Romawa 4

1 To, me za mu ce Ibrahim kakan kakanninmu ya gani game da wannan batu?

What shall we say then that Abraham hath found, who is our father according to the flesh.

2 In fa da gaske ne Ibrahim ya sami kuɓuta ta wurin ayyuka, yana da abin da zai yin taƙama da shi ke nan, amma ba a gaban Allah ba.

For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God.

3 Me Nassin ya ce? “Ibrahim ya gaskata Allah, aka kuma lissafta wannan adalci ne a gare shi.”

For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.

4 To, sa’ad da mutum ya yi aiki, ba a lissafta ladan aikinsa a matsayin kyauta, sai dai a matsayin hakkinsa.

Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.

5 Amma fa, game da mutumin da ba ya aiki sai dai dogara ga Allah wanda yake kuɓutar da masu mugunta, akan lissafta bangaskiyarsa a matsayin adalci ne.

But to him that worketh not, yet believeth in him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reputed to justice, according to the purpose of the grace of God.

6 Dawuda ya faɗi haka sa’ad da ya yi magana game da albarkar da aka yi wa mutumin da Allah ya lissafta adalci a gare shi, ba don yă yi ayyuka ba.

As David also termeth the blessedness of a man, to whom God reputeth justice without works:

7 “Masu albarka ne waɗanda aka gafarta laifofinsu, waɗanda aka kuma rufe zunubansu.

Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Mai albarka ne mutumin da Ubangiji ba zai taɓa lissafta zunubansa ba.”

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin.

9 Shin, wannan albarkar a kan masu kaciya ne kawai, ko kuwa har da marasa kaciya ma? Mun sha faɗi cewa an lissafta bangaskiyar Ibrahim adalci ne a gare shi.

This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only, or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice.

10 A kan wane hali ne aka lissafta masa? Bayan da aka yi masa kaciya ne, ko kuwa kafin kaciyar? Ba bayan an yi masa kaciya ba ne, amma kafin a yi masa kaciya!

How then was it reputed? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

11 Ya kuma karɓi alamar kaciya, hatimin adalcin da yake da shi ta wurin bangaskiya tun yana marar kaciya. Saboda haka fa, ya zama mahaifin dukan waɗanda suka gaskata domin su ma a lasafta su masu adalci ne, ba tare da an yi musu kaciya ba.

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the justice of the faith, which he had, being uncircumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, being uncircumcised, that unto them also it may be reputed to justice:

12 Ya kuma zama mahaifin masu kaciya waɗanda ba kaciya kaɗai suke da ita ba amma har ma suna bin gurbin bangaskiyar da mahaifinmu Ibrahim yake da ita kafin aka yi masa kaciya.

And might be the father of circumcision; not to them only, that are of the circumcision, but to them also that follow the steps of the faithful, that is in the uncircumcision of our father Abraham.

13 Ba ta wurin doka ce Ibrahim da zuriyarsa suka sami alkawarin cewa zai zama magājin duniya ba, amma sai dai ta wurin adalcin da yake zuwa ta wurin bangaskiya.

For not through the law was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world; but through the justice of faith.

14 Gama da a ce masu kiyaye doka ne magāda, ai, da bangaskiya ba ta da amfani, alkawarin kuma ya zama banza,

For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, the promise is made of no effect.

15 domin doka tana jawo fushi ne. Kuma inda babu doka babu keta umarni ke nan.

For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

16 Saboda haka, alkawari yakan zo ta wurin bangaskiya ne, domin yă zama ta wurin alheri, don a tabbatar wa dukan zuriyar Ibrahim ba kawai ga waɗanda suke na doka ba amma har ma ga waɗanda suke na bangaskiyar Ibrahim. Shi ne kuwa mahaifinmu duka.

Therefore is it of faith, that according to grace the promise might be firm to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,

17 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Na mai da kai uban al’ummai masu yawa.” Shi ubanmu ne a gaban Allah, wanda a cikinsa ya gaskata, Allahn da yake ba da rai ga matattu, yake kuma kiran abubuwan da ba su kasance ba su zama kamar sun kasance.

(As it is written: I have made thee a father of many nations, ) before God, whom he believed, who quickeneth the dead; and calleth those things that are not, as those that are.

18 Saɓanin dukan bege, Ibrahim cikin bege ya gaskata, haka kuwa ya zama uban al’ummai masu yawa, kamar yadda aka riga aka faɗa masa cewa, “Haka zuriyarka za tă zama.”

Who against hope believed in hope; that he might be made the father of many nations, according to that which was said to him: So shall thy seed be.

19 Ba tare da ya bar bangaskiyarsa ta yi rauni ba, ya fuskanci gaskiyan nan mai cewa jikinsa mai tsufa matacce ne, da yake yana da shekara wajen ɗari, mahaifar Saratu kuma matacciya ce.

And he was not weak in faith; neither did he consider his own body now dead, whereas he was almost an hundred years old, nor the dead womb of Sara.

20 Duk da haka bai yi shakka ta wurin rashin bangaskiya game da alkawarin Allah ba, sai ma ya ƙara ƙarfafa ga bangaskiyarsa, ya kuma ɗaukaka Allah,

In the promise also of God he staggered not by distrust; but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God:

21 yana kuma da cikakken tabbaci cewa Allah yana da iko yă cika abin da ya yi alkawari.

Most fully knowing, that whatsoever he has promised, he is able also to perform.

22 Shi ya sa, “aka lissafta adalci a gare shi.”

And therefore it was reputed to him unto justice.

23 Kalmomin nan, “aka lissafta a gare shi” ba a rubuta su saboda shi kaɗai ba ne,

Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice,

24 amma saboda mu ma, mu da Allah zai lissafta adalci, mu da muka ba da gaskiya gare shi da ya tashe Yesu Ubangijinmu daga matattu.

But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him, that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead,

25 An miƙa shi ga mutuwa saboda zunubanmu, aka kuma tashe shi zuwa rai saboda Allah zai same mu marasa laifi.

Who was delivered up for our sins, and rose again for our justification.
