1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
1 Man Pool, jaamub Kirist Yeesu, maa leen di bind bataaxal bii. Yàlla woo na ma, ma nekk ndawam, sas ma liggéeyu xamle xebaaram bu baax bi.
2which he promised afore through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
2 Xebaar bu baax boobu, Yàlla dige woon na ko bu yàgg, jaarale ko ciy yonentam, ñu def ko ci Mbind mu sell mi,
3concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,
3 di xamle mbirum Doomam, Yeesu Kirist sunu Boroom. Lu jëm ci meloom ci àddina, ci askanu Daawuda la jóge, waaye lu jëm ci xelam mu sell, Doomu Yàlla la; ndaxte ndekkiteem nekk na firnde ju ràññiku, ne moom la.
4who was declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead; [even] Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 Te moom Kirist tàbbal na nu ci yiwu Yàlla, def nu ay ndawam, yónni nu ci biir xeeti àddina sépp, ngir ñu gëm ko te jébbalu, ba màggal turam.
5through whom we received grace and apostleship, unto obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 Te ci ngeen bokk, yéen ñi Yàlla woo, ngeen nekk ci Kirist.
6among whom are ye also called [to be] Jesus Christ's:
7 Yéen ñi dëkk Room ñépp, yéen ñi Yàlla bëgg te woo leen, ngeen nekk gaayam yu sell, na leen Yàlla sunu Baay ak Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist may yiw ak jàmm.
7To all that 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 Kon nag li may jëkk a wax mooy lii: sant naa Yàlla sama Boroom, jaarale ko ci Yeesu Kirist, ngir yéen ñépp, ndaxte seen ngëm siiw na ci àddina sépp.
8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 Bët bu set maa ngi leen di boole ci samay ñaan. Yàlla seede na li may wax, Yàlla mi may jaamu ci sama xel, ci xamle xebaar bu baax bu Doomam.
9For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
10 Te li ma koy faral di ñaan mooy lii: bu soobee Yàlla, na ma ubbil bunt, ba ma man a ñëw ci yéen.
10making request, if by any means now at length I may be prospered by the will of God to come unto you.
11 Ndaxte bëgg naa leen a gis lool, ba indil leen barke bu jóge ci Xel mu Sell mi, ndax seen ngëm gën a dëgër.
11For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
12 Maanaam ma nekk ci seen biir, te nu dimbaleente ci sunu ngëm, ndax man itam ma gën a am doole.
12that is, that I with you may be comforted in you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.
13 Bokk yi, damaa bëgg ngeen xam ne, xalaat naa leen a seetsi ay yooni yoon, ngir meññ njariñ ci yéen, ni ma ko defe ci yeneen xeet yi, waaye ay téq-téq ñoo ma téye ba léegi.
13And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Am naa warugar sama diggante ak ñépp, muy ñi jàng ni Gereg yi, muy ñi jàngul ni Baarbaar yi, ñi bare xam-xam ak ñi barewul xam-xam.
14I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Li aju ci man nag, jekk naa ngir ñëw, xamal leen xebaar bu baax bi, yéen it waa Room.
15So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are in Rome.
16 Ndaxte awma benn werante ci xebaar bu baax bi may waare, ndax mbirum Yàlla la, mu làmboo dooleem, ngir musal képp ku ko gëm, muy Yawut ci bu jëkk mbaa ki dul Yawut.
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 Ndaxte xebaar bii day wone, ni nit man a jube ci kanam Yàlla, sukkandikoo ci ngëm rekk, tàmbali ci ngëm, yem ci ngëm. Moo tax Mbind mi wax ne: «Ku jub ci kaw ngëm, dinga dund.»
17For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live by faith.
18 Merum Yàllaa ngi feeñe asamaan, wàcc ci nit ñi, ndax seen weddi Yàlla gépp ak seen jubadi gépp, ñoom ñi suul dëgg, di topp lu jubadi.
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Ndax li nit man a xam ci Yàlla, leer na ci seen xel, ndax Yàlla won na leen ko.
19because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them.
20 Ndaxte ba àddina sosoo ba tey, mbiri Yàlla yu nëbbu ya, maanaam dooleem ju sax ja, ak meloom wu kawe wa, feeñ nañu bu leer, te bir ñépp ci yi mu sàkk, ba tax bunti lay yépp tëj nañu.
20For 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:
21 Ndaxte bi ñu xamee Yàlla, taxul ñu màggal ko ni mu ware, mbaa ñu sant ko. Waaye ñu daldi réer ci seen biiri xalaat yu mujjul fenn, ba tax seen xol gumba, ba lëndëm këruus.
21because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.
22 Ñu teg seen bopp ni boroomi xel, fekk ñu ñàkk xel lañu woon.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 Toxal nañu ndamu Yàlla Aji Sax ji, wuutal fa nataali nit ku dul sax, moom ak ay picc, ay rabi àll mbaa yuy raam.
23and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Moo tax Yàlla bërgël na leen ci seeni bëgg-bëgg, ñu sóobu ciy ñaawteef, di jëfleente lu gàccelu ci seeni cér.
24Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves:
25 Toxal nañu dëggu Yàlla, tëral fen, di màggal ak a jaamu mbindeef, ba faaleetuñu sax Aji Bind, ji yelloo cant ba fàww. Amiin.
25for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 Loolu moo tax nag Yàlla bërgël na leen ci seeni bëgg-bëgg yu ruslu. Seeni jigéen sax dëddu nañu li jekk, sóobu ci lu jekkadi, ñoom ak seeni moroom.
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 Noonu it góor ñi bàyyi nañu li jekk ci seeni cér, maanaam ànd ak jigéen, bay am ay bëgg-bëgg yu tar ci ànd ak seeni moroom. Góor di defante ak góor li warul, ñu di jot seen peyu réer ci seeni yaram.
27and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.
28 Gannaaw xam Yàlla soxalu leen, Yàlla it bërgël na leen ci seen xel mu bon moomu, ñu sax ci jëf yu jekkadi.
28And even as they refused to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 Seen xol fees na ak lu jubadi, lu bon, bëgge ak coxor; duñu xalaat lu dul kiñaan, rey nit, xuloo, njublaŋ ak ñaaw njort; dañuy jëw,
29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 di yàq der, di ñu bañ Yàlla te ñàkk sutura, di réy-réylu ak a kañu; ay jàmbaar lañu ci fexe lu bon, di bañ seeni waajur.
30backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Amuñu xel, amuñu kóllëre, amuñu cofeel, amuñu yërmande.
31without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful:
32 Xam nañu ne, ñiy jëfe loolu, Yàlla daganal na seen dee, waaye teewul ñu di ko def, boole ko ak di farle ñi ci sax.
32who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practise such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practise them.
