¹Therefore 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.

¹Ulac fell-ak ssmaḥ a win ițḥasaben wiyaḍ, axaṭer akken tebɣuḍ tiliḍ, mi tețḥasabeḍ wiyaḍ, d iman-ik i tḥusbeḍ, imi kečč i ten-ițḥasaben txeddmeḍ am nutni.

²We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.

²Neẓra belli Sidi Ṛebbi iḥekkem s lḥeqq ɣef wid ixeddmen lecɣal-agi.

³Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?

³I kečč i gețḥasaben wid ixeddmen lecɣal-agi, ma txeddmeḍ am nutni, tɣileḍ aț-țmenɛeḍ i lḥisab n Sidi Ṛebbi ?

⁴Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

⁴Eɛni tḥeqṛeḍ leḥnana d ṣṣbeṛ i gesɛa Sidi Ṛebbi mbla ceḥḥa ? Ur teẓriḍ ara belli iṣebber-ak s leḥnana-s iwakken aț-țbeddleḍ tikli ?

⁵But 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;

⁵Lameɛna kečč yesɣaṛayen ul-ik tugiḍ aț-țbeddleḍ tikli, tețheggiḍ i yiman-ik lɛiqab ameqqran i wass n lḥisab, ass i deg ara d-ibin wurrif akk-d lḥeqq n Sidi Ṛebbi

⁶who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:” Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12

⁶ ara yerren i mkul yiwen ayen yexdem .

⁷to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life;

⁷ad yefk tudert n dayem i wid ixeddmen lxiṛ s ṣṣbeṛ, yețnadin ɣef lɛezz d lḥeṛma akk-d tudert n dayem.

⁸but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath and indignation,

⁸Ma d wid yellan d imcumen, ikeṛhen tideț, ixeddmen lbaṭel, a d-isseɣli fell-asen urrif ț-țwaɣit ;

⁹oppression and anguish, on every soul of man who works evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

⁹a d-isseɣli daɣen ccedda ț-țwaɣit ɣef yal amdan ixeddmen cceṛ, di tazwara ɣef wat Isṛail, a d-ḍefṛen leǧnas nniḍen.

¹⁰But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

¹⁰Meɛna a d-ițțunefk lɛezz d lḥeṛma akk-d lehna i kra n win ixeddmen lxiṛ, i wat Isṛail uqbel, a d-ḍefṛen leǧnas nniḍen.

¹¹For there is no partiality with God.

¹¹?er Sidi Ṛebbi ulac lxilaf ger yemdanen.

¹²For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

¹²Kra n wid ara idenben, ur nessin ara ccariɛa n Musa, asm'ara mmten ur tḥekkem ara fell-asen ; ma d win ara idenben yili yessen ccariɛa, d ccariɛa ara t-iḥasben.

¹³For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified

¹³Mačči d wid ismeḥsisen kan i ccariɛa i gețwaḥesben d iḥeqqiyen ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi, meɛna d wid i gxeddmen ayen i d-tenna.

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,

¹⁴Leǧnas ur nessin ara ccariɛa, i gxeddmen s nneya-nsen ayen i d-tenna, uɣalen d ccariɛa i yiman-nsen ɣas akken ur ț-sɛin ara.

¹⁵in 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)

¹⁵Beggnen-d s tikli-nsen belli ayen i d-tenna ccariɛa, deg ulawen-nsen i gura. D ulawen-nsen i d-ițbegginen annect-a axaṭer axemmem nsen tikwal ițḥasab-iten, tikwal yețḥuddu fell-asen.

¹⁶in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.

¹⁶D annect-agi ara d-ibanen asm'ara iḥaseb Sidi Ṛebbi s Ɛisa Lmasiḥ, ayen akk xeddmen yemdanen s tuffra am akken yella di lexbaṛ n lxiṛ i țbecciṛeɣ.

¹⁷Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,

¹⁷Kečč iḥesben iman-ik si dderya n wat Isṛail, tețțekleḍ ɣef ccariɛa n Musa, tețzuxxuḍ s Ṛebbi ;

¹⁸and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁸kečč yessnen lebɣi n Sidi Ṛebbi, teẓriḍ d acu i gelhan imi tesneḍ ccariɛa ;

¹⁹and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

¹⁹kečč i gɣilen tzemreḍ aț-țeṭṭfeḍ afus i iderɣalen, aț-țiliḍ ț-țafat n wid yellan di ṭṭlam ;

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

²⁰kečč iḥesben iman-ik tzemreḍ aț-țesfehmeḍ wid ur nessin, neɣ aț-țiliḍ d ccix n warrac axaṭer tufiḍ di ccariɛa n Musa tamusni akk-d țideț !

²¹You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?

²¹Tesselmadeḍ wiyaḍ, meɛna ur tesselmadeḍ ara iman-ik ;

²²You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery. Do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

²²tnehhuḍ wiyaḍ ur țțakren ara, kečč s yiman-ik tețțakreḍ ; tnehhuḍ wiyaḍ ur zennun ara, kečč s yiman-ik tzennuḍ ! Tkeṛheḍ ssadaț, tețțakreḍ lemqamat-nsen !

²³You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God?

²³Tețzuxxuḍ s ccariɛa, meɛna tesseɣlayeḍ lqima n yisem n Sidi Ṛebbi imi ur txeddmeḍ ara ayen i d-teqqaṛ !

²⁴For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22 just as it is written.

²⁴Axaṭer akken yura di tira iqedsen : ?ef ddemma-nwen i gețwargem yisem n Sidi Ṛebbi ger leǧnas.

²⁵For 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.

²⁵?-țideț, ṭṭhaṛa tenfeɛ ma yella tettabaɛeḍ ccariɛa, meɛna ma yella ur txeddmeḍ ara ayen i d-tenna ccariɛa, am akken ur teḍhiṛeḍ ara.

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?

²⁶Win ur neḍhiṛ ara, itebɛen ccariɛa, eɛni ur ițwaḥsab ara ɣer Sidi Ṛebbi am akken yeḍheṛ ?

²⁷Won’t the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?

²⁷Nețta ur neḍhiṛ ara di lǧețța-s, ixeddmen ayen i d-tenna ccariɛa, izmer a k-iḥaseb kečč iḍehṛen, yesnen ccariɛa meɛna ur txeddmeḍ ara ayen i d-teqqaṛ.

²⁸For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;

²⁸Win yellan s țideț n wat Isṛail, mačči s uqemmuc kan, neɣ s ṭṭhaṛa i d-ițbanen deg weglim-ines ;

²⁹but 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.

²⁹meɛna mmi-s n wat Isṛail n tideț, d win i t-yellan deg ul-ines, ṭṭhaṛa n ṣṣeḥ d ayen ixeddem Ṛṛuḥ iqedsen deg ul n wemdan, mačči ț-țin ixeddem wemdan s ccariɛa. Amdan am-agi, d Sidi Ṛebbi i t-ițɛuzzun mačči d imdanen.
