Romans 7
1 Are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath power over a man, only so 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 a married woman is bound by the law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband die, she is discharged 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 while her husband is living, she shall be called an adulteress if she become another man's: but if her husband be dead, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she become another man's.
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 And thus, my brethren, ye also are dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye might become another's, even his who is raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto 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 sinful passions while we were under the law operated in our bodies so as 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 delivered from the law, that being dead by which we were bound, that we might serve God 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! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust to be sinful, if the law had not said, "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 was heretofore alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and 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 intended to life, I found to be unto death.
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 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 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 then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid! But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good: that sin might be shewn by the commandment to be 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 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 do, I allow not: for I do not that which I would; but what I hate, this 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 And if I do that which I would 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 but now I am no more the doer of 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 in me (that is in my flesh) dwelleth no good: for to will is present with me, but how to perform 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 I do not the good that I would; but the evil which I would not, this 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 would not, I am no more the doer of 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 kind of law, that when I would do good, evil besets 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 delight in the law of God, as to the inward man:
Gama a ciki-cikina ina farin cikin da dokar Allah;
23 but I perceive another law in my body warring against the law of my mind, and captivating me to the law of sin, which is in my body.
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 Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death?
Kaitona! Wane ne zai cece ni daga wannan jiki mai mutuwa?
25 The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with my mind I 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.
