Ayyukan Manzanni 22
1 “Yanuwa da Ubanni, ku saurari kariya ta zuwa gare ku yanzu.”
MEN, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2 Da taron sun ji Bulus na magana a harshen Ibraniyawa sai sun yi tsit. Ya ce,
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith, )
3 Ni Bayahude ne daga garin Tarwasa na Kilikiya, amma a karkashin Gamaliyal aka ilimantar da ni. An horar da ni sosai bisa ga bin hanyar dokokin kakkaninmu. Ina da himma ga bin Allah kamar yadda ku ma kuna da ita.
I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4 Na tsananta wa wannan Hanyan har ga mutuwa; na daure maza da mata sa'annan na jefa su cikin gidan yari.
And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5 Hakannan ma babban firist da dukan dattawa za su ba da shaida cewa na karbi izini daga wurinsu domin 'yan'uwa da ke a Dimashku, saboda in tafi can. Haki na shine in daure mabiyan Hanyan nan, in kawo su Urushalima domin a hukunta su.
As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6 Sa'anda ina cikin tafiya, ina kuma kusa da Dimashku, da tsakar rana sai farat daya ga babban haske daga sama ya haskaka kewaye dani.
And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7 Na fadi kasa sa'anan na ji murya na ce da ni, 'Shawulu, Shawulu, don me kake tsananta mani?'
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8 Na amsa, 'Wanene kai, Ubangiji?' Ya ce mani, 'Nine Yesu Banazarat wanda kake tsananta wa.'
And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9 Wadanda ke tare da ni sun ga hasken, amma ba su gane muryar wanda ya yi magana da ni ba.
And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10 Na ce, 'Me zan yi ya Ubangiji?” Ubangiji ya ce mani, 'Tashi ka tafi cikin Dimashku, a can za a fada maka abinda wajibi ne ka yi.
And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11 Ban iya ganin wuri ba domin walkiyar hasken, sai na tafi cikin Dimashku ta wurin jagorancin wadanda ke tare da ni.
And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12 A can na sami wani mai suna Ananiya, mai tsoron Allah bisa ga sharia, da kyakyawan suna kuma a gaban Yahudawa da ke zama a can.
And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Ya zo gare ni ya ce, 'Dan'uwa Shawulu, karbi ganin gari.' A daidai wannan sa'a na gan shi.
Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 Sa'annan ya ce, 'Allah na kakkaninmu ya zabe ka ka san nufinsa, ka ga Mai Adalcin nan, ka kuma ji muryar da ke fitowa daga bakinsa.
And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15 Gama za ka zama mashaidinsa ga dukan mutane game da abinda ka gani da wanda ka ji.
For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 A yanzu me ka ke jira? 'Tashi a yi maka baftisma a wanke zunubanka, kana kira bisa sunansa.'
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17 Bayan da na dawo Urushalima, sa'anda ina addu'a a cikin haikali, sai na karbi wahayi.
And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18 Na gan shi ya ce mani, 'Gaggauta ka bar Urushalima yanzu, domin ba za su yarda da shaidarka game da ni ba.'
And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 Na ce, 'Ubangiji, su da kansu sun san yadda na sa su a kurkuku na kuma doddoke wadanda suka gaskanta da kai a kowacce masujada.
And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20 A sa'anda a ke zubar da jinin mashaidinka Istifanus, ina nan tsaye ina goyon baya, ina kuma lura da rigunan wadanda suka kashe shi.'
And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21 Amma ya ce mani, 'Tafi, domin zan aike ka can wurin Al'ummai.'
And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22 Mutanen sun bar shi yayi magana har zuwa ga wannan lokacin. Amma sai suka ta da murya suna cewa, 'A kawar da wannan dan taliki daga duniya: don bai kamata ya rayu ba.'
And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23 Sa'anda suke tadda muryarsu, suna jefar da tufafinsu da kuma baza kura a iska,
And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24 babban hafsan ya umarta a kawo Bulus a farfajiyan. Ya umarta da cewa a bincike shi da bulala, domin ya san dalilin da suka ta da ihu gaba da shi haka.
The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25 Bayan da suka daure shi da tsirkiya, Bulus ya ce wa Jarumin da ke kusa da shi, “Ko daidai ne bisa ga doka a yi wa Barome wanda ma sharia ba ta kashe shi ba bulala?”
And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26 Da Jarumin ya ji haka, ya tafi wurin babban hafsan, yana cewa, “Me kake so ka yi? Gama wanan mutumin dan asalin Roma ne.”
When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27 Babban hafsa ya zo ya ce masa, “Gaya mani, kai dan asalin Roma ne?” Bulus ya ce, “Haka ne.”
Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28 Babban hafsan ya amsa masa, “Da kudi masu yawa na sayi yancin zama dan kasa.” Amma Bulus ya ce, “An haife ni dan kasar Roma.
And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29 “Sai mutanen da sun zo su tuhume shi sun bar shi nan da nan. Babban hafsa shi ma ya tsorata da ya gane Bulus dan asalin Roma ne, domin ya riga ya daure shi.
Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30 Washegari, babban hafsan ya so ya san gaskiyar tuhuma da Yahudawa suke yi a kan Bulus. Sai ya kwance shi daga sarka, ya kuma umarci babban firist da dukan majalisa su sadu. Sai ya kawo Bulus ya sa shi a tsakiyarsu.
On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
