Ndị Rom 2

1 Nʼihi ya, ị nweghị ngọpụ, onye ọbụla ị bụ, mgbe ị na-ekpe ndị ọzọ ikpe. Nʼihi na mgbe ị mara onye ọzọ ikpe, ọ bụ onwe gị ka ị na-ama ikpe maka na gị onwe gị na-emekwa ụdị ihe ndị ahụ.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one who judgest, for in that in which thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2 Ma anyị maara na Chineke na-ekpe ndị na-eme ihe ọjọọ dị otu a ikpe nʼụzọ ziri ezi.

But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth upon those who do such things.

3 Gị bụ mmadụ, gịnị mere i ji na-ama ndị na-eme ihe dị otu a ikpe mgbe gị onwe gị na-eme otu ihe ahụ. I chere na ị ga-agbanarị ikpe Chineke?

And thinkest thou this, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and practisest them [thyself], that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

4 Ka ị na-eleda obiọma Chineke, na nnagide ọ na-anagide ndụ ọjọọ gị, na ogologo ntachiobi ya anya? Ị maghị na obiọma Chineke nwere nʼebe ị nọ kwesiri ime ka i site na mmehie gị chegharịa?

or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance?

5 Ma nʼihi isiike gị na obi gị kpọrọ nkụ nke enweghị nchegharị, ị na-akpakọtara onwe gị ọnụma nke Chineke nʼụbọchị oke iwe ya, mgbe a ga-ekpughe ikpe ya ziri ezi.

but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up to thyself wrath, in [the] day of wrath and revelation of [the] righteous judgment of God,

6 Ọ ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla dịka ọrụ ya siri dị.

who shall render to each according to his works:

7 Chineke ga-enye ndị niile sitere na ntachiobi na ezi ọrụ na-achọ otuto na nsọpụrụ na ndụ ahụ na-adịgide adịgide bụ ndụ ebighị ebi. (aiōnios g166)

to them who, in patient continuance of good works, seek for glory and honour and incorruptibility, life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

8 Ma ndị niile na-akpa iche iche, ndị jụkwara isoro eziokwu ahụ, ndị na-anọgidekwa na-eme ihe ọjọọ, ka a ga-ata ahụhụ, gosi ha iwe ọkụ na ọnụma.

But to those that are contentious, and are disobedient to the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [there shall be] wrath and indignation,

9 Nsogbu na iru ụjụ ga-abịakwasị ndị niile na-eme ihe ọjọọ, mbụ, ọ ga-adịrị ndị Juu, emechaa, ọ ga-adịkwara ndị mba ọzọ.

tribulation and distress, on every soul of man that works evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek;

10 Ma otuto na nsọpụrụ na udo ga-abụ nke onye ọbụla na-eme ezi ihe, malite nʼonye Juu ruokwa na ndị mba ọzọ.

but glory and honour and peace to every one that works good, both to Jew first and to Greek:

11 Nʼihi na Chineke anaghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu.

for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

12 Ndị niile mehiere nʼọnọdụ enweghị iwu ga-ala nʼiyi nʼọnọdụ enweghị iwu. Ma ndị niile mehiere megide iwu ahụ ha mara ihe banyere ya ka a ga-ama ikpe dịka iwu siri kwuo.

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

13 Nʼihi na ọ bụghị ndị ahụ na-anụ mgbe a na-agụpụta akwụkwọ iwu ka a na-agụ dịka ndị ezi omume nʼihu Chineke, kama ọ bụ ndị ahụ niile na-eme ihe iwu kwuru ka a ga-agụ ka ndị ezi omume.

(for not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 Nʼezie, mgbe ndị mba ọzọ bụ ndị na-enweghị iwu sitere nʼobi ha mee ihe iwu kwuru, o gosiri na ha bụ iwu nye onwe ha, ọ bụ ezie na ha enweghị iwu ahụ e dere ede.

For when [those of the] nations, which have no law, practise by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

15 Ha na-egosipụta na edeela ihe ndị ahụ iwu kwuru nʼobi ha. Akọnuche ha na-egosikwa na nke a bụ eziokwu, ebe ọ bụ na akọnuche ha na-ama ha ikpe mgbe ụfọdụ, ma na-agọpụrụ ha mgbe ụfọdụ.

who shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing themselves between themselves; )

16 Dịka oziọma ahụ m na-ekwusa si kwuo, Chineke ga-ekpe ndụ nzuzo niile ụmụ mmadụ na-ebi ikpe, site na Kraịst Jisọs.

in [the] day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my glad tidings, by Jesus Christ.

17 Ma ugbu a, gị onye na-akpọ onwe gị onye Juu, onye tụkwasịrị obi gị nʼiwu ahụ, onye na-anyakwa isi na ị maara Chineke,

But if thou art named a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast in God,

18 ọ bụrụ na ị mara uche ya ma kwenyekwa nʼihe nke ka mma nʼihi na e ziri gị ihe site nʼiwu;

and knowest the will, and discerningly approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 ọ bụrụ na o doro gị anya na ị bụ onyendu nye ndị ìsì, bụrụkwa ìhè nye ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị,

and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of the blind, a light of those who [are] in darkness,

20 ị na-agụkwa onwe gị dịka onye nkuzi nke ndị na-amaghị ihe, na onye nkuzi ụmụntakịrị, nʼihi na ị maara iwu nke ọma, jupụtakwa nʼamamihe na eziokwu.

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having the form of knowledge and of truth in the law:

21 Gị onye na-akụziri mmadụ ibe gị ihe, ị na-akụzikwara onwe gị? Gị onye na-ekwusa ka mmadụ ezula ohi, ị na-ezu ohi?

thou then that teachest another, dost thou not teach thyself? thou that preachest not to steal, dost thou steal?

22 Gị onye na-asị mmadụ akwala iko, ị na-akwa iko? Gị onye na-akpọ arụsị ihe arụ, ị na-ezuru ihe dị nʼụlọ arụsị nʼohi?

thou that sayest [man should] not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

23 Gị onye na-anya isi na ị maara iwu, ị na-emenye Chineke ihere site nʼimebi iwu ahụ?

thou who boastest in law, dost thou by transgression of the law dishonour God?

24 Dịka esi dee ya, “Ndị mba ọzọ na-ekwulu aha Chineke nʼihi unu.”

For the name of God is blasphemed on your account among the nations, according as it is written.

25 Obibi ugwu bara uru nʼezie ma ọ bụrụ na ị na-edebe iwu, ma ọ bụrụ na ị na-emebi iwu, obibi ugwu gị dịka mgbe i bighị ugwu.

For circumcision indeed profits if thou keep [the] law; but if thou be a law-transgressor, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

26 Ọ bụrụ na ndị e bighị ugwu na-edebe ihe iwu kwuru, ọ bụ na a gaghị agụ ebighị ugwu ha dịka obibi ugwu?

If therefore the uncircumcision keep the requirements of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision,

27 Ya bụ, ndị ahụ a na-ebighị ugwu nʼanụ ahụ ma na-edebe iwu ga-ama unu ikpe, bụ ndị nwere iwu ahụ e dere nʼakwụkwọ na ndị e bikwara ugwu ma na-emebi iwu.

and uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, judge thee, who, with letter and circumcision, [art] a law-transgressor?

28 Ị bụ ezigbo onye Juu abụghị nke elu ahụ. Ezigbo ibi ugwu abụkwaghị ihe a na-ahụ nʼanụ ahụ.

For he is not a Jew who [is] one outwardly, neither that circumcision which is outward in flesh;

29 Kama ezigbo onye Juu bụ onye ọbụla nke bụ ya nʼime mmụọ. Ezigbo obibi ugwu bụkwa nke ime obi, nke mmụọ, ọ bụghị nke e dere ede. Otuto ya esiteghị nʼaka mmadụ kama o sitere nʼaka Chineke.

but he [is] a Jew [who is so] inwardly; and circumcision, of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
