Ayyukan Manzanni 23
1 Bulus ya zuba wa Majalisar ido ya ce, “’Yan’uwana, na cika aikina ga Allah cikin lamiri mai kyau har yă zuwa yau.”
Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
2 Da jin wannan Ananiyas babban firist ya umarci waɗanda suke tsaye kusa da Bulus su buge bakinsa.
The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
3 Sai Bulus ya ce masa, “Allah zai buge ka, kai farin bango! Ka zauna a can kana hukunta ni bisa ga doka, ga shi kai kanka kana ƙetare dokar ta wurin ba da umarni a buge ni!”
Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the Torah, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
4 Waɗanda suke tsaye kusa da Bulus kuwa suka ce masa, “Babban firist na Allah za ka zaga?”
Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
5 Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “’Yan’uwa, ai, ban san cewa shi ne babban firist ba; gama yana a rubuce cewa, ‘Kada ka yi mugun magana game da mai mulkin mutanenka.’”
Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
6 Bulus, da ya gane cewa waɗansu daga cikinsu Sadukiyawa ne sauran kuma Farisiyawa ne, sai ya ɗaga murya a Majalisar ya ce, “’Yan’uwana, ni Bafarisiye ne, ɗan Farisiyawa. Ana mini shari’a saboda begen da nake da shi a kan tashin matattu.”
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
7 Da ya faɗi haka, sai gardama ta tashi tsakanin Farisiyawa da Sadukiyawa, taron kuwa ya rabu biyu.
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
8 (Sadukiyawa suna cewa babu tashin matattu, babu mala’iku ko ruhohi. Amma Farisiyawa kuwa sun tsaya a kan cewa duk akwai.)
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9 Aka yi babbar hayaniya. Waɗansu daga cikin malaman dokokin da suke Farisiyawa suka miƙe tsaye suka yi gardama mai ƙarfi suna cewa, “Ba mu sami wani laifi a wurin mutumin nan ba. A ce wani ruhu ko mala’ika ne ya yi masa magana fa?”
A great clamour arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
10 Gardamar kuwa ta yi tsanani har shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya ji tsoro za su yayyage Bulus. Ya umarci sojoji su tafi su ƙwace shi ƙarfi da yaji daga wurinsu su kawo shi cikin barikin soja.
When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from amongst them and bring him into the barracks.
11 Kashegari da dare Ubangiji ya tsaya kusa da Bulus ya ce, “Ka yi ƙarfin hali! Don kamar yadda ka yi shaida game da ni a Urushalima, haka kuma lalle, za ka yi shaidata a Roma.”
The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
12 Kashegari, Yahudawa suka ƙulla makirci suka kuma yi rantsuwa cewa ba za su ci ko sha ba sai sun kashe Bulus.
When it was day, some of the Judeans banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13 Fiye da mutane arba’in ne suka ƙulla wannan makirci.
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
14 Suka je wajen manyan firistoci da dattawa suka ce, “Mun yi babbar rantsuwa cewa ba za mu ci kome ba sai mun kashe Bulus.
They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
15 Saboda haka, sai ku da Majalisa sai ku roƙi shugaban ƙungiyar sojan yă kawo shi a gabanku kamar kuna so ku ƙara samun cikakken bayani game da zancensa. Mu kuwa muna a shirye mu kashe shi kafin yă iso nan.”
Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
16 Amma da ɗan’yar’uwar Bulus ya ji wannan makirci, sai ya tafi cikin barikin soja ya gaya wa Bulus.
But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17 Sai Bulus ya kira ɗaya daga cikin jarumawan ya ce, “Ka kai wannan saurayi wurin shugaban ƙungiyar soja; yana da wani abin da zai faɗa masa.”
Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
18 Saboda haka ya ɗauke shi ya kai wajen shugaban ƙungiyar sojan. Jarumin ya ce, “Bulus, ɗan kurkukun nan ya kira ni, ya roƙe ni in kawo wannan saurayi a wurinka domin yana da wani abin da zai faɗa maka.”
So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
19 Sai shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya kama hannun saurayin ya ja shi gefe, ya tambaye shi cewa, “Mene ne kake so ka gaya mini?”
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20 Saurayin ya ce, “Yahudawa sun ƙulla za su roƙe ka ka kawo Bulus a gaban Majalisa gobe kamar suna neman ƙarin cikakken bayani game da Bulus.
He said, “The Judeans have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to enquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
21 Kada ka yarda da su, domin fiye da mutum arba’in daga cikinsu suna fakonsa. Sun yi rantsuwa ba za su ci ko sha ba sai sun kashe shi. Suna nan a shirye yanzu, suna jira ka amince da roƙonsu.”
Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
22 Sai shugaban ƙungiyar sojan ya sallami saurayin ya kwaɓe shi ya ce, “Kada ka gaya wa kowa cewa ka faɗa mini wannan.”
So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
23 Sai ya kira biyu daga cikin jarumawansa, ya umarce su cewa, “Ku shirya sojoji ɗari biyu, da masu hawan dawakai saba’in da kuma masu māsu ɗari biyu su tafi Kaisariya da ƙarfe tara na daren nan.
He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
24 Ku shirya wa Bulus dawakai da zai hau don a kai shi wurin Gwamna Felis lafiya.”
He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Ya kuma rubuta wasiƙa kamar haka,
He wrote a letter like this:
26 Kalaudiyus Lisiyas. Zuwa ga Mai Girma, Gwamna Felis. Gaisuwa.
“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27 Yahudawa sun kama wannan mutum suna kuma dab da kashe shi, amma na zo da sojojina na ƙwato shi, saboda na ji shi ɗan ƙasar Roma ne.
“This man was seized by the Judeans, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learnt that he was a Roman.
28 Na so in san abin da ya sa suke zarginsa, saboda haka na kawo shi a gaban Majalisarsu.
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
29 Na tarar cewa zargin da ake masa ya shafi waɗansu abubuwan da suka shafi dokarsu ne, amma ba wani zargi a kansa da ya isa kisa ko a daure shi.
I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
30 Sa’ad da na sami labari cewa akwai wani makircin da aka ƙulla masa, sai na aika shi wurinka nan da nan. Na kuma umarci masu zarginsa su kai ƙararsu gare ka.
When I was told that the Judeans lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
31 Saboda haka sojojin, don cika umarni, suka ɗauki Bulus da dad dare suka kawo shi har Antifatiris.
So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Kashegari suka bar masu hawan dawakai suka ci gaba da shi, yayinda sojojin suka koma barikin soja.
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
33 Sa’ad da masu hawan dawakai suka isa Kaisariya, sai suka ba wa gwamna wasiƙar suka kuma miƙa masa Bulus.
When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 Gwamna ya karanta wasiƙar ya kuma tambaya ko daga wanda lardi ne ya fito. Da ya ji cewa shi daga Silisiya ne,
When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35 sai ya ce, “Zan ji batunka lokacin da masu zarginka suka iso.” Sa’an nan ya ba da umarni a kai Bulus a tsare shi a fadar Hiridus.
“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
