doing sexual actions with other women [EUP].

Maram asigidamak Tengban Mapuna makhoibu hakchanggi achoppa apamba aduda pithokle. Makhoigi nupisingna phaoba nupi oibina mahousagi oiba nupaga yumbanbagi oiba nupaga mari thamba adu thadoktuna mahousagi oidaba matouda onthokle.

27 Similarly, [many] men stopped having/did not have natural sexual relations with women [EUP]. Instead, they strongly desired to have sexual relations with other men. They committed [homosexual] acts with other men, acts that were shameful. As a result, [God has] punished them [by sicknesses] in their bodies, which is what they deserve [because] they [thought] wrongly [that God would not punish them for doing that].

Matou adugumna nupasingnasu nupisingga mahousagi oiba yumbanbagi mari thamba adu thadokle, aduga amana amagi maphamda makhoigi apamba aduna meigumna chakle. Nupasingna makhoi amaga amaga achoppa thabak touminnare aduna maram oiduna makhoina touba aranba adugi phangpham thokpa cheirak adu phangle.

28 Furthermore, because they decided that it was not [worthwhile] to know God, he allowed their own worthless thoughts [to completely control them]. As a result, they began doing [evil] things that [God says that people] should not do.

Tengban Mapugi maramda khangba adu makoina makhoigi pukningda thammu haiba yadaba maramna Ibungona makhoibu lamchat mot-hanba wakhalda pithokle, maram aduna makhoina touroidaba adu tou-i.

29 They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] unrighteous [things]. They strongly desire to do all [kinds of] evil things [to others]. They strongly desire to possess things that [belong to others]. They strongly desire to harm [others] in various ways. [Many non-Jews] are constantly envying [other people. Many] constantly desire to murder [people. Many] constantly desire to cause strife [between people. Many] constantly desire to deceive [others. Many] constantly desire to speak hatefully [about others] (OR, [to speak harmful things about others, things that are not true]). [Many] gossip [about others].

Makhoi makhal kayagi phattaba, mangnaba machak, karaamba amadi lamchat mangthabana thalli; makhoi kallakpa, mi hatpa, khatnaba, minamba amadi yengthibana thalli. Makhoina miwa ngangnei

30 [Many] slander [others. Many] act especially hatefully toward God. [Many] speak or act in an insulting way [toward others. Many] treat others contemptuously. [Many] boast [about themselves to others. Many] invent new ways to do evil things. [Many non-Jewish children] disobey their parents.

amadi amaga amagagi mathakta phattaba ngang-i; makhoina Tengban Mapubu tukkachei, lamket-lamhaiba oi, napan tou-i amadi chaothok-i; phattaba thabak tounaba ahenba lambi thibagi wakhal tou-i; mama mapana haiba inde;

31 [Many non-Jews] act in other morally foolish ways. [Many] do not do what they promised [others that they would do. Many] do not [even] love [their own family members. And many] do not act mercifully [toward other people].

makhoi wakhal tade, wasak ngakte, nungsiba leite amasung chanbiheite.

32 Although they know that God has declared that those who do such things deserve to be killed, they not only habitually do these [kinds of evil] things, but they also approve of others who habitually do them.

Asigumba thabak toubasing adu siba matik chai haiba Tengban Mapugi achumba wayel adu makhoina khang-i. Adubu hairiba pumnamak asi makhoina touduna leibata nattaduna asigumba touba mising adubusu makhoina ayaba pi.
