< Bhaloma 2 >

1 Kwa nneyo, monaga nkwiitemba kwaukumula bhananji, nkakola sha kwiibheleketela. Nnakwiukumula mmayene, pabha numbe mmwe inkutenda yoyo peyo.
Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2 Na uwe tumumanyi kuti ukumu ja a Nnungu ni ja kweli, kwa bhatendanga indu malinga yeneyo.
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 Ikabheje mmwe anamundupe, nkwaukumulanga bhaatendanga indu malinga yeneyo, akuno mmayene nnitenda yoyo. Bhuli, punkuganishiya kuti shimwiembuye na ukumu ja a Nnungu?
Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
4 Eu nnakuunyegaya uguja gwa a Nnungu, na kwiitimalika na kwiipililila kwabho, gwangali kumumanya kuti uguja gwabho unakunnongoya mwiipete?
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Ikabheje kwa ligongo lya mitau na nonopa kwa ntima gwenu, nnakwiigosheya nnjimwa, lyubha lya nnjimwa ja a Nnungu, na ukumu jabho ja aki.
But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
6 Pabha lyene lyubhalyo, a Nnungu bhapinga kwiya kwaalipanga bhandunji bhowe malinga ibhatendangaga.
who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7 Bhene bhaatendanga ya uguja gwangali kutotoshela, bhanaloleyanga kukopoka kwa a Nnungu, ukonjelo na ishimika na gumi gwangali angabhanika, na shibhapegwanje gumi gwa pitipiti. (aiōnios g166)
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
8 Ikabheje bhananji bhaakwetelanga na bhaakananga indu ya aki bhala, nikagulila yangali ya mmbone, shibhajibhonanje nnjimwa ja a Nnungu.
but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9 Mboteko na shilaje shiimpate mundu jojowe atenda yangali ya mmbone, kutandubhila Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki.
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Ikabheje, ukonjelo na ishima na ulele, shibhapegwanje bhandunji bhaatendanga indu ya aki bhala, kutandubhila Bhayaudi na Bhagiliki.
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Pabha a Nnungu bhangali luagu.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Bhowe bhatendilenje yambi gwangali kujimanya shalia ja a Musha, shibhapotekwanje nngabha kwa ligongo lya shalia, na bhowe bhatendilenje yambi akuno bhalikujimanyanga shalia ja a Musha, shibhaukumulwanje kwa tolelela shalia ja a Musha pejo.
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 Na nngabha bhakujipilikananga shalia ni bhakwete aki kwa a Nnungu, ikabheje bhaakundanga shalia bhala, nibhaakolanga aki.
For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
14 Bhandunji bha ilambo ina bhangalinginji shalia, pubhaatendanga indu ya shalia kwa ng'aniyo ya muntima gwabhonji bhanabhanganga bhandunji bha shalia, nkali bhanakolanje shalia.
(for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
15 Bhanalanguyanga malajilo ga shalia jijandishwe mmitima jabhonji, ng'aniyo yabhonji ilikwakong'ondelanga na ilikwalonganga na guna ilikwaabheleketelanga ashaayenenji.
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
16 Yeneyo ni ipinga koposhela, lyubha lya ukumu ja a Nnungu, pushibhaukumule indu ya nng'iyo kupitila a Yeshu Kilishitu, malinga shijikuti taya Ngani ja Mmbone jingulunguyaji.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17 Pabha mmwe nkwiishema mmayene Mmayaudi, nnakulupalila shalia, na nnakwiiniya kuti bha a Nnungu.
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 Mmwe nnikuimanya ibhapinga a Nnungu, na kunda indu ya mmbone, pabha nshijiganywa na shalia.
know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 Mmwe punkwiiganishiya kuti mmayene akalongolele bha ashinangalole, na kabhili mmwe shilangaya sha bhandu bhalinginji nnubhindu,
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 mmajiganya bha mabhelu na bhana bhashoko, pabha kwa shalia, mwiimanyi ukoto indu ya lumanyio na kweli.
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21 Bhai mmwe nkwaajiganyanga bhananji, kwa nndi nkakwiijiganya mmayene? Mmwe nkwaalimbiyanga bhananji bhanajibhanje, akuno mmayene nnijibha.
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22 Mmwe nkulunguya kuti, “Mundu analabhelabhe” akuno mmayene nnilabhalabha. Inakunshima yanamu ya ashinnungu, mbena nnijibha indu ya mmajumba gabhonji.
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Nnikwiiniya kuti nkwete shalia ja a Nnungu, nkakumumanya kuti kuleka kamula shalia, nnakwanyegaya a Nnungu?
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24 Malinga Majandiko ga Ukonjelo shigalugula, “Bhandunji bha ilambo ina, bhashikulitukananga lina lya a Nnungu, kwa ligongo lyenunji.”
For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
25 Pabha kujaluka kunapwaa punkukamulila shalia ja a Musha, ikabheje nkakamulile shalia ja a Musha, shimme mbuti mmalenje.
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 Bhai monaga mundu jwangajaluka anakamulila shalia ja a Musha, bhuli na ulenje gwakwe akaganishiywa kuti ajalwishe?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27 Na jwene jwa nngabha munkubho gwa jaluka, ikabhe anakamulila shalia ja a Musha, bhuli akanng'ukumula mmwe nni munkubho gwa jaluka, na akuno nkakamulila shalia ja a Musha?
Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28 Pabha jwenejo, nngabha Nnyaudi kwa bhoneka palanga, na kujaluka nngabha kwa nshiilupe.
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29 Ikabhe jwenejo ni Nnyaudi, ali Nnyaudi jwa nkati, na kujaluka kwakwe kwa muntima kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, nngabha kwa mmajandiko ga shalia. Mundu jwa nneyo, kuiniywa kwakwe nngabha kubhandunji ikabhe kwa a Nnungu.
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.
