Ba Loma 2
1 Akaako tokwe chikachizyo, iwe muntu, iwe nuubeteka, nkaambo nchobeteka muli umwi mulinduwe ulalipa mulandu.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost the same things.
2 Pele tulizi kuti lubeta lwaLeza lweendelana akasimpe na lwawida aali baabo bachita zintu zili boobu.
But we know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those that do such things.
3 Pelelangisisye eechi, iwe muntu, nuubeteka aabo bachita zintu zili boobu nikuba ulachita zili boobo ayebo. Uyoonzwenga na kulubeta lwaLeza?
And thinkest thou, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God?
4 Na uyeeya buniini aatala abuvubi bwabubotu bwakwe, kuchedwa kwalubeta lwakwe, alimwi alukakatilo lwakwe? Tamuzi na kuti bubotu bwakwe buchitilidwe kuti bumuzulwide kukusanduka?
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 Pele nkaambo kakuyuma akutasanduka kwamoyo nkoli kulilondweda bukali mubuzuba bwabukali, nkokuti, buzuba bwakuyubununwa kwalubeta lululeme lwaLeza.
But by thy hardness and impenitence of heart thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgement of God,
6 Uyooboozya kumuntu woonse mbuli mumachitlo aakwe:
who will render to every one according to his works:
7 kulibaabo bachita kabotu chabusungu akuyanduula bulumbu, kulemekwa, alimwi akutafwa, uyoopa buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
to them, who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
8 Pele aabo balichitila zyabo, bataswiilili simpe pesle balaswiilila kutalulama, lunyemo abukali bupati buyosika kulimbabo.
but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
9 Leza uyoyeta mapenzi amafwabi kumuuya wamuntu woonse wakachita bubi, kubaJuda lutaanzi, alimwi akubaGiliki.
Tribulation and anguish shall be upon every soul of man that worketh evil, both of the Jew, and of the Gentile:
10 Pele bulumbu, bulemu, aluzyalo ziyoosika kuliwoonse uuchita kabotu, kumaJuda lutaanzi, akubaGiliki.
but glory, and honor, and peace to every one that worketh good, both to the Jew, and to the Greek:
11 Nkaambo takwe kusaluulana pe kwaLeza.
for there is no respect of persons with God.
12 Nkaambo mbuli biingi mbubakabisya kakutakwe mulawu bayoofwa alubo kakutakwe mulawu, alimwi mbuli biingi mbubakabisya mumulawu, bayoobetekwa mumulawu.
For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13 Nkaambo tensi basikumvwa mulawu mbibaluleme kunembo lyaLeza, pele mbaasikuchita batakalulamikwe.
(for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:
14 Nkaambo aawo baMaasi, batakwe mulawu, bo, mulawu kulilwabo beni, nikuba tabakwe mulawu.
for when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the duties of the law, these though they have not the law, are a law to themselves,
15 Kulichechi batondeezya kuti nchito ziyandwa aamulawu zililembedwe mumyoyo yabo. Mayeyelo aabo alazuminana, alimwi miyeyo yabo tiibapi mulandu pe na kubalwanina lwabo beni
and shew the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience witnessing together with it, and their own thoughts either accusing, or excusing them, )
16 alimwi akuliLeza. Eezyo ziyochitikana mubuzuba aawo Leza natakabeteke nsiswa zyabantu boonse, mbuli muvangeli lyangu, kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
17 Na kolyaamba kuti uli muJuda, kala aatala aamulawu, botelwa chakulikankayizya muli Leza,
Behold thou art called a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God,
18 ziba luyando lwakwe, mpawo sala zisiyene kkuyigwa mulawu, koli walayililwa amulawu.
and knowest his will, and approvest things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 Alimwi koli aalusinizyo kuti nduwe sikuzulwida boofu, mumuni kuibaabo bali mumudima,
and art persuaded that thou art a guide of the blind,
20 muzyotololi wabafubafuba, muyisi wabaniini, alimwi koli aaluzibo akaasimpe kamulawu.
a light to them that are in the darkness, an instructor of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth which is in the law.
21 Iwe, lino, noomuyisi wabamwi, toliyiisyi na we nomwini? Nywebo nimukambawuka kuti mutaabbi, mulabba na?
Thou then, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou, that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Nywebo nimwaamba kuti utachiti mamambi, mulachita mamambi na? Nywebo nimusesemwa mitumi, mulabbida matempele na?
Thou, that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? Thou, that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Nywebo nimulikankayizya mumulawu, mulamusampawula na Leza kwiinda mukusotoka mulawu?
Thou, that boastest in the law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?
24 Nkaambo, “izina lya Leza liluubisigwa aakati kabaMaasi akaambo kenu,” mbuli mbuzyakalembwa.
for through you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.
25 Nkaambo kupalulwa kuleempindu kulinduwe na waswiilizya mulawu, pele na koli sikusotoka mulawu, bupalulwe bwako ngabwaba kutapalulwa.
For circumcision indeed is profitable, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
26 Na, limo, muntu uutapalwidwe wabanya ziyandwa aamulawu, kutapalulwa kwakwe takukoyooboneka mbuli bupalulwe na?
Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteous precepts of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted to him for circumcision?
27 Alimwi ooyo uutapalwidwe takonzyi na kumubeteka na watobelezya mulawu? Oku nkukuti muli aamagwalo aalembedwe alimwi abupalulwe pele muchili basikusotoka mulawu!
and shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? for he is not a Jew, who is only so in appearance;
28 Nkaambo tensi uubanguwe mwinimwnini kuchiwa chaanze; nikuba bupalulwe oobo buli aanze buyo munyama.
nor is that circumcision, which is only in appearance, in the flesh;
29 Pele muJuda ooyo uuli aabwamukati, alimwi abupalulwe bwamumoyo, mu Muya, pe pe mumalembe. Bulumbo bwamuntu uuliboobu tabuzwi kumuntu pe pesi kuliLeza.
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 from men, but from God.
