Roome 2

1 Hessa gisho, neno harata bolla pirddeysso, neeni gaasoyiyabay baawa. Neeni harata bolla pirddashe, he neeni pirddiya uraa mela oothiko, nee, ne bolla pirddaasa.

Therefore you are without excuse, you person, you who judge, for what you judge in another you condemn in yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.

2 Hessa mela ooso ootheyssata bolla Xoossay xillo pirddaa pirddeyssa nu eroos.

But we know that God's judgment is according to truth when it falls on those who practice such things.

3 Neno, hessa mela ooso ootheyssata bolla pirddeysso, entti ootheyssa mela ootheysso, neeni Xoossaa pirddaafe attanabaa daanii?

But consider this, you person, you who judge those who practice such things although you do the same things. Will you escape from the judgment of God?

4 Woykko Xoossaa keehatethaa, genccaanne dandda7a darotethaa kadhayye? Xoossay new keehiday nena nagaraappe zaaranaw gideyssa erikkiyye?

Or do you think so little of the riches of his goodness, his delayed punishment, and his patience? Do you not know that his goodness is meant to lead you to repentance?

5 Shin hinttew shuchcha wozaninne si7onna haythi de7ees. Hessa gisho, Xoossaa hanqoynne xillo pirdday qoncciya gallas, ne bolla pirdday darana mela oothaasa.

But it is to the extent of your hardness and unrepentant heart that you are storing up for yourself wrath on the day of wrath, that is, the day of the revelation of God's righteous judgment.

6 Xoossay issuwas issuwas iya oosuwa mela immana.

He will pay back to every person according to his actions:

7 Lo77o ooson minnidi, galataa, bonchchonne dhayonna de7uwa koyeyssatas Xoossay merinaa de7uwa immana. (aiōnios g166)

to those who according to consistent, good actions have sought praise, honor, and incorruptibility, he will give eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

8 Shin banttana siiqeyssata, tumaa ixxeyssatanne iitabaa oothanaw koyeyssata bolla Xoossaa hanqoynne pirdday yaana.

But to those who are self-seeking, who disobey the truth but obey unrighteousness, wrath and fierce anger will come.

9 Iitabaa oothiya asay ubbaa, koyrottidi Ayhudeta, kaallidi Ayhude gidonna asaa metoynne waayey gakkana.

God will bring tribulation and distress on every human soul that has practiced evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

10 Shin Xoossay lo77o ooso oothiya ubbaas, koyrottidi Ayhudetas, kaallidi Ayhude gidonnayssatas galataa, bonchchonne sarotethaa immana.

But praise, honor, and peace will come to everyone who practices good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

11 Xoossay som77o be7idi ase shaakkenna.

For there is no favoritism with God.

12 Higgey baynna nagara oothida ubbay higgey baynna dhayana. Higgey de7ishin, nagara oothida ubbay higgen pirddettana.

For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and as many as have sinned with respect to the law will be judged by the law.

13 Xoossaa sinthan xilleyssati higge naageyssatappe attin higge sissa xalaala si7eyssata gidokkona.

For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be justified.

14 Higgey baynna Ayhude gidonna asay medhon higgey kiitteyssa oothoosona. Enttaw xaafettida higgey baynna ixxikokka entti bantta wozanan higgiya eroosona.

For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, they are a law to themselves, although they do not have the law.

15 Entta hanotay, higge kiitay entta wozanan xaafettidayssa bessees. Qassi entta kahay entta bolla markkattees. Entta qofay issi issi toho enttana bala gees; issi issi toho enttana likke gees.

By this they show that the actions required by the law are written in their hearts. Their conscience also bears witness to them, and their own thoughts either accuse or defend them to themselves

16 Ta tamaarssida Wonggelaa mela Xoossay Yesuus Kiristtoosa baggara asa wozanan geemmida qofaa pirddiya wode hessi erettana.

and also to God. That will happen on the day when God will judge the secrets of all people, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.

17 Shin ne nena Ayhude gaasa; higgen zemppaasa; Xoossan ceeqaasa.

But if you call yourself a Jew and rest upon the law and boast in God,

18 Ne oothana mela Xoossay koyabay aybeekko eraasa. Higgiya tamaarida gisho, tuma gidiyabaa dooranaw eraasa.

and know his will and approve of what is excellent because you have been instructed from the law;

19 Neeni qooqeta kaaletheyssa, qassi dhuman de7eyssatas poo7o gideyssa shaakka eraasa.

and if you are convinced that you yourself are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

20 Neeni higgiyafe demmida eratethaaninne tumatethan eeyata eriseyssanne yoogata tamaarsseyssa gideyssa eraasa.

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of little children, and that you have in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth, then how does this affect the way you live your life?

21 Yaatin, ne harata tamaarsseyssi ne nena ays tamaarssikii? Neeni, “Kaysotoppa” gashe, neeni ne huu7en kaysotayye?

You who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?

22 Neeni, “Laammofa” gashe, neeni ne huu7en laammayye? Neeni eeqa ixxashe, eeqay de7iya keethaa bonqayye?

You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who hate idols, do you rob temples?

23 Neeni Xoossaa higgiyan ceeqettasa, shin higgiyas kiitettonna ixxada Xoossaa yeellayay?

You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?

24 Geeshsha Maxaafan, “Hintte gaason Xoossaa sunthay Ayhude gidonna asatan cayettees” geetettidi xaafettis.

For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it has been written.

25 Ne higges kiitettiko, ne qaxxaros maadey de7ees, shin neeni higgiyas kiitettonna ixxiko ne qaxxaretethay qaxxarettiboonna mela gidees.

For circumcision indeed benefits you if you obey the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

26 Ayhude gidonna asi qaxxarettonna de7ishe, higgiyas kiitettiko, Xoossay iya qaxxarettida mela taybenne?

If, then, the uncircumcised person keeps the requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be considered as circumcision?

27 Hintte, Ayhude asati, hinttew xaafettida higgeynne qaxxaroy de7ishin, hintte higges kiitettonna ixxiko, Ayhude gidonna asay qaxxarettonna ixxikokka higges kiitettidi, hintte bolla pirddana.

And will not the one who is naturally uncircumcised condemn you if he keeps the law? This is because you have the written law and circumcision, yet you break the law!

28 Hiza, sunthan Ayhude gidida ubbay tuma Ayhude gidenna. Qassi kare asatethaa qaxxaroy tuma qaxxaro gidenna.

For he is not a Jew who is merely one outwardly; neither is circumcision that which is merely outward in the flesh.

29 Shin tuma Ayhudetethi gaatha baggan Ayhude gideyssa. Tuma qaxxaretethi Xoossaa Ayyaanan oosettiya wozanaa qaxxaretethafe attin xaafettida higgiyan oosettiya asatetha qaxxaro gidenna. He uray galataa Xoossafe ekkeesippe attin asappe gidenna.

But he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter. The praise of such a person comes not from people but from God.
