Roomaa 3
1 Egaa Yihuudii taʼuun faayidaa maalii qaba? Yookaan buʼaan dhagna qabaa maalii?
What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the benefit of the circumcision?
2 Karaa hundaanuu buʼaa guddaa qaba! Jalqabatti dubbiin Waaqaa Yihuudootatti imaanaa kenname.
Much in every way; Chiefly indeed for for they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
3 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko yoo hin amanin maal ree? Amantii dhabuun isaanii amanamummaa Waaqaa ni balleessaa?
What for if disbelieved some? Surely not the unbelief of them the faithfulness of God will nullify?
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.
Never would it be! should it be however God true, every now man a liar (even as *NK(o)*) it has been written: That then You may be justified in the words of You and (will prevail *N(k)O*) in judging You.
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.
If however the unrighteousness of us God’s righteousness shows, what will we say? Surely not [is] unrighteous God who is inflicting the wrath? According to man I speak;
6 Gonkumaa hin taʼu! Utuu akkas taʼee silaa Waaqni akkamitti addunyaatti muruu dandaʼa ree?
Never would it be! Otherwise how will judge God the 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.
If (however *N(k)O*) the truth of God in my lie abounded to the glory of Him, why still also I myself also I myself as a sinner am judged?
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 surely even as we are denigrated and even as affirm some [that] we to say that Let us do the [things] evil that may come the good things? Their condemnation just is.
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? Are we better? Not at all; We have already charged for Jews both and Greeks all under sin to be
10 Kunis kan akkana jedhamee barreeffamee dha: “Qajeelaan tokko iyyuu hin jiru; namni tokko iyyuu;
Even as it has been written that None there is righteous not even one;
11 namni hubannaa qabu, kan Waaqa barbaadu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
none there is who is understanding, none there is who is seeking after God;
12 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; walumatti warra faayidaa hin qabne taʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.”
All turned away, together they became worthless; none there is (who *n*) is practicing good, not there is so much as one.
13 “Laagaan isaanii awwaala banamaa dha; arraba isaaniitiin ni gowwoomsu.” “Hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.”
A grave opened [is] the throat of them, with the tongues of them they were practicing deceit; [the] venom of vipers [is] under the lips of them;
14 “Afaan isaanii abaarsaa fi hadhaaʼummaan guutame.”
of whom the mouth of cursing and of bitterness is full.
15 “Miilli isaanii dhiiga dhangalaasuutti ariifata;
swift [are] the feet of them to shed blood;
16 badiisaa fi gadadootu karaa isaanii irra jira;
ruin and misery [are] in the paths of them;
17 karaa nagaas hin beekan.”
and [the] way of peace not they have known.
18 “Waaqa sodaachuun ija isaanii dura hin jiru.”
Not there is fear of God before the eyes of them.
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.
We know now that as much as the law says to those under the law it speaks, so that every mouth may be stopped, and under judgment may be all the world to God.
20 Kanaafis eenyu iyyuu seera eeguudhaan fuula Waaqaa duratti qajeelaa hin taʼu; seeratu cubbuu nu hubachiisaatii.
Therefore by works of [the] Law not will be justified any flesh before Him; through for [the] Law [is] knowledge of sin.
21 Amma garuu qajeelummaan Waaqaan kennamu kan seeraan adda taʼe, kan Seerrii fi Raajonni dhugaa baʼaniif mulʼateera.
Now however apart from law [the] righteousness of God has been revealed being borne witness to by the Law and the Prophets,
22 Qajeelummaan Waaqaa kun amantiidhaan warra Yesuus Kiristoositti amanan hundaaf kennama; nama wal caalchisuun hin jiru;
[the] righteousness now of God through faith from Jesus Christ toward all (and upon all *K*) those believing; Not for there is distinction.
23 sababii hundi isaanii iyyuu cubbuu hojjetaniif isaan ulfina Waaqaa irraa citaniiruutii;
All for have sinned and they fall short of the glory of God
24 isaanis ayyaana Waaqaa isa furama karaa Kiristoos Yesuusiin toluma kennameefiin qajeeltota taasifamaniiru.
being justified freely by the of Him 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 set forth as God a propitiation through faith in His blood for a showing forth of the righteousness of Him because of the forbearance of the having taken place beforehand sins —
26 Waaqni yeroo ammaa qajeelummaa isaa argisiisuu fi akka nama Yesuusitti amanus qajeelaa taʼuu isaa labsuuf waan kana godhe.
in the forbearance of God; for (of the *no*) showing forth the righteousness of Him in the present time for to be Him just and justifying the [one] of faith of Jesus.
27 Yoos of tuuluun eessa jira ree? Inni hafeera. Seera kamiin? Seera eeguudhaan moo? Miti; seera amantiitiin malee.
Where then [is] the boasting? It has been excluded. Through what principle? That of works? No, but through [the] principle of faith.
28 Nu akka namni seera eeguudhaan utuu hin taʼin amantiidhaan qajeelaa taasifamu ni amannaatii.
We reckon (therefore *N(k)O*) to be justified by faith a man apart from works of the Law.
29 Waaqni Waaqa Yihuudootaa qofa moo? Inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaas mitii? Eeyyee, inni Waaqa Namoota Ormaatis;
Or of Jews [is He] the God only, surely [is] (now *k*) also of Gentiles? Yes also of Gentiles,
30 egaa kan dhagna qabates amantiin, kan dhagna hin qabatinis amantiidhuma sanaan qajeelaa kan taasisu Waaquma tokkicha.
(if indeed if indeed *N(k)O*) One God [is] who will justify [the] circumcision by faith and [the] uncircumcision through the [same] faith.
31 Yoos nu amantii kanaan seera sana cabsinaa ree? Gonkumaa akkas miti! Seericha ni cimsina malee.
Law then do we nullify through faith? Never would it be! Instead law we uphold.
