< Ŵaloma 2 >

1 Kwayele, mmwe mwajangu, iŵaga nkwalamula ŵane ngankombola kulichenjela natamuno mme ŵaani. Pakuŵa, pankwalamula ŵane akuno nomwe nkwendelechela kuipanganya iyoyo, nkulilamula mwasyene.
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 Nowe tukumanyilila kuti ulamule wa Akunnungu uli wa usyene kwa aŵala ŵakuitendekanya indu yanti yeleyo.
"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?
3 Nambo alakwe junkwalamula ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo ni mwasyene nkuitendekanya iyoyo peyo. Ana nkuganisya chinchiuŵambala ulamule wa Akunnungu?
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 Pane nkuunyelusya umbone wekulu wa Akunnungu ni utulale ni upililiu wao, uli ngankuimanyilila kuti umbone wa Akunnungu ukunnongosya kuti nneche sambi?
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 Nambo mmwe nkakatime ntima ni nkwete ntima wangasaka kuleka sambi, kwa ligongo lyo nkuligosela mwasyene magambo pa lyuŵa lya Akunnungu lya lutumbilo lwao ni kulamula kwao kwa chigolochelo pachikulolechele.
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 Pakuŵa Akunnungu chachinlipa jwalijose malinga ni masengo gakwe.
For He will render to every man according to his works;
7 Ŵandu ŵakuitendekanya yambone pangali kupela akuno achisosaga ukulu ni kusichila ni umi wangaukujonasika, Akunnungu chachapa ŵandu ŵa, umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (aiōnios g166)
8 Nambo aŵala ŵalipamo, aŵala ŵakuukanila usyene, ni kuikuya yangalumbana, isyene Akunnungu chachalamula kwa lutumbilo ni uchimwa wakwe wekulu.
but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.
9 Chigapagwe masauko ni kulaga kwa jwalijose jwakuitendekanya yangalumbana, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;
10 Nambo jwalijose jwakutendekanya yambone, Akunnungu chachimpa ukulu ni luchimbichimbi ni chitendewele, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.
11 Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵangali lusagu.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵangakugamanyilila Malajisyo ga che Musa chasochele pangagamanyilila Malajisyo go. Ni Ŵayahudi ŵakugamanyilila Malajisyo ali nkutenda sambi chalamulikwe ni Malajisyo go.
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 Pakuŵa, ŵakugapilikana Malajisyo ngaŵa ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo aŵala ŵakugajitichisya Malajisyo ni ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
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 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵangakugamanyilila Malajisyo, nambo pakutenda indu kwa lwendo lwapagwile nawo chisau ni yaitite pakulamulikwa mmalajisyo, achinsyene wo akulosya kuti akumanyilila chakusachilwa kupanganya namuno nganagamanyilila Malajisyo go.
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 Pakuŵa lwendo lwao lukulosya kuti Malajisyo galembekwe mu mitima jao. Miningwa jao jikulosya kuti au uli usyene, pakuŵa ng'anisyo syao sikwaŵechetela kuti atesile yangalumbana pane sikwachenjela kuti atesile yambone.
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 Yeleyo ni ichikopochele pa lyuŵa litachilamula Akunnungu yantemela ya ŵandu, kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito mpela Ngani Jambone jinanlalichile ijikuti pakusala.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17 Ni mmwe junkuliŵilanga Myahudi, nkugakulupilila Malajisyo ni kulifunila ndi mundu jwa Akunnungu,
Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,
18 nkulitenda kuti nkumanyilila yaikwanonyela Akunnungu ni kwitichisya indu yao yambone pakuŵa nyiganichikwe ni Malajisyo.
and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,
19 Nkuliganichisya mwasyene kuti ndi chilongola jwa ŵangalola ni lilanguka lyao ŵaali mu chipi,
and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,
20 junkwaunda ŵakuloŵela ni njiganyo jwa ŵanache achanandi. Pakuŵa nkuganisya mu Malajisyo nkwete umanyilisi ni usyene.
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 Nipele mmweji junkwajiganya ŵane, ana kwa chichi ngankulijiganya mwasyene? Mmweji junkwalalichila ŵane nkajiŵa kwachichi mwasyene nkwiŵa?
You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?
22 Mmweji junkusala, “Nkatenda chikululu,” kwachichi mwasyene nkutenda chikululu? Nkuichima inyago ya achiminungu, kwachichi mwasyene nkwinjila ni kwiŵa indu mu majumba ga achiminungu?
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 Nkulilapa kuti nkugamanyilila Malajisyo ga Akunnungu nambo nkunjalusya Akunnungu pankuleka kugakamulisya Malajisyo go!
You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?
24 Pakuŵa mpela yagakuti kusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi akulitukana liina lya Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya agala gankugatenda ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi.”
For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.
25 Kuumbala kwenu chikuŵe ni malumbo iŵaga chingajitichisye Malajisyo. Nambo iŵaga nkugapwanya Malajisyo, mbaya ngankaumbale.
Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 Ni iŵaga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganaumbale akugakamulichisya Malajisyo, uli ungaumbala wao ngauŵilanjikwa uumbale?
So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.
27 Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganaumbale mu chiilu, nambo akugakamulichisya Malajisyo, chanlamule ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi pakuŵa ngankugajitichisya Malajisyo namose nkugamanyilila Malajisyo gamalembekwe ni ndi ŵaumbale.
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 Myahudi jwa usyene ngaŵa ajula jwakuloleka kwa meeso, atamuno mundu ngakuŵa Myahudi jwa usyene pakuŵa aumbele mu chiilu.
For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;
29 Nambo Myahudi jwa usyene ni ajula jwali jwati iyoyo nkati, malumbo gakwe ajula jwaumbele mu ntima. Kuumbala kusyene kuli, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akukupanganya mu ntima mwa mundu, ni ngaŵa kwa malembo ga Malajisyo. Nambo mundu jwati yeleyi ngaakulapikwa ni ŵandu nambo akulapikwa ni Akunnungu.
but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
