Loma 2

1 Ko ia, ʻe tangata, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻe ʻikai te ke hao koe: he ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke fakamaau ai ha taha, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ai koe; he ko koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.

2 Ka ʻoku tau ʻilo pau ʻoku taau mo e fai totonu ʻae fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.

For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.

3 Pea ko koe, ʻe tangata, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ka ʻoku ke fai pehē pe ʻe koe, ʻoku ke mahalo te ke hao koe mei he fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua?

But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?

4 Pe ʻoku ke loto manuki ki he lahi faufau ʻo ʻene angalelei, mo e faʻa kātaki, mo e kātaki ʻofa; ʻo ʻikai te ke ʻilo ko e angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ko e meʻa ke tataki koe ki he fakatomala?

Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?

5 Ka ʻi ho loto fefeka mo e taʻefakatomala, ʻoku ke fokotuʻu ai maʻau ʻae houhau ki he ʻaho ʻoe houhau, mo e fakahā ʻoe fakamaau totonu ʻae ʻOtua;

But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 ‌ʻAia te ne ʻatu ai ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue:

who will give to each one according to his works:

7 Ko e moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki he ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e moʻui taʻemate, ʻi he fakakukafi maʻuaipē ʻi he fai lelei: (aiōnios g166)

to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)

8 Ka ko e mamahi mo e houhau kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu, pea ʻikai talangofua ki he moʻoni, kae talangofua ki he taʻemāʻoniʻoni,

but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath.

9 Ko e tautea mo e feinga ki he laumālie ʻoe tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki;

Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek;

10 Ka ko e ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e fiemālie, ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lelei, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki:

but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 He ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ha filifilimānako ki he tangata.

For there is no respect of persons with God.

12 He ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala taʻehafono, ʻe ʻauha foki taʻehafono: pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala kuo ai ʻae fono, ʻe fakamaau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae fono;

For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

13 (He ʻoku ʻikai tonuhia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae kau fanongo ki he fono, ka ko e kau fai ki he fono ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi.

for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14 Koeʻuhi ʻi he fai mei honau loto ʻe he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he fono, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fono, pea ko kinautolu ni ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻae fono, ko e fono ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu:

For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 ‌ʻAkinautolu ʻoku fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fono kuo tohi tongi ʻi honau konsenisi, pea fakamoʻoni mo honau loto foki, pea ʻoku fakahalaʻi pe fakatonuhiaʻi [ʻakinautolu ]ʻe [heʻenau ngaahi ]fakakaukau; )

who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,

16 ‌ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fakamaau ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻi he kakai, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku ongoongolelei.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.

17 Vakai, ʻoku ui koe ko e Siu, pea ʻoku ke falala ki he fono, pea ʻoku ke vikiviki ʻi he ʻOtua,

But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,

18 Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo hono finangalo, pea ʻoku ke faʻa ʻiloʻi mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai kehekehe, he kuo akonekina koe mei he fono;

and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law;

19 Pea ʻoku ke pole ko e tataki ʻoe kui, ko e maama kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli.

and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant,

20 Ko e fakahinohino ʻoe vale, ko e akonaki ʻoe kau valevale, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ʻilo mo e moʻoni ʻi he fono.

a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;

21 Ko ia ko koe ʻoku ke akonakiʻi ʻae taha kehe, ʻOku ʻikai te ke akonakiʻi koe? Ko koe ʻoku ke malanga “Ke ʻoua naʻa kaihaʻa,” ʻoku ke kaihaʻa ʻe koe?

therefore do not you who teach another teach yourself? do you, who preach not to steal, steal?

22 Ko koe ʻoku ke pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tono fefine,” ʻoku [moʻoni]?

do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples?

23 Ko koe ʻoku ke vikiviki ki he fono, ʻikai ʻoku ke fakaongokoviʻi ʻe koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo maumauʻi ʻae fono?

do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?

24 He ko e meʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lauʻikovi ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he kakai Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi.

For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.

25 He ʻoku ʻaonga moʻoni ʻae kamu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke fai ki he fono: pea kapau ʻoku ke kei maumauʻi ʻae fono, ʻoku liliu ai hoʻo kamu ko e taʻekamu.

For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

26 Ko ia kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻae anga māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono, ʻikai ʻe lau ai ʻene taʻekamu ko e kamu?

Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

27 Pea kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻaia ko ʻetau anga pē, ʻikai te ne fakamaauʻi koe, ʻa koe ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae tohi mo e kamu, ka ʻoku ke maumauʻi pē ʻae fono?

and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

28 He ʻoku ʻikai ko e Siu, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻituʻa pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kamu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he kakano:

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outwardly in the flesh.

29 Ka ko e Siu ia, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻi loto; pea ko e kamu ʻoku ʻoe loto ia, ʻi he laumālie, kae ʻikai ʻi he tohi; pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he kakai hono fakamālō, ka mei he ʻOtua.

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 of men, but of God.
