Afisawa 2

1 Ku kam, a dā ku matattu ne saboda laifofinku da kuma zunubanku.

And as for you, you were dead in your 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 g165)

It was in these trespasses and sins that you once lived according to the ways of this world. You were living according to the ruler of the authorities of the air, the spirit that is working in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

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.

Once we all lived among these people, fulfilling the evil desires of our sinful nature, and carrying out the desires of the body and of the mind. We were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of humanity.

4 Amma saboda yawan ƙaunar da yake mana, Allah, wanda yake mai yawan jinƙai,

But God is rich in mercy because of his great love with which he loved us.

5 ya ba mu rai sa’ad da ya tashe Kiristi daga matattu. Ta wurin alherin Allah ne aka cece ku.

While we were dead in trespasses, he made us alive together in Christ—by grace you have been saved.

6 Allah ya tashe mu tare da Kiristi, ya kuma ba mu wurin zama tare da shi a cikin mulkin samaniya.

God raised us up together with Christ, and God made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

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 g165)

so that in the ages to come he might show to us the immeasurably great riches of his grace expressed in his kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

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 grace you have been saved through faith, and this did not come from you, it is the gift of God,

9 Ba kuwa saboda aikin lada ba, don kada wani yă ɗaga kai.

not from works and so no one may 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 God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good deeds that God planned long ago for us, so that we would 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).

Therefore remember that once you were Gentiles in the flesh. You are called “uncircumcision” by what is called the “circumcision” in the flesh made by human 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.

For at that time you were separated from Christ, foreigners to the people of Israel, strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God 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 Christ Jesus you who once were far away from God have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

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. He made the two one. By his flesh he destroyed the wall of hostility that divided 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.

That is, he abolished the law of commandments and regulations so that he might create one new man in himself, and so making peace.

16 A kan gicciye, Kiristi ya kawar da ƙiyayyar da take tsakaninmu da juna. Ya kuma kawo sulhu tsakaninmu da Allah.

Christ reconciles both peoples into one body to God through the cross, putting to death the hostility.

17 Ya zo ya yi muku wa’azin salama; ku da kuke nesa da shi, ya kuma yi wa waɗanda suke kusa.

Jesus came and proclaimed peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.

18 Gama ta wurinsa dukanmu za mu iya zuwa gun Uba ta wurin Ruhu guda.

For through Jesus we both have access in one Spirit to 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.

So then, now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. Instead you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household.

20 Ku gini ne wanda manzanni da annabawa suke tushensa, Kiristi kuma shi ne dutse mafi muhimmanci na ginin.

You have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, and Christ Jesus himself was the cornerstone.

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 him the whole building fits together and grows as a temple in the Lord.

22 Ku ma sashe ne na wannan ginin da Kiristi ya yi inda Allah yake zaune ta wurin Ruhunsa.

It is in him that you also are being built together as a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.
