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 am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience is testifying with me in the Holy Spirit—
2 Ina da baƙin ciki mai yawa da kuma rashin kwanciyar rai marar ƙarewa a zuciyata.
I have great sorrow and unceasing distress 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 keep wishing that I myself could be accursed away from the Messiah for the sake of my brothers, my physical relatives,
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 Israelites. To them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the temple 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)
The patriarchs are theirs, and from them came the Christ (the physical part), who is over all, God forever blessed. 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.
However, it is not as though the Word of God has failed! For not all who have 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.”
Neither are they all ‘children’ because they are Abraham's descendants; but, “in Isaac will your seed be called.”
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, it is not the physical children who are God's ‘children’, but the children of the promise are regarded as ‘seed’.
9 Ga yadda aka yi alkawarin nan, “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zan dawo, Saratu kuma za tă haifi ɗa.”
For this is the word of promise: “At this season I will come, 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 also when Rebecca had conceived twins by our forefather 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,
(though they had not yet been born, not having done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who 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 older will serve the younger.”
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Yaƙub ne na so, amma Isuwa ne na ƙi.”
As it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
14 Me za mu ce ke nan? Allah marar adalci ne? Sam, ko kaɗan!
So what shall we say, there is no injustice with God, is there? Of course 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 whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have 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 who wills nor of him who strives, but of God who shows 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.
So then, He has mercy on whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.
19 Waninku zai iya ce mini, “To, don me har yanzu Allah yake ganin laifinmu? Gama wa zai iya tsayayya da nufinsa?”
You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has ever resisted 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?’”
Really now, just who are you, O man, to talk back to God? What is formed will not say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this,” will it?
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 the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
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, wishing to display His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of 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
just in order to make known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
24 har da mu ma, mu da ya kira, ba daga cikin Yahudawa kaɗai ba amma har ma daga cikin Al’ummai?
even us whom He 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 also says in Hosea: “I will call the ‘not my people’, ‘my people’, and the ‘not loved’ (f), ‘loved’.”
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 be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there 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.
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the children of Israel be as 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.”
because He is finishing and cutting short an accounting in righteousness; yes, the Lord will impose a condensed accounting 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 as Isaiah had said previously: “Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like 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;
So what shall we say? That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, attained to righteousness, namely the righteousness that comes from faith;
31 amma Isra’ila da suka yi ƙwazo wajen bin Dokar adalci, ba su same shi ba.
while Israel, pursuing a standard of righteousness, did not attain to that standard.
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 it was not from faith, but as from works of the law. 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: “Look! I am placing in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense, and no one who believes on Him will be put to shame.”
