Ayyukan Manzanni 25
1 Kwana uku bayan isowa a lardin, sai Festus ya haura daga Kaisariya zuwa Urushalima,
Festus therefore, being come into the province, after three days 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 principal men among the Jews, appeared before him against Paul, and made application to 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.
begging the favor of him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; for they were preparing 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 was in custody at Cesarea, and that he himself should go thither soon.
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 any thing bad 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 when he had staid among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea, and the next day sitting on the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought before him.
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 was come, the Jews that came down from Jerusalem, stood round about, bringing many heavy charges 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.”
he answering in his own defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cesar have I committed any offence.
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, being desirous to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there to be tried concerning these things before me?
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.
Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be tried: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as thou very well knowest.
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 I am indeed doing them wrong, and have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be nothing in what these men accuse me of, no one can give me up to them.
12 Bayan Festus ya yi shawara da majalisarsa sai ya ce, “Ka ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar. To, ga Kaisar kuwa za ka tafi!”
I appeal to Cesar. Then Festus, conferring with his council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Cesar? to Cesar thou shalt go.
13 Bayan’yan kwanaki sai Sarki Agiriffa da Bernis suka iso Kaisariya don su yi wa Festus gaisuwar bangirma.
And some days after king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea to salute 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 spent several days there, Festus related Paul's case to the king, saying, There is a man left in custody by Felix: concerning whom,
15 Sa’ad da na je Urushalima, manyan firistoci da dattawan Yahudawa suka kawo ƙara game da shi suka kuma nema a hukunta shi.
when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews appeared in court, desiring judgement 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, it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction, till he that is accused have the accusers face to face, and have an opportunity of making his defence concerning the accusation.
17 Da suka zo nan tare da ni, ban yi wani jinkiri ba, na kira zaman kotu kashegari kuma na umarta a kawo mutumin.
Therefore when they were come hither, making no delay, I sat on the tribunal the next day, and ordered the man to be brought before me.
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 they would:
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 concerning their own religion; and of 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 I being in doubt as to the dispute concerning these matters, asked him, if he would go to Jerusalem, and there be tried concerning 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 when Paul appealed, to be reserved to the hearing of our sovereign, I ordered 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 should be willing to hear the man myself. And he said, thou shalt hear him to-morrow.
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 much pomp, and entering into the court, together with the chief officers, and men of greatest eminence in the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
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 that are here present with us, ye see this man, concerning whom all the Jews have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out, that he ought not to live.
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 when I found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and as he himself has appealed to the emperor, 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 our sovereign: wherefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that after examination is made I may have somewhat 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 laid against him."
