Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Kwana uku bayan isowa a lardin, sai Festus ya haura daga Kaisariya zuwa Urushalima,
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
inda manyan firistoci da shugabannin Yahudawa suka bayyana a gabansa suka kuma gabatar da ƙararsu a kan Bulus.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
Suka roƙi Festus a gaggauce a matsayin alfarma gare su, da yă sa a mai da Bulus Urushalima, gama sun’yan kwanto su kashe shi a hanya.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Festus ya amsa ya ce, “Bulus yana tsare a Kaisariya, ni da kaina kuma zan je can ba da daɗewa ba.
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Ku sa waɗansu daga cikin shugabanninku su tafi tare da ni su kawo ƙararsu a kan mutumin a can, in ya aikata wani laifi.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Bayan ya yi kwanaki takwas ko goma tare da su, sai ya gangara zuwa Kaisariya, kashegari kuma ya kira a yi zaman kotu ya kuma umarta a kawo Bulus a gabansa.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Da Bulus ya bayyana, sai Yahudawan da suka gangaro daga Urushalima suka tsaya kewaye shi, suna kawo ƙarar masu tsanani da yawa a kansa, waɗanda ba su iya tabbatarwa ba.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Sa’an nan Bulus ya kāre kansa ya ce, “Ban aikata wani laifi game da dokokin Yahudawa ko game da haikali ko kuma game da Kaisar ba.”
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Festus, da yake yana so yă yi wa Yahudawa alfarma, sai ya ce wa Bulus, “Ka yarda ka je Urushalima a yi maka shari’a a can a gabana a kan waɗannan zarge?”
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Yanzu ina tsaye a gaban kotun Kaisar, inda ya kamata a yi mini shari’a. Ban yi wani laifi ga Yahudawa ba, kai da kanka ma ka san da haka sarai.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
In kuwa ina da wani laifin da ya isa kisa, ban ƙi in mutu ba. Amma in ƙarar da waɗannan Yahudawa suka kawo a kaina ba gaskiya ba ne, ba wanda yake da iko ya ba da ni a gare su. Na ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar!”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Bayan Festus ya yi shawara da majalisarsa sai ya ce, “Ka ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar. To, ga Kaisar kuwa za ka tafi!”
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
Bayan’yan kwanaki sai Sarki Agiriffa da Bernis suka iso Kaisariya don su yi wa Festus gaisuwar bangirma.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Da yake za su yi kwanaki da dama a can, sai Festus ya tattauna batun Bulus da sarki. Ya ce, “Akwai mutumin da Felis ya bari a daure.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Sa’ad da na je Urushalima, manyan firistoci da dattawan Yahudawa suka kawo ƙara game da shi suka kuma nema a hukunta shi.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
“Na gaya musu cewa ba al’adar Romawa ba ce a hukunta mutum kafin ya fuskanci masu ƙararsa ya kuma sami damar kāre kansa game da ƙararsu.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
Da suka zo nan tare da ni, ban yi wani jinkiri ba, na kira zaman kotu kashegari kuma na umarta a kawo mutumin.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Sa’ad da masu zarginsa suka tashi tsaye don su yi magana, ba su zarge shi da wani laifin da na yi tsammani ba.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
A maimako haka, sai suka kawo waɗansu’yan maganganu game da addininsu da ba su yarda da shi ba da kuma game da wani Yesu da ya mutu wanda Bulus ya ce yana da rai.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Na rasa yadda zan bincike irin abubuwan nan; saboda haka na yi tambaya ko zai yarda ya tafi Urushalima a yi masa shari’a a can game da waɗannan zargi.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
Da Bulus ya ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Babban Sarki sai na umarta a tsare shi har kafin in aika shi zuwa ga Kaisar.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Festus, “Ni ma zan so in saurari mutumin da kaina.” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka kuwa ji shi gobe.”
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Kashegari Agiriffa da Bernis suka yi shiga irin ta sarauta suka shiga ɗakin jama’a tare da manyan sojoji da manyan mutanen birni. Da umarnin Festus, sai aka shigo da Bulus.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Sai Festus ya ce, “Sarki Agiriffa, da kuma dukan waɗanda suke tare da mu, kun ga wannan mutum! Dukan jama’ar Yahudawa sun kawo mini kararsa a Urushalima da kuma a nan Kaisariya, suna kururuwa suna cewa bai kamata a bar shi da rai ba.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
Ban same shi da wani laifin da ya isa kisa ba, amma saboda ya ɗaukaka ƙararsa zuwa gaban Babban Sarki sai na yanke shawara in aika da shi Roma.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
Ba ni da wata tabbatacciyar maganar da zan rubuta wa Mai Girma game da shi. Saboda haka na kawo shi a gabanku duka, musamman a gabanka, Sarki Agiriffa, saboda a sakamakon wannan bincike zan iya samun abin da zan rubuta.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Don a ganina wauta ce a aika da ɗan kurkuku ba tare da an nuna zargin da ake yi a kansa ba.”
