Romans 6

1 Someone might [RHQ] say [in reply to what I have written] that [since God acted kindly toward us] in a way we did not deserve [because we sinned], perhaps we should continue to sin in order that he may continue to act even more kindly toward us [and keep on forgiving us]! [RHQ]

Me za mu ce ke nan? Za mu ci gaba da yin zunubi domin alheri yă haɓaka?

2 [I would reply], No, certainly not! We [ought to consider that] our sinful desires [MET] [cannot make us do what they want us to do], [just like we cannot make] a corpse do what we want it to do. So it is not right that we continue to sin! [RHQ]

Sam, ko kaɗan! Mun mutu ga zunubi; ta yaya za mu ci gaba da rayuwa a cikinsa kuma?

3 When we were baptized {[asked someone to] baptize us} in order to show that we have a relationship with (OR, are united to) Jesus Christ, our [being baptized was to declare that it was as though] we died with Christ. ([I want] you to remember that!/Do you not know that?) [RHQ]

Ko ba ku sani ba cewa dukanmu da aka yi wa baftisma a cikin Kiristi Yesu an yi mana baftismar ne zuwa cikin mutuwarsa?

4 So, when we were baptized {someone baptized us}, [it was as though] we were buried with Christ. [We were baptized] in order to indicate that [we would not let our sinful desires make us do what they want us to do, just like people cannot make] a corpse [do what they want it to] do [MET]. We [were baptized] to [signify that we would] continually conduct our lives in a new way, just like Christ was caused to live again in a new way by the great [power] of [God his] Father.

Saboda haka, an binne mu da shi ke nan, ta wurin baftisma cikin mutuwarsa, domin kamar yadda aka tā da Kiristi daga matattu ta wurin ɗaukakar Uba, haka mu ma mu yi zaman sabuwar rayuwa.

5 Because of our close relationship with Christ, we have [separated ourselves from the former way in which we conducted our lives], just like he [was separated from his physical life when he] died [MET]. But God will also certainly [enable us to live in a new way, just like he] enabled Christ to live again.

In kuwa mun zama ɗaya tare da shi haka a cikin mutuwarsa, tabbatacce mu ma za mu zama ɗaya tare da shi cikin tashinsa daga matattu.

6 We must keep remembering that when Christ died on the cross [MET], [it was as though] our sinful nature [died with him. It has] lost its power to make us do what it wants us to do [MET]. That happened in order that we would not do the sinful [things that our bodies] [MET], which desire to sin, want us to do, and in order that we would no longer have to sin [MET], as slaves [have to do what their masters want].

Gama mun san cewa an gicciye halayenmu na dā tare da shi domin a kawar da jikin nan mai zunubi don kada mu ƙara zama bayi ga zunubi

7 [We are, as it were, freed] {[free]} [from] sinful [desires] [MET] [controlling us, just like] those who have died are free [from anything controlling them].

domin duk wanda ya mutu an’yantar da shi daga zunubi ke nan.

8 Since [it is as though] we died with Christ, we believe that we will continue to live with him.

To, in mun mutu tare da Kiristi, mun gaskata cewa za mu rayu tare da shi kuma.

9 We know that since [God] enabled Christ to live again after he died, Christ will never die again. Nothing will ever be able to make him die again [PRS].

Gama mun san cewa da yake an tā da Kiristi daga matattu, ba zai sāke mutuwa ba; mutuwa ba ta da sauran iko a kansa.

10 When he died, he died once for [people] who had sinned, and he will never die again; but in regard to his living [again now], he lives in order to [serve/honor] God.

Mutuwar da ya yi, ya mutu ne sau ɗaya tak, saboda yă shafe zunubi, amma rayuwar da yake yi, yana yi ne cikin tarayya da Allah.

11 Similarly, you must consider that [it is as though] you have become [unable to do what your] sinful [desires] [MET] want, as a corpse [is not able to do what anyone wants it to do]. You must also consider that because of your relationship to Christ Jesus you are living [in a new way] in order to [serve/honor] God.

Haka ku ma, ku ɗauke kanku matattu ne ga ikon zunubi amma rayayyu cikin tarayya da Allah cikin Kiristi Yesu.

12 So, do not let the [desire to] sin [PRS] control your bodies [MET] with the result that you do the sinful things that you desire to do. [Remember that] your bodies will surely die, [but your spirits will never die].

Saboda haka kada ku bar zunubi yă mallaki jikin nan naku mai mutuwa yă sa ku zama masu biyayya ga mugayen sha’awace-sha’awacensa.

13 Do not let any of your body parts do wicked things, as [you did] [MET] [when you were spiritually] dead. Instead, present yourselves to God as people who are alive [spiritually]. Present all your body parts to God, [to allow him] to use them to [do] righteous things.

Kada ku miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku ga zunubi a matsayin kayan aikin mugunta, sai dai ku miƙa kanku ga Allah, a matsayin waɗanda aka fitar da su daga mutuwa zuwa rai; ku kuma miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku gare shi a matsayin kayan aikin adalci.

14 Do not let a [desire to] sin control you [PRS]. The laws [that God gave Moses] did not enable you [to stop sinning]. But [now] God controls you and kindly helps you [not to sin].

Gama zunubi ba zai zama maigidanku ba, domin ba kwa ƙarƙashin doka, sai dai ƙarƙashin alheri.

15 [I suppose that certain people might think about what I have just said and they might] say [RHQ], “[You say that] the laws [God gave Moses] did not [enable us to stop sinning, but that God is now] treating us kindly in ways we do not deserve. ([That seems to mean that God permits] us to continue sinning./[Does that mean that God permits] us to continue sinning?) [RHQ]” My reply to that is no, we should certainly not continue [sinning]

Me za mu ce ke nan? Za mu ci gaba yin zunubi domin ba ma ƙarƙashin doka sai dai ƙarƙashin alheri? Sam, ko kaɗan!

16 [Slaves] have to obey [what their masters command] [MET] [them to do]. (I want you to remember this./Do you not know this?) [RHQ] Similarly, if you present yourselves to someone [in order to] obey him, you will be the slaves [MET] of the person you obey. Similarly, [if you have yielded yourselves to do the] sinful things [you desire], you are slaves of your sinful desires [PRS], and you will be eternally separated from God. [If you have yielded yourselves] to obey [God], you are slaves of God and you need to [live] righteously.

Ba ku sani ba cewa sa’ad da kuka miƙa kanku ga wani don ku yi masa biyayya a matsayin bayi, ko ku bayi ne ga zunubi, wanda yake kai ga mutuwa, ko kuwa ga biyayya, wadda take kai ga adalci, ashe, ba kun zama bayi ga wannan da kuke yi wa biyayya ba ke nan?

17 You were once slaves [to] your sinful [desires]. But you began to sincerely obey the new teaching [MET] that you were taught {that [people] taught you}. I thank God for that.

Amma godiya ga Allah don ko da yake a dā ku bayi ne ga ikon zunubi, da dukan zuciyarku kun yi biyayya ga irin koyarwar da aka danƙa muku.

18 [I] also [thank God that] you have been freed {[that] he has freed you} from [being controlled by a desire to] sin, and that you have become [as though you were] slaves [MET] to [living] righteously [MET].

An’yanta ku daga zunubi, kun kuma zama bayi ga aikin adalci.

19 I am illustrating what I say [by talking about slavery] because your human nature prevents you from understanding [spiritual truth] easily. [In the past] you willingly did the immoral and unlawful things that [your minds compelled] your bodies to do [MET], [just like] slaves [do what their masters compel them to do]. As a result, you did even more unlawful things. Now, [you need to] willingly allow [your minds to compel] your bodies to [act] righteously [MET], in order that you will behave in a holy/pure way.

Ina magana ne kamar mutane saboda kun raunana a jikinku. Kamar yadda kuka saba miƙa gaɓoɓin jikinku a bautar abubuwan ƙazanta da mugun aiki a kan mugun aiki, saboda haka yanzu sai ku miƙa su bayi ga aikin adalci mai kai ga zaman tsarki.

20 When you were [like] slaves [because your sinful desires compelled you to do] sinful things [MET], you were not [concerned about behaving] righteously [MET].

Sa’ad da kuke bayin zunubi, ba ruwanku da aikin adalci.

21 Nevertheless, [doing] those things resulted in your being separated from God, so you did not benefit at all from [doing] the [sinful] things that you are now ashamed of. [RHQ]

Wace riba ce kuka samu a lokacin, daga abubuwan nan da yanzu suka zama muku abin kunya? Ƙarshen irin abubuwan nan dai, mutuwa ne!

22 But you have been freed {[God] has freed you} from [letting the desire to] sin control you. You have become [as though you are] [MET] the slaves of God. So now the result is that God has caused you to completely belong to him and, as a result, you will live eternally. (aiōnios g166)

Amma a yanzu da aka’yantar da ku daga zunubi kuka kuma zama bayi ga Allah, ribar da kuka samu tana kai ga zaman tsarki, ƙarshenta kuwa rai madawwami ne. (aiōnios g166)

23 [What people receive for] sinning [is that they are] eternally separated from God. That is [like] wages that [people receive] [MET]. But what God gives us is a gift. What he gives us is that we live eternally because of [our relationship with] (OR, because [we are united to]) Christ Jesus our Lord. (aiōnios g166)

Gama sakamakon zunubi mutuwa ne, amma kyautar Allah rai madawwami ne a cikin Kiristi Yesu Ubangijinmu. (aiōnios g166)
