Roomaa 5
1 Kanaafuu amantiidhaan qajeeltota erga taasifamnee nu karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiin Waaqa wajjin nagaa qabna.
Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
2 Ayyaana amma jabaannee ittiin dhaabannu kanattis karaa isaatiin amantiin galuuf carraa arganneerra. Abdii ulfina Waaqaattis ni gammanna.
It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favor in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
3 Kana qofa miti; nu dhiphina keenyattis ni gammanna; akka dhiphinni obsa fidu ni beeknaatii;
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
4 obsi jabaatanii dhaabachuu, jabaatanii dhaabachuun immoo abdii fida.
for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
5 Jaalalli Waaqaa karaa Hafuura Qulqulluu nuu kennamee sanaatiin garaa keenya keessatti waan dhangalaafameef abdiin nu hin qaanessu.
and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
6 Utuu nu amma illee dadhabdoota taanee jirruu yeroo malutti Kiristoos cubbamootaaf jedhee duʼe.
seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
7 Yoo namni tokko nama gaariif duʼuuf ija jabaachuu dandaʼe iyyuu, namni nama qajeelaaf duʼu akka malee muraasa.
Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 Garuu utuma nu cubbamoota taanee jirruu Kiristoos nuuf jedhee duʼe; kunis jaalala Waaqni nuuf qabu argisiisa.
But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
9 Egaa nu amma erga dhiiga isaatiin qajeeltota taasifamnee, akkam karuma isaatiin dheekkamsa Waaqaa jalaa hin baane ree!
Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 Nu utuu diinota Waaqaa taanee jirruu erga duʼa ilma isaatiin isatti araaramnee, erga isatti araaramnee booddee immoo hammam caalaa jireenya isaatiin hin fayyinu ree!
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
11 Kana qofa miti; nu garuu Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoos isa ittiin amma araara arganne sanaan Waaqatti ni gammanna.
And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
12 Kanaaf akkuma cubbuun karaa nama tokkootiin addunyaa seene, duuti immoo karaa cubbuutiin seene; sababii namni hundinuu cubbuu hojjeteefis duuti nama hundatti dhufe.
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
13 Utuu seerri hin kennaminiin dura iyyuu cubbuun addunyaa keessa tureetii; yeroo seerri hin jirretti garuu cubbuun hin lakkaaʼamu.
Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
14 Taʼus duuti bara Addaam irraa jalqabee hamma bara Museetti warra dogoggora akka Addaam hin hojjetin irratti illee moʼee ture; Addaamis Isa dhufuuf jiru sanaaf fakkeenya ture.
Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
15 Kennaan tolaa sun garuu akka balleessaa sanaa miti. Erga sababii balleessaa nama tokkootiin namoonni baayʼeen duʼanii, ayyaanni Waaqaatii fi kennaan karaa ayyaana nama tokkootiin jechuunis kennaan karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin dhufe sun immoo hammam caalaa namootaaf haa baayʼatu ree!
But there is a contrast between Adam’s offense and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offense of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
16 Kennaan Waaqaa miidhaa cubbuun namni tokko hojjete fiduun tokko miti: Murtiin cubbuu tokkichaaf kenname yakkamtummaa fideera; kennaan tolaa kan balleessaa baayʼee irratti kenname garuu qajeelummaa fide.
There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offenses, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
17 Erga sababii balleessaa nama tokkootiin karaa namicha sanaatiin duuti moʼee, warri ayyaana baayʼatee irraa hafaa taʼee fi kennaa qajeeltota nama taasisu argatan immoo karaa nama tokkoo karaa Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin hammam caalaa jireenyaan hin moʼan ree!
For if, by reason of the offense of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Kanaafuu akkuma balleessaan tokko nama hundatti yakka mursiise, akkasuma immoo hojiin qajeelummaa tokko nama hundaaf qajeelummaa jireenya fidu taʼe.
Briefly then, just as a single offense resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
19 Akkuma ajajamuu diduu nama tokkootiin namoonni baayʼeen cubbamoota taʼan, akkasuma immoo ajajamuu nama tokkootiin namoonni baayʼeen qajeeltota ni taasifamu.
For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
20 Seerris akka cubbuun baayʼatuuf dhufe. Lafa cubbuun baayʼatetti garuu ayyaanni akka malee baayʼate;
Law was introduced in order that offenses might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
21 kunis akkuma cubbuun karaa duʼaatiin moʼe sana ayyaannis karaa Gooftaa keenya Yesuus Kiristoosiitiin akka jireenya bara baraa fiduuf karaa qajeelinaatiin akka moʼuuf. (aiōnios g166)
in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
