Romans 2
1 Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.
Akaako tokwe chikachizyo, iwe muntu, iwe nuubeteka, nkaambo nchobeteka muli umwi mulinduwe ulalipa mulandu.
2 And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.
Pele tulizi kuti lubeta lwaLeza lweendelana akasimpe na lwawida aali baabo bachita zintu zili boobu.
3 And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt 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 despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 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 after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself 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 render to every man according to his works:
Uyooboozya kumuntu woonse mbuli mumachitlo aakwe:
7 to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
kulibaabo bachita kabotu chabusungu akuyanduula bulumbu, kulemekwa, alimwi akutafwa, uyoopa buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)
8 but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,
Pele aabo balichitila zyabo, bataswiilili simpe pesle balaswiilila kutalulama, lunyemo abukali bupati buyosika kulimbabo.
9 tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;
Leza uyoyeta mapenzi amafwabi kumuuya wamuntu woonse wakachita bubi, kubaJuda lutaanzi, alimwi akubaGiliki.
10 but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh 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 respect of persons with God.
Nkaambo takwe kusaluulana pe kwaLeza.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned under law shall be judged by law;
Nkaambo mbuli biingi mbubakabisya kakutakwe mulawu bayoofwa alubo kakutakwe mulawu, alimwi mbuli biingi mbubakabisya mumulawu, bayoobetekwa mumulawu.
13 for not the hearers of a law are just before God, but the doers of a law shall be justified:
Nkaambo tensi basikumvwa mulawu mbibaluleme kunembo lyaLeza, pele mbaasikuchita batakalulamikwe.
14 for when Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law unto themselves;
Nkaambo aawo baMaasi, batakwe mulawu, bo, mulawu kulilwabo beni, nikuba tabakwe mulawu.
15 in that they shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [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 shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
alimwi akuliLeza. Eezyo ziyochitikana mubuzuba aawo Leza natakabeteke nsiswa zyabantu boonse, mbuli muvangeli lyangu, kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito.
17 But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,
Na kolyaamba kuti uli muJuda, kala aatala aamulawu, botelwa chakulikankayizya muli Leza,
18 and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
ziba luyando lwakwe, mpawo sala zisiyene kkuyigwa mulawu, koli walayililwa amulawu.
19 and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,
Alimwi koli aalusinizyo kuti nduwe sikuzulwida boofu, mumuni kuibaabo bali mumudima,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;
muzyotololi wabafubafuba, muyisi wabaniini, alimwi koli aaluzibo akaasimpe kamulawu.
21 thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Iwe, lino, noomuyisi wabamwi, toliyiisyi na we nomwini? Nywebo nimukambawuka kuti mutaabbi, mulabba na?
22 thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?
Nywebo nimwaamba kuti utachiti mamambi, mulachita mamambi na? Nywebo nimusesemwa mitumi, mulabbida matempele na?
23 thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonourest thou God?
Nywebo nimulikankayizya mumulawu, mulamusampawula na Leza kwiinda mukusotoka mulawu?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.
Nkaambo, “izina lya Leza liluubisigwa aakati kabaMaasi akaambo kenu,” mbuli mbuzyakalembwa.
25 For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.
Nkaambo kupalulwa kuleempindu kulinduwe na waswiilizya mulawu, pele na koli sikusotoka mulawu, bupalulwe bwako ngabwaba kutapalulwa.
26 If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?
Na, limo, muntu uutapalwidwe wabanya ziyandwa aamulawu, kutapalulwa kwakwe takukoyooboneka mbuli bupalulwe na?
27 and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art 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, which 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, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Pele muJuda ooyo uuli aabwamukati, alimwi abupalulwe bwamumoyo, mu Muya, pe pe mumalembe. Bulumbo bwamuntu uuliboobu tabuzwi kumuntu pe pesi kuliLeza.
