Acts 23
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until 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 them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Kuhani mbaha Anania akabhaamuru bhala bhabhajhemili karibu nakhu bhan'tobhayi kinywa kya muene.
3 Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, thou whitewashed wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest 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, Revilest thou 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 is the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the 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 when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
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 so said, 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, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and contended, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
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 when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the barracks.
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 cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear testimony 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, certain of 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 they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.
Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.
15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down to you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him.
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 And when the son of Paul’s sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the barracks, and 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, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing 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, who 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 with him aside privately, and asked him, What is 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 desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly.
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 are of them who lie in wait for him more than forty men, who have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now they are ready, looking for a 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 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shown 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 centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, 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 for them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring 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 most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 This man was taken by the Jews, and should have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood 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 when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
Nilondeghe kumanya kwandayakiki bhan'takili, efyo nampelili mu baraza.
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
Nikabhona kwamba atakilibhu kwandabha jha maswali gha sheria jha bhene wala atakilibhu lepi lilobhi lyolyoha lya kustahili kukomibhwa wala kukongeka.
30 And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent immediately to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
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 it 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 On the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks:
Ligono lyalyakesili, maaskari bhingi bhakabhateka bhala bhakwela farasi bhalotayi pamonga ni muene na bhene bhakakerebhuka ku ngome.
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle 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 when the governor had 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 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers also have come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
akajobha, “Nibetakup'eleka bhebhe pabhibetakuhida bhala bhabhakutakili, “akamuru abhekibhwayi pa ikulu jha Herode.
