Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “An ba ka izini ka yi magana.” Saboda haka Bulus ya yi alama da hannunsa ya fara kāriyarsa.
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
Ya ce, “Sarki Agiriffa, na yi sa’a da na tsaya a gabanka yau yayinda nake kāriyata game da dukan zargin Yahudawa,
3 Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
musamman ma domin ka saba sosai da dukan al’adun Yahudawa da kuma maganganunsu. Saboda haka ina roƙonka ka saurare ni da haƙuri.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
“Yahudawa duk sun san yadda na yi rayuwa tun ina yaro, daga farkon rayuwata a ƙasarmu da kuma a Urushalima.
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Sun san ni tun da daɗewa za su kuwa shaida, in suna so, cewa bisa ga ɗarikar addininmu mafi tsanani, na yi rayuwar Bafarisiye ne.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
Yanzu kuwa saboda begena cikin abin da Allah ya yi wa kakanninmu alkawari ne, ake mini shari’a yau.
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Wannan shi ne alkawarin da kabilanmu goma sha biyu suke bege su ga cikawarsa, yayinda suke bauta wa Allah da himma dare da rana. Ya Sarki, saboda wannan bege ne fa Yahudawa suke zargena.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
Don me wani a cikinku zai yi shakka cewa Allah yana tā da matattu?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Ni ma a dā na tabbata cewa ya kamata in yi duk abin da zan iya yi domin in yi gāba da sunan Yesu Banazare.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
Abin da na yi ke nan a Urushalima. Da izinin manyan firistoci na sa tsarkaka da yawa a kurkuku, sa’ad da kuma ake kashe su, nakan ka da ƙuri’ata gāba da su.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
Sau da dama nakan bi majami’a-majami’a, in sa a yi musu hukunci. Na kuma yi ƙoƙarin tilasta su su yi saɓo. Don kuma tsananin fushi da su, sai da na fafare su har waɗansu garuruwa na ƙetaren iyaka, ina tsananta musu.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
“A cikin irin tafiye-tafiyen nan ne ina kan hanya zuwa Damaskus tare da izini daga manyan firistoci.
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
Da tsakar rana, ya sarki, sa’ad da nake kan hanya, sai na ga wani haske daga sama, fiye da hasken rana, yana haskakawa kewaye da ni da abokan tafiyata.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Dukanmu muka fāɗi ƙasa, na kuwa ji wata murya tana ce mini da harshen Arameyik, ‘Shawulu, Shawulu, don me kake tsananta mini? Yana da wuya ka shuri tsinken tsokanar dabba.’
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
“Sai na yi tambaya na ce, ‘Wane ne kai, ya Ubangiji?’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ni ne Yesu wanda kake tsananta wa.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Yanzu ka tashi, ka tsaya da ƙafafunka. Na bayyana a gare ka don in naɗa ka bawa da kuma mai shaidar abin da ka gani game da ni da kuma abin da zan nuna maka.
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Zan tsirar da kai daga mutanenka da kuma daga Al’ummai. Ina aikan ka zuwa gare su domin
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
ka buɗe idanunsu su kuwa juyo daga duhu zuwa haske, daga mulkin Shaiɗan kuma zuwa wurin Allah, domin su sami gafarar zunubai da kuma matsayi a cikin waɗanda aka tsarkake ta wurin bangaskiya a cikina.’
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
“Saboda haka fa, Sarki Agiriffa, ban yi rashin biyayya ga wahayin nan daga sama ba.
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Da farko ga waɗanda suke a Damaskus, sa’an nan ga waɗanda suke a Urushalima da kuma cikin dukan Yahudiya, da kuma ga Al’ummai su ma, na yi wa’azi don su tuba su juyo ga Allah su kuma tabbatar da tubansu ta wurin ayyukansu.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
Shi ya sa Yahudawa suka kama ni a filin haikali suka kuma yi ƙoƙarin kashe ni.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
Amma na sami taimakon Allah har yă zuwa yau. Yanzu ga ni a tsaye a nan, ina shaida ga babba da yaro. Ba na faɗin kome fiye da abin da annabawa da Musa suka ce zai faru,
23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
cewa Kiristi zai sha wahala, kuma a matsayin wanda yake na fari da zai tashi daga matattu, zai yi shelar haske ga mutanensa da kuma Al’ummai.”
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
A nan ne fa Festus ya tsai da kāriyar Bulus. Ya yi ihu ya ce, “Bulus! Kai dai ruɗaɗɗe ne, yawan karatunka yana juya maka kai.”
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ba na hauka, ya mafifici Festus. Abin da nake faɗi gaskiya ne da kuma mai kyau.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
Sarki ya san waɗannan abubuwa, ina kuma iya yin magana da shi a sake. Na tabbata cewa ba ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan da ya kuɓuce saninsa, domin ba a ɓoye aka yi shi ba.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Sarki Agiriffa ka gaskata da annabawa? Na san ka gaskata.”
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “Kana tsammani cewa a cikin ɗan ƙanƙanin lokaci kana so ka mai da ni Kirista?”
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ko a ɗan lokaci, ko a lokaci mai yawa, ina addu’a ga Allah cewa, ba kai kaɗai ba amma duk waɗanda suke saurare ni a yau su zama abin da nake, sai dai ban da sarƙoƙin nan.”
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
Sai sarki ya tashi, haka kuma gwamna da Bernis da kuma waɗanda suke zaune tare da su.
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
Suka bar ɗakin, kuma yayinda suke magana da juna, sai suka ce, “Wannan mutum ba ya yin kome da ya isa kisa ko dauri.”
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Festus, “Da ba don wannan mutum ya ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar ba da an sake shi.”
