< Afisawa 2 >
1 Ku kam, a dā ku matattu ne saboda laifofinku da kuma zunubanku.
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Kun yi rayuwa kamar yadda sauran mutanen duniya suke yi, cike da zunubi, kuna biyayya ga sarki masu ikon sarari sama, wato, ruhun nan da yanzu yake aiki a cikin masu ƙin biyayya ga Allah. (aiōn )
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn )
3 Dukanmu a dā mun yi irin rayuwan nan a cikinsu, muna bin kwaɗayi da sha’awace-sha’awacen jikunanmu da tunaninmu. Kamar sauran mutane, mun cancanci fushin Allah.
Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 Amma saboda yawan ƙaunar da yake mana, Allah, wanda yake mai yawan jinƙai,
But YHWH, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 ya ba mu rai sa’ad da ya tashe Kiristi daga matattu. Ta wurin alherin Allah ne aka cece ku.
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with the Messiah, (by favour ye are saved; )
6 Allah ya tashe mu tare da Kiristi, ya kuma ba mu wurin zama tare da shi a cikin mulkin samaniya.
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in the Messiah Yahushua:
7 Allah ya yi haka domin a tsararraki masu zuwa yă nuna yalwar alherinsa da ya wuce misali, an bayyana alheransa da ya yi mana ta wurin Kiristi Yesu. (aiōn )
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his favour in his kindness toward us through the Messiah Yahushua. (aiōn )
8 Allah ya cece ku ta wurin alheri sa’ad da kuka ba da gaskiya. Wannan kuwa ba yinku ba ne, kyauta ce daga Allah.
For by favour are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of YHWH:
9 Ba kuwa saboda aikin lada ba, don kada wani yă ɗaga kai.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 Ai, mu aikinsa ne, an sāke halittarmu a cikin Kiristi Yesu musamman domin mu yi kyawawan ayyuka, waɗanda Allah ya tanadar mana tun da fari, mu yi.
For we are his workmanship, created in the Messiah Yahushua unto good works, which YHWH hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Saboda haka, ku tuna dā ku Al’ummai ne bisa ga haihuwa, waɗanda kuma ake kira masu “kaciya” sukan kira ku “marasa kaciya” (ga shi kuwa, kaciyar nan ta jiki ce, wadda ake yi da hannu).
Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 Ku kuma tuna a lokacin ba ku san Kiristi ba. A ware kuke daga mutanen Isra’ila, ba ku kuma da dangantaka da alkawaran da Allah ya yi da su. Kun yi zama a duniyan nan babu bege kuma babu Allah.
That at that time ye were without the Messiah, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without Elohim in the world:
13 Amma yanzu a cikin Kiristi Yesu, ku da dā kuke can da nesa an kawo ku kusa ta wurin jinin Kiristi.
But now in the Messiah Yahushua ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of the Messiah.
14 Gama shi kansa shi ne salamarmu, shi ne ya kawo ƙungiyoyi biyu suka zama ɗaya, ya kuma rushe katangan nan ta ƙiyayya wadda ta raba mu.
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Kiristi ya ba da jikinsa don yă kawar da doka da dukan umarnanta da kuma ƙa’idodinta. Ya yi haka domin yă halicci sabuwar zuriya daga zuriyoyin nan biyu. Ta haka kuma ya kawo salama tsakaninsu.
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 A kan gicciye, Kiristi ya kawar da ƙiyayyar da take tsakaninmu da juna. Ya kuma kawo sulhu tsakaninmu da Allah.
And that he might reconcile both unto YHWH in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 Ya zo ya yi muku wa’azin salama; ku da kuke nesa da shi, ya kuma yi wa waɗanda suke kusa.
And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 Gama ta wurinsa dukanmu za mu iya zuwa gun Uba ta wurin Ruhu guda.
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Don haka, yanzu ku ba baƙi ba ne, ku kuma ba bare ba ne. Ku’yan ƙasa ne tare da mutanen Allah, iyalin gidan Allah kuma.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of YHWH;
20 Ku gini ne wanda manzanni da annabawa suke tushensa, Kiristi kuma shi ne dutse mafi muhimmanci na ginin.
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yahushua the Messiah himself being the chief corner stone;
21 Ta wurinsa ne dukan ginin yake a haɗe, shi ne kuma yake sa ginin yă yi girma, yă zama haikali mai tsarki domin Ubangiji.
In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in YHWH:
22 Ku ma sashe ne na wannan ginin da Kiristi ya yi inda Allah yake zaune ta wurin Ruhunsa.
In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of Elohim through the Spirit.
