Acts 12
1 About that time, King Herod reached out to harm some who belonged to the church.
Kusan a wannan lokaci ne Sarki Hiridus ya kama waɗansu da suke na ikkilisiya, da niyya ya tsananta musu.
2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
Ya sa aka kashe Yaƙub, ɗan’uwan Yohanna, da takobi.
3 And seeing that this pleased the Jews, Herod proceeded to seize Peter during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Sa’ad da ya ga wannan ya faranta wa Yahudawa rai, sai ya kama Bitrus shi ma. Wannan ya faru kwanakin Bikin Burodi Marar Yisti.
4 He arrested him and put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Bayan ya kama shi, sai ya sa shi a kurkuku, ya danƙa shi a hannun soja hurhuɗu kashi huɗu, don su yi gadinsa. Hiridus ya yi niyyar ya yi masa shari’a a gaban mutane bayan Bikin Ƙetarewa.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was fervently praying to God for him.
Saboda haka aka tsare Bitrus a kurkuku, amma ikkilisiya ta nace da addu’a ga Allah dominsa.
6 On the night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, with sentries standing guard at the entrance to the prison.
A daren da in gari ya waye da Hiridus yake niyyar kawo shi domin a yi masa shari’a, Bitrus yana barci tsakanin sojoji biyu, daure da sarƙoƙi biyu, masu gadi kuma suna bakin ƙofa.
7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He tapped Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly.” And the chains fell off his wrists.
Ba zato ba tsammani sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana haske kuma ya haskaka a ɗakin. Ya bugi Bitrus a gefe ya kuma tashe shi ya ce, “Maza, ka tashi!” Sarƙoƙin kuwa suka zube daga hannuwansa.
8 “Get dressed and put on your sandals,” said the angel. Peter did so, and the angel told him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.”
Sa’an nan mala’ikan ya ce masa, “Ka sa rigunarka da takalmanka.” Bitrus kuwa ya sa. Mala’ikan ya faɗa masa cewa, “Ka yafa mayafinka ka bi ni.”
9 So Peter followed him out, but he was unaware that what the angel was doing was real. He thought he was only seeing a vision.
Bitrus ya bi shi suka fita kurkukun, amma bai ma san cewa abin da mala’ikan yake yi tabbatacce ne ba; yana tsammani wahayi yake gani.
10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city, which opened for them by itself. When they had gone outside and walked the length of one block, the angel suddenly left him.
Suka wuce masu gadi na fari da na biyu, suka kuma isa ƙofar ƙarfe ta shiga birni. Ƙofar kuwa ta buɗe musu da kanta, suka kuma wuce. Sa’ad da suka yi tafiya tsawon wani titi, nan take mala’ikan ya bar shi.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating.”
Sai Bitrus ya dawo hankalinsa ya ce, “Yanzu na sani ba shakka Ubangiji ne ya aiki mala’ikansa yă cece ni daga hannun Hiridus da kuma dukan mugun fatan Yahudawa.”
12 And when he had realized this, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying.
Da ya gane haka, sai ya tafi gidan Maryamu uwar Yohanna, wanda ake kuma kira Markus, inda mutane da yawa suka taru suna addu’a.
13 He knocked at the outer gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer it.
Bitrus ya ƙwanƙwasa ƙofar waje, sai wata mai aiki a gidan da ake kira Roda ta zo tă ji ko wane ne.
14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate, but ran inside and announced, “Peter is standing at the gate!”
Da ta gane muryar Bitrus, ta cika da murna ta gudu ta koma ba tare da ta buɗe ƙofar ba, sai ta koma a guje ta ce da ƙarfi, “Ga Bitrus a bakin ƙofa!”
15 “You are out of your mind,” they told her. But when she kept insisting it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”
Sai suka ce mata, “Kina hauka.” Da ta nace cewa shi ne, sai suka ce, “To, lalle, mala’ikansa ne.”
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.
Amma Bitrus ya yi ta ƙwanƙwasawa. Da suka buɗe ƙofar suka kuma gan shi, sai suka yi mamaki.
17 Peter motioned with his hand for silence, and he described how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. “Send word to James and to the brothers,” he said, and he left for another place.
Bitrus ya yi musu alama da hannunsa su yi shiru sai ya bayyana yadda Ubangiji ya fitar da shi daga kurkuku. Ya ce, “Ku gaya wa Yaƙub da kuma’yan’uwa game da wannan,” sa’an nan ya tashi ya tafi wani wuri.
18 At daybreak there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
Da safe, hargitsin da ya tashi tsakanin sojojin ba ƙarami ba ne, a kan abin da ya sami Bitrus.
19 After Herod had searched for him unsuccessfully, he examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent some time there.
Bayan Hiridus ya neme shi bai same shi ba, sai ya tuhumi masu gadin, ya kuma ba da umarni a kashe su. Sa’an nan Hiridus ya tashi daga Yahudiya ya tafi Kaisariya ya kuma yi’yan kwanaki a can.
20 Now Herod was in a furious dispute with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they convened before him. Having secured the support of Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their region depended on the king’s country for food.
Yana da rashin jituwa da mutanen Taya da na Sidon; sai suka haɗa kai suka nemi ganawa da shi. Bayan suka sami goyon bayan Bilastus, amintaccen bawan sarki, sai suka nemi salama, domin sun dogara ga ƙasar sarkin don samun abincinsu.
21 On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people.
A ranar da aka shirya Hiridus, sanye da kayan sarautarsa, ya zauna a gadon sarautarsa ya kuma ya wa mutanen jawabi.
22 And they began to shout, “This is the voice of a god, not a man!”
Suka tā da murya suka ce, “Wannan muryar wani allah ne, ba ta mutum ba.”
23 Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
Nan take, domin Hiridus bai yi wa Allah yabo ba, wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya buge shi, tsutsotsi kuwa suka cinye shi ya kuma mutu.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and multiply.
Amma maganar Allah ta ci gaba da ƙaruwa ta kuma bazu.
25 When Barnabas and Saul had fulfilled their mission to Jerusalem, they returned, bringing with them John, also called Mark.
Sa’ad da Barnabas da Shawulu suka kammala aikinsu, sai suka komo daga Urushalima, tare da Yohanna, wanda ake kira Markus.
