Ayyukan Manzanni 25
1 Kwana uku bayan isowa a lardin, sai Festus ya haura daga Kaisariya zuwa Urushalima,
When Festus, therefore, was come into the province, after three days, he went up from Cesarea to Jerusalem;
2 inda manyan firistoci da shugabannin Yahudawa suka bayyana a gabansa suka kuma gabatar da ƙararsu a kan Bulus.
and the high priest, and the chief among the Jews, appeared before him against Paul, and entreated him
3 Suka roƙi Festus a gaggauce a matsayin alfarma gare su, da yă sa a mai da Bulus Urushalima, gama sun’yan kwanto su kashe shi a hanya.
that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying an ambush to kill him by the way.
4 Festus ya amsa ya ce, “Bulus yana tsare a Kaisariya, ni da kaina kuma zan je can ba da daɗewa ba.
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would shortly set out for that place:
5 Ku sa waɗansu daga cikin shugabanninku su tafi tare da ni su kawo ƙararsu a kan mutumin a can, in ya aikata wani laifi.”
therefore, said he, Let those of you who are able, go down with me; and if there be anything criminal in this man, let them accuse him.
6 Bayan ya yi kwanaki takwas ko goma tare da su, sai ya gangara zuwa Kaisariya, kashegari kuma ya kira a yi zaman kotu ya kuma umarta a kawo Bulus a gabansa.
And, having continued among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day, sitting down on the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought.
7 Da Bulus ya bayyana, sai Yahudawan da suka gangaro daga Urushalima suka tsaya kewaye shi, suna kawo ƙarar masu tsanani da yawa a kansa, waɗanda ba su iya tabbatarwa ba.
And when he appeared, the Jews, who came down from Jerusalem, stood round about, bringing many heavy accusations against Paul, which they were not able to prove;
8 Sa’an nan Bulus ya kāre kansa ya ce, “Ban aikata wani laifi game da dokokin Yahudawa ko game da haikali ko kuma game da Kaisar ba.”
while he answered for himself--Neither against the laws of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cesar, have I committed any offense at all.
9 Festus, da yake yana so yă yi wa Yahudawa alfarma, sai ya ce wa Bulus, “Ka yarda ka je Urushalima a yi maka shari’a a can a gabana a kan waɗannan zarge?”
But Festus, willing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, answered Paul, and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged before me, concerning these things?
10 Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Yanzu ina tsaye a gaban kotun Kaisar, inda ya kamata a yi mini shari’a. Ban yi wani laifi ga Yahudawa ba, kai da kanka ma ka san da haka sarai.
But Paul said, I am standing at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be judged. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you know perfectly well.
11 In kuwa ina da wani laifin da ya isa kisa, ban ƙi in mutu ba. Amma in ƙarar da waɗannan Yahudawa suka kawo a kaina ba gaskiya ba ne, ba wanda yake da iko ya ba da ni a gare su. Na ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar!”
For, if, indeed, I have done wrong, or have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if there is no fact of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to gratify them! I appeal to Cesar.
12 Bayan Festus ya yi shawara da majalisarsa sai ya ce, “Ka ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar. To, ga Kaisar kuwa za ka tafi!”
Then Festus, having spoken with the council, answered, Have you appealed to Cesar? To Cesar you shall go.
13 Bayan’yan kwanaki sai Sarki Agiriffa da Bernis suka iso Kaisariya don su yi wa Festus gaisuwar bangirma.
And when some days were passed, King Agrippa, and Bernice, came to Cesarea, to pay their respects to Festus.
14 Da yake za su yi kwanaki da dama a can, sai Festus ya tattauna batun Bulus da sarki. Ya ce, “Akwai mutumin da Felis ya bari a daure.
And as they continued there many days, Festus laid before the king the case of Paul, saying, There is a certain man, left in bonds by Felix;
15 Sa’ad da na je Urushalima, manyan firistoci da dattawan Yahudawa suka kawo ƙara game da shi suka kuma nema a hukunta shi.
concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews, informed me, desiring judgment against him.
16 “Na gaya musu cewa ba al’adar Romawa ba ce a hukunta mutum kafin ya fuskanci masu ƙararsa ya kuma sami damar kāre kansa game da ƙararsu.
To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, till he that is accused have the accusers face to face, and be allowed an opportunity of making his defense, as to the crime laid to his charge.
17 Da suka zo nan tare da ni, ban yi wani jinkiri ba, na kira zaman kotu kashegari kuma na umarta a kawo mutumin.
When, therefore, they were come hither, I, without any delay, sat down on the tribunal next day, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18 Sa’ad da masu zarginsa suka tashi tsaye don su yi magana, ba su zarge shi da wani laifin da na yi tsammani ba.
Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
19 A maimako haka, sai suka kawo waɗansu’yan maganganu game da addininsu da ba su yarda da shi ba da kuma game da wani Yesu da ya mutu wanda Bulus ya ce yana da rai.
but had certain questions against him, relating to their own religion, and about one Jesus, that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 Na rasa yadda zan bincike irin abubuwan nan; saboda haka na yi tambaya ko zai yarda ya tafi Urushalima a yi masa shari’a a can game da waɗannan zargi.
But as I was dubious of the question relating to him, I said, that if he were willing, he should go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
21 Da Bulus ya ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Babban Sarki sai na umarta a tsare shi har kafin in aika shi zuwa ga Kaisar.”
But Paul, appealing to be kept to the hearing of his majesty, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Cesar.
22 Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Festus, “Ni ma zan so in saurari mutumin da kaina.” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka kuwa ji shi gobe.”
Then Agrippa said to Festus, I also would willingly hear the man myself. And he said, To-morrow you shall hear him.
23 Kashegari Agiriffa da Bernis suka yi shiga irin ta sarauta suka shiga ɗakin jama’a tare da manyan sojoji da manyan mutanen birni. Da umarnin Festus, sai aka shigo da Bulus.
The next day, therefore, Agrippa and Bernice, coming with great pomp, and entering into the place of audience, with the commanders and principal men of the city; at the command of Festus, Paul was brought forth.
24 Sai Festus ya ce, “Sarki Agiriffa, da kuma dukan waɗanda suke tare da mu, kun ga wannan mutum! Dukan jama’ar Yahudawa sun kawo mini kararsa a Urushalima da kuma a nan Kaisariya, suna kururuwa suna cewa bai kamata a bar shi da rai ba.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all you who are present with us! you see this man, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews have pleaded with me, both at Jerusalem, and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
25 Ban same shi da wani laifin da ya isa kisa ba, amma saboda ya ɗaukaka ƙararsa zuwa gaban Babban Sarki sai na yanke shawara in aika da shi Roma.
But I could not apprehend him to have done anything worthy of death; yet, as he himself has appealed to his majesty, I have determined to send him.
26 Ba ni da wata tabbatacciyar maganar da zan rubuta wa Mai Girma game da shi. Saboda haka na kawo shi a gabanku duka, musamman a gabanka, Sarki Agiriffa, saboda a sakamakon wannan bincike zan iya samun abin da zan rubuta.
Concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my master: wherefore, I have brought him out before you all; and especially before you, King Agrippa! that, after examination taken, I may have something to write:
27 Don a ganina wauta ce a aika da ɗan kurkuku ba tare da an nuna zargin da ake yi a kansa ba.”
for it seems to me absurd, to send a prisoner, and not to signify the crimes alleged against him.
