Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
Bulus ya kai Derbe sa’an nan kuma zuwa Listira, inda wani almajiri mai suna Timoti yake da zama, wanda mahaifiyarsa mutuniyar Yahuda ce kuma mai bi ce, amma mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
’Yan’uwa a Listira da Ikoniyum sun yi magana mai kyau ƙwarai a kansa.
3 Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
Bulus ya so ya ɗauke shi a tafiyar, saboda haka ya yi masa kaciya, domin Yahudawan da suke da zama a wurin, don duk sun san cewa mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
Yayinda suke tafiya daga gari zuwa gari, suka dinga ba da shawarwarin da manzanni da dattawa a Urushalima suka zartar domin mutane su kiyaye.
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
Saboda haka ikkilisiyoyi suka ginu cikin bangaskiya suka kuma yi girma suka yi ta ƙaruwa kowace rana.
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Bulus da abokan tafiyarsa suka zazzaga dukan yankin Firjiya da Galatiya, don Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya hana su yin wa’azi a lardin Asiya.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
Da suka isa kan iyakar Misiya, suka yi ƙoƙari su shiga Bitiniya, amma Ruhun Yesu bai yarda musu ba.
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Saboda haka suka ratsa Misiya suka zo Toruwas.
9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
Da dare Bulus ya ga wahayin wani mutumin Makidoniya yana tsaye yana roƙonsa cewa, “Ka zo Makidoniya ka taimake mu.”
10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
Bayan Bulus ya ga wahayin, muka shirya nan take mu tashi zuwa Makidoniya, mun tabbata cewa, Allah ya kira mu mu yi musu wa’azin bishara.
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
Daga Toruwas muka tashi zuwa teku muka kuma shiga jirgin ruwa muka miƙe kai tsaye zuwa Samotiras, kashegari kuma muka nufi Neyafolis.
12 there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
Daga can muka tafi Filibbi, wata babbar alkaryar Roma wadda kuma take babban birni a gundumar Makidoniya. Muka zauna a can kwanaki masu yawa.
13 on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
A Asabbaci, muka fita ƙofar birnin zuwa bakin kogi, inda muke tsammani za mu sami wurin yin addu’a. Muka zauna muka fara yin wa matan da suka taru a can magana.
14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
Ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka saurare mu mace ce mai suna Lidiya, mai sayar da yadunan jan garura masu tsada daga birnin Tiyatira, mai yi wa Allah sujada. Ubangiji ya buɗe zuciyarta har ta karɓi saƙon Bulus.
15 and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
Da aka yi mata baftisma tare da iyalin gidanta, sai ta gayyace mu zuwa gidanta. Ta ce, “In kun amince ni mai bi ce cikin Ubangiji, sai ku zo ku sauka a gidana.” Sai ta kuwa rinjaye mu.
16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
Wata rana muna tafiya zuwa wurin yin addu’a, sai muka sadu da wata baranya mai ruhun aljani mai duba. Takan samo wa mutanenta kuɗi da yawa, duban da take yi.
17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
Wannan yarinya kuwa ta bi Bulus da kuma sauranmu, tana ihu tana cewa, “Waɗannan mutane bayin Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ne, suna sanar da ku hanyar ceto.”
18 And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
Ta yi ta faɗin haka har kwanaki masu yawa. A ƙarshe Bulus ya damu ƙwarai sai ya juya ya ce wa aljanin, “A cikin sunan Yesu Kiristi na umarce ka, ka rabu da ita!” Nan take aljanin ya rabu da ita.
19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
Da iyayengijin baranyar suka ga hanyar samun kuɗinsu ta toshe, sai suka kama Bulus da Sila suka ja su zuwa cikin kasuwa don su fuskanci hukuma.
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
Sai suka kawo su a gaban alƙalai suka ce, “Waɗannan Yahudawa ne, suna kuma birkitar mana da gari,
21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
ta wurin koyar da al’adun da ba daidai ba ne mu Romawa mu karɓa ko mu aikata.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
Sai taron suka fāɗa wa Bulus da Sila gaba ɗaya, alƙalan kuwa suka yi umarni a tuɓe su a kuma yi musu dūka.
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
Bayan an yi musu bulala sosai, sai aka jefa su cikin kurkuku, aka umarci mai gadin kurkukun yă tsare su da kyau.
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Da karɓan irin umarnan nan, sai ya sa su can cikin ɗakin kurkuku na ciki-ciki, kuma ya ɗaura ƙafafunsu a turu.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
Wajen tsakar dare Bulus da Sila suna addu’a suna rera waƙoƙi ga Allah, sauran’yan kurkuku kuwa suna sauraronsu.
26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
Ba zato ba tsammani sai aka yi wata babbar girgizar ƙasa har tushen ginin kurkukun ya jijjiga. Nan da nan sai duk ƙofofin kurkukun suka bubbuɗe, sarƙoƙin kowa kuma suka ɓaɓɓalle.
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
Mai gadin kurkukun ya farka daga barci, sa’ad da ya ga ƙofofin kurkukun a buɗe, sai ya zāre takobinsa yana shirin kashe kansa domin ya ɗauka’yan kurkukun sun gudu.
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
Amma Bulus ya yi ihu ya ce, “Kada ka yi wa kanka lahani! Dukanmu muna nan!”
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
Mai gadin kurkukun ya kira a kawo fitilu, ya ruga ciki ya fāɗi yana rawan jiki a gaban Bulus da Sila.
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
Sai ya fito da su waje ya kuma tambaye su ya ce, “Ranku yă daɗe, me zan yi domin in sami ceto?”
31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
Suka amsa suka ce, “Ka gaskata da Ubangiji Yesu, za ka sami ceto, kai da iyalinka.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
Sa’an nan suka yi masa maganar Ubangiji shi da kuma dukan sauran da suke a gidansa.
33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
A wannan sa’a na daren, mai gadin kurkukun ya ɗauke su ya wanke musu raunukansu; nan take aka yi masa baftisma da dukan iyalinsa.
34 having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya kawo su cikin gidansa ya ba su abinci; ya kuwa cika da murna don yă gaskata da Allah, shi da dukan iyalinsa.
35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
Da gari ya waye, sai alƙalan suka aika ma’aikatansu wajen mai gadin kurkukun da umarni cewa, “Ka saki mutanen nan.”
36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya gaya wa Bulus cewa, “Alƙalai sun ba da umarni a sake ku kai da Sila. Yanzu sai ku tafi. Ku sauka lafiya.”
37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
Amma Bulus ya ce wa ma’aikatan, “Sun yi mana dūka a fili ba tare da shari’a ba, ko da yake mu’yan ƙasar Roma ne, suka kuma jefa mu cikin kurkuku. Yanzu suna so su fitar da mu a ɓoye? A’a! Sai dai su zo da kansu su rako mu waje.”
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
Sai ma’aikatan suka faɗa wa alƙalan wannan, da suka ji cewa Bulus da Sila Romawa ne, sai suka ji tsoro.
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
Sai suka zo don su roƙe su, suka yi musu rakiya daga kurkukun, suna roƙonsu su bar birnin.
40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
Bayan Bulus da Sila suka fita daga kurkukun, sai suka tafi gidan Lidiya, inda suka sadu da’yan’uwa suka kuma ƙarfafa su. Sa’an nan suka tafi.
