Romans 4
1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, has discovered?
To, me za mu ce Ibrahim kakan kakanninmu ya gani game da wannan batu?
2 If Abraham was indeed justified by works, he had something to boast about, but not before God.
In fa da gaske ne Ibrahim ya sami kuɓuta ta wurin ayyuka, yana da abin da zai yin taƙama da shi ke nan, amma ba a gaban Allah ba.
3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Me Nassin ya ce? “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lissafta wannan adalci ne a gare shi.”
4 Now the wages of the worker are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation.
To, sa’ad da mutum ya yi aiki, ba a lissafta ladan aikinsa a matsayin kyauta, sai dai a matsayin hakkinsa.
5 However, to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Amma fa, game da mutumin da ba ya aiki sai dai dogara ga Allah wanda yake kuɓutar da masu mugunta, akan lissafta bangaskiyarsa a matsayin adalci ne.
6 And David speaks likewise of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Dawuda ya faɗi haka sa’ad da ya yi magana game da albarkar da aka yi wa mutumin da Allah ya lissafta adalci a gare shi, ba don yă yi ayyuka ba.
7 “Blessed are they whose lawless acts are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
“Masu albarka ne waɗanda aka gafarta laifofinsu, waɗanda aka kuma rufe zunubansu.
8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”
Mai albarka ne mutumin da Ubangiji ba zai taɓa lissafta zunubansa ba.”
9 Is this blessing only on the circumcised, or also on the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness.
Shin, wannan albarkar a kan masu kaciya ne kawai, ko kuwa har da marasa kaciya ma? Mun sha faɗi cewa an lissafta bangaskiyar Ibrahim adalci ne a gare shi.
10 In what context was it credited? Was it after his circumcision, or before? It was not after, but before.
A kan wane hali ne aka lissafta masa? Bayan da aka yi masa kaciya ne, ko kuwa kafin kaciyar? Ba bayan an yi masa kaciya ba ne, amma kafin a yi masa kaciya!
11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but are not circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
Ya kuma karɓi alamar kaciya, hatimin adalcin da yake da shi ta wurin bangaskiya tun yana marar kaciya. Saboda haka fa, ya zama mahaifin dukan waɗanda suka gaskata domin su ma a lasafta su masu adalci ne, ba tare da an yi musu kaciya ba.
12 And he is also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised, but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.
Ya kuma zama mahaifin masu kaciya waɗanda ba kaciya kaɗai suke da ita ba amma har ma suna bin gurbin bangaskiyar da mahaifinmu Ibrahim yake da ita kafin aka yi masa kaciya.
13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
Ba ta wurin doka ce Ibrahim da zuriyarsa suka sami alkawarin cewa zai zama magājin duniya ba, amma sai dai ta wurin adalcin da yake zuwa ta wurin bangaskiya.
14 For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
Gama da a ce masu kiyaye doka ne magāda, ai, da bangaskiya ba ta da amfani, alkawarin kuma ya zama banza,
15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
domin doka tana jawo fushi ne. Kuma inda babu doka babu keta umarni ke nan.
16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
Saboda haka, alkawari yakan zo ta wurin bangaskiya ne, domin yă zama ta wurin alheri, don a tabbatar wa dukan zuriyar Ibrahim ba kawai ga waɗanda suke na doka ba amma har ma ga waɗanda suke na bangaskiyar Ibrahim. Shi ne kuwa mahaifinmu duka.
17 As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the presence of God, in whom he believed, the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being what does not yet exist.
Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Na mai da kai uban al’ummai masu yawa.” Shi ubanmu ne a gaban Allah, wanda a cikinsa ya gaskata, Allahn da yake ba da rai ga matattu, yake kuma kiran abubuwan da ba su kasance ba su zama kamar sun kasance.
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”
Saɓanin dukan bege, Ibrahim cikin bege ya gaskata, haka kuwa ya zama uban al’ummai masu yawa, kamar yadda aka riga aka faɗa masa cewa, “Haka zuriyarka za tă zama.”
19 Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.
Ba tare da ya bar bangaskiyarsa ta yi rauni ba, ya fuskanci gaskiyan nan mai cewa jikinsa mai tsufa matacce ne, da yake yana da shekara wajen ɗari, mahaifar Saratu kuma matacciya ce.
20 Yet he did not waver through disbelief in the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
Duk da haka bai yi shakka ta wurin rashin bangaskiya game da alkawarin Allah ba, sai ma ya ƙara ƙarfafa ga bangaskiyarsa, ya kuma ɗaukaka Allah,
21 being fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.
yana kuma da cikakken tabbaci cewa Allah yana da iko yă cika abin da ya yi alkawari.
22 This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Shi ya sa, “aka lissafta adalci a gare shi.”
23 Now the words “it was credited to him” were written not only for Abraham,
Kalmomin nan, “aka lissafta a gare shi” ba a rubuta su saboda shi kaɗai ba ne,
24 but also for us, to whom righteousness will be credited—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
amma saboda mu ma, mu da Allah zai lissafta adalci, mu da muka ba da gaskiya gare shi da ya tashe Yesu Ubangijinmu daga matattu.
25 He was delivered over to death for our trespasses and was raised to life for our justification.
An miƙa shi ga mutuwa saboda zunubanmu, aka kuma tashe shi zuwa rai saboda Allah zai same mu marasa laifi.
