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.

Mo a mubu afoforo atɛn no, munni anoyi biara. Ɔkwan biara a mobɛfa so abu afoforo atɛn no, ɛnam saa ɔkwan no ara so ma mode atemmu ba mo ho so. Efisɛ bɔne a ɛma mubu afoforo atɛn no, mo nso moyɛ saa bɔne koro no ara bi.

2 For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things.

Yenim sɛ, sɛ Onyankopɔn bu wɔn a wɔte saa ara no atɛn a na ne kwan so ara ne no.

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?

Na wo, onipa, wubu afoforo atɛn wɔ nneɛma koro no ara a woyɛ bi no ho a, wususuw sɛ Onyankopɔn remmu wo atɛn ana?

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?

Anaasɛ, ebia wummu nʼayamye, nʼabodwokyɛre ne ne boasetɔ? Wunnim sɛ Onyankopɔn yɛ mmɔborɔhunufo a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkyerɛ wo ɔkwan a wobɛfa so anu wo ho?

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.

Nanso esiane wo komaden ne komapirim nti, woboaboa abufuwhyew ano ma wo ho wɔ Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew da no, da no a ɔbɛda nʼatɛntrenee adi no.

6 Who will render to every man according to his works.

Nea obiara ayɛ no so akatua na Onyankopɔn bɛma no anya.

7 To them indeed, who according to patience in good work, seek glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

Wɔn a wɔde boasetɔ yɛ papa de hwehwɛ anuonyam, nidi ne nea ɛmporɔw no, ɔbɛma wɔn nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)

8 But to them that are contentious, and who obey not the truth, but give credit to iniquity, wrath and indignation.

Nanso wɔn a wɔyɛ pɛsɛmenkominya ne wɔn a wɔpo nokware no kodi bɔne akyi no, abufuwhyew ne amanehunu bɛba wɔn so.

9 Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.

Yudafo ne amanamanmufo a wɔkɔ so yɛ bɔne no nyinaa behu amane na wɔn werɛ nso bɛhow.

10 But glory, and honour, and peace to every one that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Nanso wɔn a wotie no no, sɛ wɔyɛ Yudafo anaa amanamanmufo no, wobenya anuonyam, nidi ne asomdwoe afi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn.

11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

Onyankopɔn nyɛ nyiyimu na ɔnyɛ nhwɛanim nso wɔ nʼatemmu mu.

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.

Wɔn a wonnim mmara no na wɔyɛ bɔne no, wɔbɛkwati mmara no abu wɔn atɛn ara, na wɔn a wonim mmara no na wɔyɛ bɔne no, wɔnam mmara no so bebu wɔn atɛn.

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

Ɛnyɛ mmaratiefo na wɔteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim, na mmom ɛyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ osetie ma mmara no na wobebu wɔn bem.

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:

Amanamanmufo no nni mmara, nanso wofi wɔn awosu mu yɛ nea mmara no hwehwɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ wonni mmara de, nanso eyinom bɛyɛ mmara ama wɔn.

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,

Esiane sɛ wɔn abrabɔ kyerɛ sɛ, nea mmara no hwehwɛ no, wɔakyerɛw wɔ wɔn koma mu no nti, wɔn ahonim di adanse sɛ wodi bem anaasɛ wɔabu wɔn fɔ.

16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Enti asɛmpa a meka no kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ da no du a, saa na Onyankopɔn nam Yesu Kristo so bebu nnipa kokoamsɛm ho atɛn.

17 But if thou art called a Jew and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

Mo Yudafo de, mususuw sɛ mo ne Onyankopɔn te no yiye, efisɛ ɔde ne mmara a monam so benya nkwagye no maa mo. Na moka wɔ mo anofafa nso se, moyɛ ne nnamfonom sononko bi.

18 And knowest his will, and approvest the more profitable things, being instructed by the law,

Munim nea Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ sɛ moyɛ. Moasua afi Mmara no mu ahu nea eye.

19 Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

Mofa mo ho sɛ moyɛ akwankyerɛfo ma anifuraefo, na moyɛ hann nso ma wɔn a wɔte sum mu.

20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.

Mugye di sɛ mubetumi akyerɛ adwenharefo ne mmofra Onyankopɔn akwan, efisɛ munim ne mmara a osuahu ne nokware ahyɛ no ma no.

21 Thou therefore that teachest another, teachest not thyself: thou that preachest that men should not steal, stealest:

Mokyerɛkyerɛ afoforo. Na adɛn nti na muntumi nkyerɛkyerɛ mo ho mo ho? Moka kyerɛ afoforo se wɔmmmɔ korɔn. Mo nso mobɔ korɔn ana?

22 Thou that sayest, men should not commit adultery, committest adultery: thou that abhorrest idols, committest sacrilege:

Mo a moka se aguamammɔ nye. Mo nso mobɔ aguaman ana? Mo a moka se mukyi ahoni no, mobɔ korɔn wɔ hyiadan mu ana?

23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, by transgression of the law dishonourest God.

Mo a mohoahoa mo ho wɔ mmara no mu no, monam mmara no so bu so bu Onyankopɔn animtiaa ana?

24 (For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.)

Ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ Kyerɛwsɛm no ka se mo nti wiasefo kasa tia Onyankopɔn.

25 Circumcision profiteth indeed, if thou keep the law; but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

Sɛ woyɛ Yudani na wudi Onyankopɔn mmara no so a, ɛyɛ ade a ɛsom bo. Na sɛ moanni so a, nsonoe biara nni mo ne momonotofo ntam.

26 If, then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

Sɛ momonotofo di Onyankopɔn mmara so a, wɔremmu wɔn sɛ Onyankopɔn nkurɔfo ana?

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?

Enti momonotoni a odi mmara no so no bɛkasa atia mo, Yudafo a munim Onyankopɔn mmara a wɔakyerɛw no, nanso munni so no.

28 For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly; nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh:

Fa a wɔde mo afa Yudasom mu atwa mo twetia, anaasɛ Yudafo na wɔwoo mo no nkyerɛ sɛ moyɛ Yudafo kann.

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.

Yudani kann no ne nea ɔyɛ no wɔ ne mu. Ɛnyɛ ɔhonam mu twetiatwa ne twetiatwa turodoo, na mmom koma mu nsakrae a efi Onyankopɔn Honhom mu ba no. Nsakrae yi mfi di a obi di mmara bi a wɔakyerɛw mu. Saa onipa no ayeyi mfi nnipa afoforo bi, na mmom, efi Onyankopɔn.
