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.
Yango wana, yo moto oyo osambisaka bato mosusu, ozali na ngambo, ata soki ozali nani; pamba te wana osambisaka bato mosusu, omisambisaka yo moko, mpo ete yo oyo osambisaka bango osalaka mpe kaka makambo yango.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth, against them who commit such things.
Nzokande, toyebi malamu ete Nzambe asambisaka kolanda bosolo bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana.
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?
Boni, okanisi ete okokima kosambisama ya Nzambe, yo oyo osambisaka bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana mpe osalaka makambo yango kaka lokola bango?
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?
To mpe boni, okanisi ete ozali kotiola bomengo ya boboto, ya kokanga motema mpe ya bolamu na Nzambe, wana ozali kobosana ete boboto na Ye ememaka yo na kobongola motema?
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;
Kasi mpo na moto makasi na yo mpe motema libanga na yo, ozali yo moko komibendela etumbu monene mpo na mokolo oyo Nzambe akokweyisa kanda na Ye mpe akomonisa kosambisama na Ye ya sembo.
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Nzambe akofuta moto na moto kolanda misala na ye:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, and honor, and immortality; eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
bomoi ya seko epai ya moto oyo, na nzela ya molende na ye ya kosala malamu, alukaka nkembo, lokumu mpe makambo oyo ebebaka te; (aiōnios g166)
8 But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness; indignation and wrath:
kasi kanda mpe kanda makasi epai ya moto oyo, na nzela ya botomboki na ye, aboyaka solo mpe asepelaka na mabe.
9 Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Minyoko mpe mitungisi ezali kozela moto nyonso oyo asalaka mabe: liboso, Moyuda, mpe sima, Mogreki.
10 But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile;
Kasi nkembo, lokumu mpe kimia ezali kozela moto nyonso oyo asalaka bolamu: liboso, Moyuda, mpe sima, Mogreki;
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
pamba te Nzambe aponaka bilongi te.
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,
Bato nyonso oyo basalaki masumu na kozanga koyeba Mobeko bakokufa na kozanga mpe Mobeko. Nzokande bato oyo basalaki masumu, wana basengeli kotosa Mobeko, bakosambisama kolanda Mobeko.
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Pamba te ezali te bato oyo bayokaka Mobeko nde bazali sembo na miso na Nzambe, kasi ezali ba-oyo batosaka Mobeko yango nde bakotangama lokola bato ya sembo.
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.
Soki Bapagano oyo bayebi Mobeko te bazali kosala na ndenge na bango moko makambo oyo Mobeko esengaka, boyeba ete bamikomisaka Mobeko mpo na bango moko atako bazali na Mobeko yango te.
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)
Na bongo, na nzela ya bizaleli na bango, balakisaka ete misala oyo Mobeko esengaka ezali ya kokomama kati na mitema na bango. Mitema na bango etatolaka yango, ndenge moko na makanisi oyo na nzela na yango bamifundaka to bamilongisaka.
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
Nyonso wana ekomonana polele, na mokolo oyo Nzambe akosambisa basekele ya bato na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda Sango Malamu oyo nateyaka.
17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
Boye, yo moto oyo omibengaka Moyuda, otiaka elikya na yo kati na Mobeko, omikumisaka mpo na Nzambe,
18 And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law,
oyebi mokano ya Nzambe mpe oyebi kososola makambo oyo eleki malamu, pamba te Mobeko eteya yo.
19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,
Ondimisami solo ete ozali motambolisi ya bakufi miso, pole ya bato oyo bayengaka-yengaka kati na molili,
20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who hast the form of knowledge, and of the truth in the law:
molakisi ya bazoba, moteyi ya bana mike, pamba te ozwaka kati na Mobeko boyebi nyonso mpe bosolo.
21 Thou therefore who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Yo moto oyo oteyaka bato mosusu, boni, yo moko omiteyaka te? Yo oyo oteyaka bato mosusu ete bayiba te, boni, oyibaka?
22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Yo oyo olobaka na bato ete basala ekobo te, boni, osalaka ekobo? Yo oyo omipesaka te na banzambe ya bikeko, boni, ozwaka na makasi biloko kati na batempelo?
23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?
Yo oyo omikumisaka mpo na Mobeko, boni, ozali kobebisa lokumu ya Nzambe na kobuka Mobeko?
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written.
Mpo na yango, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Likolo na bino, Kombo ya Nzambe ezali kofingama kati na Bapagano. »
25 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keepest the law; but if thou art a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Kokatama ngenga ezali na tina soki ozali kotosa Mobeko; kasi soki obuki Mobeko, okomi lokola okatama na yo ngenga te.
26 Therefore, if the uncircumcision keepeth the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Kasi soki moto oyo akatisa ngenga te azali kotosa malako ya sembo ya Mobeko, boni, akotangama te lokola moto akatama ngenga?
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?
Moto oyo akatisa ngenga te kasi atosaka Mobeko akosambisa yo oyo obukaka Mobeko atako ozali na Makomi ya Mobeko mpe okatisa ngenga.
28 For he is not a Jew, who is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Pamba te ezali te makambo oyo emonanaka na miso nde ekomisaka moto Moyuda, mpe ezali te elembo oyo emonanaka na nzoto nde esalaka kokatama ngenga.
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.
Ezali kaka makambo ya kati nde ekomisaka moto Moyuda, mpe kokatama ngenga ya solo ezali nde oyo Molimo asalaka kati na motema; ezali te oyo tosalaka na kotosa Mobeko. Lokumu ya Moyuda ya boye ewutaka na bato te, kasi na Nzambe.
