1 D o the Jews have anything that those who are not Jews do not have? What good does it do to go through the religious act of becoming a Jew?

Haddaba maxay Yuhuuddu dadka kale dhaantaa? Ama gudniinta waxtarkeedu waa maxay?

2 Y es, the Jews have much more in every way. First of all, God gave the Jews His Law.

Si walba wuu u badan yahay; marka hore waxaa Yuhuudda lagu ammaaneeyey hadallada Ilaah.

3 I f some of them were not faithful, does it mean that God will not be faithful?

Haddaba, maxaa jira, haddii qaar aanay rumaysad lahayn? Rumaysaddarradoodu miyey Ilaah aaminnimadiisa burin doontaa?

4 N o, not at all! God is always true even if every man lies. The Holy Writings say, “Speak the truth and you will not be proven guilty.”

Ma suurtowdo! Ilaah runlow ha ahaado in kastoo nin waluba beenlow yahay, sida qoran, In xaq lagaaga dhigo hadalladaada, Oo aad libaantid markii lagu xukumo.

5 I f our sins show how right God is, what can we say? Is it wrong for God to punish us for it? (I am speaking as men do.)

Laakiin haddii xaqnimola'aanteennu muujiso xaqnimada Ilaah, maxaynu odhan doonnaa? Ma xaq daranyahay Ilaaha cadhada soo dejiyaa? (Sida dad baan u hadlayaa.)

6 N o, not at all! If it were wrong for God to punish us, how could He judge the world?

Ma suurtowdo! Hadduu xaq daranyahay, sidee baa Ilaah dunida u xukumi doonaa?

7 I f my lies honor God by showing how true He is, why am I still being judged as a sinner?

Runta Ilaah hadday beentayda ugu badatay ammaantiisa, de maxaa aniga haddana weli la iigu xukumaa sida mid dembi leh?

8 W hy not say, “Let us sin that good will come from it.” (Some people have said I talk like this!) They will be punished as they should be.

Maxaannu u odhan weynaa, Shar aan samayno in wanaag yimaado? sida lanoo hafro oo ay qaar naga sheegaan sidii annagoo nidhaahna. Xukunka ay kuwaasu helaan waa xaq. Dadku Way Wada Dembaabeen

9 W hat about it then? Are we Jews better than the people who are not Jews? Not at all! I have already said that Jews and the people who are not Jews are all sinners.

Waa maxay haddaba? Miyaynu dhaannaa iyaga? Maya, sinaba. Waayo, horaannu u dacweynay Yuhuudda iyo Gariigtaba inay kulligood dembi ku hoos jiraan.

10 T he Holy Writings say, “There is not one person who is right with God. No, not even one!

Sida qoran, Mid xaq ahu ma jiro, midnaba;

11 T here is not one who understands. There is not one who tries to find God.”

Mid wax garanayaa ma jiro; Mid Ilaah doondoonaa ma jiro;

12 E veryone has turned away from God. They have all done wrong. Not one of them does what is good. No, not even one!

Dhammaantood gees bay u wada leexdeen, waxay wada noqdeen wax aan wax tar lahayn; Mid wanaag falaa ma jiro, midnaba;

13 T heir mouth is like an open grave. They tell lies with their tongues. Whatever they say is like the poison of snakes.

Hungurigoodu waa xabaal furan; Carrabbadooda wax bay ku khiyaaneeyeen; Bushimahooda waxaa ku hoos jira sun jilbis;

14 T heir mouths speak bad things against God. They say bad things about other people.

Afkooda waxaa ka buuxa habaar iyo qadhaadh;

15 T hey are quick to hurt and kill people.

Cagahoodu waxay u dheereeyaan inay dhiig daadiyaan;

16 W herever they go, they destroy and make people suffer.

Jidadkooda waxaa yaal hoog iyo ba';

17 T hey know nothing about peace.

Jidka nabaddana ma yaqaaniin;

18 T hey do not honor God with love and fear.”

Cabsida Ilaahna indhahooda ma hor taal.

19 N ow we know that the Law speaks to those who live under the Law. No one can say that he does not know what sin is. Yes, every person in the world stands guilty before God.

Waannu og nahay in wax alla wixii sharcigu yidhaahdo, uu ku leeyahay kuwa sharciga ku hoos jira, in af kasta la xidho, oo dunida oo dhammu ay Ilaah ku hor gar darnaato.

20 N o person will be made right with God by doing what the Law says. The Law shows us how sinful we are.

Maxaa yeelay, shuqullada sharciga ninna xaq ku noqon maayo Ilaah hortiis, waayo, sharciga ayaa lagu gartaa dembiga. Xaqnimada Waxaa Lagu Helaa Rumaysadka Xagga Ciise Masiix

21 B ut now God has made another way to make men right with Himself. It is not by the Law. The Law and the early preachers tell about it.

Laakiin haatan sharciga la'aantiis ayaa xaqnimadii Ilaah la muujiyey, waxaana u marag furay sharciga iyo nebiyadii,

22 M en become right with God by putting their trust in Jesus Christ. God will accept men if they come this way. All men are the same to God.

waxaana weeyaan xaqnimada Ilaah ee lagu helo rumaysadka xagga Ciise Masiix oo u ah in alla inta rumaysata oo dhan, waayo, kala duwanaan ma leh.

23 F or all men have sinned and have missed the shining-greatness of God.

Maxaa yeelay, dhammaan way wada dembaabeen oo gaadhi waayeen ammaanta Ilaah;

24 A nyone can be made right with God by the free gift of His loving-favor. It is Jesus Christ Who bought them with His blood and made them free from their sins.

iyagoo hadiyad ahaan xaq lagaga dhigay nimcadiisa xagga madaxfurashada Ciise Masiix ku furtay,

25 G od gave Jesus Christ to the world. Men’s sins can be forgiven through the blood of Christ when they put their trust in Him. God gave His Son Jesus Christ to show how right He is. Before this, God did not look on the sins that were done.

kan Ilaah u soo bixiyey inuu dhiiggiisa kafaaraggud ku noqdo xagga rumaysadka la rumaystay dhiiggiisa aawadiis, inuu xaqnimadiisa ku muujiyo dembidhaafka uu dembiyadii hore loo sameeyey ku dhaafay samirkii Ilaah;

26 B ut now God proves that He is right in saving men from sin. He shows that He is the One Who has no sin. God makes anyone right with Himself who puts his trust in Jesus.

waxaa weeye muujinta xaqnimadiisa ee haatan joogta inuu isaga qudhiisu xaq ahaado iyo kan xaq ka dhiga kan Ciise rumaysan.

27 W hat then do we have to be proud of? Nothing at all! Why? Is it because men obey the Law? No! It is because men put their trust in Christ.

Haddaba faankii meeh? Waa reebban yahay. Sharci caynkee ah buu ku hadhay? Ma xagga shuqulladaa? Maya; laakiinse wuxuu ku hadhay sharciga rumaysadka.

28 T his is what we have come to know. A man is made right with God by putting his trust in Christ. It is not by his doing what the Law says.

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaannu ku tirinnaa in nin xaq ku noqdo rumaysadka ee uusan xaq ku noqon shuqullada sharciga.

29 I s God the God of the Jews only? Is He not the God of the people who are not Jews also? He is for sure.

Ama Ilaah ma Ilaaha Yuhuudda oo keliya baa? Miyuusan ahayn kan quruumaha kalena? Haah, waa yahay kan quruumaha kalena,

30 H e is one God. He will make Jews and the people who are not Jews right with Himself if they put their trust in Christ.

hadday tahay in Ilaah mid keliya yahay oo uu kuwa gudan xaq kaga dhigi doono rumaysadka, kuwa buuryoqabka ahna rumaysadka.

31 D oes this mean that we do away with the Law when we put our trust in Christ? No, not at all. It means we know the Law is important.

De miyaannu haddaba sharciga ku burinnaa rumaysadka? Yaanay noqon! Laakiin sharciga waannu taagnaa.
