To the Romans
1 Da me Paul, slave for Jesus Christ writing this letter to yor. He choose me to be apostle and to preach about God good news. 2 Da this good news God promise way back through his prophet dem in the holy Scriptures. 3 It talking about his Son who wor born on earth and who wor from David family line. 4 But God use the power from His holy spirit to bring him back to life, and this one show da he God Son. He our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 God use Jesus to show us his special kindness. Jesus choose me* to be apostle so da people in all the nation dem can show faith and obey him to honor his name. 6 God also na call yor from among the nation dem to follow Jesus Christ. 7 I write this letter to all the people in Rome who God love, and who he na call to be his holy people:
I pray da God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, give yor his special kindness and help yor to get peace.
8 First of all, I want tell my God thank you in Jesus Christ name for your faith because people all over the world talking about your faith. 9 I serving God with my whole heart by preaching the good news about his Son. But God self know da I never stop praying to him for yor. 10 I pray da if it possible and if da what God want I can be able to come to yor. 11 I really want see yor, so I can give yor some gift from God for your faith to be more strong. 12 Or so da all of us can be encourage by each other faith.
13 My brother dem, I want yor to know da plenty time I wanted to come to yor so I can teach the people who there to be disciples, just how I na do it in all the other nation dem. But anytime I try, something can stop me from coming. 14 I get work to do for everybody. For the Greek people, for people who come from different country, for people who get sense, and for people who not get sense. 15 I really want preach the good news also to yor da in Rome. 16 I not shame to preach the good news. In fact, da the powerful way God using to save everybody da get faith. He use it first to save the Jews and also the Greek people. 17 The people dem who get faith na see da God can use the good news to show da he can do the right thing. And it made them to get more faith just how the Scripture say it: “But the person who can do the right thing will live because he get faith.”
18 God in heaven showing da he vex with people who not obeying him and people who can’t do the right thing. They doing this wicked-wicked thing dem to stop other people from knowing the truth. 19 They suppose to know God because he already na show them plenty things about hisself. 20 Even though we can’t see God, but from the time he made the world up to now, it wor possible for human being to know da he get power da continue forever and da he God. And da because they can see his good-good way dem from the things he made. Because of da, they not get any excuse. 21 Even though they knew God, they not honor him as their God and they not tell him thank you. But they na turn foolish in the way they can think, and they can’t understand anything. 22 Even though they say they get sense, but they still foolish. 23 They not honor God who can’t die, but they give his honor to thing dem da looking like human being who can die. They also give honor to thing dem da looking like birds, animal dem da get four-foot and animal dem da can crawl on the ground.
24 So because they wanted to do their own thing, God allow them to do thing dem da not clean and thing dem da made them shame. 25 They decide to believe the lie instead of the truth about God. They can worship and serve the thing dem God made. But they can’t worship the God who made this thing dem, the Person who get the praise forever. Amen. 26 Da the reason why God allow them to get strong feeling to do man and woman business da shameful. The women dem not do man and woman business the way God made them to do it. 27 Da the same way the men dem not do man and woman business with the women dem. But they get strong feeling to do man and woman business with their friend men dem. They can do dirty-dirty thing dem and they will get the punishment they suppose to get for the bad-bad thing dem they can do.
28 They say, it wor not important to know God,* so God allow them to think on so-so bad-bad thing dem, and He allow them to do thing dem da they not suppose to do. 29 They use to do all kindna thing dem da wor not correct. They wor wicked, they wanted everything for theirself, they wor bad, they wor jealous bad way, they use to kill, they use to like fighting business, lying, keeping grudge in their hearts for other people, and gossiping. 30 They use to talk bad behind people back, they use to hate God, they wor rude, they wor proud, they use to like boasting, they use to plan to do bad thing to other people, they never use to obey their ma and pa. 31 They can’t understand anything, they can’t go by the thing dem they agree on, they not get human feeling and they not get any sorrowful heart. 32 Even though they know da God say people who doing this kindna bad-bad thing dem will die, they still continue doing bad things. And they can even support other people who doing this kindna bad thing dem.
