< Matendo ya Mitume 26 >
1 Efyo, Agripa akan'jobhela Paulo, `Wiruhusibhwa kwitetela. 'Ndipo Paulo akanyosya kibhoko kya muene akakitetela naha.
2 'Nikibhona nihobhwiki, Mfalme Agripa, ili kubhomba kesi jha nene mbele jha bhebhe dhidi jha mashtaka ghoha gha bhayahudi.
3 Hasa, kwandabha bhebhe ghwe n'taalamu ghwa desturi sya bhajhahudi ni maswali. Hivyo nisoka unipelekesiajhi kwa uvumilivu.
4 Kweli, Bhayahudi bhoha bhamanyili jinsi kyaniishili kuhoma ujana bhwangu mu taifa lyangu okhu Yerusalemu.
5 Bhanimanyili kuh'omela kubhuandu na bhilondeka kujhedekela kujha naiishili kama Mfarisayo, dhehebu lenye msimamo n'kali ku dini jhitu.
6 Henu nijhemili apa nihukumulibhwayi kwandabha nene nalangili ahadi ambajho K'yara abhombili ni bha dadi jhitu.
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.
8 Kwandajhakiki jhejhioha kati jhinu ifiki kujha ajabu kwamba K'yara ifufula bhafu?
9 Wakati umonga nafikiri ne muene kujha nganibhombili mambo ghamehele dhidi jha lihina lya Yesu ghwa Nazareti.
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.
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.
12 Wakati nibhomba agha, nalotili Dameski, nikajha ni mamlaka ni malaghisu kuhoma kwa makuhani ni bhabhaha;
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.
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.
15 Ndipo nikajobha, 'Bhebhe we niani, Bwana?' Bwana akajibu, 'Nene ne Yesu ambajhe ukanitesya.
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;
17 na Nibetakuokola kwa bhanu ni bhanu bha mataifa ambapo nibetakulaghisya,
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.
19 Hivyo, mfalme Agripa, nabhwesilepi kuasi maono gha kumbinguni,
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.
21 Kwa ndabha ejhu Bhajhahudi bhanikamuili mu lihekalu, bhakajaribu kunikoma.
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;
23 kwamba Kristu lazima ibetakutesibhwa na ibetakujha gwa kuanza kufufuka kuhoma kwa bhafu ni kutangasya mwanga kwa Bhayahudi ni bhanu bha mataifa.
24 Paulo akamala kwitetela, Festo akajobha kwa sauti mbaha, 'Paulo, bhebhe ndo mwendawazimu! masomo gha bhebhe ghakubhombili ujhelayi ghwe silola.
25 Lakini Paulo akajobha, Nene namwendawazimu lepi, mheshimiwa Festo; lakini kwa ujasiri nijobha malobhi gha ukweli tu.
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.
27 Je, ghwikiera manabii, Mfalme Agripa? Nimanyi kujha wiamini.'
28 Agripa akan'jobhela Paulo, 'Kwa muda mfupi wibhwesya Mkristu?
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.”
30 Ndipo mfalme akajhema, ni liwali, ni Bernike kabhele, ni bhala bhabhajhele bhatami pamonga nabhu,
31 bho bhabhokili pa ukumbi, bhalongili bhene kwa bhene ni kujobha, 'Munu ojho akastahili lepi kifo wala kifungu.'
32 Agripa akan'jobhela Festo, “Munu ojho jhilondeka ajhelayi huru kama ngaakatilepi rufani kwa Kaisari.”
