Roome 7
1 Ta ishato tani wogaa eriza asatas yootays. Wogaa shemipora paxxa diza asa xalala harizayssa inte ereketii?
Brethren, do you not know--for I am writing to people acquainted with the Law--that it is during our lifetime that we are subject to the Law?
2 Issi macashi azina geliko ba azinara wogan iza qachetizay azinay paxxa diza wode gakanaskko. Azinay hayqiko iza machcho gidiza wogape anjjistaysu.
A wife, for instance, whose husband is living is bound to him by the Law; but if her husband dies the law that bound her to him has now no hold over her.
3 Gido attin azinay paxxa dishin iza hara azina gelliko laymatasusu geetistaysu. Azinay hayqiko qase hara ura iza gelliko kase azina wogape anjjistadus attin layma getetuku.
This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.
4 Hessa gishshi ta ishato inteka Yesus Kiristoosa asho baggara wogas hayqidista. Inte hayqope denidida kiristoosa bagga gidin nuni Xoossas ayfe ayfanaskko.
So, my brethren, to you also the Law died through the incarnation of Christ, that you might be wedded to Another, namely to Him who rose from the dead in order that we might yield fruit to God.
5 Nagarancha medhetetha shenen nu diza wode hayqo ayfe nu ayfana mala wogay denththethida nagara amoy nu bolla oothides.
For whilst we were under the thraldom of our earthly natures, sinful passions-- made sinful by the Law--were always being aroused to action in our bodily faculties that they might yield fruit to death.
6 Ha7i gidiko kasse nuna waaxi qachida hayqida gishshi wogape wozetidosu. Hesikka kase cega wogan xaafetidayssan gidontta dishe ooratha ayana ogen nuni oothanaskko.
But seeing that we have died to that which once held us in bondage, the Law has now no hold over us, so that we render a service which, instead of being old and formal, is new and spiritual.
7 Histin nu ay ginoo? Be hu7es wogay naragaa? muleka gidena. wogaa bagara gidonttako nagaray azakone nu erokoko shin. wogay “amotofa” gonttako amoy azakone tumupe ta erikke.
What follows? Is the Law itself a sinful thing? No, indeed; on the contrary, unless I had been taught by the Law, I should have known nothing of sin as sin. For instance, I should not have known what covetousness is, if the Law had not repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not covet."
8 Nagaray qasse wogape kezida azazoy bessida ogen go7ettidi ta gidon dumma dumma iitta amo denithethides. wogay yanappe kasse nagaray hayqithiko.
Sin took advantage of this, and by means of the Commandment stirred up within me every kind of coveting; for apart from Law sin would be dead.
9 wogay baynida kase tani paxxa dayisse shin wogay yiini qase nagaray paxxa gidides. ta gidikko hayqadis.
Once, apart from Law, I was alive, but when the Commandment came, sin sprang into life, and I died;
10 He asi ashana qofetida azazoyka hayqo ekii yidaysa eradis.
and, as it turned out, the very Commandment which was to bring me life, brought me death.
11 Nagaray woga baggara bettida gaason go7ettidi tana balethidesine azazon wodhides.
For sin seized the advantage, and by means of the Commandment it completely deceived me, and also put me to death.
12 Hessa gishshi wogay ba baggara geeshshikko. azazoyka geesh, xiilone loo7okko.
So that the Law itself is holy, and the Commandment is holy, just and good.
13 Gido attin loo7osu hanidaysi taas hayqos gididee? Mulekka gidena. Gido attin nagaray ba nagaratethan eretana mala loo7o gidida hano bagara ta bolla hayqo ehides. Hesikka nagaray azazo baggara kassepe aathi nagara darisides.
Did then a thing which is good become death to me? No, indeed, but sin did; so that through its bringing about death by means of what was good, it might be seen in its true light as sin, in order that by means of the Commandment the unspeakable sinfulness of sin might be plainly shown.
14 Wogay ayana yo gididaysa nu erosu. Ta qasse nagaras aylle mala bayzetida asikko.
For we know that the Law is a spiritual thing; but I am unspiritual--the slave, bought and sold, of sin.
15 Tani ta oothizayssa erike. Ta oothana koyzayssa ootha erike shin ta ixxiza miishsh oothays.
For what I do, I do not recognize as my own action. What I desire to do is not what I do, but what I am averse to is what I do.
16 Ta oothana koyontta miish oothiza gidikko wogay loo7o gididaysa ta marikatays.
But if I do that which I do not desire to do, I admit the excellence of the Law,
17 Hessa oothizay tana gidontta ta gaathan diza nagaray oothees.
and now it is no longer I that do these things, but the sin which has its home within me does them.
18 Tanan hesikka nagarancha gidida ta madhetetha gidon ayko loo7o miishshi baynidayssa ta erays. Loo7o oothanasi taas amotethi dees shin polla ootha erikke.
For I know that in me, that is, in my lower self, nothing good has its home; for while the will to do right is present with me, the power to carry it out is not.
19 Ta oothizay oothana gaada koyza loo7o ootho giden. Gido attin ta oothana koyontta iitta ootho oothays.
For what I do is not the good thing that I desire to do; but the evil thing that I desire not to do, is what I constantly do.
20 Tani oothanas koyonttayssa oothiza gidiko hessa oothizay tana gidontta ta gidon diza nagarakko.
But if I do that which I desire not to do, it can no longer be said that it is I who do it, but the sin which has its home within me does it.
21 Hessa gishshi haysi wogay oothon dizaysi taas gellides. Hessikka tani loo7o oothana koyaysishin tani iitta oothays.
I find therefore the law of my nature to be that when I desire to do what is right, evil is lying in ambush for me.
22 Tani ta gaathara Xoossa wogan ufa7istays.
For in my inmost self all my sympathy is with the Law of God;
23 Gido attin ta asatetha gidon oothiza nagara wogay tana qachi oykidi ta qofa wogara oletiza hara wogay ta asatetha gidon oothishin beyays.
but I discover within me a different Law at war with the Law of my understanding, and leading me captive to the Law which is everywhere at work in my body--the Law of sin.
24 Ta aymala laafa asee! Hayssa hayqosi imettida asatethafe tana ashanay oonee?
(Unhappy man that I am! who will rescue me from this death-burdened body?
25 Nu Goda Yesus Kiristoosa baggara galatay Xoossas gido. Histinkko tani ta baggara ta qofan Xoossa wogasi aylle gidashe tani Ta medhetetha wogan nagara wogas aylleko.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!) To sum up then, with my understanding, I--my true self--am in servitude to the Law of God, but with my lower nature I am in servitude to the Law of sin.
