Romans 2
1 [God will severely punish non-Jewish people who habitually do evil things, because he has clearly revealed that he is angry with them]. So, [when God judges people], he will not excuse any one of you Jews [to whom I am writing]. You [(sg)] say that [God should] punish [non-Jews for doing evil things]. But when any one of you says that, it is you yourself whom you are saying that God should punish, because you [(sg)] do [some of] the same [evil] things [that the non-Jews do].
Hessa gishshi neno hara bolla piridizayso neni ta hanni geedon oothadisi gaada gaasoy neesi deena. Ne hara ura bolla piiridizayssan nerika nees kunane ekkaasa. Gaasoykka hara ura bolla ne piridizaysa neka zaarada iza oothiza gishaskko.
2 We know very well that God will judge and punish fairly [non-Jewish] people who do such [evil] things.
Hayta malata oothiza asata bolla Xoossa piriday liike gididayssa nu erossi
3 So, you who [say God should punish] others for doing evil things yet you do evil things yourself, (you should certainly not think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God!/do you think that you yourself will be able to escape from being punished by God?) [RHQ]
Hesa gishshi ne asa bolla piridashe he ne piiridizasa zaara oothizade gidiko ne Xoossa piiridafe kessa eka attana nees millatizee?
4 And you should not say, “God is acting very tolerantly and patiently toward me, [so I do not need to stop sinning] [DOU].” (You should realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior!/Do you not realize that God is acting in a kind manner [toward you] in order to encourage you [(sg)] to turn away from your sinful behavior?) [RHQ]
woykko Xoossa kiiyatethi nena marotethako kallithizaysa shaaka erontta dashe iza gita kiiyatethane iza danida7a duretetha ne liiqazii?
5 But instead, by your stubbornly refusing to turn away from your sinful behavior [DOU], you are causing [MET] God to punish you even more severely. [He will do that] at the time when he shows that he is angry and judges people fairly.
Gido attin neni ne wozina mumetethanine marotethi koyontta ne wozina geedon tuma Xoossa piiriday qoniciza wode Xoossa hanqo gallasa ne daro hanqqo shiishshasa.
6 God will pay back everyone according to [what they deserve for] what they have done.
Xoossi isi isi uras iza ootho mala immana.
7 [Specifically], some people, by continuing to doing good things, strive to be highly honored [by God] [DOU] and to receive a life that will not end. [God will reward them by enabling them] to live forever. (aiōnios g166)
Lo7o ootho aggontta oothidi boncho sabane medhina dusi koyzaytas miidhina deyo immana. (aiōnios g166)
8 But some people act in a selfish way and refuse to believe that [what God says is] true, and they do the things that [God says] are wrong. [God will] punish them very severely [DOU, MTY].
Gido attin berika bena dosizaytasine tuma agagidi iitta kallizayta bolla piiridayne hanqoy gakana.
9 He will cause everyone who habitually does evil deeds to suffer greatly, [with the result that they will become severely] distressed [DOU]. This certainly will happen to the Jews [who refuse to accept God’s message, because God gave them the privilege to be his special people], but it will also happen to the non-Jews.
Itita oothiza ay asa bolla koyro Ayhude asa bolla kaallid hanko hara dere asa bolla wayeyne metoy gakana.
10 But [God will] greatly reward spiritually [MET, DOU] every person who habitually does good deeds. He will [certainly] do this for the Jews [because God chose them as his special people], but he will also do it for the non-Jews.
Gidikkoka lo7o oothizades oonasika Ayhuda asas gidin hankko dere asas sabay, sarotethinne bonchoy gidana.
11 God [will do this fairly], because people’s status does not influence him.
Xoossi oonaka shaakk maaddena.
12 Although [non-Jews do not have] the laws that [God gave to Moses], all [non-Jews] who sin will be eternally separated from God. He will [not consider whether or not they knew] the laws that he [gave to Moses]. And all the [Jews] who have sinned in spite of knowing the laws that [God gave to Moses will also be punished] {[God will also punish them]}. [They will be punished for disobeying] God’s laws.
Kase wogay eqontta wode nagara oothida asay wurikka wogay bayinida dhayana. Wogay eqi simmini nagara oothidayti wogan oyketidi piiridistana.
13 [It is right for them to be punished] {[God to punish them]} [because] it is not those who [merely] know God’s laws whom he considers to be righteous. On the contrary, it is only those who continually have obeyed [all] (of [God’s] laws/of the laws that [God gave to Moses]) (whom God will consider righteous/whose record of sins God will erase).
Aysi gikko Xoossa achan xiillo geetettizayti eqida wogaas azazetizaytape attin woga sisi siyzayta gidetena.
14 Whenever the non-Jews, who do not have the laws [God gave to Moses], naturally obey those laws, [they prove that] they have a law within their own minds, even though they do not have the laws [God gave to Moses].
Wogay baynida dere asati wogay yootizaysa coo mela hanotethafe eridi oothishin isttas wogay baynida agikokka isttas medhetetha wogay diza gishshi istti ba oothanayssa ereetes.
15 They show that they know in their own minds what God [commands in his] laws [MET], as each person in his very own conscience either accuses or excuses/defends himself [concerning his own behavior].
Istta wozinay isttas marikatiza gishine istta qofay istta mootiza gishshi qasseka istta maaddiza gishshi wogay yootizay istta wozinan xaafetidayssa ereetes.
16 God [will punish people] at the time when he will judge them according to what they have thought and done. He will judge them [even] for the things that they have done secretly. He will judge people by [authorizing] Christ Jesus [to judge them]. This is [what I tell people when] I preach the gospel to them.
Hesikka ta mishshiracho qaalan tamarssiza mala Xoossi asa wizinan qotetidayssa Kirisitoosa baggara piiridiza gallasan qoniccana.
17 [Now I have something to say to any one of] you [Jews to whom I am writing]: You [(sg)] boast about yourself saying, “I am a Jew.” You [(sg)] trust [that God will save you because you possess] the laws [that he gave to Moses]. You boast that [you belong to] God.
Ne nena Ayhuda asi gikko wogan ammanetasane neesi Xoossara diza issipetethan ceeqetaasa.
18 You know what God desires. Because you have been taught {[people] have taught you} [God’s] laws, you are able to know which things are right and to choose to do them.
Woga kaalliza gishshi Xoossa shene erada kumethi gidizazi shaakka erida gidiko
19 You are certain that you [are able to] show [God’s truth to non-Jews], as guides [show the road] to those who are blind [MET]. You are certain that by what you say you can show God’s way to the [non-Jews who do not understand it], as a light shows the way to [those who walk in] the darkness [MET, DOU].
Ne qoqista kallethizade dhuman dizaytas poo7o gididaysa ne amanetidade gidiko
20 [You are certain that you] can instruct/correct [non-Jews, whom you consider] foolish [because of their not understanding God’s message]. Because you have in [God’s] laws a [written] expression of true knowledge [HEN], you are certain that you can teach [people who, being like] children, do not know [God’s truth] [MET].
Wogape ne demida eratethaninne tumatethan hankko eronitayta zorizade, guutha nayitta tamarisizade gidikko
21 [Since you claim that you have all these advantages because you are a Jew], (it is disgusting that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach!/why is it that you who teach other people [that they should obey the laws God gave Moses] do not [obey the laws that you] yourself teach?) [RHQ] You who preach that people should not steal things, it is disgusting that you yourself steal things! [RHQ]
Histiko neni harata tamariso agada ne hu7es aazas tamarikii? Ne hara ura kaysottopa ga sabakashe neesi kaysotazii?
22 You who command people not to have sexual relations with someone to whom they are not married, it is disgusting that you commit adultery yourself! [RHQ] You who detest idols, it is disgusting that you rob temples [where people worship idols]! [RHQ]
Ne hara asay laymatontta mala yootashe nees laymaytazii? Nees Eeqa ixxasashin Xoossa keeththa miisha bonqqazii?
23 You who boast saying, “[I have God’s] laws,” it is disgusting that you disobey those same laws! [RHQ] As a result you are insulting God!
Neesi wogan ceeqetasa shin woga ne baggara oothontta aggada Xoossa kawushizii?
24 [You must not be like our ancestors, about whom] were written [these words in the Scriptures: ] “The non-Jews speak evil about God because of [the evil actions of] many of you [Jews].” The non-Jews say God must be a hypocrite if he condones the behavior of people like you.
Hesikka “Inte geedon Xoossa sunthi hanko dere asa achan cayetesi” geetetti xaafetida mala hanides.
25 Any one of you who [is] circumcised [to show that he belongs to God] can benefit from that if he obeys the laws [God gave to Moses]. But if you [(sg), a circumcised person], disobey [God’s] laws, [God will consider that] you who are circumcised are no better [in God’s sight] than [someone who is] not circumcised.
Ne woga naaga pollizade gidiko qaxaras goo7ay dees. Ne wogaa oothonttade gidiko qasse ne qaxaray coo melakko.
26 This means that God will certainly consider that even [non-Jews who are] not circumcised can become his people if they obey the things that he commanded in his laws. [RHQ]
Qaxaretontta dishe wogaa gizaysa polliko qaxaretidadera gina qodetenee?
27 [If any one of] you disobeys God’s laws, even though [you(sg) have] the Scriptures and even though someone has circumcised you {you are circumcised} [God will punish you]. And those people who are not circumcised, but who obey God’s laws, [will declare that God is right] when he says that he will punish you.
Nees xaafeti wogayne qaxaray nees diikko diza woga ne nagonttade gidikko hanko qaxaretontta wogas azazetiday ne bolla piridana.
28 It is not those who perform rituals [to show they are God’s people] who are [true] Jews, and it is not being circumcised in their bodies [that causes God to accept them] [MTY].
Issade coo mela sunthas asa ayfen ta Ayhuda asi gidana gikko izi Ayhuda asi gidena. Tumape qaxeretethi coo karera asho ayfeni bettiza qaxxara gidena.
29 On the contrary, we whom [God has changed] inwardly are [true] Jews [MTY]. And [God has accepted us because we have allowed God’s] Spirit to change our hearts, not because we perform rituals. Even if [other] people will not praise us [for that change], God will praise us.
Gidikkokka issi uray Ayuda asa gidanaas danda7izay izas gaatha baggara Ayude asa gidishinkko. Qaxarayka qaxara gidizay xaafetida wogaa xalala gidontta ayanan wozinape gidida qaxxara gidikokka hessa mala assi galata asape gidontta Xoossafe demmees.
