Romawa 6
1 Me za mu ce ke nan? Za mu ci gaba da yin zunubi domin alheri yă haɓaka?
What are we to say, then? Are we to continue to sin, in order that God’s loving-kindness may be multiplied?
2 Sam, ko kaɗan! Mun mutu ga zunubi; ta yaya za mu ci gaba da rayuwa a cikinsa kuma?
Heaven forbid! We became dead to sin, and how can we go on living in it?
3 Ko ba ku sani ba cewa dukanmu da aka yi wa baftisma a cikin Kiristi Yesu an yi mana baftismar ne zuwa cikin mutuwarsa?
Or can it be that you do not know that all of us, who were baptized into union with Christ Jesus, in our baptism shared his death?
4 Saboda haka, an binne mu da shi ke nan, ta wurin baftisma cikin mutuwarsa, domin kamar yadda aka tā da Kiristi daga matattu ta wurin ɗaukakar Uba, haka mu ma mu yi zaman sabuwar rayuwa.
Consequently, through sharing his death in our baptism, we were buried with him; that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by a manifestation of the Father’s power, so we also may live a new Life.
5 In kuwa mun zama ɗaya tare da shi haka a cikin mutuwarsa, tabbatacce mu ma za mu zama ɗaya tare da shi cikin tashinsa daga matattu.
If we have become united with him by the act symbolic of his death, surely we shall also become united with him by the act symbolic of his resurrection.
6 Gama mun san cewa an gicciye halayenmu na dā tare da shi domin a kawar da jikin nan mai zunubi don kada mu ƙara zama bayi ga zunubi
We recognise the truth that our old self was crucified with Christ, in order that the body, the stronghold of Sin, might be rendered powerless, so that we should no longer be slaves to Sin.
7 domin duk wanda ya mutu an’yantar da shi daga zunubi ke nan.
For the man who has so died has been pronounced righteous and released from Sin.
8 To, in mun mutu tare da Kiristi, mun gaskata cewa za mu rayu tare da shi kuma.
And our belief is, that, as we have shared Christ’s Death, we shall also share his Life.
9 Gama mun san cewa da yake an tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ba zai sāke mutuwa ba; mutuwa ba ta da sauran iko a kansa.
We know, indeed, that Christ, having once risen from the dead, will not die again. Death has power over him no longer.
10 Mutuwar da ya yi, ya mutu ne sau ɗaya tak, saboda yă shafe zunubi, amma rayuwar da yake yi, yana yi ne cikin tarayya da Allah.
For the death that he died was a death to sin, once and for all. But the Life that he now lives, he lives for God.
11 Haka ku ma, ku ɗauke kanku matattu ne ga ikon zunubi amma rayayyu cikin tarayya da Allah cikin Kiristi Yesu.
So let it be with you — regard yourselves as dead to sin, but as living for God, through union with Christ Jesus.
12 Saboda haka kada ku bar zunubi yă mallaki jikin nan naku mai mutuwa yă sa ku zama masu biyayya ga mugayen sha’awace-sha’awacensa.
Therefore do not let Sin reign in your mortal bodies and compel you to obey its cravings.
13 Kada ku miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku ga zunubi a matsayin kayan aikin mugunta, sai dai ku miƙa kanku ga Allah, a matsayin waɗanda aka fitar da su daga mutuwa zuwa rai; ku kuma miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku gare shi a matsayin kayan aikin adalci.
Do not offer any part of your bodies to Sin, in the cause of unrighteousness, but once for all offer yourselves to God (as those who, though once dead, now have Life), and devote every part of your bodies to the cause of righteousness.
14 Gama zunubi ba zai zama maigidanku ba, domin ba kwa ƙarƙashin doka, sai dai ƙarƙashin alheri.
For Sin shall not lord it over you. You are living under the reign, not of Law, but of Love.
15 Me za mu ce ke nan? Za mu ci gaba yin zunubi domin ba ma ƙarƙashin doka sai dai ƙarƙashin alheri? Sam, ko kaɗan!
What follows, then? Are we to sin because we are living under the reign of Love and not of Law? Heaven forbid!
16 Ba ku sani ba cewa sa’ad da kuka miƙa kanku ga wani don ku yi masa biyayya a matsayin bayi, ko ku bayi ne ga zunubi, wanda yake kai ga mutuwa, ko kuwa ga biyayya, wadda take kai ga adalci, ashe, ba kun zama bayi ga wannan da kuke yi wa biyayya ba ke nan?
Surely you know that, when you offer yourselves as servants, to obey any one, you are the servants of the person whom you obey, whether the service be that of Sin which leads to Death, or that of Duty which leads to Righteousness.
17 Amma godiya ga Allah don ko da yake a dā ku bayi ne ga ikon zunubi, da dukan zuciyarku kun yi biyayya ga irin koyarwar da aka danƙa muku.
God be thanked that, though you were once servants of Sin, yet you learned to give hearty obedience to that form of doctrine under which you were placed.
18 An’yanta ku daga zunubi, kun kuma zama bayi ga aikin adalci.
Set free from the control of Sin, you became servants to Righteousness.
19 Ina magana ne kamar mutane saboda kun raunana a jikinku. Kamar yadda kuka saba miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku a bautar abubuwan ƙazanta da mugun aiki a kan mugun aiki, saboda haka yanzu sai ku miƙa su bayi ga aikin adalci mai kai ga zaman tsarki.
I can but speak as men do because of the weakness of your earthly nature. Once you offered every part of your bodies to the service of impurity, and of wickedness, which leads to further wickedness. Now, in the same way, offer them to the service of Righteousness, which leads to holiness.
20 Sa’ad da kuke bayin zunubi, ba ruwanku da aikin adalci.
While you were still servants of Sin, you were free as regards Righteousness.
21 Wace riba ce kuka samu a lokacin, daga abubuwan nan da yanzu suka zama muku abin kunya? Ƙarshen irin abubuwan nan dai, mutuwa ne!
But what were the fruits that you reaped from those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of such things is Death.
22 Amma a yanzu da aka’yantar da ku daga zunubi kuka kuma zama bayi ga Allah, ribar da kuka samu tana kai ga zaman tsarki, ƙarshenta kuwa rai madawwami ne. (aiōnios g166)
But now that you have been set free from the control of Sin, and have become servants to God, the fruit that you reap is an ever-increasing holiness, and the end Immortal Life. (aiōnios g166)
