Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Shawulu kuwa yana can, yana tabbatar da mutuwarsa. A wannan rana wani babban tsanani ya auka wa ikkilisiyar da take a Urushalima, sai duka suka warwatsu ko’ina a Yahudiya da Samariya, manzanni kaɗai ne suka rage.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Mutane masu tsoron Allah suka binne Istifanus suka kuma yi makoki ƙwarai dominsa.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Amma Shawulu ya fara hallaka ikkilisiya. Yana shiga gida-gida, yana jan maza da mata yana jefa su cikin kurkuku.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Waɗanda aka wartsar suka yi ta wa’azin maganar a duk inda suka tafi.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
Filibus ya gangara zuwa wani birni a Samariya ya kuma yi shelar Kiristi a can.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Sa’ad da taron mutane suka ji Filibus suka kuma ga abubuwan banmamakin da ya yi, sai duk suka mai da hankali sosai ga abin da ya faɗa.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Mugayen ruhohi suka fiffito suna kururuwa daga cikin mutane da yawa, shanyayyu da guragu masu yawa suka sami warkarwa.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Saboda haka aka yi farin ciki ƙwarai a birnin.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
To, akwai wani mutum mai suna Siman wanda ya kwana biyu yana yin sihiri a birnin har ya ba wa duk mutanen Samariya mamaki. Ya kuma yi taƙama cewa shi wani mai girma ne,
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
dukan mutane kuwa, manyan da ƙanana, suka mai da hankali gare shi suka kuma ce, “Mutumin nan shi ne ikon Allah da aka sani a matsayin Iko Mai Girma”
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Suka bi shi domin ya daɗe yana ba su mamaki da sihirinsa.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Amma da suka gaskata da Filibus sa’ad da yake wa’azin labari mai daɗi na mulkin Allah da kuma sunan Yesu Kiristi, sai aka yi musu baftisma, maza da mata.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Siman kansa ya gaskata aka kuma yi masa baftisma. Ya kuma bi Filibus ko’ina, yana mamakin manyan alamu da ayyukan banmamakin da ya gani.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Sa’ad da manzannin da suke a Urushalima suka ji cewa Samariya ta karɓi maganar Allah, sai suka aika musu da Bitrus da Yohanna.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Da suka iso, sai suka yi musu addu’a domin su karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki,
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
domin Ruhu Mai Tsarki bai riga ya sauka wa waninsu ba tukuna, an dai yi musu baftisma ne kawai a cikin sunan Ubangiji Yesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Sa’an nan Bitrus da Yohanna suka ɗibiya hannuwansu a kansu, suka kuwa karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
Sa’ad da Siman ya ga cewa ana ba da Ruhu ta wurin ɗibiya hannuwan manzannin, sai ya miƙa musu kuɗi,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
ya ce, “Ni ma ku ba ni wannan iyawa don kowa na ɗibiya wa hannuwana yă karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Bitrus ya amsa ya ce, “Bari kuɗinka ya hallaka tare da kai, domin ka yi tsammani za ka iya saya kyautar Allah da kuɗi!
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Ba ruwanka da wannan hidimar, domin zuciyarka ba daidai take a gaban Allah ba.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Ka tuba daga wannan mugunta ka kuma yi addu’a ga Ubangiji. Wataƙila zai gafarta maka don irin tunanin da yake a zuciyarka.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Gama na lura kana cike da ɗacin rai kana kuma daure cikin zunubi.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Sai Siman ya amsa ya ce, “Ku yi addu’a ga Ubangiji saboda ni don kada ko ɗaya daga cikin abin da ka faɗa ya same ni.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Sa’ad da suka yi shaidar suka kuma yi shelar maganar Ubangiji, sai Bitrus da Yohanna suka koma Urushalima, suna wa’azin bishara a ƙauyukan Samariya masu yawa.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
To wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Filibus, “Ka yi kudu zuwa hanyar, hanyar hamada, da ta gangara daga Urushalima zuwa Gaza.”
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Saboda haka ya kama hanya, a kan hanyarsa kuwa sai ya sadu da wani mutumin Itiyofiya, wanda yake bābā, hafsa mai muhimmanci wanda yake lura da dukan ma’ajin Kandas (wanda yake nufin “sarauniyar mutanen Itiyofiya”). Mutumin nan ya tafi Urushalima ne domin yin sujada,
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
a kan hanyarsa ta komawa gida kuwa yana zaune bisan keken yaƙinsa yana karatun littafin annabin Ishaya.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Sai Ruhu ya ce wa Filibus, “Matsa wurin kekunan yaƙin nan ka yi kusa da ita.”
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Sai Filibus ya ruga zuwa wajen keken yaƙin ya kuma ji mutumin yana karatun littafin annabin Ishaya. Filibus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ka fahimci abin da kake karantawa?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Sai ya ce, “Ina fa zan iya, in ba dai wani ya fassara mini ba?” Saboda haka sai ya gayyaci Filibus yă hau yă zauna tare da shi.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Bābān yana karanta wannan Nassin, “An ja shi kamar tunkiya zuwa mayanka, kuma kamar ɗan rago a hannun mai askin gashinsa yake shiru, haka kuwa bai buɗe bakinsa ba.
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
A cikin wulaƙacinsa aka hana masa gaskiya. Wa zai iya yin zancen zuriyarsa? Gama an ɗauke ransa daga duniya.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Sai bābān ya tambayi Filibus ya ce, “Ka gaya mini, ina roƙonka, annabin yana magana a kan wane ne, kansa ne, ko kuwa wani dabam?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Sa’an nan Filibus ya fara da wannan Nassi ɗin ya kuma faɗa masa labari mai daɗi game da Yesu.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
Yayinda suke cikin tafiya a kan hanya, sai suka iso wani wurin ruwa bābān nan ya ce, “Duba, ga ruwa. Me zai hana a yi mini baftisma?”
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Ya kuwa ba da umarni a tsai da keken yaƙin. Sa’an nan da Filibus da bābān suka gangara zuwa cikin ruwan Filibus kuwa ya yi masa baftisma.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Sa’ad da suka fita daga cikin ruwan, sai Ruhun Ubangiji ya fyauce Filibus, bābān kuwa bai ƙara ganinsa ba, amma ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa yana farin ciki.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Filibus kuwa ya fito a Azotus, ya yi ta zagawa, yana wa’azin bishara a dukan garuruwan sai da ya kai Kaisariya.
