Jo-Rumi 2

1 Omiyo in bende ok initony, in mingʼado bura ni ngʼat machielo, nikech gima ingʼadonego ngʼat machielo burano ema bura loyigo iwuon, nikech in mingʼado bura bende itimo gik machalre gi gima otimo.

For which reason, you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, that judge; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge, practice the same things.

2 To koro wangʼeyo ni buch Nyasaye ne joma timo gik ma kamago oluwore gi adiera.

But we know that the judgment of God against those who practice such things, is according to truth.

3 To koro in dhano adhanani mingʼado bura ni joma timo gik ma in bende itimo, iparo ni Nyasaye biro ngʼado bura ni jogo to in to itony?

But do you, O man, who judge those that practice such things, and yet do the same, conclude that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Koso ichayo ngʼwonone mogundho, ber mare kod horuokne? Donge ingʼeyo ni Nyasaye ngʼwononi mondo omiyi thuolo mar lokruok mondo iwe richo?

Or, do you despise the riches of his goodness, and his forbearance, and his long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 To kuom tamruok mari kod chunyi midagi loko, ikuno mirima mager, ne in iwuon ne odiechieng mirimb Nyasaye, ma buche makare noelie.

But, according to your hard and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath for a day of wrath, and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 Chiengʼno Nyasaye “nochul ngʼato ka ngʼato kaluwore gi timbene.”

who will render to every man according to his works;

7 Ne joma osetimo kinda kuom timo maber, ka gidwaro duongʼ kod luor, kod gik ma ok tho, enomi ngima mochwere. (aiōnios g166)

to those who, by patient continuance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 To joma ohero margi kendo ma ok luw adiera, to luwo mana timbe ma ok kare, norom gi mirimb Nyasaye mager.

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, anger and wrath,

9 Masira gi chandruok malit nobedi ni ji duto matimo richo, mokwongo ni jo-Yahudi, eka bangʼe ni joma ok jo-Yahudi bende;

affliction and distress, upon every soul of man that practices what is evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek:

10 to ngʼato ka ngʼato matimo maber noyud duongʼ gi pak kod kwe, mokwongo ni jo-Yahudi, eka bangʼe ni joma ok jo-Yahudi bende;

but glory and honor and peace to every one that practices what is good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

11 nikech Nyasaye ok dew wangʼ ji.

for there is no respect of persons with God.

12 Ji duto matimo richo, ka ok ongʼeyo chik nolal nono kata obedo ni gikia chik kamano, to ji duto matimo richo ka gin e bwo Chik nongʼadnigi bura gi Chikno.

For as many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned under law, shall be judged by law,

13 Ok mana joma ongʼeyo Chik ema nikare e nyim Nyasaye, to makmana jogo matimo gima chik dwaro ema ibiro keto kare.

in the day when God shall judge the secret works of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

14 (Chutho ka joma ok jo-Yahudi maonge gi Chik, timo gik ma Chik dwaro, kata obedo ni gikia Chik, to gidoko chik ne gin giwegi kata obedo ni gionge gi chik kamano

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

15 nikech ginyiso ni gima Chik dwaro ondiki e chunygi, kendo kata chunygi giwegi bende bedo joneno ni mano en adier, kendo pachgi seche moko ngʼadonegi bura kaka joketho, to seche moko pwoyogi.)

For when the Gentiles, who have not a law, do, by nature, the things of the law, these who have not a law, are a law to themselves,

16 Mano notimre e odiechiengʼ ma Nyasaye nomi Yesu Kristo teko mar ngʼado bura kuom gik mopondo manie chuny dhano kaka Injili ma ayalo wacho.

who show that the work which the law requires, is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing testimony, and their reasonings with each other accusing, or making excuse.

17 In iluongori ni ja-Yahudi; kendo iyiengori kuom Chik, kendo ipakori in ngʼat Nyasaye.

But if you are named Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast in God.

18 Iwacho ni ingʼeyo gima Nyasaye dwaro, kendo inyalo pogo gima ber moloyo nikech isepuonjori chik.

and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law:

19 Bende iwacho chutho ni in jatend muofni, kendo ni in e ler mar joma ni e mudho;

if you are also confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 bende ni itayo joma ofuwo, kendo ni in japuonj nyithindo nikech Chik ma in-go otingʼo ngʼeyo kod adiera.

an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law;

21 In mipuonjo ji mamoko, dak ipuonjri iwuon? In miyalo ni kuo rach, dibed in to ikwala?

you, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

22 In miwacho ni ji kik terre, dibed ni to iterori? In ma ichayo nyiseche manono, dibed ni in to ikwelo ei hekalu mag nyiseche manonogo?

You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

23 In ma isungori nikech Chik ma in-go, dipo ikelo achaya ne Nyasaye kuom ketho Chik?

You who make your boast in the law, do you, by transgressing the law, dishonor God?

24 Mana kaka ondiki niya, “Nying Nyasaye iyanyo e dier joma ok jo-Yahudi nikech un.”

For the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles, on account of you, as it is written.

25 Tero ngʼato nyangu nigi ohala mana ka omako Chik, to ka oketho Chik to ochalo ngʼat mane ok oter nyangu.

Now, circumcision is indeed profitable, if you keep the law: but, if you transgress the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 Omiyo ka joma ok oter nyangu timo gik ma Chik dwaro, to donge inyalo kwan-gi kaka joma oter nyangu?

If, then, he who is uncircumcised keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 Koro ngʼat ma ok oter nyangu e yor ringruok, to oluwo chik, biro ngʼadoni bura, in ma ingʼeyo Ndiko kendo oteri, to iketho chik.

And shall not he whose want of circumcision is owing to his birth, if he keeps the law, condemn you, who, by the literal circumcision, transgress the law?

28 Ngʼato ok en ja-Yahudi mana kuom nenruokne ma oko kata nikech otere nyangu e ringre ma oko.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

29 Ooyo, ja-Yahudi mar adier en ngʼato ma ja-Yahudi gi e chunye kendo tero nyangu mar adier bende en mar chuny, mano en tich Roho to ok mar rito Chik. Ngʼat ma kamano ok yud pak kuom ji, to oyudo pak kuom Nyasaye.

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