Galatiyawa 3
1 Ya ku Galatiyawa marasa azanci! Wa ya ruɗe ku? A idanunku aka bayyana Yesu Kiristi gicciyeyye a sarari.
O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you not be persuaded by the Truth—Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as having been crucified, before your very eyes!
2 Zan so in san abu guda tak daga gare ku. Kun karɓi Ruhu ta wurin kiyaye Doka ne, ko kuwa ta wurin gaskata abin da kuka ji?
Just tell me one thing: Did you receive the Spirit by works of law, or by hearing of faith?
3 Ashe, rashin azancinku har ya kai ga haka? Bayan kun fara da Ruhu, a yanzu kuma da halin mutuntaka za ku ƙarasa?
Can you be so foolish? Having begun in spirit, do you finish in flesh?
4 Ashe, wahaloli dabam-dabam da kuka sha sun zama a banza ke nan? Haka zai yiwu kuwa?
Have you suffered so much for nothing—if it really was for nothing?
5 Allah ya ba ku Ruhunsa yana kuma aikata ayyukan banmamaki a cikinku saboda kuna kiyaye Doka ne, ko kuwa domin kuna gaskatawa abin da kuka ji ne?
Furthermore, He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, is He activated by works of law, or by hearing of faith?—
6 Ku dubi Ibrahim mana, “Ya gaskata Allah, aka kuwa lissafta wannan adalci ne a gare shi.”
just as Abraham ‘believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.’
7 Ku sani fa, waɗannan waɗanda suka gaskata,’ya’yan Ibrahim ne.
Now you must know that only those who are of faith are ‘sons’ of Abraham.
8 Nassi ya hanga cewa Allah zai kuɓutar da Al’ummai ta wurin bangaskiya, ya kuwa sanar wa Ibrahim wannan bisharar tun kafin lokaci yă yi cewa, “Dukan al’ummai za su sami albarka ta wurinka.”
Further, the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations by faith, proclaimed the Gospel in advance to Abraham: “All the nations will be blessed through you.”
9 Saboda haka waɗanda suke da bangaskiya sun sami albarka tare da Ibrahim, mutumin bangaskiya.
So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the faithful.
10 Dukan waɗanda suka dogara ga kiyaye Doka la’anannu ne, gama a rubuce yake cewa, “La’ananne ne duk wanda bai ci gaba da yi dukan abubuwan da aka rubuta a Littafin Doka ba.”
Now as many as are ‘by works of law’ are under a curse; because it stands written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things written in the Book of the Law, to do them.”
11 A fili yake ba wanda zai kuɓuta a gaban Allah ta wurin Doka, domin “Mai adalci zai rayu ta wurin bangaskiya.”
Further, it is evident that no one is justified by law before God, because “the righteous one will live by faith.”
12 Doka ba tă dangana ga bangaskiya ba; a maimakon haka, “Mutumin da ya aikata waɗannan abubuwa zai rayu ta wurinsu.”
While the law is not of faith but, “the man who does them will live by them.”
13 Kiristi ya fanshe mu daga la’anar Doka ta wurin zama la’ana saboda mu, gama a rubuce yake cewa, “La’ananne ne duk wanda aka rataye a kan itace.”
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse in our place—because it stands written, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree”—
14 Ya fanshe mu domin albarkar da aka yi wa Ibrahim yă zo ga Al’ummai, ta wurin Kiristi Yesu, domin ta wurin bangaskiya mu karɓi alkawarin Ruhu.
so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations/Gentiles through Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
15 ’Yan’uwa, bari in yi muku misali da rayuwarmu ta yau da kullum. Kamar dai yadda ba mai kawarwa ko yă ƙara wani abu cikin alkawarin da mutane suka kafa, haka yake a wannan batu.
Brothers: as a man I speak a covenant; though only of a man, once it has been ratified no one annuls or adds to it.
16 Alkawaran nan fa ga Ibrahim ne aka faɗa da kuma wani zuriyarsa. Nassi bai ce, “da zuriyoyi ba” wanda ya nuna kamar mutane da yawa, amma “ga zuriyarka,” wanda yake nufin mutum ɗaya, wanda shi ne Kiristi.
But to Abraham were spoken the promises, and to his Seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as about many, but “and to your seed,” as about one, who is Christ.
17 Abin da nake nufi shi ne, Dokar da aka shigar ita bayan shekaru 430, ba tă kawar da alkawarin da Allah ya yi tun dā ba.
Further, I say this: a covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ cannot be annulled by the law that came four hundred and thirty years later, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 Gama da a ce gādon yă dangana a kan doka ne, ai, da ba zai dangana a kan alkawari ba; amma Allah cikin alherinsa ya ba wa Ibrahim gādon ta wurin alkawari.
For if the inheritance were of law, it would no longer be of promise, but God granted it to Abraham by promise.
19 To, don me aka kawo Doka? An yi ƙari da Doka ne don fitowa da laifi fili har kafin na zuriyan nan ya zo, wanda aka yi wa alkawarin, an ba da doka ta wurin mala’iku ne, aka kuma danƙa ta a hannun matsakanci.
Why then the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the inheritance had been promised; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20 Kuma akan bukaci wani a tsakani ne idan da mutum biyu ake zance, Allah kuwa ɗaya ne.
(Now that mediator is not for just one, but God is one.)
21 To, Dokar ce tana gāba da alkawaran Allah ke nan? Sam, ko kaɗan! Gama da a ce an ba da Dokar da tana iya ba da rai, tabbatacce, da sai a sami adalci ta wurin Doka.
Is the law then against the promises of God? Of course not! Rather, if a law had been given that was capable of imparting life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
22 Amma Nassi ya kulle kome a ƙarƙashin ikon zunubi, domin abin da aka yi alkawarin nan, da ake bayar ta wurin bangaskiya a cikin Yesu Kiristi, a ba da shi ga waɗanda suka gaskata.
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 Kafin bangaskiyan nan tă zo, mun kasance a daure a kurkuku a ƙarƙashin Doka, a kulle sai da bangaskiyar da za tă zo ta bayyana.
Now before this faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, in confinement until the coming faith was revealed.
24 Ta haka aka sa Dokar ta zama jagorarmu zuwa ga Kiristi don mu sami kuɓuta ta wurin bangaskiya.
So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.
25 Yanzu da bangaskiya ta zo, ba sauran zamanmu a ƙarƙashin Doka.
Now that the faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 Dukanku’ya’yan Allah ne ta wurin bangaskiya cikin Kiristi Yesu.
So all of you are sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus.
27 Gama dukanku da aka yi muku baftisma cikin Kiristi, kuna sanye da Kiristi ke nan.
As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ
28 Babu bambanci tsakanin mutumin Yahuda da mutumin Al’ummai, bawa da’yantacce, namiji da ta mace, gama dukanku ɗaya ne cikin Kiristi Yesu.
—there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no ‘male and female’; all of you are one in Christ Jesus—
29 In kuwa ku na Kiristi ne, to, ku zuriyar Ibrahim ne, magāda kuma bisa ga alkawarin nan.
so if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise.
