Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
Paulo nabhalolela nekeneke abhanu bhe China no kwaika, “Bhana bhasu, nilamile imbele ya Nyamuanga kwo mutima gwe kisi kukinga woli kutya.”
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
Omugabhisi omukulu Anania nalagilila bhanu bhaliga ayei nage bhamubhume omunwa gwae.
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
Niwo Paulo namubhwila, “Nyamuanga Kajo kukubhuma awe, indugu inu iteyweko ilangi. Winyanjile niundamula kwe bhilagilo, awe oulagilila nibhumwe ku bhutasikene ne bhilagilo?”'
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu ayei nage nibhaika, “Kutya nikwo oumufuma omugabhisi mukulu owa Nyamuanga?”
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
Paulo naika, Bhana bhasu, anye nali nitakumenya ati unu Ni mugabhisi mukulu. Kulwo kubha jandikilwe, wasiga kumwaika ku bhibhi omutungi wa bhanu bhao.”
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am 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 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
Ejile akagaika ganu nibhao nyombo Nene inu yabhonekene ku bhafarisayo na ku bhasadukayo, no omukutano nigugabhanyika.
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
Kwo kubha abhasadukayo abhaika ati bhutalio bhusuko, nolwo malaika nolwo kutalio Mwoyo, Mbe nawe abhafarisayo abhaika ganu gona galio.
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)
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 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
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 having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
Ingeta inu yalubhile Latabhugenyi emeleguyu ayei nage no kwaika, “Wasiga kubhaya, kulwo kubha ubhambalie mu Yerusalemu, kwibhyo ouja okusosha obhubhambasi one mu Roma.”
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill 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 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)
Bhaliga bhalio abhanu bhambukile makumi gana bhanu bhaliga bhali no bhwilige bhunu.
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
Nibhagenda ku bhagabhisi Abhakulu na abhakaluka no kwaika, “chifumilisishe eswe abhene bhunene, chasiga kulya Chona Chona kukingila chimwite Paulo.
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
kwibhyo oli, echina chimubhile omukulu wa abhasilikale amulete kwemwe, kuti omwenda omulamula indamu yae kisi kisi. Epswe echibha chimalilie okumwita achali kujanu.”
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
Nawe omwiwa wa Paulo nongwa ati bhulio obhwilige lige, naja okwingila mulugo no kumubhwila ejo Paulo.
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to 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 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.
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 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
Omukulu wa bhasilikale namugwata okubhoko namwichundyao kumbali, namubhusha, “Nichinuki chinu owenda okumbwila?”
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
Omusigaji ulya naika, “Abhayaudi bhekilishanyishe okukusabhwa umulete Paulo mutondo mu China okubha ati abhenda okumenya emisango jae kwe chimali muno.
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
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 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
Mbe omutangasha mukulu ulya namusinga omusingaji agende jae, ejile amala okumulagilila “Utamubhila munu wona wona ati wamenyesha ganu.”
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [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 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
Nabhabhwila okuta jintyanyi ayei inu ilamugega Paulo no kumusila ku Feliki Omulamusi.
25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:
Nandika inyalubha inu ati,
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
Klaudia Lisia KU Mtwale owe chibhalo, nakukesha.
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;
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 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;
Naliga ninenda okumenya kulwaki bhamusitake, kwibhyo nimusila mu China.
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
Nindola ati aliga asitakibhwe ingulu ya masubhyo ge bhilagilo bhyebhwe, nolwo atasitakibhwe ingulu yo musango gwona gwona gunu gwaliga gwiile okumwita nolwo kubhoywa.
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)
Okumala nigumenyekana kwanye ati bhulio obhwilige lige ku mwene, no kubhalagilila bhanu one abho musitakile bhaletwe obhusitaki imbhele yao. Nibhalagana.”
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.
Mbe abhasilikale bhalya nibhacholobhela echilagilo: Nibhamuleta Paulo nibhamusakila ku Antipatri mungeta.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;
Olunaku lunu lwalubhie, abhasilikale bhafu bhabhasiga abhalinyi bha jifarasi bhagende amwi nage, bhenene nibhasubha mulugo.
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
Na abhalinyi bha jifarasi Bhejile bhakinga Kaisaria, no kumuyana Omutwale inyalubha ilya, nibhamutula Paulo imbhele yae.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Mwenene Omutwale ejile aisoma inyalubha, namubhusha Paulo asokele ejimbo ki; ejile amenya ati ni munu wa Kilikia,
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
naika,”enijo kukungwa awe bhakaja bhalya bhanu bhakusitakile,” nalagilila atulwe mu ikulu ya Herode.
