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.

¹ Woodin sabbay se ya nin Adam-ize, boro kulu kaŋ cine ni ciya, nin kaŋ ga boro fo ciiti, ni sinda kobay. Zama naŋ kaŋ ni goono ga boro fo ciiti, ni boŋ no ni goono ga zeeri, zama nin, kaŋ ga ti ciitikwa, ni mo goono ga hayey din te.

¹Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judges another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things.

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

² Iri ga bay mo kaŋ Irikoy ciito ya cimi wane no borey kaŋ yaŋ doona ka goyey din dumi te boŋ.

²And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practise such things.

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?

³ Ya Adam-ize, ni kaŋ goono ga borey kaŋ yaŋ ga goyey din te ciiti, nga no ni bumbo ni goono ga woodin yaŋ te mo, ni ga tammahã hala ni ga kooma Irikoy ciito gaa no?

³And reckonest thou this, O man, who judgest them that practise such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

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

⁴ Wala ni ga donda Irikoy gomno kaŋ ga yulwa gumo, d'a jalla, d'a suuru kuuko no? Ni mana bay kaŋ Irikoy booro goono ga ni daŋ fondo no hala ni ma to tuubiyaŋ do?

⁴Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

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;

⁵ Amma ni boŋ sanda da ni bina kaŋ wangu ka tuubi do no ni goono ga bone margu ka jisi ni boŋ se, Irikoy futay zaaro da Irikoy cimi ciiti zaaro se, kaŋ ga aniya ka bangay.

⁵but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

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

⁶ «Zama Irikoy ga boro kulu bana nga goyo boŋ.»

⁶who will render to every man according to his works:

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

⁷ Borey kaŋ yaŋ ga suuru ihanno teeyaŋ ra, ka darza nda beeray da haŋ kaŋ si sara ceeci, i ga du fundi hal abada.

⁷to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life:

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

⁸ Amma borey kaŋ ciya guunuwanteyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ si cimi gana, amma i ga adilitaray-jaŋay gana, Irikoy ga futay da fotti cabe i se.

⁸but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, [shall be] wrath and indignation,

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

⁹ Taabi nda kankami ga kaŋ Adam-ize kulu kaŋ ga goy laalo te boŋ, sintina Yahudancey, gaa dumi cindey mo.

⁹tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

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

¹⁰ Amma borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga ihanno te ga du darza nda beeray da laakal kanay, sintina Yahudancey, gaa dumi cindey mo.

¹⁰but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek:

¹¹For there is no partiality with God.

¹¹ Zama baar'a-baar'a si no Irikoy do.

¹¹for there is no respect of persons with God.

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.

¹² Zama borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ na zunubi te asariya-jaŋay ra, asariya-jaŋay ra mo no i ga halaci. Borey kulu mo kaŋ yaŋ na zunubi te asariya ra, asariya boŋ no i ga ciiti i se.

¹²For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

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

¹³ Zama manti borey kaŋ yaŋ ga hangan asariya se no ga ciya adilante Irikoy jine bo, amma borey kaŋ yaŋ ga asariya goy te no ga ciya adilante _a jine|_.

¹³for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified:

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,

¹⁴ (Waati kaŋ dumi cindey, kaŋ yaŋ sinda Tawretu* asariya ga asariya goy te zama i di kaŋ a ga hima, ngey wo kaŋ sinda Tawretu asariya, i ciya asariya ngey boŋ se.

¹⁴(for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves;

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)

¹⁵ Zama i goono ga cabe kaŋ asariya goyo go ngey biney ra hantumante. I bine lasaabey mo goono ga seeda woodin boŋ -- ce fooyaŋ i fonguyaŋey g'i kalima, ce fooyaŋ mo i ga kande kobay.)

¹⁵in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing [them]);

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

¹⁶ Yaadin no ga te hano kaŋ hane Irikoy ga borey gundey ciiti Yesu Almasihu do ay Baaru Hanna boŋ.

¹⁶in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ.

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

¹⁷ Amma nin kaŋ ga ne ni ya Yahudance no, ni goono ga jeeri asariya gaa, ni goono ga fooma kaŋ ni ga Irikoy bay,

¹⁷But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

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

¹⁸ ni ga Irikoy miila bay, ni goono ga hayey kaŋ ga bisa ikulu booriyaŋ neesi, zama i na ni cawandi nda asariya.

¹⁸and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

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

¹⁹ A go mo, ni ga tabbat ni bina ra kaŋ ni ga hin ka danaw daŋ fondo, ni ciya mo annura borey kaŋ yaŋ go kubay ra se.

¹⁹and art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them that are in darkness,

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

²⁰ Ni ga ne ni ya boro kaŋ sinda laakal cabeko no, zanka kayna dondonandiko, zama asariya ra ni gonda bayray da cimi fondo.

²⁰a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babes, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth;

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

²¹ To! Ni kaŋ ga boro fo dondonandi, ni siino ga ni boŋ dondonandi no? Ni kaŋ ga ne i ma si zay, ni wo siino ga zay no?

²¹thou therefore that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

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

²² Ni kaŋ ga ne i ma si zina, ni wo siino ga zina no? Ni kaŋ wangu toorey, ni siino g'i windey kom no?

²²thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou rob temples?

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

²³ Ni kaŋ goono ga fooma nda asariya, ni wo siino ga Irikoy kaynandi asariya taamuyaŋ do no?

²³thou who gloriest in the law, through thy transgression of the law dishonorest thou God?

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

²⁴ Mate kaŋ i n'a hantum ka ne: «Zama i goono ga Irikoy maa kayna dumi* cindey game ra araŋ sabbay se.»

²⁴For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you, even as it is written.

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 Sikka si dambanguyaŋ* gonda nafa da ni ya asariya goy teeko no. Amma da ni ya boro kaŋ ga asariya taamu no, ni dambanguyaŋo ciya dambanguyaŋ-jaŋay.

²⁵For circumcision indeed profiteth, if thou be a doer of the law: but if thou be a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision is become uncircumcision.

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

²⁶ Amma da boro kaŋ si dambangu ga asariya farilley gana, manti Irikoy g'a dambanguyaŋ-jaŋa lasaabu sanda dambanguyaŋ no?

²⁶If therefore the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned for circumcision?

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?

²⁷ Bora kaŋ ga asariya toonandi, kaŋ sinda gaaham ra dambanguyaŋ, manti a ga ciiti da nin, ni kaŋ ciya asariya taamuko, baa kaŋ ni gonda _asariya tira|_ biir'izey _kaŋ go hantumante|_, ni gonda dambanguyaŋ mo.

²⁷and shall not the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who with the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law?

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

²⁸ Zama boro si ciya Yahudance da taray alhaali hinne bo. Dambanguyaŋ mo, manti gaaham ra taray wane hinne no.

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

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.

²⁹ Amma Yahudance ga ti boro kaŋ ciya yaadin a ra haray. A dambanguyaŋo ga ti bina ra wane, Biya _Hanno|_ ra, manti _asariya tira|_ biir'izey _kaŋ go hantumante|_ wane. A sifayaŋo mo, manti borey do no a ga fun, amma Irikoy do no.

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 of men, but of God.
