¹Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,

¹Nekk Bulus, yellan d aqeddac n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, țwaxtaṛeɣ ad iliɣ d ṛṛasul, iwakken ad beccṛeɣ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ n Sidi Ṛebbi.

²which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,

²Lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ i d-yewɛed Sidi Ṛebbi si zik s yimi n lenbiya di tira iqedsen,

³concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh,

³d ayen yeɛnan Mmi-s, Ɛisa Lmasiḥ Ssid-nneɣ i d-ilulen d amdan seg wedrum n Dawed,

⁴who 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,

⁴yețțusemma d Mmi-s n Ṛebbi s tezmert n Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen, s ḥeggu-ines si ger lmegtin.

⁵through whom we received grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name’s sake;

⁵Yis i ɣ-ixdem Sidi Ṛebbi lemziya a nili d imceggɛen, iwakken a d-nawi s yisem-is imdanen n leǧnas meṛṛa ad amnen yis yerna ad aɣen awal-is.

⁶among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;

⁶Yessawel-awen-d ula i kunwi yellan ger leǧnas-agi, iwakken aț-țilim d ayla n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

⁷to 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.

⁷I wid akk yellan di temdint n Ṛuma, i gḥemmel Sidi Ṛebbi, iwumi i d-yessawel ad ilin d ayla-s : ṛṛeḥma ț-țalwit a wen-d-țțunefkent s ɣuṛ Sidi Ṛebbi baba-tneɣ akk-d Ssid-nneɣ Ɛisa Lmasiḥ.

⁸First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.

⁸Di tazwara, ad ḥemdeɣ Sidi Ṛebbi fell-awen meṛṛa s yisem n Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, axaṭer yeffeɣ lexbaṛ di ddunit meṛṛa belli tumnem s Lmasiḥ.

⁹For 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,

⁹Sidi Ṛebbi i ɛebbdeɣ seg ul-iw, i ɣef qeddceɣ imi țbecciṛeɣ lexbaṛ n lxiṛ yeɛnan Mmi-s, yeẓra belli țțadreɣ-kkun-id dima m'ara deɛɛuɣ ɣuṛ-es.

¹⁰requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.

¹⁰Ssutureɣ mkul ass i Sidi Ṛebbi iwakken ma yebɣa, ad afeɣ abrid amek ara n-aseɣ ɣuṛ-wen.

¹¹For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;

¹¹Acḥal i bɣiɣ a kkun-ẓreɣ, akken a kkun-slemdeɣ ɣef kra n tukciwin i d-ițțak Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen iwakken aț țǧehdem ;

¹²that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.

¹²yerna m'ara n-awḍeɣ ɣuṛ-wen, a nemseǧhad wway gar aneɣ ; kunwi s liman-nwen, nekk s liman-inu, imi yiwen n liman i ɣ-isdukklen.

¹³Now 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 among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

¹³Ay atmaten, bɣiɣ aț-țeẓrem belli acḥal n tikkal i ɛerḍeɣ a n-aseɣ ɣuṛ-wen, iwakken lxedma inu a wen-d-teglu s kra n lfayda, am akken i d-tewwi lfayda i leǧnas nniḍen ; meɛna ar tura mazal țmagareɣ-ed uguren.

¹⁴I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.

¹⁴Ilaq-iyi ad ṛuḥeɣ ɣer yemdanen n ddunit meṛṛa, ɣer leǧnas itqeddmen akk-d wid ur netqeddem ara, ɣer wid yeɣṛan d wid ur neɣṛi ara.

¹⁵So, as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.

¹⁵Daymi i bɣiɣ ad beccṛeɣ daɣen lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ, i kunwi yellan di temdint n Ṛuma.

¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.

¹⁶Ur ssetḥaɣ ara s lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ, axaṭer ț-țazmert n Sidi Ṛebbi i leslak n kra win yumnen yis ; di tazwara i wat Isṛail, a d-ḍefṛen leǧnas nniḍen.

¹⁷For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

¹⁷Lexbaṛ-agi n lxiṛ ibeggen-ed amek i gețțarra Sidi Ṛebbi imdanen d iḥeqqiyen s liman, axaṭer s liman kan i nezmer a nuɣal d iḥeqqiyen si tazwara alamma ț-țaggara. Akken yura di tira iqedsen : Aḥeqqi ad yidir s liman.

¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

¹⁸Sidi Ṛebbi ițbeggin-ed urrif-is seg igenni ɣef ddnub d cceṛ n yemdanen i gețɣummun lḥeqq s lbaṭel ;

¹⁹because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.

¹⁹axaṭer ayen akk i glaqen a t-issinen ɣef Sidi Ṛebbi, ẓran-t ; d Ṛebbi s yiman-is i sen-t-id isbeggnen.

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.

²⁰Seg wasmi i d-yexleq ddunit, ayen akk yeffren ɣef wallen, nețwali-t di lecɣal-is ; nezmer a neɛqel belli d nețța kan i d Ṛebbi yesɛan tazmert ur nfennu ; daymi wigi ulac fell-asen ssmaḥ.

²¹Because, knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.

²¹?as akken ẓran yella Ṛebbi, ur setɛeṛfen ara yis ; ur t-ḥmiden, ur t-ckiṛen, lameɛna țkemmilen deg yir ixemmimen-nsen armi iɣumm ṭṭlam ulawen-nsen.

²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

²²?țaran iman-nsen d lɛuqal armi uɣalen d imejhal.

²³and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things.

²³Beddlen lɛaḍima n Sidi Ṛebbi yeddren s lmeṣnuɛat yesɛan ṣṣifa n wemdan ifennun, ṣṣifa n leḍyuṛ, n lewḥuc yesɛan ṛebɛa iḍaṛṛen, d wayen akk ileḥḥun ɣef wuɛebbuḍ ;

²⁴Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves,

²⁴daymi i ten-yeǧǧa Sidi Ṛebbi tebɛen lebɣi n wulawen-nsen, xeddmen ticmatin, ṣṣawḍen armi kksen lḥeṛma ɣef yiman-nsen.

²⁵who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

²⁵Beddlen tideț n Sidi Ṛebbi s lekdeb, ɛebbden ayen yețwaxelqen, ǧǧan win i d-ixelqen kullec, nețța i gețțubarken i dayem ; Amin !

²⁶For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

²⁶?-țagi i d sebba i ɣef ten-yeǧǧa Sidi Ṛebbi di lɛaṛ n ccehwat-nsen ; tilawin țbeddilent irgazen s tilawin.

²⁷Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.

²⁷Ula d irgazen țțaǧan tilawin, ițenkkar uḥaṛuq wway gar-asen, țemyexdamen lɛaṛ ; d wagi i d lexlaṣ i yuklalen ɣef tidderɣelt-nsen.

²⁸Even 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;

²⁸Imi ugin ad issinen Ṛebbi, Sidi Ṛebbi yeǧǧa-ten di lɛeqliya-nsen iɛewjen iwakken ad xedmen ayen ur nlaq ara.

²⁹being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

²⁹?čuṛen d lbaṭel akk-d wayen n diri : d ṭṭmeɛ, d cceṛ, ț-țismin ; d at tmegṛaḍ, d at ccwal, d at tḥila, d at tiḥeṛci, d iqeṛṛaḍen.

³⁰backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³⁰Wa yekkat deg wa, d iɛdawen n Ṛebbi, ur țneḥcamen ara, d imzuxiyen, d ikeddaben ; snulfuyen-d cceṛ, țɛaṣin lwaldin-nsen.

³¹without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

³¹Ur sɛin lefhama, ur sɛin laman, ulac deg wulawen-nsen ṛṛeḥma neɣ leḥnana.

³²who, 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.

³²?as akken ẓran lḥisab n Sidi Ṛebbi yețṛaǧu wid ixeddmen annect-agi yerna uklalen lmut, țkemmilen di tikli-nsen yerna feṛḥen s wid ixeddmen am nutni.
