Acts 23
1 And Paul looking earnestly upon the council, said: Brethren! I have ordered my life in all good conscience before God to this day.
Paulo akabhalanga moja kwa moja bhanu bha baraza ni kujobha, “Bhalongobhangu, niishi mbele sya K'yaara kwa dhamira sinofu hadi naha lelu.”
2 And the high-priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
Kuhani mbaha Anania akabhaamuru bhala bhabhajhemili karibu nakhu bhan'tobhayi kinywa kya muene.
3 Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall! Art thou then sitting to judge me according to the law, and dost thou command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Ndipo Paulo akan'jobhela, “K'yara ibetakutobha bhebhe, ukuta bhwa bhubakibhu chokaa. Utamili ukanihukumu kwa sheria, nabhi wiamuru nitobhibhwayi kinyume kya sheria?”
4 And they that stood by said, Dost thou revile God's high-priest?
Bhala bhabhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajobha, “Ivi naha ndo kya ukandigha kuhani mbaha ghwa K'yara?”
5 Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he was high-priest; for it is written, “Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.”
Paulo akajobha, “bhalongobhangu, nene namanyilepi kujha ojho ndo kuhani mbaha. Kwa kujha jhilembibhu wibetalepi kulongela vibaya panani pa mtawala wa bhanu bha jhobhi.”
6 But Paul, perceiving one part to be Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried aloud in the council, Brethren! I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead I am now tried.
Paulo bho abhuene jha kujha upande umonga bhwa baraza ni Masadukayo ni bhangi Mafarisayo, akakuesya sauti ni kujobha, “bhalongobhangu nene na Mfarisayo, mwana ghwa Mfarisayo. Kwa ndabha ejhu nitegemela kwa ujasiri ufufuo bhwa bhafu bhanihukumibhwa nabhu.”
7 And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Bho aghajobhi agha, malumbano mabhaha ghatokili baina jha Mafarisayo ni Masadukayo, ni mkutano bhwagawanyiki.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.
Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.
9 And there arose a great clamor; and scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose, and contended, saying, We find nothing amiss in this man; but if a spirit hath spoken to him or an angel—
Ghasia mbaha jhikatokela ni baadhi jha bhaandishi bhabhajhele lubhafu lwa Mafarisayo bhakajhema ni kujadili, bhakajobha, “tubhwelepi kyokyoh dhidi jha munu ojho. Bhuli kama roho au malaika alongili nabhu?”
10 And a great dissension arising, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.
Wakati kuhomili hoja mbaha, mbaha ghwa majeshi atilili kujha Paulo ngaalalulibhu fipandi fipandi na bhene, hivyo akaamuru bhanajeshi bhaselelayi pasi ni kuntola kwa nghofu kuhoma kwa bhajumbe bha baraza, ni kundeta mu ngome.
11 And the night following, the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast borne witness concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Kiru kyakyafwatili Bwana ajhemili karibu ni muene ni kujobha, “Usitili, kwa ndabha unishuhudili katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kabhele wibetakupisya ushahidi ku Roma.”
12 And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Bho kubhalele, baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhombi liagano ni kukuta laana panani pa bhene: bhajobhi kujha bhibetalepi kulya wala kunywa kyokyoha mpaka pabhibetakun'koma Paulo.
13 And there were more than forty who took this oath together.
Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.
14 And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.
15 Now therefore do ye with the council give notice to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you, as though ye were about to examine his case more thoroughly; and we are ready to kill him before he cometh near you.
Hivyo henu, baraza lin'jobhelayi jemedari mbaha andetayi kwa muenga, kana kwamba mwiamura kesi jha muene kwa usahihi. Kwa tete tujhe tayari kun'koma kabla jha kuhida apa.”
16 But Paul's sister's son hearing of the plot went, and entering the castle, told Paul.
Lakini muana wa dada jhake ni Paulo apeliki kujha kujhe ni njama, akalota akajhingila mugati mu ngome ni kun'jobhela Paulo.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Take this young man to the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.
Paulo akan'kuta akida mmonga ni kujobha, “N'tolayi n'songolo ojho kwa jemedari; ndabha ajhe ni lilobhi lya kun'jobhela.”
18 So he took him and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to thee, as he hath something to say to thee.
Basi akida akan'tola n'songolo jhola akandongosya kwa jemedari mbaha akan'jobhela, “Paulo jhola mfungwa anikutili alondeghe nikuletelayi n'songolo ojho kwa bhebhe. Ajhe ni lilobhi lya kujobhela.”
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand and went aside privately, and asked him, What is it that thou hast to tell me?
Jemedali mbaha jhola akan'kamula kwa kun'kota, “Khenu gani wilonda kun'jobhela?”
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though thou wert about to inquire more thoroughly concerning him.
Kijana jhola akajobha “Bhayahudi bhajobhene kukusoka undetayi Paulo kilabhu ku baraza ili kana kwamba bhilonda kukabha habari sya muene kwa usahihi nesu.
21 But do not thou yield to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and they are now ready, looking for the promise from thee.
Basi bhebhe usijhedekeli kwandabha bhanu zaidi jha arobaini bhakamvizila. Bhakikhongili kw laana, bhasili wala kunywa hadi pabhibetakun'koma. Hata henu bhajhe tayari, bhil'endela kibali kuhoma kwa bhebhe.”
22 The chief captain then dismissed the young man with the charge, Tell no one that thou hast disclosed these things to me.
Basi jhola jemedari mbaha akandeka n'songolo akilotelayi, baada jha kundaghisya, “usin'jobheli munu jhejhioha kujobha unijobhili agha.”
23 And he called to him two of the centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at the third hour of the night;
Akabhakuta maakida bhabhele akajobha bhatayarisiajhi askari mia mbili kulota Kaisaria ni askari bhakwela farasi sabini, ni bhabhajhe ni migoha mia mbili, mwibetakubhoka zamu jha tatu pakilu.
24 and provide beasts, whereon they may set Paul, and carry him safe to Felix the governor.
Akabhajobhela kubheka bhanyama tayari ambaye Paulo ibetakun'tumila ni kun'tola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Akajhendika barua kwa namna ejhe,
26 Claudius Lysias to the moss excellent governor Felix, greeting.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them; but I came upon them with the soldiery, and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
Munu ojho akamuili kwa bhayahudi bhakajha karibu kun'koma, ndipo nikalota pamonga ni kikosi kya askari nikamwokola, bhonikabhili habari kujha muene raia ghwa kirumi.
28 And wishing to know the crime of which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
Nilondeghe kumanya kwandayakiki bhan'takili, efyo nampelili mu baraza.
29 but I found him to be accused only on account of questions of their law, and to have nothing laid to his charge deserving death or bonds.
Nikabhona kwamba atakilibhu kwandabha jha maswali gha sheria jha bhene wala atakilibhu lepi lilobhi lyolyoha lya kustahili kukomibhwa wala kukongeka.
30 And having been informed of a plot against the man, I sent him at once to thee, and directed his accusers also to bring their charges against him before thee.
Kisha jhamanyikene kwa nene kujha ijhe njama dhidi jha muene, ivyo kwa haraka nikandaghisya kwa bhebhe, ni kubhalaghisya bhabhakan'shtaki kabhele bhaletayi mashataka dhidi jha muene mbele jha bhebhe. Bhakalaghana.”
31 Then the soldiers, as was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Basi askari bhala bhakatii amri: bhakan'tola Paulo bhakandeta hadi Antipatri pakilu.
32 But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the castle.
Ligono lyalyakesili, maaskari bhingi bhakabhateka bhala bhakwela farasi bhalotayi pamonga ni muene na bhene bhakakerebhuka ku ngome.
33 And they, when they had come to Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Ni bhakwela farasi bhobhafikili Kaisaria, ni kumpela liwali barua jhela, bhakambeka Paulo palongolo pa muene.
34 And having read the letter, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
Ni muene liwali bho ajhisomili barua, an'kotili Paulo ahomili lijimbo leleku; bhoamanyili jha kujha ni munu ghwa Kilikia,
35 he said, I will hear thee fully, when thy accusers also have arrived. And he ordered him to be kept in Herod's palace.
akajobha, “Nibetakup'eleka bhebhe pabhibetakuhida bhala bhabhakutakili, “akamuru abhekibhwayi pa ikulu jha Herode.
