Aroma 2

1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, wee mũndũ ũyũ ndũrĩ na kĩĩgwatio, wee ũtuagĩra mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ ciira, nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa ũgũtuĩra mũndũ ũngĩ ciira, nĩwe mwene ũretuĩra ciira, tondũ wee ũratuanĩra ciira wĩkaga maũndũ o macio ekaga.

For which reason, you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are, that judge; for in that in which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge, practice the same things.

2 Na nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai agaatuĩra andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ ta macio ciira na kĩhooto.

But we know that the judgment of God against those who practice such things, is according to truth.

3 Tondũ rĩrĩa wee mũndũ ũyũ, ũtuagĩra arĩa angĩ ciira na ũgacooka ũgeeka maũndũ o macio mekaga-rĩ, wee ũgwĩciiria nĩũkahonoka ciira wa Ngai?

But do you, O man, who judge those that practice such things, and yet do the same, conclude that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 Kana nĩkũnyarara ũnyararĩte ũtugi wake mũnene, na ũkirĩrĩria, na wetereri wake, ũkaaga kũmenya atĩ ũtugi wa Ngai nĩguo ũkũguucagĩrĩria nĩguo wĩrire?

Or, do you despise the riches of his goodness, and his forbearance, and his long suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũmĩtie ngoro yaku, na ũkarega kwĩrira-rĩ, nĩ mangʼũrĩ ũreigĩra marĩa magagũũkĩrĩra. Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ nĩũrooka, rĩrĩa matuĩro ma Ngai ma kĩhooto makaaguũranĩrio.

But, according to your hard and impenitent heart, you treasure up to yourself wrath for a day of wrath, and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

6 Nĩ ũndũ Ngai akaarĩha o mũndũ kũringana na maũndũ marĩa aaneka.

who will render to every man according to his works;

7 Arĩa macaragia kũheo riiri, na gĩtĩĩo, na ũhoro wa kwaga kũbutha, nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka wega matekũnoga-rĩ, acio nĩakamahe muoyo wa tene na tene. (aiōnios g166)

to those who, by patient continuance in good works, seek for glory and honor and incorruptibility, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 No arĩa eyendi, na nĩmaregaga ũhoro-wa-ma na makarũmagĩrĩra maũndũ mooru-rĩ, acio nĩmagakinyĩrwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ na marakara.

but to those who are contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, anger and wrath,

9 Nĩgũkaagĩa na thĩĩna na mĩnyamaro kũrĩ andũ othe arĩa mekaga ũũru; mbere kũrĩ Ayahudi, na thuutha kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ;

affliction and distress, upon every soul of man that practices what is evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek:

10 no riiri, na gĩtĩĩo, na thayũ ikaaheo mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wĩkaga wega: mbere kũrĩ Ayahudi, na thuutha kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ.

but glory and honor and peace to every one that practices what is good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

11 Nĩgũkorwo Ngai ndatĩĩagĩra andũ maũthĩ.

for there is no respect of persons with God.

12 Andũ arĩa othe mehagia matarĩ watho-inĩ makaaniinwo matarĩ watho-inĩ, nao arĩa othe mehagia marĩ rungu rwa watho magaatuĩrwo ciira kũringana na watho ũcio.

For as many as have sinned without law, shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned under law, shall be judged by law,

13 Nĩgũkorwo ti arĩa maiguaga watho matuagwo athingu maitho-inĩ ma Ngai, no arĩa maathĩkagĩra watho nĩo magaatuuo athingu.

in the day when God shall judge the secret works of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

14 (Ti-itherũ, rĩrĩa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa matarĩ na watho mekaga maũndũ marĩa watho uugĩte nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro wao wa mũciarĩre-rĩ, o ene nĩmonanagia nĩmooĩ watho ũcio, o na gũtuĩka matirĩ maũigua

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

15 tondũ nĩmonanagia atĩ maũndũ marĩa mabataranagia thĩinĩ wa watho nĩmandĩke ngoro-inĩ ciao, nacio thamiri ciao o nacio ikaruta ũira, namo meciiria mao rĩmwe makamaciirithagia na rĩrĩa rĩngĩ makamaciirĩrĩra.)

For when the Gentiles, who have not a law, do, by nature, the things of the law, these who have not a law, are a law to themselves,

16 Ũndũ ũyũ ũkooneka mũthenya ũrĩa Ngai, na ũndũ wa Jesũ Kristũ agaatuĩra ciira meciiria ma hitho marĩa marĩ ngoro-inĩ cia andũ, o ta ũrĩa Ũhoro-ũrĩa-Mwega uugĩte, ũrĩa niĩ hunjagia.

who show that the work which the law requires, is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing testimony, and their reasonings with each other accusing, or making excuse.

17 Atĩrĩrĩ, angĩkorwo wee wĩĩtaga Mũyahudi; na ũngĩkorwo wĩhocagia ũhoro-inĩ wa watho na nĩwĩĩrahagĩra ngwatanĩro yaku na Ngai;

But if you are named Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast in God.

18 angĩkorwo nĩũmenyete ũrĩa endaga, na ũgakũũrana maũndũ marĩa marĩ bata gũkĩra marĩa mangĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa ũrutĩtwo maũndũ ma watho;

and know his will, and approve what is excellent, being instructed by the law:

19 angĩkorwo nĩwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wee ũrĩ mũtongoria wa andũ arĩa atumumu, o na ũtheri wa gũtherera arĩa marĩ nduma-inĩ,

if you are also confident that you yourself are a guide for the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 o na mũtaari wa andũ arĩa akĩĩgu, na mũrutani wa tũkenge, tondũ thĩinĩ wa watho ũrĩ na mũhianĩre wa ũrĩa ũmenyo wa ũhoro-wa-ma ũtariĩ;

an instructor of the simple, a teacher of the unlearned, because you have the form of true knowledge in the law;

21 hakĩrĩ ũguo-rĩ, wee ũrutaga andũ arĩa angĩ-rĩ, ndũngĩkĩĩruta wee mwene? Wee ũhunjagia atĩ andũ matikaiye-rĩ, wee nĩũiyaga?

you, then, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

22 Wee uugaga atĩ andũ matikanatharanie-rĩ, wee nĩũtharanagia? Wee ũthũire mĩhianano-rĩ, wee nĩũiyaga indo cia hekarũ cia andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai?

You who say that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

23 Wee wĩrahagĩra watho-rĩ, nĩũconorithagia Ngai na ũndũ wa kwagarara watho ũcio?

You who make your boast in the law, do you, by transgressing the law, dishonor God?

24 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai nĩrĩcambagio thĩinĩ wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wanyu.”

For the name of God is reviled among the Gentiles, on account of you, as it is written.

25 Ũhoro wa kũrua nĩ ũrĩ kĩguni ũngĩrũmia ũrĩa watho uugĩte, no ũngĩagarara watho ũcio-rĩ, ũhoro ũcio waku wa kũrua ũtuĩkĩte ta ũtaruĩte.

Now, circumcision is indeed profitable, if you keep the law: but, if you transgress the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 Angĩkorwo arĩa matarĩ aruu nĩmahingagia maũndũ marĩa mabataranagia thĩinĩ wa watho-rĩ, githĩ acio matiagĩrĩire gũtuuo ta maruĩte?

If, then, he who is uncircumcised keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 Mũndũ ũrĩa ũtarĩ mũruu mwĩrĩ na nĩahingagia ũrĩa watho uugĩte-rĩ, nĩakamũtuĩra ciira, inyuĩ mwagararaga watho ũcio o na mwakorwo nĩmũruĩte na mũrĩ na watho ũrĩa mwandĩke.

And shall not he whose want of circumcision is owing to his birth, if he keeps the law, condemn you, who, by the literal circumcision, transgress the law?

28 Tondũ-rĩ, Mũyahudi ti ũrĩa wonanagia atĩ nĩ Mũyahudi na igũrũ, nakuo kũrua to kũrĩa gwa kuoneka mwĩrĩ-inĩ.

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

29 Aca, Mũyahudi kũna nĩ ũrĩa Mũyahudi ngoro; nakuo kũrua nĩ kũrua kwa ngoro, ũguo nĩ kuuga atĩ nĩ ũhoro wa Roho, no ti wa watho ũrĩa mwandĩke. Kũganwo kwa mũndũ ta ũcio-rĩ, gũtiumaga kũrĩ andũ, no kuumaga kũrĩ Ngai.

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 of men, but of God.
