< Romans 2 >

1 Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man — every one who is judging — for in that in which thou dost judge the other, thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost practise who art judging,
Kwayele, mmwe mwajangu, iŵaga nkwalamula ŵane ngankombola kulichenjela natamuno mme ŵaani. Pakuŵa, pankwalamula ŵane akuno nomwe nkwendelechela kuipanganya iyoyo, nkulilamula mwasyene.
2 and we have known that the judgment of God is according to truth, upon those practising such things.
Nowe tukumanyilila kuti ulamule wa Akunnungu uli wa usyene kwa aŵala ŵakuitendekanya indu yanti yeleyo.
3 And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Nambo alakwe junkwalamula ŵakuitendekanya yeleyo ni mwasyene nkuitendekanya iyoyo peyo. Ana nkuganisya chinchiuŵambala ulamule wa Akunnungu?
4 or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise? — not knowing that the goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation!
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 thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment 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 shall render to each according to his works;
Pakuŵa Akunnungu chachinlipa jwalijose malinga ni masengo gakwe.
7 to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility — life age-during; (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 and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the truth, and obeying the unrighteousness — indignation and wrath,
Nambo aŵala ŵalipamo, aŵala ŵakuukanila usyene, ni kuikuya yangalumbana, isyene Akunnungu chachalamula kwa lutumbilo ni uchimwa wakwe wekulu.
9 tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;
Chigapagwe masauko ni kulaga kwa jwalijose jwakuitendekanya yangalumbana, kutandila kwa Ŵayahudi ni sooni kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
10 and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is working the good, both to Jew first, and to 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 acceptance of faces with God,
Pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵangali lusagu.
12 for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,
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 not the hearers of the law [are] righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: —
Pakuŵa, ŵakugapilikana Malajisyo ngaŵa ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu, nambo aŵala ŵakugajitichisya Malajisyo ni ŵakuŵalanjikwa ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
14 For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law — to themselves are a law;
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 who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,
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 shall judge the secrets of men, according to my good news, through 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 Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,
Ni mmwe junkuliŵilanga Myahudi, nkugakulupilila Malajisyo ni kulifunila ndi mundu jwa Akunnungu,
18 and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,
nkulitenda kuti nkumanyilila yaikwanonyela Akunnungu ni kwitichisya indu yao yambone pakuŵa nyiganichikwe ni Malajisyo.
19 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind ones, a light of those in darkness,
Nkuliganichisya mwasyene kuti ndi chilongola jwa ŵangalola ni lilanguka lyao ŵaali mu chipi,
20 an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.
junkwaunda ŵakuloŵela ni njiganyo jwa ŵanache achanandi. Pakuŵa nkuganisya mu Malajisyo nkwete umanyilisi ni usyene.
21 Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not teach?
Nipele mmweji junkwajiganya ŵane, ana kwa chichi ngankulijiganya mwasyene? Mmweji junkwalalichila ŵane nkajiŵa kwachichi mwasyene nkwiŵa?
22 thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou 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 thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?
Nkulilapa kuti nkugamanyilila Malajisyo ga Akunnungu nambo nkunjalusya Akunnungu pankuleka kugakamulisya Malajisyo go!
24 for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among the nations, according as it hath been 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, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.
Kuumbala kwenu chikuŵe ni malumbo iŵaga chingajitichisye Malajisyo. Nambo iŵaga nkugapwanya Malajisyo, mbaya ngankaumbale.
26 If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?
Ni iŵaga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵanganaumbale akugakamulichisya Malajisyo, uli ungaumbala wao ngauŵilanjikwa uumbale?
27 and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, [art] a transgressor of 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 [so] outwardly, neither [is] circumcision that which is outward in flesh;
Myahudi jwa usyene ngaŵa ajula jwakuloleka kwa meeso, atamuno mundu ngakuŵa Myahudi jwa usyene pakuŵa aumbele mu chiilu.
29 but a Jew [is] he who is [so] inwardly, and circumcision [is] of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the praise is not of men, but of 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.
