Ayyukan Manzanni 10
1 A Kaisariya akwai wani mutum mai suna Korneliyus, wani jarumin Roma ne, a ƙungiyar soja da ake kira Bataliyar Italiya.
But a certain man in Caesarea, — by name Cornelius, a centurion of the band called Italic,
2 Shi da dukan iyalinsa masu ibada ne masu tsoron Allah kuma; yakan ba da kyauta hannu sake ga masu bukata yana kuma addu’a ga Allah ba fasawa.
pious, and fearing God with all his house, [both] giving much alms to the people, and supplicating God continually,
3 Wata rana wajen ƙarfe uku na yamma ya ga wahayi. A sarari ya ga wani mala’ikan Allah, wanda ya zo wajensa ya ce, “Korneliyus!”
— saw plainly in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming unto him, and saying to him, Cornelius.
4 Korneliyus kuwa ya zura masa ido a tsorace ya ce, “Mene ne, ya Ubangiji?” Mala’ikan ya ce, “Addu’o’inka da kyautanka ga matalauta sun kai har sama, hadayar tunawa ce a gaban Allah.
But he, having fixed his eyes upon him, and become full of fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Thy prayers and thine alms have gone up for a memorial before God.
5 Yanzu sai ka aiki mutane zuwa Yoffa su dawo da wani mutum mai suna Siman wanda ake kira Bitrus.
And now send men to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter.
6 Yana zama tare da Siman, mai aikin fatu, wanda gidansa ke bakin teku.”
He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea.
7 Sa’ad da mala’ikan da ya yi masa magana ya tafi, sai Korneliyus ya kira biyu daga cikin bayinsa da kuma wani soja mai ibada wanda yake ɗaya a cikin masu yin masa hidima.
And when the angel who was speaking to him had departed, having called two of his household and a pious soldier of those who were constantly with him,
8 Ya fada musu duk abin da ya faru sa’an nan ya aike su Yoffa.
and related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
9 Wajen tsakar rana kashegari yayinda suke cikin tafiyarsu suna kuma dab da birnin, sai Bitrus ya hau bisan rufin gida yă yi addu’a.
And on the morrow, as these were journeying and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the house to pray, about the sixth hour.
10 Yunwa ta kama shi ya kuwa so yă ci wani abu, yayinda ake shirya abinci, sai wahayi ya zo masa.
And he became hungry and desired to eat. But as they were making ready an ecstasy came upon him:
11 Ya ga sama ya buɗe ana kuwa saukowa wani abu ƙasa kamar babban mayafi zuwa duniya ta kusurwansa huɗu.
and he beholds the heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending, as a great sheet, [bound] by [the] four corners [and] let down to the earth;
12 Cikinsa kuwa akwai kowace irin dabba mai ƙafa huɗu da masu ja da ciki na duniya da kuma tsuntsayen sararin sama.
in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth, and the fowls of the heaven.
13 Sa’an nan wata murya ta ce masa, “Bitrus, ka tashi. Ka yanka ka ci.”
And there was a voice to him, Rise, Peter, slay and eat.
14 Bitrus ya ce, “Sam, Ubangiji! Ban taɓa cin wani abu marar tsarki ko marar tsabta ba.”
And Peter said, In no wise, Lord; for I have never eaten anything common or unclean.
15 Muryar ta yi magana da shi sau na biyu ta ce, “Kada ka ce da abin da Allah ya tsarkake marar tsarki.”
And [there was] a voice again the second time to him, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
16 Wannan ya faru har sau uku, sai nan da nan aka ɗauke mayafin zuwa sama.
And this took place thrice, and the vessel was straightway taken up into heaven.
17 Tun Bitrus yana cikin tunani game da ma’anar wahayin nan, sai ga mutanen da Korneliyus ya aika sun sami gidan Siman suna kuma tsaye a ƙofar.
And as Peter doubted in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold also the men who were sent by Cornelius, having sought out the house of Simon, stood at the gate,
18 Suka yi sallama, suna tambaya ko Siman wanda aka sani da suna Bitrus yana zama a can.
and having called [some one], they inquired if Simon who was surnamed Peter was lodged there.
19 Yayinda Bitrus yana cikin tunani game da wahayin, sai Ruhu ya ce masa, “Siman, ga mutum uku suna nemanka.
But as Peter continued pondering over the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men seek thee;
20 Saboda haka ka tashi ka sauka. Kada ka yi wata-wata, gama ni ne na aiko su.”
but rise up, go down, and go with them, nothing doubting, because I have sent them.
21 Sai Bitrus ya sauka ya ce wa mutanen, “Ni ne kuke nema. Me ya kawo ku?”
And Peter going down to the men said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye come?
22 Mutanen suka amsa, “Mun zo ne daga wurin Korneliyus wani jarumin. Shi mutum ne mai adalci mai tsoron Allah kuma, wanda dukan Yahudawa ke girmamawa. Wani mala’ika mai tsarki ya faɗa masa, yă sa ka zo gidansa don yă ji abin da za ka faɗa.”
And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man, and fearing God, and borne witness to by the whole nation of the Jews, has been divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for thee to his house, and hear words from thee.
23 Sai Bitrus ya gayyaci mutanen cikin gida su zama baƙinsa. Kashegari Bitrus ya tafi tare da su, waɗansu’yan’uwa daga Yoffa kuwa suka tafi tare da shi.
Having therefore invited them in, he lodged them. And on the morrow, rising up he went away with them, and certain of the brethren from Joppa went with him.
24 Kashegari sai ya iso Kaisariya. Korneliyus kuwa yana nan yana jiransu, ya kuma gayyaci’yan’uwansa da abokansa na kusa.
And on the morrow they came to Caesarea. But Cornelius was looking for them, having called together his kinsmen and [his] intimate friends.
25 Da Bitrus ya shiga gidan, Korneliyus ya sadu da shi ya kuma fāɗi a gabansa cikin bangirma.
And when Peter was now coming in, Cornelius met him, and falling down did [him] homage.
26 Amma Bitrus ya sa shi ya tashi. Ya ce, “Tashi, ni mutum ne kawai.”
But Peter made him rise, saying, Rise up: I myself also am a man.
27 Yana magana da shi, sai Bitrus ya shiga ciki ya kuma tarar da taron mutane da yawa.
And he went in, talking with him, and found many gathered together.
28 Sai ya ce musu, “Ku da kanku kun san cewa dokarmu ta hana mutumin Yahuda yin cuɗanya, ko ya ziyarci Ba’al’umme. Amma Allah ya nuna mini cewa kada in kira wani mutum marar tsarki ko marar tsabta.
And he said to them, Ye know how it is unlawful for a Jew to be joined or come to one of a strange race, and to me God has shewn to call no man common or unclean.
29 Don haka sa’ad da aka aika in zo, na zo ba wata faɗa. To, ko zan san abin da ya sa ka aika in zo?”
Wherefore also, having been sent for, I came without saying anything against it. I inquire therefore for what reason ye have sent for me.
30 Korneliyus ya amsa ya ce, “Kwana huɗu da suka wuce ina a gidana ina addu’a a wannan lokaci, wajen ƙarfe uku na yamma. Ba zato ba tsammani sai ga wani mutum cikin tufafi masu walƙiya ya tsaya a gabana
And Cornelius said, Four days ago I had been [fasting] unto this hour, and the ninth [I was] praying in my house, and lo, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
31 ya ce, ‘Korneliyus, Allah ya ji addu’arka, ya kuma tuna da kyautanka ga matalauta.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer has been heard, and thy alms have come in remembrance before God.
32 Ka aika zuwa Yoffa don a kira Siman wanda ake ce da shi Bitrus. Shi baƙo ne a gidan Siman mai aikin fatu, wanda yake zama a bakin teku.’
Send therefore to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea [who when he is come will speak to thee].
33 Saboda haka na aika a zo da kai nan da nan, ya kuma yi kyau da ka zo. To ga mu duka a nan a gaban Allah don mu saurari dukan abin da Ubangiji ya umarce ka ka faɗa mana.”
Immediately therefore I sent to thee, and thou hast well done in coming. Now therefore we are all present before God to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
34 Sa’an nan Bitrus ya fara magana ya ce, “Yanzu na gane yadda gaskiya ne cewa Allah ba ya sonkai
And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,
35 amma yana karɓan mutane daga kowace al’ummar da take tsoronsa suke kuma aikata abin da yake daidai.
but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
36 Kun san saƙon da Allah ya aika wa mutanen Isra’ila, yana shelar labari mai daɗi na salama ta wurin Yesu Kiristi, shi ne kuwa Ubangijin kowa.
The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (he is Lord of all things, )
37 Kun san abin da ya faru a dukan Yahudiya, farawa daga Galili bayan baftismar da Yohanna ya yi wa’azi,
ye know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached —
38 yadda Allah ya shafe Yesu Banazare da Ruhu Mai Tsarki da kuma iko, da kuma yadda ya zaga ko’ina yana aikata alheri yana kuma warkar da dukan waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin ikon Iblis, domin Allah yana tare da shi.
Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39 “Mu kuwa shaidu ne na dukan abin da ya yi a ƙasar Yahudawa da kuma a Urushalima. Suka kashe shi ta wurin rataye shi a kan itace,
We also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.
40 amma Allah ya tashe shi daga matattu a rana ta uku, ya sa kuma aka gan shi.
This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,
41 Ba dukan mutane ne suka gan shi ba, amma ta wurin shaidun da Allah ya riga ya zaɓa, ta wurinmu da muka ci muka kuma sha tare da shi bayan tashinsa daga matattu.
not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, us who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.
42 Ya umarce mu mu yi wa’azi ga mutane mu kuma shaida cewa shi ne wanda Allah ya naɗa yă zama mai shari’a na masu rai da na matattu.
And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.
43 Duk annabawa sun yi shaida game da shi cewa duk wanda ya ba da gaskiya gare shi zai sami gafarar zunubai ta wurin sunansa.”
To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.
44 Tun Bitrus yana cikin faɗin waɗannan kalmomi, sai Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauka wa duk waɗanda suka ji saƙon.
While Peter was yet speaking these words the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were hearing the word.
45 Masu bin da suke da kaciya waɗanda suka zo tare da Bitrus suka yi mamaki cewa an ba da kyautar Ruhu Mai Tsarki har ma a kan Al’ummai.
And the faithful of the circumcision were astonished, as many as came with Peter, that upon the nations also the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out:
46 Gama sun ji su suna magana da waɗansu harsuna suna kuma yabon Allah. Sai Bitrus ya ce,
for they heard them speaking with tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
47 “Wani zai iya hana a yi wa waɗannan mutane baftisma da ruwa? Sun karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki kamar yadda muka karɓa.”
Can any one forbid water that these should not be baptised, who have received the Holy Spirit as we also [did]?
48 Saboda haka ya ba da umarni a yi musu baftisma cikin sunan Yesu Kiristi. Sa’an nan suka roƙi Bitrus yă zauna da su na’yan kwanaki.
And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord. Then they begged him to stay some days.
