Romans 2
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
1Ko ia, ʻe tangata, ʻa koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻe ʻikai te ke hao koe: he ko e meʻa ko ia ʻoku ke fakamaau ai ha taha, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ai koe; he ko koe ʻoku ke fakamaau, ʻoku ke fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.
2But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
2Ka ʻoku tau ʻilo pau ʻoku taau mo e fai totonu ʻae fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē.
3And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
3Pea ko koe, ʻe tangata, ʻoku ke fakamaauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ka ʻoku ke fai pehē pe ʻe koe, ʻoku ke mahalo te ke hao koe mei he fakamaau ʻae ʻOtua?
4Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
4Pe ʻoku ke loto manuki ki he lahi faufau ʻo ʻene angalelei, mo e faʻa kātaki, mo e kātaki ʻofa; ʻo ʻikai te ke ʻilo ko e angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ko e meʻa ke tataki koe ki he fakatomala?
5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
5Ka ʻi ho loto fefeka mo e taʻefakatomala, ʻoku ke fokotuʻu ai maʻau ʻae houhau ki he ʻaho ʻoe houhau, mo e fakahā ʻoe fakamaau totonu ʻae ʻOtua;
6Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
6ʻAia te ne ʻatu ai ki he tangata taki taha ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ngaahi ngāue:
7To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
7Ko e moʻui taʻengata kiate kinautolu ʻoku kumi ki he ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e moʻui taʻemate, ʻi he fakakukafi maʻuaipē ʻi he fai lelei:
8But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
8Ka ko e mamahi mo e houhau kiate kinautolu ʻoku angatuʻu, pea ʻikai talangofua ki he moʻoni, kae talangofua ki he taʻemāʻoniʻoni,
9Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
9Ko e tautea mo e feinga ki he laumālie ʻoe tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai kovi, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki;
10But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
10Ka ko e ongoongolelei, mo e hakeakiʻi, mo e fiemālie, ki he tangata kotoa pē ʻoku fai lelei, ʻo muʻomuʻa ki he Siu, pea ki he Senitaile foki:
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
11He ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he ʻOtua ha filifilimānako ki he tangata.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
12He ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala taʻehafono, ʻe ʻauha foki taʻehafono: pea ko kinautolu kotoa pē kuo angahala kuo ai ʻae fono, ʻe fakamaau ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae fono;
13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
13(He ʻoku ʻikai tonuhia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae kau fanongo ki he fono, ka ko e kau fai ki he fono ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi.
14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
14Koeʻuhi ʻi he fai mei honau loto ʻe he ngaahi Senitaile, ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻi he fono, ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻiate kinautolu ʻae fono, pea ko kinautolu ni ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻae fono, ko e fono ʻakinautolu kiate kinautolu:
15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
15ʻAkinautolu ʻoku fakahā hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fono kuo tohi tongi ʻi honau konsenisi, pea fakamoʻoni mo honau loto foki, pea ʻoku fakahalaʻi pe fakatonuhiaʻi ʻakinautolu ʻe heʻenau ngaahi fakakaukau;)
16In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
16ʻI he ʻaho ʻe fakamaau ai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻia Sisu Kalaisi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fufū ʻi he kakai, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻeku ongoongolelei.
17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
17Vakai, ʻoku ui koe ko e Siu, pea ʻoku ke falala ki he fono, pea ʻoku ke vikiviki ʻi he ʻOtua,
18And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
18Pea ʻoku ke ʻilo hono finangalo, pea ʻoku ke faʻa ʻiloʻi mo e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai kehekehe, he kuo akonekina koe mei he fono;
19And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
19Pea ʻoku ke pole ko e tataki ʻoe kui, ko e maama kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he poʻuli.
20An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
20Ko e fakahinohino ʻoe vale, ko e akonaki ʻoe kau valevale, ʻoku ke maʻu ʻae sino ʻoe ʻilo mo e moʻoni ʻi he fono.
21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
21Ko ia ko koe ʻoku ke akonakiʻi ʻae taha kehe, ʻOku ʻikai te ke akonakiʻi koe? Ko koe ʻoku ke malanga “Ke ʻoua naʻa kaihaʻa,” ʻoku ke kaihaʻa ʻe koe?
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
22Ko koe ʻoku ke pehē, “ʻOua naʻa tono fefine,” ʻoku moʻoni ?
23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
23Ko koe ʻoku ke vikiviki ki he fono, ʻikai ʻoku ke fakaongokoviʻi ʻe koe ʻae ʻOtua ʻi hoʻo maumauʻi ʻae fono?
24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
24He ko e meʻa ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku lauʻikovi ʻae huafa ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he kakai Senitaile, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi.
25For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
25He ʻoku ʻaonga moʻoni ʻae kamu, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke fai ki he fono: pea kapau ʻoku ke kei maumauʻi ʻae fono, ʻoku liliu ai hoʻo kamu ko e taʻekamu.
26Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
26Ko ia kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻae anga māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono, ʻikai ʻe lau ai ʻene taʻekamu ko e kamu?
27And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
27Pea kapau ʻe fai ki he fono ʻe he taʻekamu ʻaia ko ʻetau anga pē, ʻikai te ne fakamaauʻi koe, ʻa koe ʻoku ʻiate koe ʻae tohi mo e kamu, ka ʻoku ke maumauʻi pē ʻae fono?
28For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
28He ʻoku ʻikai ko e Siu, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻituʻa pe; pea ʻoku ʻikai ko e kamu, ʻaia ʻoku ʻituʻa ʻi he kakano:
29But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
29Ka ko e Siu ia, ʻaia ʻoku pehē ʻi loto; pea ko e kamu ʻoku ʻoe loto ia, ʻi he laumālie, kae ʻikai ʻi he tohi; pea ʻoku ʻikai mei he kakai hono fakamālō, ka mei he ʻOtua.
