Rome 2

1 Ac kom, kawuk luk, ya kom nununku mwet saya? Wanginna sripa kom in nununku mwet, finne su kom an. Mweyen ke kom nununku mwet saya u, a kom wi pac oru ouiya ma elos oru, kom sifacna liskomla.

You are therefore inexcusable, O man, whoever you are, that sits in judgment; for in judging another you are condemning yourself. You, the judge, are habitually practising the very same things.

2 Kut etu lah God El suwohs ke El nununkalos su oru kain in ouiya inge.

"We know that God’s judgment against those who practise such vices is in accord with the truth," you say?

3 A kom, kom wi oru kain in ouiya ma kom nununku mwet ngia kac! Ya kom nunku mu kom ac ku in kaingkunla nununku lun God?

Very well; and do you suppose, you who judge those that practise such vices, and are doing the very same, that you will elude the judgment of God?

4 Ku sahp kom pilesru kulang lulap ac muteng ac mongfisrasr lun God! Ya kom tia akilen lah God El kulang ke sripen El kena kolkomla nu ke auliyak?

Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long patience? Do you not know that the kindness of God is leading you to repentance?

5 Tusruktu ke sripen upa na insiom ac kom likkeke, kom sifacna akyokye kaiyuk nu sum ke Len se God El fah akkalemye kasrkusrak ac nununku suwohs lal.

In your hardness and impenitence of heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath on the Day of Wrath, when the righteous judgment of God is revealed.

6 Tuh God El ac fah moli nu sin mwet nukewa fal nu ke orekma lalos.

For He will render to every man according to his works;

7 Oasr mwet su oaru na in oru ma wo, ac elos suk ohi, wolana, ac moul kawil sin God. Na God El ac fah sang nu selos moul ma pahtpat. (aiōnios g166)

eternal life to those who by patience in well-doing strive for glory and honor and immortality; (aiōnios g166)

8 Ac kutu mwet uh nunku kaclos sifacna ac tia lungse ma suwohs, pwanang elos ukwe na ma sesuwos. God El fah fahkak lupan mulat ac kasrkusrak lal nu selos su ouinge.

but anger and wrath upon those who are self-willed and disobey the truth, but obey unrighteousness.

9 Ac fah oasr keok ac waiok nu selos nukewa su oru ma koluk — nu sin mwet Jew meet, ac oayapa nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.

Anguish and calamity will be upon every soul of man who practises evil, upon the Jew first, and also upon the Gentile;

10 Tusruktu God El fah sang wolana, sunak, ac misla nu selos nukewa su oru ma wo — nu sin mwet Jew meet, ac oayapa nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew.

but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile.

11 Tuh God El tia sulosol mwet.

For there is no partiality with God.

12 Ma Sap lal Moses finne wangin yurolos su tia mwet Jew, ke elos oru ma koluk elos ac nuna tuhlac na. Ma Sap u ma nu sin mwet Jew, na ke mwet Jew elos oru ma koluk, elos ac fah nununkeyuk fal nu ke Ma Sap.

For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.

13 Tuh mwet uh tia aksuwosyeyuk ye mutun God ke sripen elos lohng Ma Sap uh, ac ke sripen elos akos ma sapkinyuk ke Ma Sap uh.

For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.

14 Ma Sap lal Moses tuh tia itukyang nu sin mwet sayen mwet Jew. Tusruktu kutena pacl elos moul fal nu ke ma sap mweyen na elos sifacna nunkauk mu fal, na elos akkalemye lah elos oakiya ma sap nu selos sifacna, finne wangin Ma Sap lal Moses yurolos.

For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

15 Ouiyen moul lalos sifacna fahkak lah ma sapkinyuk in Ma Sap u simla insialos. Oayapa elahlos wi pac akpwayeye ma se inge, mweyen kutu pacl u nunak na lalos akkalemye nu selos ma su wo ac ma su koluk.

For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

16 Fal nu ke Pweng Wo su nga luti kac, ac fah ouinge ke Len se ma God El fah nununku nunak lukma lun mwet nukewa ke Jesus Christ.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

17 A funu kom — kom sifacna fahk mu kom mwet Jew, ac kom filiya finsrak lom fin Ma Sap, ac konkin mu oasr kupasr lom nu sin God.

Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,

18 Kom etu ma lungse lun God, ac kom lotela ke Ma Sap u in sulela ma suwohs.

and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

19 Kom sifacna oru mu kom mwet kol nu sin mwet kun, ac kalem nu selos su muta in lohsr.

and are confident that you yourself are a darkness,

20 Kom aketeya nu sin mwet lalfon, ac kom mwet luti nu selos su sulalkung. Kom lulalfongi mu ke sripen Ma Sap u oasr sum, kom etu ma nukewa ac ma nukewa kom fahk u pwayena.

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth - well then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

21 Kom luti mwet saya — ac efu kom tia luti kom sifacna? Kom fahkak mu, “Nik kom pisrapasr,” ac kom, kom tia pisrapasr?

You who are preaching that a man should not steal, do you practise theft?

22 Kom fahk mu, “Nik kom kosro,” ac kom, ya kom tia kosro? Kom kwase ma sruloala. Ac kom, ya kom tia pisre ma in tempul lalos u?

You who keep saying that a man should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hold idols in abhorrence, are you plundering their temples?

23 Kom konkin mu Ma Sap lun God oasr yurum. Ac kom, ya kom tia akmwekinye God ke kom kunausla Ma Sap lal?

You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

24 Ma Simusla u fahk, “Mwet in mutunfacl saya elos kaskas kupatol ke Een God, ke sripowos mwet Jew.”

For the name of God is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as the Scripture itself says.

25 Kom fin akos Ma Sap, oasr sripen kosrala lom; tusruktu kom fin seakos Ma Sap, wangin sripen kosrala lom.

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

26 Mwet pegan elos tia kosrala, tusruktu elos fin akos ma sapkinyuk ke Ma Sap, ya God El ac tia akilenulos oana elos in mwet kosrala?

So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

27 Ouinge mwet pegan elos ac fah nununkekowos mwet Jew, mweyen kowos kunausla Ma Sap, finne Ma Sap u simla oasr yuruwos ac kowos kosrala. A elos akos Ma Sap, elos ne tia kosrala in mano.

And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

28 Na su win mwet Jew na pwaye, ma kosrala na pwaye? Tiana mwet se ma mwet Jew ke luku, su kosrala na ke manol.

For the real Jew is not the man who is one outwardly, and the real circumcision is not outward in the flesh;

29 Mwet Jew na pwaye pa mwet Jew ke insia, su kalmeya pa mwet se su kosrala lal oan insial. Ma inge orekma lun Ngun lun God, tia ke Ma Sap ma simla uh. Kain mwet se inge eis kaksak sin God, ac tia sin mwet.

but the real Jew is one inwardly, and real circumcision is heart- circumcision, spiritual, not literal, praised not by men, but by God.
