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 you are without excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

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

Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice 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 do you think this, you who judge those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will 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 do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you 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 your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up for yourself 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 "will pay back to everyone according to their 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 those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (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 who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,

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.

affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the 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, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 Nʼihi na Chineke anaghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu.

For there is no partiality 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 the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the 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 it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will 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 the non-Jews who do not have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the 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.

since they show the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them,

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 will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.

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 you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and 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 know his will, and approve the things that are 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 are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to 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.

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

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?

You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you 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?

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

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

You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?

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

For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just 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 you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has 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 uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as 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.

Won't the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

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 is that circumcision which is outward in the 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 one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, by the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from people, but from God.
