Ayyukan Manzanni 26

1 Sai Agaribas ya ce wa Bulus, “Za ka iya kare kan ka.” Sai Bulus ya daga hannunsa ya fara kare kansa.

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Yoʋ have permission to speak for yoʋrself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and began to make his defense:

2 “Ina farinciki, ya sarki Agaribas, game da saran da Yahudawa ke kawowa a kaina yau;

“I consider myself fortunate that it is before yoʋ, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense today concerning all the things of which I am being accused by the Jews,

3 musamman ma don kai masani ne game da al'adun Yahudawa da al'amuransu. Don haka, ina rokanka ka yi hakuri ka saurare ni.

especially since yoʋ are acquainted with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg yoʋ to listen to me patiently.

4 Hakika, dukan Yahudawa sun san yadda na yi rayuwa ta daga kurciyata a kasa ta, da kuma Urushalima.

“All the Jews know about my manner of life from my youth up, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem.

5 Sun san ni tun farko, kuma yakamata su yarda cewa na yi rayuwa kamar Bafarase, darikan nan mai tsatsauran ra'ayi ta addininmu.

They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.

6 Yanzu ina tsaye a nan dominn a shari'anta ni, saboda alkawalin da Allah ya yi wa ubanninmu.

And now I am standing trial because of my hope in the promise God made to our fathers,

7 Domin wannan shine alkawalin da kabilunmu goma sha biyu suka sa zuciya su karba, yayin da suke yin sujada da himma ga Allah dare da rana. Saboda wanan bege, Sarki Agaribas, Yahudawa ke tuhuma ta.

a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him night and day. Regarding this hope, King Agrippa, I am being accused by the Jews.

8 Me ya sa wani zai yi tunani cewa abin mamaki ne Allah ya ta da mattatu?

Why is it deemed unbelievable by you that God raises the dead?

9 Da, na yi tunanin yin abubuwa gaba da sunan Yesu Banazarat.

“Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Na yi wadanan a Urshalima. Na kulle masu bi da yawa a kurkuku, sanadiyar iko da na samu daga wurin manyan firistoci, kuma da ake kashe su ma, ina ba da goyon baya.

And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. I locked up many of the saints in prison by the authority I received from the chief priests, and when they were being put to death, I cast my vote against them.

11 Na wahalshe su sau dayawa a cikin dukan majamiu ina kuma yin kokari in tilasta masu su yi sabo. Na yi gaba mai zafi da su kuma na tsananta masu har zuwa birane na wadansu kasashe.

I also punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. And being furiously enraged against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.

12 A sa'anda nake yin wannan, na tafi Dimashku da izinin manyan firistoci;

“While engaged in such things, I was on my way to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

13 a cikin tafiyata kuma, da tsakar rana, ya sarki, na ga haske daga sama da ya fi rana sheki, ya haskaka kewaye da ni da kuma wadanda ke tafiya tare da ni.

when at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who were traveling with me.

14 Da dukanmu muka fadi kasa, na ji wata murya na magana da ni a harshen Ibraniyawa tana cewa, 'Shawulu, Shawulu, don me kake tsananta mani? Yana da wuya ka hauri abin da ke mai tsini.'

When we had all fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me? It is hard for yoʋ to kick against the goads.’

15 Sai na ce, 'Wanene kai ya Ubangiji?' Ubangiji ya amsa, 'Ni ne Yesu wanda kake tsanantawa.

I said, ‘Who are yoʋ, Lord?’ He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.

16 Yanzu ka tashi tsaye domin saboda wannan dalili ne na bayyana gare ka in sanya ka, ka zama bawa da mashaidi na game da abubuwan da ka sani a kaina yanzu da wadanda zan bayyana maka daga bisani;

But rise and stand on yoʋr feet, for I have appeared to yoʋ for this purpose, to appoint yoʋ as a servant and witness to the things yoʋ have seen and to the things in which I will appear to yoʋ.

17 Zan kubutar da kai daga wurin mutane da kuma al'ummai da zan aike ka wurinsu,

I will rescue yoʋ from yoʋr own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending yoʋ

18 domin ka bude idanunsu ka juyo su daga duhu zuwa haske da daga ikon Shaidan zuwa ga Allah, domin su karbi gafarar zunubai da gado da zan ba wadanda na kebe wa kaina ta wurin bangaskiya gare ni.'

to open their eyes so that they may turn away from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an allotment among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.’

19 Saboda haka, sarki Agaribas, ban yi rashin biyayya da wahayin da na gani daga sama ba;

“Consequently, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

20 amma, da farko ga wadanda ke a Dimashku, sa'annan a Urushalima da kasar Yahudiya gaba daya, da dukan Al'ummai, na yi wa'azi domin su tuba su kuma juyo ga Allah, su yi ayyukan da suka chanchanci tuba.

but first to those in Damascus and then to those in Jerusalem, to all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works consistent with repentance.

21 Domin wannan dalili ne Yahudawa suka kama ni a cikin haikali kuma suke kokari su kashe ni.

That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were trying to kill me.

22 Allah ya taimake ni har wa yau, domin in iya tsayawa gaban mutane kanana da manya, in bada shaida game da iyakar abin da annabawa da Musa suka fada zai faru;

But having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the Prophets and Moses said would take place:

23 wato lallai Almasihu zai sha wahala, ya kuma zama na farko da za'a rayar daga matattu ya kuma yi shelar haske zuwa ga mutanen Yahudawa da Al'ummai.”

that the Christ would suffer and that, as the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

24 Da Bulus ya gama kare kansa, Festas ya yi magana da babban murya, “Bulus, kana hauka; yawan iliminka yasa ka hauka.”

As Paul was saying these things in his own defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Yoʋ are out of yoʋr mind, Paul. Too much learning is driving yoʋ insane!”

25 Amma Bulus ya ce, “Ba na hauka, ya mai girma Festas; amma da karfin zuciya nake fadi kalmomin gaskiya da na natsuwa.

But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking words of truth and good sense.

26 Saboda sarkin ya san wadannan abubuwa duka; shi ya sa nake magana gabagadi, don na hakikance cewa, ba abin da ke a boye gare shi; gama ba a yi wadannan abubuwa a boye ba.

For the king knows about these things, to whom I am speaking boldly. I am convinced that none of these things has escaped his notice at all, for this has not been done in a corner.

27 Ko ka gaskanta da annabawa, Sarki Agaribas? Na sani ka gaskanta.”

Do yoʋ believe the Prophets, King Agrippa? I know that yoʋ believe.”

28 Agaribas ya ce wa Bulus, “A cikin karamin lokaci kana so ka rinjaye ni ka mai da ni Krista?”

Agrippa said to Paul, “Do yoʋ think yoʋ can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”

29 Bulus ya ce, “Ina roko ga Allah, domin ko a karamin lokaci ko a dogon lokaci, ba kai kadai ba, amma har da wadanda ke sauraro na yau su zama kamar ni, amma ban da wadannan sarkokin.”

Paul said, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that not only yoʋ but also all who are listening to me today would become as I am, except for these chains.”

30 Sai sarki ya tashi tsaye tare da gwamna da Barniki da dukan wadanda ke zaune tare da su;

After Paul said these things, the king stood up, along with the governor, Bernice, and those who were sitting with them.

31 da suka bar dakin taron, suka ci gaba da magana da juna suna cewa, “Wannan mutum bai yi wani abin da ya chanchanci mutuwa ko kuma dauri ba.”

After leaving the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is doing nothing that deserves death or imprisonment.”

32 Agaribas ya ce wa Fastos, “Da mutumin nan bai daukaka kara zuwa ga Kaisar ba da an sake shi.”

And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
