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.
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.
2 Na nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai agaatuĩra andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ ta macio ciira na kĩhooto.
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 Tondũ rĩrĩa wee mũndũ ũyũ, ũtuagĩra arĩa angĩ ciira na ũgacooka ũgeeka maũndũ o macio mekaga-rĩ, wee ũgwĩciiria nĩũkahonoka ciira wa Ngai?
And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall 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 despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; 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 after your hardness and refusing to repent heart treasure up unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and 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 deeds:
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 them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, 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 unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Nĩgũkaagĩa na thĩĩna na mĩnyamaro kũrĩ andũ othe arĩa mekaga ũũru; mbere kũrĩ Ayahudi, na thuutha kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ;
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
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, honour, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
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 in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 Nĩgũkorwo ti arĩa maiguaga watho matuagwo athingu maitho-inĩ ma Ngai, no arĩa maathĩkagĩra watho nĩo magaatuuo athingu.
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
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 when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
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.)
Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )
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.
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Atĩrĩrĩ, angĩkorwo wee wĩĩtaga Mũyahudi; na ũngĩkorwo wĩhocagia ũhoro-inĩ wa watho na nĩwĩĩrahagĩra ngwatanĩro yaku na Ngai;
Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of 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 the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 angĩkorwo nĩwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wee ũrĩ mũtongoria wa andũ arĩa atumumu, o na ũtheri wa gũtherera arĩa marĩ nduma-inĩ,
And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which 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 foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth 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 therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preach 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 that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 Wee wĩrahagĩra watho-rĩ, nĩũconorithagia Ngai na ũndũ wa kwagarara watho ũcio?
You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonour you 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 blasphemed among the Gentiles through 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.
For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Angĩkorwo arĩa matarĩ aruu nĩmahingagia maũndũ marĩa mabataranagia thĩinĩ wa watho-rĩ, githĩ acio matiagĩrĩire gũtuuo ta maruĩte?
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep 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 uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do 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, which is one outwardly; neither 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, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, (pneuma) and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
