Warumi 2
1 Kwa hiyo hauna udhuru, wewe uhukumuye, kwa maana katika yale uhukumuyo mwingine wajitia hatiani mwenyewe. Kwa maana wewe uhukumuye unafanya mambo yale yale.
Therefore, O man, thou are without excuse, every man who judges, for in what thou judge the other man, thou condemn thyself, for the man who judges is doing the same things.
2 Lakini twajua kwamba hukumu ya Mungu ni ya kweli juu yao wafanyao mambo kama hayo.
And we know that the judgment of God is in accordance with truth against those who commit such things.
3 Lakini wewe tafakari hili, wewe ambaye unahukumu wale wanaotenda mambo hayo ingawa nawe unafanya mambo yayo hayo. Je utaepuka hukumu ya Mungu?
And think thou this, O man who judge those who do such things and do the same, that thou will escape the judgment of God?
4 Au unafikiri kidogo sana juu ya wingi wa wema wake, kuchelewa kwa adhabu yake, na uvumilivu wake? Je, hujui kwamba wema wake unapaswa kukuelekeza katika toba?
Or do thou despise the wealth of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God guides thee to repentance?
5 Bali kwa kadiri ya ugumu wako na kwa moyo wako usio na toba wajiwekea mwenyewe akiba ya ghadhabu kwa siku ile ya ghadhabu, yaani, siku ile ya ufunuo wa hukumu ya haki ya Mungu.
But according to thy hardness, and thy impenitent heart, thou store up wrath to thyself in the day of wrath, and revelation, and righteous judgment of God,
6 Yeye atamlipa kila mtu kipimo sawa na matendo yake:
who will render to each man according to his works,
7 kwa wale ambao kwa uthabiti wa matendo mema wametafuta sifa, heshima na kutokuharibika, atawapa uzima wa milele. (aiōnios g166)
to those who indeed seek by perseverance of good work, glory and esteem and immortality-eternal life- (aiōnios g166)
8 Lakini kwa wale ambao ni wabinafsi, wasioitii kweli bali hutii dhuluma, ghadhabu na hasira kali itakuja.
but to those of self-interest, and who indeed disobey the truth but have confidence in unrighteousness-anger and wrath,
9 Mungu ataleta dhiki na shida juu ya kila nafsi ya binadamu aliyefanya uovu, kwa Myahudi kwanza, na kwa Myunani pia.
pressure and restriction, upon every soul of man who produces evil, both of the Jew first, and of the Greek,
10 Lakini sifa, heshima na amani itakuja kwa kila mtu atendaye mema, kwa Myahudi kwanza, na kwa Myunani pia.
but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
11 Kwa maana hakuna upendeleo kwa Mungu.
For there is no partiality with God.
12 Kwa maana kama vile wengi waliokosa pasipo sheria watapotea pasipo sheria, na kama vile wengi waliokosa kulingana na sheria watahukumiwa kwa sheria.
For as many as have sinned without law will also be destroyed without law, and as many as have sinned in law will be judged by law.
13 Maana si wasikiaji wa sheria walio wenye haki mbele za Mungu, bali ni wale waitendao sheria watakaohesabiwa haki.
For the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law will be made righteous.
14 Kwa maana watu wa Mataifa, ambao hawana sheria, wanafanya kwa asili mambo ya sheria, wao, wamekuwa sheria kwa nafsi zao, ingawa wao hawana sheria.
For when the Gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these men, not having law, are a law to themselves.
15 Kwa hili wanaonesha kwamba matendo yanayohitajika kwa mujibu wa sheria yameandikwa ndani ya mioyo yao. Dhamiri zao pia zinawashuhudia wao, na mawazo yao wenyewe ama huwashitaki au huwalinda wao wenyewe
Who show the work of the law written in their hearts, testifying of their conscience, and their thoughts amidst each other accusing or also defending them
16 na pia kwa Mungu. Haya yatatokea katika siku ambayo Mungu atazihukumu siri za watu wote, sawasawa na injili yangu, kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo.
in a day when God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my good news.
17 Tuseme kwamba unajiita mwenyewe Myahudi, aliyekaa katika sheria, shangilia kwa kujisifu katika Mungu,
Behold, thou are called a Jew, and rely upon the law, and boast in God,
18 yajue mapenzi yake, na kupima mambo ambayo yanatofautiana nayo, baada ya kuagizwa na sheria.
and know his will, and approve the things that are significant, being instructed out of the law.
19 Na tuseme kwamba una ujasiri kwamba wewe mwenyewe ni kiongozi wa kipofu, mwanga kwa wale walio gizani,
And thou have confidence in thyself to be a guide of the blind, a light of those in darkness,
20 msahihishaji wa wajinga, mwalimu wa watoto, na kwamba unayo katika sheria jinsi ya elimu na kweli.
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childlike, having in the law the essence of knowledge and truth,
21 Wewe basi, uhubiriye mwingine, je, hujifundishi mwenyewe? Wewe uhubiriye kutokuiba, je wewe huiba?
thou therefore who teach another, do thou not teach thyself? Thou who preach not to steal, do thou steal?
22 Wewe usemae usizini, je unazini? Wewe uchukiaye sanamu, je unaiba hekaluni?
Thou who say not to commit adultery, do thou commit adultery? Thou who abhor idols, do thou rob temples?
23 Wewe ujisifuye katika sheria, je haumfedheheshi Mungu katika kuvunja sheria?
Thou who boast in law, dishonor God by thy transgression of the law.
24 Kwa maana “jina la Mungu linafedheheshwa kati ya watu wa mataifa kwa sababu yenu,” kama ilivyoandikwa.
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, just as it is written.
25 Kwa maana Kutahiriwa kweli kwafaa kama ukitii sheria, lakini kama wewe ni mkiukaji wa sheria, kutahiriwa kwako kunakuwa kutokutahiriwa.
For circumcision is indeed beneficial if thou perform law, but if thou are a transgressor of law, thy circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Basi, ikiwa, mtu asiyetahiriwa anaendelea kushika matakwa ya sheria, je kutokutahiriwa kwake hakutachukuliwa kana kwamba ametahiriwa?
If therefore a man of uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered circumcision?
27 Na yeye asiyetahiriwa kwa asili hatakuhukumu kama akitimiza sheria? Hii ni kwa sababu una maandiko yaliyoandikwa na tohara pia lakini bado u mkiukaji wa sheria!
And the man of natural uncircumcision who fulfills the law, will judge thee, a transgressor of law through a document and circumcision.
28 Kwa maana yeye si Myahudi aliye kwa hali ya nje; wala kutahiriwa si kule ambako ni kwa nje tu katika mwili.
For he is not a Jew in what is visible, nor is circumcision in what is visible, in flesh,
29 Lakini yeye ni Myahudi aliye kwa ndani, na tohara ni ya moyo, katika roho, si katika andiko. Sifa ya mtu wa namna hiyo haitokani na watu bali yatoka kwa Mungu.
but he is a Jew in what is hidden, and circumcision is of the heart, in spirit not a document, whose praise is not from men but from God.
