Bharumi 2
1 Kulwejo bhatana bhubhambalilo, awe unu oulamula, kulwo kubha galiya ganu oulamula oundi owitula mu ntambala awe omwene. kulwo kubha awe unu oulamula oukola amasango galya galya.
You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;
2 Mbe nawe echimenya ati indamu ya Nyamuanga ni ya chimali ingulu yabho bhanu abhakola emisango jejabhwejo.
and we know that God's judgement against those who commit such sins is in accordance with the truth.
3 Mbe nawe awe nuliganilishe linu, awe unu oulamula bhaliya bhanu abhakola emisango ejo nolwo kutyo awe one oukola amasango ago ago. Angu ouichunda indamu ya Nyamuanga?
And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs--do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges?
4 Nangu owiganilisha katyali-la ingulu yo bhwafu bhwo bhwe kisi bhwae, okukolwa kwa intambala yae, no kwigumilisha kwae? Angu, utakumenya ati obhwekisi bhwae Bhwi ile okukuleta mu kuta?
Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?
5 Nawe kulwo bhukomee bhwao na kwo mitima gwao gunu Gutana kuta awe omwene owibhikila lisungu kwo lusiku luliya olwa lisungu, nawe ati, olusiku luliya olwo kuswelulwa kwa indamu ye chimali cha Nyamuanga.
The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.
6 Omwene kamuliya bhuli munu ku ndengo inu inganiliye ne bhikolwa bhyae:
To each man He will make an award corresponding to his actions;
7 Ku bhaliya abhe bhikolwa bhyekisi abhaiga likusho, ne chibhalo na bhuntanyamuka, kabhayana obhuanga bhwa kajanende. (aiōnios g166)
to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages; (aiōnios g166)
8 Mbe nawe bhaliya bhanu abheyendi, bhanu bhatakulubha echimali nawe abhalubha obhunyamuke, lisungu no bhululu bhwafu bhunu obhuja.
while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,
9 Nyamuanga alileta jinyako na jishida ingulu ya bhuli bhuanga bhwo mwana munu unu akolele amabhibhi, okwamba ku Muyaudi, na ku Muyunani one.
coming upon the soul of every man and woman who deliberately does wrong--upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile;
10 Mbe nawe likusho, echibhalo no mulembe ebhija ku bhuli munu unu kukola ebhyekisi, okwamba ku Muyaudi, na ku Muyunani one.
whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right--to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.
11 Kulwo kubha italio solole ku Nyamuanga.
For God pays no attention to this world's distinctions.
12 Kulwo kubha lwakutyo bhafu bhanu bhayabhile chitalio chilagilo abhabhula one chitabhao chilagilo, na lwakutyo bhafu bhanyamuye okulubhana ne chilagilo nkokutyo one bhalilamulwa kwe chilagilo.
For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law.
13 Kulwo kubha bhatali bho kungwa kwe bhilagilo bhanu bhali bhalengelesi imbele ya Nyamuanga, nawe ni bhaliya bhanu abhachikolela echilagilo bhanu abhabhalilwa obhulengelesi.
It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.
14 Kulwo kubha abhanu bha Maanga, bhanu bhatana chilagilo, abhakola kwo bhusimuka emisango je chilagilo, bhenene, bhabhee bhilagilo kwe mitima jebhwe, nolwo kutyo bhenene bhatana bhilagilo.
For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they, without having a Law, are a Law to themselves;
15 Kulinu abhelesha ati ebhikolwa bhinu ebhyendibhwa mu nsonga ye bhilagilo bhyandikilwe mu Mioyo jebhwe. Emitima jebhwe one nijibhabhambalila abhene, na menganilisho gebhwe abhene nolwo kubhasitaka amwi okubhalinda bhenene abhene.
since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence--
16 Ku Nyamuanga one. Ganu agabhonekana mu nsiku jinu Nyamuanga alijilamula jimbisike ja bhanu bhona inganiliye ne misango jo bhwana ejani, mu njila ya Yesu Kristo.
on the day when God will judge the secrets of men's lives by Jesus Christ, as declared in the Good News as I have taught it.
17 Chaikeki ati awe omwene owibhilikila Omuyaudi, unu enyanjile mu bhilagilo, sandabha kwo kwikusha ku Nyamuanga,
And since you claim the name of Jew, and find rest and satisfaction in the Law, and make your boast in God,
18 nukumenye okwenda kwae, na indengo ye misango ejo eitasikana nago, wejile bhalagililwa ne bhilagilo.
and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ--being a man who receives instruction from the Law--
19 Na chaike ati uli no bhubhasi ati awe omwene uli mutangasha wa abhaofu, obhwelu ku bhaliya bhanu bhali mu chisute,
and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 omwelesha wa bhamumu, omwiigisha wa bhana, mbe ati ulinayo mu bhilagilo okulubhana no bhumenyi ne chimali.
a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:
21 Mbe awe, unu ousimulila oundi, angu, utakwiingila awe omwene? Awe unu oulasha ati wasiga kwibha, angu awe utakwibha?
you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief?
22 Awe unu owaika ati wasiga kulomela, angu oulomela? Awe unu oufululusibhwa ne bhisusano, angu owibha mwiyekalu?
You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples?
23 Awe unu owikusha mu bhilagilo, angu utakumuswasha Nyamuanga no kunyamula ebhilagilo?
You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God?
24 Kulwo kubha “Lisina Lya Nyamuanga lyaswasibhwe mu bhanu bha Maanga kunsonga yemwe,” Lwa kutyo jandikilwe.
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you, as Holy Writ declares.
25 Kulwo kubha okutendwa ni chimali kwiile ukacholobhela ebhilagilo, mbe nawe awe ukabha wo kuchilema echilagilo, okutendwa kwao okubha lwa unu atatendelwe.
Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.
26 Mbe, alabha, omunu atatendelwe ka nagendelelala okugwata amalagililo gebhilagilo, angu obhutatendwa bhwae bhutakubhonekana ati atendelwe?
In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and,
27 No mwene unu atatendelwe kwo bhusimuka atakulamulwa akabha akumisishe ebhilagilo? Inu ni kwa insonga ati galio amaandiko ganu gandikilwe no obhutendi one mbe nawe uchali nuchilema echilagilo!
although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?
28 Kulwo kubha mwenene atali Muyaudi unu kabhonekana kwa anja; Nolwo okutendwa kutali kuliya kunu kuli kwa anja-la mumubhili.
For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.
29 Mbe nawe mwenene ni Muyaudi unu ali wa munda, no olutendo ni lwa mu mutima, mu Mwoyo, atali mu maandiko. Okukusibhwa kwo munu wejabho oyo ejo itakusokana na bhanu nawe eisoka ku Nyamuanga.
But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.
