Roomaa 10

1 Yaa obboloota, hawwiin garaa kootii fi wanni ani Israaʼelootaaf Waaqa kadhadhu akka isaan fayyaniif.

Brothers, my heart's desire and my prayer to God is for them, that they may be saved.

2 Ani akka isaan Waaqaaf hinaaffaa qaban dhugaa nan baʼa; hinaaffaan isaanii garuu kan beekumsa irratti hundeeffame miti.

For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

3 Isaan waan qajeelummaa Waaqa biraa dhufu hin beekinii fi waan qajeelummaa ofii isaanii uumachuu barbaadaniif qajeelummaa Waaqaatiif hin bulle.

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

4 Akka namni amanu hundinuu qajeelummaa argatuuf Kiristoos raawwii seeraatii.

For Messiah is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

5 Museen waaʼee qajeelummaa seeraan argamuu, “Namni waan seerri ajaju godhu ittiin jiraata” jedhee waan kana barreesseeraatii.

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law, "The one who does them will live by them."

6 Qajeelummaan amantiidhaan argamu garuu akkana jedha; “Ati garaa kee keessatti, ‘Eenyutu gara samiitti ol baʼa?’ hin jedhin;” Kun Kiristoosin gad buusuuf;

But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will go up into heaven?' (that is, to bring Messiah down);

7 “Yookaan, ‘Eenyutu qileetti gad buʼa?’ hin jedhin;” kun Kiristoosin warra duʼan keessaa ol baasuuf. (Abyssos g12)

or, 'Who will go down into the deep?' (that is, to bring Messiah up from the dead.)" (Abyssos g12)

8 Inni garuu maal jedha? “Dubbichi si bira jira; afaan keetii fi garaa kee keessa jira;” innis dubbii amantii isa nu lallabnuu dha;

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart;" that is, the message of faith that we proclaim;

9 kunis yoo ati, “Yesuus Gooftaa dha” jettee afaan keetiin dhugaa baatee akka Waaqni warra duʼan keessaa isa kaase garaa keetti amante, ati ni fayyita.

because, if you acknowledge with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 Namni garaa isaatiin amanee qajeelaa taasifamaatii; afaan isaatiinis dhugaa baʼee fayya.

For with the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth acknowledgment is made, resulting in salvation.

11 Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Namni isatti amanu kam iyyuu gonkumaa hin qaanaʼu” jedhaatii.

For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

12 Yihuudii fi Giriikii gidduu garaa garummaan hin jiruutii; Gooftuma tokkicha sanatu Gooftaa hundaa ti; innis warra isa waammatan hunda eebba isaatiin badhaasa.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on him.

13 “Namni maqaa Gooftaa waammatu hundinuu ni fayyaatii.”

For, "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved."

14 Yoos isaan akkamitti isa itti hin amanin waammachuu dandaʼu ree? Isa waaʼee isaa hin dhagaʼinittis akkamitti amanuu dandaʼu ree? Utuu namni isaanitti hin lallabinis akkamitti dhagaʼuu dandaʼu ree?

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone preaching?

15 Isaanis utuu hin ergamin akkamitti lallabuu dandaʼu? Kunis isa, “Miilli warra wangeela fidanii akkam miidhagaa dha!” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.

And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of peace, who bring good news of good things."

16 Oduu gaarii sanas kan fudhate Israaʼeloota hunda miti. Isaayyaas, “Yaa Gooftaa, ergaa keenya eenyutu amane?” jedhaatii.

But they did not all listen to the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"

17 Egaa amantiin ergaa dhagaʼuudhaan dhufa; ergaan kunis karaa dubbii waaʼee Kiristoosiin dhagaʼama.

So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Messiah.

18 Ani garuu: Isaan hin dhageenye moo? jedhee nan gaafadha; dhugumaanuu isaan dhagaʼaniiru: “Sagaleen isaanii lafa hunda, dubbiin isaaniis handaara addunyaa gaʼe.”

But I ask, isn't it rather that they did not hear? On the contrary, "Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest parts of the world."

19 Ammas ani: Israaʼel hin hubanne moo? jedheen gaafadha. Museen duraan dursee, “Ani warra saba hin taʼiniin akka isin hinaaftan nan godha; saba hubannaa hin qabneenis isin nan aarsaa” jedha.

But I ask, did not Israel know? First Moses says, "I will provoke you to jealousy with that which is not a people. I will make you angry with a foolish nation."

20 Isaayyaasis ija jabinaan, “Warri na hin barbaadin na argatan; warra na hin iyyaafatinittis nan mulʼadhe” jedha.

Isaiah is very bold, and says, "I was found by those who did not seek me. I was revealed to those who did not ask for me."

21 Waaʼee Israaʼel garuu, “Ani guyyaa guutuu gara uummata hin ajajamnee fi didaa taʼeetti harka koo nan diriirfadhe” jedha.

But as to Israel he says, "All day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and obstinate people."
