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.
U Paulo akavalola ghanila avaanhu avahighi na kujova, “Vanyalukolo vango, nikalile pa vulongolo pa Nguluve nu vufumbue uvunofu mpaka umusyughu iji.”
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
Un'tekesi um'bahaum'baha akavalaghila vala vano vakimile pipi nu mwene van'tove umulomo ghwa mwene.
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?
Pe u Paulo akam'bula, “U Nguluve ikukutova uve, uluvumba luno luvikilue ilikeji. Ghu kalile ghukunihigha nindaghilo, ghulaghila nitovue kinyume nhi ndaghilo?”
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Vala vano vakimile pipi nu mwene vakaati, “Anala pe ghukumuligha u n'tekesi um'baha ghwa Nguluve?”
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].’
u Paulo akaati, “Vanyalukolo vango, une nanikagwiile Kati uju ghwe n'tekesi um'baha. Ulwakuva lilembilue naghujova fiivi kwa ntemi ughwa vaanhu vaako.”
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.
U Paulo ye alolile ulubale lumo ulwa vahighi veva Masadukayo navange va Mafarisayo, akapalisia ilisio na kuuti, “Vanyalukolo vango, une nilii Mufarisayo, mwana ghwa Mufarisayo. Ulwakuuva nihuvila uvukangafu uvwa kusyuuka kuva fue vano nihighana naveene.”
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.
Ye ajovile isi, imikuno im'baha sikahumila pakate pa avatar Mafarisayo na Masadukayo, ni kipugha kika ghaving'ine.
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.
Nakiki ava Masadukaya vijova kuuti uvusyuke kwevusili, avanyamola vala nakwejili inhumbula, kange avatar Farisayo viiti aghast ghooni kweghale.
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*)
Ulunjughanjugha uluvaha lukahumila navamo avalembi vanovakale ulubale lwa Mafarisayo vakima nana kujova, “Natulolile ikinu kyekyoni kila ikivivi mwa muunhu uju. Ndani umhepo nambe unyamola ajovile nu mwne?”
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.
Unsiki kukahumile ilisaghe ilivaha, um'baha ghwa kipugha akoghopa kuuti u Paulo ademulinie ifighavefighave na veene, pe akalaghila ifipugha fiike paasi na kukun'tola ni ngufu kuhuma kwakwa nyamola avavahighi, na pikutwala mu lilinga.
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.
Ikilo jino jikavingilile u Mutwa akimile pipi nu mwene na kuuti, “Nungoghopaghe ulwakuva nivolelilile Muyerusalemu, pe ghuhumia uvwolesi kange 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.
Ye kukile, ava Yahudi vamo vakavombile ulufingo nakukemela ulughuno vwimila vuvanave vavuo: vakajovile kuuti navililia nambe kunyua kyekyoni kila m'paka vam'bude u Paulo.
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)
Kwevalyale avaanhu fijigho fine vano vakagohile isi.
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.
Vakaluta kuvavaha ava matekesi nava sehe na kujova, “Tuvikile jusue mulughuno uluvaha, natungalisaghe kyekyoni kila m'paka pano tukum'buda u 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.
Kange lino, um'baha ghwa n'sikari avavula avahighi vantwale kulyumue, kwekuuti mulamule un'kole ghwa vunofu. UsueUsue kulyusue tuning'anisie kukum'buda ya kyale kukwisa apa.”
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.
Looli umwana ghwa nuna ghwa mwene nu Paulo akapulika kuuti kukale ni njama, akaluta akingila mun'kate mulilinga na pikum'bula u 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.
U Paulo akan'kemela u akida jumbo akaati, “Mun'tole unsoleka uju um'baha ghwa va n'sikari; ulwakuva ali nilisio ilya kum'bula.”
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.
Kange u akida akantoola un'soleka jula akatwala kwa m'baha ghwa va n'sikari akambula, “U Paulo jula un'kungua akang'emelile akalondagha nin'twalile un'soleka uju kulyuve. Ali nili sio ilya kukuvula.”
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?
Um'baha Julia ughwa va n'sikari akan'kola nuluvoko akibaghuile akima mwene, pe akam'posia, “kiinu kiki kino ghulonda kukum'bula?”
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.
Un'soleka jula akaati, “ava Yahudi vapuling'ine kukun'suma atwale u Paulo pakilavo kuvahighi ulwakuti vilonda kukwupila imola sa mwene ku vunnofu fiijo.
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.
Looli uve nungitikaghe ulwakuva avaanhu fijigho fiine vikumwuvila. Vikungile nulughuno, Navangalisaghe kange navanganywisaghe nambe kyavikum'buda. Nambe lino viling'anisie, vighulila uvutavike kuhuma kuvanave.”
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.
Kange um'baha ghwa va n'sikari akamuleka un'soleka alutaghe, ye amulaghisie “Nungam'bulaghe umuunhu ghweni kuuti univulile aghast.”
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,
Akavakemela ava masinjala vaviili akaati valing'anie ava sikari filundu fivili valute ku Kaisaria navasikari avangulila farasi ifijigho lekela lubale nava nyamalala filundu viviili, muvuka mukipugha ikya vutatu.
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
Akavavula valing'anie ifidimua fiino u Paulo ivombela na kukuntola vunufu kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:
Akalemba ikalata anala,
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
U Klaudio Lisa kwa n'sikari Feliki, luhungilo.
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;
Umuunhu uju akakolilue nava Yahudi pipi pikum'buda, pe nikaluta nikipugha ikya va sikali nikamwavula, ye nipatile imola kuuti umwene vukalo uvwa Kirumi.
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;
Nikalondile kukagula nakiki vamighile, pe nikantwala kuvahighi.
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.
Nikalolile kuuti alyale ihighua vwimila vwa maswali agha ndaghilo sivanave, nambe nakahighilue iilisio lyolyoni na kulondua kubudua nambe kukungua.
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*)
Kange lumanyikika kulyune kuuti kwelule ulughelo kulyune pa uluo pe nikamwomuile ng'aning'ani kulyuve, kange valetaghe sino vamusitakile vano vikusitaka kange vatwale amakole gha mwene pavulongolo palyuve. Vakahwesania.”
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.
Looli ava sikali vakaleva indaghilo: vakan'toola u Paulo vakan'twala kange ku Antipatri pakilo.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;
Ikighono kino kikavingilile, ava sikali vinga vakavaleka vinga valavala avapanda farasi valute palikimo nu mwene, voope vakagomoka ku lilinga.
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
Navapanda farasi ye vafikile ku Kaisaria, nakum'pela un'sikari ikarata jila, vakam'biika u Paulo pavulongolo pa mwene.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Ghwope untua ye imbile ikalata, Adam'posia u Paulo jihumile kukighavi kiliku; ye akagwile kuuti muunhu ghwa ku 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.
akaati, “Nikukupulika uve pano vikwisa Valarie vano vakuhighile,” akalaghila avikue mu ikulu ja Herode.
