Roomaa 1
1 Phaawulos tajaajilaa Kiristoos Yesuus, kan ergamaa taʼuuf waamamee fi akka wangeela Waaqaa lallabuuf addaan baafame irraa:
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated unto the glad-message of God—
2 Wangeelli kunis kan Waaqni duraan dursee karaa raajota isaatiin Katabbiiwwan Qulqulluu keessatti waadaa galee dha.
Which he promised beforehand, through his prophets, in holy scriptures—
3 Wangeelichis waaʼee ilma isaa kan akka namummaatti sanyii Daawit irraa dhalatee,
Concerning his Son, —who came to be of the seed of David, according to flesh,
4 akka Hafuura qulqullummaatti immoo warra duʼan keessaa kaʼuu isaatiin Ilma Waaqaa humna qabeessa taʼuun isaa labsamee dha; innis Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos.
Who was distinguished as the Son of God—by power, according to a Holy Spirit, through means of a resurrection of the dead, —Jesus Christ our Lord;
5 Nus karaa isaatiin, maqaa isaatiif jecha ormoota hunda keessaa akka gara ajajamuu amantii irraa dhufuutti namoota waamnuuf ayyaanaa fi ergamtummaa arganneerra.
Through whom we have received favour and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name,
6 Isinis warra akka kan Yesuus Kiristoos taʼaniif waamaman sana keessa jirtu.
Among whom are, ye also, called of Jesus Christ:
7 Warra Waaqaan jaallatamtanii qulqulloota taʼuuf waamamtan kanneen Roomaa jirtan hundaaf: Abbaa keenya Waaqaa fi Yesuus Kiristoos Gooftaa irraa ayyaannii fi nagaan isiniif haa taʼu.
Unto all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints, favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Sababii amantiin keessan guutummaa addunyaa irratti odeeffamaa jiruuf, ani duraan dursee waaʼee hunda keessaniitiif karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha.
First, indeed, I give thanks unto my God, through Jesus Christ, concerning you all, because your faith is being announced throughout the whole world.
9 Akka ani kadhannaa koo keessatti utuu wal irraa hin kutin isin yaadadhu Waaqni ani wangeela Ilma isaa lallabuudhaan hafuura kootiin isa tajaajilu sun dhuga baatuu koo ti;
For God is, my witness, —unto whom I am rendering divine service in my spirit, in the glad message of his Son, —how incessantly, I am making mention of you
10 ani akka ammas dhuma irratti gara keessan dhufuuf fedhii Waaqaatiin karaan naa banamu nan kadhadha.
At all times in my prayers, —making supplication—if, by some means, even now, at any time, I may have a way opened, in the will of God, to come unto you;
11 Akka isin jabaattaniifis kennaa hafuuraa isinii hiruuf isin arguu baayʼee nan hawwa;
For I am longing to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift unto you, to the end ye may be established, —
12 kunis akka isinii fi ani amantii keenyaan wal jajjabeessinuuf.
That is to say—there may be a mutual encouragement among you, each by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13 Yaa obboloota ko, ani akkuma Namoota Ormaa kaan keessatti ija qabaadhe sana isin keessattis akkasuma akkan qabaadhuuf yeroo baayʼee gara keessan dhufuu yaadaa turuu ko, garuu hamma ammaatti dhowwamuu koo akka isin beekuu dhabdan hin barbaadu.
I do not wish however that ye should be ignorant, brethren, that, many times, have I purposed to come unto you, but have been hindered, until the present, —in order that, some fruit, I might have among you also, even as among the other nations,
14 Ani namoota Giriikii fi warra nama Giriik hin taʼiniif, beektotaa fi wallaaltotaaf gatii of irraa nan qaba.
Both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to wise and to unwise, a debtor, I am:
15 Sababiin ani isin warra Roomaa jirtanittis wangeela lallabuuf akka malee hawwuuf kanuma.
Thus, the eagerness on my part—unto you also who are in Rome, to announce the joyful message.
16 Ani wangeelatti hin qaanaʼu; kunis sababii wangeelli humna Waaqaa kan warra amanan hunda fayyisu taʼeef; innis jalqabatti Yihuudootaaf, itti aansee immoo Giriikotaaf.
For I am not ashamed of the joyful message; for it is God’s power unto salvation, to every one that believeth, both to Jew [first] and to Greek;
17 Wangeela keessatti qajeelummaan Waaqaa amantii irraa gara amantiitti mulʼateeraatii; kunis akkuma, “Namni qajeelaan amantiidhaan jiraata” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
For, a righteousness of God, is therein revealed, —by faith unto faith: even as it is written—But, he that is righteous, by faith, shall live.
18 Dheekkamsi Waaqaa, Waaqa malee jiraachuu fi hammina namootaa hunda irratti samii irraa ni mulʼata; namoonni kunneen hammina isaaniitiin dhugaa ukkaamsu;
For there is being revealed an anger of God from heaven—against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who, the truth, in unrighteousness, do hold down; —
19 kunis sababii wanni waaʼee Waaqaa beekamuu malu isaaniif ifa taʼeef; Waaqni isaaniif ibseeraatii.
Inasmuch as, what may be known of God, is manifest among them, for, God, unto them, hath made it manifest, —
20 Amalli Waaqaa kan hin mulʼanne jechuunis humni isaa kan bara baraatii fi waaqummaan isaa uumama addunyaatii jalqabee wantoota uumaman irraa ifaan ifatti mulʼataatii; kanaafuu isaan waan itti qabatan hin qaban. (aïdios g126)
For, the unseen things of him, from a world’s creation, by the things made, being perceived, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and divinity, —to the end they should be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 Isaan yoo Waaqa beekan illee akka waaqummaa isaatti ulfina hin kennineef; galatas hin galchineef. Garuu yaadni isaanii waan faayidaa hin qabne taʼe; qalbiin isaanii kan hin hubannes ni dukkanaaʼe.
Inasmuch as, having come to know God, not, as God, did they glorify him, or give him thanks, but were made fruitless in their reasonings, and darkened was their undiscerning heart,
22 Isaan yoo ogeeyyii ofiin jedhan iyyuu gowwoota taʼan;
Professing to be wise, they were made foolish,
23 ulfina Waaqa hin duunees nama duʼutti, simbiratti, horii miilla afuriitti akkasumas uumamawwan lafa irra looʼanitti fakkeessuudhaan geeddaran.
And, exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God, for the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds and fourfooted beasts and reptiles:
24 Kanaafuu Waaqni akka isaan dhagna walii isaanii salphisaniif hawwii garaa isaanii hamaadhaan dabarsee xuraaʼummaatti isaan kenne.
Wherefore God gave them up in the covetings of their hearts unto impurity, so as to be dishonouring their bodies among them, —
25 Isaanis dhugaa Waaqaa sobatti geeddaran; Uumaa dhiisanii uumama waaqeffatan; ni tajaajilanis. Uumaan bara baraan eebbifamaa dha. Ameen. (aiōn g165)
Who, indeed, exchanged away the truth of God for the falsehood, and rendered worship and service unto the creature rather than unto the Creator, —who is blessed unto the ages. Amen! (aiōn g165)
26 Sababii kanaaf Waaqni dabarsee hawwii jibbisiisaatti isaan kenne. Dubartoonni isaaniis karaa ittiin fedhii fooniitiif dhiira wajjin wal bira gaʼan isa uumamaan kennameef dhiisanii, gara isa uumamaan isaaniif hin kennaminitti geeddaran.
For this cause, God gave them up unto dishonourable passions; for, even their females, exchanged away the natural use into that which is against nature, —
27 Warri dhiiraas akkasuma karaa ittiin fedhii fooniitiif dubartoota wajjin wal bira gaʼan isa uumamaan kennameef dhiisanii kajeellaa walii isaaniitiin gubatan. Warri dhiiraa, dhiira biraa wajjin gocha jibbisiisaa raawwatan; dogoggora isaanii kanaafis adaba isaaniif malu ofuma isaaniitiin fudhatan.
In like manner also, even the males, leaving the natural use of the female, flamed out in their eager desire one for another, males with males, the indecency, effecting, —and, the necessary recompence of their error, within themselves, duly receiving; —
28 Sababii isaan Waaqa beekuu akka waan faayidaa hin qabneetti fudhataniif, Waaqni immoo akka isaan waan hojjetamuu hin malle hojjetaniif qalbii faayidaa hin qabnetti dabarsee isaan kenne.
And, even as they did not approve to be holding, God, in acknowledgment, God gave them up unto a disapproved mind to be doing the things that are not becoming,
29 Isaanis hammina gosa hundaatiin, jalʼinaan, sassattummaan, amala baduun, hinaaffaan, nama ajjeesuun, wal loluun, gowwoomsuu fi dabaan guutaman. Isaan hamattoota,
Filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, baseness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil disposition,
30 warra maqaa nama balleessan, warra Waaqa jibban, warra nama arrabsan, warra of jajanii fi warra of tuulanii dha; isaan warra karaa ittiin jalʼina hojjetan yaadan, warra abbaa fi haadha isaaniitiif hin ajajamnee dha;
Whisperers, detractors, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, vain boasters, inventors of vices, unto parents unyielding,
31 isaan warra hubannaa hin qabne, warra walii galtee diigan, warra jaalala hin qabnee fi warra namaaf garaa hin laafnee dha.
Without discernment, regardless of covenants, without natural affection, unmerciful: —
32 Isaan seera Waaqaa kan, “Warra waan akkanaa hojjetan duʼuutu isaaniif mala” jedhu sana yoo beekan iyyuu ofii isaaniitiif waan akkanaa hojjechuu qofa utuu hin taʼin warra waan kana hojjetan iyyuu ni jajjabeessu.
Who, indeed, having acknowledged the righteous sentence of God, —that, they who such things as these do practise, are worthy of death, not only, the same things, are doing, but are even delighting together with them who are practising [them].
