Baloma 2
1 Lino obe weshikombolosha banobe, na njobe bani, uliya pakuleyela sobwe. Pakwinga pacindi mpolomboloshonga munobe ukute kulitoteka wenka, pakwinga nenjobe weshikombolosha ukute kubinsa bintu ibyo.
Therefore you are without excuse, you person, you who judge, for what you judge in another you condemn in yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2 Tucinsheti Lesa walulama pakombolosha bantu beshikwinsa bintu byamushoboyo.
But we know that God's judgment is according to truth when it falls on those who practice such things.
3 Nomba obe muntususu, okute kombolosha bantu bambi beshikwinsa bintu ibi, pakwinsa bintu ibi, sena ukute kuyeyeti nukakuleye kombolosha kwa Lesa?
But consider this, you person, you who judge those who practice such things although you do the same things. Will you escape from the judgment of God?
4 Sena ulapubishinga kwina moyo kunene kwa Lesa ne kutakalala bwangu ne moyonteka wakendi? Sena nkocinsheti Lesa lakwinshilinga nkumbo kwambeti usanduke kufuma kubwipishi bwakobe?
Or do you think so little of the riches of his goodness, his delayed punishment, and his patience? Do you not know that his goodness is meant to lead you to repentance?
5 Pakwinga moyo wakobe wayuma kayi nkausanduku, nukatambule cisubulo ca Lesa. Cisubulo ico nicikakuwile pabusuba mboshakaleshe bukalu bwakendi ne kombolosha kwakendi kwalulama.
But it is to the extent of your hardness and unrepentant heart that you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, that is, the day of the revelation of God's righteous judgment.
6 Lesa nakabweshele uliyense kwelana ne incito shakendi.
He will pay back to every person according to his actions:
7 Bantu balapitilishinga kwinsa byaina ne balalangaulunga bulemu ne bulemeneno bwa Lesa ne buyumi butapu, balenshingeco, neye Lesa nakabape buyumi butapu. (aiōnios g166)
to those who according to consistent, good actions have sought praise, honor, and incorruptibility, he will give eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
8 Nomba bantu bakute kwinsa bintu mbyobasuni ne kukana kwinsa byalulama ne kukonkela byaipa, Lesa nakabape cisubulo mubukalu bwakendi.
But to those who are self-seeking, who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness, wrath and fierce anger will come.
9 Mapensho ne makatasho nakabawile beshikwinsa byaipa, kutatikila Bayuda kushikila ne kubantu ba mishobo naimbi.
God will bring tribulation and distress on every human soul that has practiced evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Nsombi Lesa nakabape bulemu ne bulemeneno ne lumuno bonse beshikwinsa byaina, kutatikila Bayuda kushikila ku bantu bamishobo naimbi.
But praise, honor, and peace will come to everyone who practices good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Pakwinga Lesa nkakute kusalaula.
For there is no favoritism with God.
12 Bantu ba mishobo naimbi balabula kwinshiba Milawo ya Mose, ne kwinsa bwipishi, naboyo nibakonongeketi bantu babula kwinshiba Mulawo. Nomba abo Bayuda balepisha kabalibenshiba Milawo ya Mose nibakomboloshewe kwelana ne Mulawo,
For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as have sinned with respect to the law will be judged by the law.
13 Pakwinga bantu balulama pamenso a Lesa ntebo bakute kunyumfwowa Milawo sobwe. Nsombi bakute kwinsa mbuli Mulawo nceulambanga.
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be justified.
14 Naboyo bantu babula kuba Bayuda babula Mulawo, nsombi na balenshi mbuli Milawo ncoikute kwamba palwabo bene, bakute kulesheti bakute Milawo mumyoyo yabo, nambi baliya Milawo ya Mose.
For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, they are a law to themselves, although they do not have the law.
15 Bwikalo bwabo bukute kulesheti Milawo yalembwa mumyoyo yabo. Kayi myoyo yabo ikute kulesheti nicakubinga, pakwinga mengashilo abo nacimbi cindi akute kubatoteka kayi ne kubasuminisha.
By this they show that the actions required by the law are written in their hearts. Their conscience also bears witness to them, and their own thoughts either accuse or defend them to themselves
16 Mbuli Mulumbe Waina ngonkute kukambauka nicikabe mushoboyo pabusuba Lesa mposhakomboloshe bantu kupitila muli Yesu Klistu pali ibyo byasolekwa mbyobakute kuyeya bene.
and also to God. That will happen on the day when God will judge the secrets of all people, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.
17 Nomba lino obe ukute kulyambeti o Muyuda wacinkila manungo mu Milawo, kayi ukute kulisumpula muli Lesa wakobe.
But if you call yourself a Jew and rest upon the law and boast in God,
18 Ucinshi ncalayandanga Lesa kwambeti winse, kayi waleishiwa mu Milawo, kusala byaina nambi byaipa.
and know his will and approve of what is excellent because you have been instructed from the law;
19 Washometi njobe mutangunishi wa bantu bashipilwa, mumuni weshikumunikila bantu bali mumushinshe,
and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 kayi njobe shikwiyisha baluya ne bantu batacinshi. Washometi mu Milawo muli lwinshibo lwa bintu byancine ncine byonse.
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of little children, and that you have in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth, then how does this affect the way you live your life?
21 Nomba obe shikwiyisha banobe, nicani nkokute kuliyisha omwine? Obe shikukambauketi, “Kwiba sobwe.” Nicani obe ukute kwiba?
You who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
22 Nomba uleishingeti, “Nkamwelela kwinsa bupombo.” Nicani obe ulenshinga bupombo? Wapela kukambilila tumbwanga, nomba kayi nicani ukute kuya mu ng'anda kuya kwibamo tumbwanga?
You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hate idols, do you rob temples?
23 Ukute kulisumpuleti nkute Milawo ya Lesa, nomba nicani ulapanga nsoni Lesa pakupwaya Milawo?
You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
24 Mbuli Mabala ncakute kwambeti, “Bantu bamishoboyo naimbi bakute kunyansha Lesa pacebo ca njamwe Bayuda.”
For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it has been written.
25 Na ukute kukonka Milawo ya Mose kupalulwa kwakobe kulicena. Nomba na nkokute kukonka Milawo caina kwambeti wikale kwakubula kupalulwa.
For circumcision indeed benefits you if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.
26 Nomba na muntu wabula kupalulwa lakonkonga Milawo ya Mose, sena muntuyu pamenso a Lesa nteshakabeti muntu wapalulwa, necikabeti nkapalulwa?
If, then, the uncircumcised person keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered as circumcision?
27 Weco muntu wabula kupalulwa ukute kukonka Milawo endiye weshi akamutoteke amwe Bayuda mwapalulwa kayi mukute Milawo yalembwa, nsombi mukute kwipwaya.
And will not the one who is naturally uncircumcised condemn you if he keeps the law? This is because you have the written law and circumcision, yet you break the law!
28 Bintu ibi bilaleshengeti Muyuda mwine nteyo lalileshenga kubantu eti ni Muyuda sobwe. Kayi kupalulwa kwancine ncine nteko nkobakute kwinsa kumubili sobwe.
For he is not a Jew who is merely one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is merely outward in the flesh.
29 Neco, Muyuda mwine ni uyo Muyuda mumoyo, kayi kupalulwa kwakendi nikwamumoyo kweshikwinshika ne Mushimu Uswepa, kwakubula Milawo sobwe. Weshikulumba muntu wa mushoboyo nte muntu sobwe nsombi ni Lesa.
But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter. The praise of such a person comes not from people but from God.
