1 N a 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.

Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

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

And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

3 K o 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 do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, 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 think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

5 H eoi 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 because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

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

who will render to each person according to his deeds:

7 K i 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:

to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;

8 K i 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 selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation.

9 H e pawera, he raru, mo nga wairua tangata katoa e mahi ana i te kino, mo te Hurai ki mua, mo te Kariki ano hoki:

There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,

10 H e 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 to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

11 K ahore hoki a te Atua whakapai kanohi.

For there is no partiality with God.

12 K o 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 all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

13 H e 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 the doers of the Law will 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 Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to 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;

in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending 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.

on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus. The Jew Is Condemned by the Law

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

But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast 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 know His will and approve the things that are essential, being instructed out of 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,

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

20 H ei 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;

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

21 h e 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?

you, therefore, who teach another, do you not teach yourself? You who preach that one shall not steal, do you 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 who say that one should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

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 who boast in the Law, through your breaking the Law, do you dishonor God?

24 N a 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 “ the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is 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.

For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

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

So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded 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 he who is physically uncircumcised, if he keeps the Law, will he not judge you who though having the letter of the Law and circumcision are a transgressor of the Law?

28 E hara 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 he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.

29 E ngari 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 he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
