Loma 1

1 Mini Polo yua n tie JESU Kilisiti nacemo, U TIENU denyini ki gandi nni ke n tua o tondo o labaaliŋamo wangima po.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

2 Laa laabaaliŋamo, U TIENU den niani O sawalipuaba n diani O diani yi n gagidi ki ŋani niinni.

which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

3 O laabaaliŋamo maadi o Bijua maama, wan mali yua Dafidi puoliŋuanu nni yi gbanandi po.

concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,

4 Li doagidi leni U TIENU fuoma yua paaciamu po ke o tie U TIENU Bijua kelima o fiima bi tinkpiba siiga yaa po: wani n tie ti Diedo JESU Kilisiti.

who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,

5 Kelima o ya kani yo ti baa li ŋanbili paabu ki tua o tondiba, ki ba cuani o yeli po ti jigidi lio dandanli nni i nibuoli kuli siiga

through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith amongst all the nations for his name’s sake;

6 yi moko tie laa niba siiga yaaba, yinba JESU Kilisiti n yini yaaba.

amongst whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

7 N diani yi po yinba yaaba n ye Loma ki tie U TIENU buakaaba kuli, wani yini yinba yaaba ke yi gagidi O po. Ti BAA U TIENU leni o Diedo JESU Kilisiti n pa yi li ŋanbili leni mi yanduanma.

to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8 N da kpa tuond U TIENU yi kuli po JESU Kilisiti ya yeli nni, kelima bi maadi yi dandanli maama ŋanduna nni kuli.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

9 U TIENU, min tuuni yua po leni payenli, ki wangi O bijua yaa laabaaliŋamo, tie n siedo ke n taagi yikuli yela yogunu kuli.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

10 N miadi U TIENU n jaandi nni ki naa cedi, ke li ya tie O yanbuama, min baa u sanu moala ki cua yi kani

requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

11 kelima n bua ŋali boŋanla ki la yi, ki boagidi leni yi U TIENU fuoma n puni ya paabu, ke yin ya se ki pa.

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

12 Bi mo, n yaa cua yi kani ti kuli n baa li papaali kelima tin taani ki pia ya dandannli yaa po.

that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

13 N kpiiba mii bua ke lan ya boani yi, yogini yi n yaba n den jagi ki baa cua yi kani, ke min fidi ki baa bonluonkaala yi siiga nani min den baa nibuotoe siiga maama; ama ŋali moala bonla ba yen pigini n sanu ke mii fidi ki cua.

Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit amongst you also, even as amongst the rest of the Gentiles.

14 Li tie tiladi min gedi bi nunfandanba leni bi yanluodanba po, yaaba n pia mi banma leni yaaba n ki pia mi banma kuli po.

I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

15 Lani yaa po n bua ŋali boncianla ki ya wangi o laabaa; liŋamo yinba yaaba n ye Loma moko.

So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

16 Kelima mii jie i fe o laabaaliŋamo wangima po. Li tie U TIENU paalu yaaba n daani kuli ya tindima po, ki cili jufinba ki ŋoadi bi nilanba.

For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

17 U TIENU teginma doagidi ke o nisaalo tiegi kelima li dandanli yaa po, leni li dandanli bebe yaa po, nani lan diani maama: O niteginkoa baa ye kelima li dandanli po.

For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”

18 U TIENU pabienli doagidi tanpoli po, ki ba cuo yaaba n yie O ki tiendi yaala n ki tiegi kuli, bani yaaba n moandi ki ñii i moamoani leni mi biadima.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 Kelima o nilo n ba fidi ki bandi yaala kuli U NTIENU kani doagidi bi po, kelima U TIENU doagidi la bi po.

because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

20 U TIENU gagidiŋanma ban ki nua yaama leni u paaciamu yu n ki pia gbenma leni wan tie maama kuli doagidi ke bi nua la ŋali ŋanduna tagima yogunu, li ya tie ke ti kpiagidi O o tuona nni. (aïdios g126)

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. (aïdios g126)

21 Bi tie ban kan pa yaaba sugili, kelima ban bandi U TIENU, baa kpiagi O nani TIENU yeni, baa go tuondi O nani lan pundi maama, ama bi yaadi bi yankpaagifana nni. Bi yanpiima teni ke bi kua li biigili nni

Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

22 Baa ke bi kpiagidi bi yula ke bi tie yanfodanba, bi tua yanluodanba.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 bi lebidi U TIENU yua n kan kpe ya kpiagidi, ki kpiagidi a nannana, yaa n naani leni o nisaalo yua n ba kpe, leni ti bonyugiditi, ti yandi leni li bonbalinkaala.

and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.

24 Li tie lani yaa po ke U TIENU mo ŋa ba ke bi pala n bua ban ya tiendi ya bonjoagindi kuli diedi ba. Lani bi jigidi bi yula hali ki tiendi yaala n pia i fe bi gbanandi po

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured amongst themselves;

25 bani yaaba n lebidi ki ŋa U TIENU n tie maama moamoani ki ŋua mi faama. Bi kpiagidi U TIENU n den tagi yaala, ki ŋa wani O tagido oba, yua n pundi ki ya baadi ti pagidi ŋali ya yogunu kuli. AMINA! (aiōn g165)

who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)

26 Li tie lani yaa po ke U TIENU mo ha ba ke bi gbanandi fiima, yaama n tie ti cangidi ki teni ke baa jigini n paadi ba.

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

27 Bi jaba moko ŋa U TIENU n bili ke ban ya taagi leni bi puoba maama. bi gbanandi fiima co nani mi fantama yeni jatoaba po, ki teni ke bi cagini leni jatoaba. Lani wani bi baadi bani bi ba ya panpaani n dagidi bi yaadima po.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burnt in their lust towards one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

28 Nani ban den sua ke laa pundi ban bandi U TIENU yeni, U TIENU mo ŋa ba ke bi yantiana paadi ba, ke bi tiedi yaala n ki pundi

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 Yaala n kaa tiegi kuli gbie bi pala nni, yaala n bia, leni mi ŋaliŋabuama, mi biadima, li nunponli, mi kukpama, li koali, mi niama, bu nunfanbiadibu, leni ku tugitongu.

being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

30 Bi go tie bi ñoakpalidanba ki maadi bi lieba po yaala n bia leni U TIENU yiekaaba leni bi yusiedanba, leni bi japaadanba, leni yaaba n pagi bi yula. Bi go cili ya biadima n kaa den kpa ye, ki tie bi danyiekaaba moko.

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Baa pia yanfuoma, baa kuandi ban niani ya ñoanianu, baa pia nitoaba po padingili leni niñingbadima.

without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 Ba ke bi bani U TIENU mabilikaama yaama n tiegi ki yedi ke li pundi ke yaaba n tieni laa bonbiadila buolu n kpe. Ama bi tiendi la bani biba, ki go saagi yaaba n tiendi yeni po i moamoani.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practise them.
