Acts 22
1 Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you.
“Vanyalukolo kange nava Nhaata vaango, pulikisiagha uvwolesi vwango vuno kwande nivomba kulyumue un'siki ughu.”
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd)
Ifipugha ye fifikile u Paulo ajoova navoope ku ki Ebrania, vakajika. akaati,
3 I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
Une nili Muyahudi niholilue mulikaja lya Tarso mukighavo ikya Kilikia, kuva nilyapatile uluhara mulikaja iili, une nili m'bili ghwa Nguluve, ndavule umue mwe Vooni fino mulivuo umusyughu.
4 And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women.
Nikavapumwisie musila iji m'paka pano mufua; nikavakunga ava ghosi nava mama na kuvatagha mu ndinde.
5 As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, and al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished.
Kange untekesi um'bahaum'baha navaghogholo vooni vavaghile kuhumia uvwolelesi kuuti nilyupile ikalata kuhuma kuvanave vwimila vwa nyalukolo vano valyale ku Dameski, kulyune une kughenda kuluta ukuo. Ulwakuuti nivalete avaanhu ku Yerusalemu ava similar jiila ulwakuuti va kungue na kutovua.
6 And so it was, as I iourneyed and was come neere vnto Damascus about noone, that suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me.
Lulyahumile kuuti paala pano nilyale nighenda ye siseghelile ku Dameski, un'siki ughwa pamwiisi nakalingi ulumuli uluvaha lukamulika ku kyanya lukatengula ku mulika.
7 So I fell vnto the earth, and heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?
Nikaghua paasi nakupulika ilisio likum'bula,'Sauli, Sauli kiki ghukung'alasia?'
8 Then I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Nikamula, 'Uve veve veeni, Mutwa?' Akambuula, 'Une nene Yesu Mnazareti, juno uve ghukung'alasia.'
9 Moreouer they that were with me, sawe in deede a light and were afraide: but they heard not the voyce of him that spake vnto me.
Vala vano valyale nune valyaluvwenevalyaluvwene ulumuli, looli navalyapulike ilisio lya jula juno alyajovile nune.
10 Then I sayd, What shall I doe, Lord? And the Lord sayde vnto me, Arise, and goe into Damascus: and there it shall be tolde thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to doe.
Nikaati, 'Nivombe kiki, Mutwa?' u Mutwa akam'buula, “Imagha ghwingilaghe mu Dameski; ukuo ghuvuluagha kila kiinu kinokikunoghile pivomba.
11 So when I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.
Nilyakunilue kukola vwimila lwa lumuli Lula, pe nikaruta ku Dameski nilongosivue na mavoko ghavala vano vakale nune
12 And one Ananias a godly man, as perteining to the Lawe, hauing good report of all the Iewes which dwelt there,
Ukuo pe nikatang'ana nu muunhu juno itanbulua Anania, alyale muunhumuunhu juno alyagadilile indaghilo kange akoghopagha pavulongolo pava Yahudi voonivooni vano vakikalagha ukuo.
13 Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayd vnto me, Brother Saul, receiue thy sight: and that same houre I looked vpon him.
Akisa kulyuune, akiima pavulongolo palyuune na kuuti, 'Nyalukolo ghwaango Sauli, lolagha. 'Ku nsiki ghulaghala nikam'bwene.
14 And he sayd, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee, that thou shouldest knowe his wil, and shouldest see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth.
Akaati, Nguluve ghwa va Nhaata viitu akusalwiile uve ukagule pikagula uvughane vwa mwene, pikumwagha jula unya vwa kyang'ani, nakupulika ilisio lino lihumile mumulomo ghwa mweene.
15 For thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men, of the things which thou hast seene and heard.
Ulwakuva ghuuva mwoolesi kwa mweene ku vaanhu voonivooni ku sooni sino usivweene na kupulika.
16 Now therefore why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, in calling on the Name of the Lord.
Lino kiki ghughulila? Sisimuka, Ghwofughue, usuke uvuhosi vwaako ghukulikemela ilitavua lya mweene.'
17 And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, and prayed in the Temple, I was in a traunce,
Ye nigomwike ku Yerusalemu, pano nilyale nikufunya n'kante munyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, lulyahumile kuuti nipelilue iyivonelo.
18 And saw him saying vnto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy witnes concerning me.
Nikam'bona akambuula, 'Angupa uhume mu Yerusalemu ng'haning'hani, ulwakuva navangitike uvwolesi vwako vwimila une.'
19 Then I sayd, Lord, they know that I prisoned, and beat in euery Synagogue them that beleeued in thee.
Nikaati, 'Mutwa, avene vavuo vikwelevua nikavakungile mu ndinde na kuvatola vano valyakwiitike mu nyumba sooni isa kufunyila.
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Steuen was shed, I also stood by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the clothes of them that slew him.
Na ji danda ija Stefano umwoolesi ghwako pano jilyakungilue, une najune nilyimile pipi na pikunda kulolelela amenda ghavano valyam'budile.
21 Then he sayd vnto me, Depart: for I will send thee farre hence vnto the Gentiles.
Looli akanivula, 'Lutagha, ulwakuva une nikukwomola ulute kuvutaali ku vaanhu avapanji.”
22 And they heard him vnto this worde, but then they lift vp their voyces, and sayd, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not meete that he should liue.
Avaanhu vakatavula ajove ilisio iili. Looli vakapalisia ilisio nakujova, “Mum'busie umuunhu uju mu iisi: ulwakuva nalunono ikalaghe.”
23 And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the aire,
Ye vipalisia ilisio, vakatagha Amanda ghavanave kange vakatagha mu king'unde,
24 The chiefe captaine commanded him to be led into the castle, and bade that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might knowe wherefore they cryed so on him.
u jemedari um'baha akalaghila u Paulo iise ku lilanga. Akalaghila aposevue kuno ikopua ifiboko, kuuti umwene jujuo akagulr kuuti nakiki vikun'jeghelela anala.
25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul sayd vnto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawfull for you to scourge one that is a Romane, and not condemned?
Kange yevan'kungile nu lughoji, u Paulo akam'bula u akida Julia juno akimile piping nu mwene, “kyang'haani kukun'tova umuunhu juno Murumi nambe nahighilue?”
26 Nowe when the Centurion heard it, hee went, and tolde the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest: for this man is a Romane.
U akida jula ye apulike amasio agha, akaluta kwa jemedari um'baha na pikum'bula, akaati, “Ghulonda kuvomba kiki? Ulwakuva umuunhu uju Murumi.”
27 Then the chiefe captaine came, and sayd to him, Tel me, art thou a Romane? And he said, Yea.
Um'baha ghwa vasikari akisa na pikum'bula, “Nivuule, uve nuli m'banda ghwa Rumi?” U Paulo akaati, “Ena.”
28 And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obtained I this freedome. Then Paul sayd, But I was so borne.
U jemedari akamula, “Kuilila indalama im'baha pe nikupile uvu m'bada.” looli u Paulo akam'bula, “Une nili Murumi ghwa kuholua.”
29 Then straightway they departed from him, which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afrayd, after he knewe that hee was a Romane, and that he had bound him.
Kange nava liling'aniaghe kuluta kukum'posia pe vakabuuka na pikumuleka unsiki ghughughuo. U jemedari ghwope akoghopa, yeye akagwile kuuti u Paulo Murumi, ulwakuva an'kungile.
30 On the next day, because hee would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the hie Priests and all their Councill to come together: and he brought Paul, and set him before them.
Ikighono kino kikavingilile, u jemedari um'baha akalondagha kukagula uvwakyang'haani vwimila amakole aghaagha va Yahudi mwa Paulo. Pe akam'busia ifipinyilo fya mwene akalaghila ava vaha va matekelo na vahighi Vooni vatang'ane. Akatwala u Paulo paasi, na pikum'bika pakate na kati pavanave.
