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”;
U Paulo akavalola ghanila avaanhu avahighi na kujova, “Vanyalukolo vango, nikalile pa vulongolo pa Nguluve nu vufumbue uvunofu mpaka umusyughu iji.”
2 and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike him on the mouth,
Un'tekesi um'bahaum'baha akavalaghila vala vano vakimile pipi nu mwene van'tove umulomo ghwa mwene.
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!”
Pe u Paulo akam'bula, “U Nguluve ikukutova uve, uluvumba luno luvikilue ilikeji. Ghu kalile ghukunihigha nindaghilo, ghulaghila nitovue kinyume nhi ndaghilo?”
4 And those who stood by said, “Do you revile the chief priest of God?”
Vala vano vakimile pipi nu mwene vakaati, “Anala pe ghukumuligha u n'tekesi um'baha ghwa Nguluve?”
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”;
u Paulo akaati, “Vanyalukolo vango, une nanikagwiile Kati uju ghwe n'tekesi um'baha. Ulwakuva lilembilue naghujova fiivi kwa ntemi ughwa vaanhu vaako.”
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.”
U Paulo ye alolile ulubale lumo ulwa vahighi veva Masadukayo navange va Mafarisayo, akapalisia ilisio na kuuti, “Vanyalukolo vango, une nilii Mufarisayo, mwana ghwa Mufarisayo. Ulwakuuva nihuvila uvukangafu uvwa kusyuuka kuva fue vano nihighana naveene.”
7 And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
Ye ajovile isi, imikuno im'baha sikahumila pakate pa avatar Mafarisayo na Masadukayo, ni kipugha kika ghaving'ine.
8 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no resurrection, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
Nakiki ava Masadukaya vijova kuuti uvusyuke kwevusili, avanyamola vala nakwejili inhumbula, kange avatar Farisayo viiti aghast ghooni kweghale.
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”;
Ulunjughanjugha uluvaha lukahumila navamo avalembi vanovakale ulubale lwa Mafarisayo vakima nana kujova, “Natulolile ikinu kyekyoni kila ikivivi mwa muunhu uju. Ndani umhepo nambe unyamola ajovile nu mwne?”
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.
Unsiki kukahumile ilisaghe ilivaha, um'baha ghwa kipugha akoghopa kuuti u Paulo ademulinie ifighavefighave na veene, pe akalaghila ifipugha fiike paasi na kukun'tola ni ngufu kuhuma kwakwa nyamola avavahighi, na pikutwala mu lilinga.
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.”
Ikilo jino jikavingilile u Mutwa akimile pipi nu mwene na kuuti, “Nungoghopaghe ulwakuva nivolelilile Muyerusalemu, pe ghuhumia uvwolesi kange 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;
Ye kukile, ava Yahudi vamo vakavombile ulufingo nakukemela ulughuno vwimila vuvanave vavuo: vakajovile kuuti navililia nambe kunyua kyekyoni kila m'paka vam'bude u Paulo.
13 and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,
Kwevalyale avaanhu fijigho fine vano vakagohile isi.
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;
Vakaluta kuvavaha ava matekesi nava sehe na kujova, “Tuvikile jusue mulughuno uluvaha, natungalisaghe kyekyoni kila m'paka pano tukum'buda u 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.”
Kange lino, um'baha ghwa n'sikari avavula avahighi vantwale kulyumue, kwekuuti mulamule un'kole ghwa vunofu. UsueUsue kulyusue tuning'anisie kukum'buda ya kyale kukwisa apa.”
16 And the son of Paul’s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the stronghold, told Paul,
Looli umwana ghwa nuna ghwa mwene nu Paulo akapulika kuuti kukale ni njama, akaluta akingila mun'kate mulilinga na pikum'bula u 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.”
U Paulo akan'kemela u akida jumbo akaati, “Mun'tole unsoleka uju um'baha ghwa va n'sikari; ulwakuva ali nilisio ilya kum'bula.”
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.”
Kange u akida akantoola un'soleka jula akatwala kwa m'baha ghwa va n'sikari akambula, “U Paulo jula un'kungua akang'emelile akalondagha nin'twalile un'soleka uju kulyuve. Ali nili sio ilya kukuvula.”
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?”
Um'baha Julia ughwa va n'sikari akan'kola nuluvoko akibaghuile akima mwene, pe akam'posia, “kiinu kiki kino ghulonda kukum'bula?”
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;
Un'soleka jula akaati, “ava Yahudi vapuling'ine kukun'suma atwale u Paulo pakilavo kuvahighi ulwakuti vilonda kukwupila imola sa mwene ku vunnofu fiijo.
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.”
Looli uve nungitikaghe ulwakuva avaanhu fijigho fiine vikumwuvila. Vikungile nulughuno, Navangalisaghe kange navanganywisaghe nambe kyavikum'buda. Nambe lino viling'anisie, vighulila uvutavike kuhuma kuvanave.”
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”;
Kange um'baha ghwa va n'sikari akamuleka un'soleka alutaghe, ye amulaghisie “Nungam'bulaghe umuunhu ghweni kuuti univulile aghast.”
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;
Akavakemela ava masinjala vaviili akaati valing'anie ava sikari filundu fivili valute ku Kaisaria navasikari avangulila farasi ifijigho lekela lubale nava nyamalala filundu viviili, muvuka mukipugha ikya vutatu.
24 also provide beasts, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe to Felix the governor”;
Akavavula valing'anie ifidimua fiino u Paulo ivombela na kukuntola vunufu kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 he having written a letter after this description:
Akalemba ikalata anala,
26 “Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, greetings:
U Klaudio Lisa kwa n'sikari Feliki, luhungilo.
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;
Umuunhu uju akakolilue nava Yahudi pipi pikum'buda, pe nikaluta nikipugha ikya va sikali nikamwavula, ye nipatile imola kuuti umwene vukalo uvwa Kirumi.
28 and intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin,
Nikalondile kukagula nakiki vamighile, pe nikantwala kuvahighi.
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
Nikalolile kuuti alyale ihighua vwimila vwa maswali agha ndaghilo sivanave, nambe nakahighilue iilisio lyolyoni na kulondua kubudua nambe kukungua.
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.”
Kange lumanyikika kulyune kuuti kwelule ulughelo kulyune pa uluo pe nikamwomuile ng'aning'ani kulyuve, kange valetaghe sino vamusitakile vano vikusitaka kange vatwale amakole gha mwene pavulongolo palyuve. Vakahwesania.”
31 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
Looli ava sikali vakaleva indaghilo: vakan'toola u Paulo vakan'twala kange ku Antipatri pakilo.
32 and on the next day, having permitted the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the stronghold;
Ikighono kino kikavingilile, ava sikali vinga vakavaleka vinga valavala avapanda farasi valute palikimo nu mwene, voope vakagomoka ku lilinga.
33 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
Navapanda farasi ye vafikile ku Kaisaria, nakum'pela un'sikari ikarata jila, vakam'biika u Paulo pavulongolo pa mwene.
34 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
Ghwope untua ye imbile ikalata, Adam'posia u Paulo jihumile kukighavi kiliku; ye akagwile kuuti muunhu ghwa ku 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.
akaati, “Nikukupulika uve pano vikwisa Valarie vano vakuhighile,” akalaghila avikue mu ikulu ja Herode.
