Acts 22
1 "Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you."
“’Yan’uwa da iyaye, ku saurari kāriyata yanzu.”
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
Da suka ji ya yi musu magana da Arameyik, sai suka yi tsit. Sai Bulus ya ce,
3 "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the Law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are this day.
“Ni mutumin Yahuda ne haifaffen Tarshish na Silisiya, amma a nan birnin ne aka rene ni. Aka horar da ni sosai cikin dokokin kakanninmu a ƙarƙashin Gamaliyel ni ma dā mai himma ne cikin bauta wa Allah kamar yadda kowannenku yake a yau.
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Na tsananta wa masu bin wannan Hanyar har ga mutuwarsu, ina kama maza da mata ina kuma jefa su cikin kurkuku,
5 As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
kamar yadda babban firist da dukan Majalisa za su iya shaida. Na ma karɓi wasiƙu daga gare su zuwa ga’yan’uwansu a Damaskus, na kuma tafi can don in kawo waɗannan mutane a daure zuwa Urushalima don a hukunta su.
6 It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around me.
“Wajen tsakar rana da na yi kusa da Damaskus, ba zato ba tsammani sai wani babban haske daga sama ya haskaka kewaye da ni.
7 I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
Sai na fāɗi a ƙasa na kuma ji wata murya ta ce mini, ‘Shawulu! Shawulu! Don me kake tsananta mini?’
8 I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazorean, whom you persecute.'
“Sai na yi tambaya na ce, ‘Wane ne kai, ya Ubangiji?’ “Ya amsa ya ce, ‘Ni ne Yesu Banazare, wanda kake tsanantawa.’
9 "Those who were with me indeed saw the light, and were afraid, but they did not understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
Abokan tafiyata suka ga hasken, amma ba su fahimci muryar mai magana da ni ba.
10 I said, 'What should I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.'
“Sai na yi tambaya, na ce, ‘Me zan yi, ya Ubangiji?’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Tashi, ka tafi cikin Damaskus. A can za a faɗa maka duk abin da aka shirya za ka yi.’
11 When I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Abokan tafiyata suka ja ni a hannu zuwa cikin Damaskus, saboda ƙarfin hasken ya makanta ni.
12 One Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
“Wani mutumin da ake kira Ananiyas ya zo ya gan ni. Shi mai ibada ne wajen kiyaye dokoki wanda dukan Yahudawan da suke zama a can suna girmama shi ƙwarai.
13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' In that very hour I looked up at him.
Ya tsaya kusa da ni ya ce, ‘Ɗan’uwa Shawulu, ka sami ganin garinka!’ A daidai lokacin kuwa na iya ganinsa.
14 He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
“Sa’an nan ya ce, ‘Allah na kakanninmu ya zaɓe ka ka san nufinsa ka kuma ga Mai Adalcin nan ka kuma ji kalmomi daga bakinsa.
15 For you will be a witness for him to all people of what you have seen and heard.
Za ka zama mai shaidarsa ga dukan mutane game da abin da ka gani ka kuma ji.
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'
Yanzu me kake jira? Ka tashi, a yi maka baftisma, a wanke zunubanka, ta wurin kira bisa ga sunansa.’
17 "It happened that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,
“Sa’ad da na dawo Urushalima ina cikin addu’a a haikali, sai na ga wahayi
18 and saw him saying to me, 'Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.'
na ga Ubangiji yana magana. Ya ce mini, ‘Maza! Ka bar Urushalima, gama ba za su yarda da shaidarka game da ni ba.’
19 I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
“Na amsa na ce, ‘Ubangiji, waɗannan mutane sun san cewa na bi majami’a-majami’a na jefa waɗanda suka gaskata da kai a cikin kurkuku, in kuma yin musu dūka.
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.'
Sa’ad da kuma aka zub da jinin Istifanus mashaidinka, na tsaya can ina ba da goyon bayana ina kuma tsaron tufafin masu kisansa.’
21 "He said to me, 'Depart, for I will send you out far from here to non-Jewish people.'"
“Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce mini, ‘Je ka; zan aike ka can nesa a wurin Al’ummai.’”
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, "Rid the earth of this fellow, for he is not fit to live."
Taron suka saurari Bulus sai da ya yi wannan magana. Sa’an nan suka ɗaga muryoyinsu suka yi ihu suka ce, “A raba duniya da wannan mutum! Bai cancanci yă rayu ba!”
23 As they yelled, and threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
Da suna ihu suna kaɗa mayafansu suna da tā da ƙura sama,
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they yelled at him like that.
sai shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya umarta a kai Bulus a barikin soja. Ya ba da umarni a yi masa bulala a kuma tambaye shi abin da ya sa mutane suke masa ihu haka.
25 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?"
Suna kwantar da shi ke nan domin a yi masa bulala, sai Bulus ya ce wa jarumin da yake tsaye a nan, “Ashe, daidai ne bisa ga doka a yi wa ɗan ƙasar Roma bulala wanda ba a ma tabbatar da laifi a kansa ba?”
26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman."
Da jarumin ya ji haka sai ya je wurin shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya ce masa, “Me kake so yi ne? Wannan mutum ɗan ƙasar Roma ne.”
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."
Sai shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya je ya tambayi Bulus ya ce, “Faɗa mini, kai ɗan ƙasar Roma ne?” Bulus ya ce, “I.”
28 The commanding officer answered, "I bought my citizenship for a great price." Paul said, "But I was born a Roman."
Sai shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya ce, “Sai da na biya kuɗi mai yawa kafin in zama ɗan ƙasa.” Bulus ya ce, “Ni kuwa an haife ni ɗan ƙasa.”
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
Waɗanda dā suke shirin yin masa tambayoyi suka ja da baya nan da nan. Shugaban ƙungiyar sojan kansa ya tsorata da ya fahimci cewa ya sa wa Bulus, ɗan ƙasar Roma sarƙa.
30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
Kashegari da yake shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya so yă tabbatar da ainihin abin da ya sa Yahudawa suke zargin Bulus, sai ya sake shi ya kuwa umarci manyan firistoci da dukan Majalisar su taru. Sa’an nan ya kawo Bulus ya sa ya tsaya a gabansu.
