Romans 2

1 [God will severely punish non-Jewish people who habitually do evil things, because he has clearly revealed that he is angry with them]. So, [when God judges people], he will not excuse any one of you Jews [to whom I am writing]. You [(sg)] say that [God should] punish [non-Jews for doing evil things]. But when any one of you says that, it is you yourself whom you are saying that God should punish, because you [(sg)] do [some of] the same [evil] things [that the non-Jews do].

E'ina hu'negu tamagra antahisazana rumo'za haviza hu'naze hutma refko huzmante gahazanagi, tamagranena anahukna hutma havi vahe mani'nazankitma mago'a kea osugahaze. Tamagrama rumokizamigu'ma havi vahe mani'nazanki'za zamata erigahaze hutama huzmantesazana, tamagranena anahukna hu'nazankino, tamagri'enena anazanke hurmantegahie. Na'ankure rumofoma refko nehamoka, kagranena ana hukna hu'nane.

2 We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly [non-Jewish] people who do such [evil] things.

Hagi antahi'none, Anumzamo'a fatgo avu'avazanteti, iza'o anazama hania vahera refko huno knazana amigahie.

3 So, you who [say God should punish] others for doing evil things yet you do evil things yourself, (you should certainly not think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God!/do you think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God?) [RHQ]

Kagra rumozama anazama hazana refko hunezmantananki, nahigenka kagra zamagrikna hunananki, Anumzamo'ma refko huzmantesnifintira agateregahue hunka nehane?

4 And you should not say, “God is acting very tolerantly and patiently toward me, [so I do not need to stop sinning] [DOU].” (You should realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior!/Do you not realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior?) [RHQ]

Kagra nonkano knaza amunanagi knarezantfa huno agazone huneranteno, akoheranteno mani Anumzamo'ma kagri'enema mani'neana? E'i anazamo'a kagritera amneza me'nefi? Kagra nonkano knare'ma hunegantenoma kumipinti'ma kagu'a rukrahema hananegu'ma knama kaminoma ne-eazankura nontahino?

5 But instead, by your stubbornly refusing to turn away from your sinful behavior [DOU], you are causing [MET] God to punish you even more severely. [He will do that] at the time when he shows that he is angry and judges people fairly.

Hianagi krimpa'mo hankavetigenka kumimofoma kamagena humizankura kavenosie. E'i kagra'a, kefoza huno havizantfa hu'nea mizama erisana mizanka'a eri atru nehane. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a rimpahe kna ne-enkino fatgo hunoma refako huzama'a erinte'ama hugahie.

6 God will pay back everyone according to [what they deserve for] what they have done.

Anumzamo'a zmavu'zamavama nehanaza avamente, magoke magokemofona mizana amitere hugahie.

7 [Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)

Iza'zo knare zamuzma huvava hu'za nevu'za, ra zamagima erisagu nehake'za, himamu hankave erisigu nehake'za, haviza osniazanku nehakesamokizmia, Anumzamo manivava zmasimura zamigahie. (aiōnios g166)

8 But some people act in a selfish way and refuse to believe that [what God says is] true, and they do the things that [God says] are wrong. [God will] punish them very severely [DOU, MTY].

Hu'neanagi Agra rimpa he'zana rukaha hutresigeno, iza'zoma zamagraguke nentahiza, tamage ke'mofo amage'ante zanku zamagena hunemiza, kefo avu'ava nehanaza vahete egahie.

9 He will cause everyone who habitually does evil deeds to suffer greatly, [with the result that they will become severely] distressed [DOU]. This certainly will happen to the Jews [who refuse to accept God’s message, because God gave them the privilege to be his special people], but it will also happen to the non-Jews.

Kefoza huno havizantfa hu'nea knazamo, kefozama huvava hu'za nevanaza vahetera egahie. Esera Jiu vahete eteno, anahukna huno megi'a vahete enena egahie.

10 But [God will] greatly reward spiritually [MET, DOU] every person who habitually does good deeds. He will [certainly] do this for the Jews [because God chose them as his special people], but he will also do it for the non-Jews.

Hu'neanagi masanentake avasesezama, ragi eri'zama, rimpa fruzana makama knare'zama nehaza vahe Anumzamo'a zamigahie. Esera Jiu vahe zamiteno, anantera anahukna huno megi'a vahera zamigahie.

11 God [will do this fairly], because people’s status does not influence him.

Na'ankure Anumzamo'a magoke mofonkuke osuno, fatgo avesizanteti ana miko vahera refko nehie.

12 Although [non-Jews do not have] the laws that [God gave to Moses], all [non-Jews] who sin will be eternally separated from God. He will [not consider whether or not they knew] the laws that he [gave to Moses]. And all the [Jews] who have sinned in spite of knowing the laws that [God gave to Moses will also be punished] {[God will also punish them]}. [They will be punished for disobeying] God’s laws.

Na'ankure megi'a vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasege krenteneana ontahine'za kumira hugahazanagi, zamahe fanene hugahie. Jiu vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasege eri'naza vahe'mo'zama kumi'ma hanazana, ana kasegereti refkoa huzmanteno knazana zamigahie.

13 [It is right for them to be punished] {[God to punish them]} [because] it is not those who [merely] know God’s laws whom he considers to be righteous. On the contrary, it is only those who continually have obeyed [all] (of [God’s] laws/of the laws that [God gave to Moses]) (whom God will consider righteous/whose record of sins God will erase).

Hu'negu kasegema antahike'zama nehamo'za, Anumzamofo avurera fatgo osu'naze. Hianagi kasegema amage nentaza vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo avufina fatgoa hu'naze.

14 Whenever the non-Jews, who do not have the laws [God gave to Moses], naturally obey those laws, [they prove that] they have a law within their own minds, even though they do not have the laws [God gave to Moses].

Na'ankure megi'a vahe'mo'za Anumzamofo kasegema krente'neana e'orinazanagi, zamagra zamagu'afina ko havizanki knarezanki hu'za nentahi'za amage'nentaze.

15 They show that they know in their own minds what God [commands in his] laws [MET], as each person in his very own conscience either accuses or excuses/defends himself [concerning his own behavior].

E'inahu'ma hazazamo zamagrira Anumzamofo kasegema zamagu'afi krenteneana erinteama nehaze. Ana hu'negu zamagra zamagu'afi nentahizageno, antahintahiza'zmimo'a zamasamino, knare'za nehazanki haviza nehazanki huno nezmasamie.

16 God [will punish people] at the time when he will judge them according to what they have thought and done. He will judge them [even] for the things that they have done secretly. He will judge people by [authorizing] Christ Jesus [to judge them]. This is [what I tell people when] I preach the gospel to them.

Hagi mago kna ne-enkino Anumzamo'a Jisas Kraisimpi ana miko vahe'mofo oku'a antahintahizmia refko hugahie. Ama Knare Musenkemo hu'nea kante neramasamue.

17 [Now I have something to say to any one of] you [Jews to whom I am writing]: You [(sg)] boast about yourself saying, “I am a Jew.” You [(sg)] trust [that God will save you because you possess] the laws [that he gave to Moses]. You boast that [you belong to] God.

Hianagi tamagra Jiu vahe mani'none nehutma, Anumzamofo kasegemofonte mani'neta, Anumzamo'ene tragoteta mani'none hutma tamagra tamavufa erisaga nehaze.

18 You know what God desires. Because you have been taught {[people] have taught you} [God’s] laws, you are able to know which things are right and to choose to do them.

Tamagra Agri'ma avesi'nea zana inazamo fatgo hune ko antahi'naze. Na'ankure agri kasegema korapa rempi huramigeta antahi'naze.

19 You are certain that you [are able to] show [God’s truth to non-Jews], as guides [show the road] to those who are blind [MET]. You are certain that by what you say you can show God’s way to the [non-Jews who do not understand it], as a light shows the way to [those who walk in] the darkness [MET, DOU].

Tamagra zamavu asuhu vahe'mokizmi kama zamaveri nehuta, hanimpima mani'naza vahe'mokizmi tavi mani'none huta nehaza zankura, knare'za nehune hutma nehaze.

20 [You are certain that you] can instruct/correct [non-Jews, whom you consider] foolish [because of their not understanding God’s message]. Because you have in [God’s] laws a [written] expression of true knowledge [HEN], you are certain that you can teach [people who, being like] children, do not know [God’s truth] [MET].

Tamagra tamagesama antahizana vahe'mo'zama neginagi avu'avazama nehaza vahe'mokizmi kana zamaveri nehune nehuta, mofavremokizmi Anumzamofo kana rempi hunezamune huta nehaze. Na'ankure Anumzamofo kasegefina, knare antahi'zane tamage'zana antahi vagare'none huta nentahize.

21 [Since you claim that you have all these advantages because you are a Jew], (it is disgusting that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach!/why is it that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach?) [RHQ] You who preach that people should not steal things, it is disgusting that you yourself steal things! [RHQ]

Tamagrama vahe'mokizmi rempi hunezamita, hagi nahigeta tamagra'a rempi huta nontahize? Tamagra musufa oseho huta nezmasamize. Hianagi tamagra'a musufa nosazo?

22 You who command people not to have sexual relations with someone to whom they are not married, it is disgusting that you commit adultery yourself! [RHQ] You who detest idols, it is disgusting that you rob temples [where people worship idols]! [RHQ]

Tamagra ru venenene anene monkoza osiho huta nehazanagi, tamagra'a anazana nosazo? Tamagra havi anumzante mono huonteho nehuta, mono nozmifintira kumzafa nosazo?

23 You who boast saying, “[I have God’s] laws,” it is disgusting that you disobey those same laws! [RHQ] As a result you are insulting God!

Tamagra kasegema antahi'naza zankura tamufga erisaga nehaze. Hu'neanagi kasegema rutagrazana Anumzamofona ra agi eri haviza nehaze.

24 [You must not be like our ancestors, about whom] were written [these words in the Scriptures: ] “The non-Jews speak evil about God because of [the evil actions of] many of you [Jews].” The non-Jews say God must be a hypocrite if he condones the behavior of people like you.

Na'ankure avontafepima hu'neana, Megi'a vahe'mo'zama Anumzamofo agima huhavizama nehazana, na'ankure tamagrama haza avu'ava zante anahu kea nehaze hu'ne. (Ais 52:5, Izik 36:20.)

25 Any one of you who [is] circumcised [to show that he belongs to God] can benefit from that if he obeys the laws [God gave to Moses]. But if you [(sg), a circumcised person], disobey [God’s] laws, [God will consider that] you who are circumcised are no better [in God’s sight] than [someone who is] not circumcised.

Na'ankure Jiu vahe'motma tavufga tgahu tamavutamava zamo'ma knare'ma hanie hanutma, kasegemofo amagema antesageno'e. Hianagi kasegema rutagrenageno'a tamavufga taga nehaza tamavutamavazamo'a amne'zankna hugahie.

26 This means that God will certainly consider that even [non-Jews who are] not circumcised can become his people if they obey the things that he commanded in his laws. [RHQ]

Hagi megi'a vahe'mo'za zamavufaga taga osune'za, Anumzamofo kasegema amagema'antesazana, zamufga taga osu'naza zamo'a zamufga tgahu vahekna hugahaze.

27 [If any one of] you disobeys God’s laws, even though [you(sg) have] the Scriptures and even though someone has circumcised you {you are circumcised} [God will punish you]. And those people who are not circumcised, but who obey God’s laws, [will declare that God is right] when he says that he will punish you.

Tamage amega avufga taga osu, megi'a vahepinti iza'o Anumzamofo kasege amagema antesimo, Jiu vahe oku tamavufga taga hu'nesaza vahe'mota Anumzamofo kasege amage nontesaza vahe'motagu keagafi manigahaze hu'za hurmantegahaze.

28 It is not those who perform rituals [to show they are God’s people] who are [true] Jews, and it is not being circumcised in their bodies [that causes God to accept them] [MTY].

Hu'negu tamagra tamage Jiu vahera omani'naze. Na'ankure Jiu vahe'mo'zama kaseneramante'za oku tamavufga tgama huramante'naza zamo'a tamazeri Jiu vahera ose'ne.

29 On the contrary, we whom [God has changed] inwardly are [true] Jews [MTY]. And [God has accepted us because we have allowed God’s] Spirit to change our hearts, not because we perform rituals. Even if [other] people will not praise us [for that change], God will praise us.
