Romans 2
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoeuer thou art that condemnest: for in that that thou condemnest another, thou condemnest thy selfe: for thou that condemnest, doest the same things.
Na kahore he kupu whakahoki mau, e koe, e te tangata e whakahe ana: i a koe hoki e whakahe na i tera, e whakatau ana koe i te he ki a koe ano; kei te mahi hoki koe, te kaiwhakahe, i aua mea na ano.
2 But we know that the iudgement of God is according to trueth, against them which comit such things.
Na e matau ana tatou kei runga i te pono te whakahenga a te Atua mo nga kaimahi i aua mea.
3 And thinkest thou this, O thou man, that condemnest them which doe such thinges, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the iudgement of God?
Ko tou whakaaro ranei tenei, e te tangata e whakahe ana ki nga kaimahi i aua mea, e mahi na ano koe i aua mea, ko koe e ora i ta te Atua whakahe?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his bountifulnesse, and patience, and long sufferance, not knowing that the bountifulnesse of God leadeth thee to repentance?
E whakahawea ana ranei koe ki nga rawa o tona ngawari, o tana tikanga mahaki, o tona manawanui, e ranea tonu nei; te mahara ko te ngawari o te Atua hei arahi i a koe ki te ripeneta?
5 But thou, after thine hardnesse, and heart that canot repent, heapest vp as a treasure vnto thy selfe wrath against the day of wrath, and of the declaration of the iust iudgement of God,
Heoi pakeke tonu koe, kahore e ripeneta tou ngakau, e puranga ana koe i te riri mou, mo te ra o te riri, o te whakakitenga mai ano i ta te Atua whakawakanga tika;
6 Who wil reward euery man according to his woorkes:
Mana e homai ki tetahi, ki tetahi, kia rite ki a ratou mahi:
7 That is, to them which through patience in well doing, seeke glorie, and honour, and immortalitie, euerlasting life: (aiōnios g166)
Ki te hunga e whai ana ki te kororia, ki te honore, ki te piraukore, me te mau ano ki te mahi pai, he ora tonu: (aiōnios g166)
8 But vnto them that are contentious and disobey the trueth, and obey vnrighteousnesse, shalbe indignation and wrath.
Ki te hunga ia e totohe ana, e turi ana ki te pono, e whakarongo ana hoki ki te he, he riri, he aritarita,
9 Tribulation and anguish shalbe vpon the soule of euery man that doeth euill: of the Iewe first, and also of the Grecian.
He pawera, he raru, mo nga wairua tangata katoa e mahi ana i te kino, mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki:
10 But to euery man that doeth good, shalbe glory, and honour, and peace: to the Iew first, and also to the Grecian.
He kororia ia, he honore, he rangimarie, mo nga tangata katoa e mahi ana i te pai, mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Kahore hoki a te Atua whakapai kanohi.
12 For as many as haue sinned without the Lawe, shall perish also without the Lawe: and as many as haue sinned in the Lawe, shall be iudged by the Lawe,
Ko te hunga hoki i hara turekore, ka ngaro turekore ano hoki: me te hunga i hara i runga i te ture, kei te ture ano he whakahe mo ratou;
13 (For the hearers of the Lawe are not righteous before God: but the doers of the Lawe shalbe iustified.
He teka hoki ko nga kaiwhakarongo o te ture e tika ki ta te Atua; engari ko nga kaimahi o te ture e whakatikaia.
14 For when the Gentiles which haue not the Lawe, doe by nature, the things conteined in the Lawe, they hauing not the Lawe, are a Lawe vnto themselues,
I te mea hoki e mahia maoritia ana nga mea o te ture e nga Tauiwi, kahore nei o ratou ture, ko enei, kahore nei o ratou ture, hei ture ki a ratou ano:
15 Which shew the effect of the Lawe written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnes, and their thoughts accusing one another, or excusing, )
I te mea ka whakakite ratou i te mahi a te ture, he mea tuhituhi ki o ratou ngakau, me te whakaae tahi ano o ratou hinengaro, ko o ratou whakaaro kei te whakahehe, kei te whakatikatika ranei i a ratou;
16 At the day when God shall iudge the secretes of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
I te ra e whakawa ai te Atua i nga mea ngaro a nga tangata, he mea whakarite tonu ki taku rongopai, he meatanga na Ihu Karaiti.
17 Beholde, thou art called a Iewe, and restest in the Lawe, and gloriest in God,
Otira, mehemea e tapaina ana koe he Hurai, a, e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki te ture, e whakamanamana ana ki te Atua,
18 And knowest his will, and triest the things that dissent from it, in that thou art instructed by the Lawe:
A, e mohio ana ki tana e pai ai, a e kitea ana e koe nga mea e tino pai ana, he mea whakaako hoki koe na te ture,
19 And persuadest thy selfe that thou art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse,
A, e u ana tou whakaaro, ko koe hei kaiarahi mo nga matapo, hei marama mo te hunga i roto i te pouri,
20 An instructer of them which lacke discretion, a teacher of the vnlearned, which hast the forme of knowledge, and of the truth in ye Law.
Hei kaiwhakatikatika mo nga kuware, hei kaiwhakaako mo nga kohungahunga; kei a koe hoki te ahua o te matauranga, o te pono i runga i te ture;
21 Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest, A man should not steale, doest thou steale?
he kaiwhakaako koe i tera atu, e kore ianei koe e whakaako i a koe ano? e kauwhau na koe kia kaua e tahae, e tahae ana ranei koe?
22 Thou that saist, A man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idoles, committest thou sacrilege?
A koe e mea na, Kaua e puremu, e puremu ana ranei koe? a koe e whakarihariha na ki nga whakapakoko, e tahae ana ranei koe i nga mea o nga temepara?
23 Thou that gloriest in the Lawe, through breaking the Lawe, dishonourest thou God?
A koe e whakamanamana na ki te ture, kei te whakaiti ranei koe i te Atua i te mea ka takahi koe i te ture?
24 For ye Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
Na koutou hoki i kohukohua ai te ingoa o te Atua i roto i nga Tauiwi, i peratia ai me te mea kua oti te tuhituhi.
25 For circucision verely is profitable, if thou do the Lawe: but if thou be a transgressour of the Lawe, thy circumcision is made vncircumcision.
E whai tikanga ana hoki te kotinga, ki te mahia e koe te ture: tena ki te takahi koe i te ture, ka riro tou kotinga hei kotingakore.
26 Therefore if the vncircumcision keepe the ordinances of the Lawe, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Na ki te mau i te kotingakore nga tikanga o te ture, e kore ianei tona kotingakore e kiia hei kotinga?
27 And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature (if it keepe the Lawe) condemne thee which by the letter and circumcision art a transgressour of the Lawe?
A, ki te rite te ture i te mea kihai i kotia maoritia, e kore ianei ia e whakahe i a koe, e whiwhi na ki te kupu tuhituhi me te kotinga, i a koe e takahi na i te ture?
28 For hee is not a Iewe, which is one outwarde: neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Ehara hoki i te Hurai te mea ko waho noa iho tona ahua Hurai; ehara ano i te kotinga te mea no waho, no te kikokiko.
29 But he is a Iewe which is one within, and the circumcision is of the heart, in the spirite not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Engari he Hurai ia, no roto tona ahua Hurai; a ko te kotinga, no te ngakau, he mea wairua, he teka na te kupu tuhituhi; ehara hoki i te mea e whakamoemititia ana e te tangata, engari e te Atua.
