Ayyukan Manzanni 16
1 Bulus ya kai Derbe sa’an nan kuma zuwa Listira, inda wani almajiri mai suna Timoti yake da zama, wanda mahaifiyarsa mutuniyar Yahuda ce kuma mai bi ce, amma mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
2 ’Yan’uwa a Listira da Ikoniyum sun yi magana mai kyau ƙwarai a kansa.
A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Bulus ya so ya ɗauke shi a tafiyar, saboda haka ya yi masa kaciya, domin Yahudawan da suke da zama a wurin, don duk sun san cewa mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Yayinda suke tafiya daga gari zuwa gari, suka dinga ba da shawarwarin da manzanni da dattawa a Urushalima suka zartar domin mutane su kiyaye.
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
5 Saboda haka ikkilisiyoyi suka ginu cikin bangaskiya suka kuma yi girma suka yi ta ƙaruwa kowace rana.
Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
6 Bulus da abokan tafiyarsa suka zazzaga dukan yankin Firjiya da Galatiya, don Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya hana su yin wa’azi a lardin Asiya.
When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 Da suka isa kan iyakar Misiya, suka yi ƙoƙari su shiga Bitiniya, amma Ruhun Yesu bai yarda musu ba.
and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
8 Saboda haka suka ratsa Misiya suka zo Toruwas.
But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Da dare Bulus ya ga wahayin wani mutumin Makidoniya yana tsaye yana roƙonsa cewa, “Ka zo Makidoniya ka taimake mu.”
And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us.
10 Bayan Bulus ya ga wahayin, muka shirya nan take mu tashi zuwa Makidoniya, mun tabbata cewa, Allah ya kira mu mu yi musu wa’azin bishara.
After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Daga Toruwas muka tashi zuwa teku muka kuma shiga jirgin ruwa muka miƙe kai tsaye zuwa Samotiras, kashegari kuma muka nufi Neyafolis.
Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
12 Daga can muka tafi Filibbi, wata babbar alkaryar Roma wadda kuma take babban birni a gundumar Makidoniya. Muka zauna a can kwanaki masu yawa.
and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
13 A Asabbaci, muka fita ƙofar birnin zuwa bakin kogi, inda muke tsammani za mu sami wurin yin addu’a. Muka zauna muka fara yin wa matan da suka taru a can magana.
and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 Ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka saurare mu mace ce mai suna Lidiya, mai sayar da yadunan jan garura masu tsada daga birnin Tiyatira, mai yi wa Allah sujada. Ubangiji ya buɗe zuciyarta har ta karɓi saƙon Bulus.
And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
15 Da aka yi mata baftisma tare da iyalin gidanta, sai ta gayyace mu zuwa gidanta. Ta ce, “In kun amince ni mai bi ce cikin Ubangiji, sai ku zo ku sauka a gidana.” Sai ta kuwa rinjaye mu.
And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.
16 Wata rana muna tafiya zuwa wurin yin addu’a, sai muka sadu da wata baranya mai ruhun aljani mai duba. Takan samo wa mutanenta kuɗi da yawa, duban da take yi.
And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
17 Wannan yarinya kuwa ta bi Bulus da kuma sauranmu, tana ihu tana cewa, “Waɗannan mutane bayin Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ne, suna sanar da ku hanyar ceto.”
She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the way of salvation.
18 Ta yi ta faɗin haka har kwanaki masu yawa. A ƙarshe Bulus ya damu ƙwarai sai ya juya ya ce wa aljanin, “A cikin sunan Yesu Kiristi na umarce ka, ka rabu da ita!” Nan take aljanin ya rabu da ita.
And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Da iyayengijin baranyar suka ga hanyar samun kuɗinsu ta toshe, sai suka kama Bulus da Sila suka ja su zuwa cikin kasuwa don su fuskanci hukuma.
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to the rulers.
20 Sai suka kawo su a gaban alƙalai suka ce, “Waɗannan Yahudawa ne, suna kuma birkitar mana da gari,
And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
21 ta wurin koyar da al’adun da ba daidai ba ne mu Romawa mu karɓa ko mu aikata.”
and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
22 Sai taron suka fāɗa wa Bulus da Sila gaba ɗaya, alƙalan kuwa suka yi umarni a tuɓe su a kuma yi musu dūka.
And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
23 Bayan an yi musu bulala sosai, sai aka jefa su cikin kurkuku, aka umarci mai gadin kurkukun yă tsare su da kyau.
And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
24 Da karɓan irin umarnan nan, sai ya sa su can cikin ɗakin kurkuku na ciki-ciki, kuma ya ɗaura ƙafafunsu a turu.
And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Wajen tsakar dare Bulus da Sila suna addu’a suna rera waƙoƙi ga Allah, sauran’yan kurkuku kuwa suna sauraronsu.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Ba zato ba tsammani sai aka yi wata babbar girgizar ƙasa har tushen ginin kurkukun ya jijjiga. Nan da nan sai duk ƙofofin kurkukun suka bubbuɗe, sarƙoƙin kowa kuma suka ɓaɓɓalle.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
27 Mai gadin kurkukun ya farka daga barci, sa’ad da ya ga ƙofofin kurkukun a buɗe, sai ya zāre takobinsa yana shirin kashe kansa domin ya ɗauka’yan kurkukun sun gudu.
And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28 Amma Bulus ya yi ihu ya ce, “Kada ka yi wa kanka lahani! Dukanmu muna nan!”
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Mai gadin kurkukun ya kira a kawo fitilu, ya ruga ciki ya fāɗi yana rawan jiki a gaban Bulus da Sila.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
30 Sai ya fito da su waje ya kuma tambaye su ya ce, “Ranku yă daɗe, me zan yi domin in sami ceto?”
and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Suka amsa suka ce, “Ka gaskata da Ubangiji Yesu, za ka sami ceto, kai da iyalinka.”
They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
32 Sa’an nan suka yi masa maganar Ubangiji shi da kuma dukan sauran da suke a gidansa.
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
33 A wannan sa’a na daren, mai gadin kurkukun ya ɗauke su ya wanke musu raunukansu; nan take aka yi masa baftisma da dukan iyalinsa.
And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
34 Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya kawo su cikin gidansa ya ba su abinci; ya kuwa cika da murna don yă gaskata da Allah, shi da dukan iyalinsa.
And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
35 Da gari ya waye, sai alƙalan suka aika ma’aikatansu wajen mai gadin kurkukun da umarni cewa, “Ka saki mutanen nan.”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
36 Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya gaya wa Bulus cewa, “Alƙalai sun ba da umarni a sake ku kai da Sila. Yanzu sai ku tafi. Ku sauka lafiya.”
And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. Now, therefore, come out, and go in peace.
37 Amma Bulus ya ce wa ma’aikatan, “Sun yi mana dūka a fili ba tare da shari’a ba, ko da yake mu’yan ƙasar Roma ne, suka kuma jefa mu cikin kurkuku. Yanzu suna so su fitar da mu a ɓoye? A’a! Sai dai su zo da kansu su rako mu waje.”
But Paul said to them: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead us out.
38 Sai ma’aikatan suka faɗa wa alƙalan wannan, da suka ji cewa Bulus da Sila Romawa ne, sai suka ji tsoro.
And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Sai suka zo don su roƙe su, suka yi musu rakiya daga kurkukun, suna roƙonsu su bar birnin.
and they came, and entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
40 Bayan Bulus da Sila suka fita daga kurkukun, sai suka tafi gidan Lidiya, inda suka sadu da’yan’uwa suka kuma ƙarfafa su. Sa’an nan suka tafi.
And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
