Acts 22
1 "Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you."
“Vanyalukolo kange nava Nhaata vaango, pulikisiagha uvwolesi vwango vuno kwande nivomba kulyumue un'siki ughu.”
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
Ifipugha ye fifikile u Paulo ajoova navoope ku ki Ebrania, vakajika. akaati,
3 "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the Law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you 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 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Nikavapumwisie musila iji m'paka pano mufua; nikavakunga ava ghosi nava mama na kuvatagha mu ndinde.
5 As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to 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 It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around 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 I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
Nikaghua paasi nakupulika ilisio likum'bula,'Sauli, Sauli kiki ghukung'alasia?'
8 I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazorean, whom you persecute.'
Nikamula, 'Uve veve veeni, Mutwa?' Akambuula, 'Une nene Yesu Mnazareti, juno uve ghukung'alasia.'
9 "Those who were with me indeed saw the light, and were afraid, but they did not understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
Vala vano valyale nune valyaluvwenevalyaluvwene ulumuli, looli navalyapulike ilisio lya jula juno alyajovile nune.
10 I said, 'What should I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.'
Nikaati, 'Nivombe kiki, Mutwa?' u Mutwa akam'buula, “Imagha ghwingilaghe mu Dameski; ukuo ghuvuluagha kila kiinu kinokikunoghile pivomba.
11 When I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Nilyakunilue kukola vwimila lwa lumuli Lula, pe nikaruta ku Dameski nilongosivue na mavoko ghavala vano vakale nune
12 One Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
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 to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' In that very hour I looked up at him.
Akisa kulyuune, akiima pavulongolo palyuune na kuuti, 'Nyalukolo ghwaango Sauli, lolagha. 'Ku nsiki ghulaghala nikam'bwene.
14 He said, 'The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from 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 you will be a witness for him to all people of what you have seen and heard.
Ulwakuva ghuuva mwoolesi kwa mweene ku vaanhu voonivooni ku sooni sino usivweene na kupulika.
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'
Lino kiki ghughulila? Sisimuka, Ghwofughue, usuke uvuhosi vwaako ghukulikemela ilitavua lya mweene.'
17 "It happened that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,
Ye nigomwike ku Yerusalemu, pano nilyale nikufunya n'kante munyumba inyimike ija kufunyila, lulyahumile kuuti nipelilue iyivonelo.
18 and saw him saying to me, 'Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.'
Nikam'bona akambuula, 'Angupa uhume mu Yerusalemu ng'haning'hani, ulwakuva navangitike uvwolesi vwako vwimila une.'
19 I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
Nikaati, 'Mutwa, avene vavuo vikwelevua nikavakungile mu ndinde na kuvatola vano valyakwiitike mu nyumba sooni isa kufunyila.
20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.'
Na ji danda ija Stefano umwoolesi ghwako pano jilyakungilue, une najune nilyimile pipi na pikunda kulolelela amenda ghavano valyam'budile.
21 "He said to me, 'Depart, for I will send you out far from here to non-Jewish people.'"
Looli akanivula, 'Lutagha, ulwakuva une nikukwomola ulute kuvutaali ku vaanhu avapanji.”
22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, "Rid the earth of this fellow, for he is not fit to live."
Avaanhu vakatavula ajove ilisio iili. Looli vakapalisia ilisio nakujova, “Mum'busie umuunhu uju mu iisi: ulwakuva nalunono ikalaghe.”
23 As they yelled, and threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
Ye vipalisia ilisio, vakatagha Amanda ghavanave kange vakatagha mu king'unde,
24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they yelled at him like that.
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 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, "Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?"
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 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, "What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman."
U akida jula ye apulike amasio agha, akaluta kwa jemedari um'baha na pikum'bula, akaati, “Ghulonda kuvomba kiki? Ulwakuva umuunhu uju Murumi.”
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" He said, "Yes."
Um'baha ghwa vasikari akisa na pikum'bula, “Nivuule, uve nuli m'banda ghwa Rumi?” U Paulo akaati, “Ena.”
28 The commanding officer answered, "I bought my citizenship for a great price." Paul said, "But I was born a Roman."
U jemedari akamula, “Kuilila indalama im'baha pe nikupile uvu m'bada.” looli u Paulo akam'bula, “Une nili Murumi ghwa kuholua.”
29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because 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 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down 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.
