Ayyukan Manzanni 26
1 Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “An ba ka izini ka yi magana.” Saboda haka Bulus ya yi alama da hannunsa ya fara kāriyarsa.
And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching out his hand answered in his defence:
2 Ya ce, “Sarki Agiriffa, na yi sa’a da na tsaya a gabanka yau yayinda nake kāriyata game da dukan zargin Yahudawa,
I count myself happy, king Agrippa, in having to answer to-day before thee concerning all of which I am accused by the Jews,
3 musamman ma domin ka saba sosai da dukan al’adun Yahudawa da kuma maganganunsu. Saboda haka ina roƙonka ka saurare ni da haƙuri.
especially because thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 “Yahudawa duk sun san yadda na yi rayuwa tun ina yaro, daga farkon rayuwata a ƙasarmu da kuma a Urushalima.
My manner of life then from my youth, which from its commencement was passed among my nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews,
5 Sun san ni tun da daɗewa za su kuwa shaida, in suna so, cewa bisa ga ɗarikar addininmu mafi tsanani, na yi rayuwar Bafarisiye ne.
who knew me before from the outset [of my life], if they would bear witness, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Yanzu kuwa saboda begena cikin abin da Allah ya yi wa kakanninmu alkawari ne, ake mini shari’a yau.
And now I stand to be judged because of the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
7 Wannan shi ne alkawarin da kabilanmu goma sha biyu suke bege su ga cikawarsa, yayinda suke bauta wa Allah da himma dare da rana. Ya Sarki, saboda wannan bege ne fa Yahudawa suke zargena.
to which our whole twelve tribes serving incessantly day and night hope to arrive; about which hope, O king, I am accused of [the] Jews.
8 Don me wani a cikinku zai yi shakka cewa Allah yana tā da matattu?
Why should it be judged a thing incredible in your sight if God raises the dead?
9 “Ni ma a dā na tabbata cewa ya kamata in yi duk abin da zan iya yi domin in yi gāba da sunan Yesu Banazare.
I indeed myself thought that I ought to do much against the name of Jesus the Nazaraean.
10 Abin da na yi ke nan a Urushalima. Da izinin manyan firistoci na sa tsarkaka da yawa a kurkuku, sa’ad da kuma ake kashe su, nakan ka da ƙuri’ata gāba da su.
Which also I did in Jerusalem, and myself shut up in prisons many of the saints, having received the authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote.
11 Sau da dama nakan bi majami’a-majami’a, in sa a yi musu hukunci. Na kuma yi ƙoƙarin tilasta su su yi saɓo. Don kuma tsananin fushi da su, sai da na fafare su har waɗansu garuruwa na ƙetaren iyaka, ina tsananta musu.
And often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And, being exceedingly furious against them, I persecuted them even to cities out [of our own land].
12 “A cikin irin tafiye-tafiyen nan ne ina kan hanya zuwa Damaskus tare da izini daga manyan firistoci.
And when, [engaged] in this, I was journeying to Damascus, with authority and power from the chief priests,
13 Da tsakar rana, ya sarki, sa’ad da nake kan hanya, sai na ga wani haske daga sama, fiye da hasken rana, yana haskakawa kewaye da ni da abokan tafiyata.
at mid-day, on the way, I saw, O king, a light above the brightness of the sun, shining from heaven round about me and those who were journeying with me.
14 Dukanmu muka fāɗi ƙasa, na kuwa ji wata murya tana ce mini da harshen Arameyik, ‘Shawulu, Shawulu, don me kake tsananta mini? Yana da wuya ka shuri tsinken tsokanar dabba.’
And, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against goads.
15 “Sai na yi tambaya na ce, ‘Wane ne kai, ya Ubangiji?’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ni ne Yesu wanda kake tsananta wa.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:
16 Yanzu ka tashi, ka tsaya da ƙafafunka. Na bayyana a gare ka don in naɗa ka bawa da kuma mai shaidar abin da ka gani game da ni da kuma abin da zan nuna maka.
but rise up and stand on thy feet; for, for this purpose have I appeared to thee, to appoint thee to be a servant and a witness both of what thou hast seen, and of what I shall appear to thee in,
17 Zan tsirar da kai daga mutanenka da kuma daga Al’ummai. Ina aikan ka zuwa gare su domin
taking thee out from among the people, and the nations, to whom I send thee,
18 ka buɗe idanunsu su kuwa juyo daga duhu zuwa haske, daga mulkin Shaiɗan kuma zuwa wurin Allah, domin su sami gafarar zunubai da kuma matsayi a cikin waɗanda aka tsarkake ta wurin bangaskiya a cikina.’
to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
19 “Saboda haka fa, Sarki Agiriffa, ban yi rashin biyayya ga wahayin nan daga sama ba.
Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;
20 Da farko ga waɗanda suke a Damaskus, sa’an nan ga waɗanda suke a Urushalima da kuma cikin dukan Yahudiya, da kuma ga Al’ummai su ma, na yi wa’azi don su tuba su juyo ga Allah su kuma tabbatar da tubansu ta wurin ayyukansu.
but have, first to those both in Damascus and Jerusalem, and to all the region of Judaea, and to the nations, announced that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21 Shi ya sa Yahudawa suka kama ni a filin haikali suka kuma yi ƙoƙarin kashe ni.
On account of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, attempted to lay hands on and destroy me.
22 Amma na sami taimakon Allah har yă zuwa yau. Yanzu ga ni a tsaye a nan, ina shaida ga babba da yaro. Ba na faɗin kome fiye da abin da annabawa da Musa suka ce zai faru,
Having therefore met with [the] help which is from God, I have stood firm unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing else than those things which both the prophets and Moses have said should happen,
23 cewa Kiristi zai sha wahala, kuma a matsayin wanda yake na fari da zai tashi daga matattu, zai yi shelar haske ga mutanensa da kuma Al’ummai.”
[namely, ] whether Christ should suffer; whether he first, through resurrection of [the] dead, should announce light both to the people and to the nations.
24 A nan ne fa Festus ya tsai da kāriyar Bulus. Ya yi ihu ya ce, “Bulus! Kai dai ruɗaɗɗe ne, yawan karatunka yana juya maka kai.”
And as he answered for his defence with these things, Festus says with a loud voice, Thou art mad, Paul; much learning turns thee to madness.
25 Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ba na hauka, ya mafifici Festus. Abin da nake faɗi gaskiya ne da kuma mai kyau.
But Paul said, I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but utter words of truth and soberness;
26 Sarki ya san waɗannan abubuwa, ina kuma iya yin magana da shi a sake. Na tabbata cewa ba ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan da ya kuɓuce saninsa, domin ba a ɓoye aka yi shi ba.
for the king is informed about these things, to whom also I speak with all freedom. For I am persuaded that of these things nothing is hidden from him; for this was not done in a corner.
27 Sarki Agiriffa ka gaskata da annabawa? Na san ka gaskata.”
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “Kana tsammani cewa a cikin ɗan ƙanƙanin lokaci kana so ka mai da ni Kirista?”
And Agrippa [said] to Paul, In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
29 Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ko a ɗan lokaci, ko a lokaci mai yawa, ina addu’a ga Allah cewa, ba kai kaɗai ba amma duk waɗanda suke saurare ni a yau su zama abin da nake, sai dai ban da sarƙoƙin nan.”
And Paul [said], I would to God, both in little and in much, that not only thou, but all who have heard me this day, should become such as I also am, except these bonds.
30 Sai sarki ya tashi, haka kuma gwamna da Bernis da kuma waɗanda suke zaune tare da su.
And the king stood up, and the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them,
31 Suka bar ɗakin, kuma yayinda suke magana da juna, sai suka ce, “Wannan mutum ba ya yin kome da ya isa kisa ko dauri.”
and having gone apart, they spoke to one another saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Festus, “Da ba don wannan mutum ya ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar ba da an sake shi.”
And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been let go if he had not appealed to Caesar.
