Baroma 2

1 Go siame, o ka ne kgotsa o re, “O ntse o bua kaga batho ba ba sa siamang thata jang!” Iketle pele! Le wena o tshwana nabo. Fa lo re ba ikepile ba tshwanetse go otlhaiwa, go ithaya lona gonne lo dira tsone fela ditiro tse ba di dirang.

Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.

2 Mme re itse gore Modimo mo tshekisong o tlaa otlhaya le fa e le mang yo o dirang dilo tse di tshwanang le tse.

But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3 A o gopola gore Modimo o tlaa sekisa o bo o atlhola ba bangwe ka ntlha ya go dira dilo tseo mme o go tlodise matlho fa le wena o ntse o di dira?

And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

4 A ga o lemoge ka fa Modimo o leng pelotelele mo go wena ka teng? Kgotsa a ga o tshwenyege ka gope? A ga o bone gore o ntse o sa go otlhae mo lobakeng lo lotlhe, e le go go naya sebaka sa go sokologa mo sebeng? Bopelonomi jwa one bo diretswe go go gogela kwa boikwatlhaong.

Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

5 Mme le fa go ntse jalo, ga o reetse; mme ka go dira jalo o ipolokela kwatlhao e e setlhogo ka ntlha ya botlhogo-e-thata jwa gago jwa go gana go soko-loga mo sebeng; gonne go tlaa tla letsatsi la bogale fa Modimo o tlaa bong o le moatlhodi yo o sa patikeng wa lefatshe lotlhe.

But after your hardness and refusing to repent heart treasure up unto yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 O tlaa naya mongwe le mongwe tuelo ka fa ditirong tsa gagwe.

Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 O tlaa naya botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ba ba dirang go rata ga Modimo ka bopelotelele, ba batla kgalalelo e e sa bonweng ka matlho le tlotlo le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng jo o bo abang. (aiōnios g166)

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

8 Mme o tlaa otlhaya setlhogo ba ba tlhabantshang boammaaruri jwa Modimo ba tsamaya mo ditseleng tse di bosula, bogale jwa Modimo bo tlaa ba wela godimo.

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

9 Go tlaa nna khutsafalo le pogisego mo Bajuteng le mo go Badichaba ba ba tswelelang ba dira boleo.

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

10 Mme go tlaa nna kgalalelo le tlotlo le kagiso e tswa kwa Modimong e le tsa ba ba o reetsang, le fa e ka ne e le Bajuta kgotsa Badichaba.

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

11 Gonne Modimo o tsaya batho ka tekatekanyo.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 O tlaa otlhaya sebe gongwe le gongwe kwa se bonwang teng. O tlaa otlhaya baheitane fa ba leofa, le fa ba ise ba ke ba nne le melao ya Modimo e e kwadilweng, gonne mo botennye jwa dipelo tsa bone ba itse tshiamo le bosula.

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 Melao ya Modimo e kwadilwe mo go bone; segakolodi sa bone se ba baya molato, ka nako e nngwe se dumalana nabo.

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

14 Mme Modimo o tlaa otlhaela Bajuta go leofa gonne ba na le melao ya one e e kwadilweng mme ga ba e tshegetse.

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 Ba itse se se siameng mme ga ba se dire. Kana poloko ga e newe ba ba itseng se ba tshwanetseng go se dira, fa e se fela ba se dira.

Which show 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 Ammaaruri letsatsi le tlaa tla fa ka taolo ya Modimo, Jesu Keresete o tlaa atlholang masaitsiweng a mongwe le mongwe, maikutlo a bone a a kwa teng le maikaelelo a bone; se ke bontlha bongwe jwa leano la Modimo le legolo le ke lo le bolelelang.

In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

17 Lona Bajuta lo gopola gore gotlhe go siame fa gare ga lona le Modimo gonne o lo neetse melao ya one; lo ipelafatsa ka gore lo ithaya lo re lo ditsala tsa one tse di tlhophegileng.

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,

18 Ee, lo itse se o se batlang; lo itse pharologanyo ya bosula le molemo mme lo rata tshiamo gonne lo rutilwe melao ya one go tsweng bonyaneng jwa lona.

And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19 Lo tlhomamisa tota tsela e e yang kwa Modimong mo e leng gore lo ka e supegetsa le sone sefofu tota. Lo ipona lo le masedi a a bontshang tsela, lo kaela batho ba ba latlhegetseng mo lefifing tsela ya go ya kwa Modimong.

And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

20 Lo akanya gore lo ka goga dieleele lwa ba lwa ruta le bana ditiro tsa Modimo, gonne lo itse melao ya one sentle e e tletseng kitso yotlhe le boammaaruri.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21 Ee, lo ruta ba bangwe, jaanong ke eng fa lona lo sa ithute? Lo raya ba bangwe lo re ba seka ba utswa, a e bile lo a utswa?

You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?

22 Lwa re go phoso go dira kgokafalo a ebile lo a e dira? Lwa re, “Go seka ga rapelwa medimo ya disetwa,” mme lona lo dira madi modimo wa lona wa disetwa mo boemong jwa go rapela Modimo.

You that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?

23 Lo ipelafatsa thata ka go itse melao ya Modimo, mme lo o tlontlolola ka go e roba.

You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonour you God?

24 Ga go gakgamatse fa Dikwalo di re lefatshe le bua bosula ka ga Modimo ka ntlha ya lona.

For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25 Go nna Mojuta go botlhokwa fa o tshegetsa melao ya Modimo; mme fa o sa e tshegetse, ga o botoka go na le moheitane.

For circumcision verily profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.

26 Mme fa baheitane ba tshegetsa melao ya Modimo, a Modimo ga o kitla o ba naya ditshwanelo tsotlhe le tlotlo e o neng o ikaeletse go e naya Bajuta?

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

27 Ammaaruri baheitane bao ba tlaa nna botoka thata go na le lona Bajuta ba lo itseng thata kaga Modimo ebile lo na le ditsholofetso tsa one mme lo sa tshegetse melao ya one.

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?

28 Gonne ga lo Bajuta tota, fela ka ntlha ya gore lo tsetswe ke batsadi ba Sejuta kgotsa ka ntlha ya gore lo rupisitswe mo mokgweng wa Sejuta, ebong modiro wa bogwera.

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 Nnyaa, Mojuta tota ke mongwe fela yo pelo ya gagwe e siameng mo Modimong. Gonne ga o batle ba ba kgaolang ditokololo dingwe tsa mebele ya bone go rupisiwa ga senama, mme o batla ba ba fetogileng dipelo le mewa. Le fa e le mang yo o nang le phetogo e e ntseng jalo mo botshelong jwa gagwe o tlaa amogela pako e e tswang kwa Modimong, le fa e sa tswe mo go lona.

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, (pneuma) and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
