< Acts 10 >
1 There was then in Caesarea a man named Cornelius, a Captain in the regiment known as the ‘Italian Regiment,’
An yi wani Mutum a birnin Kaisariya, mai suna Karniliyas, shugaban sojoji ne na kungiyar da ake kira Italiya.
2 A religious man and one who reverenced God, with all his household. He was liberal in his charities to the people, and prayed to God constantly.
Mutum ne mai ibada, wanda ya mika kansa da iyalinsa ga bautar Allah; ya kan bada taimakon kudi mai yawa ga Yahudawa, kuma yana addu'a ko yaushe ga Allah.
3 One afternoon, about three o’clock, he distinctly saw in a vision an angel from God come to him, and call him by name.
Wajen sa'a ta tara ga yini, an bayyana masa cikin wahayi mala'kan Ubangiji na zuwa gare shi sai mala'ikan ya ce masa, ''Karniliyas!''
4 Cornelius fixed his eyes on him and, in great alarm, said: “What is it, Lord?” “Your prayers and your charities,” the angel answered, “have been an acceptable offering to God.
Karniliyas ya zuba wa mala'ikan ido a tsorace ya ce ''Menene, mai gida?'' mala'ikan ya ce masa, ''Addu'ar ka da taimakon ka ga talakawa ya kai sama matsayin sadaka abin tunawa a gaban Allah,
5 And now, send messengers to Jaffa and fetch a man called Simon, who is also known as Peter.
''Yanzu ka aika mutane zuwa birnin Yafa su kawo mutum mai suna Saminu wanda ake kira Bitrus.
6 He is lodging with a tanner named Simon, who has a house near the sea.”
Yana zama tare da Saminu majemi, wanda gidansa ke bakin teku.
7 When the angel, who had spoken to him, had gone, Cornelius called two menservants and a religious soldier, who was one of his constant attendants,
Da mala'ikan da ya yi magana da shi ya tafi, Karniliyas ya kira biyu daga barorin gidansa, da kuma soja guda mai bautar Allah daga cikin sojojin da suke masa hidima.
8 and, after telling them the whole story, sent them to Jaffa.
Karniliyas ya fada masu dukan abin ya faru sai ya aike su Yafa.
9 On the next day, while these men were on their way, just as they were nearing the town, Peter went up on the housetop about mid-day to pray.
Washe gari wajen sa'a ta shida (tsakar rana) suna cikin tafiya da suka yi kusa da birni, Bitrus ya hau kan bene don ya yi addu'a.
10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat; but while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance,
Sai ya ji yunwa kuma yana bukatar wani abinda da zai ci, amma a yayin da mutanen na dafa abinci, sai ya ga wahayi.
11 and saw that the heavens were open, and that something like a great sail was descending, let down by its four corners towards the earth.
Sai ya ga sararin sama ya bude kuma wani tasa na saukowa, wani abu kamar babban mayafi yana saukowa zuwa duniya, ana zuro shi ta kusuryoyinsa hudu.
12 In it were all kinds of quadrupeds, reptiles, and birds.
A cikinsu kuwa akwai dukan halitun dabbobi masu kafa hudu da kuma masu rarrafe a duniya da tsunstayen sama.
13 Then he was aware of a voice which said — “Stand up, Peter, kill something, and eat.”
Sai murya ta yi magana da shi; “Tashi, Bitrus, yanka ka ci ''
14 “No, Lord, I cannot,” answered Peter, “for I have never eaten anything ‘defiled’ and ‘unclean’.”
Amma Bitrus ya ce ''Ba haka ba, Ubangiji, gama ban taba cin abu mara tsarki ko mai kazanta ba.”
15 Again he was aware of a voice which said — “What God has pronounced ‘clean’, do not regard as ‘defiled’.”
Amma muryar ta sake zuwa masa karo na biyu kuma; “Abinda Allah ya tsarkake, kada ka kira shi kazantacce.”
16 This happened three times, and then suddenly it was all taken up into the heavens.
Wannan ya faru sau uku; nan da nan sai aka dauki tasar zuwa sama.
17 While Peter was still perplexed as to the meaning of the vision that he had seen, the men sent by Cornelius, having enquired the way to Simon’s house, came up to the gate,
A yayin da Bitrus na cikin rudani game da ma'anar wahayin da ya gani, sai ga mutanen da Karniliyas ya aika suna tsaye a bakin kofar gidan, bayan sun tambayi hanyar zuwa gidan,
18 and called out and asked if the Simon, who was also known as Peter, was lodging there.
Kuma suka yi sallama suna tambaya ko Saminu wanda ake kira Bitrus ya sauka a nan.
19 Peter was still pondering over the vision, when the Spirit said to him: “There are two men looking for you at this moment.
A yayin da Bitrus yana kan tunani akan wahayin, Ruhu ya ce masa, “Duba, mutane uku na neman ka.”
20 Go down at once and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.”
Tashi ka sauka ka tafi tare da su. Kada ka yi jinkirin tafiya tare da su, domin Nine na aike su.”
21 Peter went down to the men and said: “I am the man for whom you are looking. What is your reason for coming?”
Bitrus kuwa ya sauko wurin mutanen ya ce, “Ni ne wanda kuke nema. Me ya sa kuka zo?”
22 The men replied: “Our captain, Cornelius, a pious man who reverences God and is well spoken of by the whole Jewish nation, has been instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house, and to listen to what you have to say.”
Suka ce, “Shugaban soja mai suna Karniliyas, adalin mutum kuma mai bautar Allah, yana da kyakkyawar shaida a dukan al'umman Yahudawa, shi ne wanda mala'ika mai tsarki na Allah ya aika domin ka zo gidansa, ya ji sako daga wurinka.”
23 Upon this Peter invited them in and entertained them. The next day he lost no time in setting out with them, accompanied by some of the Brethren from Jaffa;
Sai Bitrus ya gayyace su su zo ciki kuma su zauna tare da shi. Washegari sai ya tafi tare da su, kuma wadansu 'yan'uwa daga Yafa suka raka shi.
24 and the day following he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them, and had invited his relations and intimate friends to meet them.
Kashegari suka shiga Kaisariya, Karniliyas kuwa yana jiran su; har ma ya gayyaci 'yan'uwansa da kuma abokansa na kusa.
25 So, when Peter entered the city, Cornelius met him, and, throwing himself at Peter’s feet, bowed to the ground.
Ya kasance sa'adda Bitrus ya shiga, Karniliyas ya sadu da shi kuma ya durkusa ya yi masa sujada.
26 Peter, however, lifted him up, saying as he did so: “Stand up, I am only a man like yourself.”
Amma Bitrus ya tashe shi yana cewa, “Tashi tsaye! Ni ma mutum ne.”
27 Talking with him as he went, Peter entered the house, where he found a large gathering of people, to whom he said:
A lokacin da Bitrus yake magana da shi, ya shiga ciki sai ya tarar da mutane da yawa sun taru a wuri daya.
28 “You are doubtless aware that it is forbidden for a Jew to be intimate with a foreigner, or even to enter his house; and yet God has shown me that I ought not to call any man ‘defiled’ or ‘unclean.’
Ya ce masu, “Ku da kanku kun sani bai dace Bayahuden mutum ya yi ma'amulla ko ya ziyarci wani ko wata kabila ba. Amma Allah ya ce da ni kada in ce da kowa mara tsarki ko kazantacce.
29 That was why I came, when I was sent for, without raising any objection. And now I ask your reason for sending for me.”
Wannan shine yasa na zo ba tare da musu ba, a lokacin da kuka kira ni. Don haka na tambaye ku me ya sa kuka aika in zo.”
30 “Just three days ago this very hour,” Cornelius said, “I was in my house, saying the Afternoon Prayers, when a man in dazzling clothing suddenly stood before me.
Karniliyas ya ce “Kwanaki hudu da sun wuce a daidai wannan lokaci, ina addu'a da cikin sa'a na tara (karfe uku) a gidana, sai na ga mutum tsaye a gabana da tufafi mai haske.
31 ‘Cornelius,’ he said, ‘your prayer has been heard, and your charities have been accepted, by God.
Ya ce, “Karniliyas, Allah ya ji addu'ar ka, kuma taimakon ka ga talakawa ya tuna ma Allah da kai.
32 Therefore send to Jaffa, and invite the Simon, who is also known as Peter, to come here. He is lodging in the house of Simon the tanner, near the sea.’
Saboda haka ka aika da wani Yafa, ya kira maka mutum mai suna Saminu wanda ake kira Bitrus. Yana zama a gidan Saminu majemi, da ke bakin teku.
33 Accordingly I sent to you at once, and you have been so good as to come. And now we are all here in the presence of God, to listen to all that you have been instructed by the Lord to say.”
[Idan ya zo, zai yi magana da kai.]
34 Then Peter began. “I see, beyond all doubt,” he said, “that ‘God does not show partiality,’
Sai Bitrus ya bude bakinsa ya ce, “Gaskiya, na fahimci Allah baya nuna bambanci.
35 But that in every nation he who reverences him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
Maimakon haka, cikin kowace al'umma duk mai ibada kuma mai aikata adalci karbabbe ne a gare shi.
36 God has sent his Message to the Israelites and told them, through Jesus Christ, the Good News of peace — and Jesus is Lord of all!
Ku kun san sakon da ya aika wa mutanen Isra'ila, a lokacin da ya sanar da labarin mai kyau na salama ta wurin Yesu Kristi, wanda shine Ubangiji na duka.
37 You yourselves know the story which spread through all Judea, how, beginning form Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed —
Ku da kanku kun san al'amuran da suka kasance, wanda ya faru cikin Yahudiya, farawa daga Galili, bayan sanarwar baftismar da Yahaya ya yi.
38 The story, I mean, of Jesus of Nazareth, and how God consecrated him his Christ by enduing him with the Holy Spirit and with power; and how he went about doing good and curing all who were under the power of the Devil, because God was with him.
Al'amura game da Yesu Banazare, yadda Allah ya kebe shi da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da iko kuma. Ya kuma ci gaba da aikin alheri da warkarwa ga dukan wadanda shaidan ya daure, domin Allah yana tare da shi.
39 We are ourselves, too, witnesses to all that he did in Judea and in Jerusalem; yet they put him to death by hanging him on a cross!
Mu shaidu ne ga dukan abubuwan da ya yi a kasar Yahudawa da cikn Urushalima, wannan Yesu wanda suka kashe, ta wurin giciye shi a akan itace.
40 This Jesus God raised on the third day, and enabled him to appear,
Wannan mutumin, Allah ya ta da shi rana ta uku ya kuma maishe shi sananne,
41 not indeed to every one, but to witnesses chosen beforehand by God — to us, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from the dead.
ba ga dukan mutane ba, amma ga shaidun da Allah ya zaba tun da farko - mu kanmu, wadanda muka ci muka sha tare da shi bayan tashin sa daga matattu,
42 Further, God charged us to proclaim to the people, and solemnly affirm, that it is Jesus who has been appointed by God Judge of the living and the dead.
Ya umarce mu mu yi wa mutane wa'azi mu kuma tabbatar cewa shine wanda Allah ya zaba ya yi shariya bisa masu rai da matattu.
43 To him it is that all the Prophets bear witness, when they say that every one who believes in him receives through his Name forgiveness of sins.”
Gareshi ne dukan annabawa suka yi shaida, domin dukan wanda ya bada gaskiya gareshi ya sami gafarar zunubai ta wurin sunansa.`
44 Before Peter had finished saying these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all who were listening to the Message.
Sa'adda Bitrus yana kan magana game da wadannan abubuwa, Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauko a kan dukan wadanda suke sauraron wa'azin sa.
45 Those converts from Judaism, who had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been bestowed even upon the Gentiles;
Mutanen da ke kungiyar masu bi da suka yarda da kaciya, dukan wadanda suka zo tare da Bitrus suka yi mamaki, domin baiwar Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauko a kan al'ummai.
46 for they heard them speaking with ‘tongues’ and extolling God. At this Peter asked:
Domin sun ji al'umman nan suna magana da wasu harsuna suna yabon Allah. Sai Bitrus ya amsa,
47 “Can any one refuse the water for the baptism of these people, now that they have received the Holy Spirit as we did ourselves?”
“Ko akwai wanda zai hana wa wadannan baftisma ta ruwa, da shike suma sun karbi Ruhu Mai Tsarki kamar mu?”
48 And he directed that they should be baptized in the Faith of Jesus Christ; after which they asked him to stay there a few days longer.
Sai ya ba da umarni a yi masu baftisma cikin sunan Yesu Kristi. Sai suka roke shi ya kasance da su na wasu kwanaki.
