Romans 7
1 Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?
Ta ishato, taani odey higge eriya asatassa. Higgey issi asi paxa de7iya wode ubban iya haarees.
2 For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.
Leemisos, azina gelida maccasiya I azinay paxa de7iya wode higgen iyara qashettasu. Shin I azinay hayqqiko iyara iya caaqqida caaqoy iyo haarenna.
3 So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.
Hessa gisho, iya ba azinay paxa de7ishin, hara adde gelikko, iya laammidaaro geetettawusu. Shin I azinay hayqqiko, caaqoy iyo haaronna gisho iya hara azina gelikko, iya laammidaaro geetettuku.
4 In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.
Hessa gisho, ta ishato, hintte Kiristtoosa asatethaa baggara higge wolqqaas hayqqidi, Xoossaas ayfe ayfanaw hayqoppe denddida Kiristtoosas gidideta.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.
Nu asho amoy nuna haarin, nu de7iya wode higgey gujji nagara oothana mela nuna denthethees. Nu asatethaa giddon iita amotethi de7iya gisho nuuni hayqo ayfe ayfana mela oothis.
6 But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.
Shin ha77i nuuni nuna qachchida higgiyas hayqqida gisho nuuni higge qashoppe bilettida. Hessa gisho, Geeshsha Ayyaana ogen Xoossaas kiitettosippe attin xaafettida cima higgiyas kiitettoko.
7 What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Higgey ba huu7en nagaree? Gidenna! Shin higgey nagari aybeekko tana erisis. Higgey, “Amottofa” goonnako, amotethi aybeekko taani erikke.
8 But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.
Shin ta ubbabaa amottana mela nagari higge baggara tanan oge demmis. Higgey bayneekko nagari hayqqidayssa.
9 And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;
Kase higgey baynna wode ta paxa, shin higgey imettida wode nagari paxin ta qassi hayqqas.
10 And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:
Taani de7on daana mela Xoossay immida higgey taw hayqo ehis.
11 For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.
Nagari higge baggara tana cimmiya ogiya demmidi wodhdhis.
12 But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.
Hessa gisho, higgey geeshshi; iyan xaafettida kiitaykka geeshshi, xillonne lo77o.
13 Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
Yaatin, lo77o gididabay ta bolla hayqo ehideyye? Gidenna! Shin nagari nagara gideyssi qonccana mela lo77oban maaddettidi taw hayqo ehis. Hessa gisho, nagara nagaratethay higge baggara aadhdhidi erettis.
14 For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.
Nuuni higgey ayyaanabaa gideyssa eroos. Shin taani nagaras bayzettida asho asi.
15 And I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing, for that which I have a mind to do, I do not, but what I have hate for, that I do.
Taani oothiyabaa akeekikke; taani dosiyabaa oothanayssa aggada ta ixxiyabaa oothays.
16 But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, higgey lo77o gideyssa ta ma77ays.
17 So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
Hessa gidikko, he oosuwa tanan de7iya nagaray oothaysippe attin ta oothike.
18 For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.
Tanan, hessika ta ashuwan lo77obay baynnayssa erays. Lo77obaa oothiya amotethi tanan de7ees, shin lo77obaa oothanaw dandda7ikke.
19 For the good which I have a mind to do, I do not: but the evil which I have no mind to do, that I do.
Taani ixxiya iitabaa oothaysippe attin ta dosiya lo77obaa oothike.
20 But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, hessa tanan de7iya nagaray ootheesippe attin oothey tana gidikke.
21 So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.
Hiza, ta lo77obaa oothanaw dosishin, iitabaa oosoy woga gideyssa demmas.
22 In my heart I take pleasure in the law of God,
Taani ta wozanan Xoossaa higgiyan ufayttays.
23 But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.
Shin ta asatethaa giddon de7iya ta qofaa higgiyara olettiya dumma higge be7ays. He higgey ta asatethaa giddon oothiya nagara higgiyas tana aylle oothidi immis.
24 How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?
Taani waanida yibbata asee? Hayqos efiya ha asatethaafe tana ashshanay oonee?
25 I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.
Nu Godaa Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara tana ashshiya Xoossaas galatay gido. Hiza, taani ta qofan Xoossaa higgiyas haarettays; shin ta asatethan tana nagara oosisiya higgiyas haarettays.
