Acts 23
1 And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
Paulo nabhalolela nekeneke abhanu bhe China no kwaika, “Bhana bhasu, nilamile imbele ya Nyamuanga kwo mutima gwe kisi kukinga woli kutya.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Omugabhisi omukulu Anania nalagilila bhanu bhaliga ayei nage bhamubhume omunwa gwae.
3 Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
Niwo Paulo namubhwila, “Nyamuanga Kajo kukubhuma awe, indugu inu iteyweko ilangi. Winyanjile niundamula kwe bhilagilo, awe oulagilila nibhumwe ku bhutasikene ne bhilagilo?”'
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
Bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayei nage nibhaika, “Kutya nikwo oumufuma omugabhisi mukulu owa Nyamuanga?”
5 And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
Paulo naika, Bhana bhasu, anye nali nitakumenya ati unu Ni mugabhisi mukulu. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, wasiga kumwaika ku bhibhi omutungi wa bhanu bhao.”
6 And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Paulo ejile alola ati libhala elimwi lili ku China cha abhasadukayo na abhandi Ni bhafarisayo, nasekanila ingulu kwo bhulaka no kwaika, “Bhana bhasu, anye nili mufarisayo, omwana wo mufarisayo. Kulwa insonga inu eniikanya kwo bhubhasi obhusuluko bhwa bhafue bhunu enilamulwa nabhwo”
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Ejile akagaika ganu nibhao nyombo Nene inu yabhonekene ku bhafarisayo na ku bhasadukayo, no omukutano nigugabhanyika.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Kwo kubha abhasadukayo abhaika ati bhutalio bhusuko, nolwo malaika nolwo kutalio Mwoyo, Mbe nawe abhafarisayo abhaika ganu gona galio.
9 And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
Injogele nyafu nibhonekana na abhandi abhandiki bhanu bhaliga KU lubhala lwa abhafarisayo nibhemelegulu no kubhushanya, nibhaika ati, “chitamubhonako chona chona chibhibhi ku munu unu. Mbe kutiki Alabha Mwoyo amwi malaika aikile no mwene?
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
mu Mwanya ogwo ngabhonekana masango manene, omukulu wa abhasilikale nobhaya ati Paulo abhajomutabhulana mabhala bhala na bhene, kwibhyo nalagilila abhasilikale bheke emwalo no kumugega kwa managa okusoka ku bhatangasha bhe China, no kumuleta mu lugo.
11 And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Ingeta inu yalubhile Latabhugenyi emeleguyu ayei nage no kwaika, “Wasiga kubhaya, kulwo kubha ubhambalie mu Yerusalemu, kwibhyo ouja okusosha obhubhambasi one mu Roma.”
12 And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
Bhejle bhwacha, abhayaudi abhandi nibhakola amalagano no kubhilikila obhufumilisha ingulu yebhwe abhene: Nibhaika ati bhatakutula kulya. nolwo kunywa chona chona kukinga bhamwite Paulo.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
Bhaliga bhalio abhanu bhambukile makumi gana bhanu bhaliga bhali no bhwilige bhunu.
14 Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
Nibhagenda ku bhagabhisi Abhakulu na abhakaluka no kwaika, “chifumilisishe eswe abhene bhunene, chasiga kulya Chona Chona kukingila chimwite Paulo.
15 Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
kwibhyo oli, echina chimubhile omukulu wa abhasilikale amulete kwemwe, kuti omwenda omulamula indamu yae kisi kisi. Epswe echibha chimalilie okumwita achali kujanu.”
16 Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
Nawe omwiwa wa Paulo nongwa ati bhulio obhwilige lige, naja okwingila mulugo no kumubhwila ejo Paulo.
17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
Paulo namubhilikilao umwi ku Bhakulu bha bhasilikale egana no kwaika, “Numusile omusigaji unu ku mukulu wa bhasilikale; Kulwo kubha ali no musango ogwo kumubhwila.”
18 And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
Mbe omukulu namugega omusigaji ulya namusila ku mukulu wa bhasilikale namubhwila, “Paulo ulya omubhoywa ambilikie nenda nikuletele omusigaji unu kwawe. Ano musango gwo kukubhwila.”
19 And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
Omukulu wa bhasilikale namugwata okubhoko namwichundyao kumbali, namubhusha, “Nichinuki chinu owenda okumbwila?”
20 And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
Omusigaji ulya naika, “Abhayaudi bhekilishanyishe okukusabhwa umulete Paulo mutondo mu China okubha ati abhenda okumenya emisango jae kwe chimali muno.
21 But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
Mbe awe utekilisha kwo kubha abhanu bhafu kuti makumi gana bhamwiteganie. Bhebhoyele ku chifumi, bhatalya nolwo kunywa bhakingile okumwita. Nolwo oli bhamalilie, bhalindilie okwikilisibhwa okusoka kwawe.”
22 The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
Mbe omutangasha mukulu ulya namusinga omusingaji agende jae, ejile amala okumulagilila “Utamubhila munu wona wona ati wamenyesha ganu.”
23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
Nababilikila Bhakulu bhabhili naika mwilabhe bhasilikale magana gabhili okuja Kaisaria na bhasilikale abhalinyi bha jifalasi makumi musanju, na bhamachumu magana gabhili, omwimuka omwanya gwa saa esatu ja mungeta.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Nabhabhwila okuta jintyanyi ayei inu ilamugega Paulo no kumusila ku Feliki Omulamusi.
25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Nandika inyalubha inu ati,
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
Klaudia Lisia KU Mtwale owe chibhalo, nakukesha.
27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
Omunu unu agwatilwe na abhayaudi bhali ayei no kumwita, niwo nagenda amwi ne chise cha abhasilikale nimukisha, nejile nabhona emisango ati mwenene ni mwenengo we Chilumi.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
Naliga ninenda okumenya kulwaki bhamusitake, kwibhyo nimusila mu China.
29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
Nindola ati aliga asitakibhwe ingulu ya masubhyo ge bhilagilo bhyebhwe, nolwo atasitakibhwe ingulu yo musango gwona gwona gunu gwaliga gwiile okumwita nolwo kubhoywa.
30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
Okumala nigumenyekana kwanye ati bhulio obhwilige lige ku mwene, no kubhalagilila bhanu one abho musitakile bhaletwe obhusitaki imbhele yao. Nibhalagana.”
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
Mbe abhasilikale bhalya nibhacholobhela echilagilo: Nibhamuleta Paulo nibhamusakila ku Antipatri mungeta.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
Olunaku lunu lwalubhie, abhasilikale bhafu bhabhasiga abhalinyi bha jifarasi bhagende amwi nage, bhenene nibhasubha mulugo.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
Na abhalinyi bha jifarasi Bhejile bhakinga Kaisaria, no kumuyana Omutwale inyalubha ilya, nibhamutula Paulo imbhele yae.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
Mwenene Omutwale ejile aisoma inyalubha, namubhusha Paulo asokele ejimbo ki; ejile amenya ati ni munu wa Kilikia,
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
naika,”enijo kukungwa awe bhakaja bhalya bhanu bhakusitakile,” nalagilila atulwe mu ikulu ya Herode.
