Acts 23
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
U Paulo wabhenya alonzi bhi baraza waga bhaholo bhane ane ihiye mwa Ngulubhi nu mwoyo ugwinza paka asanyunu ishi.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him, to strike him on the mouth.
Ugosi wishibhanza wabhabhuula huje bhakhome ilomu lyakwe.
3 Then said Paul to him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
U Paulo wagamula waga Ungulubhi abhahukhome nawe, ulubhuumba lwa bhapishe ichokaa(uloongo). Ukhiye andonje, nahuje ihomwe wenee?”
4 And they that stood by, said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
Bhaala bhabhahimiliye nawo bhaga esho shuhuliga ugosi wishibhanza sha Ngulubhi?”
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.
U Paulo waga, “munsajile sigaiminye huje gosi neshi shisimbilwe huje usahayanje shibhibhi ugosi wa bhantu bhaho.”
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.
U Paulo nawalola huje bhamo bhali na Sadukayo na bhamwabho bhali na Farisayo, wayanga huje ane endi Farisayo mwana wa Farisayo. Eshi esubhila uluzyuho lwa bhafwe na bhahoma husababu iyo nalongwe.”
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
Nawayanga shila, bhanda adalisanye bheene, ubhungano gwagabhanyiha.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Abheene aSadukayo bhaiga nalumo uluzyuho, antumi roho, lelo Afarisayo bhahwitiha izyo zyonti.
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.
Ulwumvwano lwabha nalumo asimbi bhabhali na Farisayo, bhaga ate sigati lilolile ibhibhi nalimo hwa muntu unu eshi untumi, nu Mpepo nkayanjile nawo?”
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul would 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 castle.
Uludalisanyo na lwabha lugosi ugosi wikeya wabhatuma abhikeya huje bhamweje u Paulo ahogope huje bhabhahuzembulanje, bhabhakwizya abhikeya huje bhinze, abhikeya bhinza nanali bhamwega u Paulo nahutwale hu 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.
Nu siku Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo waga uganje hwogope unjanjile hu Yerusalemu eshi ubhanjanje na hu 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.
Nahwasha, Ayahudi bhamo bhahitiline bhafinga huje sigatibhaalye wala amwele nkahamo paka tigoje uPaulo.
13 And they were more than forty who had made this conspiracy.
Bhahali abhantu amalongo gane bhabhahitihine hwizyoo.
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.
Bhabhala hwa gosi wishibhanza na bhazee huje tihwibhishile humakhosi sigatilya na mwele paka tibude u 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 inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before he shall come near, are ready to kill him.
Eshi alonzi bhabhuule ujemedari amweje uPaulo alete palonzi. ate tibhahubude shasile nahwinze epa.”
16 And when the son of Paul's sister heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Lelo umwana wa yilumbu wakwe uPaulo wumvwa zyabhapanjile wabhala mungoma wabhuula uPaulo.
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.
U Paulo wakwizya uakida waga twale umwana unu hwa jemedari, alinenongwa ezyayanje.
18 So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to [him], and prayed me to bring this young man to thee, who hath something to say to thee.
U akida wamwega umwana ula watwala hwa jemedari ugosi wabhuula waga, “u Paulo ula yamufunjile ankwizizye ahanzaga huje iletele, ukijana unu bhashi ali ne nongwa izyahubhuule.”
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?
Ula ujemedari wakhata ukhono wa bhala nawo panshinje, wabhuugya waga nongwa wili zyuhwanza ambuule?”
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring down Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat concerning him more perfectly.
Ula ukijana waga Ayahudi bhapatine huje bhalaabha awe utwale u Paulo hwibaraza shandao, nu haibhamwidala uhutwala, abhene bhaihumwubhila bhaihubuda uPaulo.
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.
Bhapatine abhantu amalongo gane bhahwipinyile mufinje ulwa mumakhosi huje sigabhabhalye, siga bhabhamwele paka bhabude, eshi awe usahitishe esala ezi bhahugula awe huje uyitishe hutwale.”
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.
Ula ujemedari waleha ula ukijana abhalaje wasunda huje asahabhuula umuntu uwinji huje umbulile ezi.”
23 And he called to [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
Wabhakwizya abhaakida bhabhili wabhalajizya mweje asikari emyazibhili, bhabhale hu Kaisaria na bhala asikari bhabhapanda efarasi amalongo saba, nabhimpalala imya zibhili, mubhasogole nu siku.
24 And provide [for them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe to Felix the governor.
Wabhabhuula huje bhaibhishe ifarasi yabhapande uPaulo abhe salama paka hwa Feliki Ugavana.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Wasimba ikalata yeiga,
26 Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix, [sendeth] greeting.
Klaudio Lisia hwa Liwali utuntumu u Feliki, ehulamuha.
27 This man was taken by the Jews, and would have been killed by them: then I came with a body of soldiers, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
Umuntu unu akhiitwe na yahudi bhahandile hubude, nabhala ni puga lya asikari humwokole, nanapata ehabari huje umuntu unu wa hu rumi.
28 And when I would have known the cause for which they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
Ihanzaga amanyezyabhakhatiye na hulonje natwala hwibalaza.
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.
Nalola bhahushitaka hu mambo ge sheria zyabho nantele nalimo ikosa elyalongwe huje afwe na fungwe.
30 And when it was told to me that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent forthwith to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also, to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.
Nantele zyamanyiha huje bhali na njama nu Paulo nalola huje ilete huliwe nanali nkabhalinizya hulonje bhalete amshataka huliwe. Bhalagana.”
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
Bhala asikari bhayeteha endajizyo: bhatwala u Paulo nu siku hu Antipatri.
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
Shandabho lwakwe bhabhaleha asikari bhaala bhabhapinde ifarasi bhabhale nawo u Paulo, abhene bhawela hu ngomeni.
33 Who, when they came to Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Bhaala bhabhapinde efarasi bhafiha ahu Kaisaria, nu Paulo bhapela uliwali ela ekalata bhabhiha u Paulo hwitagalila lyakwe.
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,
Uliwali pawabhazya ila ikalata wabhuuzya u Paulo afuma lijimbo wili; nawamanya huje afuma hu 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.
waga, “Embahutejelezye nkashele bhinza bhabhahushitaki,” watwala hwikulu ya Herode.
