1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
Namkabidhi kwenu Fibi, ndugu yetu, aliye mhudumu wa kanisa lililoko Kenkrea;
2 that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
kwamba mmpokee katika Bwana, kama iwapasavyo watakatifu; mkamsaidie katika neno lo lote atakalohitaji kwenu; kwa sababu yeye naye amekuwa msaidizi wa watu wengi, akanisaidia mimi pia.
3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Nisalimieni Priska na Akila, watenda kazi pamoja nami katika Kristo Yesu;
4 who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
waliokuwa tayari hata kukatwa kichwa kwa ajili ya maisha yangu; ambao ninawashukuru, wala si mimi tu, ila na makanisa ya Mataifa yote pia; nisalimieni na kanisa lililomo katika nyumba yao.
5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epænetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.

17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Ndugu zangu, nawasihi, waangalieni wale wafanyao fitina na mambo ya kukwaza kinyume cha mafundisho mliyojifunza; mkajiepushe nao.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Kwa sababu walio hivyo hawamtumikii Bwana wetu Kristo, bali matumbo yao wenyewe; na kwa maneno laini na ya kujipendekeza waidanganya mioyo ya watu wanyofu.
19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men . I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Maana utii wenu umewafikilia watu wote; basi nafurahi kwa ajili yenu, lakini nataka ninyi kuwa wenye hekima katika mambo mema, na wajinga katika mambo mabaya.
20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Naye Mungu wa amani atamseta Shetani chini ya miguu yenu upesi. Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na iwe pamoja nanyi. [Amina.]
21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.

24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Neema ya Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo na iwe pamoja nanyi nyote. Amina.]
25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Sasa na atukuzwe yeye awezaye kuwafanya imara, sawasawa na injili yangu na kwa kuhubiriwa kwake Yesu Kristo, sawasawa na ufunuo wa ile siri iliyositirika tangu zamani za milele,
26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
ikadhihirishwa wakati huu kwa maandiko ya manabii, ikajulikana na mataifa yote kama alivyoamuru Mungu wa milele, ili waitii Imani.
27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.
