Ndị Rom 1
1 Pọl, odibo Kraịst Jisọs, onye Chineke kpọrọ ka ọ bụrụ onyeozi ya na onye o kewapụtara ka o zisaa oziọma ya.
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
2 Oziọma a bụ nke ahụ Chineke kwere na nkwa nʼoge gara aga site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya nke e dere ihe banyere ya nʼakwụkwọ nsọ.
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 Oziọma a metụtara Ọkpara ya, onye bụ nwa Devid site nʼọmụmụ nke anụ ahụ.
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 Onye esitere na Mmụọ nke ịdị nsọ họpụta ị bụ Ọkpara Chineke, site nʼike nke mbilite nʼọnwụ, bụ Kraịst Jisọs, Onyenwe anyị.
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 Onye anyị sitere nʼaka ya nata amara na ọrụ ị bụ onyeozi, ime ka ndị mba ọzọ nwee nrube isi nke okwukwe nʼetiti ha nʼihi aha ya.
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 Tinyere unu onwe unu ndị ahụ a kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nke Jisọs Kraịst.
among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
7 Ya bụ, unu ndị Chineke hụrụ nʼanya bi na Rom, ndị ọ kpọrọ ka ha bụrụ ndị nsọ: Ka amara na udo nke sitere na Chineke Nna anyị, na Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst dịrị unu.
to all who are in Rome, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Na mbụ, ana m ekele Chineke ekele nʼihi unu niile, site nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst. Nʼihi na a na-ekwusa ihe banyere okwukwe unu nʼụwa niile.
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 Chineke, onye m na-ejere ozi, nʼime mmụọ site na ikwusa oziọma nke Ọkpara ya, bụ onye akaebe na m na-echeta unu mgbe niile nʼekpere m.
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how I constantly mention you
10 Nʼekpere m oge niile, a na m arịọ ka ọ bụrụ ihe ga-ekwe mee na site nʼike Chineke, aga m enwe ohere ịbịa leta unu.
always in my prayers, requesting, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God to come to you.
11 Ọ na-agụ m agụụ nke ukwuu ịbịa hụ unu anya, nʼihi na achọrọ m ka unu keta oke nʼonyinye Mmụọ Nsọ nke Chineke nyere m, nke ga-enyere unu aka iguzosi ike nʼokwukwe.
For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
12 Ọ bụkwaghị naanị nke a, kama achọrọ m ka anyị gbarịtaa onwe anyị ume site nʼokwukwe anyị.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ime ka unu mata na atụọla m atụmatụ ịbịa leta unu ọtụtụ mgbe (ma tutu ruo ugbu a e gbochiri m ịbịa), ka m nwee ike nweta mkpụrụ nʼetiti unu, dịka m nwere nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
Now I do not 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 among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
14 Nʼihi na abụ m onye ji ụgwọ nye ndị Griik na ndị mba ọzọ, nyekwa ndị maara ihe na ndị nzuzu.
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Ya mere m ji dị njikere ikwusa oziọma nyekwa unu bụ ndị bi na Rom.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 Nʼihi na ihere oziọma ahụ anaghị eme m, nʼihi na ọ bụ ike Chineke na-ewetara onye ọbụla kwere na ya nzọpụta, nye onye Juu na mbụ nakwa nye onye Griik.
For I am not ashamed of the Good News, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
17 Nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼoziọma ka e kpughere ezi omume Chineke, ezi omume nke na-esite nʼokwukwe ruo okwukwe. Dịka e siri dee ya, “Onye ezi omume ga-esite nʼokwukwe dị ndụ.”
For in it is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18 Nʼihi na e sitela nʼeluigwe kpughe ọnụma Chineke megide mmehie na ajọ omume niile nke ndị na-emebi iwu, ndị na-esite nʼajọ omume ha na-eguzogide eziokwu ahụ.
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness,
19 Nʼihi na ndị a maara ihe ha kwesiri ịmata banyere Chineke. Ha maara ya nʼihi na Chineke nʼonwe ya emeela ka o doo ha anya.
because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
20 Nʼihi na site nʼoge Chineke kere ụwa na ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ụdịdị ya nke a na-apụghị ịhụ anya na ike nke ebighị ebi ya na ụdịdị ịdị nsọ ya ka e mere ka ọ pụta ìhè nye ụmụ mmadụ. Ụmụ mmadụ na-aghọta ihe ndị a site nʼihe ndị e kere eke. Nʼihi nke a ụmụ mmadụ enwekwaghị ngọpụ. (aïdios g126)
For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Ọ bụ eziokwu na ha maara Chineke, ma ha anaghị asọpụrụ ya, ha anakwaghị enye ya ekele dịka Chineke. Echiche uche ha bụ ihe efu, nzuzu ha mere ka obi ha gbaa ọchịchịrị.
Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Mgbe ha na-eche na ha bụ ndị maara ihe, ha amataghị na ha bụ ndị nzuzu.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
23 Kama ife Chineke na-adịghị anwụ anwụ ofufe, ha weere otuto ha kwesiri inye ya nye ihe ndị ahụ ha jiri aka ha kpụọ. Ihe ndị a yiri mmadụ na-anwụ anwụ, na nnụnụ, na ụmụ anụmanụ, na ihe na-akpụ akpụ nʼala.
and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
24 Nʼihi ya, Chineke hapụrụ ha ka ha mee ihe ọjọọ ndị ahụ na-agụ obi ha agụụ nye adịghị ọcha nke ịkwa iko, ha jikwa ahụ ha emerịta mpu nʼetiti onwe ha.
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their bodies among themselves,
25 Ha were okwu ụgha dochie nʼọnọdụ eziokwu banyere Chineke. Ha na-asọpụrụ, na-efekwa ihe e kere eke, ma hapụ Onye okike, onye a na-eto ruo ebighị ebi. Amen. (aiōn g165)
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Ọ bụ nke a mere Chineke jiri nyefee ha nʼaka agụụ anụ ahụ nke na-eme ihere. Nʼihi ya, ọ bụladị ndị inyom na ndị inyom ibe ha nọgidere na-enwe mmekọrịta nʼụzọ na-ezighị ezi.
For this reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which is contrary to nature.
27 Ọzọkwa, kama ha na ndị inyom inwe mmekọrịta; ndị ikom ha họọrọ ka ha na ndị ikom ibe ha na-enwe ụdị mmekọrịta nke ha na ndị inyom kwesiri inwe. Nwoke na-edinakwuru nwoke ibe ya. Nʼụzọ dị otu a, ha natakwara ntaramahụhụ kwesiri ha nʼihi ihe ọjọọ ndị a ha na-eme.
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 Ya mere, ebe ha kpachapụrụ anya jụ ịmata onye Chineke bụ, Chineke nyere ha akọnuche ndị nzuzu, nke mere ka ha na-eme ihe ọjọọ niile nke ajọ echiche obi ha chepụtara.
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
29 Ha jupụtara nʼajọ omume na mmehie niile, anya ukwu na aghụghọ. Ha jupụtakwara nʼekworo, na igbu mmadụ, na esemokwu, na uche gbagọrọ agbagọ na ịkpọ asị. Ha bụ ndị na-ekwu okwu azụ,
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 na ndị nkwutọ na ndị kpọrọ Chineke asị, na ndị na-akparị mmadụ na ndị mpako na ndị na-anya isi. Ha na-atụpụta ụzọ ọhụrụ ime ihe ọjọọ, ha adịghị asọpụrụ ndị mụrụ ha.
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Ha bụkwa ndị na-enweghị nghọta, ndị na-enweghị okwukwe, ndị obi ọjọọ na ndị na-enweghị obi ebere.
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 Ha maa na Chineke nyere iwu dị ike na ndị na-ebi ndụ dị otu a kwesiri ọnwụ, ma ha gara nʼihu na-eme ihe ndị a, ma na-akwalịkwa mmụọ ndị ọzọ ka ha soro na-eme ha.
who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
