Romans 7
1 Or do you not know, brothers (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has authority over a person for as long as he lives?
Ta ishato, taani odey higge eriya asatassa. Higgey issi asi paxa de7iya wode ubban iya haarees.
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning 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 then if, while the husband lives, she is joined to another man, she is called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress, though she is joined to 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 Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Messiah, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we may bear 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 sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit for 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, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of the Ruach, and not in oldness 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 shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not. However, I would not have known sin, except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness, unless the law had 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, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Shin ta ubbabaa amottana mela nagari higge baggara tanan oge demmis. Higgey bayneekko nagari hayqqidayssa.
9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin became alive, and I died.
Kase higgey baynna wode ta paxa, shin higgey imettida wode nagari paxin ta qassi hayqqas.
10 The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;
Taani de7on daana mela Xoossay immida higgey taw hayqo ehis.
11 for sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
Nagari higge baggara tana cimmiya ogiya demmidi wodhdhis.
12 Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
Hessa gisho, higgey geeshshi; iyan xaafettida kiitaykka geeshshi, xillonne lo77o.
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
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 fleshly, sold under sin.
Nuuni higgey ayyaanabaa gideyssa eroos. Shin taani nagaras bayzettida asho asi.
15 For I do not know what I am doing. For I do not practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
Taani oothiyabaa akeekikke; taani dosiyabaa oothanayssa aggada ta ixxiyabaa oothays.
16 But if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, higgey lo77o gideyssa ta ma77ays.
17 So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Hessa gidikko, he oosuwa tanan de7iya nagaray oothaysippe attin ta oothike.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For the desire is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.
Tanan, hessika ta ashuwan lo77obay baynnayssa erays. Lo77obaa oothiya amotethi tanan de7ees, shin lo77obaa oothanaw dandda7ikke.
19 For the good which I desire, I do not do; but the evil which I do not desire, that I practice.
Taani ixxiya iitabaa oothaysippe attin ta dosiya lo77obaa oothike.
20 But if what I do not desire, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me.
Taani ixxiyabaa oothiyabaa gidikko, hessa tanan de7iya nagaray ootheesippe attin oothey tana gidikke.
21 I find then the law, that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.
Hiza, ta lo77obaa oothanaw dosishin, iitabaa oosoy woga gideyssa demmas.
22 For I delight in God's law in my inner being,
Taani ta wozanan Xoossaa higgiyan ufayttays.
23 but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.
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 What a wretched man I am. Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?
Taani waanida yibbata asee? Hayqos efiya ha asatethaafe tana ashshanay oonee?
25 Thanks be to God through Yeshua the Messiah, our Lord. So then with the mind, I myself serve God's law, but with the flesh, the sin's law.
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.
