Acts 23
1 And Paul having earnestly beheld the Sanhedrin, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived to God in all good conscience to this 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 chief priest Ananias commanded those standing 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 is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall, and you sit judging me according to the Law, and violating law, order 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 those who stood by said, “Do you revile the chief priest of God?”
Bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayei nage nibhaika, “Kutya nikwo oumufuma omugabhisi mukulu owa Nyamuanga?”
5 And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is chief priest, for it has been written: You will not speak evil of the ruler of your 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 having known that one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee—son of a Pharisee—concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I am judged.”
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 he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
Ejile akagaika ganu nibhao nyombo Nene inu yabhonekene ku bhafarisayo na ku bhasadukayo, no omukutano nigugabhanyika.
8 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no resurrection, nor messenger, nor spirit, but 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 came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees’ part having arisen, were striving, saying, “We find no evil in this man; and if a spirit spoke to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God”;
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 a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to seize him out of their midst, and to bring [him] into the stronghold.
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 on the following night, the LORD having stood by him, said, “Take courage, Paul, for as you fully testified [to] the things concerning Me at Jerusalem, so you must also testify 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 day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, cursed themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they may kill 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 who made this conspiracy by oath,
Bhaliga bhalio abhanu bhambukile makumi gana bhanu bhaliga bhali no bhwilige bhunu.
14 who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, “With a curse we accursed ourselves—to taste nothing until we have killed Paul;
Nibhagenda ku bhagabhisi Abhakulu na abhakaluka no kwaika, “chifumilisishe eswe abhene bhunene, chasiga kulya Chona Chona kukingila chimwite Paulo.
15 now, therefore, you, signify to the chief captain, with the Sanhedrin, that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming near, are ready to put him to death.”
kwibhyo oli, echina chimubhile omukulu wa abhasilikale amulete kwemwe, kuti omwenda omulamula indamu yae kisi kisi. Epswe echibha chimalilie okumwita achali kujanu.”
16 And the son of Paul’s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the stronghold, told Paul,
Nawe omwiwa wa Paulo nongwa ati bhulio obhwilige lige, naja okwingila mulugo no kumubhwila ejo Paulo.
17 and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, “Lead this young man to the chief captain, for he has something 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 He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him to the chief captain and says, “The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] to bring to you this young man, having something to say to you.”
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 chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, “What is that which you have to tell me?”
Omukulu wa bhasilikale namugwata okubhoko namwichundyao kumbali, namubhusha, “Nichinuki chinu owenda okumbwila?”
20 And he said, “The Jews agreed to request you, that tomorrow you may bring down Paul to the Sanhedrin, as being about to inquire something more exactly concerning him;
Omusigaji ulya naika, “Abhayaudi bhekilishanyishe okukusabhwa umulete Paulo mutondo mu China okubha ati abhenda okumenya emisango jae kwe chimali muno.
21 you, therefore, may you not yield to them, for there more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who cursed themselves—not to eat nor to drink until they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.”
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 chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him], “Tell no one that you have shown these things to me”;
Mbe omutangasha mukulu ulya namusinga omusingaji agende jae, ejile amala okumulagilila “Utamubhila munu wona wona ati wamenyesha ganu.”
23 and having called a certain two of the centurions near, he said, “Make ready two hundred soldiers, that they may go on to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, from 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 also provide beasts, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe to Felix the governor”;
Nabhabhwila okuta jintyanyi ayei inu ilamugega Paulo no kumusila ku Feliki Omulamusi.
25 he having written a letter after this description:
Nandika inyalubha inu ati,
26 “Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, greetings:
Klaudia Lisia KU Mtwale owe chibhalo, nakukesha.
27 This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them—having come with the army, I rescued him, having learned 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 intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin,
Naliga ninenda okumenya kulwaki bhamusitake, kwibhyo nimusila mu China.
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
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 a plot having been intimated to me against this man—about to be of the Jews—I sent to you at once, having also given command to the accusers to say the things against him before you; be strong.”
Okumala nigumenyekana kwanye ati bhulio obhwilige lige ku mwene, no kubhalagilila bhanu one abho musitakile bhaletwe obhusitaki imbhele yao. Nibhalagana.”
31 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
Mbe abhasilikale bhalya nibhacholobhela echilagilo: Nibhamuleta Paulo nibhamusakila ku Antipatri mungeta.
32 and on the next day, having permitted the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the stronghold;
Olunaku lunu lwalubhie, abhasilikale bhafu bhabhasiga abhalinyi bha jifarasi bhagende amwi nage, bhenene nibhasubha mulugo.
33 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
Na abhalinyi bha jifarasi Bhejile bhakinga Kaisaria, no kumuyana Omutwale inyalubha ilya, nibhamutula Paulo imbhele yae.
34 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
Mwenene Omutwale ejile aisoma inyalubha, namubhusha Paulo asokele ejimbo ki; ejile amenya ati ni munu wa Kilikia,
35 “I will hear you,” he said, “when your accusers may also have come”; he also commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
naika,”enijo kukungwa awe bhakaja bhalya bhanu bhakusitakile,” nalagilila atulwe mu ikulu ya Herode.
