Acts 23
1 And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.
Paulo akabhalanga moja kwa moja bhanu bha baraza ni kujobha, “Bhalongobhangu, niishi mbele sya K'yaara kwa dhamira sinofu hadi naha lelu.”
2 But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.
Kuhani mbaha Anania akabhaamuru bhala bhabhajhemili karibu nakhu bhan'tobhayi kinywa kya muene.
3 Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And thou, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?
Ndipo Paulo akan'jobhela, “K'yara ibetakutobha bhebhe, ukuta bhwa bhubakibhu chokaa. Utamili ukanihukumu kwa sheria, nabhi wiamuru nitobhibhwayi kinyume kya sheria?”
4 And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?
Bhala bhabhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajobha, “Ivi naha ndo kya ukandigha kuhani mbaha ghwa K'yara?”
5 And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.
Paulo akajobha, “bhalongobhangu, nene namanyilepi kujha ojho ndo kuhani mbaha. Kwa kujha jhilembibhu wibetalepi kulongela vibaya panani pa mtawala wa bhanu bha jhobhi.”
6 But Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: I am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.
Paulo bho abhuene jha kujha upande umonga bhwa baraza ni Masadukayo ni bhangi Mafarisayo, akakuesya sauti ni kujobha, “bhalongobhangu nene na Mfarisayo, mwana ghwa Mfarisayo. Kwa ndabha ejhu nitegemela kwa ujasiri ufufuo bhwa bhafu bhanihukumibhwa nabhu.”
7 And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.
Bho aghajobhi agha, malumbano mabhaha ghatokili baina jha Mafarisayo ni Masadukayo, ni mkutano bhwagawanyiki.
8 For Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.
Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.
9 And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel...
Ghasia mbaha jhikatokela ni baadhi jha bhaandishi bhabhajhele lubhafu lwa Mafarisayo bhakajhema ni kujadili, bhakajobha, “tubhwelepi kyokyoh dhidi jha munu ojho. Bhuli kama roho au malaika alongili nabhu?”
10 And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.
Wakati kuhomili hoja mbaha, mbaha ghwa majeshi atilili kujha Paulo ngaalalulibhu fipandi fipandi na bhene, hivyo akaamuru bhanajeshi bhaselelayi pasi ni kuntola kwa nghofu kuhoma kwa bhajumbe bha baraza, ni kundeta mu ngome.
11 But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.
Kiru kyakyafwatili Bwana ajhemili karibu ni muene ni kujobha, “Usitili, kwa ndabha unishuhudili katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kabhele wibetakupisya ushahidi ku Roma.”
12 And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul.
Bho kubhalele, baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhombi liagano ni kukuta laana panani pa bhene: bhajobhi kujha bhibetalepi kulya wala kunywa kyokyoha mpaka pabhibetakun'koma Paulo.
13 And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;
Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.
14 and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.
Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.
15 Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.
Hivyo henu, baraza lin'jobhelayi jemedari mbaha andetayi kwa muenga, kana kwamba mwiamura kesi jha muene kwa usahihi. Kwa tete tujhe tayari kun'koma kabla jha kuhida apa.”
16 But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.
Lakini muana wa dada jhake ni Paulo apeliki kujha kujhe ni njama, akalota akajhingila mugati mu ngome ni kun'jobhela Paulo.
17 And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.
Paulo akan'kuta akida mmonga ni kujobha, “N'tolayi n'songolo ojho kwa jemedari; ndabha ajhe ni lilobhi lya kun'jobhela.”
18 He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.
Basi akida akan'tola n'songolo jhola akandongosya kwa jemedari mbaha akan'jobhela, “Paulo jhola mfungwa anikutili alondeghe nikuletelayi n'songolo ojho kwa bhebhe. Ajhe ni lilobhi lya kujobhela.”
19 And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me?
Jemedali mbaha jhola akan'kamula kwa kun'kota, “Khenu gani wilonda kun'jobhela?”
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.
Kijana jhola akajobha “Bhayahudi bhajobhene kukusoka undetayi Paulo kilabhu ku baraza ili kana kwamba bhilonda kukabha habari sya muene kwa usahihi nesu.
21 Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.
Basi bhebhe usijhedekeli kwandabha bhanu zaidi jha arobaini bhakamvizila. Bhakikhongili kw laana, bhasili wala kunywa hadi pabhibetakun'koma. Hata henu bhajhe tayari, bhil'endela kibali kuhoma kwa bhebhe.”
22 The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me.
Basi jhola jemedari mbaha akandeka n'songolo akilotelayi, baada jha kundaghisya, “usin'jobheli munu jhejhioha kujobha unijobhili agha.”
23 And having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night.
Akabhakuta maakida bhabhele akajobha bhatayarisiajhi askari mia mbili kulota Kaisaria ni askari bhakwela farasi sabini, ni bhabhajhe ni migoha mia mbili, mwibetakubhoka zamu jha tatu pakilu.
24 And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,
Akabhajobhela kubheka bhanyama tayari ambaye Paulo ibetakun'tumila ni kun'tola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 having written a letter, couched in this form:
Akajhendika barua kwa namna ejhe,
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.
Munu ojho akamuili kwa bhayahudi bhakajha karibu kun'koma, ndipo nikalota pamonga ni kikosi kya askari nikamwokola, bhonikabhili habari kujha muene raia ghwa kirumi.
28 And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
Nilondeghe kumanya kwandayakiki bhan'takili, efyo nampelili mu baraza.
29 whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.
Nikabhona kwamba atakilibhu kwandabha jha maswali gha sheria jha bhene wala atakilibhu lepi lilobhi lyolyoha lya kustahili kukomibhwa wala kukongeka.
30 But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]
Kisha jhamanyikene kwa nene kujha ijhe njama dhidi jha muene, ivyo kwa haraka nikandaghisya kwa bhebhe, ni kubhalaghisya bhabhakan'shtaki kabhele bhaletayi mashataka dhidi jha muene mbele jha bhebhe. Bhakalaghana.”
31 The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris,
Basi askari bhala bhakatii amri: bhakan'tola Paulo bhakandeta hadi Antipatri pakilu.
32 and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.
Ligono lyalyakesili, maaskari bhingi bhakabhateka bhala bhakwela farasi bhalotayi pamonga ni muene na bhene bhakakerebhuka ku ngome.
33 And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.
Ni bhakwela farasi bhobhafikili Kaisaria, ni kumpela liwali barua jhela, bhakambeka Paulo palongolo pa muene.
34 And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that [he was] of Cilicia,
Ni muene liwali bho ajhisomili barua, an'kotili Paulo ahomili lijimbo leleku; bhoamanyili jha kujha ni munu ghwa Kilikia,
35 he said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
akajobha, “Nibetakup'eleka bhebhe pabhibetakuhida bhala bhabhakutakili, “akamuru abhekibhwayi pa ikulu jha Herode.
