Abaruumi 2
1 Gwe anenya omuntu omulala, okola ebibi bye bimu ne by’onenyeza omuntu oyo. Kyonoova olema okubeera n’eky’okuwoza, kubanga bw’okola bw’otyo, weesalira wekka omusango.
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 Naye kaakano, tumanyi nga Katonda mutuufu okunenya abo abakola ebiri ng’ebyo.
Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice such things.
3 Naye ggwe omuntu obuntu, akola ebiri ng’ebyo, kyokka n’onenya abantu abalala, olowooza nga Katonda alikuleka?
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 Oba onyooma ekisa kya Katonda ekingi, n’okugumiikiriza kwe n’obukwatampola bwe? Tomanyi ng’ekisa kya Katonda kikuleeta mu kwenenya?
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Naye olw’obukakanyavu bwo n’omutima oguteenenya, weeterekera ekiruyi ku lunaku lw’ekiruyi n’okubikkulirwa, Katonda lw’alisalirako omusango ogw’obutuukirivu.
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 Katonda aliwa buli omu empeera esaanira ebikolwa bye.
who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"
7 Aliwa obulamu obutaggwaawo abo abaakola obulungi, nga balina essuubi ery’okuweebwa ekitiibwa, ettendo n’obulamu obw’emirembe n’emirembe. (aiōnios g166)
to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Naye abo abeenoonyeza ebyabwe, abajeemera amazima nga bagondera obutali butuukirivu, kiriba kiruyi na busungu.
But to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,
9 Walibaawo ennaku n’okubonaabona ku buli mmeeme y’omuntu akola ebibi, okusookera ku Muyudaaya n’oluvannyuma ku Munnaggwanga.
affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Naye ekitiibwa n’ettendo n’emirembe biriba ku buli akola ebituufu, okusookera ku Muyudaaya n’oluvannyuma ku Munnaggwanga.
But glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Kubanga Katonda tasosola mu bantu.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Abo bonna abaayonoona olw’obutamanya mateeka, balizikirira; era n’abo bonna abaamanya amateeka ne boonoona, bwe batyo bwe balisalirwa omusango, okusinziira mu Mateeka.
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 Kuba abawulira obuwulizi amateeka, si be bejjeerera eri Katonda, wabula abo abakola bye galagira, be baliweebwa obutuukirivu.
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified.
14 Abaamawanga abatalina mateeka bwe bakolera mu buzaaliranwa ebintu eby’Amateeka, ebintu ebyo byennyini bifuuka amateeka gye bali, newaakubadde ng’Amateeka tegaabaweebwa.
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 Ekyo kiraga ng’Amateeka gawandiikibbwa mu mitima gyabwe, era kikakasa munda mu birowoozo byabwe, ng’emitima gyabwe giribasaliriza omusango oba okubejjeereza okusinziira ku ekyo kye bamanyi.
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 Kino kiribaawo ku lunaku Katonda kw’aliramulira abantu olw’ebyo bye baakisa, ng’enjiri yange bw’eri ku bwa Yesu Kristo.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.
17 Abamu ku mmwe mweyita Bayudaaya. Mwesiga amateeka ne mwewaana nga bwe mumanyi Katonda.
But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in God,
18 Bwe musoma ebyawandiikibwa muyiga engeri Katonda gy’ayagala mweyise ne muzuula ekituufu.
and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 Mukakasa nga bwe muli abakulembeze b’abazibe b’amaaso, era ettabaaza eri abo bonna abali mu kizikiza.
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 Naye olwokubanga, amateeka ga Katonda gatuwa amagezi n’amazima, mulowooza muyinza okuyigiriza abatali bagezi n’abaana abato.
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.
21 Kale ggwe ayigiriza abalala, lwaki toyinza kweyigiriza wekka? Ategeeza abalala obutabba, tobba?
You therefore who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 Ategeeza obutayenda, toyenda? Akyawa ebifaananyi, si ggwe onyaga eby’omu masabo?
You who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?
23 Mwenyumiririza mu mateeka, naye ne muswaza Katonda olw’obutagatuukiriza.
You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?
24 Ekyawandiikibwa kigamba nti, “Olw’ebikolwa byammwe ebyo, erinnya lya Katonda kyelivudde livvoolebwa mu mawanga.”
For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just as it is written.
25 Okukomolebwa kugasiza ddala bw’okwata amateeka, naye bw’otagatuukiriza tewaba njawulo wakati wo n’atali mukomole.
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 Kale obanga atali mukomole akwata amateeka, talibalibwa ng’eyakomolebwa?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision?
27 Noolwekyo ataakomolebwa mu buzaaliranwa naye ng’akuuma amateeka, alikusaliza omusango gwe alina amateeka amawandiike n’otagatuukiriza ate nga wakomolebwa.
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 Okweyisa ng’Omuyudaaya ate nga wakomolebwa, tekikufuula Muyudaaya yennyini.
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29 Okuba Omuyudaaya yennyini oteekwa okugondera amateeka. Okukomolebwa okutuufu kwe kukomolebwa okubaawo mu mutima, so si okw’omubiri. Omuntu ng’oyo atenderezebwa Katonda, so si abantu.
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.
