Acts 8
1 Saul approved of his being put to death. On that very day a great persecution broke out against the church which was in Jerusalem; and its members, with the exception of the apostles, were all scattered over the districts of Judea and Samaria.
Bulus ya amince da mutuwarsa. A wannan rana tsanani mai zafi ya fara tasowa akan Iklisiya da take a Urushalima, sai masu bangaskiya duka suka bazu ko ina a cikin garuruwan Yahudiya da Samariya, sai manzannin kadai aka bari.
2 Some religious men buried Stephen, with loud lamentations for him.
Amintattun mutane suka bizne Istifanus suka yi babban makoki game da shi.
3 But Saul began to devastate the church; he entered house after house, dragged out men and women alike, and threw them into prison.
Amma Shawulu ya yi wa Iklisiya mugunta kwarai, ya dinga shiga gida gida yana jawo mutane maza da mata, kuma yana kulle su cikin kurkuku.
4 Now those who were scattered in different directions went from place to place proclaiming the good news.
Duk da haka masu bangaskiyar nan da suka warwatsu suka tafi suka dinga yada wa'azin maganar.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and there began to preach the Christ.
Filibus ya tafi can Samariya ya yi shelar Almasihu.
6 The people, one and all, listened attentively to what Philip told them, when they heard of, and saw, the miracles which he was working.
Da taron mutane suka ji kuma suka ga alamun da Filibus yake yi, sai suka mai da hankali dukansu domin su ji abinda yake fadi.
7 For there were many instances of people with foul spirits, where the spirits, with loud screams, came out of them; and many who were paralyzed or lame were cured,
Domin kazaman ruhohi sun fito daga cikin mutane da yawa da suka saurare shi suna kuka da kururuwa; nakasassun mutane dayawa da guragu suka warke.
8 so that there was great rejoicing throughout that city.
Kuma aka yi farin ciki mai girma a birnin.
9 There was staying in the city a man named Simon, who had been practicing magic there and mystifying the Samaritan people, giving himself out to be some great being.
Amma akwai wani mutum a cikin birnin da ake kira Siman, wanda tun farko shi masafi ne da kuma dan dabo, yana yi wa mutanen Samariya abubuwan ban mamaki, yayin da yake kiran kansa wani mai muhimmanci.
10 Everyone, high and low, paid attention to him. ‘This man,’ they used to say, ‘must be that power of God which people call “The Great Power.”’
Dukan Samariyawa, manya da yara, suna sauraronsa, su kan ce, ''Wannan mutum shine ikon Allahn nan wanda ake kira mai girma.''
11 And they paid attention to him because they had for a long time been mystified by his magic arts.
Suna sauraron sa, domin ya dade yana yi masu abubuwan mamaki da tsafe-tsafensa.
12 However, when they came to believe Philip, as he told them the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Amma da suka yi bangaskiya da wa'azin bisharar da Filibus yake yi game da mulkin Allah da sunan Yesu Almasihu, sai aka yi masu Baftisma dukansu maza da mata.
13 Even Simon believed, and after his baptism attached himself to Philip, and was in his turn mystified at seeing signs and great miracles constantly occurring.
Har shima Siman da kansa ya ba da gaskiya. Bayan an yi masa Baftisma ya cigaba da bin Filibus, da ya ga ana nuna alamu da manyan ayyuka, sai ya yi mamaki.
14 When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that the Samaritans had welcomed God’s message, they sent Peter and John to them;
Da manzannin da ke Urushalima suka ji labarin Samariya ta karbi maganar Allah, sai suka aika masu Bitrus da Yahaya.
15 and they, on their arrival, prayed that the Samaritans might receive the Holy Spirit.
Da suka iso, suka yi masu addu'a, domin su karbi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
16 (As yet the Spirit had not descended on any of them; they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus).
Domin har wannan lokaci, Ruhu Mai Tsarki bai sauko kan kowannensu ba; an dai yi masu baftisma ne kadai cikin sunan Ubangiji Yesu.
17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Sai Bitrus da Yahaya suka dora masu hannuwansu, sai suka karbi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
18 When Simon saw that it was through the placing of the apostles’ hands on them that the Spirit was given, he brought them a sum of money and said,
Sa'adda Siman yaga ana bayar da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ta wurin dorawar hannuwan manzanni, ya basu kudi.
19 “Give me also this power of yours, so that, if I place my hands on anyone, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Ya ce, “Ku bani wannan iko, ni ma, don duk wanda na dora wa hannu ya karbi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.''
20 “A curse on you and on your silver,” Peter exclaimed, “for thinking that God’s free gift can be bought with money!
Amma Bitrus yace masa, ''Azurfarka ta lalace tare da kai, saboda kana tunanin za ka malaki baiwar Ubangiji da kudi.
21 You have no share or part in our message, for your heart is not right with God.
Baka da wani rabo a wannan al'amari, domin zuciyarka ba daidai take da Allah ba.
22 Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, that, if possible, you may be forgiven for such a thought;
Saboda haka ka tuba daga wannan muguntarka, ka kuma yi addu'a ga Ubangiji, domin mai yiwuwa ya gafarta maka game da manufar zuciyarka.
23 for I see that you have fallen into the bitterness of envy and the fetters of sin.”
Domin na gane kana cikin bacin rai da kuma cikin daurin zunubi.''
24 “Pray to the Lord for me, all of you,” Simon answered, “so that none of the things you have spoken of may happen to me.”
Siman ya amsa ya ce, ''Kayi addu'a ga Ubangiji domina, kada wani daga cikin abubuwan nan da ka fada ya faru da ni.''
25 Peter and John, having borne their testimony and delivered the Lord’s message, returned to Jerusalem, telling the good news, as they went, in many Samaritan villages.
Sa'anda Bitrus da Yahaya suka bada shaida kuma suka fadi maganar Ubangiji, sun koma Urushalima; akan hanya, suka yi wa'azin bishara a kauyukan samariyawa da yawa.
26 Meanwhile an angel of the Lord had said to Philip, “Set out on a journey southwards, along the road that runs down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (It is now deserted).
Yanzu kuwa Mala'ikan Ubangiji ya yi wa Filibus magana cewa, ''Tashi ka tafi ta kudu da hanyar da ta yi kasa daga Urushalima zuwa Gaza'' (wannan hanyar yana cikin hamada.)
27 So Philip set out on a journey; and on his way he came on an official of high rank, in the service of Candace, Queen of the Abyssinians. He was her treasurer, and had been to Jerusalem to worship,
Ya kuwa tashi ya tafi. Sai ga wani mutum daga Habasha, baba ne mai babban matsayi a karkashin Kandakatu, sarauniyar Habasha. Shine yake mulkin dukan dukiyarta. Ya zo Urushalima domin ya yi ibada.
28 and was now on his way home, sitting in his carriage and reading the prophet Isaiah.
Yana komawa zaune cikin karussarsa, kuma yana karanta Littafin annabi Ishaya.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go up to the carriage over there and keep close to it.”
Ruhun ya ce wa Filibus, ''Ka je kusa da karussar nan.''
30 So Philip ran up, and he heard the Abyssinian reading the prophet Isaiah. “Do you understand what you are reading?” he asked.
Sai Filibus ya gudu ya same shi, kuma ya ji shi yana karanta littafin annabi Ishaya, sai ya ce, ''Ka fahimci abin da kake karantawa?''
31 “How can I,” the other answered, “unless someone will explain it to me?” and he invited Philip to get up and sit by his side.
Bahabashen ya ce. ''Yaya zan iya, idan ba wani ya bishe ni ba?'' Ya roki Filibus ya shigo cikin karussar ya zauna tare da shi.
32 The passage of scripture which he was reading was this – ‘Like a sheep, he was led away to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in the hands of its shearer, so he refrains from opening his lips.
Wannan kuwa shine nassin da Bahabashen yake karantawa, ''An kai shi kamar tunkiya zuwa mayanka; shiru kuma, kamar dan rago a hannun masu sosayarsa, bai bude baki ba.
33 He was humiliated and justice was denied him. Who will tell the story of his generation? For his life is cut off from earth.’
Cikin kaskancinsa aka yi masa shari'a da rashin adalci: Wa zai bada tarihin tsararsa? Domin an dauke ransa daga duniya.''
34 “Now,” said the Treasurer, addressing Philip, “tell me, of whom is the prophet speaking? Of himself, or of someone else?”
Sai baban ya tambayi Filibus, ya ce, ''Na roke ka, gaya mani, game da wa annabin yake magana? Da kansa, ko kuwa wani mutum dabam?''
35 Then Philip began, and, taking this passage as his text, told him the good news about Jesus.
Filibus ya fara magana; akan littafin Ishaya, ya kuwa yi masa wa'azi akan Yesu.
36 Presently, as they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the Treasurer exclaimed, “Look! Here is water; what is to prevent my being baptized?”
Yayin da suke tafiya akan hanya, sai suka iso bakin wani kogi; Baban ya ce, “Duba, ga ruwa anan; me zai hana ayi mani baftisma?”
Filibus ya ce,” Idan ka gaskanta da zuciya daya, ana iya yi maka baftisma.” Sai Bahabashen ya ce, “Na gaskata Yesu Almasihu shine Dan Allah.”
38 So he ordered the carriage to stop, and they went down into the water – both Philip and the Treasurer – and Philip baptized him.
Sai Bahabashen ya umarta a tsai da karussar. Sai suka zo wurin ruwa dukan su biyu, Filibus da baban, Filibus kuwa yayi masa baftisma.
39 But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the Treasurer saw no more of him; for he continued his journey with a joyful heart.
Yayin da suka fito daga cikin ruwan, Ruhun Ubangiji ya dauke Filibus; baban bai sake ganin shi ba, sai ya ci gaba da tafiyar sa yana murna.
40 But Philip was found at Ashdod, and, as he went on his way, he told the good news in all the towns through which he passed, until he came to Caesarea.
Amma Filibus ya bayyana a Azotus. Ya ratsa wannan yankin yana wa'azin bishara a dukan garuruwan, har sa'anda ya iso Kaisariya.
