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.
Now I say, As long as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a bondman, though he be lord of all;
2 Yana ƙarƙashin iyayen goyonsa da masu riƙon amana har yă zuwa cikar lokacin da mahaifinsa ya sa.
but he is under guardians and stewards until the period fixed by the father.
3 Haka yake, sa’ad da muke’yan yara, mun kasance cikin bauta a ƙarƙashin ƙa’idodin duniya.
So we also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the principles 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 fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, come of woman, come under law,
5 domin yă fanshi waɗanda suke a ƙarƙashin doka, saboda mu sami cikakken matsayin zaman’ya’ya.
that he might redeem those under law, that we might receive sonship.
6 Da yake ku’ya’ya ne, sai Allah ya aiko da Ruhun Ɗansa a cikin zukatanmu, Ruhun da yake kira, “Abba, Uba.”
But because ye are sons, God has sent out the Spirit of his Son into our 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 thou art no longer bondman, but son; but if son, heir also through God.
8 Dā da ba ku san Allah ba, ku bayi ne ga waɗanda a ainihi ba alloli ba ne.
But then indeed, not knowing God, ye were in bondage to those who by nature 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 do ye turn again to the weak and beggarly principles to which ye desire to be again anew in bondage?
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 indeed I have laboured in vain as to you.
12 Ina roƙonku’yan’uwa, ku zama kamar ni, gama na zama kamar ku. Ba ku yi mini wani laifi ba.
Be as I [am], for I also [am] as ye, brethren, I beseech you: ye have not at all wronged me.
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 in weakness of the flesh I announced the glad tidings to you at the first;
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 my temptation, which [was] in my flesh, ye did not slight nor reject with contempt; but ye received me as an angel 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.
What then [was] your blessedness? for I bear you witness that, if possible, plucking out your own eyes ye would have given [them] to me.
16 Yanzu na zama abokin gābanku don na faɗa muku gaskiya ke nan?
So I have become your enemy in speaking the truth to you?
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 not rightly zealous after you, but desire to shut you out [from us], that ye may be zealous after 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 [it is] right to be zealous at all times in what is right, 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 children, of whom I again travail in birth until Christ shall have been formed in you:
20 Da ma a ce ina tare da ku yanzu in canja muryata mana! Gama na damu ƙwarai saboda ku!
and I should wish to be present with you now, and change my voice, for I am perplexed as to 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, ye who are desirous of being under law, do ye not listen to 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 of the maid servant, and one of the free woman.
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 he [that was] of the maid servant was born according to flesh, and he [that was] of the free woman through the 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 have an allegorical sense; for these are two covenants: one from mount Sinai, gendering to 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 corresponds to Jerusalem which [is] now, for she 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 our mother.
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 that bearest not; break out and cry, thou that travailest not; because the children of the desolate are more numerous than [those] of her that has a husband.
28 To, ku’yan’uwa, ku’ya’yan alkawari ne kamar Ishaku.
But ye, brethren, after the pattern of 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 as then he that was born according to flesh persecuted him [that was born] according to Spirit, so also [it is] 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.”
But what says the scripture? Cast out the maid servant and her son; for the son of the maid servant shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.
31 Saboda haka,’yan’uwa, mu ba’ya’yan mace’yar aikin gida ba ne, amma na ainihin matan gidan ne.
So then, brethren, we are not maid servant's children, but [children] of the free woman.
