Matendo ya Mitume 26
1 Efyo, Agripa akan'jobhela Paulo, `Wiruhusibhwa kwitetela. 'Ndipo Paulo akanyosya kibhoko kya muene akakitetela naha.
Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.
2 'Nikibhona nihobhwiki, Mfalme Agripa, ili kubhomba kesi jha nene mbele jha bhebhe dhidi jha mashtaka ghoha gha bhayahudi.
I thynke my selfe happy kynge Agrippa because I shall answere this daye before the of all the thinges wherof I am accused of ye Iewes
3 Hasa, kwandabha bhebhe ghwe n'taalamu ghwa desturi sya bhajhahudi ni maswali. Hivyo nisoka unipelekesiajhi kwa uvumilivu.
namely because thou arte experte in all customes and questions which are amonge the Iewes. Wherfore I beseche the to heare me paciently.
4 Kweli, Bhayahudi bhoha bhamanyili jinsi kyaniishili kuhoma ujana bhwangu mu taifa lyangu okhu Yerusalemu.
My lyvynge of a chylde which was at the fyrst amoge myne awne nacion at Ierusalem knowe all the Iewes
5 Bhanimanyili kuh'omela kubhuandu na bhilondeka kujhedekela kujha naiishili kama Mfarisayo, dhehebu lenye msimamo n'kali ku dini jhitu.
which knew me from ye beginnynge yf they wolde testifie it. For after the most straytest secte of oure laye lyved I a pharisaye.
6 Henu nijhemili apa nihukumulibhwayi kwandabha nene nalangili ahadi ambajho K'yara abhombili ni bha dadi jhitu.
And now I stond and am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure fathers:
7 Ejhe ndo ahadi ambajho makabila ghitu kumi na mbili ghinoghela kupokela kama bhakamwabudu K'yara kwa bidii kiru ni musi. Ndo kwandabha jha tumaini e'le, mfalme Agripa, kujha Bhayahudi bhakanishtaki.
vnto which promes oure. xii. tribes instantly servynge God daye and nyght hope to come. For which hopes sake kynge Agrippa am I accused of the Iewes.
8 Kwandajhakiki jhejhioha kati jhinu ifiki kujha ajabu kwamba K'yara ifufula bhafu?
Why shuld it be thought a thinge vncredible vnto you that god shuld rayse agayne the deed?
9 Wakati umonga nafikiri ne muene kujha nganibhombili mambo ghamehele dhidi jha lihina lya Yesu ghwa Nazareti.
I also verely thought in my selfe that I ought to do many cotrary thinges clene agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:
10 Nabhombi agha ku Yerusalemu; Nabhafungili bhaamini bhingi mu ligereza na najhele ni mamlaka kuhoma kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani kubhomba naha; na wakati bhikomibhwa, napigili kura dhidi jha bhene.
which thinge I also dyd in Ierusalem. Where many of the sainctes I shut vp in preson and had receaved auctorite of ye hye prestes. And whe they were put to deeth I gave the sentence.
11 Mara nyingi nabhatobhili mu masinagogi ghoha na najaribu kubhabhomba bhaibelayi imani jha bhene. Najhele ni ligoga sana juu jha bhene na nabhabhengili ata mu miiji jha kubhuhesya.
And I punysshed them ofte in every synagoge and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad apon them and persecuted the even vnto straunge cities.
12 Wakati nibhomba agha, nalotili Dameski, nikajha ni mamlaka ni malaghisu kuhoma kwa makuhani ni bhabhaha;
About the which thinges as I went to Damasco with auctorite and licence of the hye Prestes
13 bho nijhele munjhela wakati wa pamusi, Mfalme, nabhubhwene muanga kuhoma kumbinguni bhwajhele n'kali kuliko kijobha na bhwang'aniri kutusyongoka nene ni bhanu bhabhasafiriaghe pamonga ni nene.
even at myddaye (o kynge) I sawe in ye waye a lyght from heven above the brightnes of the sunne shyne rounde about me and them which iorneyed with me.
14 Twebhona bho tubinili pasi, napeliki sauti jhilongela ni nene jhikajha jhijhoba kwa lugha jha Kiebrani: `Sauli, Sauli! Kwandajhakiki ukanitesya? Ni panonono kwa bhebhe kutobha liteke ni chokoo.
When we were all fallen to the erth I hearde a voyce speakynge vnto me and sayinge in ye Hebrue tonge: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? It is harde for the to kicke agaynste the pricke.
15 Ndipo nikajobha, 'Bhebhe we niani, Bwana?' Bwana akajibu, 'Nene ne Yesu ambajhe ukanitesya.
And I sayde: Who arte thou lorde? And he sayde I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
16 Henu jhinukayi ujhemayi kwa magolo gha jhobhi; ndabha kwa kusudi e'le nene nibhonekene kwa jhobhi, nikuteuili kujha m'tumishi ni shahidi juu jha mambo ambagho umanyili kuhusu nene henu ni mambo ghanibetakulasya baadajhe;
But ryse and stond vp on thy fete. For I have apered vnto the for this purpose to make the a minister and a witnes both of tho thinges which thou hast sene and of tho thinges in the which I will appere vnto the
17 na Nibetakuokola kwa bhanu ni bhanu bha mataifa ambapo nibetakulaghisya,
delyverynge the from the people and from ye gentyls vnto which nowe I sende the
18 kufungula mihu gha bhene ni kubhapisya mu ngisi kulota kwa muanga ni kuhoma ku nghofu sya syetani bhan'geukilayi K'yara; ili bhabhwesyajhi kupokela kuhoma kwa K'yara msamaha bhwa dhambi ni urithi ambao nibhapeli bhala bhanibhatengili kwa imani jhaijhe kwa nene.
to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritauce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.
19 Hivyo, mfalme Agripa, nabhwesilepi kuasi maono gha kumbinguni,
Wherfore kynge Agrippa I was not disobedient vnto the hevenly vision:
20 lakini, kwa bhala bhabhajhele ku Dameski hoti, ni kisha Yerusalemu ni nchi jhioha jha Yudea, kabhele ni kwa bhanu bha mataifa ghangi, nahubiri kujha bhatubuajhi ni kun'geukila K'yara, bhabhombayi matendo gha ghikastahili toba.
but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco and at Ierusalem and thorow out all the costes of Iewry and to the gentyls that they shuld repent and turne to God and do the ryght workes of repentaunce.
21 Kwa ndabha ejhu Bhajhahudi bhanikamuili mu lihekalu, bhakajaribu kunikoma.
For this cause the Iewes caught me in the temple and went about to kyll me.
22 K'yara anitangili mpaka henu, hivyo ni jhema ni kushuhudila kwa bhanu bha kawaida ni kwa bhala bhabhaha juu jha ghala ambagho manabii ni Musa bhajobhili ghitokel na sio fenge;
Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come
23 kwamba Kristu lazima ibetakutesibhwa na ibetakujha gwa kuanza kufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu ni kutangasya mwanga kwa Bhayahudi ni bhanu bha mataifa.
that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.
24 Paulo akamala kwitetela, Festo akajobha kwa sauti mbaha, 'Paulo, bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu! masomo gha bhebhe ghakubhombili ujhelayi ghwe silola.
As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.
25 Lakini Paulo akajobha, Nene namwendawazimu lepi, mheshimiwa Festo; lakini kwa ujasiri nijobha malobhi gha ukweli tu.
And Paul sayde: I am not mad most dere Festus: but speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
26 Kwa kujha mfalme umanyili kuhusu mambo agha; na hivyo, nilongela kwa uhuru kwa muene, kwa maana nijhe ni hakika kujha lijhelepi lyolyoha lya libetakufighibhwa; kwa kujha e'le libhombiki lepi pa pembeni.
The kynge knoweth of these thinges before whom I speke frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thinges are hydden fro him. For this thinge was not done in a corner.
27 Je, ghwikiera manabii, Mfalme Agripa? Nimanyi kujha wiamini.'
Kynge Agrippa belevest thou ye prophetes? I wote well thou belevest.
28 Agripa akan'jobhela Paulo, 'Kwa muda mfupi wibhwesya Mkristu?
Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.
29 Paulo akajobha, “Nikan'soka K'yara kujha, kwa mda mfupi au n'tali, sio bhebhe tu, bali bhoha bhabhakanipelekesya lelu, bhebhe kama nene, lakini bila ejhe minyororo ghya mu gereza.”
And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.
30 Ndipo mfalme akajhema, ni liwali, ni Bernike kabhele, ni bhala bhabhajhele bhatami pamonga nabhu,
And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.
31 bho bhabhokili pa ukumbi, bhalongili bhene kwa bhene ni kujobha, 'Munu ojho akastahili lepi kifo wala kifungu.'
And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.
32 Agripa akan'jobhela Festo, “Munu ojho jhilondeka ajhelayi huru kama ngaakatilepi rufani kwa Kaisari.”
Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.
