Afisawa 2
1 Amma da ku matattu ne cikin zunubanku da laifofinku.
And you were once dead in your sins and offenses,
2 A cikinsu kuka yi rayuwa bisa ga al'amuran duniyan nan. Kuka biye wa mai sarautar ikokin sararin sama, wannan ruhun ne da ke aiki cikin kangararrun 'ya'ya. (aiōn g165)
in which you walked in times past, according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of this sky, the spirit who now works in the sons of distrust. (aiōn g165)
3 Da can dukanmu muna cikin wadannan marasa bada gaskiya. Muka biye wa mugun burin jikinmu. Muna aikata halin mutuntaka da na tunaninmu. Bisa ga dabi'a 'ya'ya ne wadanda sun cancanci fushin Allah, kamar wadansu.
And we too were all conversant in these things, in times past, by the desires of our flesh, acting according to the will of the flesh and according to our own thoughts. And so we were, by nature, sons of wrath, even like the others.
4 Amma Allah mai yalwar jinkai ne, sabili da matukar kauna da ya kaunace mu.
Yet still, God, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us,
5 Sa'anda muke matattu cikin zunubai, ya kawo mu cikin sabon rai tare da Almasihu. Ta wurin alheri aka cece mu.
even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved.
6 Allah ya tashe mu tare ya kuma sa muka zauna tare a matsayi guda cikin Almasihu Yesu.
And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, in Christ Jesus,
7 Ya yi wannan domin a zamanai masu zuwa ya nuna mana matukar yalwar arzikin alherinsa ta wurin Yesu. Yana nuna mana wannan ta wurin alherinsa. (aiōn g165)
so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
8 Domin ta wurin alheri aka cece ku ta wurin bangaskiya, wannan ba daga gare ku ba ne, kyauta ce ta Allah.
For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.
9 Ba daga ayyuka ba, Saboda wannan dalili kada kowa ya yi fahariya.
And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.
10 Gama mu aikin hannuwansa ne, halitattu cikin Almasihu Yesu domin mu yi kyawawan ayyuka, wadanda tun da Allah ya tanada, mu yi rayuwa a cikinsu.
For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk.
11 Saboda haka ku tuna da ku al'ummai ne a dabi'ar jiki. Ana kiranku “marasa kaciya”, abin da ake kira kaciya cikin jiki wadda hannayen mutane ke yi.
Because of this, be mindful that, in times past, you were Gentiles in the flesh, and that you were called uncircumcised by those who are called circumcised in the flesh, something done by man,
12 Gama a lokacin nan a rabe kuke da Almasihu. Ku bare ne ga mutanen Isra'ila. Ku baki ne ga wa'adodi na al'kawarai. Ba ku da tabbaci a kan gobe. Ba ku da Allah a cikin duniya.
and that you were, in that time, without Christ, being foreign to the way of life of Israel, being visitors to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and being without God in this world.
13 Amma yanzu a cikin Almasihu Yesu ku da da kuke nesa da Allah, an kawo ku kusa da shi ta wurin jinin Almasihu.
But now, in Christ Jesus, you, who were in times past far away, have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
14 Gama shine salamar mu. Domin ya mai da biyun daya. Cikin jikinsa ne ya rushe katangar gaba da ta raba mu da juna.
For he is our peace. He made the two into one, by dissolving the intermediate wall of separation, of opposition, by his flesh,
15 Wato ya kawar da shari'a mai umarnai da sharudda, domin ya halitta sabon mutum daya a cikinsa. Yin haka ya kawo salama.
emptying the law of commandments by decree, so that he might join these two, in himself, into one new man, making peace
16 Ya yi haka domin ya sulhunta mutum biyu cikin jiki daya ga Allah ta wurin gicciye. Ta wurin gicciye ya kashe gabar da ke tsakaninsu.
and reconciling both to God, in one body, through the cross, destroying this opposition in himself.
17 Yesu ya zo ya yi maku shelar salama ku da kuke nesa da ku na kusa.
And upon arriving, he evangelized peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near.
18 Domin ta wurin Yesu dukanmu biyu cikin Ruhu daya muna da hanya zuwa wurin Uba.
For by him, we both have access, in the one Spirit, to the Father.
19 Sabo da haka yanzu ku al'ummai, ko daya, ba bare ba ne. Maimakon haka ku abokai ne tare da kebabbun Allah, abokan aiki.
Now, therefore, you are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God,
20 Wadanda an gina su bisa tushen manzanni da annabawa. Almasihu Yesu da kansa shine mafificin dutsen ginin.
having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.
21 A cikinsa dukan ginin ya hade tare, suna kuma girma kamar haikali cikin Ubangiji.
In him, all that has been built is framed together, rising up into a holy temple in the Lord.
22 A cikinsa ne kuma ake gina ku gaba daya kun zama mazaunin Allah a cikin Ruhu.
In him, you also have been built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
