1 Che Paolo ŵalolechesye kwannope ŵankungulu ŵala ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta achitiji, “Achalongo achinjangu, naatumichile Akunnungu kwa ntima wambone mpaka lelo jino.”
Paul behelde the counsell and sayde: men and brethre I have lived in all good coscience before God vntill this daye.
2 Pelepo che Anania Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵalamwile kuti aŵala ŵaŵaliji kuŵandikana ni che Paolo ŵapute lijanda pakang'wa jao.
The hye prest Ananias comaunded the that stode by to smyte 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 sayde Paul to him: God smyte the thou payntyd wall. Sittest thou and iudgest me after the lawe: and commaundest me to be smytten contrary to the lawe?
4 Ŵandu ŵaŵajimi pepala ŵala ŵansalile che Paolo “Mmwejo, nkuntukana Jwambopesi Jwankulu jwa Akunnungu?”
And they that stode by sayde: revylest thou Goddes hye preste?
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 wist not brethren that he was the hye preste. For it is writte thou shalt not curse the rular 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.”
When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged.
7 Palapala paŵaŵechete yeleyo, gakopochele makani gamakulungwa pasikati ja Mafalisayo ni Masadukayo ni nkungulu ula wasapulene.
And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided.
8 Pakuŵa Masadukayo akuti nganikupagwa kusyuka atamuno achikatumetume ŵa kwinani, ni mbumu nombe nasyo nganisipagwa. Nambo Mafalisayo akwitichisya yanayose itatu.
For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.
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.”
And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst 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 ther arose greate debate the captayne fearynge lest Paul shuld have bene pluckt asondre of them comaunded the soudiers to goo doune and to take him from amonge them and to bringe him into the castle.
11 Chilo cho, Ambuje ŵajimi chiŵandi ni che Paolo ni kuti, “Nkamulisye ntima! Mumalasile umboni pa Yelusalemu pano, chintende iyoyo peyo ni ku Loma.”
The nyght folowyng God stode by him and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare witnes at Rome.
12 Pikwachele, Ŵayahudi ŵatesile ntemela. Ni ŵalitaŵilile kuti, “Ngatulya pane kung'wa chachili chose mpaka pachitwaulaje che Paolo.”
When daye was come certayne of the Iewes gaddered them selves to geder and made a vowe sayinge that they wolde nether eate nor drinke till they had killed Paul.
13 Ŵandu ŵaŵatesile yeleyo wo ŵaliji ŵandu mpela alobaini.
They were aboute. xl. which had made this conspiracio.
14 Nipele, ŵandu wo ŵajawile kwa achakulu ŵambopesi ni achachekulu ni kuti, “Tulitaŵilile twachinsyene kuti ngatupasya chachili chose mpaka pachitwaulaje che Paolo.
And they cam to ye chefe prestes and elders and sayde: we have boude oure selves with a vowe that we will eate nothinge vntill we have slayne 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.”
Now therfore geve ye knowlege to the vpper captayne and to the counsell that he bringe him forth vnto vs to morow as though we wolde knowe some thinge more perfectly of him. But we (or ever he come neare) are redy in ye meane season 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.
When Pauls sisters sonne hearde of their layinge awayte he wet and entred into the castle 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 ye vnder captaynes vnto him and sayde: bringe this younge man vnto ye hye captayne: for he hath a certayne thinge 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.”
And he toke him and sayd: Paul ye presoner called me vnto him and prayed me to brige this youge ma vnto ye which hath a certayne matter to shewe ye.
19 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵankamwile nchanda jula nkono, ŵanjigele pachisyepela ni kummusya, “Ana nkusaka kuusalila chichi?”
The hye captayne toke him by the hond and wet a parte with him out of the waye: and axed him: what hast thou to saye vnto me?
20 Nchanda jula ŵatite, “Ŵayahudi alangene kummenda alakwe malaŵi munjausye che Paolo pa Nkungulu, achinamanilaga kuti akusaka amanyilile uchenene ngani syakwe.
And he sayd: the Iewes are determined to desyre the yt thou woldest brynge forth Paul to morowe into the counsell as though they wolde enquyre somwhat of him more parfectly.
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 folowe not their mindes: for ther lyein wayte for him of the moo then. xl. men which have boude the selves wt a vowe that they will nether eate ner drinke till they have killed him. And now are they redy and loke for thy promes.
22 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanlesile nchanda jula ajaule ni kunjamuka kuti, “Nkasala kwa mundu jwalijose kuti mumanyisye yeleyo.”
The vpper captayne let ye yoge man departe and charged: se thou tell it out to no man that thou hast shewed these thinges to me.
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 vnder captaynes sayinge: make redy two hondred soudiers to goo to Cesarea and horsmen threscore and ten and speare men two houndred at the thyrde houre of the nyght.
24 Mwaŵiche chile falasi ŵampepe kuti ŵakwesye che Paolo aiche uchenene ku che Felikisi jwankulu jwa Chiloma mu chilambo cha ku Yudea.”
And delyvre them beastes that they maye put Paul on and bringe him safe vnto Felix the hye debite
25 Jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵalembile chikalata chanti nyi.
and wrote a letter in this maner.
26 “Ngunnamuchila alakwe che Felikisi jwankulu jwa Chiloma mu chilambo cha ku Yudea, uneji che Kilaudio Lusia ngunlembela.
Claudius Lisias vnto ye most mighty rular Felix sendeth gretinges.
27 Ŵayahudi ŵankamwile Mundu ju ni ŵatiji ammulaje. Nambo panaimanyi kuti ali Mloma nipele najawile ni mpingo wa ŵangondo kukunkulupusya.
This man was take of the Iewes and shuld have bene killed of them. Then cam I with soudiers and rescued him and perceaved that he was a Romayne.
28 Nanjawisye ku Nkungulu wao wekulu njisakaga kuti manyilile magambo gaŵaŵechetelaga.
And when I wolde have knowen the cause wherfore they accused him I brought him forth into their cousell.
29 Naimanyi kuti ŵaaŵechetelaga nkati malajisyo gao, nambo uneji naiweni kuti nganakola magambo gagaligose gakuŵajilwa kuulajikwa atamuno kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth 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.”
Afterwarde when it was shewed me how that ye Iewes layde wayte for ye man I sent him strayght waye to the and gave commaundmet to his accusars yf they had ought agaynst him to tell it vnto ye: fare well.
31 Nipele ŵangondo ŵanjigele che Paolo mpela iŵatite pakusalilwa ni chilo chichocho ŵanjawisye ku Antipatili.
Then ye soudiers as it was comaunded the toke Paul and brought him by nyght to Antipatras.
32 Malaŵi jakwe ŵangondo mia mbili ŵaŵajendaga wamakongolo ŵaujile ku likome, ŵaalesile ŵangondo ŵaŵakwesile falasi ŵala ajendelechele ni ulendo wa kwapechesya che Paolo.
On the morowe they lefte horsmen to goo with him and returned vnto the castle.
33 Ŵangondo ŵaŵakwesile falasi paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵampele che Felikisi jwankulu jwa chilambo jo chikalata chila ni kwaŵika che Paolo mu ulamusi wao.
Which when they cam to Cesarea they delivered the epistle to the debite and presented Paul before him.
34 Jwankulu jwa chilambo paŵachisyomile chikalata chila ŵausisye kuti che Paolo wa musi chi. Paŵapilikene kuti jwa ku Kilikia,
When the debite had redde the letter he axed of what countre he was and when he vnderstode that he was of Cicill
35 ŵatite, “Chinagapilikanile magambo genu pataiche ŵandu ŵakumbechetela.” Nipele ŵalamwile kuti ŵaagose che Paolo mu nyuumba ja chimwenye ji che Helode.
I will heare the (sayde he) whe thyne accusars are come also: and commaunded him to be kepte in Herodes pallys.
