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 thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 Basi tunajua kwamba hukumu ya Mungu dhidi ya wale wafanyao mambo kama hayo ni ya kweli.
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 Hivyo wewe mwanadamu, utoapo hukumu juu yao na bado unafanya mambo yale yale, unadhani utaepuka hukumu ya Mungu?
And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt 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 despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee 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 after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Kwa maana Mungu atamlipa kila mtu sawasawa na matendo yake.
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 Wale ambao kwa kuvumilia katika kutenda mema hutafuta utukufu, heshima na maisha yasiyoharibika, Mungu atawapa uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
8 Lakini kwa wale watafutao mambo yao wenyewe na wale wanaokataa kweli na kuzifuata njia mbaya, kutakuwa na ghadhabu na hasira ya Mungu.
But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Kutakuwa na taabu na dhiki kwa kila mmoja atendaye maovu, Myahudi kwanza na mtu wa Mataifa pia,
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 bali utukufu, heshima na amani kwa ajili ya kila mmoja atendaye mema, kwa Myahudi kwanza, kisha kwa mtu wa Mataifa.
But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 Kwa maana Mungu hana upendeleo.
For there is no respect of persons 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 law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall 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 not the hearers of the law [are] just before God, but the doers of the law shall 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 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 Wao wanaonyesha kwamba lile linalotakiwa na sheria limeandikwa kwenye mioyo yao, ambayo pia dhamiri zao zikiwashuhudia, nayo mawazo yao yenye kupingana yatawashtaki au kuwatetea.)
Which shew 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 Hili litatukia siku hiyo Mungu atakapozihukumu siri za wanadamu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo, kama isemavyo Injili yangu.
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Tazama, wewe ukiwa unaitwa Myahudi na kuitegemea sheria na kujisifia uhusiano wako na Mungu,
Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
18 kama unajua mapenzi ya Mungu na kukubali lililo bora kwa sababu umefundishwa na hiyo sheria,
And knowest [his] will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 kama unatambua kuwa wewe ni kiongozi wa vipofu, na mwanga kwa wale walio gizani,
And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 mkufunzi wa wajinga na mwalimu wa watoto wachanga, kwa kuwa una maarifa ya kweli katika hiyo sheria,
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 basi wewe, uwafundishaye wengine, mbona hujifunzi mwenyewe? Wewe uhubiriye kwamba mtu asiibe, wewe mwenyewe waiba?
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
22 Wewe usemaye mtu asizini, wewe mwenyewe wazini? Wewe uchukiaye miungu ya sanamu, wafanya jambo la kumchukiza katika mahekalu?
Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
23 Wewe ujivuniaye sheria, wamwaibisha Mungu kwa kuvunja sheria?
Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
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 through you, as it is written.
25 Kutahiriwa kuna thamani ikiwa unatii sheria, lakini kama unavunja sheria, kutahiriwa kwako kumekuwa kutokutahiriwa.
For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Hivyo, ikiwa wale wasiotahiriwa wanatimiza mambo ambayo sheria inataka, je, kutokutahiriwa kwao hakutahesabiwa kuwa sawa na kutahiriwa?
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 Ndipo wale ambao hawakutahiriwa kimwili lakini wanaitii sheria watawahukumu ninyi, ambao ingawa mmetahiriwa na kuijua sana sheria ya Mungu iliyoandikwa, lakini mwaivunja.
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress 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, which 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, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God.
