Murammadii Laga Jawaabay

Haddaba maxay Yuhuuddu dadka kale dhaantaa? Ama gudniinta waxtarkeedu waa maxay? Si walba wuu u badan yahay; marka hore waxaa Yuhuudda lagu ammaaneeyey hadallada Ilaah. Haddaba, maxaa jira, haddii qaar aanay rumaysad lahayn? Rumaysaddarradoodu miyey Ilaah aaminnimadiisa burin doontaa? 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.

Laakiin haddii xaqnimola'aanteennu muujiso xaqnimada Ilaah, maxaynu odhan doonnaa? Ma xaq daranyahay Ilaaha cadhada soo dejiyaa? (Sida dad baan u hadlayaa.) Ma suurtowdo! Hadduu xaq daranyahay, sidee baa Ilaah dunida u xukumi doonaa? Runta Ilaah hadday beentayda ugu badatay ammaantiisa, de maxaa aniga haddana weli la iigu xukumaa sida mid dembi leh? 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

Waa maxay haddaba? Miyaynu dhaannaa iyaga? Maya, sinaba. Waayo, horaannu u dacweynay Yuhuudda iyo Gariigtaba inay kulligood dembi ku hoos jiraan. 10 Sida qoran,

Mid xaq ahu ma jiro, midnaba;
11 Mid wax garanayaa ma jiro;
Mid Ilaah doondoonaa ma jiro;
12 Dhammaantood gees bay u wada leexdeen, waxay wada noqdeen wax aan wax tar lahayn;
Mid wanaag falaa ma jiro, midnaba;
13 Hungurigoodu waa xabaal furan;
Carrabbadooda wax bay ku khiyaaneeyeen;
Bushimahooda waxaa ku hoos jira sun jilbis;
14 Afkooda waxaa ka buuxa habaar iyo qadhaadh;
15 Cagahoodu waxay u dheereeyaan inay dhiig daadiyaan;
16 Jidadkooda waxaa yaal hoog iyo ba';
17 Jidka nabaddana ma yaqaaniin;
18 Cabsida Ilaahna indhahooda ma hor taal.

19 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 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 Laakiin haatan sharciga la'aantiis ayaa xaqnimadii Ilaah la muujiyey, waxaana u marag furay sharciga iyo nebiyadii, 22 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 Maxaa yeelay, dhammaan way wada dembaabeen oo gaadhi waayeen ammaanta Ilaah; 24 iyagoo hadiyad ahaan xaq lagaga dhigay nimcadiisa xagga madaxfurashada Ciise Masiix ku furtay, 25 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 waxaa weeye muujinta xaqnimadiisa ee haatan joogta inuu isaga qudhiisu xaq ahaado iyo kan xaq ka dhiga kan Ciise rumaysan. 27 Haddaba faankii meeh? Waa reebban yahay. Sharci caynkee ah buu ku hadhay? Ma xagga shuqulladaa? Maya; laakiinse wuxuu ku hadhay sharciga rumaysadka. 28 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaannu ku tirinnaa in nin xaq ku noqdo rumaysadka ee uusan xaq ku noqon shuqullada sharciga. 29 Ama Ilaah ma Ilaaha Yuhuudda oo keliya baa? Miyuusan ahayn kan quruumaha kalena? Haah, waa yahay kan quruumaha kalena, 30 hadday tahay in Ilaah mid keliya yahay oo uu kuwa gudan xaq kaga dhigi doono rumaysadka, kuwa buuryoqabka ahna rumaysadka. 31 De miyaannu haddaba sharciga ku burinnaa rumaysadka? Yaanay noqon! Laakiin sharciga waannu taagnaa.

God’s Faithfulness

What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? Much in every way!(A) First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.(B)

What if some were unfaithful?(C) Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?(D) Not at all! Let God be true,(E) and every human being a liar.(F) As it is written:

“So that you may be proved right when you speak
    and prevail when you judge.”[a](G)

But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly,(H) what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.)(I) Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world?(J) Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory,(K) why am I still condemned as a sinner?”(L) Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”?(M) Their condemnation is just!

No One Is Righteous

What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage?(N) Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin.(O) 10 As it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11     there is no one who understands;
    there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
    they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
    not even one.”[b](P)
13 “Their throats are open graves;
    their tongues practice deceit.”[c](Q)
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”[d](R)
14     “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”[e](S)
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16     ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”[f](T)
18     “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”[g](U)

19 Now we know that whatever the law says,(V) it says to those who are under the law,(W) so that every mouth may be silenced(X) and the whole world held accountable to God.(Y) 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law;(Z) rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.(AA)

Righteousness Through Faith

21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God(AB) has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.(AC) 22 This righteousness(AD) is given through faith(AE) in[h] Jesus Christ(AF) to all who believe.(AG) There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,(AH) 23 for all have sinned(AI) and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified(AJ) freely by his grace(AK) through the redemption(AL) that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,[i](AM) through the shedding of his blood(AN)—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished(AO) 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

27 Where, then, is boasting?(AP) It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.(AQ) 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too,(AR) 30 since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.(AS) 31 Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.
