Masengo 26
1 Nipele che Agilipa ŵansalile che Paolo, “Nkukombola kulichenjela.” Pelepo che Paolo ŵagolwesye nkono wao ni kulichenjela, achitiji.
Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.
2 “Mwenye che Agilipa, nguliwona ngwete upile lelo jino kwima paujo penu ni kulichenjela yankati yanayose yakumechetela une Ŵayahudi.
I thynke my selfe happy kynge Agrippa because I shall answere this daye before the of all the thinges wherof I am accused of ye Iewes
3 Nnopennope pakuŵa alakwe mwasyene nkumanyilila uchenene masyoŵelo ga Ŵayahudi ni umenyani wao, ngunchondelela mumbilikanile mu upililiu.
namely because thou arte experte in all customes and questions which are amonge the Iewes. Wherfore I beseche the to heare me paciently.
4 “Ŵayahudi wose akuumanyilila une uchenene chitandile uchanda wangu. Akumanyilila inatite pakutama ni ŵanyawo mu chilambo changu ni ku Yelusalemu nombeko chitandile ndanda jo.
My lyvynge of a chylde which was at the fyrst amoge myne awne nacion at Ierusalem knowe all the Iewes
5 Akuumanyilila une chitandile kalakala ni asakaga akukombola kuŵalanga umboni kuti chitandile ndanda jo naliji jumo jwa mpingo wa Mafalisayo ŵakwapopelela Akunnungu kupunda ŵandu ŵane wose.
which knew me from ye beginnynge yf they wolde testifie it. For after the most straytest secte of oure laye lyved I a pharisaye.
6 Ni sambano nyimi pelepa kulamulikwa ligongo nguchilolela chilanga chiŵalanjile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu chila.
And now I stond and am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure fathers:
7 Chilanga cho ni chichocho chaakuchilolela ngosyo kumi na mbili sya ŵandu ŵetu kuti chimalile, achatumichilaga Akunnungu nkulimbangana muusi ni chilo. Ni kwaligongo lyo alakwe mwenye, Ŵayahudi ŵa akuumechetela une.
vnto which promes oure. xii. tribes instantly servynge God daye and nyght hope to come. For which hopes sake kynge Agrippa am I accused of the Iewes.
8 Ŵanyamwe wose ŵandi apano kwa chichi nkuganisya kuti Akunnungu ngakukombola kwasyusya ŵawe?
Why shuld it be thought a thinge vncredible vnto you that god shuld rayse agayne the deed?
9 Isyene uneji nansyene naliweni kuti ngusachilwa kutendekanya yejinji yakunkanila Che Yesu jwa ku Nasaleti.
I also verely thought in my selfe that I ought to do many cotrary thinges clene agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:
10 Yelei ni inaitesile ku Yelusalemu kula. Napochele lilamulo kutyochela kwa achakulu ŵambopesi, naakamwile ŵandu ŵajinji mwa ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni kwataŵa mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa. Ni ŵanyawo paŵalamulikwe kuulajikwa, uneji nakundile aulajikwe.
which thinge I also dyd in Ierusalem. Where many of the sainctes I shut vp in preson and had receaved auctorite of ye hye prestes. And whe they were put to deeth I gave the sentence.
11 Naalagesye mmajumba gao ga kupopelela ni kwakanganichisya atukane. Naatumbilile kwannope namose najawile kukwasosasosa mmisi ja ilambo yakutalichila kuti naalagasye.
And I punysshed them ofte in every synagoge and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad apon them and persecuted the even vnto straunge cities.
12 “Ligongo lya masengo gagogo pego najawile ku Damesiki ndili ni ulamusi ni malajisyo ga achakulu ŵambopesi.
About the which thinges as I went to Damasco with auctorite and licence of the hye Prestes
13 Alakwe mwenye, panaliji mwitala muusi, lyuŵa lili pa ntwe naliweni lilanguka lyekulungwa kupunda lilanguka lya lyuŵa lichilanguchisyaga kutyochela kwinani. Ni lyatusyungwile uneji pamo ni achinjangu ŵanaliji nawo mu ulendo mo.
even at myddaye (o kynge) I sawe in ye waye a lyght from heven above the brightnes of the sunne shyne rounde about me and them which iorneyed with me.
14 Wose twagwile, none napilikene liloŵe lichisalilaga mchiebulania, ‘Che Sauli, che Sauli! Ligongo chi nkuulagasya? Nkuliulasya mwasyene pangali ligongo mpela ng'ombe jajikuchiputa chiboko cha mmbujegwe.’
When we were all fallen to the erth I hearde a voyce speakynge vnto me and sayinge in ye Hebrue tonge: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? It is harde for the to kicke agaynste the pricke.
15 Noneji nausisye, ‘Ana ŵaani alakwe, Ambuje?’ Ni Ambuje wo ŵajanjile, ‘Uneji ndili Che Yesu junkunlagasya mmwejo.
And I sayde: Who arte thou lorde? And he sayde I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
16 Nambo Sambano njime, nankopochele kuti nambiche mme nkamusi jwangu. Mmwejo chimmalanje ya uneji, chimwasalile ŵandu yanyiweni lelo jino ni ichinannosye kanyuma.
But ryse and stond vp on thy fete. For I have apered vnto the for this purpose to make the a minister and a witnes both of tho thinges which thou hast sene and of tho thinges in the which I will appere vnto the
17 Chinankulupusye kutyoka mwa ŵandu wa ku Isilaeli pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuchinantume une ko.
delyverynge the from the people and from ye gentyls vnto which nowe I sende the
18 Mwatatanukule meeso gao kuti akombole kopoka mu chipi ni kwinjila mu lulanga nombe akopoche mu ulamusi wa Shetani ni kwagalauchila Akunnungu kuti kwa kungulupilila une alecheleswe sambi syao ni kwinjila majumba pamo ni ŵandu ŵasagulikwe ni Akunnungu.’
to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritauce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.
19 “Kwapele, alakwe mwenye che Agilipa, uneji nganileka kwitichisya yakwiwona yaikopochele kwinani.
Wherfore kynge Agrippa I was not disobedient vnto the hevenly vision:
20 Nipele natandite kulalichila maloŵe ga Akunnungu kwa ŵakutama ku Damesiki ni ku Yelusalemu ni chilambo chose cha ku Yudea pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. Naalalichile aleche sambi ni kwaujilila Akunnungu ni kulosya kwa isambo yao kuti alesile sambi.
but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco and at Ierusalem and thorow out all the costes of Iewry and to the gentyls that they shuld repent and turne to God and do the ryght workes of repentaunce.
21 Kwa ligongo lya maloŵe go Ŵayahudi ŵangamwile une ndili pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kusaka kumulaga.
For this cause the Iewes caught me in the temple and went about to kyll me.
22 Nambo Akunnungu aang'osile, mpaka lelo jino ndili jwansima. Noneji nguŵalanga kwa achanandi ni achakulungwa. Ngangusala ine ikaŵe yeila yasasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni che Musa kuti chiikopochele,
Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come
23 yakuti yaŵajilwe Kilisito alaje ni kuŵa mundu jwaandanda kusyuka mwa wose ŵawile. Nombejo chakombole kwaichisya lilanguka Ŵayahudi ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.”
that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.
24 Che Paolo paŵalichenjele mpaka pelepo, che Festo ŵaŵechete kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Mmwe che Paolo ntekupungwana! Kulijiganya kose kuntesile mpungwane.”
As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.
25 Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Nganimbungwana, alakwe ambuje che Festo. Chinguŵecheta cho chili chisyene ni cha lunda.
And Paul sayde: I am not mad most dere Festus: but speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
26 Alakwe mwenye che Agilipa nkuimanyilila uchenene yose yaikopochele yo. Noneji ngukombola kuŵecheta pangali lipamba paujo penu pakuŵa nguimanyilila isyene kuti ngapagwa chichatendekwe pachisyepela.
The kynge knoweth of these thinges before whom I speke frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thinges are hydden fro him. For this thinge was not done in a corner.
27 Mwenye che Agilipa, ana nkugakulupilila maloŵe gaŵaŵechete ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵa kalakala? Ngumanyilila kuti nkugakulupilila!”
Kynge Agrippa belevest thou ye prophetes? I wote well thou belevest.
28 Ni che Agilipa ŵansalile che Paolo, “Ana nkuganisya kuti kwa katema kakajipi peka chinkombole kundendekasya meje Mkilisito?”
Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.
29 Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Iŵaga kwa katema kakajipi pane kakajinji, ngwapopelela Akunnungu, ngaŵa alakwe pe nambo ni ŵanawose ŵakumbikanila lelo jino ŵa aŵanje mpela indite pakuŵa une, nambo anaichile kutaŵikwa minyolo mpela une.”
And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.
30 Pelepo mwenye che Agilipa ni jwankulu che Festo ni che Belinike pamo ni ŵane wose ŵaŵaliji pamo nawo ŵajimi.
And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.
31 Ni paŵakopokaga ŵasalilene, “Mundu ju nganapanganya chachili chose chakusachilwa kuulajikwa natamuno kwataŵa.”
And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.
32 Che Agilipa ŵansalile che Festo, “Ikakomboleche kungopola mundu ju ngaakaŵende kulamulikwa ni Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.
