< Romans 2 >

1 Therefore you have nothing to say in your own defense, whoever you are who set yourself up as a judge. In judging others you condemn yourself, for you who set yourself up as a judge do the very same things.
Rena basa deꞌulakaꞌ mata-mataꞌ ra ena to? De mbei ma duꞌa mae, “Awi! Atahori naa ra deꞌulaka nara seli tebꞌe ena!” Mete ma ho duꞌa taꞌo naa ena, na, besa-bꞌesa o! Te ho o deꞌulaka ma onaꞌ naa boe. Naa de nda muꞌena totoꞌu-nonoet sa fo musulaꞌe ao ma sa, mae ho, seka. Mete ma mae, atahori laen ra deꞌulakaꞌ ma randaa hambu huku-dꞌokiꞌ, na, afiꞌ liliiꞌ, te, ho fua salaꞌ neu aom boe. Huu ho o tao salaꞌ onaꞌ naa boe.
2 And we know that God’s judgment falls unerringly on those who do them.
Huu hai bubꞌuluꞌ mae, mete ma Lamatuaꞌ hukun atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra, na Ana naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat nara no ndoo-tetuꞌ.
3 You who judge those that do such things and yet are yourself guilty of them – do you suppose that you of all people will escape God’s judgment?
Do, taꞌo bee? Mbei ma duꞌa mae, “Atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra, randaa hambu huku-dꞌokiꞌ mia Lamatuaꞌ.” Tao-tao te ho tao deꞌulakaꞌ onaꞌ se boe. Te duꞌa mae, “Lamatuaꞌ huku-dꞌokin nda dai au sa.” Te huun saa?
4 Or do you think lightly of his abundant kindness, patience, and forbearance, not realizing that his kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
Lamatualain natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo. Ma Ana naꞌatataaꞌ soꞌal tatao-nonoꞌi mara. Te taꞌo bee de mete E mendiꞌ a mata seseriꞌ? Mbei ma nda muhine mae, Ana natudꞌu rala malolen neu nggo, fo lao hela sala-kilu mara, fo baliꞌ misiꞌ E.
5 Hard-hearted and impenitent as you are, you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, when God’s justice as a judge will be revealed;
Te ho ia, langga fatu ma nda nau rena sa! Ma nda nau lao hela sala mara mbei sa boe! Dadꞌi no tataom ho huku-dꞌokim boe namabera. Te mete ma raefafoꞌ sambulalo, na, Lamatuaꞌ nae timba-tai basa atahori ra masodꞌa nara. Ma dei fo basa atahori rahine rae, Lamatuaꞌ nggero-furi atahori sala-kilu nara no ndoo-tetuꞌ. Leleꞌ naa, Ana hukun nggo beran seli, huu Ana nda simbo tatao-nonoꞌi mara sa.
6 for he will give to everyone what their actions deserve.
Masodꞌam taꞌo bee, na, Lamatuaꞌ o bala-bꞌae nggo taꞌo naa boe.
7 To those who, by perseverance in doing good, aim at glory, honor, and all that is imperishable, he will give immortal life; (aiōnios g166)
Te attahori mana tao nakandooꞌ a dꞌala maloleꞌ ra, dei fo Ana fee se, masodꞌa ndoo-tetuꞌ nda manaꞌetuꞌ sa. Sira mana simbo hadꞌa-hormat, nara maloleꞌ, ma rasodꞌa rakandoo ro E. (aiōnios g166)
8 while as to those who are factious, and disobedient to truth but obedient to evil, wrath and anger, distress and despair,
Te Lamatuaꞌ nda simbo atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra sa. Namanasa se seli, huu rahineꞌ a balabꞌan. Ara nda tao tungga dꞌala ndoo-tetuꞌ sa, te rahine akaꞌ taoꞌ a dꞌala deꞌulakaꞌ ra.
9 will fall on every human being who persists in wrongdoing – on the Jew first, but also on the Greek.
Basa atahori mana tao deꞌulakaꞌ ra, dei fo hambu sususaꞌ ma doidꞌosoꞌ. Mae atahori Yahudi do, nda Yahudi sa o, dei fo basa se hambu.
10 But there will be glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does right – for the Jew first, but also for the Greek,
Te basa atahori mana tao dꞌala maloleꞌ ra, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu nananaru se, ma fee se hadꞌa-hormat ma rasodꞌa no mole-dꞌame. Mae sira atahori Yahudi do, nda Yahudi sa o, basa se hambu.
11 since God shows no partiality.
Huu Lamatuaꞌ nda mete-mataꞌ sa na!
12 All who, when they sin, are without Law will also perish without Law; while all who, when they sin, are under Law, will be judged as being under Law.
Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, dai basa atahori. Naa! Mete ma hambu atahori nda rahine Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa sa, de tao salaꞌ, dei fo ana saranggaa mia Lamatualain. Ma mete ma hambu atahori bubꞌuluꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ena, te ana tao salaꞌ, naa dei fo Lamatuaꞌ nggero-furi sala nara nendiꞌ hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa. Dei fo ara o saranggaa mia Lamatuaꞌ, huu ralena-langga neu Hohoro-lalanen.
13 It is not those who hear the words of a Law that are righteous before God, but it is those who obey it that will be pronounced righteous.
Mete ma mae malolole mo Lamatualain, nda akaꞌ renaꞌ a Hohoro-lalanen sa. Te atahori o musi tao tungga Eni Hohoro-lalanen, dei fo Ana feꞌe simbo se ena. Afiꞌ renaꞌ a!
14 When Gentiles, who have no Law, do instinctively what the Law requires, they, though they have no Law, are a Law to themselves;
Mae atahori nda Yahudi ra sa nda rahine Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen sosoan sa o, te mia sira e hambu ruma tao tungga Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa boe. Huu rala nara mana rafadꞌe se, bee ndaa ma bee salaꞌ.
15 for they show the demands of the Law written on their hearts; their consciences corroborating it, while in their thoughts they argue either in self-accusation or, it may be, in self-defense –
No taꞌo naa, ara ratudꞌu rae, Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen nenesuraꞌ sia rala nara, onaꞌ abꞌas fo Lamatuaꞌ tenu sia rala nara. Rala nara mana timba-tai saa fo sira taoꞌ ra. Ma dudꞌuꞌa nara rafadꞌe baliꞌ se mete ma ara tao salaꞌ, ma rafadꞌe se mete ma ara tao tungga ndoon.
16 on the day when God passes judgment on people’s inmost lives, as the good news that I tell declares that he will do through Christ Jesus.
De mete ma Lamatuaꞌ soꞌu Yesus Kristus dadꞌi mana nggero furi dedꞌeat, na, Ana nau paresaꞌ lutu-leloꞌ dꞌala-dꞌala maꞌafuniꞌ ra sia atahori rala nara. Au unori taꞌo naa, onaꞌ nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Hara-lii Malolen.
17 But, perhaps, you bear the name of ‘Jew,’ and are relying on Law, and boast of belonging to God, and understand his will,
De hei atahori Yahudi re, taꞌo bee? Hei hiiꞌ a minanaru ao mara mae, hei mesaꞌ nggi toꞌu Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen fo Ana fee neu Baꞌi Musa, to? Hei o hii olaꞌ naeꞌ soꞌal hei netonggo-nendaam mo Lamatuaꞌ
18 and, having been carefully instructed from the Law, have learned to appreciate the finer moral distinctions.
Tebꞌe! hei mihine Lamatuaꞌ hihii-nanaun ena. Hei mihine bee maloleꞌ lenaꞌ. Hei mihine basa dalaꞌ ia ra ena, huu mesen ra ranori hei mia Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen ena.
19 Perhaps you are confident that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in the dark, an instructor of the unintelligent,
Hei mimihere ao mara mae, hei bisa mitudꞌu dalaꞌ soaꞌ neu atahori nda mana ritaꞌ rae bee reu sa boe. Hei tao ao mara onaꞌ manggareloꞌ mana naronda neu basa atahori mana rasodꞌa sia maꞌahatuꞌ a.
20 and a teacher of the childish, because in the Law you possess the outline of all knowledge and truth.
Huu hei toꞌu Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, de duꞌa mae mihine basaꞌ e ena, ma toꞌu mala bꞌasa ndoo-tetuꞌ ra ena, to? Naa de hei duꞌa mae bisa minori atahori nggoaꞌ ma andikiꞌ nda mana rahine saa-saa sa boe.
21 Why, then, you teacher of others, don’t you teach yourself? Do you preach against stealing, and yet steal?
Dadꞌi au ae utane taꞌo ia: hei hiiꞌ a minori atahori feaꞌ ra, te taꞌo bee de nda nau minori saa sa boe?! Hei hiiꞌ a hene mimber, fo parenda mae, “Afiꞌ miminaꞌo.” Te taꞌo bee de hei miminaꞌo?!
22 Do you forbid adultery, and yet commit adultery? Do you loathe idols, and yet plunder temples?
Hei minori mae, “Afiꞌ hohongge.” Te taꞌo bee de hei hohongge?! Hei nda hii tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ sosonggo-tatangguꞌ ra sa, te taꞌo bee de hei miminaꞌo sudꞌiꞌ a saa mia ume sosonggoꞌ a?!
23 Boasting, as you do, of your Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law?
Hei olaꞌ naeꞌ soꞌal Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, te taꞌo bee de milena-langga Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra, ma miꞌimamaeꞌ Lamatuaꞌ taꞌo naa?!
24 For, as scripture says – ‘The Gentiles insult God’s name because of you’!
Te miaꞌ doon, nenesuraꞌ sia Lamatuaꞌ Susura Meu maren oi, “Huu hei atahori Yahudi ra deꞌulaka mara to? Naa de atahori feaꞌ ra akaꞌ raꞌamuti-raꞌamuu Lamatualain nara malolen.”
25 Circumcision has its value, if you are obeying the Law. But, if you are a breaker of the Law, your circumcision is no better than uncircumcision.
Hei atahori Yahudi ra musi sunat tungga Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, to? Naa dadꞌi bukti oi, hei mana miꞌena hak simbo Lamatuaꞌ hehelu-fufulin. Te mete ma hei milena-langga neu Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, Lamatuaꞌ nda simbo nggi sa. Hei dadꞌi onaꞌ atahori nda Yahudi sa, ma onaꞌ atahori nda feꞌe nenesunat sa.
26 If, then, an uncircumcised man pays regard to the requirements of the Law, won’t he, although not circumcised, be regarded by God as if he were?
Dꞌuꞌa matalolole! Huu mete ma atahori nda nenesunat sa, tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, dei fo Lamatuaꞌ simbo e, onaꞌ atahori Yahudi nenesunat ena, to?
27 Indeed, the person who, owing to his birth, remains uncircumcised, and yet scrupulously obeys the Law, will condemn you, who, for all your written Law and your circumcision, are yet a breaker of the Law.
De besa-bꞌesa, o! Te mete ma atahori nda Yahudi fo nda nenesunat sa, tao tungga Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, na ara ratudꞌu saa? Ara ratudꞌu hei sala mara rae, hei atahori Yahudi mana nenesunat ra, milena-langga Lamatuaꞌ Hohoro-lalanen, mae hei toꞌu Hohoro-lalaneꞌ naa ra eniꞌ a lele uluꞌ a.
28 For a man who is only a Jew outwardly is not a real Jew; nor is outward bodily circumcision real circumcision. The real Jew is the person who is a Jew in soul;
Afiꞌ duꞌa mae, atahori mana dadꞌi baꞌi Abraham tititi-nonosin, ma nenesunat sia rou nara ena, na, naa mana tao e dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin tebꞌe ena. Hokoꞌ!
29 and the real circumcision is the circumcision of the heart, a spiritual and not a literal thing. Such a person wins praise from God, though not from people.
Mana tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ atahorin, naeni atahori mana maloleꞌ ro Lamatuaꞌ. Te sunat matetuꞌ a, mana tao atahori dadꞌi Lamatuaꞌ anan, nda bukti siaꞌ a rouꞌ sa, te bukti sia ralaꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ Dula-dalen taoꞌ a. Lamatuaꞌ koa atahori mataꞌ naa ra, te atahori nda koa se sa.
