Acts 23
1 And Paul, looking steadfastly, at the High-council, said—Brethren! I, in all good conscience have used my citizenship for God until 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 High-priest, Ananias, ordered them that stood by him, to be smiting him on the mouth.
Omugabhisi omukulu Anania nalagilila bhanu bhaliga ayei nage bhamubhume omunwa gwae.
3 Then, Paul, unto him, said—God is about to be smiting thee, thou whited wall! Dost, thou, then sit to judge me according to the law, and, unlawfully, orderest me to be smitten?
Niwo Paulo namubhwila, “Nyamuanga Kajo kukubhuma awe, indugu inu iteyweko ilangi. Winyanjile niundamula kwe bhilagilo, awe oulagilila nibhumwe ku bhutasikene ne bhilagilo?”'
4 And, they who stood by, said—The High-priest of God, dost thou revile?
Bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayei nage nibhaika, “Kutya nikwo oumufuma omugabhisi mukulu owa Nyamuanga?”
5 And Paul said—I was not aware, brethren, that he was high-priest; because it is written—Of a ruler of thy people, shalt thou not speak injuriously.
Paulo naika, Bhana bhasu, anye nali nitakumenya ati unu Ni mugabhisi mukulu. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, wasiga kumwaika ku bhibhi omutungi wa bhanu bhao.”
6 But Paul, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council—Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: —Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be 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, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng.
Ejile akagaika ganu nibhao nyombo Nene inu yabhonekene ku bhafarisayo na ku bhasadukayo, no omukutano nigugabhanyika.
8 For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them both.
Kwo kubha abhasadukayo abhaika ati bhutalio bhusuko, nolwo malaika nolwo kutalio Mwoyo, Mbe nawe abhafarisayo abhaika ganu gona galio.
9 And there arose a great outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying—Nothing bad, find we in this man; —but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger…
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, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to bring him into the castle.
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 But, on the following night, the Lord, standing over him, said—Be of good courage! for, as thou hast fully borne witness of the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou, in Rome also, bear witness.
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, when it became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain 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, this sworn-confederacy, had formed.
Bhaliga bhalio abhanu bhambukile makumi gana bhanu bhaliga bhali no bhwilige bhunu.
14 And they went unto the High-priests and Elders, and said—With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain Paul.
Nibhagenda ku bhagabhisi Abhakulu na abhakaluka no kwaika, “chifumilisishe eswe abhene bhunene, chasiga kulya Chona Chona kukingila chimwite Paulo.
15 Now, therefore, do, ye, with the High-council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
kwibhyo oli, echina chimubhile omukulu wa abhasilikale amulete kwemwe, kuti omwenda omulamula indamu yae kisi kisi. Epswe echibha chimalilie okumwita achali kujanu.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son hearing of the lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, —reported it unto Paul.
Nawe omwiwa wa Paulo nongwa ati bhulio obhwilige lige, naja okwingila mulugo no kumubhwila ejo Paulo.
17 And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said—This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto 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, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith—The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell thee.
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 captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask—What is it which thou hast to report unto me?
Omukulu wa bhasilikale namugwata okubhoko namwichundyao kumbali, namubhusha, “Nichinuki chinu owenda okumbwila?”
20 And he said—The Jews, have agreed to request thee, that, to-morrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High-council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, concerning him.
Omusigaji ulya naika, “Abhayaudi bhekilishanyishe okukusabhwa umulete Paulo mutondo mu China okubha ati abhenda okumenya emisango jae kwe chimali muno.
21 Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men, —who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting the promise, from thee.
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 captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him—Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto me.
Mbe omutangasha mukulu ulya namusinga omusingaji agende jae, ejile amala okumulagilila “Utamubhila munu wona wona ati wamenyesha ganu.”
23 And calling certain two of the centurions he said—Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea, —and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by 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 beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto Felix the governor.
Nabhabhwila okuta jintyanyi ayei inu ilamugega Paulo no kumusila ku Feliki Omulamusi.
25 And he wrote a letter, after this form: —
Nandika inyalubha inu ati,
26 Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, Joy!
Klaudia Lisia KU Mtwale owe chibhalo, nakukesha.
27 This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; having learned that he was, 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, being minded to find out the cause for which they were accusing him, [I took him down into their High-council],
Naliga ninenda okumenya kulwaki bhamusitake, kwibhyo nimusila mu China.
29 whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but, of nothing worthy of death or bonds, to be charged.
Nindola ati aliga asitakibhwe ingulu ya masubhyo ge bhilagilo bhyebhwe, nolwo atasitakibhwe ingulu yo musango gwona gwona gunu gwaliga gwiile okumwita nolwo kubhoywa.
30 But, when I was informed there would be a plot against the man, forthwith, I sent him unto thee, charging, his accusers also, to be speaking against him before thee.
Okumala nigumenyekana kwanye ati bhulio obhwilige lige ku mwene, no kubhalagilila bhanu one abho musitakile bhaletwe obhusitaki imbhele yao. Nibhalagana.”
31 So the soldiers, according to their orders, taking up Paul, brought him by night unto Antipatris;
Mbe abhasilikale bhalya nibhacholobhela echilagilo: Nibhamuleta Paulo nibhamusakila ku Antipatri mungeta.
32 and, on the morrow, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, returned to the castle, —
Olunaku lunu lwalubhie, abhasilikale bhafu bhabhasiga abhalinyi bha jifarasi bhagende amwi nage, bhenene nibhasubha mulugo.
33 and the others, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the letter unto the governor, set, Paul also, before him.
Na abhalinyi bha jifarasi Bhejile bhakinga Kaisaria, no kumuyana Omutwale inyalubha ilya, nibhamutula Paulo imbhele yae.
34 And, when he had read it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
Mwenene Omutwale ejile aisoma inyalubha, namubhusha Paulo asokele ejimbo ki; ejile amenya ati ni munu wa Kilikia,
35 I myself will hear thee in full, said he, whensoever, thine accusers also, are come; and gave orders that, in the palace of Herod, he should be kept under guard.
naika,”enijo kukungwa awe bhakaja bhalya bhanu bhakusitakile,” nalagilila atulwe mu ikulu ya Herode.
