Afisawa 2
1 Ku kam, a dā ku matattu ne saboda laifofinku da kuma zunubanku.
And you hath he made alive 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 g165)
in which ye formerly walked after the manner of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that still operates in the children 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.
among whom also we were all conversant heretofore in our carnal desires, indulging the appetites of the flesh and of our imaginations; and were by nature children of wrath, even as others.
4 Amma saboda yawan ƙaunar da yake mana, Allah, wanda yake mai yawan jinƙai,
But God being rich in mercy, through 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.
hath made us alive in Christ, even when we were dead in trespasses, (for by grace ye are saved) and hath raised us up together,
6 Allah ya tashe mu tare da Kiristi, ya kuma ba mu wurin zama tare da shi a cikin mulkin samaniya.
and made us sit together in 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)
That in the ages to come He might shew the superabundant riches of his grace, in his kindness towards us through 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 ye are saved, through faith: and this not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: not by works, that no one may boast:
9 Ba kuwa saboda aikin lada ba, don kada wani yă ɗaga kai.
for we are his workmanship,
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.
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, for which God before prepared us, that we might 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 were formerly Gentiles in the flesh, called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision made by hands in the flesh;
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.
and ye were at that time without Christ, aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: but now in Christ Jesus,
13 Amma yanzu a cikin Kiristi Yesu, ku da dā kuke can da nesa an kawo ku kusa ta wurin jinin Kiristi.
ye, who were formerly afar off, are made nigh 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, who hath made both one, and removed the wall of partition from 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, that He might form the two into one new man, in Himself, 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 in one body unto God, by the cross, having thereby slain the enmity:
17 Ya zo ya yi muku wa’azin salama; ku da kuke nesa da shi, ya kuma yi wa waɗanda suke kusa.
and He came and preached peace to you that 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 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.
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the houshold of God;
20 Ku gini ne wanda manzanni da annabawa suke tushensa, Kiristi kuma shi ne dutse mafi muhimmanci na ginin.
being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ 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 the whole building fitly joined together increaseth to an holy temple in the Lord:
22 Ku ma sashe ne na wannan ginin da Kiristi ya yi inda Allah yake zaune ta wurin Ruhunsa.
in whom ye also are built up together for an habitation of God by the Spirit.
