Acts 22

1 Men brothers and fathers, do hear of me the to you (now *N(k)O*) defense.

Bhaholo na bhaise bhane, ehwiyuumile hulimwe.”

2 Having heard then that in the Hebrew language he was addressing them, even more they became quiet. And he says;

Ubungano nabhuumvwa uPaulo ayanga eshiebrania, bhonti bhapuma kati. Wayanga waga,

3 I myself (indeed *k*) am a man Jewish born in Tarsus of Cilicia, brought up however in city this at the feet of Gamaliel instructed according to [the] exactness of the of our Fathers law, a zealous one being for God even as all you yourselves are this day,

“Ane endi muyahudi, empepwe hu Tarso ieneo lya hu Kilikia, ihapite elimu humuji ogu, omwalimu wane ali yu Gamalieli. Ihamanyije idala lyaligolushi elya bhaise bhetu. Ane endi khalaganu hwa Ngulubhi, neshi shamundola.

4 who this Way persecuted as far as death binding and betraying to prisons men both and women,

Nabhalavizye nabhapinyaga alume na bhashe na bhafunje mwijela.

5 as also the high priest bears witness to me and all the elderhood, from whom also letters having received to the brothers to Damascus I was on my way going to bring also those there being bound to Jerusalem in order that they may be punished.

Ugosi wishibhanza nazee bhabhajiye ayanje, huje nahajile ekalata yabhala nayo hu Dameski, aje bhakhate nabhalete hu Yerusalemu abhantu abhidala lila aje bhalongwe.

6 It happened however to me journeying and drawing near to Damascus about noon suddenly out of heaven shining a light great around me myself;

Panabhalaga hu Dameski, lwanapalamiye, ulukhozyo lwafumile humwanya lwahozya.

7 I fell then to the ground and heard a voice saying to me; Saul Saul, why Me persecute you?

Nahumvwa izu liyiga, 'Sauli, Sauli yeenu ohumvisya?'

8 I myself then answered; Who are You Lord? He said then to me; I myself am Jesus of Nazareth whom you yourself are persecuting.

Waga ane ne Yesu, Munazareti wu mvisya.'

9 Those then with me myself being the indeed light beheld (and terrified they were *K*) the however voice not did they hear the [One] speaking to me.

Bhaala bhabhali nane bhahumvizye izu lelo sigabhalolile umuntu yayangaga nane.

10 I said then; What shall I do Lord? And the Lord said to me; Having risen up do go to Damascus, and there and there you it will be told concerning all things that it has been appointed you to do.

Nabhuuzya waga, ihonzye wili Gosi?' Wambuula waga imilila bhalaga hu Dameski uhwo ubhabhuulwe izyuhwanziwa abhombe.'

11 While now not I was seeing because of the brightness of the light that, being led by the hand by those being with me I came to Damascus.

Amaso gane gabadiye ulukhozyo lula lwali lukhali, bhaala bhabhali nane bhahata ukhono bhantwala hu Dameski.

12 Ananias then certain, a man (devout *N(k)O*) according to the law, borne witness to by all the dwelling [there] Jews,

Uhwo natangana nu muntu umo, itawa yu Anania, uyo atinihwaga na Yahudi bhonti bhabhali uhwo, umuntu uyo akhite tee isheria.

13 having come to me and having stood by [me] he said to me; Saul brother, do receive sight. And I myself And I myself on the same hour looked up at him.

Winza huline wimilila hwitagalila lyane waga holo wane Sauli, amaso gaho galole' Papaala nalola.

14 And he said; The God of the fathers of us has appointed you to know the will of Him and to see the Righteous One and to hear [the] voice out of the mouth of Him;

Waga, 'Ungulubhi waise bhetu asaluye awe uzilole ezyasungwa umwene na hwumvwe izu lyaufuma mwilomu lyakwe.

15 For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

Eshi awe ubhabhe keti wakwe zyuzilolile na hwumvwe.

16 And now why delay you? Having arisen do yourself be baptized and do yourself wash away the sins of you calling on the name (of Him. *N(K)O*)

Eshi leha akhaabile emelela? Uyoziwe uyozye embibhi zyaho, ulikwizye itawa lyakwe.'

17 It happened then to me having returned to Jerusalem and praying by me in the temple falling I into a trance

Nanawela hu Yerusalemu, nabhala mushibhanza apuute, nalola embonesyo.

18 and seeing Him saying to me; do make haste and do go away with speed out of Jerusalem, because not they will receive your (*k*) testimony about Me.

Nalola ambuula aiga sogola hu Yerusalemu abhantu sigabhabhazyitishe enongwa zyaho nuhainjanga ane.'

19 And I myself And I myself said; Lord, they themselves know that I myself was imprisoning and beating in each of those synagogues those believing on You;

Ane naga abhene bhaminye huje nabhafungaga mwijela bhabhalikwizyaga itawa lyaho mumasinagogi.

20 And when was poured out the blood of Stephen the witness of You, also I myself was already standing by and consenting (to the killing of him *K*) and watching over the garments of those executing him.

Ni danda lya Stefano uketi waho anehimiliye papipi nenalindaga amenda gabho bhabhabudaga u Stefano.'

21 And He said to me; do go, for I myself to [the] Gentiles far away will send you.

Lelo ambuulile, 'Huje ihutuma uhutali hwabhantu bhamataifa.'”

22 They were listening now to him until this word and they lifted up the voice of them saying; Away from the earth [with] such; Not for (it was proper *N(k)O*) [for] him to live!

Abhantu bhaga womo ayanje enongwa ezi. Pamande nantele bhabwaga bhage sogozyi umuntu unu pansi siga ahwanziwa aje abhe mwomi.”

23 (While shouting out *NK(o)*) (then *N(k)O*) they and casting off the garments and dust throwing into the air

Nabhabwaga bhaponya amenda nalusye amankondi humwanya,

24 Ordered the commander (to be brought in *N(k)O*) him into the barracks having directed by flogging to be examined him, so that he may know for what cause like this they were crying out against him.

ujemedari ugosi wamwinjizya uPaulo mungome. Bhabhuzya ahu bhahusheta ni nsanzo aje amanje huje yeenu abhantu bhahubwajila ibwago.

25 As however (they stretched forward *N(k)O*) him with the straps, said to the already standing by centurion Paul; If a man a Roman and uncondemned it is lawful to you to flog?

U Paulo nawakhomwa wabhuuzya uakida yapalamine nawo, “Eshi shinza hukhone umuntu yali Murumi samusile hulonje?”

26 Having heard then the centurion having gone to the commander he reported [it] saying; (do you see *K*) what are you going to do? for man this a Roman is.

U Akida wabhala hwa jemedari waga umuntu unu Murumi.”

27 Having come near then the commander said to him; do tell me, (if *k*) you yourself a Roman are? And he was saying; Yes.

Ujemedari wabhala wabhuuzya waga awe uli Murumi?” U Paulo waga, “Ena.”

28 Answered (then *N(k)O*) the commander; I myself with a great sum citizenship this bought. But Paul was saying; I myself however even has been born [so].

Ujemedari waga, “Ane nakalile ni hela oulaia.” U Paulo waga ane endi Murumi wapapwe.”

29 Immediately therefore departed from him those being about him to examine. and the commander also was afraid having ascertained that a Roman he is and because him he had having bound.

Bhabhahanzaga hubhuuzye bhasogola lwulwo. Wope ujemedari wogopa nahumvwa huje uPaulo ali Murumi na huje afunjile.

30 On the now next day desiring to know for certain why he is accused (by *N(k)O*) the Jews, he unbound him (from the chains *K*) and commanded (to assemble *N(k)O*) the chief priests and (all *N(k)O*) the council (of them, *k*) And having brought down Paul he set [him] among them.

Shandabho lwakwe ujemedari ahanzaga amanye zyabhashitakiye u Paulo. Wabhakwizya agosi bheshibhanza nalonzi bhibalaza bhonti wamwaula inyabho uPaulo waleta, wabhiha pahati.
