Romans 7
1 Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to those knowing law, ) that law rules over a man as long as he lives?
Ba ku sani ba,’yan’uwa, ina magana ne fa da mutanen da suka san doka, cewa dokar tana da iko a kan mutum muddin yana a raye ne kawai.
2 For the married woman is bound by law to her husband so long as he is alive; but if the husband should die, she is clear from the law of the husband:
Misali, bisa ga doka mace mai aure tana daure ga mijinta muddin mijin yana da rai, amma in mijinta ya mutu, an sake ta ke nan daga dokar aure.
3 so then, the husband being alive, she shall be called an adulteress if she be to another man; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, though she be to another man.
Saboda haka fa, in ta auri wani yayinda mijinta yana raye, za a ce da ita mazinaciya. Amma in mijinta ya mutu, an sake ta ke nan daga wannan doka, ita kuwa ba mazinaciya ba ce, ko da yake ta auri wani.
4 So that, my brethren, ye also have been made dead to the law by the body of the Christ, to be to another, who has been raised up from among [the] dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
Saboda haka’yan’uwana, ku ma kun mutu ga dokar ta wurin jikin Kiristi, domin ku zama na wani, gare shi wanda aka tashe shi daga matattu, don mu ba da amfani ga Allah.
5 For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, which [were] by the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit to death;
Gama sa’ad da halin mutuntaka yake mulkinmu, sha’awace-sha’awacen zunubi waɗanda dokar ta zuga sun yi ta aiki a jikunanmu, don mu ba da amfani wa mutuwa.
6 but now we are clear from the law, having died in that in which we were held, so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.
Amma yanzu, ta wurin mutuwa ga abin da dā ya daure mu, an sake mu daga dokar saboda mu yi hidima a sabuwar hanyar Ruhu, ba a tsohuwar hanyar rubutaccen ƙa’ida ba.
7 What shall we say then? [is] the law sin? Far be the thought. But I had not known sin, unless by law: for I had not had conscience also of lust unless the law had said, Thou shalt not lust;
Me za mu ce ke nan? Dokar zunubi ce? Sam, ko kaɗan! Tabbatacce ai, da ban san mene ne zunubi ba in ba ta wurin doka ba. Gama da ban san mene ne ƙyashi yake ba tabbatacce in ba don doka ta ce, “Kada ka yi ƙyashi ba.”
8 but sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, wrought in me every lust; for without law sin [was] dead.
Amma zunubi, da ya sami dama ta wurin umarnin nan, ya haifar a cikina kowane halin ƙyashi iri-iri. Gama in babu doka, zunubi matacce ne.
9 But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.
Dā kam ina da rai sa’ad da ban san doka ba; amma da umarni ya zo, sai zunubi ya zaburo da rai na kuma mutu.
10 And the commandment, which [was] for life, was found, [as] to me, itself [to be] unto death:
Na gane cewa wannan umarnin da aka nufa ya kawo rai, a gaskiya ya jawo mutuwa ce.
11 for sin, getting a point of attack by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew [me].
Gama zunubi, da ya sami dama ta wurin umarni, sai ya ruɗe ni, kuma ta wurin umarnin kuwa ya kashe ni.
12 So that the law indeed [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Saboda haka fa, dokar tana da tsarki, umarnin kuma yana da tsarki, su duka suna da adalci da kuma kyau.
13 Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be the thought. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death to me by that which is good; in order that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Abin nan da yana mai kyau, zai kawo mini mutuwa? Ko kaɗan! Amma domin zunubi ya bayyana kansa a matsayin zunubi, sai ya haifar da mutuwa a cikina ta wurin abin da yake mai kyau, domin ta wurin umarnin nan zunubi ya fito da matuƙar muninsa.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
Mun san cewa doka aba ce ta ruhu; amma ni ba na ruhu ba ne, an sayar da ni a matsayin bawa ga zunubi.
15 For that which I do, I do not own: for not what I will, this I do; but what I hate, this I practise.
Ban gane abin da nake yi ba. Don abin da nakan so yi, ba shi nakan yi ba, sai dai abin da nake ƙi, shi nake yi.
16 But if what I do not will, this I practise, I consent to the law that [it is] right.
In kuma na yi abin da ba na son yi, na yarda da cewa dokar aba ce mai kyau.
17 Now then [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
Kamar dai yadda yake, ba ni kaina nake yinsa ba, sai dai zunubin da yake zaune a cikina ne.
18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, good does not dwell: for to will is there with me, but to do right [I find] not.
Gama na san cewa babu wani abin kirkin da yake zaune a cikina, wato, a mutuntakata. Gama sha’awar yin abu mai kyau kam ina da ita, sai dai ikon yin ne fa babu.
19 For I do not practise the good that I will; but the evil I do not will, that I do.
Gama abin da nake yi ba shi ne abu mai kyau da nake so in yi ba; a’a, mugun da ba na so in yi, shi ne nake ci gaba da yi.
20 But if what I do not will, this I practise, [it is] no longer I [that] do it, but the sin that dwells in me.
To, in na yi abin da ba na so in yi, ba ni ba ne nake yinsa, sai dai zunubin nan da yake zaune a cikina.
21 I find then the law upon me who will to practise what is right, that with me evil is there.
Saboda haka na gane wannan ƙa’ida ce take aiki a cikina. Sa’ad da nake so in yi abu mai kyau, sai in ga cewa mugun nan ne nake yi.
22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man:
Gama a ciki-cikina ina farin cikin da dokar Allah;
23 but I see another law in my members, warring in opposition to the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which exists in my members.
amma ina ganin wata doka tana aiki a gaɓoɓin jikina, tana yaƙi da dokar hankalina, tana kuma sa in zama ɗaurarren dokar zunubin da take aiki a gaɓoɓin jikina.
24 O wretched man that I [am]! who shall deliver me out of this body of death?
Kaitona! Wane ne zai cece ni daga wannan jiki mai mutuwa?
25 I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself with the mind serve God's law; but with the flesh sin's law.
Godiya ga Allah ta wurin Yesu Kiristi Ubangijinmu! Saboda haka fa, ni kaina a cikin hankalina, ni bawa ne ga dokar Allah, amma a mutuntaka, ni bawa ne ga dokar zunubi.
