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.
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 Basi tunajua kwamba hukumu ya Mungu dhidi ya wale wafanyao mambo kama hayo ni ya kweli.
And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.
3 Hivyo wewe mwanadamu, utoapo hukumu juu yao na bado unafanya mambo yale yale, unadhani utaepuka hukumu ya Mungu?
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 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 for thyself wrath in 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 works:
7 Wale ambao kwa kuvumilia katika kutenda mema hutafuta utukufu, heshima na maisha yasiyoharibika, Mungu atawapa uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honour and incorruption, 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 factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,
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 worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of 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 and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:
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 under law shall be judged by 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 a law are just before God, but the doers of a 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 Gentiles which have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no 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.)
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 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, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.
17 Tazama, wewe ukiwa unaitwa Myahudi na kuitegemea sheria na kujisifia uhusiano wako na Mungu,
But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in 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 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 that 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 babes, 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?
thou therefore that 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 rob temples?
23 Wewe ujivuniaye sheria, wamwaibisha Mungu kwa kuvunja sheria?
thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of 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 because of you, even as it is written.
25 Kutahiriwa kuna thamani ikiwa unatii sheria, lakini kama unavunja sheria, kutahiriwa kwako kumekuwa kutokutahiriwa.
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 Hivyo, ikiwa wale wasiotahiriwa wanatimiza mambo ambayo sheria inataka, je, kutokutahiriwa kwao hakutahesabiwa kuwa sawa na kutahiriwa?
If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned 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 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 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, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
