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.
Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise 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.
And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise 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 reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt 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 despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 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 thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself 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 render to every man according to his 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 them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, 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 factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,
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 worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of 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 and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
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 under law shall be judged by 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 a law are just before God, but the doers of a 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 Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no 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.
in that they shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [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 shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
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 thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest 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 knowest his will, and approvest 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 art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that 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 babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the 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?
thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou 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.
thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?
23 Lo ipelafatsa thata ka go itse melao ya Modimo, mme lo o tlontlolola ka go e roba.
thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonourest thou 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 because of you, even 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 profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is 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 uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned 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 the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art 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, 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, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
