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.
U Paulo akhavalola avanu avahieghi nukhuta, “Valukholo lwango, nitamile phamiho ga Nguluve khumasage amanonu ukhudugha eilelo.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Untekhenchi umbaha u Anania akhavavula vala vavo avaiemile pawipi phamwene vantove pandomo ugwamwene.
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?
Pwu uPavuli akhambula, “UNguluve akhuta ayikhukhutova uve, ulwimato uluvamati nu ng'angha umbalafu. Uve atamile vukhng'iegha ukhunkhongha nululaghilo, pwu vutavula ukhuta nietoviwagwe ululaghielo vusalwita?”
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
Vala avaiemile pawipi numwene vakhanchova, “vumuhkudhukha ewo undongonchi umbaha uva Nguluve?”.
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.
upavuli akhanchova, “valukhololwango, une saniekhalumanye ukhuta uyu vintwa umbaha, ulwakhuva liesimbiwe, salanchova fivi khuvalongonchi vavanu vako.”
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.
Upavuli avielealumanyile uluvafu lumo lolile akhavona vamasadukhayo na avange vama falisayo, akhatoncha iliemunyu nukhunchova, “valukhololwango, line nili falisayo, nili nswambe va mafalisayo, pa inchi nihuvila khumakha uluvonekelo ulwa avafwile uvunihiegiwa nawo”.
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Avile anchove aaga, eisongelehinie imbaha yikhahumila khuva mafalisayo nava masadukayo, na avalundamine vakhagavika.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Kuva masadudukayo vita lusikhuli uluvonekhelo, avasukhwa vasikuli munumbula, apange ava mafalisayo incho ukhuta punchile.
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?
Ukhupuliehana khukhava khusikhuli muvasimib uvuvale khuluvafu ulwava mafalisayo vakhima nukhu nchova, valikhuta, “satukhiwene khinu iekhivivi muugaati munu uyu, ndakhikhi ingave umepo apange unsuhwa anchovile numwene? “.
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.
Unsiekhi upwulukhahumile ulupango uluvaha, umbaha va ligoha adwadile ukhuva upavuli vakhale vikhubuda nukhukhegetania na vene, pwa akhamu khuvasikhali vikhe pasi vakhampiembe khumakha ukhuhuma kuvahiegi valibalasya, nukhunglilikha kuboma.
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.
Ikhilo iyakhongile linkuludeva akhiem pawipi numwene akhanchora,” uladwadaga, ulwakhuva unchovile mu yelusalamu, pwu nayufue tunchivonesya uvulweli mu roma inongwa incha khubudiwa khwa pavuli.”
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.
vuvukhile, avayahudi avanghe vakhijiagha nukhwikho tila vavoi vakhata svakhalye nu ukhunywa khinu upwuvakhieva vibudu khw pavuli.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
Khwale na vanu avalutilile khuatobini vavo valondagha injila inchakhubuuda.
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.
Vakhaluta khuvavaha va vantwa na vaghogholo nukhunchova, “twiviekhi ijufwe mundukhoto uluvaha, tulekhe ukhulya khinu impakha upwakhiva tubudile kwa pavuli.
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.
Lieno, avahieghi vambule lindoghonchi umbaha avalighoha andete upavuli khuvene, ndumunu uviilamula ukhumala ienongwa ijamwene vunonu ufwe tupulikhela twietesaniche ukhumbuda vusafike upwutuliepho pwapha.”
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.
Ulwakhuva umwana vang'anchave va pavuli akhapulika ukhuta vilonda ukhubuda, akhaluta akhingila mughaati muboma akhambula upavuli.
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.
Upavuli akhamwilangha umbaha yumo akhanchova, “mntole udiemi uyu khwa kumbahu valigoha, ulwakhuva alienilimenyu ilyakhumbula.”
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.
Pwu umbaha akhantola udiemu akhang'ielika khumbaha valigooha akhambula, “upavuli uvyakhungiwe anyielanghele niekhugeghe vindiemi uve khulyuve. alinilimenyu ilyakhukhuvula.”
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?
Ula undongonchi umbaha akhamwibata eikhivoko akhima nave palukanji, nukhumbuncha, “khinu khikhi ikhiwinogwa ukhumbula?”
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.
Udiemu ulakanchova, “avayahudi vanchovie ukhukhudova uvahilikhile khilavo upavuli khuvuhighi ndukhuva vinogwa ukhunchimanya inongwa nchamwene mumbulweli.
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.
Uve ulekhe ukwidika ulwakhuva khuvale avanu valutilile khuarobaini vieyuvilile. vikhungile ulukhoto, ukhuleka ukhulya na khukhunywa amaghaasi iempaka vabude. ata uluu valiemiho vipuliekhila, uve uvatavulile.
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.
Pwu umbaha valighoha akhandeka undiemi ula aghodokhage akhambuli “ulekhe ukhumbu umunu uviavenchagha ukhuta umbulile inchi”.
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:
Akhavitanga avatongonchi vavile akhavula mukhavatesanie avasikali avamia avile ukhuluta khukaisaria na vasikhali avakhimanyile ukhutoghaifarasi sabini, avanyangoha avamia vavile, mwuehege pakhilo unsienki ugwaa isaa idatu.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Akhavavula vatesanie ifikha nu fifyo upavuli ayivombela nukhuvitola vunonu khw feliki untwa.
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:
Akhasima ikalata ndee.
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
Klaudio lisia kuntwa limbalanche feliki, lighonile.
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:
Umunu uywa aibatiwana vayahudi alondiwe ukhubudiwa, punikhaluta nikhipuga ikya vasikhali nikhampokha, navile nipulikhe ukhuta munu va khutoma.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
Nanoghile ukulu manya ukhuta khikhi vikhungilega, pwu nikhang'ieka khuvuhighi.
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.
Nikavono akhahigiwagwa kundaghilo nchavene, sakhasitakhiwe khulimenyu ilyavienchaga ilyakhuta abudiwagwe nukhukungiwa.
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.
Pwu nchikhavonike pavuvalafu palyune ukhuta une nene nilonda injila inchakhumbuda umwene, pwanikhansuhile khulyuve iembive, pwunikhavasukhile avikhung'iega valete inchuvikhunghegha umwene pavulongoto pako. valikhubielukha.”
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
Pwu vala avasikhali vakhidikha ululagilo, vakhantola upavuli vakhangielikha khu antipathi pakhilo.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
Ikhigono ikhikhakhongile, avasikari vingi vakhavatekha vala avikhetoga ifalasi valutage pwupaninie mumwene, ewene vakhagoodoka khuvene ukhuvitama.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
Avikietoka ifalasi vavile vafike khu kaisali, nukumpa untwa ikalata, vakhangielika upavuli pavulongo pamwene.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
Untwa vuiembi ikalata, akhambuncha upavuli ahumile ikhilunga khilikhu; Avile alumanyile ukkhuta munu va khu kilika,
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
akhanchova, “nikhukhu pulihinchaga uve akhieva vikijincha avakhakhusitakhile”, akhavatavula vambikhe mu nyumba iyantwa herode.
