Romawa 11
1 To, ina da tambaya. Allah ya ƙi mutanensa ne? Sam, ko kaɗan! Ni mutumin Isra’ila ne kaina, zuriyar Ibrahim kuwa, daga kabilar Benyamin.
I ask then, did God reject His people? Certainly not! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.
2 Allah bai ƙi mutanensa da ya rigya sani ba. Ba ku san abin da Nassi ya faɗa game da Iliya ba, yadda ya kawo kuka ga Allah a kan Isra’ila ya ce,
God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:
3 “Ya Ubangiji, sun karkashe annabawanka suka kuma rurrushe bagadanka; ni kaɗai na ragu, suna kuma neman raina”?
“Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well”?
4 Wace amsa ce Allah ya ba shi? “Na keɓe wa kaina dubu bakwai waɗanda ba su yi wa Ba’al sujada ba.”
And what was the divine reply to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.”
5 Haka ma, a wannan zamani akwai ragowar da aka zaɓa ta wurin alheri.
In the same way, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace.
6 In kuwa na alheri ne, ba sauran cewa ya dogara ga ayyuka ke nan. In ba haka ba, ashe, alheri ba alheri ba ne kuma.
And if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works. Otherwise, grace would no longer be grace.
7 To, sai me? Abin da Isra’ila suka nema da himma ba su samu ba, amma zaɓaɓɓun suka samu. Sauran suka taurare,
What then? What Israel was seeking, it failed to obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened,
8 kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Allah ya ba su ruhun ruɗewa, idanu don su kāsa gani, da kuma kunnuwa don su kāsa ji, har yă zuwa yau.”
as it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see, and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
9 Dawuda kuma ya ce, “Bari teburin cin abincinsu yă zama musu tarko, sanadin fāɗuwa da dutsen sa tuntuɓe da kuma ramuwa a kansu.
And David says: “May their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution to them.
10 Bari idanunsu su duhunta don kada su iya gani, bayansu kuma yă tanƙware har abada.”
May their eyes be darkened so they cannot see, and their backs be bent forever.”
11 Har yanzu ina da tambaya. Sun yi tuntuɓe har ya kai ga fāɗuwar da ba za su iya tashi ba ne? Sam, ko kaɗan! A maimako, saboda laifinsu ne ceto ya zo ga Al’ummai don a sa mutanen Isra’ila su ji kishi.
I ask then, did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Certainly not! However, because of their trespass, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.
12 Amma in laifinsu yana nufin albarka ga duniya, hasararsu kuma albarka ga Al’ummai, ina misalin yalwar da albarkunsu za su kawo!
But if their trespass means riches for the world, and their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their fullness bring!
13 Ina magana da ku ne fa Al’ummai. Tun da yake ni manzo ne ga Al’ummai, ina taƙama da aikin nan nawa,
I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry
14 da fata zan rura kabilata a ta kowace hanya su ji kishi har ma yă sa in ceci waɗansunsu.
in the hope that I may provoke my own people to jealousy and save some of them.
15 Gama in ƙinsu da aka yi ya zama sulhu ga duniya, me karɓarsu za tă zama in ba rai daga matattu ba?
For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?
16 In sashen da aka miƙa a matsayin nunan fari tsattsarka ne, to, sauran ma tsattsarka ne; in saiwar tsattsarka ce, to, sauran rassan ma tsattsarka ne.
If the first part of the dough is holy, so is the whole batch; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 In an sassare waɗansu rassa, kai kuwa da kake kai zaitun jeji, aka ɗauke ka aka kuma yi muku aure, a yanzu kuwa kana shan ni’imar saiwar zaitun ɗin nan tare da sauran rassan,
Now if some branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others to share in the nourishment of the olive root,
18 kada ka yi taƙama cewa ka fi waɗancan rassan da aka sassare. In kuwa ka yi haka, to, ka yi la’akari da wannan. Ba kai ne kake taimakon saiwar ba, saiwar ce take taimakonka.
do not boast over those branches. If you do, remember this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.
19 To, kana iya cewa, “An sassare rassan ne don a ɗaura aure da ni.”
You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.”
20 Haka yake. Amma an sassare su ne saboda rashin bangaskiya, kai kuma kana tsaye ta wurin bangaskiya. Kada ka yi taƙama, sai dai ka ji tsoro.
That is correct: They were broken off because of unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.
21 Gama in har Allah bai bar rassan nan na asali ba, kai ma ba zai bar ka ba.
For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will certainly not spare you either.
22 Ka lura fa da alheri da kuma tsananin Allah, tsanani ga waɗanda suka fāɗi, amma alheri a gare ka, da fata za ka ci gaba cikin alherinsa. In ba haka ba, kai ma za a sare ka.
Take notice, therefore, of the kindness and severity of God: severity to those who fell, but kindness to you, if you continue in His kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.
23 In kuwa ba su nace cikin rashin bangaskiya ba, za a sāke ɗaura aure da su, domin Allah yana iya sāke haɗa su.
And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
24 Kai ma da aka saro daga zaitun ɗin da asalinsa yake na jeji, aka ɗaura aure da kai a jikin zaitun ɗin na gida, saɓanin yadda aka saba, balle waɗannan rassa na asali, da za a ɗaura aure da su a jikin zaitun ɗin nan nasu na asali?
For if you were cut from a wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into one that is cultivated, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
25 Ba na so ku kasance cikin rashin sani game da wannan asirin’yan’uwa, domin kada ku ɗaga kai. Isra’ila sun ɗanɗana sashe na taurarewa har sai da shigowar Al’ummai masu yawa ya cika.
I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.
26 Ta haka kuwa za a ceci dukan Isra’ila, kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Mai ceto zai zo daga Sihiyona; zai kawar da rashin bin Allah daga Yaƙub.
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
27 Wannan kuwa shi ne alkawarina da su sa’ad da na ɗauke musu zunubansu.”
And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”
28 Game da zancen nan na bishara kuwa, su abokan gāba ne saboda ku; amma game da zaɓen kuwa, su ƙaunatattunsa ne, albarkacin kakannin kakanninsu,
Regarding the gospel, they are enemies on your account; but regarding election, they are loved on account of the patriarchs.
29 gama kyautar Allah da kiransa ba a sokewa.
For God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.
30 Kamar yadda a dā can ku da kuke marasa biyayya ga Allah kuka sami jinƙai yanzu ta dalilin rashin biyayyarsu,
Just as you who formerly disobeyed God have now received mercy through their disobedience,
31 haka su ma suka zama marasa biyayya a yanzu domin su ma su sami jinƙai ta dalilin jinƙan da Allah ya yi muku.
so they too have now disobeyed, in order that they too may now receive mercy through the mercy shown to you.
For God has consigned everyone to disobedience so that He may have mercy on everyone. (eleēsē g1653)
33 Kai, zurfin yalwar hikima da kuma sanin Allah yana nan a yalwace! Hukunce-hukuncensa kuma su fi gaban bincike, hanyoyinsa kuwa sun wuce gaban ganewa!
O, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
34 “Wa ya taɓa sanin zuciyar Ubangiji? Ko kuwa yă ba shi shawara?”
“Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?”
35 “Wa ya taɓa ba wa Allah wani abu, da Allah zai sāka masa?”
“Who has first given to God, that God should repay him?”
