Ayyukan Manzanni 19
1 Lokacin da Afollos yake a Korint, Bulus ya bi hanyar da ta ratsa ta Asiya ya zo Afisa. A can ya sadu da waɗansu almajirai,
While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul [left the places in Phrygia and Galatia] provinces where he had been visiting, and traveled through [Asia province] back to Ephesus. He met some people [who said that they] were believers.
2 sai ya tambaye, su ya ce, “Kun karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki sa’ad da kuka gaskata?” Suka amsa suka ce, “A’a, ba mu ma san akwai Ruhu Mai Tsarki ba.”
He asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed [God’s message]?” They answered, “No, we [(exc) did not]. We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 Saboda haka Bulus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “To, wace baftisma aka yi muku?” Suka ce, “Baftismar Yohanna.”
So Paul asked, “So when you were baptized, what [were you showing]?” They replied, “[We were showing] that we [(exc)] believed what John [the Baptizer] taught.”
4 Bulus ya ce, “Ai, baftismar Yohanna, baftisma ce ta tuba. Ya ce wa mutane su gaskata a wani wanda yake zuwa bayansa, wato, Yesu.”
Paul said, “John baptized people who turned away from their sinful behavior. He [also] told the people to believe in the one who would come after he [had come], and that was Jesus.”
5 Da ji wannan, sai aka yi musu baftisma a cikin sunan Ubangiji Yesu.
So, when those men heard that, they were baptized [to affirm that they believed] [MTY] in the Lord Jesus.
6 Da Bulus ya ɗibiya musu hannuwansa, sai Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauka musu, suka kuwa yi magana da harsuna, suka kuma yi annabci.
After that, Paul placed his hands on their heads [one by one], and the [power of the] Holy Spirit came upon [each of] them. The [Holy Spirit] enabled them to speak in various languages [MTY] [that they had not learned], and they also spoke messages [that the Holy Spirit] revealed to them.
7 Mutane kuwa su wajen mutum goma sha biyu ne.
There were about twelve men [whom Paul baptized and who received the power of the Holy Spirit].
8 Bulus ya shiga majami’a ya yi magana gabagadi a can na watanni uku, yana muhawwara yana kuma rinjayarsu game da mulkin Allah.
For three months after that, Paul entered the Jewish meeting place [in Ephesus on each] Sabbath/Jewish day of rest, and he spoke boldly. He convincingly taught [the people] about how God wanted to rule [MET] [their lives].
9 Amma waɗansunsu suka taurara; suka ƙi su gaskata kuma a gaban jama’a suka yi baƙar magana game da Hanyar. Bulus kuwa ya bar su. Ya tafi tare da almajirai ya dinga tattaunawa da su kullum a babban ɗakin jawabi na Tirannus.
[A few of the people in the meeting house believed the message about Jesus]. But some of the people would not believe that message and did not want to [continue to] hear it. While many people were listening, they said many bad things about the way [for people to receive eternal life about which Paul was preaching]. So Paul left them and took the believers with him [to meet in another place]. He taught every day in a lecture hall [that a man whose name was] Tyrannus [lectured in/owned].
10 Wannan ya ci gaba har shekara biyu, sai da ya sa dukan Yahudawa da Hellenawa da suke zaune a lardin Asiya suka ji maganar Ubangiji.
For two years Paul continued to teach people in that building. In this way, most of [HYP] the Jews and non-Jews who lived in Asia [province] heard the message about the Lord [Jesus].
11 Allah ya yi ayyukan banmamakin da suka wuce misali ta hannu Bulus,
Also, God gave Paul the power [MTY] to do amazing miracles.
12 har ma ana kai hankicif da adikan da suka taɓa jikinsa wa marasa lafiya, suka kuwa warke daga cututtukansu mugayen ruhohi kuma suka rabu da su.
[If those who were sick could not come to Paul, handkerchiefs or aprons that Paul had touched would be taken and] placed on the sick people {[others] would take [and place on] the sick people handkerchiefs or aprons that Paul had touched}. As a result, those sick people would become well, and evil spirits that troubled people would leave.
13 Waɗansu Yahudawa masu yawo gari-gari suna fitar da mugayen ruhohi suka yi ƙoƙari su yi amfani da sunan Ubangiji Yesu a kan waɗanda suke da aljanu. Suna cewa, “A cikin sunan Yesu wanda Bulus yake wa’azi, na umarce ku, ku fito.”
There were also some Jews who traveled around [to] various places, [and] they commanded the evil spirits in those places to depart [from people. Certain ones of those Jews once] tried to command the evil spirits to come out of people by saying “I command you by the authority [MTY] of the Lord Jesus, the man about whom Paul preaches, to come out!”
14 ’Ya’ya bakwai maza na Sikeba, wani babban firist na Yahudawa, suna yin haka.
There were seven men who were doing that. They were sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew, [who called himself] a chief priest.
15 Wata rana mugun ruhu ya amsa musu ya ce, “Yesu kam na sani, Bulus kuma na sani, amma ku kuma su wane ne?”
But [one day as they were doing that], the evil spirit [refused to come out of that person. Instead, he] said to them, “I know Jesus, and I know [that he has authorized] Paul [to expel demons]. (But no one has authorized you [to do anything to me!]/who authorized you [to do anything to me]?) [RHQ]”
16 Sai mutumin da yake da mugun ruhun ya fāɗa musu ya sha ƙarfinsu duka. Ya yi musu dūkan tsiya har suka fita a guje daga gidan tsirara jini yana zuba.
[After saying that, suddenly] the man who was controlled by the evil spirit jumped on the seven Jewish men, [one after another], knocked all of them down, and beat each of them severely. He tore off their clothes and wounded them, causing them to bleed. So, [greatly frightened, they all] ran out of the house.
17 Da Yahudawa da Hellenawan da suke zama a Afisa suka ji wannan labari sai duk tsoro ya kama su, aka kuwa darjanta sunan Ubangiji Yesu ƙwarai.
All the people who lived in Ephesus, both Jews and non-Jews, heard what had happened. So they were afraid [MTY]. They honored the Lord Jesus [MTY] [because they realized that he was very powerful].
18 Da yawa cikin waɗanda suka gaskata yanzu suka zo a fili suka furta mugayen ayyukansu.
[At that time], while other believers were listening, many believers confessed the evil things that they had been doing.
19 Waɗansu masu yin sihiri suka kawo naɗaɗɗun littattafansu wuri ɗaya suka kuwa ƙone su a gaban jama’a. Sa’ad da aka lissafta yawan kuɗin naɗaɗɗun littattafan nan, sai jimillar ta kai darik dubu hamsin.
Several of those who had [previously] practiced sorcery gathered up their scrolls [that told how to work] magic and burned them in a public place. When people added up how much those scrolls had cost, they realized that altogether the amount was 50,000 valuable silver coins.
20 Ta haka maganar Ubangiji ta bazu ko’ina ta kuma yi ƙarfi.
As a result, many more people heard [MTY] the message about the Lord [Jesus], and the message powerfully [changed their lives].
21 Bayan dukan wannan ya faru, sai Bulus ya yanke shawara ya ratsa Makidoniya da Akayya in za shi Urushalima. Ya kuma ce, “Bayan na tafi can, dole in ziyarci Roma ita ma.”
After those things had happened, Paul decided that he wanted to go to Jerusalem, but he decided that [first] he would visit [the believers in] Macedonia and Achaia [provinces again]. Paul said, “After I have been to Jerusalem, I must also go to Rome.”
22 Sai ya aiki biyu daga cikin masu taimakonsa, Timoti da Erastus, zuwa Makidoniya, yayinda shi kuwa ya ɗan dakata a lardin Asiya.
He sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, ahead to Macedonia. But Paul stayed a little longer [in Ephesus city], in Asia [province].
23 Kusan wannan lokaci sai aka yi wani babban hargitsi game da wannan Hanyar.
[Soon after that], some of the people there tried to make a lot of [LIT] trouble for the people who believed the way [God revealed for us(inc) to receive eternal life].
24 Wani maƙerin azurfa, mai suna Demetiriyus wanda yake ƙera siffar ɗakunan tsafin Artemis da azurfa, ba ƙaramin ciniki yake kawo wa mutane masu sana’an nan ba.
There was a man there whose name was Demetrius who made little images out of silver. [They were models] of the temple of [a goddess whose name was] Artemis. Demetrius and the other men [who made those little images] earned a lot of [LIT] money [from selling those images].
25 Sai ya tara su wuri ɗaya, tare da masu irin wannan sana’ar ya ce, “Ku jama’a, kun san muna samun kuɗin shiga sosai daga wannan sana’a.
Demetrius called a meeting of his workmen and also of others who made the little silver images. He said to them, “Men, you know that we [(inc)] earn a lot of money doing our kind of work.
26 Kuma kuna ji kuna gani yadda Bulus ɗin nan ya shawo kan mutane da yawa ya kuma sa suka bauɗe a nan a Afisa da dukan lardin Asiya. Yana cewa alloli da mutum ya ƙera ba alloli ba ne ko kaɗan.
Also, you know that [this fellow] Paul has persuaded many people who live in Ephesus [to no longer buy the images that we make. Now even the people from] many other towns in our province [no longer want to buy what we make]. This fellow tells people that the gods that we have made [and worship] are not gods [and that we should not worship them].
27 Akwai hatsari, ba kawai cewa sana’armu za tă rasa sunanta mai daraja ba, amma za a yi banza da ɗakin tsafin Artemis alliyarmu mai girma, alliyar kanta wadda ake bauta a ko’ina a yankin Asiya da kuma duniya, za a raba ta da darajarta.”
[If people continue to listen to him], soon they will ruin our business. Besides, they will no longer think that they should [come to] the temple of Artemis [to worship her. People] all over our Asia [province] and everywhere [HYP] else worship [our great] goddess [Artemis. Soon people] may no longer consider that Artemis is great!”
28 Da suka ji haka, sai suka yi fushi ƙwarai suka fara ihu suna cewa, “Girma ta tabbata ga Artemis ta Afisawa!”
All the men there were very angry [at Paul] when they heard what Demetrius said. They began to shout, “The goddess Artemis of us Ephesians is very great!”
29 Jim kaɗan sai hayaniya ta tashi a dukan birnin. Sai mutane suka cafke Gayus da Aristarkus, abokan tafiyar Bulus daga Makidoniya, suka ruga da zuwa fili da nufi ɗaya.
Many of the other people in the city heard the shouting and went [and joined the crowd. They also became angry at Paul] and began shouting. [Several of] the people seized Gaius and Aristarchus, two men [from Macedonia] who had been traveling with Paul. [Then the whole crowd of people ran, dragging those men along with them], to the city stadium.
30 Bulus ya so ya bayyana a gaban taron, amma almajirai ba su bar shi ba.
Paul also wanted to go [to the stadium and speak to] the people, but the other believers would not let him go there.
31 Har waɗansu shugabannin lardin ma, abokan Bulus, suka aika masa suna roƙonsa kada yă kuskura ya shiga filin nan.
Also, some government officials of that province who were friends of Paul [heard what was happening]. So they sent someone to tell him [urgently] not to go into the stadium.
32 Taron kuwa ya ruɗe. Waɗansu suna ihu suna ce abu kaza, waɗansu kuma wani abu dabam. Yawancin mutane kuma ba su ma san abin da ya sa suke a wurin ba.
The crowd of people [in the stadium] continued shouting. Some shouted one thing, and some shouted something else. But most of them did not even know what the meeting was about!
33 Yahudawa suka tura Alekzanda gaba, sai waɗansu a taron suka riƙa yin masa ihu. Sai ya ɗaga hannu don a yi shiru don yă kāre kansa a gaban mutane.
One of the [Jews there was named Alexander. Some of] the Jews pushed him to the front of the stadium, [so that he could speak to the crowd of people]. So Alexander motioned with his hands to the crowd, [wanting them to be quiet]. He wanted to tell them that [the Jews] were not responsible [for the riot].
34 Amma sa’ad da suka gane shi mutumin Yahuda ne, sai duk suka yi ihu gaba ɗaya na kusa sa’a biyu, suna cewa, “Girma ta tabbata ga Artemis ta Afisawa!”
But [many of the non-Jewish people] knew that Alexander was a Jew. [They also knew that the Jews did not worship the goddess Artemis. So the non-Jews there] unitedly [and] repeatedly shouted for about two hours, “Great is [the goddess] Artemis [whom we(inc)] Ephesians [worship]!”
35 Sai magatakardar birnin ya sa taron su yi shiru, sa’an nan ya ce, “Mutanen Afisa, ashe duk duniya ba tă san cewa birnin Afisa ce mai lura da haikalin Artemis mai girma da kuma siffarta da ya fāɗi daga sama ba?
Then the city secretary made the crowd stop shouting, and he said to them, “My fellow-citizens, everyone in the world knows [RHQ] that [we(inc) people who live in] Ephesus [city] guard the temple [where we worship] the great [goddess] Artemis. Also, [everyone knows that we(inc) watch over] the [sacred] image [of our goddess] that fell down from heaven!
36 Saboda haka, da yake ba dama a yi mūsun wannan gaskiya, ya kamata ku natsu kada ku yi kome da garaje.
Of course everyone knows that, and no one can say that these things are not true. So you should be quiet now. Do not suddenly do anything (foolish/that will cause us trouble).
37 Kun kawo mutanen nan a nan, gashi kuwa ba su yi fashin haikali ba, ba su kuwa saɓa wa alliyarmu ba.
You [should not] have brought these [two] men [here, because they have not done anything evil]. They have not gone into our temples and taken things [from there]. And they have not spoken evil of our goddess.
38 To, in haka ne, in Demetiriyus da abokan sana’arsa suna da wata magana game da wani ai, kotuna suna nan a buɗe, akwai kuma muƙaddasai. Suna iya kai ƙara.
Therefore, if Demetrius and his fellow-workmen want to accuse anyone [about anything bad, they should do it in the right way]. There are courts [that you can go to when you want to accuse someone], and there are judges [there who have been appointed by the government] {[whom the government has appointed]}. You can accuse [anyone there].
39 In kuma akwai wani abu har yanzu da kuke so ku kawo, dole a daidaita shi a majalisa.
But if you want to ask about something else, [you should ask] for [other officials to] resolve it when [those] officials legally assemble.
40 Yadda yake a yanzu, muna a hatsarin amsa zargin ta da hargitsi saboda abin da ya faru yau. Da yake ba za mu iya ba da dalilin da ya sa aka yi wannan hargitsi ba.”
[And this is certainly not a legal meeting! Resolve this legally] because, if [we(inc) do] not, I am afraid [that the governor] will hear about all this noise [that you have made] and will say that we [(inc)] were trying to rebel [against the government]. If he would ask me what you were all shouting about, I would not be able to give him an answer.”
41 Bayan da ya faɗi haka, sai ya sallami taron.
That is what the city secretary said [to the crowd]. Then he told them all to go [home. So they left].
