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 minor, 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.
For he is under tutors and stewards, until the time before appointed by his father.
3 Haka yake, sa’ad da muke’yan yara, mun kasance cikin bauta a ƙarƙashin ƙa’idodin duniya.
So, also, we, whilst we were minors, were in bondage under the elements 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 was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the 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 the adoption of sons.
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 you are sons, God has 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 you are no more a bondman, but a son, and if a son, then heir of God through Christ.
8 Dā da ba ku san Allah ba, ku bayi ne ga waɗanda a ainihi ba alloli ba ne.
But formerly indeed, when you knew not God, you served those, who by nature were 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, having acknowledged God, (or rather, being acknowledged by God, ) why do you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which again, a second time, you incline to be in bondage?
10 Kuna kiyaye ranaku da watanni da lokuta da shekaru na musamman!
You carefully observe days and moons, and seasons 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 perhaps, I have labored in vain among you.
12 Ina roƙonku’yan’uwa, ku zama kamar ni, gama na zama kamar ku. Ba ku yi mini wani laifi ba.
Brethren, I pray you, be as I am: for I am you are. You have injured me in nothing.
13 Kun san rashin lafiyar da na yi, shi ne ya yi mini hanyar da na kawo muku bishara da farko.
You know, indeed, that in weakness of the flesh, I declared the gospel to you at 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.
Yet that trial of mine, which was in my flesh, you did not despise; neither did you reject me, but received me as an angel of God, even 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 happiness! for I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes, and given them to me.
16 Yanzu na zama abokin gābanku don na faɗa muku gaskiya ke nan?
Am I, then, become your enemy, because I tell 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 love you ardently, not honorably. Yes, they wish to exclude us, that you may love them ardently.
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 honorable to be ardently in love with a good man at all times, and not merely 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, for whom I travail in birth again till Christ be formed in you;
20 Da ma a ce ina tare da ku yanzu in canja muryata mana! Gama na damu ƙwarai saboda ku!
I could wish, indeed, to be present with you now, and to change my speech; for I am exceedingly in doubt concerning 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, you who wish to be under the law, do you 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 by the bondmaid, and one by 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, indeed, who was of the bondmaid, was begotten according to the flesh; but he who was of the free woman, was 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 are allegorized: for these women are two institutions; the one, indeed, from Mount Sinai, bringing forth children into 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 the name of Hagar denotes Mount Sinai, in Arabia, ) and she answers 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 the free woman, who 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, O barren woman, who didst not bring forth! Break out and cry, thou who travailest not in birth; for more are the children of the deserted, than of her who had the husband."
28 To, ku’yan’uwa, ku’ya’yan alkawari ne kamar Ishaku.
We, therefore, brethren, like Isaac, are children by 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 even as then, he who was begotten according to the flesh, persecuted him who was begotten according to the 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.”
But what says the scripture? "Cast out the bondmaid and her son; for the son of the bondmaid 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.
Well, then, brethren, we are not the children of the bondmaid, but of the free woman.
