Romans 2

1 Wherefore, inexcusable, thou art, O man, whoever judgest; for, wherein thou judgest some one else, thyself, thou dost condemn, —for, the very things, thou dost practise, who art judging:

Akaako tokwe chikachizyo, iwe muntu, iwe nuubeteka, nkaambo nchobeteka muli umwi mulinduwe ulalipa mulandu.

2 We know, however, that, the sentence of God, is according to truth against them who, such things as these, do practise.

Pele tulizi kuti lubeta lwaLeza lweendelana akasimpe na lwawida aali baabo bachita zintu zili boobu.

3 And reckonest thou this, O man—who dost judge them who such things do practise, and yet art doing the same, that, thou, shalt escape the sentence of God?

Pelelangisisye eechi, iwe muntu, nuubeteka aabo bachita zintu zili boobu nikuba ulachita zili boobo ayebo. Uyoonzwenga na kulubeta lwaLeza?

4 Or, the riches of his kindness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, dost thou despise, —not knowing that, the kindness of God, unto repentance, is leading thee?

Na uyeeya buniini aatala abuvubi bwabubotu bwakwe, kuchedwa kwalubeta lwakwe, alimwi alukakatilo lwakwe? Tamuzi na kuti bubotu bwakwe buchitilidwe kuti bumuzulwide kukusanduka?

5 But, according to thy hardness, and [thine] impenitent heart, art treasuring up for thyself anger, in a day of anger and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, —

Pele nkaambo kakuyuma akutasanduka kwamoyo nkoli kulilondweda bukali mubuzuba bwabukali, nkokuti, buzuba bwakuyubununwa kwalubeta lululeme lwaLeza.

6 Who will render unto each one according to his works: —

Uyooboozya kumuntu woonse mbuli mumachitlo aakwe:

7 Unto them, on the one hand, who, by way of endurance in good work, are seeking, glory, honour and incorruption, life age-abiding, (aiōnios g166)

kulibaabo bachita kabotu chabusungu akuyanduula bulumbu, kulemekwa, alimwi akutafwa, uyoopa buumi butamani. (aiōnios g166)

8 Unto them, on the other hand, who are of contention, and are not yielding unto the truth, but are yielding unto unrighteousness, anger and wrath,

Pele aabo balichitila zyabo, bataswiilili simpe pesle balaswiilila kutalulama, lunyemo abukali bupati buyosika kulimbabo.

9 tribulation and anguish—against every soul of man who worketh out what is base, both of Jew first and of Greek, —

Leza uyoyeta mapenzi amafwabi kumuuya wamuntu woonse wakachita bubi, kubaJuda lutaanzi, alimwi akubaGiliki.

10 But glory and honour and peace—unto every one who worketh what is good, both unto Jew first and unto Greek:

Pele bulumbu, bulemu, aluzyalo ziyoosika kuliwoonse uuchita kabotu, kumaJuda lutaanzi, akubaGiliki.

11 For there is no respect of persons with God; —

Nkaambo takwe kusaluulana pe kwaLeza.

12 For, as many as without law sinned, without law, also shall perish, and, as many as within law sinned, through law, shall be judged;

Nkaambo mbuli biingi mbubakabisya kakutakwe mulawu bayoofwa alubo kakutakwe mulawu, alimwi mbuli biingi mbubakabisya mumulawu, bayoobetekwa mumulawu.

13 For, not the hearers of law, are righteous with God, but, the doers of law, shall be declared righteous;

Nkaambo tensi basikumvwa mulawu mbibaluleme kunembo lyaLeza, pele mbaasikuchita batakalulamikwe.

14 For, whensoever the nations which have not law, by nature, the things of the law, may be doing, the same, not having law, unto themselves, are a law, —

Nkaambo aawo baMaasi, batakwe mulawu, bo, mulawu kulilwabo beni, nikuba tabakwe mulawu.

15 Who, indeed, shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience therewith bearing witness, and, between one another, their reasonings accusing—or, even excusing, them: —

Kulichechi batondeezya kuti nchito ziyandwa aamulawu zililembedwe mumyoyo yabo. Mayeyelo aabo alazuminana, alimwi miyeyo yabo tiibapi mulandu pe na kubalwanina lwabo beni

16 In the day on which God judgeth the secrets of men according to my glad-message through Christ Jesus.

alimwi akuliLeza. Eezyo ziyochitikana mubuzuba aawo Leza natakabeteke nsiswa zyabantu boonse, mbuli muvangeli lyangu, kwiinda muli Jesu Kkilisito.

17 If, however, thou, art taking the name of Jew, and resting thyself upon law, and boasting in God,

Na kolyaamba kuti uli muJuda, kala aatala aamulawu, botelwa chakulikankayizya muli Leza,

18 And art taking note of his will, and testing the things that differ—when receiving oral instruction out of the law,

ziba luyando lwakwe, mpawo sala zisiyene kkuyigwa mulawu, koli walayililwa amulawu.

19 Art persuaded, moreover, that, thou thyself, art—a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

Alimwi koli aalusinizyo kuti nduwe sikuzulwida boofu, mumuni kuibaabo bali mumudima,

20 A trainer of the simple, a teacher of babes, having the forming of knowledge and truth in the law, —

muzyotololi wabafubafuba, muyisi wabaniini, alimwi koli aaluzibo akaasimpe kamulawu.

21 Thou, therefore, that art teaching someone else, thyself, art thou not teaching? Thou that proclaimest—Do not steal! Art thou, stealing?

Iwe, lino, noomuyisi wabamwi, toliyiisyi na we nomwini? Nywebo nimukambawuka kuti mutaabbi, mulabba na?

22 That sayest—Do not commit adultery! Art thou, committing adultery? That abhorrest sacrilege, Art thou, robbing temples?

Nywebo nimwaamba kuti utachiti mamambi, mulachita mamambi na? Nywebo nimusesemwa mitumi, mulabbida matempele na?

23 That in law dost boast, Through the transgression of the law, art thou dishonouring God?

Nywebo nimulikankayizya mumulawu, mulamusampawula na Leza kwiinda mukusotoka mulawu?

24 For the name of God, because of you, is defamed among the nations, —even as it is written.

Nkaambo, “izina lya Leza liluubisigwa aakati kabaMaasi akaambo kenu,” mbuli mbuzyakalembwa.

25 For, circumcision, indeed, profiteth—if, law, thou be practising; but, if thou be a transgressor of law, thy circumcision, hath become, uncircumcision

Nkaambo kupalulwa kuleempindu kulinduwe na waswiilizya mulawu, pele na koli sikusotoka mulawu, bupalulwe bwako ngabwaba kutapalulwa.

26 If then, the uncircumcision, be guarding the righteous requirement of the law, shall not, his uncircumcision, as circumcision be reckoned?—

Na, limo, muntu uutapalwidwe wabanya ziyandwa aamulawu, kutapalulwa kwakwe takukoyooboneka mbuli bupalulwe na?

27 And the uncircumcision by nature, completing the law, shall judge, thee, who, notwithstanding letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law!

Alimwi ooyo uutapalwidwe takonzyi na kumubeteka na watobelezya mulawu? Oku nkukuti muli aamagwalo aalembedwe alimwi abupalulwe pele muchili basikusotoka mulawu!

28 For, not he who is one in appearance, is a Jew, nor is, that which is such in appearance in flesh, circumcision;

Nkaambo tensi uubanguwe mwinimwnini kuchiwa chaanze; nikuba bupalulwe oobo buli aanze buyo munyama.

29 But, he who is one in secret, is a Jew, —and, [that is], circumcision, which is of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, —whose, praise, is not of men, but of God.

Pele muJuda ooyo uuli aabwamukati, alimwi abupalulwe bwamumoyo, mu Muya, pe pe mumalembe. Bulumbo bwamuntu uuliboobu tabuzwi kumuntu pe pesi kuliLeza.
