Ayyukan Manzanni 8
1 Shawulu kuwa yana can, yana tabbatar da mutuwarsa. A wannan rana wani babban tsanani ya auka wa ikkilisiyar da take a Urushalima, sai duka suka warwatsu ko’ina a Yahudiya da Samariya, manzanni kaɗai ne suka rage.
And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
2 Mutane masu tsoron Allah suka binne Istifanus suka kuma yi makoki ƙwarai dominsa.
and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
3 Amma Shawulu ya fara hallaka ikkilisiya. Yana shiga gida-gida, yana jan maza da mata yana jefa su cikin kurkuku.
and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
4 Waɗanda aka wartsar suka yi ta wa’azin maganar a duk inda suka tafi.
they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.
5 Filibus ya gangara zuwa wani birni a Samariya ya kuma yi shelar Kiristi a can.
And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
6 Sa’ad da taron mutane suka ji Filibus suka kuma ga abubuwan banmamakin da ya yi, sai duk suka mai da hankali sosai ga abin da ya faɗa.
the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
7 Mugayen ruhohi suka fiffito suna kururuwa daga cikin mutane da yawa, shanyayyu da guragu masu yawa suka sami warkarwa.
for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
8 Saboda haka aka yi farin ciki ƙwarai a birnin.
and there was great joy in that city.
9 To, akwai wani mutum mai suna Siman wanda ya kwana biyu yana yin sihiri a birnin har ya ba wa duk mutanen Samariya mamaki. Ya kuma yi taƙama cewa shi wani mai girma ne,
And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
10 dukan mutane kuwa, manyan da ƙanana, suka mai da hankali gare shi suka kuma ce, “Mutumin nan shi ne ikon Allah da aka sani a matsayin Iko Mai Girma”
to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'
11 Suka bi shi domin ya daɗe yana ba su mamaki da sihirinsa.
and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
12 Amma da suka gaskata da Filibus sa’ad da yake wa’azin labari mai daɗi na mulkin Allah da kuma sunan Yesu Kiristi, sai aka yi musu baftisma, maza da mata.
And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
13 Siman kansa ya gaskata aka kuma yi masa baftisma. Ya kuma bi Filibus ko’ina, yana mamakin manyan alamu da ayyukan banmamakin da ya gani.
and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
14 Sa’ad da manzannin da suke a Urushalima suka ji cewa Samariya ta karɓi maganar Allah, sai suka aika musu da Bitrus da Yohanna.
And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
15 Da suka iso, sai suka yi musu addu’a domin su karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki,
who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —
16 domin Ruhu Mai Tsarki bai riga ya sauka wa waninsu ba tukuna, an dai yi musu baftisma ne kawai a cikin sunan Ubangiji Yesu.
for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;
17 Sa’an nan Bitrus da Yohanna suka ɗibiya hannuwansu a kansu, suka kuwa karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.
then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Sa’ad da Siman ya ga cewa ana ba da Ruhu ta wurin ɗibiya hannuwan manzannin, sai ya miƙa musu kuɗi,
And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
19 ya ce, “Ni ma ku ba ni wannan iyawa don kowa na ɗibiya wa hannuwana yă karɓi Ruhu Mai Tsarki.”
saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'
20 Bitrus ya amsa ya ce, “Bari kuɗinka ya hallaka tare da kai, domin ka yi tsammani za ka iya saya kyautar Allah da kuɗi!
And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
21 Ba ruwanka da wannan hidimar, domin zuciyarka ba daidai take a gaban Allah ba.
thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
22 Ka tuba daga wannan mugunta ka kuma yi addu’a ga Ubangiji. Wataƙila zai gafarta maka don irin tunanin da yake a zuciyarka.
reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
23 Gama na lura kana cike da ɗacin rai kana kuma daure cikin zunubi.”
for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'
24 Sai Siman ya amsa ya ce, “Ku yi addu’a ga Ubangiji saboda ni don kada ko ɗaya daga cikin abin da ka faɗa ya same ni.”
And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'
25 Sa’ad da suka yi shaidar suka kuma yi shelar maganar Ubangiji, sai Bitrus da Yohanna suka koma Urushalima, suna wa’azin bishara a ƙauyukan Samariya masu yawa.
They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
26 To wani mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Filibus, “Ka yi kudu zuwa hanyar, hanyar hamada, da ta gangara daga Urushalima zuwa Gaza.”
And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.
27 Saboda haka ya kama hanya, a kan hanyarsa kuwa sai ya sadu da wani mutumin Itiyofiya, wanda yake bābā, hafsa mai muhimmanci wanda yake lura da dukan ma’ajin Kandas (wanda yake nufin “sarauniyar mutanen Itiyofiya”). Mutumin nan ya tafi Urushalima ne domin yin sujada,
And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
28 a kan hanyarsa ta komawa gida kuwa yana zaune bisan keken yaƙinsa yana karatun littafin annabin Ishaya.
he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Sai Ruhu ya ce wa Filibus, “Matsa wurin kekunan yaƙin nan ka yi kusa da ita.”
And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
30 Sai Filibus ya ruga zuwa wajen keken yaƙin ya kuma ji mutumin yana karatun littafin annabin Ishaya. Filibus ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ka fahimci abin da kake karantawa?”
and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'
31 Sai ya ce, “Ina fa zan iya, in ba dai wani ya fassara mini ba?” Saboda haka sai ya gayyaci Filibus yă hau yă zauna tare da shi.
and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
32 Bābān yana karanta wannan Nassin, “An ja shi kamar tunkiya zuwa mayanka, kuma kamar ɗan rago a hannun mai askin gashinsa yake shiru, haka kuwa bai buɗe bakinsa ba.
And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
33 A cikin wulaƙacinsa aka hana masa gaskiya. Wa zai iya yin zancen zuriyarsa? Gama an ɗauke ransa daga duniya.”
in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'
34 Sai bābān ya tambayi Filibus ya ce, “Ka gaya mini, ina roƙonka, annabin yana magana a kan wane ne, kansa ne, ko kuwa wani dabam?”
And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'
35 Sa’an nan Filibus ya fara da wannan Nassi ɗin ya kuma faɗa masa labari mai daɗi game da Yesu.
and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.
36 Yayinda suke cikin tafiya a kan hanya, sai suka iso wani wurin ruwa bābān nan ya ce, “Duba, ga ruwa. Me zai hana a yi mini baftisma?”
And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'
[And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']
38 Ya kuwa ba da umarni a tsai da keken yaƙin. Sa’an nan da Filibus da bābān suka gangara zuwa cikin ruwan Filibus kuwa ya yi masa baftisma.
and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
39 Sa’ad da suka fita daga cikin ruwan, sai Ruhun Ubangiji ya fyauce Filibus, bābān kuwa bai ƙara ganinsa ba, amma ya ci gaba da tafiyarsa yana farin ciki.
and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
40 Filibus kuwa ya fito a Azotus, ya yi ta zagawa, yana wa’azin bishara a dukan garuruwan sai da ya kai Kaisariya.
and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.
