< Roomaa 2 >
1 Kanaafuu yaa namichoo, ati yoo abbaa fedhe illee taate kan nama kaanitti murtu waan itti qabattu hin qabdu; waan ittiin namatti murtu hundaan ofittis ni murtaatii; ati kan murtii kennitu iyyuu ofii keetiis isuma hojjettaatii.
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, every one judging. For in whatsoever thou art judging another, thou art condemning thyself; for thou judging art doing the same things.
2 Nu akka murtiin Waaqaa kan warra waan akkanaa hojjetan irratti murteeffamu dhugaa irratti hundaaʼe ni beekna.
For we know that the judgment of God according to truth is against those doing such things.
3 Yaa namichoo, ati yommuu warra waan akkanaa hojjetanitti murtee ofii keetii immoo waanuma akkasii hojjettu waan murtii Waaqaa jalaa baatu seetaa?
But do you consider this, O man, judging those doing such things, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God?
4 Yookaan ati akka gara laafummaan Waaqaa gara qalbii jijjiirrannaatti si geessu utuu hin beekin baayʼina gara laafummaa isaa, gara balʼina isaatii fi obsa isaa ni tuffattaa?
Do you look with contempt upon the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God is leading you to repentance?
5 Ati garuu sababii mata jabina keetiitii fi garaa kee isa qalbii hin jijjiirranne sanaatiif guyyaa dheekkamsa Waaqaa kan murtiin qajeelaan itti mulʼatu sanaaf dheekkamsa of irratti kuusaa jirta.
But according to thy hardness and thy impenitent heart, thou art treasuring up to thyself wrath against the day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Waaqni, “Nama hundaaf akkuma hojii isaatti gatii isaa ni kenna.”
who will give to each one according to his works:
7 Inni warra obsaan waan gaarii hojjechaa kabaja, ulfinaa fi jireenya hin dabarre barbaadaniif jireenya bara baraa ni kenna. (aiōnios )
to those indeed who with patience of good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (aiōnios )
8 Warra ofittoo kanneen dhugaadhaaf ajajamuu didanii hammina duukaa buʼan garuu dheekkamsaa fi aariitu isaan eeggata.
but to those who are of self-seeking, and disobedient to the truth, but obedient to unrighteousness, there are indignation and wrath.
9 Nama hammina hojjetu hunda irratti, jalqabatti Yihuudii irratti, ergasii immoo Nama Ormaa irratti dhiphinnii fi rakkinni ni dhufa.
Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that is working out evil, both the Jew first, and the Greek;
10 Garuu nama waan gaarii hojjetu hundaaf, jalqabatti Yihuudiif, ergasii immoo Nama Ormaatiif kabajni, ulfinnii fi nagaan ni taʼa.
but glory and honor and peace to every one doing good; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Waaqni nama wal hin caalchisuutii.
For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 Warri utuu seera hin qabaatin cubbuu hojjetan hundinuu seera malee barbadaaʼu; warra utuu seera qabanuu cubbuu hojjetan hundattis seeruma sanaan murama.
For so many as sinned without law will also perish without law; and so many as sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;
13 Sababiin isaas warra seeraaf ajajamanitu fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeeltota taasifama malee warri seera dhagaʼan qajeeltota miti.
for the hearers of the law are not righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 Namoonni Ormaa warri seera hin qabne yoo uumamaan waan seerri ajaju hojjetan, yoo seera qabaachuu baatan illee isaan ofii isaaniitiifuu seera.
For when the Gentiles, not having the law, may by nature do the things of the law, they, not having the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Isaan waan qalbiin isaanii dhugaa baʼuuf, waan yaadni isaaniis yeroo tokko isaan himatee yeroo kaan immoo isaaniif falmuuf, akka ajajni seeraa garaa isaanii keessatti barreeffame ni argisiisu.
who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing, and their thoughts accusing or indeed excusing with one another,
16 Akka wangeela ani lallabuutti wanni kun gaafa Waaqni icciitii namootaa karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiin murtii itti kennutti taʼa.
in the day when God will judge the secrets of men through my gospel according to Jesus Christ.
17 Ati yoo Yihuudii ofiin jette, yoo seera amanatte, yoo kan Waaqaanis of jajju taate,
But if you are denominated a Jew, and rest in the law, and boast in God,
18 yoo fedhii isaa beekte, yoo seera sanaanis qajeelfamtee waan hunda caalu mirkaneeffatte,
and know his will, and approve the things which are excellent, being taught by the law;
19 warra iji isaanii jaameef dura deemaa, warra dukkana keessa jiraniif immoo ifa taʼuu kee yoo amante,
and persuade yourself that you are a guide of the blind, a light of those who are in darkness, an instructor of the ignorant,
20 karaa seeraatiinis beekumsaa fi dhugaa qabduun yoo wallaaltota gorsite, daaʼimmanis yoo barsiifte,
a teacher of the juveniles, having a form of knowledge and truth in the law;
21 egaa ati kan warra kaan barsiiftu, ofii kee immoo hin barsiiftuu? Kan “Hin hatin” jettee barsiiftu ofii keetii immoo ni hattaa?
therefore do not you who teach another teach yourself? do you, who preach not to steal, steal?
22 Ati kan, “Namni ejjuu hin qabu” jettu ofii keetii ni ejjitaa? Kan waaqota tolfamoo akka malee jibbitu mana qulqullummaa ni saamtaa?
do you, who say not to commit adultery, commit adultery? do you, who abominate idolatry, rob temples?
23 Ati kan Seeraan of jajju seera cabsuudhaan Waaqa ni salphiftaa?
do you, who boast in the law, through the transgression of the law dishonor God?
24 “Sababii keessaniif maqaan Waaqaa Namoota Ormaa gidduutti arrabsama” jedhamee barreeffameeraatii.
For the name of God is blasphemed by you among the Gentiles, as has been written.
25 Yoo ati seera eegde dhagna qabaan faayidaa qaba; yoo seera cabsite garuu akka waan dhagna hin qabatinii taateerta.
For circumcision indeed profits, if you do the law: but if you be a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
26 Warri dhagna hin qabatin yoo waan seerri ajaju eegan, akka waan dhagna qabataniitti hin ilaalamanii ree?
Then if uncircumcision may keep the righteousness of the law, will not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 Namni utuu fooniin dhagna hin qabatin seera eegu tokko si nama seera barreeffame qabaattee dhagnas qabattee seera cabsitutti ni mura.
and that which is uncircumcision by nature, perfecting the law, will judge you, who through the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.
28 Namni waan alaan mulʼatu qofaan Yihuudii hin taʼu; dhagna qabachuunis waan alaan mulʼatu qofa miti.
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is outwardly in the flesh.
29 Garuu nama keessa namummaa isaatiin Yihuudii taʼetu Yihuudii dha; dhagna qabaanis dhagna qabaa yaada garaa kan Hafuuraan taʼuudha malee seera barreeffameen miti. Namni akkasii Waaqa biratti malee nama biratti hin jajamu.
But he is a Jew, who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
