Romawa 2

1 Nakima u na he ni sen nyu wu ndji u sharantawa, Nakima ikpi wa u si sharantawa nitu bari, u wuu tume ni tume. Nakima u sharantawa u si tie kpi bi yi ngame.

Now then, you there, whoever you are who judges someone else for things you practice yourself—you condemn yourself and are inexcusable.

2 Naki ki toh ndji i tron Irji a njanji ani ye joku ni biwa ba ti kpie baki.

Further, we know that God's judgment against those who practice such things is according to truth.

3 Nakima ka toh wayi wu indji u sharanta ni biwa ti kpii, wume wu si ti me. Wu yah ndi wu gbujbu ni nfu Irji?

So then, you there, you who judge those who practice such things while doing the same, do you really imagine that you will escape God's judgment?

4 Ko wu kpa ndindima tsri wa infu ma ni vu suron ana ye gbagbla na? Wuna toh ndji ndindima musama du nji wu hi ni ti njanji?

Or do you scorn the riches of His kindness, tolerance and longsuffering, not recognizing that the goodness of God is leading you toward repentance?

5 Aman sabo ni son tume ni suron me wa ana tie njanji na, wu si vu'u nfu ni sru ni tume ni vie u nfu, wato ivie u ye tron njanji u Irji.

Rather, due to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are treasuring up wrath for yourself in the day of God's wrath and revelation and righteous judgment,

6 Mi no ko nha ndi dede du ma wa ati'a.

who will repay each one according to his works:

7 Ni bi wa ba you suron ni tie ndindi chachu'u ba wa nitu zu wo daraja ni drie u kakle. (aiōnios g166)

to those who seek for glory, honor and incorruption, by persevering in doing good—eternal life; (aiōnios g166)

8 Naki bi wa ba son tu, ni bi wa ba kamba ni njanji, ba ti biyaya ni rashi njanji, infu ni nfu rigra ni grji ni bawu.

but to those who, due to self-seeking, are actually disobeying the truth (while obeying the unrighteousness)—fury and wrath,

9 Irji ni grji ni iya meme ni shinji ne bi vri wawu wa bati meme, ni Yahudawa ni muimla ni Hellinawa.

tribulation and anguish, upon every human soul who works at the evil, whether Jew (first) or Greek;

10 Nakima zuwo ni daraja ni sun si ba he ni bi wa basi ti ndu ndindi wa wu bawu, ni Yahudawa ni mumla, ni yi ni kpa nyime Irji.

but glory, honor and peace to everyone who works the good, whether Jew (first) or Greek.

11 Mi ti titan toh yi, don mini noyi baiwa ri u ruhaniya mi ni noyi gbengblen.

Now there is no favoritism with God.

12 Wato misi ngyiri mi ni kpa gbengblen ni mi bi u njanji mbu wato u mu, u bi.

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law; while as many as have sinned with law will be judged by law.

13 Ziza'a fa mina son du yi ka toh mri ya kpo gbugbu'u mi you suron ndi mi ye ni yi, naki har zizan'a koh na he na. Mi son ndi miti nakima, don mi ni samu mri u Ruhu ndindi ni mi mbi, na ahe ni mbru bi kora.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

14 Mi ban yah Helinawa ni baba u mbru ndji bi toh ni bi wa bana toh na.

(indeed, whenever the ethnic nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these, although not having law, are a law to themselves;

15 Ni naki tie mba rju he ni kora ndi tron'a he nimi suron mba. U mi dri mba ngame ahi sheda ni bawu, u tunani mba ko ka vu ba ni meme ko ka kri ngba ni bawu

who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their reasonings among themselves accusing or even excusing)

16 u ni Irji ngame. Ani he naki ni vi wa Irji ni rju ni mi dri ba ndji wawu'u ni kora, ni tu nkon u tre Ma, ni Yesu Kristi.

in the day when God, according to my Gospel, will judge people's secrets by Jesus Christ.

17 Nakima wu si you tume ndi wu uhi Bayahude, wu sun ni tu tron, ndi ni wru wo ni san ni mi Irji.

Look, you declare yourself a Jew, and rest on the Law, and boast in God,

18 Wu toh mre ma, ndi toh kpi wa ba he ni nkanka naki, kuma u kpa bla ni mi tron.

and know the Will, and approve the superior things, being instructed out of the Law.

19 Naki wu he ni gabagadi nitu ndi wu u vu wo ni bi fie, ndi kpah ni bi wa ba he ni mi bu'u.

Further, you are confident that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those in darkness,

20 Gbi ton ni wa ana he ni toh na, u tsro ni mri bi tsitsa, u andi ni mi tron wu he ni kpi wa a shafi toh ni kuma njanji, u nihe ikpe yi ahe ni mi son me?

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

21 Bi yi wa tsro bari, bina tsro tumbi na? Bi wa bi tre na tie y'bi na, bina y'bi?

You then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach not to steal, do you steal?

22 Biyi wa bi tre duba na tie ntran na, bina ni tie ntran na? Biyi bi tre duba na ti gumaka na, bina tie gumaka na? Biyi wa bi tre duba na tie y'bi na, bina y'bi sessren me na?

You who say not to commit adultery, do you adulterate? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

23 Biyi wa bi ngyiri nimi tron, bina kpa Irji tsri ni mi lah tree u wa ba hu tron na?

You who boast in the Law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the Law?

24 Naki ba kpa nde Irji tie meme ni mi bi kora nitu mbi.

For, just as it is written: “The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”

25 Gbi gbi you grji ana he ni mah ma ni yi. Inde bi kiyaye doka, aman inde bi yi wa bina hu doka na, you grji bi akam ti na ana you grji na.

Now circumcision does have value if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 Nakima inde ndji wa bana you grji ni u na, ani kiyaye bukatu tron wawu'u bana iya ban wa bana you grji ni wu ni matsayi wa ba you grji niwu?

So if the uncircumcised keeps the righteous requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

27 Nakima inde ndji wa ba you grji ni wu na u yi ani kiyaye dokoki ba wawu, ana yah sharanta yi bi you grji u tron na? Naki a he inde bi hei ni tron ba nha, aman ana hu tron na.

And will not the physically uncircumcised who fulfills the law judge you, complete with written code and circumcision, who are a transgressor of the Law?

28 Naki wawu na hi Bayahude ni ra na, ana wa ba you grji nda han tan na

Because a person is not a [true] Jew who is only one outwardly, nor is [true] circumcision something outward in the flesh;

29 Naki a Bayahude u mi, naki me ba yo grji u suron mba Ruhu ndindi ana ibe na, bibi ndji kima ana ndji ni zu wo ni u na, se Irji.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart—in spirit, not letter—whose praise is not from men but from God.
