Romawa 9
1 Ina faɗin gaskiya a cikin Kiristi ba ƙarya nake yi ba, lamirina ya tabbatar da wannan a cikin Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
I speak the truth in Christ; I am not lying, as confirmed by my conscience in the Holy Spirit.
2 Ina da baƙin ciki mai yawa da kuma rashin kwanciyar rai marar ƙarewa a zuciyata.
I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
3 Gama da so na ne, sai a la’anta ni a kuma raba ni da Kiristi saboda’yan’uwana, waɗannan na kabilata,
For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my own flesh and blood,
4 mutanen Isra’ila. Su ne Allah ya mai da su’ya’yansa, ya bayyana musu ɗaukakarsa, ya ba su alkawarinsa da Dokarsa, ya nuna musu hanyar sujada ta gaske, ya kuma ba su sauran alkawura.
the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.
5 Kakannin-kakannin nan kuma nasu ne, Kiristi kuma, ta wurin zamansa mutum, na kabilarsu ne. Yabo ya tabbata ga Allah har abada, shi da yake bisa kome! Amin. (aiōn g165)
Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them proceeds the human descent of Christ, who is God over all, forever worthy of praise! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ba cewa maganar Allah ta kāsa ba ne. Gama ba duk waɗanda suke zuriyar Isra’ila ne suke Isra’ila na gaske ba.
It is not as though God’s word has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel are Israel.
7 Ba kuwa don su zuriyarsa ne dukansu suka zama’ya’yan Ibrahim ba. A maimako, “Ta wurin Ishaku ne za a lissafta zuriyarka.”
Nor because they are Abraham’s descendants are they all his children. On the contrary, “Through Isaac your offspring will be reckoned.”
8 Ana iya cewa zaman zuriyar Ibrahim, ba shi ne zama’ya’yan Allah ba, a’a, zuriya ta alkawarin nan su ne ake lasaftawa zuriyar Ibrahim.
So it is not the children of the flesh who are God’s children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as offspring.
9 Ga yadda aka yi alkawarin nan, “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zan dawo, Saratu kuma za tă haifi ɗa.”
For this is what the promise stated: “At the appointed time I will return, and Sarah will have a son.”
10 Ba ma haka kaɗai ba,’ya’yan Rifkatu suna da mahaifi guda ne, wato, mahaifinmu Ishaku.
Not only that, but Rebecca’s children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
11 Duk da haka, tun ba a haifi tagwayen nan ba, balle su yi wani abu mai kyau ko marar kyau don nufin Allah bisa ga zaɓensa ya tabbata, ba ga aikin lada ba, sai dai ga kiransa,
Yet before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad, in order that God’s plan of election might stand,
12 ba ta wurin ayyuka ba sai dai ta wurin shi wanda ya kira, aka faɗa mata cewa, “Babban zai bauta wa ƙaramin.”
not by works but by Him who calls, she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Yaƙub ne na so, amma Isuwa ne na ƙi.”
So it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 Me za mu ce ke nan? Allah marar adalci ne? Sam, ko kaɗan!
What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Certainly not!
15 Gama ya ce wa Musa, “Zan nuna jinƙai ga wanda zan nuna jinƙai, zan kuma ji tausayin wanda zan ji tausayi.”
For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
16 Saboda haka, bai danganta ga sha’awar mutum ko ƙoƙarinsa ba, sai dai ga jinƙan Allah.
So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.
17 Gama Nassi ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Na ɗaga ka saboda wannan manufa, saboda in nuna ikona a cikinka domin kuma a shaida sunana a duniya duka.”
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”
18 Saboda haka Allah yana nuna jinƙai ga wanda yake so, yana kuma taurara zuciyar wanda yake so.
Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
19 Waninku zai iya ce mini, “To, don me har yanzu Allah yake ganin laifinmu? Gama wa zai iya tsayayya da nufinsa?”
One of you will say to me, “Then why does God still find fault? For who can resist His will?”
20 Amma wane ne kai, ya mutum, da za ka mayar wa Allah magana? “Ashe, abin da aka gina zai iya ce wa wanda ya gina shi, ‘Don me ka gina ni haka?’”
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”
21 Ashe, mai ginin tukwane ba shi da iko yin amfani da yumɓu guda yă gina tukunya domin ayyuka masu daraja da kuma waɗansu don ayyuka marasa daraja?
Does not the potter have the right to make from the same lump of clay one vessel for special occasions and another for common use?
22 Haka ma aikin Allah yake. Ya so yă nuna fushinsa yă kuma sanar da ikonsa, ya yi haka cikin haƙuri ƙwarai ga waɗanda suka cancanci fushinsa, waɗanda aka shirya domin hallaka?
What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?
23 Haka kuma ya so yă sanar da wadatar ɗaukakarsa ga waɗanda suka cancanci jinƙansa, waɗanda ya shirya tun kafin lokaci don ɗaukaka
What if He did this to make the riches of His glory known to the vessels of His mercy, whom He prepared in advance for glory—
24 har da mu ma, mu da ya kira, ba daga cikin Yahudawa kaɗai ba amma har ma daga cikin Al’ummai?
including us, whom He has called not only from the Jews, but also from the Gentiles?
25 Kamar yadda ya faɗa a Hosiya. “Zan kira su ‘mutanena,’ su da ba mutanena ba; zan kuma kira ta ‘ƙaunatacciyata,’ ita da ba ƙaunatacciyata ba,”
As He says in Hosea: “I will call them ‘My People’ who are not My people, and I will call her ‘My Beloved’ who is not My beloved,”
26 kuma, “Zai zama cewa a daidai inda aka ce musu, ‘Ku ba mutanena ba,’ za a ce da su, ‘’ya’yan Allah mai rai.’”
and, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”
27 Ishaya ya ɗaga murya game da Isra’ila ya ce, “Ko da yake yawan Isra’ilawa yana kama da yashi a bakin teku, ragowa ce kaɗai za su sami ceto.
Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only the remnant will be saved.
28 Gama Ubangiji zai zartar da hukuncinsa a bisan duniya da sauri kuma ba da ɓata lokaci ba.”
For the Lord will carry out His sentence on the earth thoroughly and decisively.”
29 Yana nan kamar yadda Ishaya ya riga ya faɗa. “Da ba don Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya bar mana zuriya ba, da mun zama kamar Sodom, da mun kuma zama kamar Gomorra.”
It is just as Isaiah foretold: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have resembled Gomorrah.”
30 Me za mu ce ke nan? Ai, Al’ummai da ba su nemi adalci ba, sun same shi, adalcin da yake ta wurin bangaskiya;
What then will we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith;
31 amma Isra’ila da suka yi ƙwazo wajen bin Dokar adalci, ba su same shi ba.
but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
32 Don me? Domin sun yi ƙwazo wajen binta ba ta wurin bangaskiya ba sai dai ta wurin ayyuka. Sun yi tuntuɓe a kan “dutsen sa tuntuɓe.”
Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
33 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce, “Ga shi, na sa dutse a Sihiyona da yake sa mutane yin tuntuɓe da kuma dutsen da yake sa su fāɗi wanda kuwa ya dogara gare shi ba zai taɓa shan kunya ba.”
as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
