Galatiyawa 4
1 Abin da nake nufi shi ne, muddin magāji yana ɗan yaro ne tukuna, babu bambanci tsakaninsa da bawa, ko da yake shi ne da mallakar kome.
But I say the heir, for as long a time as he is a child, differs nothing from a bondman though he is lord of all.
2 Yana ƙarƙashin iyayen goyonsa da masu riƙon amana har yă zuwa cikar lokacin da mahaifinsa ya sa.
Instead he is under stewards and managers until the time appointed from the father.
3 Haka yake, sa’ad da muke’yan yara, mun kasance cikin bauta a ƙarƙashin ƙa’idodin duniya.
And so when we were children, we were in bondage under the rudiments of the world.
4 Amma da lokacin da aka tsara ya yi sosai, sai Allah ya aiki Ɗansa, haifaffe daga mace, haifaffe a ƙarƙashin Doka,
But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born from a woman, born under law,
5 domin yă fanshi waɗanda suke a ƙarƙashin doka, saboda mu sami cikakken matsayin zaman’ya’ya.
so that he might redeem those under law, so that we might receive the sonship.
6 Da yake ku’ya’ya ne, sai Allah ya aiko da Ruhun Ɗansa a cikin zukatanmu, Ruhun da yake kira, “Abba, Uba.”
And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 Saboda haka kai ba bawa ba ne kuma, kai ɗa ne; da yake kuwa kai ɗa ne, Allah ya mai da kai magāji.
So that thou are no longer a bondman but a son, and if a son, then an heir through Christ.
8 Dā da ba ku san Allah ba, ku bayi ne ga waɗanda a ainihi ba alloli ba ne.
But of course not knowing God then, ye were in bondage to those in nature who are not gods,
9 Amma yanzu da kuka san Allah, ko kuma a ce Allah ya san ku, yaya kuke sāke komawa ga ƙa’idodin duniya marasa ƙarfi, abin tausayi kuma? Kuna so ku sāke komawa ga bautarsu ne?
but now knowing God, but rather being known by God, how is it ye turn again to the weak and destitute elements to which ye desire again to be in bondage anew?
10 Kuna kiyaye ranaku da watanni da lokuta da shekaru na musamman!
Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 Kai, kun ba ni tsoro, don ya zama kamar duk wahalar da na yi a kanku banza ne!
I am afraid of you, lest somehow I have labored toward you in vain.
12 Ina roƙonku’yan’uwa, ku zama kamar ni, gama na zama kamar ku. Ba ku yi mini wani laifi ba.
I beseech you, brothers, become like me, because I also am like ye. Ye wronged me in nothing.
13 Kun san rashin lafiyar da na yi, shi ne ya yi mini hanyar da na kawo muku bishara da farko.
But ye know that through a weakness of the flesh I preached the good news to you the first time.
14 Ko da yake ciwona gwaji ne gare ku, ba ku yi mini reni ko ƙyama ba. A maimakon haka, kuka karɓe ni sai ka ce mala’ikan Allah, kuma sai ka ce Kiristi Yesu kansa.
And ye did not disdain, nor did ye reject my trial in my flesh, but ye received me as an agent of God, as Christ Jesus.
15 Me ya faru da dukan farin cikinku? Na tabbata, a lokacin, da mai yiwuwa ne da kun ciccire idanunku kun ba ni.
Where then is your satisfaction? For I testify to you, that if possible, having plucked your eyes out, ye would have given them to me.
16 Yanzu na zama abokin gābanku don na faɗa muku gaskiya ke nan?
So then have I become your enemy telling you the truth?
17 Waɗancan mutane suna neman su rinjaye ku da ƙwazo, amma ba da kyakkyawar aniya ba. Abin da suke so shi ne su raba ku da mu, saboda ƙwazonku yă koma gare su.
They are zealous for you but not honorably. They want to exclude you, so that ye may be zealous for them.
18 Yana da kyau ku kasance da irin wannan niyya idan da nufi mai kyau ne, ku kuma kasance a haka koyaushe ba sai ina tare da ku ba.
But to be zealous of is always good in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
19 Ya ku’ya’yana ƙaunatattu, ina sāke shan wahalar naƙudarku, har sai Kiristi ya kahu a cikinku.
My little children, of whom I suffer birth pains again until Christ is formed in you.
20 Da ma a ce ina tare da ku yanzu in canja muryata mana! Gama na damu ƙwarai saboda ku!
But I was wishing to be present with you now and to change my tone, because I am perplexed at you.
21 Ku gaya mini, ku da kuke so ku zauna a ƙarƙashin Doka, ba ku san abin da Doka ta ce ba ne?
Tell me those desiring to be under law, do ye not hear the law?
22 Gama a rubuce yake cewa Ibrahim yana da’ya’ya biyu maza, ɗaya ta wurin mace’yar aikin gidansa, ɗaya kuma ta wurin ainihin matarsa.
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one from the servant girl, and one from the freewoman.
23 Ɗansa na wajen mace’yar aikin gidansa ya zo bisa ga ƙa’idar jiki ne; amma ɗansa na wajen ainihin matarsa ya zo a sakamakon alkawarin ne.
But in fact, the man from the servant girl was born according to flesh, but the man from the freewoman through promise.
24 Za a iya ɗaukan waɗannan al’amura a matsayin misali, domin matan nan suna misalta alkawura biyu ne. Alkawari ɗaya daga Dutsen Sinai ne yana kuma haihuwar’ya’yan da za su zama bayi. Hagar ke nan.
Which things are allegorized, for these are two covenants, indeed one from mount Sinai giving birth for bondage, which is Hagar.
25 Hagar tana a matsayin Dutsen Sinai a Arabiya tana kuma kwatancin birnin Urushalima na yanzu, gama ita baiwa ce tare da’ya’yanta.
For Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and it corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children.
26 Amma Urushalimar da take sama’yantacciya ce, ita ce kuma mahaifiyarmu.
But the Jerusalem above is free, which is mother of us all.
27 Gama a rubuce yake cewa, “Ki yi farin ciki, ya ke bakararriya, wadda ba ta haihuwa ki ɓarke da murna, ki kuma tā da murya, ke da ba kya naƙuda; domin da yawa ne’ya’yan macen da aka yashe, fiye da na mai miji.”
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren woman not giving birth. Burst forth and shout, thou not suffering birth pains, because many more are the children of the desolate than of her who has the husband.
28 To, ku’yan’uwa, ku’ya’yan alkawari ne kamar Ishaku.
Now we, brothers, who correspond to Isaac, are children of promise.
29 A wancan lokaci, wannan ɗa wanda aka haifa ta wurin ƙa’idar jiki ya tsananta wa wanda aka haifa ta ikon Ruhu. Haka ma yake har yanzu.
But just as then, the man who was born according to flesh persecuted the man according to Spirit, so also now.
30 Amma me Nassi ya ce? Nassi ya ce, “Kori macen nan’yar aikin gida da ɗanta don ɗan mace’yar aikin gida ba zai taɓa raba gādo tare da ɗa na ainihin matarka ba.”
Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? Send away the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will, no, not inherit with the son of the freewoman.
31 Saboda haka,’yan’uwa, mu ba’ya’yan mace’yar aikin gida ba ne, amma na ainihin matan gidan ne.
So then, brothers, we are not children of a servant girl, but of the freewoman.
