Ayyukan Manzanni 20
1 Bayan da rikici ya kare, Bulus ya aika a kira al'majiran, ya karfafa su. Sa'annan ya yi bankwana da su, ya tashi zai tafi Makidoniya.
After the people at Ephesus had stopped rioting, Paul summoned the believers. He encouraged them [to continue to trust in the Lord Jesus. Soon] after that, he told them goodbye and left to go to Macedonia [province].
2 Bayan ya ratsa cikin lardunan yana yi wa masu bi gargadi sosai, sai ya zo kasar Helenawa.
[After he arrived] there, he visited [each town where there were believers], and encouraged them. Then he arrived in Greece [province], [which is also called Achaia].
3 Sa'adda ya yi wata uku a wurin, Yahudawa suka kulla masa makirci, yayin da yake shirin hawa Jirgi zuwa Suriya, sai ya canza ra'ayi ya koma ta Makidoniya.
He stayed there for three months. Then he planned to return to Syria by ship, but [he heard that] some of the Jews [SYN] [in that area] were planning to kill him [as he traveled. So] he decided instead to go [by land, and he traveled] again through Macedonia.
4 Masu yi wa Bulus rakiyar zuwa yankin Asiya sun hada da Sobatarus dan Burus daga Biriya; Gayus mutumin Derbe; Timoti da Aristakus da Sakundus, dukansu masu bi ne daga Tasalonika; da Tikikus da Trofimus daga Asiya.
The men who were going to travel with him [to Jerusalem were] Sopater, [who was] a son of Pyrrhus, who grew up in Berea [town]; Aristarchus and Secundus, who were from Thessalonica [city; ] Gaius, [who was] from Derbe [town; ] Timothy, [who was from Galatia province; ] and Tychicus and Trophimus who were from Asia [province].
5 Amma wadansu har suka rigaye mu, suka jira mu a Taruwasa.
Those [seven] men went ahead of [Paul and me, Luke, by ship from Macedonia, so] they got to Troas [before we did and] waited for [the two of] us there.
6 Da muka shiga Jirgi daga Filibi bayan kwanakin Gurasa mara yisti; bayan kwanaki biyar muka iske su a Taruwasa; kwananmu bakwai a wurin.
[But we two(exc) traveled by land as far as] Philippi [city]. After the Jewish festival [when they eat] unleavened bread, we got on a ship [that was going from] the port near [Philippi to Troas city]. After five days we [(exc)] arrived at Troas and we met the other men who had traveled there [ahead of us]. Then we [all] stayed in Troas for seven days.
7 A rana ta fari ga mako, da muka taru domin karya gurasa. Bulus ya yi wa masubi jawabi, don ya yi niyyar ya tafi da wayewar gari; jawabinsa ya kai har tsakar dare.
(On Sunday evening/On the evening of the first day of the week), we [(exc) and the other believers there] gathered together to celebrate the Lord’s Supper [and to eat other food] [SYN]. Paul spoke to the believers. He continued teaching them until midnight, because he was planning to leave [Troas] the next day.
8 A benen da suka taru akwai fitilu da yawa.
Many [oil] lamps were burning in the upstairs room in which we [(exc)] had gathered, [so the fumes caused some people to become sleepy].
9 Wani matashi mai suna Aftikos yana zaune a kan taga, barci mai nauyi ya dauke shi; da shike Bulus ya tsawaita jawabinsa, saurayin da shike barci mai nauyi ya dauke shi sai ya fado daga kan bene na uku aka dauke shi matacce.
A young man whose name was Eutychus was there. He was seated on [the sill of] an [open] window [on the third story of the house]. As Paul continued talking for a long time, Eutychus became sleepier and sleepier. Finally, he was sound/really asleep. He fell [out of the window] from the third story down [to the ground. Some of the believers went down] immediately and picked him up. [But he was] dead.
10 Sai Bulus ya sauka ya mike a bisansa ya rungume shi, sa'annan ya ce, “Kada kowa ya damu; domin yana darai bai mutu ba.”
Paul [also] went down. He lay down and stretched out on top of the young man and put his arms around him. Then he said [to the people who were standing around], “Do not worry, he is alive [again now]!”
11 Sa'annan ya hawo kan bene domin cin gurasa tare da su, ya yi magana da su har gari ya waye daga nan ya bar su.
Then Paul, [along with the others], went upstairs again and they ate the Lord’s Supper and other food [SYN]. Afterwards, Paul conversed with the believers until dawn. Then he left.
12 Suka kawo saurayin da rai, sun sami ta'aziya ba kadan ba.
The [other] people took the young man [home], and were greatly encouraged because he was alive [again].
13 Amma mu, da muka riga Bulus zuwa gun Jirgin, muka shiga zuwa Asos, mun shirya mu dauki Bulus a jirgi amma shi ya kudurta ya yi tafiya a kasa.
We then went to the ship. Paul did not get on the ship [with us in Troas], because he preferred to go [more quickly] overland to Assos [town]. The rest of us got on the ship and sailed for Assos.
14 Da muka sadu a Asos, mun dauke shi a Jirgin ruwa zuwa Mitilitus.
We [(exc)] met Paul in Assos. He got on [the ship] with us, and we sailed to Mitylene [town].
15 Bayan tashin mu daga can, washegari muka zo tsibirin Kiyos. Washegari kuma muka zo birnin Militus.
The day after [we reached Mitylene], we [sailed from there and] arrived [at a place] near Kios [Island]. The day after that, we sailed to Samos [Island]. The next day we [left Samos and] sailed to Miletus [town].
16 Amma Bulus ya kudurta wucewa Afisa a Jirgi, don kada ya bata lokaci a Asiya, don yana sauri in ya yiwu ranar Fentekos ta same shi a Urushalima.
[Miletus was just south of Ephesus city]. Paul had [earlier] decided that he would not get on a ship that would stop at Ephesus, because he did not want to spend [several] days in Asia [province]. If possible, he wanted to arrive in Jerusalem by the [time of the] Pentecost festival, [and the time of that festival was near].
17 Daga Militus ya aika a kira masa dattawan iklisiyar Afisa.
[When the ship arrived at] Miletus, Paul sent [a messenger] to Ephesus to ask the elders of the congregation to come to talk with him.
18 Da suka zo wurinsa sai ya ce masu, “Ku da kanku kun san tun daga ranar da na sa kafata a Asiya, irin zaman da muka yi da kasancewar mu tare.
When the elders arrived, Paul said to them, “You personally know how I [conducted myself among you the entire time] that I was with you, from the first day when I arrived [here] in Asia [province until the day I left].
19 Na bauta wa Ubangiji da tawaliu har da hawaye, da wahalun da na sha saboda makircin Yahudawa.
[You know how] I was serving the Lord [Jesus] very humbly and how I sometimes wept [about people. You also know how] I suffered because the Jews [SYN] [who were not believers often] tried [to harm me].
20 Kun sani ban ji nauyin sanar da ku kowanne abu mai amfani ba, na bi ku gida gida ina koyar da ku abubuwa a sarari.
You also know that, as I preached [God’s message] to you, I never left out anything that would help you. You know that I taught you [God’s message] when many people were present, and I [also went to your] homes and taught it there.
21 Kunsan yadda na gargadi Yahudawa da Hellenawa game da tuba ga Allah da bangaskiya ga Ubangiji Yesu.
I preached both to Jews and to non-Jews, telling them [all] that they must turn away from their sinful behavior. [I also told them they should] believe in our Lord Jesus.”
22 Yanzu fa, gashi, zan tafi Urushalima, Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya nuna mani a fili dole in je, ban san abin da zai faru da ni a can ba.
“And now note this: I am going to Jerusalem, because [God’s] Spirit has clearly shown me that I must go there. I do not know what will happen to me [while I am there].
23 Sai dai Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya nuna mani a kowanne gari cewa, sarkoki da wahalu suna jira na.
But I do know that in each city [where I have stopped], the Holy Spirit has (told me/[caused the believers to] tell me) that [in Jerusalem] people will put me in prison [PRS] and will cause me to suffer [PRS].
24 Amma ban dauka cewa raina yana da wani amfani gare ni ba, domin in cika tsere da hidimar da na karba daga wurin Ubangiji Yesu, ta shaidar bisharan alherin Allah.
But I do not care even if people kill me, if first I am able to finish the work [MET] that the Lord Jesus has told me [to do. He appointed me] to tell people the good message that God [saves us] by doing for us what we do not deserve.
25 Yanzu fa, duba, na san dukanku, wadanda na yi wa wa'azin mulkin Allah, ba za ku kara gani na ba.
I have preached to you the message about how God desires to rule [people’s lives]. But now I know that today is the last time that you fellow believers will see me [SYN].
26 Don haka na shaida maku a wannan rana, ba ni da alhakin jinin kowanne mutum.
So I want you all to understand that if anyone [who has heard me preach] dies [without trusting in Jesus], it is not my fault [MTY],
27 Don banji nauyin sanar maku da dukan nufin Allah a gare ku ba.
because I told you [LIT] everything [HYP] that God has planned for us [(inc)].
28 Saboda haka ku kula da kanku, da masubi da Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya sanya ku shugabanni. Ku kula ku yi kiwon iklisiyar Allah, wadda ya saya da jininsa.
[You leaders] must continue to believe and obey [God’s message. You must also help] all the other believers [MET] for whom the Holy Spirit has caused you to be responsible [MTY]. Watch over [MET] yourselves and the other believers [as] a shepherd [watches over his sheep]. God bought them with the blood [that flowed from] his [Son’s body on the cross].
29 Na sani cewa bayan tafiyata, kyarketai masu zafi za su shiga tsakaninku, kuma baza su rangwanta wa masubi ba.
I know [very well] that after I leave, [people who teach] [MET] [false doctrines] will come among you and will do great harm to the believers. [They will be like] fierce wolves [that kill sheep].
30 Na sani har daga cikinku wadansu mazaje za su zo su fadi gurbattatun zantattuka, domin su janye almajirai zuwa gare su.
Even in your own group of believers there will be some who will deceive [other] believers by teaching them messages that are false. They will teach those messages so that some people [will believe them and] will become their followers.
31 Saboda haka ku yi lura. Ku tuna da cewa shekara uku ban fasa yi wa kowannenku gargadi da hawaye dare da rana ba.
So watch out [that none of you stops believing the true message about our Lord Jesus]. Remember that day and night for [about] three years I repeatedly taught you that message, and warned you with tears [in my eyes not to believe any other message].”
32 Yanzu ina mika ku ga Allah, da maganar Alherinsa, wadda take da ikon gina ku ta kuma ba ku gado tare da dukan wadanda ke cikin kebabbu na Allah.
“[Now as I leave you], I ask God to protect you and to keep you believing the message [that he saves us(inc)] by doing for us what we do not deserve. [If you continue believing] the message [that I told you], you will become [spiritually mature], and God will give you the blessings that he has promised to give to all of those who belong to him.
33 Ban yi kyashin azurfa, ko zinariya, ko tufafin wani ba.
[As for myself], I have not desired anyone’s money [MTY] or [fine] clothing.
34 Ku da kanku kun sani na yi aiki da hannuwana, na biya bukatu na da na wadanda ke tare da ni.
You yourselves know that I have worked [with my hands] [MTY] to earn the money that my companions and I needed.
35 Na zama maku abin koyi a kowace hanya game da yadda za ku taimaka wa nakasassu ta wurin aiki, da yadda za ku tuna da maganar Ubangiji Yesu, maganar da shi da kansa ya ce: ''Bayarwa tafi karba albarka.''
In everything that I did, I showed you that we [(inc)] should work hard in order [to have enough money] to give some to those who are needy. We [(inc)] should remember that our Lord Jesus himself said, ‘You are happy when people give you what you need, but God will be happy with you when you give other people what they need.’”
36 Bayan da ya yi magana haka, ya durkusa ya yi addu'a tare da su duka.
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of the elders and prayed.
37 Dukansu kuwa suka yi kuka mai tsannani, suka rungume shi kuma suka sunbace shi.
They all cried a lot, and they hugged Paul and kissed him.
38 Suka yi bakin ciki musamman domin abin da ya ce masu, ba za su kara ganinsa ba. Sai dukansu suka yi masa rakiya zuwa wurin jirgin ruwa.
They were especially sad because he had said that they would never see him [SYN] again. Then they [all] went with him to the ship.
