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.

You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.

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

"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?

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?

Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?

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 despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to 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.

In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

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

For He will render to every man 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)

eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (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 anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.

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

Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;

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 and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

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

For there is no partiality with God.

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

For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under 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 law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.

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

For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no 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

For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

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 will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

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

Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself 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 his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are 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.

and are confident that you yourself are a 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 young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

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

You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?

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 keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?

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

You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

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

For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.

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.

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is 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 ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to 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 shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

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

For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not 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 the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
