Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers, (now I am speaking to those who know the law) that the law has dominion over a man only so long as he lives?
Ta ishato, taani odey higge eriya asatassa. Higgey issi asi paxa de7iya wode ubban iya haarees.
2 For example, a woman who is subject to a husband is obligated by the law while her husband lives. But when her husband has died, she is released from the law of her husband.
Leemisos, azina gelida maccasiya I azinay paxa de7iya wode higgen iyara qashettasu. Shin I azinay hayqqiko iyara iya caaqqida caaqoy iyo haarenna.
3 Therefore, while her husband lives, if she has been with another man, she should be called an adulteress. But when her husband has died, she is freed from the law of her husband, such that, if she has been with another man, she is not an adulteress.
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 And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for 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 passions of sins, which were under the law, operated within our bodies, so as to bear fruit unto 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 have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by 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 should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.”
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Higgey ba huu7en nagaree? Gidenna! Shin higgey nagari aybeekko tana erisis. Higgey, “Amottofa” goonnako, amotethi aybeekko taani erikke.
8 But sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.
Shin ta ubbabaa amottana mela nagari higge baggara tanan oge demmis. Higgey bayneekko nagari hayqqidayssa.
9 Now I lived for some time apart from the law. But when the commandment had arrived, sin was revived,
Kase higgey baynna wode ta paxa, shin higgey imettida wode nagari paxin ta qassi hayqqas.
10 and I died. And the commandment, which was unto life, was itself found to be unto death for me.
Taani de7on daana mela Xoossay immida higgey taw hayqo ehis.
11 For sin, receiving an opportunity through the commandment, seduced me, and, through the law, sin killed me.
Nagari higge baggara tana cimmiya ogiya demmidi wodhdhis.
12 And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.
Hessa gisho, higgey geeshshi; iyan xaafettida kiitaykka geeshshi, xillonne lo77o.
13 Then was what is good made into death for me? Let it not be so! But rather sin, in order that it might be known as sin by what is good, wrought death in me; so that sin, through the commandment, might become sinful beyond measure.
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 know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, having been sold under sin.
Nuuni higgey ayyaanabaa gideyssa eroos. Shin taani nagaras bayzettida asho asi.
15 For I do things that I do not understand. For I do not do the good that I want to do. But the evil that I hate is what I do.
Taani oothiyabaa akeekikke; taani dosiyabaa oothanayssa aggada ta ixxiyabaa oothays.
16 So, when I do what I do not want to do, I am in agreement with the law, that the law is good.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, higgey lo77o gideyssa ta ma77ays.
17 But I am then acting not according to the law, but according to the sin which lives within me.
Hessa gidikko, he oosuwa tanan de7iya nagaray oothaysippe attin ta oothike.
18 For I know that what is good does not live within me, that is, within my flesh. For the willingness to do good lies close to me, but the carrying out of that good, I cannot reach.
Tanan, hessika ta ashuwan lo77obay baynnayssa erays. Lo77obaa oothiya amotethi tanan de7ees, shin lo77obaa oothanaw dandda7ikke.
19 For I do not do the good that I want to do. But instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do.
Taani ixxiya iitabaa oothaysippe attin ta dosiya lo77obaa oothike.
20 Now if I do what I am not willing to do, it is no longer I who am doing it, but the sin which lives within me.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, hessa tanan de7iya nagaray ootheesippe attin oothey tana gidikke.
21 And so, I discover the law, by wanting to do good within myself, though evil lies close beside me.
Hiza, ta lo77obaa oothanaw dosishin, iitabaa oosoy woga gideyssa demmas.
22 For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inner man.
Taani ta wozanan Xoossaa higgiyan ufayttays.
23 But I perceive another law within my body, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me with the law of sin which is in my body.
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 Unhappy man that I am, who will free me from this body of death?
Taani waanida yibbata asee? Hayqos efiya ha asatethaafe tana ashshanay oonee?
25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord! Therefore, I serve the law of God with my own mind; but with the flesh, 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.
