Roma Yaaba 1

1 Mini Pɔli, Jesu Kiristu tuonsɔnlo, ke bi yini nni ke min tua ya tondo ke o gagdi ki baa wangi U Tienu laabaalŋamo,

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

2 U Tienu bo tuodi ki niani, ki cedi ke bi sawalpuaba diani a tilŋama dianŋami nni, ke li ba tua yeni,

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

3 Ke li nua o Bijua yua n mali, ki tie Dafiidi puolŋuanu, yaa tie ti gbannandi po.

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

4 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.

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 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.

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

6 Yinba yaaba ke Jesu Kiristu yini ne, i mo ye li nibuoli siiga nni.

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

7 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!

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 dá ba tieni U Tienu balga Jesu Kiristu yeli po yinba ya po, kelima ŋanduna kuli bani i dudugdi ń caa ki se naani.

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 ya po, ke li nua o Bijua laabaalŋamo, tie n kasiedi, ke n maadi i maama daali kuli kaa cedi.

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 n jaandi nni kaa cedi, ke li ya tie o yanbuama po, min baa u sanu yeni li pamanli ki cua yiani.

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 min la yi, ki bɔgdi yeni yi U Tienu Foŋanma paabu, yin fidi ki ya se taajala lie ke li paa.

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

12 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

15 Lanyapo, li tie n po buamɔnma i, ke min kpaandi ki waani yinba yaaba n ye Roma po, o laabaalŋamo.

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 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

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 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.

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 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.

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

19 Kelima lan buali ke ban ya bani U Tienu po yaali ki duagi ba bá waamu; U Tienu wani o bá n waani ba.

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

20 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)

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 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.

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 Bi tie ti japaadi ki maali ke bi tie yanfodanba i, ki na tie gaada.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 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.

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 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.

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 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)

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 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.

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, 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.

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 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.

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 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,

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

30 Bi tie dokpala, jonjondanba, yenyiekaaba, japaadanba, maciandanba, tuonbiididanba, danyiekaaba yeni yanluodanba.

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

31 Bi tie yanpiidanba, ŋanwaadanba, bi yama ki siadi bi nisaallielo po, baa pia niñingbadma mo.

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

32 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.

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.
