Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Yaatin, Ayhude gidon ay dummatethi de7ii? Woykko qaxxaretethan ay maadey de7ii?
2 Much in every way. Because first of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Tumakka Ayhude gidoy daro ogera maaddees. Ubbaafe sinthe Xoossay ba qaala hadara Ayhudetas immis.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Yaatin, enttafe issoti issoti qaala ammanonna ixxiko, entta ixxoy Xoossaa ammanetethaa diggiyye?
4 Absolutely not. Let God be found true, but every human being a liar. As it is written, "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you judge."
Diggenna! Asa ubbay worddanchcho gidikkoka Xoossay tuma gido. Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Ne qaalan ne xillasa; nena mooteyssa pirddan lathaasa” geetettidi xaafettis.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? (I am speaking in human terms).
Yaatin, nu nagaray Xoossay xillo gideyssa bessiyabaa gidikko, nu woyganee? Xoossay nu nagara gisho, nu bolla pirddiko, likke gidenneyye? Hayssa taani asa qofatho gays.
6 Absolutely not. For then how will God judge the world?
Hessi ubbarakka hanenna. Hessada hanikko, Xoossay ha alamiya bolla waati pirddanee?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Shin ta worddotethay Xoossaa tumaa qonccisidi, iya bonchchuwa darssi bessiyabaa gidikko, yaatin, ays ta bolla nagaranchchoda pirddeetii?
8 And Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, that good may come?" Their condemnation is just.
Issi issi asay, “Lo77oy yaana mela iita oothoos” yaagidi tamaarssiyaada oothidi tana mootosona. Hessa mela asaa bolla yaa Xoossaa pirdday likke.
9 What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
Yaatin, nuuni woyganee? Nu Ayhudeti, Ayhude gidonnayssatappe aadhdhonaayye? Gidenna! Ayhude gidin, Ayhude gidonna attin ubbay nagaranchcho gideyssa taani kasetada hinttew odas.
10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one."
Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Xillo asi issoykka baawa.
11 "There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
Akeekiya asi baawa, Xoossaa koyaa oonikka baawa.
12 They have all turned aside. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, there is not even one."
Asa ubbay Xoossaas zokko zaaridosona; ubbay issife pathonnabaa gididosona. Lo77o oothiya oonikka baawa; issi asikka baawa.
13 "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "Viper's poison is under their lips;"
Entta doonappe keyaa qaalay, dooyettida duufoppe keyaa xinqqo mela; bantta inxarssan cimmoosona. Entta doonappe ase wodhiya, shoosha marzey keyees.
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."
Entta doonan camo odaynne baadethi kumis.
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood.
Entti suuthi gussanaw ellesoosona.
16 Destruction and calamity are in their paths.
Entta ogiyan dhayoynne qohoy de7ees.
17 The way of peace, they have not known."
Entti sarotetha ogiya erokkona.
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."
Bantta de7uwan Xoossaas yayyokonna” geetettidi xaafettis.
19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
Ase ubbaa doona oythanawunne kumetha alamiya Xoossaa pirddaafe garssan shiishanaw, higgey imettiday higgefe garssan aqeyssatas gideyssa nu eroos.
20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Hessa gisho, oonikka higges kiitettidi Xoossaa sinthan xillanaw dandda7enna. Higgey asi ubbay nagaranchcho gideyssa bessees.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Law and the Prophets;
Shin ha77i Xoossay asi higgey baynnashin xilliya oge qonccisis. He ogiya Muse higgeynne nabeti markkattidosona.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. For there is no distinction,
Ha xillotethaa, Xoossay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara asa ubbaas shaakoy baynna immees.
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
Asa ubbay nagara oothidosona; Xoossay enttaw immida bonchchuwafe haakkidi attidosona.
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
Shin entti Xoossaa aadho keehatethan, woziya Kiristtoos Yesuusa baggara coo xillidosona.
25 whom God set forth whom God displayed publicly as a mercy seat, through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness, because in God's forbearance he had passed over the sins previously committed;
Xoossay Yesuus Kiristtoosa yarshsho oothidi immiday, iya ammaniyaa ubbay iya suuthan nagara maarotethi demmana melassa. Xoossay hessa oothiday ba dandda7an kase nagaraa taybonna aggidi, ba xillotethaa bessanaassa.
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, so that he would be just, and the justifier of him who has faith in Jesus.
Ha77i wodiyan Yesuusa ammaniyaa ubbaa xillisidi, Xoossay ba huu7en xillo gideyssa bessees.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Yaatin, nu ceeqettiyabay aybi de7ii? Aybikka baawa. Nuuni ceeqettey higges kiitettiya gishoyye? Akkay! Ammano gishossa.
28 For we maintain that one is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Xoossay ase xillisey ammanonnappe attin higges kiitetethan gidonnayssa nu akeekos.
29 Or is God for Jews only? Is he not the God of the non-Jews also? Yes, of the non-Jews also,
Woykko Xoossay Ayhudeta xalaala Xoosseyye? Ayhude gidonnayssatas Xoosse gidenneyye? Tuma, Ayhude gidonnayssataskka I Xoosse.
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith, and the uncircumcised through faith.
Xoossay issino; Ayhudetanne Ayhude gidonnayssata ammanon xillisey iya.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not. No, we establish the law.
Yaatin, nuuni higgiya ammano gisho shaaros guusseyye? Gidenna! Higgiya minthosippe attin.
