Romans 2
1 Nítorí náà, aláìríwí ni ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó wù kí ó jẹ́ tí ń dá ni lẹ́jọ́, nítorí nínú ohun tí ìwọ ń ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹlòmíràn, ìwọ ń dá ara rẹ lẹ́bi; nítorí ìwọ tí ń dájọ́ ń ṣe ohun kan náà nínú èyí tí ìwọ ń dá ni lẹ́jọ́.
Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are that judge: for wherein you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same things.
2 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa mọ̀ pé ìdájọ́ Ọlọ́run jẹ́ òtítọ́ si gbogbo àwọn tí ó ń ṣe irú ohun báwọ̀nyí.
But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 Nítorí bí ìwọ tí ń ṣe ènìyàn lásán bá ń ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn tí ń ṣe irú ohun báwọ̀nyí, tí ìwọ tìkára rẹ ń ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ìwọ ro èyí pé ìwọ o yọ nínú ìdájọ́ Ọlọ́run bí?
And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Tàbí ìwọ ń gàn ọrọ̀ oore àti ìpamọ́ra àti sùúrù rẹ̀? Ìwọ kò ha mọ̀ pé oore Ọlọ́run ni ó ń fà ọ́ lọ sì ìrònúpìwàdà?
Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and long-suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
5 Ṣùgbọ́n gẹ́gẹ́ bí líle àti àìronúpìwàdà ọkàn rẹ̀, ìwọ ń to ìbínú jọ fún ara rẹ de ọjọ́ ìbínú àti ìfihàn ìdájọ́ òdodo Ọlọ́run.
But after your hardness and impenitent heart treasure up to yourself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Ọlọ́run yóò san án fún olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí iṣẹ́ rẹ̀.
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 Àwọn ẹni tí ń fi sùúrù nínú rere ṣíṣe, wá ògo àti ọlá àti àìdíbàjẹ́ ni yóò fi ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun fún. (aiōnios g166)
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios g166)
8 Ṣùgbọ́n fún àwọn onímọ̀-tara-ẹni-nìkan, tí wọn kò sì gba òtítọ́ gbọ́, ṣùgbọ́n tí wọn ń tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà búburú, wọn yóò ní ìrírí ìrunú àti ìbínú rẹ̀.
But to them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Ìpọ́njú àti ìrora, yóò wà lórí olúkúlùkù ọkàn ènìyàn tí ń hùwà ibi: ti Júù ṣáájú, àti àwọn Helleni pẹ̀lú;
Tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 ṣùgbọ́n ògo, àti ọlá, àti àlàáfíà, fún olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ń hùwà rere, fún Júù, ṣáájú àti fún àwọn Helleni pẹ̀lú.
But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 Nítorí Ọlọ́run kì í ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn.
For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 Gbogbo àwọn tí ó ṣẹ̀ ní àìlófin wọn ó sì ṣègbé láìlófin, àti iye àwọn tí ó ṣẹ̀ lábẹ́ òfin, àwọn ni a ó fi òfin dá lẹ́jọ́.
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 Nítorí kì í ṣe àwọn olùgbọ́ òfin ni ẹni ìdáláre lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn olùṣe òfin ni a ó dá láre.
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 Nítorí nígbà tí àwọn aláìkọlà, tí kò ní òfin, bá ṣe ohun tí ó wà nínú òfin nípa ìwà ẹ̀dá, àwọn wọ̀nyí, jẹ́ òfin fún ara wọn bí wọn kò tilẹ̀ ní òfin.
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 to themselves:
15 Àwọn ẹni tí ó fihàn pé, a kọ̀wé iṣẹ́ òfin sí wọn lọ́kàn, tí ẹ̀rí ọkàn wọn pẹ̀lú sì tún ń jẹ́ wọn lẹ́rìí, àti pé, èrò ọkàn wọn tí ó jẹ́ ọ̀nà ìfinisùn, sì ń gbè wọ́n lẹ́yìn ní ìsinsin yìí.
Which show 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 Èyí yóò farahàn ní ọjọ́ náà nígbà tí Ọlọ́run yóò tipasẹ̀ Jesu Kristi ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn àṣírí ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyìnrere mi.
In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá ń pe ìwọ ní Júù, tí o sì sinmi lé òfin, tí o sì ń ṣògo nínú ìbálòpọ̀ rẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run,
Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the law, and make your boast of God,
18 tí o sì mọ ìfẹ́ rẹ̀, tí o sì fọwọ́sí ohun tí ó dára jùlọ, nítorí tí a ti kọ́ ọ ní òfin;
And know his will, and approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
19 tí o sì dá ara rẹ lójú pé ìwọ ni amọ̀nà àwọn afọ́jú, ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn tí ó wà ni òkùnkùn,
And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
20 Olùkọ́ àwọn aláìmòye, olùkọ́ àwọn ọmọdé, ẹni tí ó ní ètò ìmọ̀ àti òtítọ́ òfin lọ́wọ́.
An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
21 Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ tí o ń kọ́ ẹlòmíràn, ìwọ kò kọ́ ara rẹ? Ìwọ tí ó ń wàásù kí ènìyàn má jalè, ìwọ ha ń jalè bí?
You therefore which teach another, teach you not yourself? you that preach a man should not steal, do you steal?
22 Ìwọ tí o wí pé, kí ènìyàn má ṣe panṣágà, ìwọ ń ṣe panṣágà bí? Ìwọ tí o kórìíra òrìṣà, ìwọ ń ja tẹmpili ní olè bí?
You that say a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? you that abhor idols, do you commit sacrilege?
23 Ìwọ ti ń ṣògo nínú òfin, ìwọ ha ń bu Ọlọ́run ni ọlá kù nípa rírú òfin?
You that make your boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonor you God?
24 Nítorí gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti kọ ọ́, “Orúkọ Ọlọ́run sá à di ìsọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà nítorí yín.”
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
25 Nítorí ìkọlà ní èrè nítòótọ́, bí ìwọ bá pa òfin mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n bí ìwọ bá jẹ́ arúfin, ìkọlà rẹ di àìkọlà.
For circumcision truly profits, if you keep the law: but if you be a breaker of the law, your circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Nítorí náà bí àwọn aláìkọlà bá pa ìlànà òfin mọ́, a kì yóò ha kà wọ́n sí àwọn tí a kọ nílà bí?
Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 Aláìkọlà nípa àdánidá, bí ó bá pa òfin mọ́, yóò dá ẹ̀bi fún ìwọ tí ó jẹ́ arúfin nípa ti àkọsílẹ̀ òfin àti ìkọlà.
And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge you, who by the letter and circumcision do transgress the law?
28 Kì í ṣe èyí tí ó farahàn ní òde ni Júù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe èyí tí ó farahàn ní ara ni ìkọlà.
For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 Ṣùgbọ́n Júù ti inú ni Júù, àti ìkọlà sì ni ti ọkàn nínú ẹ̀mí tí kì í ṣe ti àkọsílẹ̀, ìyìn ẹni tí kò sí lọ́dọ̀ ènìyàn, bí kò ṣe lọ́dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
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.
