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

Now we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who practice 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 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 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 do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, 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 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 O tlaa naya mongwe le mongwe tuelo ka fa ditirong tsa gagwe.

who "will pay back to everyone according to their works:"

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 those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality -- everlasting 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 to those who are self-seeking, and do not obey the truth, but obey wickedness -- wrath and anger,

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

affliction and distress, on every human being who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

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, honor, and peace for everyone who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 Gonne Modimo o tsaya batho ka tekatekanyo.

For there is no partiality 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 the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will 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 it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will 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 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 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.

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 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 will judge the secrets of people, according to my Good News, by Christ Jesus.

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.

But if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law, and boast in 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 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 to those who 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.

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth.

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 who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, 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 who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?

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

You who boast in the law, do you, by disobeying the law, dishonor God?

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

For because of you the name of God is blasphemed among the nations, just 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 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 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?

If therefore the uncircumcised keep the requirements of the law, won't his uncircumcision be counted as 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.

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 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 who 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 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.
