Romans 2
1 THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, even every one that judgeth: for in the very thing wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest art living in the practices of the same things.
Gwe anenya omuntu omulala, okola ebibi bye bimu ne by’onenyeza omuntu oyo. Kyonoova olema okubeera n’eky’okuwoza, kubanga bw’okola bw’otyo, weesalira wekka omusango.
2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth, against those who practise such things.
Naye kaakano, tumanyi nga Katonda mutuufu okunenya abo abakola ebiri ng’ebyo.
3 For thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest those who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Naye ggwe omuntu obuntu, akola ebiri ng’ebyo, kyokka n’onenya abantu abalala, olowooza nga Katonda alikuleka?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his kindness and patience and long-suffering, ignorant that this goodness of God is leading thee to repentance?
Oba onyooma ekisa kya Katonda ekingi, n’okugumiikiriza kwe n’obukwatampola bwe? Tomanyi ng’ekisa kya Katonda kikuleeta mu kwenenya?
5 But after thy obdurate and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath at the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
Naye olw’obukakanyavu bwo n’omutima oguteenenya, weeterekera ekiruyi ku lunaku lw’ekiruyi n’okubikkulirwa, Katonda lw’alisalirako omusango ogw’obutuukirivu.
6 who will recompense to every man according to his works;
Katonda aliwa buli omu empeera esaanira ebikolwa bye.
7 to those who, in the patient practice of good works, seek glory and honour and immortality―eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Aliwa obulamu obutaggwaawo abo abaakola obulungi, nga balina essuubi ery’okuweebwa ekitiibwa, ettendo n’obulamu obw’emirembe n’emirembe. (aiōnios g166)
8 But to those who are of a contentious spirit, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation, and wrath;
Naye abo abeenoonyeza ebyabwe, abajeemera amazima nga bagondera obutali butuukirivu, kiriba kiruyi na busungu.
9 tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth wickedness, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek.
Walibaawo ennaku n’okubonaabona ku buli mmeeme y’omuntu akola ebibi, okusookera ku Muyudaaya n’oluvannyuma ku Munnaggwanga.
10 But glory and honour and peace be to every man who doeth that which is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek:
Naye ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’emirembe biriba ku buli akola ebituufu, okusookera ku Muyudaaya n’oluvannyuma ku Munnaggwanga.
11 for there is no acceptance of persons with God.
Kubanga Katonda tasosola mu bantu.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law, shall perish also without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
Abo bonna abaayonoona olw’obutamanya mateeka, balizikirira; era n’abo bonna abaamanya amateeka ne boonoona, bwe batyo bwe balisalirwa omusango, okusinziira mu Mateeka.
13 for the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be counted righteous;
Kuba abawulira obuwulizi amateeka, si be bejjeerera eri Katonda, wabula abo abakola bye galagira, be baliweebwa obutuukirivu.
14 (for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves:
Abaamawanga abatalina mateeka bwe bakolera mu buzaaliranwa ebintu eby’Amateeka, ebintu ebyo byennyini bifuuka amateeka gye bali, newaakubadde ng’Amateeka tegaabaweebwa.
15 which exhibit the practice of the law written on their hearts, their conscience also bearing its testimony, and their mutual reasonings at intervals bringing accusations or forming excuses; )
Ekyo kiraga ng’Amateeka gawandiikibbwa mu mitima gyabwe, era kikakasa munda mu birowoozo byabwe, ng’emitima gyabwe giribasaliriza omusango oba okubejjeereza okusinziira ku ekyo kye bamanyi.
16 in the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, according to my gospel by Jesus Christ.
Kino kiribaawo ku lunaku Katonda kw’aliramulira abantu olw’ebyo bye baakisa, ng’enjiri yange bw’eri ku bwa Yesu Kristo.
17 Lo! thou art named a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest in God,
Abamu ku mmwe mweyita Bayudaaya. Mwesiga amateeka ne mwewaana nga bwe mumanyi Katonda.
18 and knowest the will of God, and bringest to the test the things that are different, being instructed out of the law;
Bwe musoma ebyawandiikibwa muyiga engeri Katonda gy’ayagala mweyise ne muzuula ekituufu.
19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness,
Mukakasa nga bwe muli abakulembeze b’abazibe b’amaaso, era ettabaaza eri abo bonna abali mu kizikiza.
20 an instructor of the uninformed, a teacher of babes, holding the form of knowledge and of truth in the law.
Naye olwokubanga, amateeka ga Katonda gatuwa amagezi n’amazima, mulowooza muyinza okuyigiriza abatali bagezi n’abaana abato.
21 Thou therefore who teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that proclaimest aloud that a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Kale ggwe ayigiriza abalala, lwaki toyinza kweyigiriza wekka? Ategeeza abalala obutabba, tobba?
22 thou that sayest, Do not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that holdest idols in abomination, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Ategeeza obutayenda, toyenda? Akyawa ebifaananyi, si ggwe onyaga eby’omu masabo?
23 thou who gloriest in the law, dishonourest thou God by the transgression of the law?
Mwenyumiririza mu mateeka, naye ne muswaza Katonda olw’obutagatuukiriza.
24 for the name of God is blasphemed through you among the heathen, as it is written.
Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Olw’ebikolwa byammwe ebyo, erinnya lya Katonda kyelivudde livvoolebwa mu mawanga.”
25 For circumcision indeed is advantageous, if thou practise the law: but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision becomes uncircumcision,
Okukomolebwa kugasiza ddala bw’okwata amateeka, naye bw’otagatuukiriza tewaba njawulo wakati wo n’atali mukomole.
26 If then the uncircumcision observe the righteous judgments of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted for circumcision?
Kale obanga atali mukomole akwata amateeka, talibalibwa ng’eyakomolebwa?
27 And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law.
Noolwekyo ataakomolebwa mu buzaaliranwa naye ng’akuuma amateeka, alikusaliza omusango gwe alina amateeka amawandiike n’otagatuukiriza ate nga wakomolebwa.
28 For not he who is outwardly such, is the Jew; neither is that which is outward in the flesh, circumcision.
Okweyisa ng’Omuyudaaya ate nga wakomolebwa, tekikufuula Muyudaaya yennyini.
29 But he is a Jew who is such inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
Okuba Omuyudaaya yennyini oteekwa okugondera amateeka. Okukomolebwa okutuufu kwe kukomolebwa okubaawo mu mutima, so si okw’omubiri. Omuntu ng’oyo atenderezebwa Katonda, so si abantu.
