Romans 3
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?
Egaa Yihuudii taʼuun faayidaa maalii qaba? Yookaan buʼaan dhagna qabaa maalii?
2 Much every way: first of all, that they were intrusted with the oracles of God.
Karaa hundaanuu buʼaa guddaa qaba! Jalqabatti dubbiin Waaqaa Yihuudootatti imaanaa kenname.
3 For what if some were without faith? shall their want of faith make of none effect the faithfulness of God?
Isaan keessaa tokko tokko yoo hin amanin maal ree? Amantii dhabuun isaanii amanamummaa Waaqaa ni balleessaa?
4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.
Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Namoonni hundinuu sobdoota, Waaqni immoo dhugaa qabeessa haa taʼu. Kunis akkuma, “Akka ati dubbii keetiin dhuga qabeessa taatuuf, yommuu murtiitti dhiʼaattuttis akka moʼattuuf” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
5 But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)
Yoo jalʼinni keenya qajeelina Waaqaa ifa baase garuu maal jenna ree? Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa nutti fiduun isaa qajeelina dhabeetii? Kanas ani akka namaattin dubbadha.
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Utuu akkas taʼee silaa Waaqni akkamitti addunyaatti muruu dandaʼa ree?
7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Namni tokko, “Yoo soba kootiin dhuga qabeessummaan Waaqaa guddatee ulfinni isaas baayʼate maaliif hamma ammaatti akka cubbamaa tokkootti natti murama ree?” jedhee falma taʼa.
8 and why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
Kunis isa namoonni tokko tokko, “Isaan, ‘Akka wanni gaariin dhufuuf hammina haa hojjennu?’ jedhu” jedhanii nurratti odeessisanii dha. Murtiin isaanitti muramus waanuma maluu dha!
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we before laid to the charge both of Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin;
Egaa maal jenna ree? Nu Yihuudoonni warra kaan caallaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Akka Yihuudoonnii fi Giriikonni hundinuu cubbuu jala jiran duraan dursinee mirkaneessineerraatii.
10 as it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one;
Kunis kan akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Qajeelaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; namni tokko iyyuu;
11 There is none that understandeth, There is none that seeketh after God;
namni hubannaa qabu, kan Waaqa barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
12 They have all turned aside, they are together become unprofitable; There is none that doeth good, no, not so much as one:
Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; walumatti warra faayidaa hin qabne taʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.”
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; With their tongues they have used deceit: The poison of asps is under their lips:
“Laagaan isaanii awwaala banamaa dha; arraba isaaniitiin ni gowwoomsu.” “Hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.”
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
“Afaan isaanii abaarsaa fi hadhaaʼummaan guutame.”
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood;
“Miilli isaanii dhiiga dhangalaasuutti ariifata;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
badiisaa fi gadadootu karaa isaanii irra jira;
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
karaa nagaas hin beekan.”
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
“Waaqa sodaachuun ija isaanii dura hin jiru.”
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it speaketh to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:
Akka afaan hundi cufamuu fi akka addunyaan hundinuu murtii Waaqaa jala galuuf, wanni seerri jedhu hundinuu akka warra seera jala jiraniif dubbatu ni beekna.
20 because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law [cometh] the knowledge of sin.
Kanaafis eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa hin taʼu; seeratu cubbuu nu hubachiisaatii.
21 But now apart from the law a righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Amma garuu qajeelummaan Waaqaan kennamu kan seeraan adda taʼe, kan Seerrii fi Raajonni dhugaa baʼaniif mulʼateera.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe; for there is no distinction;
Qajeelummaan Waaqaa kun amantiidhaan warra Yesuus Kiristoositti amanan hundaaf kennama; nama wal caalchisuun hin jiru;
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
sababii hundi isaanii iyyuu cubbuu hojjetaniif isaan ulfina Waaqaa irraa citaniiruutii;
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
isaanis ayyaana Waaqaa isa furama karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin toluma kennameefiin qajeeltota taasifamaniiru.
25 whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God;
Dhiiga isaatti amantii qabaachuudhaanis akka inni aarsaa araaraa taʼuuf Waaqni isa dhiʼeesse. Waan kana gochuun isaas cubbuu kanaan dura hojjetame utuu hin adabin waan obsaan bira darbeef qajeelina isaa argisiisuuf jedhee ti;
26 for the showing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus.
Waaqni yeroo ammaa qajeelummaa isaa argisiisuu fi akka nama Yesuusitti amanus qajeelaa taʼuu isaa labsuuf waan kana godhe.
27 Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith.
Yoos of tuuluun eessa jira ree? Inni hafeera. Seera kamiin? Seera eeguudhaan moo? Miti; seera amantiitiin malee.
28 We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Nu akka namni seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantiidhaan qajeelaa taasifamu ni amannaatii.
29 Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also:
Waaqni Waaqa Yihuudootaa qofa moo? Inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaas mitii? Eeyyee, inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaatis;
30 if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
egaa kan dhagna qabates amantiin, kan dhagna hin qabatinis amantiidhuma sanaan qajeelaa kan taasisu Waaquma tokkicha.
31 Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.
Yoos nu amantii kanaan seera sana cabsinaa ree? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Seericha ni cimsina malee.
