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 tell the truth in Messiah. I am not lying, my conscience testifying 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 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 accursed from Messiah for my brothers' sake, my physical relatives according to the 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 giving of the law, 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)
of whom are the patriarchs, and from whom is the Messiah, as concerning the flesh, who is over all, God, blessed forever. 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.
But it is not as though the word of God has come to nothing. For they are not all Israel, that 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.”
Neither, because they are Abraham's descendants, are they all children. But, "In Isaac will your descendants 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 children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
9 Ga yadda aka yi alkawarin nan, “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zan dawo, Saratu kuma za tă haifi ɗa.”
For this is what the promise said, "At the appointed time 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.
And not only that, but Rebekah also had conceived by one, 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,
For being not yet born, neither having done anything good or bad, that the purpose of God 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 elder will serve the younger."
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Yaƙub ne na so, amma Isuwa ne na ƙi.”
Even 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!
What should we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Absolutely 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 said 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 is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who has 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 purpose I caused you to be raised up, that I might show in you my power, 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 desires, and he hardens whom he desires.
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 then to me, "Why does he still find fault? For who withstands 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 indeed are you, a human being, to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask 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?
Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a 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, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath made 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 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?
us, whom he also called, not from the Jews only, but also from the non-Jews?
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 them which were not my people 'my people,' and her who was not loved, '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.’”
"It will be that in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' There they will be called 'children 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 are as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be kept safe.
28 Gama Ubangiji zai zartar da hukuncinsa a bisan duniya da sauri kuma ba da ɓata lokaci ba.”
For he will fulfill the word and decisively in righteousness, because the Lord will carry out the word decisively in the midst of 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.”
As Isaiah has said before, "Unless the Lord of hosts had left us a few survivors, we would have become like Sodom, and 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;
What should we say then? That the non-Jews, who did not follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;
31 amma Isra’ila da suka yi ƙwazo wajen bin Dokar adalci, ba su same shi ba.
but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not arrive at 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.”
Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as 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.”
even as it is written, "Look, I am laying in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock to trip over; and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."
