< Acts 23 >

1 And Paul behelde earnestly the Councill, and sayde, Men and brethren, I haue in all good conscience serued God vntill this day.
U Paulo akhavalola avanu avahieghi nukhuta, “Valukholo lwango, nitamile phamiho ga Nguluve khumasage amanonu ukhudugha eilelo.”
2 Then the hie Priest Ananias commanded them that stood by, to smite him on the mouth.
Untekhenchi umbaha u Anania akhavavula vala vavo avaiemile pawipi phamwene vantove pandomo ugwamwene.
3 Then sayd Paul to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall: for thou sittest to iudge me according to the Lawe, and transgressing the Lawe, commaundest thou me to be smitten?
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, sayd, Reuilest thou Gods hie Priest?
Vala avaiemile pawipi numwene vakhanchova, “vumuhkudhukha ewo undongonchi umbaha uva Nguluve?”.
5 Then sayd Paul, I knewe not, brethren, that he was the hie Priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speake euill of the ruler of thy people.
upavuli akhanchova, “valukhololwango, une saniekhalumanye ukhuta uyu vintwa umbaha, ulwakhuva liesimbiwe, salanchova fivi khuvalongonchi vavanu vako.”
6 But when Paul perceiued that the one part were of the Sadduces, and the other of the Pharises, hee cried in the Council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharise, the sonne of a Pharise: I am accused of the hope and resurrection of the dead.
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 hee had saide this, there was a dissension betweene the Pharises and the Sadduces, so that the multitude was deuided.
Avile anchove aaga, eisongelehinie imbaha yikhahumila khuva mafalisayo nava masadukayo, na avalundamine vakhagavika.
8 For the Sadduces say that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirit: but the Pharises confesse both.
Kuva masadudukayo vita lusikhuli uluvonekhelo, avasukhwa vasikuli munumbula, apange ava mafalisayo incho ukhuta punchile.
9 Then there was a great crye: and the Scribes of the Pharises part rose vp, and stroue, saying, Wee finde none euill in this man: but if a spirit or an Angel hath spoken to him, let vs not fight against God.
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 was a great dissension, the chiefe captaine, fearing lest Paul should haue bene pulled in pieces of them, commanded the souldiers to go downe, and take him from among them, and to bring him into the castel.
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 Nowe the night folowing, the Lord stoode by him, and saide, Be of good courage, Paul: for as thou hast testified of mee in Hierusalem, so must thou beare witnesse 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 the day was come, certaine of the Iewes made an assemblie, and bounde themselues with a curse, saying, that they woulde neither eate nor drinke, till they had killed Paul.
vuvukhile, avayahudi avanghe vakhijiagha nukhwikho tila vavoi vakhata svakhalye nu ukhunywa khinu upwuvakhieva vibudu khw pavuli.
13 And they were more then fourtie, which had made this conspiracie.
Khwale na vanu avalutilile khuatobini vavo valondagha injila inchakhubuuda.
14 And they came to the chiefe Priestes and Elders, and said, We haue bound our selues with a solemne curse, that wee will eate nothing, vntill we haue slaine Paul.
Vakhaluta khuvavaha va vantwa na vaghogholo nukhunchova, “twiviekhi ijufwe mundukhoto uluvaha, tulekhe ukhulya khinu impakha upwakhiva tubudile kwa pavuli.
15 Nowe therefore, ye and the Council signifie to the chiefe captaine, that hee bring him foorth vnto you to morow: as though you would know some thing more perfectly of him, and we, or euer he come neere, will be readie 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 But when Pauls sisters sonne heard of their laying awaite, he went, and entred into the castel, and tolde Paul.
Ulwakhuva umwana vang'anchave va pavuli akhapulika ukhuta vilonda ukhubuda, akhaluta akhingila mughaati muboma akhambula upavuli.
17 And Paul called one of the Centurions vnto him, and said, Take this yong man hence vnto the chiefe captaine: for he hath a certaine thing to shewe him.
Upavuli akhamwilangha umbaha yumo akhanchova, “mntole udiemi uyu khwa kumbahu valigoha, ulwakhuva alienilimenyu ilyakhumbula.”
18 So hee tooke him, and brought him to the chiefe captaine, and saide, Paul the prisoner called mee vnto him, and prayed mee to bring this yong man vnto thee, which hath some thing to say vnto thee.
Pwu umbaha akhantola udiemu akhang'ielika khumbaha valigooha akhambula, “upavuli uvyakhungiwe anyielanghele niekhugeghe vindiemi uve khulyuve. alinilimenyu ilyakhukhuvula.”
19 Then the chiefe captaine tooke him by the hande, and went apart with him alone, and asked him, What hast thou to shewe me?
Ula undongonchi umbaha akhamwibata eikhivoko akhima nave palukanji, nukhumbuncha, “khinu khikhi ikhiwinogwa ukhumbula?”
20 And he saide, The Iewes haue conspired to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring foorth Paul to morow into the Council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly:
Udiemu ulakanchova, “avayahudi vanchovie ukhukhudova uvahilikhile khilavo upavuli khuvuhighi ndukhuva vinogwa ukhunchimanya inongwa nchamwene mumbulweli.
21 But let them not perswade thee: for there lie in waite for him of them, more then fourtie men, which haue bound themselues with a curse, that they will neither eate nor drinke, till they haue killed him: and nowe are they readie, and waite for thy promise.
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 chiefe captaine then let the yong man depart, after hee had charged him to vtter it to no man, that he had shewed him these things.
Pwu umbaha valighoha akhandeka undiemi ula aghodokhage akhambuli “ulekhe ukhumbu umunu uviavenchagha ukhuta umbulile inchi”.
23 And he called vnto him two certaine Centurions, saying, Make readie two hundred souldiers, that they may go to Cæsarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and two hundred with dartes, at the thirde houre 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 let them make readie an horse, that Paul being set on, may be brought safe vnto Felix the Gouernour.
Akhavavula vatesanie ifikha nu fifyo upavuli ayivombela nukhuvitola vunonu khw feliki untwa.
25 And he wrote an epistle in this maner:
Akhasima ikalata ndee.
26 Claudius Lysias vnto the most noble Gouernour Felix sendeth greeting.
Klaudio lisia kuntwa limbalanche feliki, lighonile.
27 As this man was taken of the Iewes, and shoulde haue bene killed of them, I came vpon them with the garison, and rescued him, perceiuing that he was a Romane.
Umunu uywa aibatiwana vayahudi alondiwe ukhubudiwa, punikhaluta nikhipuga ikya vasikhali nikhampokha, navile nipulikhe ukhuta munu va khutoma.
28 And when I would haue knowen the cause, wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their Council.
Nanoghile ukulu manya ukhuta khikhi vikhungilega, pwu nikhang'ieka khuvuhighi.
29 There I perceiued that hee was accused of questions of their Lawe, but had no crime worthy of death, or of bondes.
Nikavono akhahigiwagwa kundaghilo nchavene, sakhasitakhiwe khulimenyu ilyavienchaga ilyakhuta abudiwagwe nukhukungiwa.
30 And when it was shewed me, how that the Iewes layd waite for the man, I sent him straightway to thee, and commanded his accusers to speake before thee the thinges that they had against him. 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 souldiers as it was commanded them, tooke Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Pwu vala avasikhali vakhidikha ululagilo, vakhantola upavuli vakhangielikha khu antipathi pakhilo.
32 And the next day, they left the horsemen to goe with him, and returned vnto the Castel.
Ikhigono ikhikhakhongile, avasikari vingi vakhavatekha vala avikhetoga ifalasi valutage pwupaninie mumwene, ewene vakhagoodoka khuvene ukhuvitama.
33 Now when they came to Cæsarea, they deliuered the epistle to the Gouernour, and presented Paul also vnto him.
Avikietoka ifalasi vavile vafike khu kaisali, nukumpa untwa ikalata, vakhangielika upavuli pavulongo pamwene.
34 So when the Gouernour had read it, hee asked of what prouince he was: and when he vnderstoode that he was of Cilicia,
Untwa vuiembi ikalata, akhambuncha upavuli ahumile ikhilunga khilikhu; Avile alumanyile ukkhuta munu va khu kilika,
35 I will heare thee, said he, when thine accusers also are come, and commanded him to bee kept in Herods iudgement hall.
akhanchova, “nikhukhu pulihinchaga uve akhieva vikijincha avakhakhusitakhile”, akhavatavula vambikhe mu nyumba iyantwa herode.
