Acts 23
1 Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to 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 On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Kuhani mbaha Anania akabhaamuru bhala bhabhajhemili karibu nakhu bhan'tobhayi kinywa kya muene.
3 "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
Ndipo Paulo akan'jobhela, “K'yara ibetakutobha bhebhe, ukuta bhwa bhubakibhu chokaa. Utamili ukanihukumu kwa sheria, nabhi wiamuru nitobhibhwayi kinyume kya sheria?”
4 "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
Bhala bhabhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajobha, “Ivi naha ndo kya ukandigha kuhani mbaha ghwa K'yara?”
5 "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a 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 Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
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 These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
Bho aghajobhi agha, malumbano mabhaha ghatokili baina jha Mafarisayo ni Masadukayo, ni mkutano bhwagawanyiki.
8 For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.
9 So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
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 But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and 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 The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
Kiru kyakyafwatili Bwana ajhemili karibu ni muene ni kujobha, “Usitili, kwa ndabha unishuhudili katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kabhele wibetakupisya ushahidi ku Roma.”
12 Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or 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 There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.
14 They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.
Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.
15 Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
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 But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
Lakini muana wa dada jhake ni Paulo apeliki kujha kujhe ni njama, akalota akajhingila mugati mu ngome ni kun'jobhela Paulo.
17 and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give 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 Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
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 Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
Jemedali mbaha jhola akan'kamula kwa kun'kota, “Khenu gani wilonda kun'jobhela?”
20 "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
Kijana jhola akajobha “Bhayahudi bhajobhene kukusoka undetayi Paulo kilabhu ku baraza ili kana kwamba bhilonda kukabha habari sya muene kwa usahihi nesu.
21 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
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 Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
Basi jhola jemedari mbaha akandeka n'songolo akilotelayi, baada jha kundaghisya, “usin'jobheli munu jhejhioha kujobha unijobhili agha.”
23 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-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 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
Akabhajobhela kubheka bhanyama tayari ambaye Paulo ibetakun'tumila ni kun'tola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
Akajhendika barua kwa namna ejhe,
26 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
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, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
Nilondeghe kumanya kwandayakiki bhan'takili, efyo nampelili mu baraza.
29 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
Nikabhona kwamba atakilibhu kwandabha jha maswali gha sheria jha bhene wala atakilibhu lepi lilobhi lyolyoha lya kustahili kukomibhwa wala kukongeka.
30 But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
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 So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
Basi askari bhala bhakatii amri: bhakan'tola Paulo bhakandeta hadi Antipatri pakilu.
32 The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
Ligono lyalyakesili, maaskari bhingi bhakabhateka bhala bhakwela farasi bhalotayi pamonga ni muene na bhene bhakakerebhuka ku ngome.
33 and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
Ni bhakwela farasi bhobhafikili Kaisaria, ni kumpela liwali barua jhela, bhakambeka Paulo palongolo pa muene.
34 Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
Ni muene liwali bho ajhisomili barua, an'kotili Paulo ahomili lijimbo leleku; bhoamanyili jha kujha ni munu ghwa Kilikia,
35 he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
akajobha, “Nibetakup'eleka bhebhe pabhibetakuhida bhala bhabhakutakili, “akamuru abhekibhwayi pa ikulu jha Herode.
