Roma 2

1 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.

For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

2 Na e matau ana tatou kei runga i te pono te whakahenga a te Atua mo nga kaimahi i aua mea.

For we know that the judgment of God is in accord with truth against those who do such things.

3 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?

But, O man, when you judge those who do such things as you yourself also do, do you think that you will escape the judgment of God?

4 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?

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

5 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;

But in accord with your hard and impenitent heart, you store up wrath for yourself, unto the day of wrath and of revelation by the just judgment of God.

6 Mana e homai ki tetahi, ki tetahi, kia rite ki a ratou mahi:

For he will render to each one according to his works:

7 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)

To those who, in accord with patient good works, seek glory and honor and incorruption, certainly, he will render eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Ki te hunga ia e totohe ana, e turi ana ki te pono, e whakarongo ana hoki ki te he, he riri, he aritarita,

But to those who are contentious and who do not acquiesce to the truth, but instead trust in iniquity, he will render wrath and indignation.

9 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:

Tribulation and anguish are upon every soul of man that works evil: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

10 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:

But glory and honor and peace are for all who do what is good: the Jew first, and also the Greek.

11 Kahore hoki a te Atua whakapai kanohi.

For there is no favoritism with God.

12 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;

For whoever had sinned without the law, will perish without the law. And whoever had sinned in the law, will be judged by the law.

13 He teka hoki ko nga kaiwhakarongo o te ture e tika ki ta te Atua; engari ko nga kaimahi o te ture e whakatikaia.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are just before God, but rather it is the doers of the law who shall be justified.

14 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:

For when the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature those things which are of the law, such persons, not having the law, are a law unto themselves.

15 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;

For they reveal the work of the law written in their hearts, while their conscience renders testimony about them, and their thoughts within themselves also accuse or even defend them,

16 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.

unto the day when God shall judge the hidden things of men, through Jesus Christ, according to my Gospel.

17 Otira, mehemea e tapaina ana koe he Hurai, a, e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki te ture, e whakamanamana ana ki te Atua,

But if you are called by name a Jew, and you rest upon the law, and you find glory in God,

18 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,

and you have known his will, and you demonstrate the more useful things, having been instructed by the law:

19 A, e u ana tou whakaaro, ko koe hei kaiarahi mo nga matapo, hei marama mo te hunga i roto i te pouri,

you become confident within yourself that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 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;

an instructor to the foolish, a teacher to children, because you have a type of knowledge and truth in the law.

21 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?

As a result, you teach others, but you do not teach yourself. You preach that men should not steal, but you yourself steal.

22 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?

You speak against adultery, but you commit adultery. You abominate idols, but you commit sacrilege.

23 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?

You would glory in the law, but through a betrayal of the law you dishonor God.

24 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.

(For because of you the name of God is being blasphemed among the Gentiles, just as it was written.)

25 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.

Certainly, circumcision is beneficial, if you observe the law. But if you are a betrayer of the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 Na ki te mau i te kotingakore nga tikanga o te ture, e kore ianei tona kotingakore e kiia hei kotinga?

And so, if the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this lack of circumcision be counted as circumcision?

27 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?

And that which is by nature uncircumcised, if it fulfills the law, should it not judge you, who by the letter and by circumcision are a betrayer of the law?

28 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.

For a Jew is not he who seems so outwardly. Neither is circumcision that which seems so outwardly, in the flesh.

29 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.

But a Jew is he who is so inwardly. And circumcision of the heart is in the spirit, not in the letter. For its praise is not of men, but of God.
