Romans 2
Maori Bible
2 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.
2 Na e matau ana tatou kei runga i te pono te whakahenga a te Atua mo nga kaimahi i aua mea.
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?
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?
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;
6 Mana e homai ki tetahi, ki tetahi, kia rite ki a ratou mahi:
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:
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,
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:
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:
11 Kahore hoki a te Atua whakapai kanohi.
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;
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.
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:
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;
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.
17 Otira, mehemea e tapaina ana koe he Hurai, a, e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki te ture, e whakamanamana ana ki te Atua,
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,
19 A, e u ana tou whakaaro, ko koe hei kaiarahi mo nga matapo, hei marama mo te hunga i roto i te pouri,
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;
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
26 Na ki te mau i te kotingakore nga tikanga o te ture, e kore ianei tona kotingakore e kiia hei kotinga?
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?
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.
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.

God’s Righteous Judgment
2 You, therefore, have no excuse,(A) you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.(B) 2 Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3 So when you, a mere human being, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches(C) of his kindness,(D) forbearance(E) and patience,(F) not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?(G)
5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath(H), when his righteous judgment(I) will be revealed. 6 God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”[a](J) 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor(K) and immortality,(L) he will give eternal life.(M) 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil,(N) there will be wrath and anger.(O) 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil:(P) first for the Jew, then for the Gentile;(Q) 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.(R) 11 For God does not show favoritism.(S)
12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law(T) will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey(U) the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law,(V) they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) 16 This will take place on the day when God judges people’s secrets(W) through Jesus Christ,(X) as my gospel(Y) declares.
The Jews and the Law
17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God;(Z) 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of little children, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth— 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?(AA) 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?(AB) 23 You who boast in the law,(AC) do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 As it is written: “God’s name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.”[b](AD)
25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law,(AE) but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised.(AF) 26 So then, if those who are not circumcised keep the law’s requirements,(AG) will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised?(AH) 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you(AI) who, even though you have the[c] written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker.
28 A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly,(AJ) nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.(AK) 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart,(AL) by the Spirit,(AM) not by the written code.(AN) Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.(AO)
