Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “An ba ka izini ka yi magana.” Saboda haka Bulus ya yi alama da hannunsa ya fara kāriyarsa.
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
Ya ce, “Sarki Agiriffa, na yi sa’a da na tsaya a gabanka yau yayinda nake kāriyata game da dukan zargin Yahudawa,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
musamman ma domin ka saba sosai da dukan al’adun Yahudawa da kuma maganganunsu. Saboda haka ina roƙonka ka saurare ni da haƙuri.
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
“Yahudawa duk sun san yadda na yi rayuwa tun ina yaro, daga farkon rayuwata a ƙasarmu da kuma a Urushalima.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Sun san ni tun da daɗewa za su kuwa shaida, in suna so, cewa bisa ga ɗarikar addininmu mafi tsanani, na yi rayuwar Bafarisiye ne.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Yanzu kuwa saboda begena cikin abin da Allah ya yi wa kakanninmu alkawari ne, ake mini shari’a yau.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Wannan shi ne alkawarin da kabilanmu goma sha biyu suke bege su ga cikawarsa, yayinda suke bauta wa Allah da himma dare da rana. Ya Sarki, saboda wannan bege ne fa Yahudawa suke zargena.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Don me wani a cikinku zai yi shakka cewa Allah yana tā da matattu?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Ni ma a dā na tabbata cewa ya kamata in yi duk abin da zan iya yi domin in yi gāba da sunan Yesu Banazare.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
Abin da na yi ke nan a Urushalima. Da izinin manyan firistoci na sa tsarkaka da yawa a kurkuku, sa’ad da kuma ake kashe su, nakan ka da ƙuri’ata gāba da su.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Sau da dama nakan bi majami’a-majami’a, in sa a yi musu hukunci. Na kuma yi ƙoƙarin tilasta su su yi saɓo. Don kuma tsananin fushi da su, sai da na fafare su har waɗansu garuruwa na ƙetaren iyaka, ina tsananta musu.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
“A cikin irin tafiye-tafiyen nan ne ina kan hanya zuwa Damaskus tare da izini daga manyan firistoci.
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
Da tsakar rana, ya sarki, sa’ad da nake kan hanya, sai na ga wani haske daga sama, fiye da hasken rana, yana haskakawa kewaye da ni da abokan tafiyata.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Dukanmu muka fāɗi ƙasa, na kuwa ji wata murya tana ce mini da harshen Arameyik, ‘Shawulu, Shawulu, don me kake tsananta mini? Yana da wuya ka shuri tsinken tsokanar dabba.’
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
“Sai na yi tambaya na ce, ‘Wane ne kai, ya Ubangiji?’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ni ne Yesu wanda kake tsananta wa.
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
Yanzu ka tashi, ka tsaya da ƙafafunka. Na bayyana a gare ka don in naɗa ka bawa da kuma mai shaidar abin da ka gani game da ni da kuma abin da zan nuna maka.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Zan tsirar da kai daga mutanenka da kuma daga Al’ummai. Ina aikan ka zuwa gare su domin
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
ka buɗe idanunsu su kuwa juyo daga duhu zuwa haske, daga mulkin Shaiɗan kuma zuwa wurin Allah, domin su sami gafarar zunubai da kuma matsayi a cikin waɗanda aka tsarkake ta wurin bangaskiya a cikina.’
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“Saboda haka fa, Sarki Agiriffa, ban yi rashin biyayya ga wahayin nan daga sama ba.
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Da farko ga waɗanda suke a Damaskus, sa’an nan ga waɗanda suke a Urushalima da kuma cikin dukan Yahudiya, da kuma ga Al’ummai su ma, na yi wa’azi don su tuba su juyo ga Allah su kuma tabbatar da tubansu ta wurin ayyukansu.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Shi ya sa Yahudawa suka kama ni a filin haikali suka kuma yi ƙoƙarin kashe ni.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
Amma na sami taimakon Allah har yă zuwa yau. Yanzu ga ni a tsaye a nan, ina shaida ga babba da yaro. Ba na faɗin kome fiye da abin da annabawa da Musa suka ce zai faru,
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
cewa Kiristi zai sha wahala, kuma a matsayin wanda yake na fari da zai tashi daga matattu, zai yi shelar haske ga mutanensa da kuma Al’ummai.”
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
A nan ne fa Festus ya tsai da kāriyar Bulus. Ya yi ihu ya ce, “Bulus! Kai dai ruɗaɗɗe ne, yawan karatunka yana juya maka kai.”
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ba na hauka, ya mafifici Festus. Abin da nake faɗi gaskiya ne da kuma mai kyau.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
Sarki ya san waɗannan abubuwa, ina kuma iya yin magana da shi a sake. Na tabbata cewa ba ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan da ya kuɓuce saninsa, domin ba a ɓoye aka yi shi ba.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Sarki Agiriffa ka gaskata da annabawa? Na san ka gaskata.”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Bulus, “Kana tsammani cewa a cikin ɗan ƙanƙanin lokaci kana so ka mai da ni Kirista?”
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
Bulus ya amsa ya ce, “Ko a ɗan lokaci, ko a lokaci mai yawa, ina addu’a ga Allah cewa, ba kai kaɗai ba amma duk waɗanda suke saurare ni a yau su zama abin da nake, sai dai ban da sarƙoƙin nan.”
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Sai sarki ya tashi, haka kuma gwamna da Bernis da kuma waɗanda suke zaune tare da su.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Suka bar ɗakin, kuma yayinda suke magana da juna, sai suka ce, “Wannan mutum ba ya yin kome da ya isa kisa ko dauri.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Sai Agiriffa ya ce wa Festus, “Da ba don wannan mutum ya ɗaukaka ƙara zuwa gaban Kaisar ba da an sake shi.”
