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].
Nantele sagauhwiuzizye, awe wologa eshi hwagala golonga owenje ahwibheshele mnyobho mnyabho mwene. Huje awe wolonga obhomba enongwa zizila.
2 We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly [non-Jewish] people who do such [evil] things.
Nantele timenye huje olonzi owa Ngolobhe welyoli hwa bhala bhabha bhomba aminza gabho.
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]
Eshi awe sebha eli wolongo bhala bhabha bhomba enongwa nashi ezye nawe obhomba embombo zyezyo. Eshi obhohwiyefwe hulonzi wa Ngolobhe?
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]
Huje osebha hashesana huwiji we winza wakwe, akhabhile humayemba gakwe naji mbizye hwakwe? Eshi saga omenye aje owinza wakwe uhwanzi wa hulanganyizye hu ndambo?
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.
Nantele shohweli okhome wemwoyo gwaho ogaje lole edambo ohibhishela wewe eshanga eshemayemba hwisikulila elyemaye mba, nantele, isiku lila elye kwinkule owelenzi owelyoli wa Ngolobhe.
6 God will pay back everyone according to [what they deserve for] what they have done.
Omwene aihuposhezya kila mtu eshipimilo eshalengane ne mbombo zyakwe:
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)
hwa bhala bhabhali lyoli hu mbombo enyinza nanganyishe bhaibhapela owomi wewilawila. (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].
Nantele hwabhala bhali bhene, bhaseyogopa elyoli nantele bhayogopa ezuluma, ilyoyo nekuni ehali ehainya.
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.
Ongolobhe aitaleta etabu na malabha hu kila nafusi zya bhatu yabhombila amabhibhi, hwa Muyahudi owahwande no Muyunani nantele.
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.
Eshi ensombo, neshishi no winza waihwenza kwa shila mtu yabhomba enyinza, hwa Muyahudi hwande na hwa Muyunani nantele.
11 God [will do this fairly], because people’s status does not influence him.
Huje nahumo apendelele hwa Ngolobhe.
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.
Huje nashi abhinji bhabhalulila pasepali ne shelia bhanzateje pasepali ne shelia, nantele nashi abhinji bhabhatulile alengane ne shelia bhailongwa hu shelia.
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).
Huje sebhahovwa edajizyo bhali nelyoli hwitagalila lwa Ngolobhe, nantele bhabhala bhabhaibhomba edajizyo bhaibhaziwa hu haki.
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].
Huje abhatu bhase Bhaputa bhaseli nedajizyo, bhabhomba hushikalilo embombo ezye ndajizyo zyabho, bhagalushe ndajizyo humoyo gabho, nantele abhene sagabhali nedajizyo.
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].
Hweli balolesya aje embombo zyazi hwanziwa hu mijibu owe ndajizyo zisimbwilwe muhati mmoyo gabho. Ezamili zyabho zisumula aje, ne jele zyabho bhibho aje bhashitakiwa au zibhalinda abhene bhebho
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.
nantele hwa Ngolobhe. Ega gafumila hwi siku elya Ongolobhe paizilonga esili ezya bhatu bhoti, sawasawa nedombelelo zyane, hwi tawa elya Yesu Kilisiti.
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.
Tiyanje aje ohwikwizya wewe Muyahudi, yakheye yu dajizyo, shima ahwisombe hwa Ngolobhe,
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.
manya ogane wakwe, na genye gala gase gabhalilana nago, baada yala jiziwenendajizyo.
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].
Eshi tiyanye aje olijivi wewe hu mwenee olilongozi wabhasebhalola apazelu hwabhala bhabahli hukisi,
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].
yasahihiswa alema, omwalimu wabhana nahuje oliyo huje edajizyo ezyemanyizu awe lyoli.
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]
Awe basi, wuhugajila aweje, sahwimanyizya wewe? Wulombelela aje mugaje hwibhe awe sohwibha?
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]
Awe oiga, muganjebhebhegu? Awe, wovitwa eshilolesyo eshi, ohwibha mwi kanisa?
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!
Awe wohwisovya hu ndajizyo, eshi sokenyensyewa na Ngolobhe huje onagenye endajizyo?
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.
Hwa huje “itawa elya Ngolobhe likenyesewa hwa bhatu bhasebhaputa ashile hulimwe,” nashisesibwilwe.
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.
Awe atahilwe lyoli shinza nkoyogope edajizyo nantele nkashile awe oligalugalu wedajizyo, atahilwe hwaho hubhaje sotahiliwe.
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]
Eshi, nkashele, omtu yasagatahilwe ahwendelela akhate amazu age dajizyo, eshi asintetahiliwe kwakwe sehwaiye jelwa huje atahiliwe?
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.
Wope yasatahiliwe hushikulilo sagadahulonje nkashele abhatimizye edajizyo? Ene hwa huje olinesimbo zyazisimbwilwe ne tohala huje osele ali galuhani hudajizyo!
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].
Nantele omwene saga Muyahudi yali huhali eya hwonze; hubhe hutahilwe sagahwahula wahuli hwahwonze wene hu humbele.
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.
Nantele omwene Muyahudi yalimhati, ne tohala eyaha muvoyo, hu fijili. Saga hunsimbo esombo ezya mtu owe sho sagafumila hwa bhatu gafuma hwa Ngolobhe.
