1 A littafina na farko, Tiyofilus, na rubuta game da dukan abin da Yesu ya fara yi, da abin da ya koyar
In my first book, O Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 har zuwa ranar da aka ɗauke shi zuwa sama, bayan ya ba da umarnai ta wurin Ruhu Mai Tsarki ga manzannin da ya zaɓa.
until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen.
3 Bayan wahalarsa, ya bayyana kansa ga waɗannan mutane ya kuma ba da tabbatattun alamu masu yawa cewa yana da rai. Ya bayyana a gare su har kwana arba’in ya kuma yi musu magana game da mulkin Allah.
After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 A wani lokaci, yayinda yake ci tare da su, ya ba su wannan umarni, “Kada ku bar Urushalima, amma ku jira kyautar da Ubana ya yi alkawari, wadda kuka ji na yi magana a kai.
And while they were gathered together, He commanded them: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift the Father promised, which you have heard Me discuss.
5 Gama Yohanna ya yi baftisma daruwa, amma a cikin’yan kwanaki za a yi muku baftisma da Ruhu Mai Tsarki.”
For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Saboda haka, sa’ad da suka taru, sai suka tambaye shi, “Ubangiji, a wannan lokaci za ka mayar da mulki ga Isra’ila?”
So when they came together, they asked Him, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Ya ce musu, “Ba naku ba ne ku san lokuta ko ranakun da Uban ya shirya cikin ikonsa.
Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority.
8 Amma ku za ku karɓi iko sa’ad da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sauka a kanku; za ku kuma zama shaiduna cikin Urushalima, da kuma cikin dukan Yahudiya da Samariya, zuwa kuma iyakar duniya.”
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Bayan ya faɗi wannan, sai aka ɗauke shi sama a idanunsu sai wani girgije ya rufe shi daga ganinsu.
After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
10 Suna zuba ido a bisa, zuwa cikin sararin sama yayinda yake tafiya, nan da nan, sai ga mutane biyu saye da fararen riguna tsaye kusa da su.
They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.
11 Sai suka ce, “Mutanen Galili, don me kuke tsaye a nan kuna duban sararin sama? Wannan Yesu, wanda aka ɗauke daga gare ku zuwa sama, zai komo daidai yadda kuka ga ya tafi sama.”
“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”
12 Sai suka koma Urushalima daga tudun da ake kira Dutsen Zaitun, tafiyar ranar Asabbaci guda daga birnin.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near the city, a Sabbath day’s journey away.
13 Da suka iso, sai suka hau gidan sama, zuwa ɗakin da suke zama. Waɗanda suka kasance kuwa su ne, Bitrus, Yohanna, Yaƙub da Andarawus; Filibus da Toma; Bartolomeyu da Mattiyu; Yaƙub ɗan Alfayus da Siman Zilot, da kuma Yahuda ɗan Yaƙub.
When they arrived, they went to the upper room where they were staying: Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 Waɗannan duka suka duƙufa cikin addu’a, tare da waɗansu mata da Maryamu mahaifiyar Yesu, da kuma tare da’yan’uwansa.
With one accord they all continued in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 A waɗancan kwanakin Bitrus ya miƙe tsaye cikin’yan’uwa masu bi (taron da ya yi kusan mutum ɗari da ashirin)
In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (a gathering of about a hundred and twenty) and said,
16 ya ce, “’Yan’uwana, dole a cika Nassin nan da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya yi magana tun da daɗewa ta bakin Dawuda game da Yahuda, wanda ya zama jagora ga waɗanda suka kama Yesu
“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.
17 dā shi ɗaya ne cikinmu, ya kuma yi hidima a cikin aikin nan.”
He was one of our number and shared in this ministry.”
18 (Da ladar da ya samu saboda muguntarsa Yahuda ya sayi wani fili; a can ya fāɗi da kā, jikinsa ya fashe, hanjinsa kuma duk suka zubo.
(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
19 Kowa a Urushalima ya ji game da wannan, saboda haka suka kira wannan filin Akeldama, da yarensu, wato, Filin Jini.)
This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 Bitrus ya ce, “Gama yana a rubuce a cikin Littafin Zabura cewa, “‘Bari wurinsa yă zama babu kowa; kada kowa ya zauna a cikinsa,’ kuma, “‘Bari wani ya ɗauki matsayinsa na shugabanci.’
“For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and, ‘May another take his position.’
21 Saboda haka dole a zaɓi ɗaya daga cikin mutanen da suke tare da mu duk lokacin da Ubangiji Yesu yake shiga da fita a cikinmu,
Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have accompanied us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 farawa daga baftisma ta Yohanna har zuwa sa’ad da aka ɗauke Yesu daga gare mu. Gama dole ɗaya daga waɗannan ya zama shaidar tashinsa daga matattu tare da mu.”
beginning from John’s baptism until the day Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Saboda haka suka gabatar da mutane biyu. Yusuf mai suna Barsabbas (da aka kuma sani da Yustus) da kuma Mattiyas.
So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias.
24 Sai suka yi addu’a suka ce, “Ubangiji, ka san zuciyar kowa. Nuna mana wanne a cikin waɗannan biyu da ka zaɓa
And they prayed, “Lord, You know everyone’s heart. Show us which of these two You have chosen
25 ya karɓi wannan aikin manzanci, wanda Yahuda ya bari don yă tafi wurin da yake nasa.”
to take up this ministry and apostleship, which Judas abandoned to go to his rightful place.”
26 Sa’an nan suka jefa ƙuri’u, ƙuri’ar kuwa ta fāɗo a kan Mattiyas; sai aka sa shi cikin manzannin nan goma sha ɗaya.
Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles.
