Ayyukan Manzanni 7
1 Sai babban firist ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Waɗannan zargen gaskiya ne?”
Then the high priest said: Are these things so?
2 Game da wannan ya amsa ya ce, “’Yan’uwa da ubanni, ku saurare ni! Allah mai ɗaukaka ya bayyana ga kakanmu Ibrahim yayinda yake a ƙasar Mesofotamiya tukuna, kafin ya yi zama a Haran.
Who said: Ye men, brethren, and fathers, hear. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charan.
3 Allah ya ce, ‘Ka bar ƙasarka da kuma mutanenka, ka tafi ƙasar da zan nuna maka.’
And said to him: Go forth out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
4 “Saboda haka ya bar ƙasar Kaldiyawa ya kuma yi zama a Haran. Bayan mutuwar mahaifinsa, Allah ya aika da shi wannan ƙasar da yanzu kuke zama.
Then he went out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charan. And from thence, after his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein you now dwell.
5 Bai ba shi gādo a nan ba, ko taki ɗaya na ƙasa. Amma Allah ya yi masa alkawari cewa shi da zuriyarsa masu zuwa bayansa za su mallaki ƙasar, ko da yake a lokacin Ibrahim ba shi da yaro.
And he gave him no inheritance in it; no, not the pace of a foot: but he promised to give it him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
6 Allah ya yi magana da shi ta haka, ‘Shekara ɗari huɗu, zuriyarka za tă yi baƙunci a wata ƙasar da ba tasu ba, za su yi bauta su kuma sha wulaƙanci.
And God said to him: That his seed should sojourn in a strange country, and that they should bring them under bondage, and treat them evil four hundred years.
7 Amma zan hore ƙasar da suka bauta wa.’ Allah ya ce, ‘Kuma daga baya za su fita daga wannan ƙasa su kuma yi mini sujada a wannan wuri.’
And the nation which they shall serve will I judge, said the Lord; and after these things they shall go out, and shall serve me in this place.
8 Sa’an nan ya yi wa Ibrahim alkawari game da kaciya. Ibrahim kuwa ya zama mahaifin Ishaku ya kuma yi masa kaciya kwana takwas bayan haihuwarsa. Daga baya Ishaku ya zama mahaifin Yaƙub, Yaƙub kuma ya zama mahaifin kakanninmu sha biyun nan.
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision, and so he begot Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begot Jacob; and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
9 “Domin kakanninmu sun ji kishin Yusuf, sai suka sayar da shi bawa zuwa Masar. Amma Allah ya kasance tare da shi
And the patriarchs, through envy, sold Joseph into Egypt; and God was with him,
10 ya kuma cece shi daga dukan wahalolinsa. Ya ba wa Yusuf hikima ya kuma sa ya sami farin jini a wurin Fir’auna, sarkin Masar; saboda haka ya mai da shi mai mulki a kan Masar da kuma dukan fadarsa.
And delivered him out of all his tribulations: and he gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharao, the king of Egypt; and he appointed him governor over Egypt, and over all his house.
11 “Sai yunwa ta auko wa dukan Masar da Kan’ana, ta kawo wahala mai tsanani, kakanninmu ba su iya samun abinci ba.
Now there came a famine upon all Egypt and Chanaan, and great tribulation; and our fathers found no food.
12 Sa’ad da Yaƙub ya ji cewa akwai hatsi a Masar, sai ya aiki kakanninmu ziyararsu ta farko.
But when Jacob had heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent our fathers first:
13 A ziyararsu ta biyu, Yusuf ya faɗa wa’yan’uwansa wane ne shi, Fir’auna kuwa ya sami sani game da iyalin Yusuf.
And at the second time, Joseph was known by his brethren, and his kindred was made known to Pharao.
14 Bayan wannan, Yusuf ya aika a zo da mahaifinsa Yaƙub da dukan iyalinsa, gaba ɗaya dai mutum saba’in da biyar ne.
And Joseph sending, called thither Jacob, his father, and all his kindred, seventy-five souls.
15 Sai Yaƙub ya gangara zuwa Masar, inda shi da kuma kakanninmu suka mutu.
So Jacob went down into Egypt; and he died, and our fathers.
16 Aka dawo da gawawwakinsu Shekem aka binne su a kabarin da Ibrahim ya saya daga wurin’ya’yan Hamor da waɗansu kuɗi a Shekem.
And they were translated into Sichem, and were laid in the sepulchre, that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Hemor, the son of Sichem.
17 “Da lokaci ya yi kusa da Allah zai cika alkawarin da ya yi wa Ibrahim, sai yawan mutanenmu da suke a Masar ya ƙaru ƙwarai.
And when the time of the promise drew near, which God had promised to Abraham, the people increased, and were multiplied in Egypt,
18 Sa’an nan wani sarki, wanda bai san kome game da Yusuf ba, ya zama mai mulkin Masar.
Till another king arose in Egypt, who knew not Joseph.
19 Ya kuwa wulaƙanta mutanenmu sosai, ya kuma gwada wa kakanni-kakanninmu azaba ta wurin tilasta su su zubar da sababbin jariransu, don su mutu.
This same dealing craftily with our race, afflicted our fathers, that they should expose their children, to the end they might not be kept alive.
20 “A lokacin nan aka haifi Musa, shi kuwa ba kamar sauran jarirai ba ne. Wata uku aka yi renonsa a gidan mahaifinsa.
At the same time was Moses born, and he was acceptable to God: who was nourished three months in his father’s house.
21 Sa’ad da aka ajiye shi a waje, diyar Fir’auna ta ɗauke shi ta kuma rene shi kamar ɗanta.
And when he was exposed, Pharao’s daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
22 Musa ya sami ilimi cikin dukan hikimar Masarawa ya kuma zama mai iko cikin magana da ayyuka.
And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he was mighty in his words and in his deeds.
23 “Da Musa ya cika shekara arba’in da haihuwa, sai ya yanke shawara yă ziyarci’yan’uwansa Isra’ilawa.
And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren, the children of Israel.
24 Ya ga ɗayansu yana shan wulaƙanci a hannun wani mutumin Masar, sai ya je ya kāre shi, ya rama masa ta wurin kashe mutumin Masar ɗin.
And when he had seen one of them suffer wrong, he defended him; and striking the Egyptian, he avenged him who suffered the injury.
25 Musa ya yi tsammani mutanensa za su gane cewa, Allah yana amfani da shi don yă cece su, amma ba su gane ba.
And he thought that his brethren understood that God by his hand would save them; but they understood it not.
26 Kashegari, Musa ya sadu da Isra’ilawa biyu suna faɗa. Ya yi ƙoƙari ya sasanta su, yana cewa, ‘Ku mutane, ku’yan’uwa ne, don me kuke so ku cutar da juna?’
And the day following, he shewed himself to them when they were at strife; and would have reconciled them in peace, saying: Men, ye are brethren; why hurt you one another?
27 “Amma mutumin da yake wulaƙanta ɗayan, ya tura Musa a gefe ya ce, ‘Wa ya mai da kai mai mulki, da alƙali a kanmu?
But he that did the injury to his neighbour thrust him away, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge over us?
28 Kana so ka kashe ni kamar yadda ka kashe mutumin Masar nan na jiya?’
What, wilt thou kill me, as thou didst yesterday kill the Egyptian?
29 Sa’ad da Musa ya ji haka, sai ya gudu zuwa ƙasar Midiyan, inda ya yi baƙunci, ya kuma haifi’ya’ya biyu maza.
And Moses fled upon this word, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begot two sons.
30 “Bayan shekaru arba’in suka wuce, sai mala’ika ya bayyana ga Musa cikin harshen wuta a ɗan itace a hamada kusa da Dutsen Sinai.
And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the desert of mount Sina, an angel in a flame of fire in a bush.
31 Sa’ad da ya ga haka, ya yi mamakin abin da ya gani. Da ya yi kusa domin ya duba sosai, sai ya ji muryar Ubangiji ta ce,
And Moses seeing it, wondered at the sight. And as he drew near to view it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, saying:
32 ‘Ni ne Allahn kakanninka, Allah na Ibrahim, Ishaku, da kuma Yaƙub.’ Sai Musa ya yi rawan jiki don tsoro, bai kuwa yi karambanin dubawa ba.
I am the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses being terrified, durst not behold.
33 “Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce masa, ‘Ka cire takalmanka; wurin da kake tsayen nan mai tsarki ne.
And the Lord said to him: Loose the shoes from thy feet, for the place wherein thou standest, is holy ground.
34 Tabbatacce na ga wulaƙancin da ake yi wa mutanena a Masar. Na ji nishinsu na kuma sauka domin in’yantar da su. Yanzu ka zo, zan aike ka ka koma Masar.’
Seeing I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, and I will send thee into Egypt.
35 “Wannan Musa ɗin da suka ƙi suna cewa, ‘Wa ya mai da kai mai mulki da kuma alƙali?’ Allah da kansa ya aike shi, ta wurin mala’ikan da ya bayyana a gare shi a ɗan itace, yă zama mai mulkinsu, da kuma mai cetonsu.
This Moses, whom they refused, saying: Who hath appointed thee prince and judge? him God sent to be prince and redeemer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
36 Ya fitar da su daga Masar ya kuma yi ayyukan da abubuwan banmamaki a Masar, a Jan Teku, da kuma cikin hamada har shekara arba’in.
He brought them out, doing wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the desert forty years.
37 “Wannan Musa ne ya ce Isra’ilawa, ‘Allah zai aika muku wani annabi kamar ni daga cikin mutanenku.’
This is that Moses who said to the children of Israel: A prophet shall God raise up to you of your own brethren, as myself: him shall you hear.
38 Ya kasance a cikin taron nan a hamada, tare da mala’ikan da ya yi magana da shi a Dutsen Sinai, da kuma tare da kakanninmu; ya kuma karɓi kalmomi masu rai don yă miƙa mana.
This is he that was in the church in the wilderness, with the angel who spoke to him on mount Sina, and with our fathers; who received the words of life to give unto us.
39 “Amma kakanninmu suka ƙi yin masa biyayya. A maimakon haka, sai suka ƙi shi a cikin zuciyarsu kuwa suka koma Masar.
Whom our fathers would not obey; but thrust him away, and in their hearts turned back into Egypt,
40 Suka ce wa Haruna, ‘Ka yi mana allolin da za su yi mana jagora. Game da wannan Musa ɗin wanda ya fitar da mu daga Masar, ba mu san abin da ya faru da shi ba!’
Saying to Aaron: Make us gods to go before us. For as for this Moses, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.
41 A lokacin ne suka ƙera gunki mai siffar ɗan maraƙi. Suka kawo masa hadayu suka kuma yi bikin girmama abin da suka ƙera da hannuwansu.
And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifices to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
42 Sai Amma Allah ya juya musu baya ya kuma ba da su ga bautar abubuwan da suke a sararin sama. Wannan ya yi daidai da abin da yake a rubuce a cikin littafin annabawa cewa, “‘Kun kawo mini hadayu da sadakoki shekaru arba’in cikin, hamada, ya gidan Isra’ila?
And God turned, and gave them up to serve the host of heaven, as it is written in the books of the prophets: Did you offer victims and sacrifices to me for forty years, in the desert, O house of Israel?
43 Kun ɗaukaka gidan tsafin Molek, da tauraron allahnku Refan, gumakan da kuka ƙera don ku yi musu sujada. Saboda haka zan aike ku zuwa bauta’ gaba da Babilon.
And you took unto you the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rempham, figures which you made to adore them. And I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
44 “Kakanni-kakanninmu suna da tabanakul na Shaida tare da su a hamada. An yi shi bisa ga yadda Allah ya umarci Musa, bisa ga zānen da ya gani.
The tabernacle of the testimony was with our fathers in the desert, as God ordained for them, speaking to Moses, that he should make it according to the form which he had seen.
45 Bayan sun gāji tabanakul nan, kakanninmu a ƙarƙashin jagorancin Yoshuwa suka kawo shi tare da su, lokacin da suka ƙwace ƙasar daga al’umman da Allah ya kora a idanunsu. Tabanakul ɗin ya kasance a ƙasar har zamanin Dawuda,
Which also our fathers receiving, brought in with Jesus, into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David.
46 wanda ya sami tagomashi daga Allah, ya kuma nemi yă yi wa Allah na Yaƙub wurin zama.
Who found grace before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
47 Amma Solomon ne ya gina masa gida.
But Solomon built him a house.
48 “Duk da haka, Mafi Ɗaukaka ba ya zama a gidajen da mutane suka gina. Kamar yadda annabi ya faɗi cewa,
Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands, as the prophet saith:
49 “‘Sama ne kursiyina, duniya kuma wurin ajiye tafin ƙafata. Wane irin gida za ka gina mini? Ko kuwa ina wurin hutuna zai kasance? In ji Ubangiji.
Heaven is my throne, and the earth my footstool. What house will you build me? saith the Lord; or what is the place of my resting?
50 Ba hannuna ne ya yi dukan waɗannan abubuwa ba?’
Hath not my hand made all these things?
51 “Ku mutane masu taurinkai, da zukata da kuma kunnuwa marasa kaciya! Kuna kama da kakanninku. Kullum kuna tsayayya da Ruhu Mai Tsarki!
You stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do you also.
52 An yi wani annabin da kakanninku ba su tsananta wa ba? Sun ma kashe waɗanda suka yi maganar zuwan Mai Adalcin nan. Yanzu kuwa kun bashe shi kuka kuma kashe shi
Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them who foretold of the coming of the Just One; of whom you have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 ku da kuka karɓi dokar da aka sa a aiki ta wurin mala’iku amma ba ku yi biyayya da ita ba.”
Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
54 Da membobin Sanhedrin suka ji haka, sai suka yi fushi suka ciji haƙoransu.
Now hearing these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed with their teeth at him.
55 Amma Istifanus, cike da Ruhu Mai Tsarki, ya dubi sama ya kuma ga ɗaukakar Allah, da Yesu kuma tsaye a hannun dama na Allah.
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looking up steadfastly to heaven, saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God.
56 Ya ce, “Ga shi, na ga sama a buɗe da kuma Ɗan Mutum tsaye a hannun dama na Allah.”
And he said: Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
57 Da jin haka sai suka tattoshe kunnuwansu, suka kuma yi ihu da ƙarfi sosai, suka aukar masa gaba ɗaya.
And they crying out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and with one accord ran violently upon him.
58 Suka ja shi zuwa bayan birnin suka kuma yi ta jifansa da duwatsu. Ana cikin haka, shaidun suka ajiye tufafinsu a wurin wani saurayi mai suna Shawulu.
And casting him forth without the city, they stoned him; and the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man, whose name was Saul.
59 Yayinda suke cikin jifansa, sai Istifanus ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ubangiji Yesu, ka karɓi ruhuna.”
And they stoned Stephen, invoking, and saying: Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 Sa’an nan ya durƙusa ya ɗaga murya ya ce, “Ubangiji, kada ka riƙe wannan zunubi a kansu.” Da ya faɗi haka, sai ya yi barci.
And falling on his knees, he cried with a loud voice, saying: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep in the Lord.
