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.
Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn, —for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:
2 Na nĩtũũĩ atĩ Ngai agaatuĩra andũ arĩa mekaga maũndũ ta macio ciira na kĩhooto.
We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.
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 reckonest thou this, O man—who dost judge them who such things do practise, and yet art doing the same, that, thou, shalt escape the sentence 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, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise, —not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee?
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 thy hardness, and [thine] impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, —
6 Nĩ ũndũ Ngai akaarĩha o mũndũ kũringana na maũndũ marĩa aaneka.
Who will render unto each one 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)
Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding, (aiōnios g166)
8 No arĩa eyendi, na nĩmaregaga ũhoro-wa-ma na makarũmagĩrĩra maũndũ mooru-rĩ, acio nĩmagakinyĩrwo nĩ mangʼũrĩ na marakara.
Unto them, on the other hand, who are of contention, and are not yielding unto the truth, but are yielding unto 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;
tribulation and anguish—against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of 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 honour and peace—unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto 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 without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;
13 Nĩgũkorwo ti arĩa maiguaga watho matuagwo athingu maitho-inĩ ma Ngai, no arĩa maathĩkagĩra watho nĩo magaatuuo athingu.
For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;
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, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, —
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.)
Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing—or, even excusing, them: —
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 on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus.
17 Atĩrĩrĩ, angĩkorwo wee wĩĩtaga Mũyahudi; na ũngĩkorwo wĩhocagia ũhoro-inĩ wa watho na nĩwĩĩrahagĩra ngwatanĩro yaku na Ngai;
If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,
18 angĩkorwo nĩũmenyete ũrĩa endaga, na ũgakũũrana maũndũ marĩa marĩ bata gũkĩra marĩa mangĩ tondũ wa ũrĩa ũrutĩtwo maũndũ ma watho;
And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ—when receiving oral instruction out of the law,
19 angĩkorwo nĩwĩtĩkĩtie atĩ wee ũrĩ mũtongoria wa andũ arĩa atumumu, o na ũtheri wa gũtherera arĩa marĩ nduma-inĩ,
Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art—a guide of the blind, a light of them that 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;
A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and 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?
Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest—Do not steal! Art thou, stealing?
22 Wee uugaga atĩ andũ matikanatharanie-rĩ, wee nĩũtharanagia? Wee ũthũire mĩhianano-rĩ, wee nĩũiyaga indo cia hekarũ cia andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai?
That sayest—Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?
23 Wee wĩrahagĩra watho-rĩ, nĩũconorithagia Ngai na ũndũ wa kwagarara watho ũcio?
That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?
24 O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩa Ngai nĩrĩcambagio thĩinĩ wa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ nĩ ũndũ wanyu.”
For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations, —even 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, indeed, profiteth—if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision
26 Angĩkorwo arĩa matarĩ aruu nĩmahingagia maũndũ marĩa mabataranagia thĩinĩ wa watho-rĩ, githĩ acio matiagĩrĩire gũtuuo ta maruĩte?
If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned?—
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 the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law!
28 Tondũ-rĩ, Mũyahudi ti ũrĩa wonanagia atĩ nĩ Mũyahudi na igũrũ, nakuo kũrua to kũrĩa gwa kuoneka mwĩrĩ-inĩ.
For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision;
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 who is one in secret, is a Jew, —and, [that is], circumcision, which is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, —whose, praise, is not of men, but of God.
