Romans 7
1 Know you not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law, ) that the law hath dominion over a man, as long as it liveth?
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 woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her 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 Therefore, whilst her husband liveth, she shall be called an adulteress, if she be with another man: but if her husband be dead, she is delivered from the law of her husband; so that she is not an adulteress, if she be with 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 Therefore, my brethren, you also are become dead to the law, by the body of Christ; that you may belong to another, who is risen again from the dead, that we may bring forth 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, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto 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 loosed from the law of death, wherein we were detained; so that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the 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? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
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 taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the 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 And I lived some time without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived,
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 I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.
Na gane cewa wannan umarnin da aka nufa ya kawo rai, a gaskiya ya jawo mutuwa ce.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me, and by it killed me.
Gama zunubi, da ya sami dama ta wurin umarni, sai ya ruɗe ni, kuma ta wurin umarnin kuwa ya kashe ni.
12 Wherefore 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 Was that then which is good, made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it may appear sin, by that which is good, wrought death in me; that sin, by the commandment, might become sinful above measure.
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 carnal, 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 work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.
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 If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
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 more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth 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 there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, 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 the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, 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 Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth 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 a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.
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 am delighted with 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, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is 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 Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Kaitona! Wane ne zai cece ni daga wannan jiki mai mutuwa?
25 The grace of God, by Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore, I myself, with the mind serve the law of God; but with the flesh, the law of sin.
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.
