Romans 2
1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, doest the same things.
Choncho, iwe amene umaweruza munthu wina, ulibe pokanira pakuti nthawi iliyonse pamene uweruza wina ukudzitsutsa wekha chifukwa iwe amene umaweruzawe umachitanso zinthu zomwezo.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who commit such things.
Tsopano ife tikudziwa kuti chiweruzo cha Mulungu, chotsutsa amene amachita zinthu zotere, nʼchokhazikika pa choonadi.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them who do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Kodi ukuganiza kuti udzathawa chiweruzo cha Mulungu iwe munthu wamba, pamene uweruza ena, iwe ndi kumachitanso zomwezo?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Kodi kapena ukupeputsa kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu, kuleza mtima kwake ndi kupirira kwake? Kodi sukuzindikira kuti kukoma mtima kwakeko, nʼkofuna kuti iweyo ulape machimo ako?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath, and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Koma pakuti ndiwe wosamvera ndi wa mtima wosafuna kulapa, ukudzisungira chilango pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Mulungu, pamene chiweruzo cholungama cha Mulungu chidzaonetsedwa.
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Mulungu adzabwezera aliyense molingana ndi ntchito zake.
7 To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
Iye adzapereka moyo wosatha kwa amene amafunafuna ulemerero, ulemu ndi moyo pochita ntchito zabwino mopirira. (aiōnios g166)
8 But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness; indignation and wrath:
Koma Mulungu adzakhuthulira mkwiyo ndi ukali wake pa amene amachita zofuna zawo ndi kukana choonadi nʼkumatsatira zoyipa.
9 Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Masautso ndi zowawa zidzagwera munthu aliyense amene amachita zonyansa, kuyambira Myuda kenaka anthu a mitundu ina.
10 But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile;
Koma ulemerero, ulemu ndi mtendere zidzakhala kwa aliyense amene amachita zabwino, kuyambira Myuda kenaka anthu a mitundu ina.
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
Pajatu Mulungu alibe tsankho.
12 For as many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law, shall be judged by the law,
Onse amene amachimwa osadziwa Malamulo, adzawonongeka ngakhale kuti sadziwa Malamulowo. Ndipo onse amene amachimwa akudziwa Malamulo adzaweruzidwa potsata Malamulowo.
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Pakuti si amene amangomva Malamulo amene amakhala wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu, koma ndi okhawo amene amachita zili mʼMalamulomo amene adzatchedwa olungama.
14 For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these having not the law, are a law to themselves.
Ndithu, pamene a mitundu ina, amene alibe Malamulo, koma mwachikhalidwe chawo amachita zimene zili mʼMalamulo, iwowo ndi Malamulo pa iwo okha, ngakhale kuti alibe Malamulowo.
15 Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing testimony, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing, or else excusing one another)
Ntchito zawo zimaonetsa kuti Malamulowo alembedwa mʼmitima mwawo. Chikumbumtima chawonso chimawachitira umboni pakuti maganizo awo amawatsutsa kapena kuwavomereza.
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
Izi zidzachitika pa tsiku limene Mulungu adzaweruza zinsinsi za anthu kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu, monga momwe Uthenga wanga Wabwino unenera.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
Koma iweyo, amene umadzitcha kuti ndiwe Myuda, umadalira Malamulo, ndipo umanyadira ubale wako ndi Mulungu,
18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
ngati umadziwa chifuniro chake, ndi kudziwa zoyenera kuchita chifukwa unaphunzitsidwa ndi Malamulo;
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,
ngati umadziwadi kuti ndiwe mtsogoleri wa osaona, nyale yowunikira amene ali mu mdima,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge, and of the truth in the law:
mlangizi wa anthu opusa, mphunzitsi wa makanda, chifukwa umadziwa kuti mʼMalamulo uli nayo nzeru yonse ndi choonadi,
21 Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
tsono, iwe amene umaphunzitsa ena, sudziphunzitsa wekha kodi? Kodi iwe amene umalalikira kuti anthu asabe, umabanso?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Kodi iwe amene umanena kuti anthu asachite chigololo, umachitanso chigololo? Kodi iwe amene umanyasidwa ndi mafano, umalandanso za mʼnyumba zopembedzera mafanowo?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?
Kodi iwe amene umadzitama ndi Malamulo, umamuchititsa manyazi Mulungu posamvera Malamulowo?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written.
Monga kwalembedwa, “Dzina la Mulungu likuchitidwa chipongwe pakati pa a mitundu ina chifukwa cha inu.”
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Mdulidwe umakhala ndi phindu ngati usunga Malamulo, koma ngati sumvera Malamulo, iweyo umakhala ngati kuti sunachite mdulidwe.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Ngati amene sanachite mdulidwe achita zomwe zili mʼMalamulo, kodi sadzatengedwa ngati ochita mdulidwe?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfilleth the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Munthu amene sanachite mdulidwe mʼthupi koma amamvera Malamulo adzakutsutsa iwe wosamvera Malamulowe, ngakhale kuti uli nawo Malamulo olembedwawo.
28 For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Myuda weniweni si amene angooneka ngati Myuda pamaso pa anthu, ndipo mdulidwe weniweni si umene umangochitika mʼthupi pamaso pa anthu.
29 But he [is] a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not from men, but from God.
Ayi, Myuda weniweni ndi amene ali Myuda mu mtima mwake, ndipo mdulidwe weniweni ndi wa mtima, wochitika ndi Mzimu, osati ndi malamulo olembedwa. Woyamikira munthu wotere ndi Mulungu, osati anthu ayi.
