2 Korintiyawa 6
1 A matsayinmu na abokan aikin Allah, muna roƙonku kada ku karɓi alherin Allah a banza.
Therefore, as God’s fellow-workers, we also appeal to you not to receive his loving-kindness in vain.
2 Gama ya ce, “A lokacin samun alherina, na ji ka, a ranar samun ceto kuma, na taimake ka.” Ina gaya muku, yanzu ne lokacin samun alherin Allah, yanzu ne ranar samun ceto.
For he says — ‘At the time for acceptance I listened to thee, And on the day of deliverance I helped thee.’ Now is the time for acceptance! Now is the day of deliverance!
3 Ba ma sa abin tuntuɓe wa kowa, domin kada hidimarmu ta zama abin zargi.
Never do we put an obstacle in any one’s way, that no fault may be found with our ministry.
4 A maimakon haka, duk abin da muke yi, muna yin shi ne don mu nuna cewa mu masu hidimar Allah ne. Muna yin haka cikin jimrewa, da shan wahala, da shan wuya, har da shan masifu.
No, we are trying to commend ourselves under all circumstances, as God’s ministers should — in many an hour of endurance, in troubles, in hardships, in difficulties,
5 Da shan dūka, da shan dauri, da yawan hargitsi, da yawan fama, da rashin barci, da kuma yunwa.
in floggings, in imprisonments, in riots, in toils, in sleepless nights, in fastings;
6 Da cikin tsarki, da fahimta, da haƙuri, da kirki, da cikin Ruhu Mai Tsarki, da cikin ƙauna mai gaskiya,
by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindliness, by holiness of spirit, by unfeigned love;
7 da cikin magana mai gaskiya, da kuma cikin ikon Allah. Muna riƙe da makaman adalci dama da hagu,
by the Message of Truth, and by the power of God; by the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
8 ta wurin ɗaukaka da ƙasƙanci, da cikin ɓata suna, da kuma cikin yabo. Cikin faɗin gaskiya, an ɗauke mu masu ƙarya,
amid honour and disrepute, amid slander and praise; regarded as deceivers, yet proved to be true;
9 mu sanannu ne, duk da haka an ɗauke mu kamar ba a san mu ba, muna mutuwa, duk da haka a raye muke, an ba mu horo, duk da haka ba a kashe mu ba,
as unknown, yet well-known; as at death’s door, yet, see, we are living; as chastised, yet not killed;
10 cikin baƙin ciki, duk da haka kullum cikin murna muke. Cikin matalauta, duk da haka muna azurtar da mutane da yawa. Ba mu da kome, alhali kuwa kome namu ne.
as saddened, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things!
11 Ya ku Korintiyawa, mun yi muku magana a sake, muka kuma saki zuciya da ku ƙwarai.
We have been speaking freely to you, men of Corinth; we have opened our heart;
12 Ba mu ƙi nuna muku ƙaunarmu ba, sai dai ku kuka ƙi nuna mana.
there is room there for you, yet there is not room, in your love, for us.
13 A wannan zance kam, ina magana da ku kamar’ya’yana, ku ma ku saki zuciya da mu.
Can you not in return — I appeal to you as I should to children — open your hearts to us?
14 Kada ku haɗa kai da marasa bi. Gama me ya haɗa adalci da mugunta? Ko kuwa me ya haɗa haske da duhu?
Do not enter into inconsistent relations with those who reject the Faith. For what partnership can there be between righteousness and lawlessness? or what has light to do with darkness?
15 Wace daidaituwa ce tsakanin Kiristi da Iblis? Me ya haɗa mai bi da marar bi?
What harmony can there be between Christ and Belial? or what can those who accept the Faith have in common with those who reject it?
16 Wane alkawari ne tsakanin haikalin Allah da na gumaka? Gama mu haikalin Allah mai rai ne. Kamar yadda Allah ya ce, “Zan zauna tare da su, in yi tafiya a cikinsu, zan zama Allahnsu, su kuma za su zama mutanena.”
What agreement can thee be between a temple of God and idols? And we are a temple of the Living God. That is what God meant when he said — ‘I will dwell among them, and walk among them; And I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Saboda haka, “Sai ku fito daga cikinsu, ku keɓe kanku, in ji Ubangiji. Kada ku taɓa wani abu marar tsabta, zan kuma karɓe ku.”
Therefore “Come out from among the nations, and separate yourselves from them,” says the Lord, “And touch nothing impure; And I will welcome you;
18 Kuma, “Zan zama Uba a gare ku, ku kuma za ku zama’ya’yana, maza da mata, in ji Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.”
and I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters,” says the Lord, the Ruler of all.’
