Roomaa 10
1 Yaa obboloota, hawwiin garaa kootii fi wanni ani Israaʼelootaaf Waaqa kadhadhu akka isaan fayyaniif.
Brothers, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God is that Israel may be saved.
2 Ani akka isaan Waaqaaf hinaaffaa qaban dhugaa nan baʼa; hinaaffaan isaanii garuu kan beekumsa irratti hundeeffame miti.
I can testify 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 they do not understand the righteousness of God, and by seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to God's righteousness.
4 Akka namni amanu hundinuu qajeelummaa argatuuf Kiristoos raawwii seeraatii.
For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Museen waaʼee qajeelummaa seeraan argamuu, “Namni waan seerri ajaju godhu ittiin jiraata” jedhee waan kana barreesseeraatii.
Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things 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 that is by faith speaks like this: “Do not say in yoʋr heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ 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 abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ 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 yoʋ, in yoʋr mouth and in yoʋr heart” (that is, the word of faith that we preach),
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 yoʋ confess with yoʋr mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe with yoʋr heart that God raised him from the dead, yoʋ will be saved.
10 Namni garaa isaatiin amanee qajeelaa taasifamaatii; afaan isaatiinis dhugaa baʼee fayya.
For with the heart belief is exercised, resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made, resulting in salvation.
11 Katabbiin Qulqulluun, “Namni isatti amanu kam iyyuu gonkumaa hin qaanaʼu” jedhaatii.
As the Scripture says, “No one who believes in him will 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; the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call upon him.
13 “Namni maqaa Gooftaa waammatu hundinuu ni fayyaatii.”
For “everyone who calls upon 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 upon him in whom they have not believed? And 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 preach the gospel of peace, who preach good news of good things!”
16 Oduu gaarii sanas kan fudhate Israaʼeloota hunda miti. Isaayyaas, “Yaa Gooftaa, ergaa keenya eenyutu amane?” jedhaatii.
But not all the Israelites have obeyed 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 then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes through the word of God.
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, have they not heard? On the contrary, “The message has gone out into all the earth, and the words to the ends 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.
Again I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will provoke you to jealousy by that which is not a nation; by a nation that has no understanding I will provoke you to anger.”
20 Isaayyaasis ija jabinaan, “Warri na hin barbaadin na argatan; warra na hin iyyaafatinittis nan mulʼadhe” jedha.
And Isaiah is even bold enough to say, “I was found by those who were not seeking me; I became known to those who were not asking for me.”
21 Waaʼee Israaʼel garuu, “Ani guyyaa guutuu gara uummata hin ajajamnee fi didaa taʼeetti harka koo nan diriirfadhe” jedha.
But to Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”
