1PAULUJ ladun Iejuj Krijtuj men, me paeker, en wiala wanporon amen, me katoror on papa ronamau en Kot,Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, and set apart for the gospel of God—

2Me a kotin kopekidor japwilim a jaukop akan nan kijin likau jaraui kan.the gospel He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures,

3Duen japwilim a Ol me kijan kadaudok en Dawid ni tiak en puli uduk,regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh,

4O me kadede kidar, me a Japwilim en Kot a manaman, duen a kotin iajadar jan ren me melar akan ki Nen jaraui, Iejuj Krijtuj atail Kaun,and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

5Me kit ale janer mak o koa en wanporon, pwen padaki on men liki kan karoj ni mar a, pwe irail en pojon o peik,Through Him and on behalf of His name, we received grace and apostleship to call all those among the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith.

6Pwe komail pil kijan irail, me paaeker don Iejuj Krijtuj.And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

7Komail karoj kompoke pan Kot, me paeker me jaraui kan, me mimi Rom mak o popol jan ren Kot Jam atail o Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj en mi re omail!To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

8let kaieu, i kin kapina ai Kot ki Iejuj Krijtuj pweki komail karoj; pwe omail pojon me kalok jili lel penan jap karoj.First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being proclaimed all over the world.

9Pwe Kot, me i kin papa on ni nen i ni ai padapadaki wei ronamau en japwilim a Ol, me jaunkadede pai, me i kin tamataman kin komail anjau karoj, nidinid ni ai kapakap akan.God, whom I serve with my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you

10Nidinideki anjau karoj, ma I jota pan kak pwarala re omail, ma iduen kupur en Kot.in my prayers at all times, asking that now at last by God’s will I may succeed in coming to you.

11Pwe i inon ion udial komail, pwe i en katunole kin komail ekij pwaij nenin, pwe komail en tinainda.For I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you,

12Pwe i en kajarloleid re omail, pweki atail pojon ta ieu.that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

13Ari, ri ai ol akan, i jota men, me komail en jaja duen ai kileledier pan pak toto, en pwar won komail, ap jaik pijoki on, pwen diar ekij wan ai dodok re omail, dueta ren wei tei kan.I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14Pwe nai me pwaipwand on men Krik o men liki kan, o on me lolekon o me jo lolekon kan.I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish.

15Pwe duen a pan kak pai, i men pil padaki on komail men Rom ronamau.That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.

16Pwe i jota kin namenok ki ronamau, pwe i manaman en Kot, me kin kamaurela me pojon akan karoj, Juj oko maj, ap pil men Krik.I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

17Pwe i me kin kajanjaleda pun en Kot, me kin pwili jan pojon, pwen pojon duen a intinidier: Me pun o pan memaureki pojon;For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

18Pwe onion en Kot pan janjaleda jan nanlan on me doo jan Kot akan o me japun en aramaj akan, me kin kawela melel ni arail japun.The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

19Pwe duen me pwarada jan ren Kot me janjal on irail, pwe Kot me kotin kajanjale on irail,For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

20Pwe meakan me jo janjal duen i, iet akan, a manaman joutuk o pil duen a udan Kot jan ni anjaun jappa wiauier, kin janjal kida japwilim a dodok kan, pwe jolar pekid parail,For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

21Pweki irail ajadar Kot, a re jota wauneki i duen me kon on Kot pil jota majak tol a, a re aklemai on i, monion japun arail ap rotorotalar.For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.

22Irail akereki pein irail ap lamponlar.Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools,

23Irail kawukilar linan en Kot me jo kak mor pajan, on mom en aramaj me kin mor pajan o mom en manpir akai, o man aluki pa, o man korop akan.and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24I me Kot kotin mueide kila irail, en inon ion kajaminlar monion arail ni ar kajautela pein war arail nan pun arail,Therefore God gave them over in the desires of their hearts to impurity for the dishonoring of their bodies with one another.

25Me kawukila melel en Kot on likam, ap poni o papa on dipijou mon Jaun wia meakaroj, me iajanai potepoteta amen.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.

26Nan i me Kot mueidela kin ir on inon jued akan, en lel on arail li akan, en wuki jan ira ’rail, kaokaoe ira rail.For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones.

27Pil dueta ol akan liki jan iran li, ap kalel nan pun arail; ol ajada ol, me jo kon, ap pein kapokala nan war arail manidi en ar wiawia kan.Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28Nan duen irail kan kataman on Kot, Kot ap mueidalan irail, en kapitakaila kamom on wia meakan me jued,Furthermore, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, He gave them up to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

29Me dir en japun karoj, morjued, norok kapwa, jempok, dir en peirin, lolap, akamai, widin, weid, lidu monin,They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, and malice. They are gossips,

30Pil en pan moli, likinekine, kajenta Kot, kan kapunlol, aklapalap, ponmajo, me kin diar me jued akan, jo oke jam ar o in ar,slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent new forms of evil; they disobey their parents.

31Lampon, inaujopoujok, jempok, jomak.They are senseless, faithless, heartless, merciless.

32Re aja duen kapun pun en Kot, me kin wia mepukat, pan mau on mela, a kaidin i eta, pwe re pil kin perenki irail, me kin wia mepukat.Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things are worthy of death, they not only continue to do these things, but also approve of those who practice them.
