Acts 16
1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
Bulus ya kai Derbe sa’an nan kuma zuwa Listira, inda wani almajiri mai suna Timoti yake da zama, wanda mahaifiyarsa mutuniyar Yahuda ce kuma mai bi ce, amma mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
’Yan’uwa a Listira da Ikoniyum sun yi magana mai kyau ƙwarai a kansa.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
Bulus ya so ya ɗauke shi a tafiyar, saboda haka ya yi masa kaciya, domin Yahudawan da suke da zama a wurin, don duk sun san cewa mahaifinsa mutumin Hellenawa ne.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.
Yayinda suke tafiya daga gari zuwa gari, suka dinga ba da shawarwarin da manzanni da dattawa a Urushalima suka zartar domin mutane su kiyaye.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Saboda haka ikkilisiyoyi suka ginu cikin bangaskiya suka kuma yi girma suka yi ta ƙaruwa kowace rana.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Bulus da abokan tafiyarsa suka zazzaga dukan yankin Firjiya da Galatiya, don Ruhu Mai Tsarki ya hana su yin wa’azi a lardin Asiya.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Da suka isa kan iyakar Misiya, suka yi ƙoƙari su shiga Bitiniya, amma Ruhun Yesu bai yarda musu ba.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Saboda haka suka ratsa Misiya suka zo Toruwas.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
Da dare Bulus ya ga wahayin wani mutumin Makidoniya yana tsaye yana roƙonsa cewa, “Ka zo Makidoniya ka taimake mu.”
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.
Bayan Bulus ya ga wahayin, muka shirya nan take mu tashi zuwa Makidoniya, mun tabbata cewa, Allah ya kira mu mu yi musu wa’azin bishara.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Daga Toruwas muka tashi zuwa teku muka kuma shiga jirgin ruwa muka miƙe kai tsaye zuwa Samotiras, kashegari kuma muka nufi Neyafolis.
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
Daga can muka tafi Filibbi, wata babbar alkaryar Roma wadda kuma take babban birni a gundumar Makidoniya. Muka zauna a can kwanaki masu yawa.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.
A Asabbaci, muka fita ƙofar birnin zuwa bakin kogi, inda muke tsammani za mu sami wurin yin addu’a. Muka zauna muka fara yin wa matan da suka taru a can magana.
14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
Ɗaya daga cikin waɗanda suka saurare mu mace ce mai suna Lidiya, mai sayar da yadunan jan garura masu tsada daga birnin Tiyatira, mai yi wa Allah sujada. Ubangiji ya buɗe zuciyarta har ta karɓi saƙon Bulus.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Da aka yi mata baftisma tare da iyalin gidanta, sai ta gayyace mu zuwa gidanta. Ta ce, “In kun amince ni mai bi ce cikin Ubangiji, sai ku zo ku sauka a gidana.” Sai ta kuwa rinjaye mu.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
Wata rana muna tafiya zuwa wurin yin addu’a, sai muka sadu da wata baranya mai ruhun aljani mai duba. Takan samo wa mutanenta kuɗi da yawa, duban da take yi.
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
Wannan yarinya kuwa ta bi Bulus da kuma sauranmu, tana ihu tana cewa, “Waɗannan mutane bayin Allah Mafi Ɗaukaka ne, suna sanar da ku hanyar ceto.”
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
Ta yi ta faɗin haka har kwanaki masu yawa. A ƙarshe Bulus ya damu ƙwarai sai ya juya ya ce wa aljanin, “A cikin sunan Yesu Kiristi na umarce ka, ka rabu da ita!” Nan take aljanin ya rabu da ita.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;
Da iyayengijin baranyar suka ga hanyar samun kuɗinsu ta toshe, sai suka kama Bulus da Sila suka ja su zuwa cikin kasuwa don su fuskanci hukuma.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Sai suka kawo su a gaban alƙalai suka ce, “Waɗannan Yahudawa ne, suna kuma birkitar mana da gari,
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
ta wurin koyar da al’adun da ba daidai ba ne mu Romawa mu karɓa ko mu aikata.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Sai taron suka fāɗa wa Bulus da Sila gaba ɗaya, alƙalan kuwa suka yi umarni a tuɓe su a kuma yi musu dūka.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Bayan an yi musu bulala sosai, sai aka jefa su cikin kurkuku, aka umarci mai gadin kurkukun yă tsare su da kyau.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Da karɓan irin umarnan nan, sai ya sa su can cikin ɗakin kurkuku na ciki-ciki, kuma ya ɗaura ƙafafunsu a turu.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Wajen tsakar dare Bulus da Sila suna addu’a suna rera waƙoƙi ga Allah, sauran’yan kurkuku kuwa suna sauraronsu.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
Ba zato ba tsammani sai aka yi wata babbar girgizar ƙasa har tushen ginin kurkukun ya jijjiga. Nan da nan sai duk ƙofofin kurkukun suka bubbuɗe, sarƙoƙin kowa kuma suka ɓaɓɓalle.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
Mai gadin kurkukun ya farka daga barci, sa’ad da ya ga ƙofofin kurkukun a buɗe, sai ya zāre takobinsa yana shirin kashe kansa domin ya ɗauka’yan kurkukun sun gudu.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Amma Bulus ya yi ihu ya ce, “Kada ka yi wa kanka lahani! Dukanmu muna nan!”
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Mai gadin kurkukun ya kira a kawo fitilu, ya ruga ciki ya fāɗi yana rawan jiki a gaban Bulus da Sila.
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Sai ya fito da su waje ya kuma tambaye su ya ce, “Ranku yă daɗe, me zan yi domin in sami ceto?”
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Suka amsa suka ce, “Ka gaskata da Ubangiji Yesu, za ka sami ceto, kai da iyalinka.”
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Sa’an nan suka yi masa maganar Ubangiji shi da kuma dukan sauran da suke a gidansa.
33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;
A wannan sa’a na daren, mai gadin kurkukun ya ɗauke su ya wanke musu raunukansu; nan take aka yi masa baftisma da dukan iyalinsa.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya kawo su cikin gidansa ya ba su abinci; ya kuwa cika da murna don yă gaskata da Allah, shi da dukan iyalinsa.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Da gari ya waye, sai alƙalan suka aika ma’aikatansu wajen mai gadin kurkukun da umarni cewa, “Ka saki mutanen nan.”
36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.
Sai mai gadin kurkukun ya gaya wa Bulus cewa, “Alƙalai sun ba da umarni a sake ku kai da Sila. Yanzu sai ku tafi. Ku sauka lafiya.”
37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!
Amma Bulus ya ce wa ma’aikatan, “Sun yi mana dūka a fili ba tare da shari’a ba, ko da yake mu’yan ƙasar Roma ne, suka kuma jefa mu cikin kurkuku. Yanzu suna so su fitar da mu a ɓoye? A’a! Sai dai su zo da kansu su rako mu waje.”
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Sai ma’aikatan suka faɗa wa alƙalan wannan, da suka ji cewa Bulus da Sila Romawa ne, sai suka ji tsoro.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Sai suka zo don su roƙe su, suka yi musu rakiya daga kurkukun, suna roƙonsu su bar birnin.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Bayan Bulus da Sila suka fita daga kurkukun, sai suka tafi gidan Lidiya, inda suka sadu da’yan’uwa suka kuma ƙarfafa su. Sa’an nan suka tafi.
