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, whoever thou art, that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost 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 judgement of God is according to truth against those that 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, O man, who judgest those that do such things, and dost the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement 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 leadeth 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 by thy hardness and impenitence of heart thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the just judgement of God,
6 Ọ ga-akwụghachi onye ọbụla dịka ọrụ ya siri dị.
who will render to every one 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 by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, and honor, and immortality, eternal 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 contentious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
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 anguish shall be upon every soul of man that worketh evil, both of the Jew, and of the Gentile:
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 honor, and peace to every one that worketh good, both to the Jew, and to the Greek:
11 Nʼihi na Chineke anaghị ele mmadụ anya nʼihu.
for there is no respect 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 the law shall also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned under the law shall 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 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 the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature the duties of the law, these though they have not 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.
and shew the work of the law written on their hearts, their conscience witnessing together with it, and their own thoughts either accusing, or excusing 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 men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.
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,
Behold thou art called a Jew, and restest on the law, and boastest 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 his will, and approvest 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 art persuaded that thou art a guide of the blind,
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 light to them that are in the darkness, an instructor of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth which is 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, who teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? Thou, that preachest a man should not 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 a 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, that boastest in the 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 through you the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, 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 is profitable, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, 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?
Therefore if the uncircumcised keep the righteous precepts of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be accounted to him 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 shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law? for he is not a Jew, who is only so in appearance;
28 Ị bụ ezigbo onye Juu abụghị nke elu ahụ. Ezigbo ibi ugwu abụkwaghị ihe a na-ahụ nʼanụ ahụ.
nor is that circumcision, which is only in appearance, 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 in the spirit, not in the letter: whose praise is not from men, but from God.
