Roome 2
1 Hessa gisho, neno harata bolla pirddeysso, neeni gaasoyiyabay baawa. Neeni harata bolla pirddashe, he neeni pirddiya uraa mela oothiko, nee, ne bolla pirddaasa.
You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds;
2 Hessa mela ooso ootheyssata bolla Xoossay xillo pirddaa pirddeyssa nu eroos.
and we know that God's judgement against those who commit such sins is in accordance with the truth.
3 Neno, hessa mela ooso ootheyssata bolla pirddeysso, entti ootheyssa mela ootheysso, neeni Xoossaa pirddaafe attanabaa daanii?
And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs--do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges?
4 Woykko Xoossaa keehatethaa, genccaanne dandda7a darotethaa kadhayye? Xoossay new keehiday nena nagaraappe zaaranaw gideyssa erikkiyye?
Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance?
5 Shin hinttew shuchcha wozaninne si7onna haythi de7ees. Hessa gisho, Xoossaa hanqoynne xillo pirdday qoncciya gallas, ne bolla pirdday darana mela oothaasa.
The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed.
6 Xoossay issuwas issuwas iya oosuwa mela immana.
To each man He will make an award corresponding to his actions;
7 Lo77o ooson minnidi, galataa, bonchchonne dhayonna de7uwa koyeyssatas Xoossay merinaa de7uwa immana. (aiōnios g166)
to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages; (aiōnios g166)
8 Shin banttana siiqeyssata, tumaa ixxeyssatanne iitabaa oothanaw koyeyssata bolla Xoossaa hanqoynne pirdday yaana.
while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress,
9 Iitabaa oothiya asay ubbaa, koyrottidi Ayhudeta, kaallidi Ayhude gidonna asaa metoynne waayey gakkana.
coming upon the soul of every man and woman who deliberately does wrong--upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile;
10 Shin Xoossay lo77o ooso oothiya ubbaas, koyrottidi Ayhudetas, kaallidi Ayhude gidonnayssatas galataa, bonchchonne sarotethaa immana.
whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right--to the Jew first and then to the Gentile.
11 Xoossay som77o be7idi ase shaakkenna.
For God pays no attention to this world's distinctions.
12 Higgey baynna nagara oothida ubbay higgey baynna dhayana. Higgey de7ishin, nagara oothida ubbay higgen pirddettana.
For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law.
13 Xoossaa sinthan xilleyssati higge naageyssatappe attin higge sissa xalaala si7eyssata gidokkona.
It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous.
14 Higgey baynna Ayhude gidonna asay medhon higgey kiitteyssa oothoosona. Enttaw xaafettida higgey baynna ixxikokka entti bantta wozanan higgiya eroosona.
For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they, without having a Law, are a Law to themselves;
15 Entta hanotay, higge kiitay entta wozanan xaafettidayssa bessees. Qassi entta kahay entta bolla markkattees. Entta qofay issi issi toho enttana bala gees; issi issi toho enttana likke gees.
since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence--
16 Ta tamaarssida Wonggelaa mela Xoossay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara asa wozanan geemmida qofaa pirddiya wode hessi erettana.
on the day when God will judge the secrets of men's lives by Jesus Christ, as declared in the Good News as I have taught it.
17 Shin ne nena Ayhude gaasa; higgen zemppaasa; Xoossan ceeqaasa.
And since you claim the name of Jew, and find rest and satisfaction in the Law, and make your boast in God,
18 Ne oothana mela Xoossay koyabay aybeekko eraasa. Higgiya tamaarida gisho, tuma gidiyabaa dooranaw eraasa.
and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ--being a man who receives instruction from the Law--
19 Neeni qooqeta kaaletheyssa, qassi dhuman de7eyssatas poo7o gideyssa shaakka eraasa.
and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 Neeni higgiyafe demmida eratethaaninne tumatethan eeyata eriseyssanne yoogata tamaarsseyssa gideyssa eraasa.
a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth:
21 Yaatin, ne harata tamaarsseyssi ne nena ays tamaarssikii? Neeni, “Kaysotoppa” gashe, neeni ne huu7en kaysotayye?
you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief?
22 Neeni, “Laammofa” gashe, neeni ne huu7en laammayye? Neeni eeqa ixxashe, eeqay de7iya keethaa bonqayye?
You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples?
23 Neeni Xoossaa higgiyan ceeqettasa, shin higgiyas kiitettonna ixxada Xoossaa yeellayay?
You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God?
24 Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Hintte gaason Xoossaa sunthay Ayhude gidonna asatan cayettees” geetettidi xaafettis.
For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you, as Holy Writ declares.
25 Ne higges kiitettiko, ne qaxxaros maadey de7ees, shin neeni higgiyas kiitettonna ixxiko ne qaxxaretethay qaxxarettiboonna mela gidees.
Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing.
26 Ayhude gidonna asi qaxxarettonna de7ishe, higgiyas kiitettiko, Xoossay iya qaxxarettida mela taybenne?
In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and,
27 Hintte, Ayhude asati, hinttew xaafettida higgeynne qaxxaroy de7ishin, hintte higges kiitettonna ixxiko, Ayhude gidonna asay qaxxarettonna ixxikokka higges kiitettidi, hintte bolla pirddana.
although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker?
28 Hiza, sunthan Ayhude gidida ubbay tuma Ayhude gidenna. Qassi kare asatethaa qaxxaroy tuma qaxxaro gidenna.
For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily.
29 Shin tuma Ayhudetethi gaatha baggan Ayhude gideyssa. Tuma qaxxaretethi Xoossaa Ayyaanan oosettiya wozanaa qaxxaretethafe attin xaafettida higgiyan oosettiya asatetha qaxxaro gidenna. He uray galataa Xoossafe ekkeesippe attin asappe gidenna.
But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God.
