Ayyukan Manzanni 18
1 Bayan haka, Bulus ya bar Atens ya tafi Korint.
After that, Paul left Athens [city] and went to Corinth [city].
2 A can ya sadu da wani mutumin Yahuda mai suna Akwila, ɗan garin Fontus, wanda ya je can ba da daɗewa ba daga Italiya tare da matarsa Firiskila, gama Kalaudiyus ya umarci dukan Yahudawa su bar Roma. Sai Bulus ya tafi yă gan su,
There he met a Jew whose name was Aquila, who grew up in Pontus [province]. Aquila and his wife Priscilla had recently come from [Rome, in] Italy. [They had previously left Rome] because Claudius, [the Roman Emperor], had ordered that all the Jews must leave Rome. Paul later went to see Aquila and Priscilla.
3 da yake shi ma mai ɗinkin tenti ne kamar su, sai ya zauna ya yi aiki tare da su.
Those two made tents [to earn] ([money/a living]). Paul also made tents, so he stayed with them, and they all worked together.
4 Kowace Asabbaci kuwa yakan yi muhawwara a majami’a, yana ƙoƙari yă rinjayi Yahudawa da Hellenawa.
Every Sabbath, Paul [went] to the Jewish meeting place, where he spoke forcefully to both Jews and non-Jews. He repeatedly tried to persuade them [that Jesus is the Messiah].
5 Sa’ad da Sila da Timoti suka iso daga Makidoniya, sai Bulus ya ba da kansa ga yin wa’azi kaɗai, yana tabbatar wa Yahudawa cewa Yesu shi ne Kiristi.
Then Silas and Timothy arrived there from Macedonia province. After they arrived, Paul [did not make tents any more. He] used all his time preaching [the message about Jesus in the Jewish meeting place]. He continued to tell the Jews [that] the Messiah they had been waiting for was Jesus.
6 Amma sa’ad da Yahudawa suka yi hamayya da Bulus suka kuma shiga zaginsa, sai ya karkaɗe tufafinsa a cikin rashin yarda, ya ce musu, “Alhakinku yana a kanku! Ba ni da wani laifi. Daga yanzu zan tafi wajen Al’ummai.”
But the Jews began to oppose Paul and to say evil things about him. So he shook [the dust from] his clothes [to show them that they were displeasing God. Then] he said to them, “If God punishes you, it will be your [SYN] own fault [MTY], not mine! From now on I will go [and preach] to non-Jewish people!”
7 Sai Bulus ya bar majami’ar ya kuma tafi ƙofar da take kusa da gidan Titus Yustus, mai yi wa Allah sujada.
So Paul left [the Jewish meeting place] and went into a house that was next to it, [and preached there]. Titius Justus, the owner of the house, was a non-Jewish man who had accepted what the Jews believe.
8 Kirisbus, shugaban majami’a, da dukan iyalinsa suka gaskata Ubangiji; Korintiyawa masu yawa kuwa da suka ji shi suka gaskata, aka kuwa yi musu baftisma.
[After that], the ruler of the Jewish meeting place, [whose name was] Crispus, and all of his family [MTY] believed in the Lord [Jesus]. Many other people in Corinth who listened [to Paul] also believed [in Jesus]. Then they were baptized. [But there were people who still opposed Paul and his preaching].
9 Wata rana da dad dare, Ubangiji ya yi magana da Bulus a cikin wahayi ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro; ka ci gaba da yin magana, kada ka yi shiru.
One night Paul had a vision in which the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Do not be afraid [of those who oppose you]. Instead, you should continue speaking [to people about me]. Do not stop,
10 Gama ina tare da kai, ba kuma wanda zai fāɗa maka ya cuce ka, domin ina da mutane da yawa a wannan birni.”
because I [will help] you, and no one will be able to harm you [(sg) here. Keep telling people about me], because there are many in this city who will [believe in] me.”
11 Saboda haka Bulus ya zauna a nan har shekara ɗaya da rabi, yana koya musu maganar Allah.
So Paul stayed in Corinth for a year and a half, teaching people the message from God [about Jesus].
12 Yayinda Galliyo yake muƙaddas Akayya, Yahudawa suka haɗa kai suka tasar wa Bulus, suka kuwa kawo shi cikin kotu.
When Gallio was the [Roman] governor of Achaia [province], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there got together and seized Paul. They took him before Gallio [and accused him],
13 Suka yi zarge cewa, “Wannan mutum yana rarrashin mutane su yi wa Allah sujada a hanyoyin da suka saɓa wa doka.”
saying, “This man is teaching people [a false religion, leading them] to worship God in ways that are contrary to our [Jewish] laws.”
14 A daidai sa’ad da Bulus yana shirin yin magana, sai Galliyo ya ce wa Yahudawan, “Da a ce ku Yahudawa kuna gunaguni game da munafunci, ko kuma wani babban laifi, da sai in iya sauraronku.
When Paul was about to speak [MTY] [to defend himself], Gallio said to the Jews, “If this man had acted deceitfully or disobeyed [any of our Roman] laws, I would listen [patiently] to what you Jews [want to tell me].
15 Amma da yake ya shafi gardama ce game da kalmomi da sunaye da kuma dokarku, sai ku ji da ita da kanku. Ni ba zan zama mai shari’a kan irin waɗannan abubuwa ba.”
However, you are merely arguing about words and names and your own [Jewish] laws, so you yourselves need to resolve this. I refuse to judge these things!”
16 Saboda haka ya kore su.
After Gallio [had said that], he [commanded some soldiers/guards] that [they] expel those [Jewish leaders] from the courtroom.
17 Sai duk suka juya kan Sostenes shugaban majami’a suka yi masa dūka a gaban kotun. Amma Galliyo ko yă kula.
Then [the mob outside] grabbed the leader of the Jewish meeting place, Sosthenes [because they considered that he was responsible for those accusations against Paul]. They beat him, right there in front of the courthouse. But Gallio did nothing about it.
18 Bulus kuwa ya ci gaba da zama a Korint na’yan kwanaki. Sa’an nan ya bar’yan’uwa ya shiga jirgin ruwa zuwa Suriya tare da Firiskila da Akwila. Kafin ya tashi, ya aske kansa a Kenkireya saboda alkawarin da ya yi.
Paul stayed on with the believers in Corinth for (many days/some time). Then he left the believers there, and went with Priscilla and [her husband] Aquila. They went down to Cenchrea, [a port city]. There Paul had his head shaved {[someone] shave his head} in order to partially complete a vow that he had taken. Then they got on a ship and sailed for Syria [province].
19 Suka isa Afisa, inda Bulus ya bar Firiskila da Akwila. Shi kansa ya shiga majami’a ya kuma yi muhawwara da Yahudawa.
They arrived at Ephesus [city], and Priscilla and Aquila stayed there. [Before Paul left Ephesus], he entered the Jewish meeting place and lectured to the Jews.
20 Sa’ad da suka roƙe shi ya ƙara’yan kwanaki da su, bai yarda ba.
They asked him to stay longer, but he refused.
21 Amma da yake barin wurin, ya yi alkawari cewa, “Zan dawo in Allah ya yarda.” Sa’an nan ya tashi daga Afisa a jirgin ruwa.
But, as he left, he told them, “I will come back, if God wills/desires [me to do that].” Then, [because he wanted to be in Jerusalem to finish completing his vow], he got on [a ship that] sailed from Ephesus.
22 Sa’ad da ya sauka a Kaisariya, sai ya haura ya gai da ikkilisiya sa’an nan ya gangara zuwa Antiyok.
When the ship arrived at Caesarea, Paul [got off. He] went up [to Jerusalem] and greeted the believers there. Then he went back down to Antioch [city in Syria province].
23 Bayan ya yi’yan kwanaki a Antiyok, Bulus ya tashi daga can ya zaga ko’ina a yankin Galatiya da Firjiya, yana ƙarfafa dukan almajirai.
Paul spent some time [with the believers] there. Then he left Antioch and traveled to several towns [that he had visited previously] in Galatia and Phrygia [provinces]. He taught all of the believers more [of the message from God about Jesus].
24 Ana cikin haka sai wani mutumin Yahuda mai suna Afollos, ɗan ƙasar Alekzandariya, ya zo Afisa. Shi masani ne, yana da cikakken sani na Nassosi.
[While Paul was traveling in Galatia and Phrygia], a Jewish man whose name was Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria [city]. He [spoke eloquently] and he knew the Scriptures thoroughly.
25 An horar da shi a hanyar Ubangiji, ya kuma himma ƙwarai a magana, ya kuma yi koyarwa game da Yesu, daidai, ko da yake baftismar Yohanna ce kaɗai ya sani.
[Other believers] had taught him [some things] about how the Lord [Jesus desires that people] should conduct themselves, and he taught those things very enthusiastically [to people. He had heard about] some of the things that Jesus did and said, and he taught those facts accurately [to people. However, he was teaching incompletely about Jesus, because] he knew only what John [the Baptizer had taught people whom he] baptized.
26 Sai ya fara magana gabagadi a majami’a. Sa’ad da Firiskila da Akwila suka ji shi, sai suka gayyace shi gidansu suka ƙara bayyana masa hanyar Allah sosai.
Apollos went to the Jewish meeting place, and he told the people there very confidently the things that he had learned. When Priscilla and Aquila heard what Apollos taught, they invited him [to their home]. There they explained more accurately to him the way [that] God [gives people eternal life].
27 Sa’ad da Afollos ya so ya tafi Akayya, sai’yan’uwa suka ƙarfafa shi suka kuma rubuta wa almajiran da suke can da su marabce shi. Da isowarsa, ya zama da taimako ƙwarai ga waɗanda ta wurin alheri suka gaskata.
When Apollos decided that he would like to go to Achaia [province], the believers in Ephesus told him that it would be good for him to do that. So they wrote a letter to the believers [in Achaia saying that they] should welcome Apollos. [So Apollos got on a ship to go to Corinth]. After he arrived, he greatly helped those whom [God] had kindly enabled to believe [in Jesus].
28 Gama da ƙwazo ya ƙaryata Yahudawa a muhawwara a fili, yana tabbatar daga Nassosi cewa Yesu shi ne Kiristi.
Apollos was vigorously arguing publicly with [the leaders of] the Jews while many other people listened. [By quoting] from the Scriptures, he proved to people that Jesus was the Messiah.
