< Rom 2 >
1 To pongah, nang, minawk lokcaekkung, nangmah to doeh na hoikhang ai, minawk lokcaekkung, nang mah doeh to tiah na sak toeng pongah, minawk lok na caek naah nangmah hoi nangmah zaehaih angnet kami ah ni na oh.
Therefore you are without excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2 Toe to baktih hmuen sah kaminawk loe Sithaw mah loktang lok baktih toengah lokcaekhaih to om tih, tiah a panoek o.
Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.
3 Aw kami, to baktih hmuen sah kami lokcaekkung, nang doeh to baktih hmuen to na sak toeng pongah, Sithaw lokcaekhaih thung hoi ka loih tih, tiah na poek maw?
And do you think this, you who judge those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 To tih ai boeh loe Sithaw hoihhaih mah dawnpakhuem hanah ang caeh haih, tito panoek ai ah, Sithaw angraenghaih ah kaom a hoihhaih, pauephaih hoi paroeai palungsawkhaih to na patoek maw?
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Toe nang loe palung na thah moe, dawnpakhuemhaih na tawn ai. Sithaw palungphuihaih ni to phak moe, katoeng a lokcaekhaih amtueng na han ih maw, nangmah hanah to palungphuihaih to na patungh;
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Sithaw loe a sak o ih baktih toengah kami boih hanah paek tih:
who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"
7 kahoih hmuen sah kami, lensawkhaih, khingyahaih hoi amro thai ai hmuen pakrong kaminawk hanah loe dungzan hinghaih to paek tih: (aiōnios )
to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (aiōnios )
8 toe angmah taham pakrong kami, loktang lok tahngai ai kami, toenghaih loklam to pahnawt moe, zaehaih loklam pazui kaminawk nuiah loe palungphuihaih to om tih,
But to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,
9 kahoih ai hmuen sah kaminawk nuiah loe patangkhanghaih hoi palungsethaih to om tih, Judahnawk khaeah om hmaloe ueloe, Gentelnawk khaeah doeh om tih;
affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 toe kahoih hmuen sah kaminawk loe lensawkhaih, khingyahaih hoi monghaihnawk to hnu o tih, Judahnawk khaeah om hmaloe ueloe, Gentelnawk khaeah doeh om tih:
But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Sithaw loe kami ih mikhmai to khen ai.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Kaalok ai ah zaehaih sah kaminawk loe, kaalok ai ah amro o tih: kaalok thungah zaehaih sah kaminawk loe kaalok mah lokcaek tih;
For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13 (kaalok thaih kaminawk loe Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng kami ah om thai ai, kaalok pazui kaminawk khue ni katoeng kami ah om o tih;
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
14 Gentelnawk loe kaalok tawn o ai, toe angmacae koehah kaalok to pazui o naah, kaalok tawn o ai e, nihcae hanah kaalok ah oh pae boeh:
For when the non-Jews who do not have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 kasae kahoih panoekhaih loe nihcae palung thungah tarik ih kaalok baktiah oh pae boeh, to tiah panoekhaih mah aicae loe zae net ih kami ah maw a oh o, to tih ai boeh loe zae tahmen ih kami, tito amtuengsak; )
since they show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them,
16 Sithaw mah Jesu Kri rang hoiah kaminawk mah tamquta hoi sak o ih hmuennawk lokcaek na niah loe, ka thuih ih kahoih tamthanglok hoiah ni lokcaek tih.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.
17 Khenah, nang loe Judah kami, tiah kawk ih kami, kaalok ah amhaa kami, Sithaw amoek haih kami,
But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,
18 anih koehhaih panoek kami, kaalok mah patuk ih baktih toengah, kahoih kue hmuennawk panoek tawn kami,
and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 nangmah hoi nangmah to mikmaeng zaehoikung, khoving thungah kaom kaminawk aanghaih paekkung,
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 kaalok thungah palunghahaih hoi loktang to oh pongah, kamthunawk loklam patuek kami hoi nawktanawk patukkung maeto ah ka oh o, tiah na poek.
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.
21 Nangmah hoi nangmah ca amtuk ai ah maw, minawk kalah to ca na patuk? Paquk han ai ah kami khaeah lok na thuih e, nangmah loe na paquk maw?
You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 Kami maeto loe zu sava laep ah zaehaih sak han om ai, tiah na thuih, toe nang mah loe zu sava laep ah zaehaih na sak maw? Krang bokhaih to na panuet, toe tempul thung ih hmuennawk to na lomh maw?
You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?
23 Kaalok amoek haih kami mah, kaalok aekhaih hoiah Sithaw ih ahmin kasae na thuih maw?
You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?
24 Cabu thungah, nangcae pongah Gentelnawk salakah Sithaw ahmin kasae thuihhaih to oh boeh, tiah tarik ih oh.
For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just as it is written.
25 Kaalok na pazui nahaeloe, tangyat hin aahhaih to atho oh: toe kaalok to na aek nahaeloe, tangyat hin na aah o haih loe tangyat hin aat ai baktiah ni oh.
For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 To pongah, tangyat hin aat ai kami mah katoeng kaalok to pazui nahaeloe, anih to tangyat hin aat kami baktiah poek mak ai maw?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 To pongah taksa ah tangyat hin aat ai kami mah kaalok to pazui nahaeloe, Cabu tawn kami hoi tangyat hin aat kami ah na oh o cadoeh, kaalok pazui ai kami nang to lok na caek mak ai maw?
Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28 Taksa ah kamtueng, tasa bang kamtueng taksa ah tangyat hin aat kami loe, Judah kami na ai ni:
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29 toe a thung ih taksa ah tangyat hin aat kami to ni Judah kami tangtang: Cabu thung ih lok baktih toengah tangyat hin aat kami na ai ah, Muithla rang hoiah palungthin tangyat hin aat kami to ni, Judah kami tangtang; to baktih kami pakoehhaih loe kami khae hoiah angzo ai e, Sithaw khae hoiah angzoh.
but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from people, but from God.
