Ayyukan Manzanni 17
1 Da suka bi ta Amfifolis da Afolloniya, sai suka isa Tessalonika, inda akwai majami’ar Yahudawa.
Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2 Kamar yadda ya saba, Bulus ya shiga majami’ar, ranakun Asabbaci uku ya yi ta yin muhawwara da su daga cikin Nassosi,
Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3 yana musu bayani da tabbatarwa cewa dole Kiristi ya sha wahala ya kuma tashi daga matattu. Ya kuma ce, “Wannan Yesu da nake sanar muku shi ne Kiristi.”
explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."
4 Waɗansu Yahudawa suka amince suka kuma bi Bulus da Sila, haka ma Hellenawa da yawa masu tsoron Allah da kuma manyan mata ba kaɗan ba.
Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent women.
5 Amma Yahudawa suka yi kishi; saboda haka suka tattara’yan iska daga kasuwa, suka shirya wata ƙungiya, suka tā da tarzoma a birni. Suka ruga zuwa gidan Yason suna neman Bulus da Sila don su kawo su a gaban taron.
But the Jews, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
6 Amma da ba su same su ba, sai suka ja Yason da waɗansu’yan’uwa zuwa gaban mahukuntan birnin, suna ihu suna cewa, “Waɗannan mutanen da suke tā da fitina ko’ina a duniya sun iso nan,
When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
7 Yason kuwa ya karɓe su a gidansa. Dukansu suna karya dokokin Kaisar, suna cewa akwai wani sarki, wanda ake kira Yesu.”
whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."
8 Da suka ji haka, sai hankalin taron da na mahukuntan birnin ya tashi.
The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
9 Sai suka sa Yason da sauran su biya kuɗin saki sa’an nan suka sallame su.
When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
10 Da dare ya yi, sai’yan’uwa suka sallami Bulus da Sila su tafi Bereya. Da suka isa can, sai suka shiga majami’ar Yahudawa.
The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11 Bereyawa kuwa sun fi Tessalonikawa hankali, gama sun karɓi saƙon da marmari ƙwarai, suka kuma yi ta yin bincike Nassosi kowace rana su ga ko abin da Bulus ya faɗa gaskiya ne.
Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
12 Yahudawa da yawa suka gaskata, haka ma waɗansu manyan matan Hellenawa da kuma mazan Hellenawa da yawa.
Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
13 Da Yahudawan da suke a Tessalonika suka ji cewa Bulus yana wa’azin maganar Allah a Bereya, sai suka je can ma, suna zuga taro suna kuma tā da hankalinsu.
But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
14 Nan da nan’yan’uwa suka sa Bulus yă tafi bakin teku, amma Sila da Timoti suka dakata a Bereya.
Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
15 Mutanen da suka raka Bulus kuwa suka kawo shi Atens sa’an nan suka dawo da umarnai wa Sila da Timoti cewa su zo wurinsa da gaggawa.
But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
16 Yayinda Bulus yake jiransu a Atens, ya damu ƙwarai da ya ga birnin cike da gumaka.
Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
17 Saboda haka ya yi ta muhawwara a majami’a da Yahudawa da kuma Hellenawa masu tsoron Allah, haka kuma da waɗanda yake tararwa a bakin kasuwa.
So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
18 Wata ƙungiyar Afikuriya da kuma masu bin ussan ilimin Sitoyik suka fara gardama da shi. Waɗansunsu suka ce, “Mene ne mai surutun nan yake ƙoƙarin faɗi?” Waɗansu suka ce, “Kamar yana wa’azin baƙin alloli ne.” Sun faɗa haka ne domin Bulus yana wa’azin labari mai daɗi game da Yesu da kuma tashin matattu.
Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
19 Sai suka ɗauke shi suka kawo shi wurin taron Areyofagus, inda suka ce masa, “Ko za mu san mene ne sabon koyarwan nan ya ƙunsa da kake yi?
They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
20 Kana kawo mana ra’ayoyin da suke baƙo a gare mu, kuma muna so mu san mene ne suke nufi.”
For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
21 (Duk Atenawa da baƙin da suke zama a can suna zaman kashe wando ne kawai kuma ba abin da suke yi sai dai taɗi da kuma jin sababbin ra’ayoyi.)
Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
22 Sai Bulus ya miƙe tsaye a tsakiyar taron Areyofagus ya ce, “Ya ku mutanen Atens! Na dai lura cewa ta kowace hanya ku masu addini ne ƙwarai.
Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
23 Gama sa’ad da nake zagawa, na lura da kyau da abubuwan da kuke bauta wa, har ma na tarar da wani bagade da wannan rubutu, Ga Allahn da ba a sani ba. To, abin nan da kuke yi wa sujada a matsayin abin da ba ku sani nan ba shi ne zan sanar da ku.
For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
24 “Allahn da ya halicci duniya da kome da yake cikinta shi ne Ubangijin sama da ƙasa, ba ya kuma zama a haikalin da aka gina da hannuwa.
The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands,
25 Ba a kuma yin masa hidima da hannun mutum, sai ka ce mai bukatan wani abu, domin shi kansa ne ke ba wa dukan mutane rai da numfashi da kuma kome.
neither is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
26 Daga mutum ɗaya, ya halicci kowace al’ummar mutane, don su zauna a duk duniya; shi ne kuma ya ƙaddara lokuta bisa ga tsarinsu da kuma inda za su kasance.
He made from one blood every nation of mankind to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
27 Allah ya yi wannan domin mutane su neme shi mai yiwuwa kuma su lalluba su same shi, ko da yake ba shi da nisa daga kowannenmu.
that they should seek God, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
28 ‘Gama a cikinsa ne muke rayuwa muke motsi muka kuma kasance.’ Yadda waɗansu mawaƙanku suka ce, ‘Mu zuriyarsa ce.’
'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'
29 “Saboda haka da yake mu zuriyar Allah ce, kada mu yi tsammani cewa kamannin Allah yana kama da zinariya ko azurfa ko dutse, siffar da mutum ya ƙago ta wurin dabararsa.
Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
30 A dā Allah ya kawar da Allah ya kawar da kai ga zamanin jahilci, amma yanzu ya umarci dukan mutane a ko’ina su tuba.
The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
31 Gama ya sa ranar da zai yi wa duniya shari’a da adalci ta wurin mutumin da ya naɗa. Ya riga ya ba da tabbacin wannan ga dukan mutane ta wurin tā da shi daga matattu.”
because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising him from the dead."
32 Sa’ad da suka ji maganar tashin matattu, waɗansunsu suka yi tsaki, amma waɗansu suka ce, “Muna so mu ƙara jin ka a kan wannan batu.”
Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
33 Da wannan, Bulus ya bar Majalisar.
Thus Paul went out from among them.
34 Waɗansu mutane kima suka zama mabiyan Bulus suka kuwa gaskata. A cikinsu kuwa akwai Diyonasiyus ɗan Majalisar Areyofagus, haka kuma wata mace mai suna Damaris, da waɗansu dai haka.
But some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
