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, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein 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 are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit 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, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, 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 longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth 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 after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Kahe ku muntu ni muntu chokuya ke inkezo zakwe:

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

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

To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

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

But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

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

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

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

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11 Kaho kakwina kuketela muntu kwe Ireeza.

For there is no respect 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 also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the 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 the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto 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

Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; )

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 by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

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

Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

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

And knowest [his] will, and 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 art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which 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, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

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

Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

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

Thou that sayest a 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 that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

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

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, 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 verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.

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

Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

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

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?

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

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the 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, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
