Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an Apostle, set apart to proclaim God's Good News,
Mini Pɔli, Jesu Kiristu tuonsɔnlo, ke bi yini nni ke min tua ya tondo ke o gagdi ki baa wangi U Tienu laabaalŋamo,
2 which God had already promised through His Prophets in Holy Writ, concerning His Son,
U Tienu bo tuodi ki niani, ki cedi ke bi sawalpuaba diani a tilŋama dianŋami nni, ke li ba tua yeni,
3 who, as regards His human descent, belonged to the posterity of David,
Ke li nua o Bijua yua n mali, ki tie Dafiidi puolŋuanu, yaa tie ti gbannandi po.
4 but as regards the holiness of His Spirit was decisively proved by His Resurrection to be the Son of God--I mean concerning Jesus Christ our Lord,
Ke li dɔgdi yeni U Tienu Foŋanma paaciamu, ki waani ke o tie U Tienu Bijua ki dugni o iedma bi kpienba siiga, wani yua n tie Jesu Kiristu, T Diedo.
5 through whom we have received grace and Apostleship in His service in order to win men to obedience to the faith, among all Gentile peoples,
Wani ya po ke ti baa li ŋanbli, ki tua o tondba ki ba cedi o yeli po bi nilanba ń tuo ki ya cɔlni, ki go dugi o po.
6 among whom you also, called, as you have been, to belong to Jesus Christ, are numbered:
Yinba yaaba ke Jesu Kiristu yini ne, i mo ye li nibuoli siiga nni.
7 To all God's loved ones who are in Rome, called to be saints. May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
N diani li tili ne yinba yaaba n ye Roma, ki tie U Tienu buakaaba, ke o gagdi ki yini yi ke yin tua niŋanba: U Tienu ti Báa yeni ti Diedo Jesu Kiristu ń puni yi li ŋanbli yeni mi yanduanma!
8 First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for what He has done for all of you; for the report of your faith is spreading through the whole world.
N dá ba tieni U Tienu balga Jesu Kiristu yeli po yinba ya po, kelima ŋanduna kuli bani i dudugdi ń caa ki se naani.
9 I call God to witness--to whom I render priestly and spiritual service by telling the Good News about His Son-- how unceasingly I make mention of you in His presence,
U Tienu, min tuuni yua ya po, ke li nua o Bijua laabaalŋamo, tie n kasiedi, ke n maadi i maama daali kuli kaa cedi.
10 always in my prayers entreating that now, at length, if such be His will, the way may by some means be made clear for me to come to you.
N miadi n jaandi nni kaa cedi, ke li ya tie o yanbuama po, min baa u sanu yeni li pamanli ki cua yiani.
11 For I am longing to see you, in order to convey to you some spiritual help, so that you may be strengthened;
Kelima n bua min la yi, ki bɔgdi yeni yi U Tienu Foŋanma paabu, yin fidi ki ya se taajala lie ke li paa.
12 in other words that while I am among you we may be mutually encouraged by one another's faith, yours and mine.
Lani yaa ka, n ya cua i siiga, ti kuli ń taani ki baa li papaali kelima yinba yeni mini ń taani ki pia ya dandanli po.
13 And I desire you to know, brethren, that I have many a time intended to come to you--though until now I have been disappointed--in order that among you also I might gather some fruit from my labours, as I have already done among the rest of the Gentile nations.
N naataani, mii bua min wuoni yi ke n yen kali, ki jagi ke min cua i kani, ki la yi, ki cie ya luana n ye i siiga yeni ya nibuoli n sieni; ama hali yeni mɔla kuli, n dá ki ba sanu.
14 I am already under obligations alike to Greek-speaking races and to others, to cultured and to uncultured people:
Li tie n po panli i, ke min gedi ki la Girekinba yeni bi yanbɔndanba, ki gedi ki la a gbanbanda yeni yaaba n ki kua cogu kuli.
15 so that for my part I am willing and eager to proclaim the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Lanyapo, li tie n po buamɔnma i, ke min kpaandi ki waani yinba yaaba n ye Roma po, o laabaalŋamo.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News. It is God's power which is at work for the salvation of every one who believes--the Jew first, and then the Gentile.
Kelima mii ji jie fee yeni min waani o laabaalŋamo: li tie U Tienu paaciamu faabma i, yua n daani kulipo; ki cili juufinba ki tuadi Gilekinba
17 For in the Good News a righteousness which comes from God is being revealed, depending on faith and tending to produce faith; as the Scripture has it, "The righteous man shall live by faith."
Li laabaalŋamo n dɔgdi ki wangi U Tienu teginma yaama n ŋua li dandanli, ki go tie li dandanli po, nani lan diani maama: “O niteginka baa fo o dandanli po.
18 For God's anger is being revealed from Heaven against all impiety and against the iniquity of men who through iniquity suppress the truth. God is angry:
U tienu panbienli ñani tanpoli ki ddɔgdi, ki yie bi niba tuonbiadi kuli po yeni yaali n ki tuagi i mɔmɔni sanu po bani yaaba n cedi ke bi tuonbiadi dɔgni i mɔmɔni.
19 because what may be known about Him is plain to their inmost consciousness; for He Himself has made it plain to them.
Kelima lan buali ke ban ya bani U Tienu po yaali ki duagi ba bá waamu; U Tienu wani o bá n waani ba.
20 For, from the very creation of the world, His invisible perfections--namely His eternal power and divine nature--have been rendered intelligible and clearly visible by His works, so that these men are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Lanyapo, U Tienu ŋandi yaadi n ki pia bianu, O paaciamu yuu n ki pia gbenma yeni o yenyema ki duagi ba; bi nua likuli yeni bi nuni, hali ŋanduna tagma. Ti ya diidi wan tagi yaali kuli, bi niba ki pia ban ba yedi yaali ki faabi bi yula. (aïdios g126)
21 For when they had come to know God, they did not give Him glory as God nor render Him thanks, but they became absorbed in useless discussions, and their senseless minds were darkened.
Kelima, ban bandi U Tienu, bi naa kpiagi o nani o tie U Tienu; baa tieni o balga yeni o tuonŋama; ama bi maalbiidi biani ba ke bi luoni bi pala ki ki kua li biigli nni.
22 While boasting of their wisdom they became utter fools,
Bi tie ti japaadi ki maali ke bi tie yanfodanba i, ki na tie gaada.
23 and, instead of worshipping the imperishable God, they worshipped images resembling perishable man or resembling birds or beasts or reptiles.
Bi lebdi U Tienu yua n ki pia juodma yudandi ki nan ŋua ya bonnannandi tie o nisaalo yua n ba kpe, lani yaa ka ti bonyugditi, ti yandi yeni a bonbalinkaana.
24 For this reason, in accordance with their own depraved cravings, God gave them up to uncleanness, allowing them to dishonour their bodies among themselves with impurity.
Lani ya po i ke U Tienu tulni ba ti tuonjɔgindi po, ke ban ya tiendi bi pala ń faadi yaali; ke bi ji tie bi ŋmiali nni, yaali n pia i fee, hali ki biidi bi gbanu.
25 For they had bartered the reality of God for what is unreal, and had offered divine honours and religious service to created things, rather than to the Creator--He who is for ever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Bani yaaba n lebdi ki ŋa U Tienu mɔmɔni, ki nan ŋua mi tofaama, bani yaaba n kpiagdi U Tienu tagma ki nan ŋa wani o tagdo yua dagdi yeni ya kpiagdi n ki pia gbenma. Ami! (aiōn g165)
26 This then is the reason why God gave them up to vile passions. For not only did the women among them exchange the natural use of their bodies for one which is contrary to nature, but the men also,
Lanyapo i, ke U Tienu tulni ba ke bi faadi ti tuonjɔgindi yeni i fee tuona: Kelima bi puoba ŋa U Tienu ń tagi ba yaali ya po ki ŋɔdi ti cancagindi tuona.
27 in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct.
Bi jaba moko, lani n yeni, bi ŋa ban tagi o pua yaali ya po, ki fiindi bi gbanu, ki ŋua b jalieba ki cagni bi yula ki fiagdi bi bá. Bi ba baa bi gaadyema ń dagdi yeni ya pani.
28 And just as they had refused to continue to have a full knowledge of God, so it was to utterly worthless minds that God gave them up, for them to do things which should not be done.
Nani ban den ki maali ke ban bandi U Tienu yeni, U Tienu mo ŋmagdi ba bi pala ń bua ya tuonjɔgindi po i, ke ban ya tie ya bona n ki pia mayuli.
29 Their hearts overflowed with all sorts of dishonesty, mischief, greed, malice. They were full of envy and murder, and were quarrelsome, crafty, and spiteful.
Bi pala gbie yeni yaali n ki tiegi kuli, mi biadma, mi ŋaanma, bu nunfanbiadbu, ki nanga, mi kuukpama, li kɔnkɔnli, mi niama, ku tugtongu,
30 They were secret backbiters, open slanderers; hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful; inventors of new forms of sin, disobedient to parents, destitute of common sense,
Bi tie dokpala, jonjondanba, yenyiekaaba, japaadanba, maciandanba, tuonbiididanba, danyiekaaba yeni yanluodanba.
31 faithless to their promises, without natural affection, without human pity.
Bi tie yanpiidanba, ŋanwaadanba, bi yama ki siadi bi nisaallielo po, baa pia niñingbadma mo.
32 In short, though knowing full well the sentence which God pronounces against actions such as theirs, as things which deserve death, they not only practise them, but even encourage and applaud others who do them.
Bá ke bi bani U Tienu buudi po, ki bani ke yaaba n tie lan ya bona dagdi yeni mi kuuma; baa tie li bona baba ka, ama bi go taa yaaba n tie li bona po, ki go puuni ba i mɔni.
