Romans 2
1 Therefore you are without excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
Akaako tokwe chikachizyo, iwe muntu, iwe nuubeteka, nkaambo nchobeteka muli umwi mulinduwe ulalipa mulandu.
2 Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.
Pele tulizi kuti lubeta lwaLeza lweendelana akasimpe na lwawida aali baabo bachita zintu zili boobu.
3 And do you think this, you who judge those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will 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 do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
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 your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Pele nkaambo kakuyuma akutasanduka kwamoyo nkoli kulilondweda bukali mubuzuba bwabukali, nkokuti, buzuba bwakuyubununwa kwalubeta lululeme lwaLeza.
6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"
Uyooboozya kumuntu woonse mbuli mumachitlo aakwe:
7 to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
kulibaabo bachita kabotu chabusungu akuyanduula bulumbu, kulemekwa, alimwi akutafwa, uyoopa buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
8 But to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,
Pele aabo balichitila zyabo, bataswiilili simpe pesle balaswiilila kutalulama, lunyemo abukali bupati buyosika kulimbabo.
9 affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Leza uyoyeta mapenzi amafwabi kumuuya wamuntu woonse wakachita bubi, kubaJuda lutaanzi, alimwi akubaGiliki.
10 But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does 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 partiality with God.
Nkaambo takwe kusaluulana pe kwaLeza.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Nkaambo mbuli biingi mbubakabisya kakutakwe mulawu bayoofwa alubo kakutakwe mulawu, alimwi mbuli biingi mbubakabisya mumulawu, bayoobetekwa mumulawu.
13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
Nkaambo tensi basikumvwa mulawu mbibaluleme kunembo lyaLeza, pele mbaasikuchita batakalulamikwe.
14 For when the non-Jews who do not have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
Nkaambo aawo baMaasi, batakwe mulawu, bo, mulawu kulilwabo beni, nikuba tabakwe mulawu.
15 since they show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them,
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 will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.
alimwi akuliLeza. Eezyo ziyochitikana mubuzuba aawo Leza natakabeteke nsiswa zyabantu boonse, mbuli muvangeli lyangu, kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito.
17 But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,
Na kolyaamba kuti uli muJuda, kala aatala aamulawu, botelwa chakulikankayizya muli Leza,
18 and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
ziba luyando lwakwe, mpawo sala zisiyene kkuyigwa mulawu, koli walayililwa amulawu.
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
Alimwi koli aalusinizyo kuti nduwe sikuzulwida boofu, mumuni kuibaabo bali mumudima,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.
muzyotololi wabafubafuba, muyisi wabaniini, alimwi koli aaluzibo akaasimpe kamulawu.
21 You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
Iwe, lino, noomuyisi wabamwi, toliyiisyi na we nomwini? Nywebo nimukambawuka kuti mutaabbi, mulabba na?
22 You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?
Nywebo nimwaamba kuti utachiti mamambi, mulachita mamambi na? Nywebo nimusesemwa mitumi, mulabbida matempele na?
23 You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?
Nywebo nimulikankayizya mumulawu, mulamusampawula na Leza kwiinda mukusotoka mulawu?
24 For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just as it is written.
Nkaambo, “izina lya Leza liluubisigwa aakati kabaMaasi akaambo kenu,” mbuli mbuzyakalembwa.
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Nkaambo kupalulwa kuleempindu kulinduwe na waswiilizya mulawu, pele na koli sikusotoka mulawu, bupalulwe bwako ngabwaba kutapalulwa.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
Na, limo, muntu uutapalwidwe wabanya ziyandwa aamulawu, kutapalulwa kwakwe takukoyooboneka mbuli bupalulwe na?
27 Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are 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 he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Nkaambo tensi uubanguwe mwinimwnini kuchiwa chaanze; nikuba bupalulwe oobo buli aanze buyo munyama.
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from people, but from God.
Pele muJuda ooyo uuli aabwamukati, alimwi abupalulwe bwamumoyo, mu Muya, pe pe mumalembe. Bulumbo bwamuntu uuliboobu tabuzwi kumuntu pe pesi kuliLeza.
