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 Messiah, and do not misrepresent; and my conscience beareth me witness 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 the sadness of my heart is unceasing.
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 prayed, that I myself might be accursed from Messiah, for my brethren and my kinsmen in 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 sons of Israel, to whom belonged the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministration, and the promises, and the fathers;
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)
and from among whom, Messiah appeared in the flesh, who is God over all; to whom be praises and benediction, for ever and 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, that the word of God hath actually failed. For all are not Israel, who 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 are they all sons, because they are of the seed of Abraham: for it was said, In Isaac shall thy 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 children of the flesh, who are the children of God; but the children of the promise, are accounted for the seed.
9 Ga yadda aka yi alkawarin nan, “A ƙayyadadden lokaci zan dawo, Saratu kuma za tă haifi ɗa.”
For the word of promise was this: At that time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10 Ba ma haka kaɗai ba,’ya’yan Rifkatu suna da mahaifi guda ne, wato, mahaifinmu Ishaku.
Nor this only; but Rebecca also, when she had cohabited with 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,
before her children were born, or: had done good or evil, the choice of God was predeclared; that it might stand, not of works, but of him who called.
12 ba ta wurin ayyuka ba sai dai ta wurin shi wanda ya kira, aka faɗa mata cewa, “Babban zai bauta wa ƙaramin.”
For it was said: The elder shall be servant to the younger.
13 Kamar yadda yake a rubuce cewa, “Yaƙub ne na so, amma Isuwa ne na ƙi.”
As it is written: Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated.
14 Me za mu ce ke nan? Allah marar adalci ne? Sam, ko kaɗan!
What shall we say then? Is there iniquity with God? Far be it.
15 Gama ya ce wa Musa, “Zan nuna jinƙai ga wanda zan nuna jinƙai, zan kuma ji tausayin wanda zan ji tausayi.”
Behold, to Moses also he said: I will have pity, on whom I will have pity; and I will be merciful, to whom I will be merciful.
16 Saboda haka, bai danganta ga sha’awar mutum ko ƙoƙarinsa ba, sai dai ga jinƙan Allah.
Therefore, it is not of him who is willing, nor of him who runneth, but of the merciful God.
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 in the scripture, he said to Pharaoh: For this very thing, have I raised thee up; that I might shew my power in thee, 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.
Wherefore, he hath pity upon whom he pleaseth; and whom he pleaseth, he hardeneth.
19 Waninku zai iya ce mini, “To, don me har yanzu Allah yake ganin laifinmu? Gama wa zai iya tsayayya da nufinsa?”
But, perhaps thou wilt say: Of what then doth he complain? For, who hath resisted his pleasure?
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?’”
Thou, thus! Who art thou? O man; that thou repliest against God! Shall the potter's vessel say to the former of it, Why hast thou formed me so?
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?
Hath not the potter dominion over his clay out of the same mass to make vessels, one 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?
And if God, being disposed to exhibit his wrath and to make known his power, in abundance of long-suffering, brought wrath upon the vessels of wrath which were complete 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 made his mercy flow forth upon the vessels of mercy, which were prepared by God for glory;
24 har da mu ma, mu da ya kira, ba daga cikin Yahudawa kaɗai ba amma har ma daga cikin Al’ummai?
namely, upon us who are called, not of the Jews only, but also of 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 also he said in Hosea: I will call them my people, who were not my people; and will pity, whom I have not pitied:
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.’”
For it shall be, that in the place where they were called: Not my people, there shall they be called: The 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 proclaimed concerning the children of Israel: Though the number of the children of Israel should be as the sand on the sea, a remnant of them will live.
28 Gama Ubangiji zai zartar da hukuncinsa a bisan duniya da sauri kuma ba da ɓata lokaci ba.”
He hath finished and cut short the matter: and the Lord will do it on 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 to what Isaiah had before said: If the Lord of hosts had not favored us with a residue, we had been as Sodom, and had been like 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 shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who ran not after righteousness, have found righteousness, even the righteousness which is by faith:
31 amma Isra’ila da suka yi ƙwazo wajen bin Dokar adalci, ba su same shi ba.
But Israel, who ran after the law of righteousness, hath not found the law of righteousness.
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.”
And why? Because they sought it, not by faith, but by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that 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, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed.
