< Romans 2 >

1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practise the same things.
Kwayele, mmwe mwajangu, iŵaga nkwalamula ŵane ngankombola kulichenjela natamuno mme ŵaani. Pakuŵa, pankwalamula ŵane akuno nomwe nkwendelechela kuipanganya iyoyo, nkulilamula mwasyene.
2 We know that the judgement of God is according to truth against those who practise such things.
Nowe tukumanyilila kuti ulamule wa Akunnungu uli wa usyene kwa aŵala ŵakuitendekanya indu yanti yeleyo.
3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practise such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgement of God?
Nambo alakwe junkwalamula ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo ni mwasyene nkuitendekanya iyoyo peyo. Ana nkuganisya chinchiuŵambala ulamule wa Akunnungu?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
Pane nkuunyelusya umbone wekulu wa Akunnungu ni utulale ni upililiu wao, uli ngankuimanyilila kuti umbone wa Akunnungu ukunnongosya kuti nneche sambi?
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgement of God,
Nambo mmwe nkakatime ntima ni nkwete ntima wangasaka kuleka sambi, kwa ligongo lyo nkuligosela mwasyene magambo pa lyuŵa lya Akunnungu lya lutumbilo lwao ni kulamula kwao kwa chigolochelo pachikulolechele.
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
Pakuŵa Akunnungu chachinlipa jwalijose malinga ni masengo gakwe.
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honour, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Ŵandu ŵakuitendekanya yambone pangali kupela akuno achisosaga ukulu ni kusichila ni umi wangaukujonasika, Akunnungu chachapa ŵandu ŵa, umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
Nambo aŵala ŵalipamo, aŵala ŵakuukanila usyene, ni kuikuya yangalumbana, isyene Akunnungu chachalamula kwa lutumbilo ni uchimwa wakwe wekulu.
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Chigapagwe masauko ni kulaga kwa jwalijose jwakuitendekanya yangalumbana, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
10 But glory, honour, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Nambo jwalijose jwakutendekanya yambone, Akunnungu chachimpa ukulu ni luchimbichimbi ni chitendewele, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
11 For there is no partiality with God.
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵangali lusagu.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵangakugamanyilila Malajisyo ga che Musa chasochele pangagamanyilila Malajisyo go. Ni Ŵayahudi ŵakugamanyilila Malajisyo ali nkutenda sambi chalamulikwe ni Malajisyo go.
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
Pakuŵa, ŵakugapilikana Malajisyo ngaŵa ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo aŵala ŵakugajitichisya Malajisyo ni ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
14 (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵangakugamanyilila Malajisyo, nambo pakutenda indu kwa lwendo lwapagwile nawo chisau ni yaitite pakulamulikwa mmalajisyo, achinsyene wo akulosya kuti akumanyilila chakusachilwa kupanganya namuno nganagamanyilila Malajisyo go.
15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts amongst themselves accusing or else excusing them)
Pakuŵa lwendo lwao lukulosya kuti Malajisyo galembekwe mu mitima jao. Miningwa jao jikulosya kuti au uli usyene, pakuŵa ng'anisyo syao sikwaŵechetela kuti atesile yangalumbana pane sikwachenjela kuti atesile yambone.
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
Yeleyo ni ichikopochele pa lyuŵa litachilamula Akunnungu yantemela ya ŵandu, kwa litala li Che Yesu Kilisito mpela Ngani Jambone jinanlalichile ijikuti pakusala.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
Ni mmwe junkuliŵilanga Myahudi, nkugakulupilila Malajisyo ni kulifunila ndi mundu jwa Akunnungu,
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
nkulitenda kuti nkumanyilila yaikwanonyela Akunnungu ni kwitichisya indu yao yambone pakuŵa nyiganichikwe ni Malajisyo.
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
Nkuliganichisya mwasyene kuti ndi chilongola jwa ŵangalola ni lilanguka lyao ŵaali mu chipi,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
junkwaunda ŵakuloŵela ni njiganyo jwa ŵanache achanandi. Pakuŵa nkuganisya mu Malajisyo nkwete umanyilisi ni usyene.
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
Nipele mmweji junkwajiganya ŵane, ana kwa chichi ngankulijiganya mwasyene? Mmweji junkwalalichila ŵane nkajiŵa kwachichi mwasyene nkwiŵa?
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Mmweji junkusala, “Nkatenda chikululu,” kwachichi mwasyene nkutenda chikululu? Nkuichima inyago ya achiminungu, kwachichi mwasyene nkwinjila ni kwiŵa indu mu majumba ga achiminungu?
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonour God by disobeying the law?
Nkulilapa kuti nkugamanyilila Malajisyo ga Akunnungu nambo nkunjalusya Akunnungu pankuleka kugakamulisya Malajisyo go!
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed amongst the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
Pakuŵa mpela yagakuti kusala Malembelo ga Akunnungu, “Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi akulitukana liina lya Akunnungu kwa ligongo lya agala gankugatenda ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi.”
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Kuumbala kwenu chikuŵe ni malumbo iŵaga chingajitichisye Malajisyo. Nambo iŵaga nkugapwanya Malajisyo, mbaya ngankaumbale.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
Ni iŵaga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganaumbale akugakamulichisya Malajisyo, uli ungaumbala wao ngauŵilanjikwa uumbale?
27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfil the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganaumbale mu chiilu, nambo akugakamulichisya Malajisyo, chanlamule ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi pakuŵa ngankugajitichisya Malajisyo namose nkugamanyilila Malajisyo gamalembekwe ni ndi ŵaumbale.
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Myahudi jwa usyene ngaŵa ajula jwakuloleka kwa meeso, atamuno mundu ngakuŵa Myahudi jwa usyene pakuŵa aumbele mu chiilu.
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
Nambo Myahudi jwa usyene ni ajula jwali jwati iyoyo nkati, malumbo gakwe ajula jwaumbele mu ntima. Kuumbala kusyene kuli, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akukupanganya mu ntima mwa mundu, ni ngaŵa kwa malembo ga Malajisyo. Nambo mundu jwati yeleyi ngaakulapikwa ni ŵandu nambo akulapikwa ni Akunnungu.
