Masengo 23
1 Che Paolo ŵalolechesye kwannope ŵankungulu ŵala ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta achitiji, “Achalongo achinjangu, naatumichile Akunnungu kwa ntima wambone mpaka lelo jino.”
And Paul behelde earnestly the Councill, and sayde, Men and brethren, I haue in all good conscience serued God vntill this day.
2 Pelepo che Anania Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵalamwile kuti aŵala ŵaŵaliji kuŵandikana ni che Paolo ŵapute lijanda pakang'wa jao.
Then the hie Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth.
3 Nipele, che Paolo ŵansalile che Anania, “Akunnungu nsyene champute alakwe jwaulamba! Ana nomwejo nteemi pelepo kuti mulamule malinga ni malajisyo nomweji mwasyene ngankugakuya malajisyo kwa kwasalila ŵandu aambute?”
Then sayd Paul to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall: for thou sittest to iudge me according to the Lawe, and transgressing the Lawe, commaundest thou me to be smitten?
4 Ŵandu ŵaŵajimi pepala ŵala ŵansalile che Paolo “Mmwejo, nkuntukana Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwa Akunnungu?”
And they that stood by, sayd, Reuilest thou Gods hie Priest?
5 Ni che Paolo ŵatite, “Achalongo achinjangu nganinamanyililaga kuti ŵelewo ali Jŵambopesi Jwankulu. Pakuŵa Malembelo ga Akunnungu gakuti, ‘Ngasimmecheta yangalimate nkati jwankulu jwa ŵandu ŵenu.’”
Then sayd Paul, I knewe not, brethren, that he was the hie Priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speake euill of the ruler of thy people.
6 Nipele che Paolo ŵaimanyilile kuti mpingo umo wa ŵankungulu ŵala waliji Masadukayo ni wine waliji Mafalisayo. Nipele ŵanyanyisye kwannope paujo pa nkungulu ula achitiji, “Achalongo achinjangu, uneji ndili Mfalisayo mwanache jwa Mfalisayo. Uneji ndili pa nkungulu pa kulamulikwa ligongo ngulolela kuti ŵawe chasyuche.”
But when Paul perceiued that the one part were of the Sadduces, and the other of the Pharises, hee cried in the Council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharise, the sonne of a Pharise: I am accused of the hope and resurrection of the dead.
7 Palapala paŵaŵechete yeleyo, gakopochele makani gamakulungwa pasikati ja Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo ni nkungulu ula wasapulene.
And when hee had saide this, there was a dissension betweene the Pharises and the Sadduces, so that the multitude was deuided.
8 Pakuŵa Masadukayo akuti nganikupagwa kusyuka atamuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani, ni mbumu nombe nasyo nganisipagwa. Nambo Mafalisayo akwitichisya yanayose itatu.
For the Sadduces say that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharises confesse both.
9 Ngomo sila syapundile ni ŵampepe mwa ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ŵa mpingo ŵa Mafalisayo ŵajimi ni koposya maloŵe gao kwamachili achitiji, “Ngatukugawona magambo gagaligose kwa mundu ju, ikukomboleka mbumu pane katumetume jwa kwinani aŵechete ni jwelejo.”
Then there was a great crye: and the Scribes of the Pharises part rose vp, and stroue, saying, Wee finde none euill in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel hath spoken to him, let vs not fight against God.
10 Makani gala gapundile kuŵa gamakulungwa nnope, nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵajogopaga kuti ŵandu ŵala chankatanye che Paolo iŵaloiŵalo. Nipele, ŵaalamwile ŵangondo ŵakwe atuluchile kwauli mpingo wa ŵandu kula ni kunjigala che Paolo kwa machili ni kunjausya nkati.
And when there was a great dissension, the chiefe captaine, fearing lest Paul should haue bene pulled in pieces of them, commanded the souldiers to go downe, and take him from among them, and to bring him into the castel.
11 Chilo cho, Ambuje ŵajimi chiŵandi ni che Paolo ni kuti, “Nkamulisye ntima! Mumalasile umboni pa Yelusalemu pano, chintende iyoyo peyo ni ku Loma.”
Nowe the night folowing, the Lord stoode by him, and saide, Be of good courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified of mee in Hierusalem, so must thou beare witnesse also at Rome.
12 Pikwachele, Ŵayahudi ŵatesile ntemela. Ni ŵalitaŵilile kuti, “Ngatulya pane kung'wa chachili chose mpaka pachitwaulaje che Paolo.”
And when the day was come, certaine of the Iewes made an assemblie, and bounde themselues with a curse, saying, that they woulde neither eate nor drinke, till they had killed Paul.
13 Ŵandu ŵaŵatesile yeleyo wo ŵaliji ŵandu mpela alobaini.
And they were more then fourtie, which had made this conspiracie.
14 Nipele, ŵandu wo ŵajawile kwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni achachekulu ni kuti, “Tulitaŵilile twachinsyene kuti ngatupasya chachili chose mpaka pachitwaulaje che Paolo.
And they came to the chiefe Priestes and Elders, and said, We haue bound our selues with a solemne curse, that wee will eate nothing, vntill we haue slaine Paul.
15 Nipele sano, ŵanyamwe pamo ni ŵankungulu nnajisye utenga kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja kuti antulusye kukwenu nchinamanilaga kuti nkusakanga kumanyilila uchenene magambo gakwe. Noweji akanaŵandichile tuliŵichile chile kummulaga.”
Nowe therefore, ye and the Council signifie to the chiefe captaine, that hee bring him foorth vnto you to morow: as though you would know some thing more perfectly of him, and we, or euer he come neere, will be readie to kill him.
16 Nambo mwipwagwe che Paolo ŵapilikene ngani jo, nipele ŵaiche ni kwinjila mu likome mula ni kwasalila che Paolo nkati ngani jo.
But when Pauls sisters sonne heard of their laying awaite, he went, and entred into the castel, and tolde Paul.
17 Che Paolo ŵammilasile jumo jwa ŵangondo ni kunsalila, “Munjausye nchanda ju kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja pakuŵa akwete chindu chakwasalila.”
And Paul called one of the Centurions vnto him, and said, Take this yong man hence vnto the chiefe captaine: for he hath a certaine thing to shewe him.
18 Jwangondo jula ŵanjigele nchanda jula ni kulongana nawo mpaka kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo ni kuti, “Che Paolo jwantawe jula ŵamilasile ni kuumenda kuti nannyichenawo jwanchanda ju kukwenu pakuŵa akwete indu yakwasalila.”
So hee tooke him, and brought him to the chiefe captaine, and saide, Paul the prisoner called mee vnto him, and prayed mee to bring this yong man vnto thee, which hath some thing to say vnto thee.
19 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵankamwile nchanda jula nkono, ŵanjigele pachisyepela ni kummusya, “Ana nkusaka kuusalila chichi?”
Then the chiefe captaine tooke him by the hande, and went apart with him alone, and asked him, What hast thou to shewe me?
20 Nchanda jula ŵatite, “Ŵayahudi alangene kummenda alakwe malaŵi munjausye che Paolo pa Nkungulu, achinamanilaga kuti akusaka amanyilile uchenene ngani syakwe.
And he saide, The Iewes haue conspired to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring foorth Paul to morow into the Council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly:
21 Nambo alakwe ngasimwajitichisya pakuŵa kwana ŵandu kupunda alobaini ŵakwajuŵilila kwaulaga. Alitaŵilile kuti ngalya natamuno kung'wa chachili chose mpaka ŵaulaje che Paolo ni sambano akulolela ichinjile pakulamula.”
But let them not perswade thee: for there lie in waite for him of them, more then fourtie men, which haue bound themselues with a curse, that they will neither eate nor drinke, till they haue killed him: and nowe are they readie, and waite for thy promise.
22 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanlesile nchanda jula ajaule ni kunjamuka kuti, “Nkasala kwa mundu jwalijose kuti mumanyisye yeleyo.”
The chiefe captaine then let the yong man depart, after hee had charged him to vtter it to no man, that he had shewed him these things.
23 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵaaŵilasile achakulu ŵaŵili mwa ŵangondo ŵakwe ni kwalajisya, “Mwaŵiche chile ŵangondo mia mbili ni ŵangondo ŵakwela mu falasi sabini ni ŵangondo ŵa mipamba mia mbili ajaulangane ku Kaisalia saa tatu ja chilo cha lelo.
And he called vnto him two certaine Centurions, saying, Make readie two hundred souldiers, that they may go to Cæsarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and two hundred with dartes, at the thirde houre of the night.
24 Mwaŵiche chile falasi ŵampepe kuti ŵakwesye che Paolo aiche uchenene ku che Felikisi jwankulu jwa Chiloma mu chilambo cha ku Yudea.”
And let them make readie an horse, that Paul being set on, may be brought safe vnto Felix the Gouernour.
25 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵalembile chikalata chanti nyi.
And he wrote an epistle in this maner:
26 “Ngunnamuchila alakwe che Felikisi jwankulu jwa Chiloma mu chilambo cha ku Yudea, uneji che Kilaudio Lusia ngunlembela.
Claudius Lysias vnto the most noble Gouernour Felix sendeth greeting.
27 Ŵayahudi ŵankamwile Mundu ju ni ŵatiji ammulaje. Nambo panaimanyi kuti ali Mloma nipele najawile ni mpingo wa ŵangondo kukunkulupusya.
As this man was taken of the Iewes, and shoulde haue bene killed of them, I came vpon them with the garison, and rescued him, perceiuing that he was a Romane.
28 Nanjawisye ku Nkungulu wao wekulu njisakaga kuti manyilile magambo gaŵaŵechetelaga.
And when I would haue knowen the cause, wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their Council.
29 Naimanyi kuti ŵaaŵechetelaga nkati malajisyo gao, nambo uneji naiweni kuti nganakola magambo gagaligose gakuŵajilwa kuulajikwa atamuno kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
There I perceiued that hee was accused of questions of their Lawe, but had no crime worthy of death, or of bondes.
30 Ŵandu paŵamanyisye une kuti Ŵayahudi akusosa itajile pakumbulaga mundu ju, pangakaŵa nalamwile kwaikanawo kukwenu, ni naasalile ŵaŵaŵechetelaga wo kuti aŵechete magambo gao kukwenu.”
And when it was shewed me, how that the Iewes layd waite for the man, I sent him straightway to thee, and commanded his accusers to speake before thee the thinges that they had against him. Farewell.
31 Nipele ŵangondo ŵanjigele che Paolo mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni chilo chichocho ŵanjawisye ku Antipatili.
Then the souldiers as it was commanded them, tooke Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Malaŵi jakwe ŵangondo mia mbili ŵaŵajendaga wamakongolo ŵaujile ku likome, ŵaalesile ŵangondo ŵaŵakwesile falasi ŵala ajendelechele ni ulendo wa kwapechesya che Paolo.
And the next day, they left the horsemen to goe with him, and returned vnto the Castel.
33 Ŵangondo ŵaŵakwesile falasi paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵampele che Felikisi jwankulu jwa chilambo jo chikalata chila ni kwaŵika che Paolo mu ulamusi wao.
Now when they came to Cæsarea, they deliuered the epistle to the Gouernour, and presented Paul also vnto him.
34 Jwankulu jwa chilambo paŵachisyomile chikalata chila ŵausisye kuti che Paolo wa musi chi. Paŵapilikene kuti jwa ku Kilikia,
So when the Gouernour had read it, hee asked of what prouince he was: and when he vnderstoode that he was of Cilicia,
35 ŵatite, “Chinagapilikanile magambo genu pataiche ŵandu ŵakumbechetela.” Nipele ŵalamwile kuti ŵaagose che Paolo mu nyuumba ja chimwenye ji che Helode.
I will heare thee, said he, when thine accusers also are come, and commanded him to bee kept in Herods iudgement hall.
