< 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 you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
2 Nu akka murtiin Waaqaa kan warra waan akkanaa hojjetan irratti murteeffamu dhugaa irratti hundaaʼe ni beekna.
We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
3 Yaa namichoo, ati yommuu warra waan akkanaa hojjetanitti murtee ofii keetii immoo waanuma akkasii hojjettu waan murtii Waaqaa jalaa baatu seetaa?
Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will 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?
Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads 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 your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
6 Waaqni, “Nama hundaaf akkuma hojii isaatti gatii isaa ni kenna.”
who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
7 Inni warra obsaan waan gaarii hojjechaa kabaja, ulfinaa fi jireenya hin dabarre barbaadaniif jireenya bara baraa ni kenna. (aiōnios )
to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios )
8 Warra ofittoo kanneen dhugaadhaaf ajajamuu didanii hammina duukaa buʼan garuu dheekkamsaa fi aariitu isaan eeggata.
but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
9 Nama hammina hojjetu hunda irratti, jalqabatti Yihuudii irratti, ergasii immoo Nama Ormaa irratti dhiphinnii fi rakkinni ni dhufa.
oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
10 Garuu nama waan gaarii hojjetu hundaaf, jalqabatti Yihuudiif, ergasii immoo Nama Ormaatiif kabajni, ulfinnii fi nagaan ni taʼa.
But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
11 Waaqni nama wal hin caalchisuutii.
For there is no partiality 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 as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
13 Sababiin isaas warra seeraaf ajajamanitu fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeeltota taasifama malee warri seera dhagaʼan qajeeltota miti.
For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will 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 Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to 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.
in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
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, according to my Good News, by Yeshua the Messiah.
17 Ati yoo Yihuudii ofiin jette, yoo seera amanatte, yoo kan Waaqaanis of jajju taate,
Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
18 yoo fedhii isaa beekte, yoo seera sanaanis qajeelfamtee waan hunda caalu mirkaneeffatte,
know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
19 warra iji isaanii jaameef dura deemaa, warra dukkana keessa jiraniif immoo ifa taʼuu kee yoo amante,
and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
20 karaa seeraatiinis beekumsaa fi dhugaa qabduun yoo wallaaltota gorsite, daaʼimmanis yoo barsiifte,
a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
21 egaa ati kan warra kaan barsiiftu, ofii kee immoo hin barsiiftuu? Kan “Hin hatin” jettee barsiiftu ofii keetii immoo ni hattaa?
You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who proclaim that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
22 Ati kan, “Namni ejjuu hin qabu” jettu ofii keetii ni ejjitaa? Kan waaqota tolfamoo akka malee jibbitu mana qulqullummaa ni saamtaa?
You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
23 Ati kan Seeraan of jajju seera cabsuudhaan Waaqa ni salphiftaa?
You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
24 “Sababii keessaniif maqaan Waaqaa Namoota Ormaa gidduutti arrabsama” jedhamee barreeffameeraatii.
For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is 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 are a doer of the law, but if you are 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?
If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
27 Namni utuu fooniin dhagna hin qabatin seera eegu tokko si nama seera barreeffame qabaattee dhagnas qabattee seera cabsitutti ni mura.
Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with 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 that circumcision which is outward 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 from men, but from God.
