Maroma 2

1 Cwalehe, kamwina mavaka, iwe muntu, inwe mu atula, kecho chimu atula muzumwi nanwe muchili atula muvene. kaho inwe mu atula mupanga zintu zi swana.

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 Kono twizi kuti inkatulo ye Ireeza iyenda che niti haiwila kwavo va panga izo zintu.

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

3 Kono umamele ichi, iwe muntu, iwe u atula avo va panga izo zintu nawe nopanga zintu ziswana. Kowole kulovoka inkatulo ye Ireeza?

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 kapa muhupulela hanini ke chifumu cho vulotu vwakwe, nikuha inkoto kwakwe kuliyehete, ni nkulo yoku lindila? Kamwizi kuti vulotu vwakwe vokuti amitwale mwinila yokuvaka?

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 kono njikuva wina vukukutu niku savaka kwe nkulo kuti ulivikila iwe mwine kuvenga kwe zuva lyo kuvenga, icho njikuti, izuva lyokwiziveka kwe nkatulo ye Ireeza i jolola.

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 Kahe ku muntu ni muntu chokuya ke inkezo zakwe:

who shall render to each according to his works:

7 kwavo va tundamina, mitendo milotu ya wana intumbo, ikute, nikusa lyanganiswa, kahe vuhalo vo kuya kwile. (aiōnios g166)

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

8 Kono kwavo vali ngana avo vene, vase chilili initi kono ve chilila kusa chena, vuvengi vusa mani niku venga kavwize.

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

9 Ireeza kalete manyando ni kufilikana haluhuho lya muntu ni muntu yava pangi chivi, kuma Juda sapili, niku ma Greeke hape.

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

10 Kono intumbo, ikute, ni nkozo kazize ku muntu yense ya panga zilotu, kuma Juda sapili, niku ma Greeke.

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

11 Kaho kakwina kuketela muntu kwe Ireeza.

for there is no acceptance of persons with God.

12 Kaho vangi va panga chivi mi hape kava mane nikusena mulao, mi nikuvangi vava pangi chivi niva kuteka mulao kava atulwe cho mulao.

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 Kakuti kena vateki vo mulao vavikitwe kuluka havunsu bwe Ireeza, kono javo fera vapangi vo mulao vasane kava hewe kuluka.

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

14 Kakuti vamachava, vasena mulao, vapanga che mukwa wavantu zintu zomulao, avo, vali mulao kuvali vene, nagati kuti kavena mulao

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 Chezi vatodeza kuti zitu zisakiwa kumulao ziñoletwe munkulo zavo. Minahano yavo nayo ipaka vulyo kuvali, mi mihupulo yavo kuiva nyazi kamba kuva zimanina kuvali vene

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 mi nikwa Ireeza vulyo. Icho kachipanga hale mwelyo izuva aho Ireeza hasane ka atule inkunutu zavantu vonse, chokuya ke evangeli yangu, chukuya ka Jesu Keresite.

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

17 Mwendi hamwi mulisupa kuti muma Juda, mupumwira hamulao, kusangwa chokuli kumusa mwe Ireeza,

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

18 kwiziva chasaka, ni kulika zintu zishutana kuzili, kasamulaho wo kutondeziwa kumulao.

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

19 Mi mwendi mwina inwe muvene nji muyendisa chivofu, iseli kwavo vena mwififi,

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

20 musikululi we zihole, mi nihakuli kuti mwina mumulao mukwa we ngana nivu niti.

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

21 Inwe, linu, varuta vamwi, kamuli ruti inwe muvene? Inwe mukutaza kuti kanji muyivi, muyiva?

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

22 Inwe muwamba kanji mupangi vushahi, mupanga vushahi? Inwe muyansa maswaniso, muyivira itempere?

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

23 Inwe mulikumuseza kunyakalala mumu lao, kana munyasa Ireeza choku chola mulao?

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

24 Kuti “inzina lye Ireeza linyasahala mukati kava Machava vakeñi chenu,” sina yovulyo mulivañolerwe.

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

25 Kakuti mupato chovuniti umi wanisa haiva nimwi chilira mulao, kono haiva umucholi wo mulao, mupato wako usanduka kusava mupato.

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

26 Haiva, lyahanu, muntu yasena mupato ne chilira inswanero zo mulao, kete kuve kuti kusaya mumupato kwakwe kuvoneke uvu yavayi mumupato?

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

27 Iri ivaka lyokuta mwina mañolo a ñoletwe mi mupato hape jivo vasechilili vo mulao!

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

28 Kakuli kena Mujuda luli iyemwine hanze vulyo; mi mupato luli konji upangiwa hanze mwinyama.

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

29 Kono Mujuda njiyena mwine luli mukati, mi mupato jowuna we nkulo, muluhuho, isiñi cho muñolo. Kutembwa kozo uswana muntu kakuzwi kumuntu kono kwe-Ireeza.

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.
