Romans 4
1 WHAT shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
To, me za mu ce Ibrahim kakan kakanninmu ya gani game da wannan batu?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; 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 saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Me Nassin ya ce? “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lissafta wannan adalci ne a gare shi.”
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
To, sa’ad da mutum ya yi aiki, ba a lissafta ladan aikinsa a matsayin kyauta, sai dai a matsayin hakkinsa.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for 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 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without 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 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
“Masu albarka ne waɗanda aka gafarta laifofinsu, waɗanda aka kuma rufe zunubansu.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Mai albarka ne mutumin da Ubangiji ba zai taɓa lissafta zunubansa ba.”
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for 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 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
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, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
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 the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
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, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of 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 they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
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 worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
domin doka tana jawo fushi ne. Kuma inda babu doka babu keta umarni ke nan.
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who 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 thee a father of many nations, ) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
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 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed 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 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’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 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving 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 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
yana kuma da cikakken tabbaci cewa Allah yana da iko yă cika abin da ya yi alkawari.
22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Shi ya sa, “aka lissafta adalci a gare shi.”
23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Kalmomin nan, “aka lissafta a gare shi” ba a rubuta su saboda shi kaɗai ba ne,
24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up 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 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
An miƙa shi ga mutuwa saboda zunubanmu, aka kuma tashe shi zuwa rai saboda Allah zai same mu marasa laifi.
