1 Peter 2

1 Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.

Saboda haka, ku rabu da kowace ƙeta da dukan ruɗu, munafunci, kishi, da kuma kowace irin ɓata suna.

2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Kamar sababbin jarirai, ku yi marmarin madara zalla ta ruhaniya, domin ta wurinta za ku yi girma cikin cetonku,

3 now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

yanzu da kuka ɗanɗana alherin Ubangiji.

4 As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,

Da kuka zo gare shi, rayayyen Dutse, da mutane suka ƙi amma Allah ya zaɓa, kuma mai daraja a gare shi

5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

ku ma, a matsayinku na duwatsu masu rai, ana gina ku ga zama gidan ruhaniya don ku zama tsattsarkar ƙungiyar firistoci, kuna miƙa hadayun ruhaniya, abin karɓa ga Allah ta wurin Yesu Kiristi.

6 For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

Gama a cikin Nassi an ce, “Ga shi, na kafa dutse a Sihiyona, zaɓaɓɓen dutse na kusurwar gini mai daraja, wanda kuma ya dogara gare shi ba zai taɓa kunyata ba.”

7 To you who believe, then, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

A gare ku da kuka gaskata, wannan dutse mai daraja ne. Amma ga waɗanda ba su gaskata ba, “Dutsen da magina suka ƙi ya zama dutsen kusurwar gini,

8 and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word—and to this they were appointed.

kuma, “Dutse ne da yake sa mutane tuntuɓe kuma fā ne da yake sa su fāɗi.” Sun yi tuntuɓe domin sun ƙi su yi biyayya da saƙon, wanda kuma yake abin da aka ƙaddara musu.

9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Amma ku zaɓaɓɓu ne, ƙungiyar firistocin babban Sarki, al’umma mai tsarki, jama’a mallakar Allah, domin ku shaida yabon shi wanda ya kira ku daga cikin duhu zuwa haskensa mai banmamaki.

10 Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Dā ku ba mutane ba ne, amma yanzu ku mutanen Allah ne; Dā ba ku karɓi jinƙai ba, amma yanzu kun karɓi jinƙai.

11 Beloved, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from the desires of the flesh, which war against your soul.

Abokaina ƙaunatattu, ina roƙonku, a matsayin bare da kuma baƙi a duniya, ku rabu da sha’awace-sha’awacen zunubin da suke yaƙi da ranku.

12 Conduct yourselves with such honor among the Gentiles that, though they slander you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.

Ku yi irin rayuwa mai kyau a cikin masu bautar gumaka, yadda ko da sun zarge ku da yin laifi, za su iya ganin ayyukanku nagari, su ɗaukaka Allah a ranar da zai ziyarce mu.

13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to the king as the supreme authority,

Saboda Ubangiji, ku yi biyayya ga kowace hukumar da aka kafa cikin mutane, ko ga sarki, a matsayi wanda ya fi iko,

14 or to governors as those sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right.

ko ga gwamnoni, waɗanda ya aika domin su hukunta masu laifi su kuma yabi masu aikata abin da yake daidai.

15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorance of foolish men.

Gama nufin Allah ne cewa ta wurin yin nagarta za ku toshe jahilcin marasa azanci.

16 Live in freedom, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.

Ku yi rayuwa kamar mutanen da aka’yantar, sai dai kada ku yi amfani da’yancinku a matsayin hujjar aikata mugunta; ku yi rayuwa kamar bayin Allah.

17 Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

Ku nuna ladabin da ya dace ga kowa. Ku ƙaunaci’yan’uwantakar masu bi, ku ji tsoron Allah, ku girmama sarki.

18 Servants, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but even to those who are unreasonable.

Bayi, ku yi biyayya ga iyayengijinku da matuƙar ladabi, ba kawai ga waɗanda suke da kirki da masu sauƙinkai ba, amma har ga masu zafin rai ma.

19 For if anyone endures the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God, this is to be commended.

Gama abin yabo ne in mutum ya yi haƙuri cikin zafin wahalar rashin adalci saboda yana sane da Allah.

20 How is it to your credit if you are beaten for doing wrong and you endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

Amma ina abin taƙama in kuka sha duka saboda kun yi laifi kuka kuma jimre? Sai dai in kuka sha wahala saboda yin nagari kuka kuma jimre, abin yabo ne a gaban Allah.

21 For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:

Ga wannan ne aka kira ku, domin Kiristi ya sha wahala dominku, ya bar muku gurbin da ya kamata ku bi.

22 “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”

“Bai taɓa yin laifi ba sam, ba a kuma sami ƙarya a bakinsa ba.”

23 When they heaped abuse on Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats, but entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

Sa’ad da suka zazzage shi, bai rama ba; sa’ad da ya sha wahala, bai yi barazana ba. A maimakon haka, ya miƙa kansa ga wanda yake shari’ar adalci.

24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

Shi kansa ya ɗauki zunubanmu a jikinsa a kan itace, domin mu mutu ga zunubai mu kuma rayu ga adalci; ta wurin raunukansa ne kuka sami warkarwa.

25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

Gama dā kuna kama da tumakin da suka ɓace, amma yanzu kun dawo ga Makiyayi da kuma Mai lura da rayukanku.
