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