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.
Na kahore he kupu whakahoki mau, e koe, e te tangata e whakahe ana: i a koe hoki e whakahe na i tera, e whakatau ana koe i te he ki a koe ano; kei te mahi hoki koe, te kaiwhakahe, i aua mea na ano.
2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
Na e matau ana tatou kei runga i te pono te whakahenga a te Atua mo nga kaimahi i aua mea.
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?
Ko tou whakaaro ranei tenei, e te tangata e whakahe ana ki nga kaimahi i aua mea, e mahi na ano koe i aua mea, ko koe e ora i ta te Atua whakahe?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
E whakahawea ana ranei koe ki nga rawa o tona ngawari, o tana tikanga mahaki, o tona manawanui, e ranea tonu nei; te mahara ko te ngawari o te Atua hei arahi i a koe ki te ripeneta?
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,
Heoi pakeke tonu koe, kahore e ripeneta tou ngakau, e puranga ana koe i te riri mou, mo te ra o te riri, o te whakakitenga mai ano i ta te Atua whakawakanga tika;
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
Mana e homai ki tetahi, ki tetahi, kia rite ki a ratou mahi:
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
Ki te hunga e whai ana ki te kororia, ki te honore, ki te piraukore, me te mau ano ki te mahi pai, he ora tonu: (aiōnios g166)
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
Ki te hunga ia e totohe ana, e turi ana ki te pono, e whakarongo ana hoki ki te he, he riri, he aritarita,
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
He pawera, he raru, mo nga wairua tangata katoa e mahi ana i te kino, mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki:
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
He kororia ia, he honore, he rangimarie, mo nga tangata katoa e mahi ana i te pai, mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki:
11 For there is no partiality with God.
Kahore hoki a te Atua whakapai kanohi.
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.
Ko te hunga hoki i hara turekore, ka ngaro turekore ano hoki: me te hunga i hara i runga i te ture, kei te ture ano he whakahe mo ratou;
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
He teka hoki ko nga kaiwhakarongo o te ture e tika ki ta te Atua; engari ko nga kaimahi o te ture e whakatikaia.
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,
I te mea hoki e mahia maoritia ana nga mea o te ture e nga Tauiwi, kahore nei o ratou ture, ko enei, kahore nei o ratou ture, hei ture ki a ratou ano:
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)
I te mea ka whakakite ratou i te mahi a te ture, he mea tuhituhi ki o ratou ngakau, me te whakaae tahi ano o ratou hinengaro, ko o ratou whakaaro kei te whakahehe, kei te whakatikatika ranei i a ratou;
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
I te ra e whakawa ai te Atua i nga mea ngaro a nga tangata, he mea whakarite tonu ki taku rongopai, he meatanga na Ihu Karaiti.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
Otira, mehemea e tapaina ana koe he Hurai, a, e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki te ture, e whakamanamana ana ki te Atua,
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
A, e mohio ana ki tana e pai ai, a e kitea ana e koe nga mea e tino pai ana, he mea whakaako hoki koe na te ture,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
A, e u ana tou whakaaro, ko koe hei kaiarahi mo nga matapo, hei marama mo te hunga i roto i te pouri,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
Hei kaiwhakatikatika mo nga kuware, hei kaiwhakaako mo nga kohungahunga; kei a koe hoki te ahua o te matauranga, o te pono i runga i te ture;
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
he kaiwhakaako koe i tera atu, e kore ianei koe e whakaako i a koe ano? e kauwhau na koe kia kaua e tahae, e tahae ana ranei koe?
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
A koe e mea na, Kaua e puremu, e puremu ana ranei koe? a koe e whakarihariha na ki nga whakapakoko, e tahae ana ranei koe i nga mea o nga temepara?
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
A koe e whakamanamana na ki te ture, kei te whakaiti ranei koe i te Atua i te mea ka takahi koe i te ture?
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
Na koutou hoki i kohukohua ai te ingoa o te Atua i roto i nga Tauiwi, i peratia ai me te mea kua oti te tuhituhi.
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.
E whai tikanga ana hoki te kotinga, ki te mahia e koe te ture: tena ki te takahi koe i te ture, ka riro tou kotinga hei kotingakore.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
Na ki te mau i te kotingakore nga tikanga o te ture, e kore ianei tona kotingakore e kiia hei kotinga?
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?
A, ki te rite te ture i te mea kihai i kotia maoritia, e kore ianei ia e whakahe i a koe, e whiwhi na ki te kupu tuhituhi me te kotinga, i a koe e takahi na i te ture?
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Ehara hoki i te Hurai te mea ko waho noa iho tona ahua Hurai; ehara ano i te kotinga te mea no waho, no te kikokiko.
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.
Engari he Hurai ia, no roto tona ahua Hurai; a ko te kotinga, no te ngakau, he mea wairua, he teka na te kupu tuhituhi; ehara hoki i te mea e whakamoemititia ana e te tangata, engari e te Atua.
