1 Kusan a wannan lokaci ne Sarki Hiridus ya kama waɗansu da suke na ikkilisiya, da niyya ya tsananta musu.
And at the same time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands, to afflict some of the church.
2 Ya sa aka kashe Yaƙub, ɗan’uwan Yohanna, da takobi.
And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Sa’ad da ya ga wannan ya faranta wa Yahudawa rai, sai ya kama Bitrus shi ma. Wannan ya faru kwanakin Bikin Burodi Marar Yisti.
And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to take up Peter also. Now it was in the days of the Azymes.
4 Bayan ya kama shi, sai ya sa shi a kurkuku, ya danƙa shi a hannun soja hurhuɗu kashi huɗu, don su yi gadinsa. Hiridus ya yi niyyar ya yi masa shari’a a gaban mutane bayan Bikin Ƙetarewa.
And when he had apprehended him, he cast him into prison, delivering him to four files of soldiers to be kept, intending, after the pasch, to bring him forth to the people.
5 Saboda haka aka tsare Bitrus a kurkuku, amma ikkilisiya ta nace da addu’a ga Allah dominsa.
Peter therefore was kept in prison. But prayer was made without ceasing by the church unto God for him.
6 A daren da in gari ya waye da Hiridus yake niyyar kawo shi domin a yi masa shari’a, Bitrus yana barci tsakanin sojoji biyu, daure da sarƙoƙi biyu, masu gadi kuma suna bakin ƙofa.
And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
7 Ba zato ba tsammani sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana haske kuma ya haskaka a ɗakin. Ya bugi Bitrus a gefe ya kuma tashe shi ya ce, “Maza, ka tashi!” Sarƙoƙin kuwa suka zube daga hannuwansa.
And behold an angel of the Lord stood by him: and a light shined in the room: and he striking Peter on the side, raised him up, saying: Arise quickly. And the chains fell off from his hands.
8 Sa’an nan mala’ikan ya ce masa, “Ka sa rigunarka da takalmanka.” Bitrus kuwa ya sa. Mala’ikan ya faɗa masa cewa, “Ka yafa mayafinka ka bi ni.”
And the angel said to him: Gird thyself, and put on thy sandals. And he did so. And he said to him: Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
9 Bitrus ya bi shi suka fita kurkukun, amma bai ma san cewa abin da mala’ikan yake yi tabbatacce ne ba; yana tsammani wahayi yake gani.
And going out, he followed him, and he knew not that it was true which was done by the angel: but thought he saw a vision.
10 Suka wuce masu gadi na fari da na biyu, suka kuma isa ƙofar ƙarfe ta shiga birni. Ƙofar kuwa ta buɗe musu da kanta, suka kuma wuce. Sa’ad da suka yi tafiya tsawon wani titi, nan take mala’ikan ya bar shi.
And passing through the first and the second ward, they came to the iron gate that leadeth to the city, which of itself opened to them. And going out, they passed on through one street: and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 Sai Bitrus ya dawo hankalinsa ya ce, “Yanzu na sani ba shakka Ubangiji ne ya aiki mala’ikansa yă cece ni daga hannun Hiridus da kuma dukan mugun fatan Yahudawa.”
And Peter coming to himself, said: Now I know in very deed, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Da ya gane haka, sai ya tafi gidan Maryamu uwar Yohanna, wanda ake kuma kira Markus, inda mutane da yawa suka taru suna addu’a.
And considering, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark, where many were gathered together and praying.
13 Bitrus ya ƙwanƙwasa ƙofar waje, sai wata mai aiki a gidan da ake kira Roda ta zo tă ji ko wane ne.
And when he knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, whose name was Rhode.
14 Da ta gane muryar Bitrus, ta cika da murna ta gudu ta koma ba tare da ta buɗe ƙofar ba, sai ta koma a guje ta ce da ƙarfi, “Ga Bitrus a bakin ƙofa!”
And as soon as she knew Peter’s voice, she opened not the gate for joy, but running in she told that Peter stood before the gate.
15 Sai suka ce mata, “Kina hauka.” Da ta nace cewa shi ne, sai suka ce, “To, lalle, mala’ikansa ne.”
But they said to her: Thou art mad. But she affirmed that it was so. Then said they: It is his angel.
16 Amma Bitrus ya yi ta ƙwanƙwasawa. Da suka buɗe ƙofar suka kuma gan shi, sai suka yi mamaki.
But Peter continued knocking. And when they had opened, they saw him, and were astonished.
17 Bitrus ya yi musu alama da hannunsa su yi shiru sai ya bayyana yadda Ubangiji ya fitar da shi daga kurkuku. Ya ce, “Ku gaya wa Yaƙub da kuma’yan’uwa game da wannan,” sa’an nan ya tashi ya tafi wani wuri.
But he beckoning to them with his hand to hold their peace, told how the Lord had brought him out of prison, and he said: Tell these things to James, and to the brethren. And going out, he went into another place.
18 Da safe, hargitsin da ya tashi tsakanin sojojin ba ƙarami ba ne, a kan abin da ya sami Bitrus.
Now when day was come, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
19 Bayan Hiridus ya neme shi bai same shi ba, sai ya tuhumi masu gadin, ya kuma ba da umarni a kashe su. Sa’an nan Hiridus ya tashi daga Yahudiya ya tafi Kaisariya ya kuma yi’yan kwanaki a can.
And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not; having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there.
20 Yana da rashin jituwa da mutanen Taya da na Sidon; sai suka haɗa kai suka nemi ganawa da shi. Bayan suka sami goyon bayan Bilastus, amintaccen bawan sarki, sai suka nemi salama, domin sun dogara ga ƙasar sarkin don samun abincinsu.
And he was angry with the Tyrians and the Sidonians. But they with one accord came to him, and having gained Blastus, who was the king’s chamberlain, they desired peace, because their countries were nourished by him.
21 A ranar da aka shirya Hiridus, sanye da kayan sarautarsa, ya zauna a gadon sarautarsa ya kuma ya wa mutanen jawabi.
And upon a day appointed, Herod being arrayed in kingly apparel, sat in the judgment seat, and made an oration to them.
22 Suka tā da murya suka ce, “Wannan muryar wani allah ne, ba ta mutum ba.”
And the people made acclamation, saying: It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
23 Nan take, domin Hiridus bai yi wa Allah yabo ba, wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya buge shi, tsutsotsi kuwa suka cinye shi ya kuma mutu.
And forthwith an angel of the Lord struck him, because he had not given the honour to God: and being eaten up by worms, he gave up the ghost.
24 Amma maganar Allah ta ci gaba da ƙaruwa ta kuma bazu.
But the word of the Lord increased and multiplied.
25 Sa’ad da Barnabas da Shawulu suka kammala aikinsu, sai suka komo daga Urushalima, tare da Yohanna, wanda ake kira Markus.
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled their ministry, taking with them John, who was surnamed Mark.
