1 A littafina na farko, Tiyofilus, na rubuta game da dukan abin da Yesu ya fara yi, da abin da ya koyar
The first account I prepared, Theophilus [God-lover], concerned all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2 har zuwa ranar da aka ɗauke shi zuwa sama, bayan ya ba da umarnai ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ga manzannin da ya zaɓa.
until the day in which He was taken back, after He had given commandment, by Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom He had chosen;
3 Bayan wahalarsa, ya bayyana kansa ga waɗannan mutane ya kuma ba da tabbatattun alamu masu yawa cewa yana da rai. Ya bayyana a gare su har kwana arba’in ya kuma yi musu magana game da mulkin Allah.
to whom He also showed Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing evidences, appearing to them during forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
4 A wani lokaci, yayinda yake ci tare da su, ya ba su wannan umarni, “Kada ku bar Urushalima, amma ku jira kyautar da Ubana ya yi alkawari, wadda kuka ji na yi magana a kai.
And being together He directed them not to go away from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “which you heard from me;
5 Gama Yohanna ya yi baftisma daruwa, amma a cikin’yan kwanaki za a yi muku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.”
John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Saboda haka, sa’ad da suka taru, sai suka tambaye shi, “Ubangiji, a wannan lokaci za ka mayar da mulki ga Isra’ila?”
Well then, being together they asked Him saying, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 Ya ce musu, “Ba naku ba ne ku san lokuta ko ranakun da Uban ya shirya cikin ikonsa.
So He said to them: “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has placed within His own authority.
8 Amma ku za ku karɓi iko sa’ad da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauka a kanku; za ku kuma zama shaiduna cikin Urushalima, da kuma cikin dukan Yahudiya da Samariya, zuwa kuma iyakar duniya.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to me—both in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and even to the last part of the earth.”
9 Bayan ya faɗi wannan, sai aka ɗauke shi sama a idanunsu sai wani girgije ya rufe shi daga ganinsu.
Upon saying these things, as they watched, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.
10 Suna zuba ido a bisa, zuwa cikin sararin sama yayinda yake tafiya, nan da nan, sai ga mutane biyu saye da fararen riguna tsaye kusa da su.
And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;
11 Sai suka ce, “Mutanen Galili, don me kuke tsaye a nan kuna duban sararin sama? Wannan Yesu, wanda aka ɗauke daga gare ku zuwa sama, zai komo daidai yadda kuka ga ya tafi sama.”
and they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the sky? This very Jesus who is being taken up from you into the sky, He will come again in the precise manner that you observed Him going into the sky.”
12 Sai suka koma Urushalima daga tudun da ake kira Dutsen Zaitun, tafiyar ranar Asabbaci guda daga birnin.
They then returned to Jerusalem from the mount called ‘of Olives’, which is near Jerusalem (a Sabbath day's journey).
13 Da suka iso, sai suka hau gidan sama, zuwa ɗakin da suke zama. Waɗanda suka kasance kuwa su ne, Bitrus, Yohanna, Yaƙub da Andarawus; Filibus da Toma; Bartolomeyu da Mattiyu; Yaƙub ɗan Alfayus da Siman Zilot, da kuma Yahuda ɗan Yaƙub.
When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying: namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James.
14 Waɗannan duka suka duƙufa cikin addu’a, tare da waɗansu mata da Maryamu mahaifiyar Yesu, da kuma tare da’yan’uwansa.
All these were continuing with one purpose in prayer and petition, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 A waɗancan kwanakin Bitrus ya miƙe tsaye cikin’yan’uwa masu bi (taron da ya yi kusan mutum ɗari da ashirin)
Well in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (the number of people assembled there was about 120) and said:
16 ya ce, “’Yan’uwana, dole a cika Nassin nan da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya yi magana tun da daɗewa ta bakin Dawuda game da Yahuda, wanda ya zama jagora ga waɗanda suka kama Yesu
“Men, brothers: It was necessary that this Scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by David's mouth concerning Judas, who was guide to those who arrested Jesus;
17 dā shi ɗaya ne cikinmu, ya kuma yi hidima a cikin aikin nan.”
in that he was numbered with us and obtained his share in this ministry.”
18 (Da ladar da ya samu saboda muguntarsa Yahuda ya sayi wani fili; a can ya fāɗi da kā, jikinsa ya fashe, hanjinsa kuma duk suka zubo.
(In fact this man acquired a field with the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle, and all his innards were spilled out.
19 Kowa a Urushalima ya ji game da wannan, saboda haka suka kira wannan filin Akeldama, da yarensu, wato, Filin Jini.)
And it became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field came to be called ‘Akeldama’, that is, ‘Field of Blood’.)
20 Bitrus ya ce, “Gama yana a rubuce a cikin Littafin Zabura cewa, “‘Bari wurinsa yă zama babu kowa; kada kowa ya zauna a cikinsa,’ kuma, “‘Bari wani ya ɗauki matsayinsa na shugabanci.’
“Because it stands written in Book of Psalms: ‘Let his residence become desolate, and may no one live in it’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 Saboda haka dole a zaɓi ɗaya daga cikin mutanen da suke tare da mu duk lokacin da Ubangiji Yesu yake shiga da fita a cikinmu,
So then, of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 farawa daga baftisma ta Yohanna har zuwa sa’ad da aka ɗauke Yesu daga gare mu. Gama dole ɗaya daga waɗannan ya zama shaidar tashinsa daga matattu tare da mu.”
beginning from the baptism of John until the day when He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Saboda haka suka gabatar da mutane biyu. Yusuf mai suna Barsabbas (da aka kuma sani da Yustus) da kuma Mattiyas.
So they nominated two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Sai suka yi addu’a suka ce, “Ubangiji, ka san zuciyar kowa. Nuna mana wanne a cikin waɗannan biyu da ka zaɓa
And praying they said: “You, Lord, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen
25 ya karɓi wannan aikin manzanci, wanda Yahuda ya bari don yă tafi wurin da yake nasa.”
to receive the portion of this ministry and apostleship, out of which Judas turned aside to go into his own place.”
26 Sa’an nan suka jefa ƙuri’u, ƙuri’ar kuwa ta fāɗo a kan Mattiyas; sai aka sa shi cikin manzannin nan goma sha ɗaya.
And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
