1Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
1Ko au Paula ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, kuo fili ko e ʻaposetolo, mo vaheʻi ki he ongoongolelei ʻae ʻOtua,
2Which he had promised before, by his prophets, in the holy scriptures,
2(ʻAia naʻa ne fakaʻilo ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻene kau palōfita ʻi he ngaahi tohi māʻoniʻoni,)
3Concerning his Son, who was made to him of the seed of David, according to the flesh,
3ʻOku kau ki hono ʻAlo ko Sisu Kalaisi ko hotau ʻEiki, ʻaia naʻe fakatupu hono sino ʻi he hako ʻo Tevita;
4Who was predestinated the Son of God in power, according to the spirit of sanctification, by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead;
4Pea fakahā fakapapau ʻaki ʻae mālohi, ʻi he toetuʻu mei he mate, ko e ʻAlo ia ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo fakatatau ki he laumālie ʻoe māʻoniʻoni:
5By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name;
5ʻAia kuo mau maʻu ai ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e ngāue fakaʻaposetolo, ke ai ha talangofua ki he tui ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, koeʻuhi ko hono huafa:
6Among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ:
6Pea ʻoku mou ʻiate kinautolu foki ko e fili ʻe Sisu Kalaisi:
7To all that are at Rome, the beloved of God, called to be saints. Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
7Kiate kimoutolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi Loma, ʻoku ʻofeina ʻe he ʻOtua, kuo ui ke māʻoniʻoni: ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa mo e monūʻia mei he ʻOtua ko ʻetau Tamai, pea mo e ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi.
8First I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is spoken of in the whole world.
8ʻOku ou fuofua fakafetaʻi ki hoku ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu kotoa pē, he ʻoku ongoongoa hoʻomou tui ʻi māmani kotoa pē.
9For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you;
9He ko e ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ou tauhi ʻaki hoku laumālie ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo hono ʻAlo, ko hoku fakamoʻoni ia, ʻoku ou fakamanatuʻi maʻuaipē ʻakimoutolu ʻi heʻeku ngaahi lotu;
10Always in my prayers making request, if by any means now at length I may have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto you.
10ʻO kole taʻetuku, ʻo kapau ʻe mafai, ke u lavaʻi eni ha fononga lelei kiate kimoutolu ʻi he finangalo ʻoe ʻOtua.
11For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you:
11He ʻoku ou holi lahi ke mamata kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻatu kiate kimoutolu ha foaki fakalaumālie, ko e meʻa ke fakatuʻumaʻu aipē ʻakimoutolu;
12That is to say, that I may be comforted together in you, by that which is common to us both, your faith and mine.
12Koeʻuhi ke tau fiemālie fakataha mo kimoutolu, ʻi he tui pe taha ʻamoutolu mo au.
13And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I have often purposed to come unto you, (and have been hindered hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
13Pea ko eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻoku ʻikai te u loto ke mou taʻeʻilo, naʻe liunga lahi ʻeku tokanga ke u ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu, koeʻuhi ke u maʻu ha fua ʻiate kimoutolu foki, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi Senitaile kehekehe, ka kuo taʻofia au.
14To the Greeks and to the barbarians, to the wise and to the unwise, I am a debtor;
14Ko e tuku totongi au ki he kakai Kiliki, mo e kakai muli; ki he poto, mo e taʻepoto.
15So (as much as is in me) I am ready to preach the gospel to you also that are at Rome.
15Ko ia ʻoku ou loto ke u malangaʻaki ʻae ongoongolelei kiate kimoutolu ʻoku ʻi Loma foki, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku faʻa fai.
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 to the Greek.
16He ʻoku ʻikai te u mā ʻi he ongoongolelei ʻo Kalaisi: he ko e mālohi ia ʻoe ʻOtua ki he fakamoʻui kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku tui; ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Kiliki foki.
17For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith.
17He ʻoku fakamatala ai ʻae fakatonuhiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he tui ki he tui; ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, “Ko e tonuhia ʻe moʻui ʻi he tui.”
18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice:
18He ʻoku fakahā mei he langi ʻae houhau ʻoe ʻOtua ki he taʻelotu mo e taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē ʻoe kakai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku taʻofi ki he moʻoni ʻi he taʻemāʻoniʻoni;
19Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them.
19Koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ʻilongofua ʻi he ʻOtua kuo hā ia ʻiate kinautolu; he kuo fakahā ia ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu;
20For the invisible things of him, from the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made; his eternal power also, and divinity: so that they are inexcusable.
20He ko e ngaahi meʻa taʻehāmai ʻaʻana, ʻaia ko ʻene māfimafi taʻengata mo hono ʻOtua, kuo ʻilongofua ia ʻi hono ngaohi ʻo māmani, ʻoku ʻiloʻi ia mei he ngaahi meʻa kuo ngaohi; ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai hanau haoʻanga:
21Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened.
21Koeʻuhi ʻi heʻenau ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai te nau fakaʻapaʻapa pe fakafetaʻi, ke taau mo e ʻOtua; ka naʻe hoko ʻo vale ʻenau ngaahi mahalo, pea fakapoʻuli mo honau loto vale.
22For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
22Pea ʻi heʻenau pole ko e poto ʻakinautolu, naʻa nau liliu ai ko e vale,
23And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
23ʻO nau fetongi ʻae nāunau ʻoe ʻOtua taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha ʻaki ʻae fakatātā kuo ngaohi ke tatau pe mo e tangata ʻoku faʻa ʻauʻauha, mo e fanga manupuna, mo e fanga manu veʻe fā, mo e ngaahi meʻa totolo.
24Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves.
24Ko ia naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻakinautolu ki he fakalielia ʻi he ngaahi holi kovi ʻa honau loto, ke fefakalieliaʻi honau sino ʻiate kinautolu:
25Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
25Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fetongi ʻae ʻOtua moʻoni ʻaki ʻae loi, pea naʻe lahi hake ʻenau hū mo tauhi ki he meʻa kuo ngaohi, kae siʻaki ʻae Tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku monūʻia ʻo taʻengata, ʻEmeni.
26For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature.
26Ko ia naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ai ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he ngaahi holi kovi: he naʻa mo ʻenau kau fefine, naʻa nau liaki ʻaia ʻoku totonu, kae fai ʻaia ʻoku taʻetaau mo ʻetau anga:
27And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
27Pea pehē foki ʻe he kau tangata, ʻenau siʻaki ʻae kau fefine, ʻonau vela ʻi heʻenau feholi kovi ʻaki ʻiate kinautolu; ʻo fefaiʻaki ʻe he kau tangata ʻaia ʻoku taʻengali, pea naʻa nau maʻu kiate kinautolu ʻae totongi totonu ʻo ʻenau fai hala ko ia.
28And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient;
28Pea ʻi he ʻikai te nau loto ke ke ʻiloʻi ʻae ʻOtua, naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ki he loto kovi, ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ngali;
29Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers,
29Kuo fakafonu ʻaki ʻae taʻemāʻoniʻoni kotoa pē, mo e feʻauaki, mo e angakovi, mo e manumanu, mo e fakafasifasi; ʻo fonu ʻi he meheka, mo e fakapō, mo e feʻiteʻitani, mo e kākā, mo e fasituʻu;
30Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
30Ko e kau fefanafanahi kovi, mo e kau fakakovi, mo e kau fehiʻa ki he ʻOtua, mo e fakamālohi, mo e laukau, mo e kau polepole, mo e kau fakatupu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa kovi, mo e talangataʻa ki he mātuʻa:
31Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
31Ko e taʻepoto, ko e kau maumau fuakava, mo taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻofa fakafeʻofoʻofani; ko e angafakamolokau, mo e taʻemanavaʻofa:
32Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
32ʻAkinautolu ʻoku nau ʻilo ʻae tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ʻOtua, kuo totonu ke mate ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻi heʻenau fai pehē pe, ka ʻoku nau kau mālie foki mo kinautolu ʻoku fai ia.
