Romans 3
1 Then what advantage does the Jew have? Or what is the profit of circumcision?
Egaa Yihuudii taʼuun faayidaa maalii qaba? Yookaan buʼaan dhagna qabaa maalii?
2 Much in every way! Because first of all, they were entrusted with the revelations of God.
Karaa hundaanuu buʼaa guddaa qaba! Jalqabatti dubbiin Waaqaa Yihuudootatti imaanaa kenname.
3 For what if some were without faith? Will their lack of faith nullify the faithfulness of God?
Isaan keessaa tokko tokko yoo hin amanin maal ree? Amantii dhabuun isaanii amanamummaa Waaqaa ni balleessaa?
4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, “that you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgement.”
Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Namoonni hundinuu sobdoota, Waaqni immoo dhugaa qabeessa haa taʼu. Kunis akkuma, “Akka ati dubbii keetiin dhuga qabeessa taatuuf, yommuu murtiitti dhiʼaattuttis akka moʼattuuf” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
5 But if our unrighteousness commends the righteousness of God, what will we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak like men do.
Yoo jalʼinni keenya qajeelina Waaqaa ifa baase garuu maal jenna ree? Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa nutti fiduun isaa qajeelina dhabeetii? Kanas ani akka namaattin dubbadha.
6 May it never be! For then how will God judge the world?
Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Utuu akkas taʼee silaa Waaqni akkamitti addunyaatti muruu dandaʼa ree?
7 For if the truth of God through my lie abounded to his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Namni tokko, “Yoo soba kootiin dhuga qabeessummaan Waaqaa guddatee ulfinni isaas baayʼate maaliif hamma ammaatti akka cubbamaa tokkootti natti murama ree?” jedhee falma taʼa.
8 Why not (as we are slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), “Let’s do evil, that good may come?” Those who say so are justly condemned.
Kunis isa namoonni tokko tokko, “Isaan, ‘Akka wanni gaariin dhufuuf hammina haa hojjennu?’ jedhu” jedhanii nurratti odeessisanii dha. Murtiin isaanitti muramus waanuma maluu dha!
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.
Egaa maal jenna ree? Nu Yihuudoonni warra kaan caallaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Akka Yihuudoonnii fi Giriikonni hundinuu cubbuu jala jiran duraan dursinee mirkaneessineerraatii.
10 As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one.
Kunis kan akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Qajeelaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; namni tokko iyyuu;
11 There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God.
namni hubannaa qabu, kan Waaqa barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
12 They have all turned away. They have together become unprofitable. There is no one who does good, no, not so much as one.”
Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; walumatti warra faayidaa hin qabne taʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.”
13 “Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”
“Laagaan isaanii awwaala banamaa dha; arraba isaaniitiin ni gowwoomsu.” “Hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.”
14 “Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”
“Afaan isaanii abaarsaa fi hadhaaʼummaan guutame.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood.
“Miilli isaanii dhiiga dhangalaasuutti ariifata;
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways.
badiisaa fi gadadootu karaa isaanii irra jira;
17 The way of peace, they haven’t known.”
karaa nagaas hin beekan.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
“Waaqa sodaachuun ija isaanii dura hin jiru.”
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 judgement of God.
Akka afaan hundi cufamuu fi akka addunyaan hundinuu murtii Waaqaa jala galuuf, wanni seerri jedhu hundinuu akka warra seera jala jiraniif dubbatu ni beekna.
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.
Kanaafis eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa hin taʼu; seeratu cubbuu nu hubachiisaatii.
21 But now apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified by the Torah and the Prophets;
Amma garuu qajeelummaan Waaqaan kennamu kan seeraan adda taʼe, kan Seerrii fi Raajonni dhugaa baʼaniif mulʼateera.
22 even the righteousness of God through faith in Yeshua the Messiah to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,
Qajeelummaan Waaqaa kun amantiidhaan warra Yesuus Kiristoositti amanan hundaaf kennama; nama wal caalchisuun hin jiru;
23 for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;
sababii hundi isaanii iyyuu cubbuu hojjetaniif isaan ulfina Waaqaa irraa citaniiruutii;
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yeshua,
isaanis ayyaana Waaqaa isa furama karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin toluma kennameefiin qajeeltota taasifamaniiru.
25 whom God sent to be an atoning sacrifice through faith in his blood, for a demonstration of his righteousness through the passing over of prior sins, in God’s forbearance;
Dhiiga isaatti amantii qabaachuudhaanis akka inni aarsaa araaraa taʼuuf Waaqni isa dhiʼeesse. Waan kana gochuun isaas cubbuu kanaan dura hojjetame utuu hin adabin waan obsaan bira darbeef qajeelina isaa argisiisuuf jedhee ti;
26 to demonstrate his righteousness at this present time, that he might himself be just and the justifier of him who has faith in Yeshua.
Waaqni yeroo ammaa qajeelummaa isaa argisiisuu fi akka nama Yesuusitti amanus qajeelaa taʼuu isaa labsuuf waan kana godhe.
27 Where then is the boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Yoos of tuuluun eessa jira ree? Inni hafeera. Seera kamiin? Seera eeguudhaan moo? Miti; seera amantiitiin malee.
28 We maintain therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Nu akka namni seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantiidhaan qajeelaa taasifamu ni amannaatii.
29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Isn’t he the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also,
Waaqni Waaqa Yihuudootaa qofa moo? Inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaas mitii? Eeyyee, inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaatis;
30 since indeed there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.
egaa kan dhagna qabates amantiin, kan dhagna hin qabatinis amantiidhuma sanaan qajeelaa kan taasisu Waaquma tokkicha.
31 Do we then nullify the law through faith? May it never be! No, we establish the law.
Yoos nu amantii kanaan seera sana cabsinaa ree? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Seericha ni cimsina malee.
