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.

Ko ia, ʻe tangata, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻe ʻikai te ke hao koe: he ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke fakamaau ai ha taha, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ai koe; he ko koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.

2 Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.

Ka ʻoku tau ʻilo pau ʻoku taau mo e fai totonu ʻae fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.

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?

Pea ko koe, ʻe tangata, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ka ʻoku ke fai pehē pe ʻe koe, ʻoku ke mahalo te ke hao koe mei he fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua?

4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Pe ʻoku ke loto manuki ki he lahi faufau ʻo ʻene angalelei, mo e faʻa kātaki, mo e kātaki ʻofa; ʻo ʻikai te ke ʻilo ko e angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ko e meʻa ke tataki koe ki he fakatomala?

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;

Ka ʻi ho loto fefeka mo e taʻefakatomala, ʻoku ke fokotuʻu ai maʻau ʻae houhau ki he ʻaho ʻoe houhau, mo e fakahā ʻoe fakamaau totonu ʻae ʻOtua;

6 who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

‌ʻAia te ne ʻatu ai ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue:

7 to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)

Ko e moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki he ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e moʻui taʻemate, ʻi he fakakukafi maʻuaipē ʻi he fai lelei: (aiōnios g166)

8 But to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,

Ka ko e mamahi mo e houhau kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu, pea ʻikai talangofua ki he moʻoni, kae talangofua ki he taʻemāʻoniʻoni,

9 affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Ko e tautea mo e feinga ki he laumālie ʻoe tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki;

10 But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Ka ko e ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e fiemālie, ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lelei, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki:

11 For there is no partiality with God.

He ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ha filifilimānako ki he tangata.

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.

He ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala taʻehafono, ʻe ʻauha foki taʻehafono: pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala kuo ai ʻae fono, ʻe fakamaau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae fono;

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.

(He ʻoku ʻikai tonuhia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae kau fanongo ki he fono, ka ko e kau fai ki he fono ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi.

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,

Koeʻuhi ʻi he fai mei honau loto ʻe he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he fono, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fono, pea ko kinautolu ni ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻae fono, ko e fono ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu:

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,

‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fono kuo tohi tongi ʻi honau konsenisi, pea fakamoʻoni mo honau loto foki, pea ʻoku fakahalaʻi pe fakatonuhiaʻi [ʻakinautolu ]ʻe [heʻenau ngaahi ]fakakaukau; )

16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.

‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fakamaau ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻi he kakai, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku ongoongolelei.

17 But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,

Vakai, ʻoku ui koe ko e Siu, pea ʻoku ke falala ki he fono, pea ʻoku ke vikiviki ʻi he ʻOtua,

18 and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo hono finangalo, pea ʻoku ke faʻa ʻiloʻi mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai kehekehe, he kuo akonekina koe mei he fono;

19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

Pea ʻoku ke pole ko e tataki ʻoe kui, ko e maama kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli.

20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

Ko e fakahinohino ʻoe vale, ko e akonaki ʻoe kau valevale, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ʻilo mo e moʻoni ʻi he fono.

21 You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

Ko ia ko koe ʻoku ke akonakiʻi ʻae taha kehe, ʻOku ʻikai te ke akonakiʻi koe? Ko koe ʻoku ke malanga “Ke ʻoua naʻa kaihaʻa,” ʻoku ke kaihaʻa ʻe koe?

22 You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

Ko koe ʻoku ke pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tono fefine,” ʻoku [moʻoni]?

23 You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?

Ko koe ʻoku ke vikiviki ki he fono, ʻikai ʻoku ke fakaongokoviʻi ʻe koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo maumauʻi ʻae fono?

24 For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just as it is written.

He ko e meʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lauʻikovi ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he kakai Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi.

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.

He ʻoku ʻaonga moʻoni ʻae kamu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke fai ki he fono: pea kapau ʻoku ke kei maumauʻi ʻae fono, ʻoku liliu ai hoʻo kamu ko e taʻekamu.

26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?

Ko ia kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻae anga māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono, ʻikai ʻe lau ai ʻene taʻekamu ko e kamu?

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?

Pea kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻaia ko ʻetau anga pē, ʻikai te ne fakamaauʻi koe, ʻa koe ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae tohi mo e kamu, ka ʻoku ke maumauʻi pē ʻae fono?

28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

He ʻoku ʻikai ko e Siu, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻituʻa pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kamu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he kakano:

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.

Ka ko e Siu ia, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻi loto; pea ko e kamu ʻoku ʻoe loto ia, ʻi he laumālie, kae ʻikai ʻi he tohi; pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he kakai hono fakamālō, ka mei he ʻOtua.
