Roomaa 3
1 Egaa Yihuudii taʼuun faayidaa maalii qaba? Yookaan buʼaan dhagna qabaa maalii?
What advantage then hath the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?
2 Karaa hundaanuu buʼaa guddaa qaba! Jalqabatti dubbiin Waaqaa Yihuudootatti imaanaa kenname.
Much every way. First indeed, because the words of God were committed to them.
3 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko yoo hin amanin maal ree? Amantii dhabuun isaanii amanamummaa Waaqaa ni balleessaa?
For what if some of them have not believed? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid.
4 Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Namoonni hundinuu sobdoota, Waaqni immoo dhugaa qabeessa haa taʼu. Kunis akkuma, “Akka ati dubbii keetiin dhuga qabeessa taatuuf, yommuu murtiitti dhiʼaattuttis akka moʼattuuf” jedhamee barreeffamee dha.
But God is true; and every man a liar, as it is written, That thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Yoo jalʼinni keenya qajeelina Waaqaa ifa baase garuu maal jenna ree? Waaqni dheekkamsa isaa nutti fiduun isaa qajeelina dhabeetii? Kanas ani akka namaattin dubbadha.
But if our injustice commend the justice of God, what shall we say? Is God unjust, who executeth wrath?
6 Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Utuu akkas taʼee silaa Waaqni akkamitti addunyaatti muruu dandaʼa ree?
(I speak according to man.) God forbid: otherwise how shall God judge this world?
7 Namni tokko, “Yoo soba kootiin dhuga qabeessummaan Waaqaa guddatee ulfinni isaas baayʼate maaliif hamma ammaatti akka cubbamaa tokkootti natti murama ree?” jedhee falma taʼa.
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner?
8 Kunis isa namoonni tokko tokko, “Isaan, ‘Akka wanni gaariin dhufuuf hammina haa hojjennu?’ jedhu” jedhanii nurratti odeessisanii dha. Murtiin isaanitti muramus waanuma maluu dha!
And not rather (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say) let us do evil, that there may come good? whose damnation is just.
9 Egaa maal jenna ree? Nu Yihuudoonni warra kaan caallaa? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Akka Yihuudoonnii fi Giriikonni hundinuu cubbuu jala jiran duraan dursinee mirkaneessineerraatii.
What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews, and Greeks, that they are all under sin.
10 Kunis kan akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Qajeelaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; namni tokko iyyuu;
As it is written: There is not any man just.
11 namni hubannaa qabu, kan Waaqa barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; walumatti warra faayidaa hin qabne taʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.”
All have turned out of the way; they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, there is not so much as one.
13 “Laagaan isaanii awwaala banamaa dha; arraba isaaniitiin ni gowwoomsu.” “Hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.”
Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have dealt deceitfully. The venom of asps is under their lips.
14 “Afaan isaanii abaarsaa fi hadhaaʼummaan guutame.”
Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 “Miilli isaanii dhiiga dhangalaasuutti ariifata;
Their feet swift to shed blood:
16 badiisaa fi gadadootu karaa isaanii irra jira;
Destruction and misery in their ways:
17 karaa nagaas hin beekan.”
And the way of peace they have not known:
18 “Waaqa sodaachuun ija isaanii dura hin jiru.”
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Akka afaan hundi cufamuu fi akka addunyaan hundinuu murtii Waaqaa jala galuuf, wanni seerri jedhu hundinuu akka warra seera jala jiraniif dubbatu ni beekna.
Now we know, that what things soever the law speaketh, it speaketh to them that are in the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be made subject to God.
20 Kanaafis eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa hin taʼu; seeratu cubbuu nu hubachiisaatii.
Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 Amma garuu qajeelummaan Waaqaan kennamu kan seeraan adda taʼe, kan Seerrii fi Raajonni dhugaa baʼaniif mulʼateera.
But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets.
22 Qajeelummaan Waaqaa kun amantiidhaan warra Yesuus Kiristoositti amanan hundaaf kennama; nama wal caalchisuun hin jiru;
Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction:
23 sababii hundi isaanii iyyuu cubbuu hojjetaniif isaan ulfina Waaqaa irraa citaniiruutii;
For all have sinned, and do need the glory of God.
24 isaanis ayyaana Waaqaa isa furama karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin toluma kennameefiin qajeeltota taasifamaniiru.
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ Jesus,
25 Dhiiga isaatti amantii qabaachuudhaanis akka inni aarsaa araaraa taʼuuf Waaqni isa dhiʼeesse. Waan kana gochuun isaas cubbuu kanaan dura hojjetame utuu hin adabin waan obsaan bira darbeef qajeelina isaa argisiisuuf jedhee ti;
Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins,
26 Waaqni yeroo ammaa qajeelummaa isaa argisiisuu fi akka nama Yesuusitti amanus qajeelaa taʼuu isaa labsuuf waan kana godhe.
Through the forbearance of God, for the shewing of his justice in this time; that he himself may be just, and the justifier of him, who is of the faith of Jesus Christ.
27 Yoos of tuuluun eessa jira ree? Inni hafeera. Seera kamiin? Seera eeguudhaan moo? Miti; seera amantiitiin malee.
Where is then thy boasting? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.
28 Nu akka namni seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantiidhaan qajeelaa taasifamu ni amannaatii.
For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law.
29 Waaqni Waaqa Yihuudootaa qofa moo? Inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaas mitii? Eeyyee, inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaatis;
Is he the God of the Jews only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also.
30 egaa kan dhagna qabates amantiin, kan dhagna hin qabatinis amantiidhuma sanaan qajeelaa kan taasisu Waaquma tokkicha.
For it is one God, that justifieth circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Yoos nu amantii kanaan seera sana cabsinaa ree? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Seericha ni cimsina malee.
Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.
