Ayyukan Manzanni 10
1 A Kaisariya akwai wani mutum mai suna Korneliyus, wani jarumin Roma ne, a ƙungiyar soja da ake kira Bataliyar Italiya.
Now there was a certain man at Cesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band: a pious man,
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.
and one that feared God, with all his house; giving also much alms to the people, and praying to 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!”
He evidently saw in a vision, about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto 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.
and he looking earnestly at him, and being afraid, said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up as 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 hither one Simon, whose sirname is Peter.
6 Yana zama tare da Siman, mai aikin fatu, wanda gidansa ke bakin teku.”
He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea-side: he shall tell thee what thou must do.
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.
As soon as the angel, that spake to Cornelius, was departed, he called two of his domestic servants, and a devout soldier, that constantly attended him.
8 Ya fada musu duk abin da ya faru sa’an nan ya aike su Yoffa.
And when he had related all 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.
On the morrow, while they were on their journey, and drawing near to the city, Peter went up on the top of 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 was very hungry, and desired something to eat: but while they were getting it ready, he fell into a trance; and saw heaven opened,
11 Ya ga sama ya buɗe ana kuwa saukowa wani abu ƙasa kamar babban mayafi zuwa duniya ta kusurwansa huɗu.
and some thing descending to him, like a great sheet tied at 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 kinds of four-footed creatures, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13 Sa’an nan wata murya ta ce masa, “Bitrus, ka tashi. Ka yanka ka ci.”
And there was a voice which said to him, Rise, Peter, kill and eat.
14 Bitrus ya ce, “Sam, Ubangiji! Ban taɓa cin wani abu marar tsarki ko marar tsabta ba.”
But Peter said, By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing polluted 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 the voice said to him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, do not thou account polluted.
16 Wannan ya faru har sau uku, sai nan da nan aka ɗauke mayafin zuwa sama.
This was done thrice, and the vessel was taken up again 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.
Now while Peter was doubting in himself what might be the meaning of the vision which he had seen, behold the men that were sent from Cornelius, having enquired for Simon's house, stood at the door;
18 Suka yi sallama, suna tambaya ko Siman wanda aka sani da suna Bitrus yana zama a can.
and called, and asked, if Simon sirnamed Peter lodged there.
19 Yayinda Bitrus yana cikin tunani game da wahayin, sai Ruhu ya ce masa, “Siman, ga mutum uku suna nemanka.
And as Peter was pondering upon the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold there are three men enquiring for thee:
20 Saboda haka ka tashi ka sauka. Kada ka yi wata-wata, gama ni ne na aiko su.”
arise therefore and go down, and go along with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.
21 Sai Bitrus ya sauka ya ce wa mutanen, “Ni ne kuke nema. Me ya kawo ku?”
Then Peter went down to the men that were sent to him from Cornelius, and said, Behold I am the person whom ye seek: what is the cause for which ye are 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 the centurion, a righteous man, and one that feareth God, and of a good character among all the nation of the Jews, hath been warned from God by an holy angel, to send for thee to his house, and to hear what thou shalt say.
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.
Then he invited them in, and entertained them that night. And on the morrow Peter set out with them; and some 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 the next day they came into Cesarea; and Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relations and intimate friends.
25 Da Bitrus ya shiga gidan, Korneliyus ya sadu da shi ya kuma fāɗi a gabansa cikin bangirma.
And as Peter came in, Cornelius met him, and falling down at his feet did him reverence.
26 Amma Bitrus ya sa shi ya tashi. Ya ce, “Tashi, ni mutum ne kawai.”
But Peter raised him up, saying, 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 as he was conversing with him, he went in, and found many assembled 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 unto them, Ye know how unlawful it is for a man that is a Jew, to associate with or go to the house of one of another nation: but God hath shewn me, that I should not call any man polluted 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?”
And therefore I came to you, when I was sent for, without demur. I ask therefore on what account ye 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 was fasting till this hour, and at the ninth hour I was praying in my house, when behold a man stood before me in bright raiment,
31 ya ce, ‘Korneliyus, Allah ya ji addu’arka, ya kuma tuna da kyautanka ga matalauta.
and said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are remembered 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 call hither Simon, who is sirnamed Peter, (he lodgeth in the house of one Simon a tanner, by the sea-side, ) who when he cometh, will talk with 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 done well that thou art come. And now we are all here present before God, to hear all the things which God hath charged thee with to us.
34 Sa’an nan Bitrus ya fara magana ya ce, “Yanzu na gane yadda gaskiya ne cewa Allah ba ya sonkai
Then Peter opened his mouth and 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 feareth Him, and worketh 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.
According to the declaration which He made to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37 Kun san abin da ya faru a dukan Yahudiya, farawa daga Galili bayan baftismar da Yohanna ya yi wa’azi,
Ye know the report that was spread through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
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.
how God anointed Him with the holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed by the devil: for 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,
And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the country of Judea, and in the city of Jerusalem: whom notwithstanding they put to death, hanging Him on a tree.
40 amma Allah ya tashe shi daga matattu a rana ta uku, ya sa kuma aka gan shi.
Him God raised up the third day, and gave Him to be seen openly; not to all the people,
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.
but to witnesses before appointed by God, even to us, who did eat and drink with Him, after He rose from 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 unto the people, and to testify that it is He who is appointed by God to be judge of the living and of the 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 do all the prophets bear witness, that whosoever believeth on Him shall receive the forgiveness of their sins through his name.
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 them that heard 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 those of the circumcision that were believers, who came with Peter, were astonished, that the gift of the holy Spirit was conferred upon the Gentiles also:
46 Gama sun ji su suna magana da waɗansu harsuna suna kuma yabon Allah. Sai Bitrus ya ce,
for they heard them speaking in divers languages, and glorifying God.
47 “Wani zai iya hana a yi wa waɗannan mutane baftisma da ruwa? Sun karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki kamar yadda muka karɓa.”
Then said Peter, Can any one forbid water, that these persons should not be baptized, who have received the holy Spirit, as well as we?
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 ordered them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. And they desired him to stay there some days.
