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 say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,
2 Ina da baƙin ciki mai yawa da kuma rashin kwanciyar rai marar ƙarewa a zuciyata.
that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain 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 have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;
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.
who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, 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)
whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. 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.
Not however as though the word of God had failed; for not all [are] Israel which [are] of 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 seed of Abraham [are] all children: but, In Isaac shall a seed be called to thee.
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.
That is, [they that are] the children of the flesh, these [are] not the children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned as seed.
9 Ga yadda aka yi alkawarin nan, “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zan dawo, Saratu kuma za tă haifi ɗa.”
For this word [is] of promise, According to this time I will come, and there shall be a son to Sarah.
10 Ba ma haka kaɗai ba,’ya’yan Rifkatu suna da mahaifi guda ne, wato, mahaifinmu Ishaku.
And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
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,
[the children] indeed being not yet born, or having done anything good or worthless (that the purpose of God according to election might abide, not of works, but of him that calls),
12 ba ta wurin ayyuka ba sai dai ta wurin shi wanda ya kira, aka faɗa mata cewa, “Babban zai bauta wa ƙaramin.”
it was said to her, The greater shall serve the less:
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Yaƙub ne na so, amma Isuwa ne na ƙi.”
according as it is written, I have loved Jacob, and I have hated Esau.
14 Me za mu ce ke nan? Allah marar adalci ne? Sam, ko kaɗan!
What shall we say then? [Is there] unrighteousness with God? Far be the thought.
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 shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy, and I will feel compassion for whom I will feel compassion.
16 Saboda haka, bai danganta ga sha’awar mutum ko ƙoƙarinsa ba, sai dai ga jinƙan Allah.
So then [it is] not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shews 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, For this very thing I have raised thee up from amongst [men], that I might thus shew in thee my power, and so that my name should be declared in all the earth.
18 Saboda haka Allah yana nuna jinƙai ga wanda yake so, yana kuma taurara zuciyar wanda yake so.
So then, to whom he will he shews mercy, and whom he will he hardens.
19 Waninku zai iya ce mini, “To, don me har yanzu Allah yake ganin laifinmu? Gama wa zai iya tsayayya da nufinsa?”
Thou wilt say to me then, Why does he yet find fault? for who resists his purpose?
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?’”
Aye, but thou, O man, who art thou that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
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?
Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?
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?
And if God, minded to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much long-suffering vessels of wrath fitted 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
and that he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he had before prepared for glory,
24 har da mu ma, mu da ya kira, ba daga cikin Yahudawa kaɗai ba amma har ma daga cikin Al’ummai?
us, whom he has also called, not only from amongst [the] Jews, but also from amongst [the] nations?
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 also in Hosea, I will call not-my-people My people; and the-not-beloved 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 shall be, in the place where it was said to them, Ye [are] not my people, there shall they 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.
But Esaias cries concerning Israel, Should the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved:
28 Gama Ubangiji zai zartar da hukuncinsa a bisan duniya da sauri kuma ba da ɓata lokaci ba.”
for [he] is bringing the matter to an end, and [cutting [it] short in righteousness; because] a cutting short of the matter will [the] Lord accomplish upon the earth.
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.”
And according as Esaias said before, Unless [the] Lord of hosts had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and made like even as Gomorrha.
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 shall we say? That [they of the] nations, who did not follow after righteousness, have attained righteousness, but [the] righteousness that is on the principle of faith.
31 amma Isra’ila da suka yi ƙwazo wajen bin Dokar adalci, ba su same shi ba.
But Israel, pursuing after a law of righteousness, has not attained to [that] law.
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.”
Wherefore? Because [it was] not on the principle of faith, but as of works. They have stumbled at the stumblingstone,
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.”
according as it is written, Behold, I place in Zion a stone of stumbling and rock of offence: and he that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
