Warumi 2
1 Kwa hiyo huna udhuru wowote, wewe utoaye hukumu kwa mwingine, kwa maana katika jambo lolote unalowahukumu wengine, unajihukumu wewe mwenyewe kwa sababu wewe unayehukumu unafanya mambo hayo hayo.
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 Basi tunajua kwamba hukumu ya Mungu dhidi ya wale wafanyao mambo kama hayo ni ya kweli.
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 Hivyo wewe mwanadamu, utoapo hukumu juu yao na bado unafanya mambo yale yale, unadhani utaepuka hukumu ya Mungu?
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 Au waudharau wingi wa wema, ustahimili na uvumilivu wake, bila kujua kuwa wema wa Mungu wakuelekeza kwenye toba?
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Lakini kwa sababu ya ukaidi wenu na mioyo yenu isiyotaka kutubu, mnajiwekea akiba ya ghadhabu dhidi yenu wenyewe kwa siku ile ya ghadhabu ya Mungu, wakati hukumu yake ya haki itakapodhihirishwa.
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 Kwa maana Mungu atamlipa kila mtu sawasawa na matendo yake.
who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7 Wale ambao kwa kuvumilia katika kutenda mema hutafuta utukufu, heshima na maisha yasiyoharibika, Mungu atawapa uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, consummate (aiōnios g166) life;
8 Lakini kwa wale watafutao mambo yao wenyewe na wale wanaokataa kweli na kuzifuata njia mbaya, kutakuwa na ghadhabu na hasira ya Mungu.
but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9 Kutakuwa na taabu na dhiki kwa kila mmoja atendaye maovu, Myahudi kwanza na mtu wa Mataifa pia,
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 bali utukufu, heshima na amani kwa ajili ya kila mmoja atendaye mema, kwa Myahudi kwanza, kisha kwa mtu wa Mataifa.
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Kwa maana Mungu hana upendeleo.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Watu wote waliotenda dhambi pasipo sheria wataangamia pasipo sheria, nao wote wale waliotenda dhambi chini ya sheria watahukumiwa kwa sheria.
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 Kwa maana si wale wanaoisikia sheria ambao ni wenye haki mbele za Mungu, bali ni wale wanaoitii sheria ndio watakaohesabiwa haki.
For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
14 (Naam, wakati wa watu wa Mataifa, ambao hawana sheria, wanapofanya kwa asili mambo yatakiwayo na sheria, wao ni sheria kwa nafsi zao wenyewe, hata ingawa hawana sheria.
(for when Gentiles 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 Wao wanaonyesha kwamba lile linalotakiwa na sheria limeandikwa kwenye mioyo yao, ambayo pia dhamiri zao zikiwashuhudia, nayo mawazo yao yenye kupingana yatawashtaki au kuwatetea.)
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 Hili litatukia siku hiyo Mungu atakapozihukumu siri za wanadamu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, kama isemavyo Injili yangu.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
17 Tazama, wewe ukiwa unaitwa Myahudi na kuitegemea sheria na kujisifia uhusiano wako na Mungu,
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 kama unajua mapenzi ya Mungu na kukubali lililo bora kwa sababu umefundishwa na hiyo sheria,
know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 kama unatambua kuwa wewe ni kiongozi wa vipofu, na mwanga kwa wale walio gizani,
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 mkufunzi wa wajinga na mwalimu wa watoto wachanga, kwa kuwa una maarifa ya kweli katika hiyo sheria,
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21 basi wewe, uwafundishaye wengine, mbona hujifunzi mwenyewe? Wewe uhubiriye kwamba mtu asiibe, wewe mwenyewe waiba?
You therefore who teach another, do not you teach yourself? You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 Wewe usemaye mtu asizini, wewe mwenyewe wazini? Wewe uchukiaye miungu ya sanamu, wafanya jambo la kumchukiza katika mahekalu?
You who say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Wewe ujivuniaye sheria, wamwaibisha Mungu kwa kuvunja sheria?
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24 Kama ilivyoandikwa, “Kwa ajili yenu ninyi, Jina la Mungu linatukanwa miongoni mwa watu wa Mataifa.”
For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
25 Kutahiriwa kuna thamani ikiwa unatii sheria, lakini kama unavunja sheria, kutahiriwa kwako kumekuwa kutokutahiriwa.
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 Hivyo, ikiwa wale wasiotahiriwa wanatimiza mambo ambayo sheria inataka, je, kutokutahiriwa kwao hakutahesabiwa kuwa sawa na kutahiriwa?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, will not his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27 Ndipo wale ambao hawakutahiriwa kimwili lakini wanaitii sheria watawahukumu ninyi, ambao ingawa mmetahiriwa na kuijua sana sheria ya Mungu iliyoandikwa, lakini mwaivunja.
Will not those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
28 Kwa maana mtu si Myahudi kwa vile alivyo kwa nje, wala tohara ya kweli si kitu cha nje au cha kimwili.
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
29 Lakini mtu ni Myahudi alivyo ndani, nayo tohara ya kweli ni jambo la moyoni, ni la Roho, wala si la sheria iliyoandikwa. Mtu wa namna hiyo hapokei sifa kutoka kwa wanadamu bali kwa Mungu.
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.
