Romans 2
1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
Yango wana, yo moto oyo osambisaka bato mosusu, ozali na ngambo, ata soki ozali nani; pamba te wana osambisaka bato mosusu, omisambisaka yo moko, mpo ete yo oyo osambisaka bango osalaka mpe kaka makambo yango.
2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
Nzokande, toyebi malamu ete Nzambe asambisaka kolanda bosolo bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana.
3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Boni, okanisi ete okokima kosambisama ya Nzambe, yo oyo osambisaka bato oyo basalaka makambo ya lolenge wana mpe osalaka makambo yango kaka lokola bango?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
To mpe boni, okanisi ete ozali kotiola bomengo ya boboto, ya kokanga motema mpe ya bolamu na Nzambe, wana ozali kobosana ete boboto na Ye ememaka yo na kobongola motema?
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
Kasi mpo na moto makasi na yo mpe motema libanga na yo, ozali yo moko komibendela etumbu monene mpo na mokolo oyo Nzambe akokweyisa kanda na Ye mpe akomonisa kosambisama na Ye ya sembo.
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
Nzambe akofuta moto na moto kolanda misala na ye:
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
bomoi ya seko epai ya moto oyo, na nzela ya molende na ye ya kosala malamu, alukaka nkembo, lokumu mpe makambo oyo ebebaka te; (aiōnios g166)
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
kasi kanda mpe kanda makasi epai ya moto oyo, na nzela ya botomboki na ye, aboyaka solo mpe asepelaka na mabe.
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Minyoko mpe mitungisi ezali kozela moto nyonso oyo asalaka mabe: liboso, Moyuda, mpe sima, Mogreki.
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Kasi nkembo, lokumu mpe kimia ezali kozela moto nyonso oyo asalaka bolamu: liboso, Moyuda, mpe sima, Mogreki;
11 For there is no partiality with God.
pamba te Nzambe aponaka bilongi te.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Bato nyonso oyo basalaki masumu na kozanga koyeba Mobeko bakokufa na kozanga mpe Mobeko. Nzokande bato oyo basalaki masumu, wana basengeli kotosa Mobeko, bakosambisama kolanda Mobeko.
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
Pamba te ezali te bato oyo bayokaka Mobeko nde bazali sembo na miso na Nzambe, kasi ezali ba-oyo batosaka Mobeko yango nde bakotangama lokola bato ya sembo.
14 (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
Soki Bapagano oyo bayebi Mobeko te bazali kosala na ndenge na bango moko makambo oyo Mobeko esengaka, boyeba ete bamikomisaka Mobeko mpo na bango moko atako bazali na Mobeko yango te.
15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
Na bongo, na nzela ya bizaleli na bango, balakisaka ete misala oyo Mobeko esengaka ezali ya kokomama kati na mitema na bango. Mitema na bango etatolaka yango, ndenge moko na makanisi oyo na nzela na yango bamifundaka to bamilongisaka.
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
Nyonso wana ekomonana polele, na mokolo oyo Nzambe akosambisa basekele ya bato na nzela ya Yesu-Klisto, kolanda Sango Malamu oyo nateyaka.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
Boye, yo moto oyo omibengaka Moyuda, otiaka elikya na yo kati na Mobeko, omikumisaka mpo na Nzambe,
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
oyebi mokano ya Nzambe mpe oyebi kososola makambo oyo eleki malamu, pamba te Mobeko eteya yo.
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
Ondimisami solo ete ozali motambolisi ya bakufi miso, pole ya bato oyo bayengaka-yengaka kati na molili,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
molakisi ya bazoba, moteyi ya bana mike, pamba te ozwaka kati na Mobeko boyebi nyonso mpe bosolo.
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
Yo moto oyo oteyaka bato mosusu, boni, yo moko omiteyaka te? Yo oyo oteyaka bato mosusu ete bayiba te, boni, oyibaka?
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Yo oyo olobaka na bato ete basala ekobo te, boni, osalaka ekobo? Yo oyo omipesaka te na banzambe ya bikeko, boni, ozwaka na makasi biloko kati na batempelo?
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
Yo oyo omikumisaka mpo na Mobeko, boni, ozali kobebisa lokumu ya Nzambe na kobuka Mobeko?
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
Mpo na yango, kolanda ndenge ekomama: « Likolo na bino, Kombo ya Nzambe ezali kofingama kati na Bapagano. »
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Kokatama ngenga ezali na tina soki ozali kotosa Mobeko; kasi soki obuki Mobeko, okomi lokola okatama na yo ngenga te.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
Kasi soki moto oyo akatisa ngenga te azali kotosa malako ya sembo ya Mobeko, boni, akotangama te lokola moto akatama ngenga?
27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
Moto oyo akatisa ngenga te kasi atosaka Mobeko akosambisa yo oyo obukaka Mobeko atako ozali na Makomi ya Mobeko mpe okatisa ngenga.
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Pamba te ezali te makambo oyo emonanaka na miso nde ekomisaka moto Moyuda, mpe ezali te elembo oyo emonanaka na nzoto nde esalaka kokatama ngenga.
29 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 from men, but from God.
Ezali kaka makambo ya kati nde ekomisaka moto Moyuda, mpe kokatama ngenga ya solo ezali nde oyo Molimo asalaka kati na motema; ezali te oyo tosalaka na kotosa Mobeko. Lokumu ya Moyuda ya boye ewutaka na bato te, kasi na Nzambe.
