1 A Pauli gubhaakolondolesheyenje meyo bhalukumbi bhala, kungai gubhashite, “Ashaapwanga, mpaka lelo juno njikwakagula a Nnungu kwa tumbilila na ng'aniyo ya muntima.”
Paulo akabhalanga moja kwa moja bhanu bha baraza ni kujobha, “Bhalongobhangu, niishi mbele sya K'yaara kwa dhamira sinofu hadi naha lelu.”
2 Penepo Bhakulungwa bha Bhaabhishila a Anania gubhaamulishenje bhalinginji tome na a Pauli bhala bhaakomanje lipapa pakang'wa.
Kuhani mbaha Anania akabhaamuru bhala bhabhajhemili karibu nakhu bhan'tobhayi kinywa kya muene.
3 Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhalanjile, “Na mmwe a Nnungu shibhankome, mmwe nni mbuti langalanga likuju nkati mbamba jika! Mmwe ntemi nkung'ukumula nne kwa kaguya shalia akuno nkakagula malajilo kwa amulisha bhandunji bhangomanje?”
Ndipo Paulo akan'jobhela, “K'yara ibetakutobha bhebhe, ukuta bhwa bhubakibhu chokaa. Utamili ukanihukumu kwa sheria, nabhi wiamuru nitobhibhwayi kinyume kya sheria?”
4 Bhandunji bhajimingenenje tome na a Pauli bhala gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhuli, mmwe nnakwatukana Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila bha a Nnungu!”
Bhala bhabhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajobha, “Ivi naha ndo kya ukandigha kuhani mbaha ghwa K'yara?”
5 A Pauli gubhajangwile, “Ashapwanga nangamumanya kuti bhenebho ni Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishilla, pabha ishijandikwa kuti, ‘Nnaabheleketele yangali ya mbone bhakulungwa bha bhandunji bhenu.’”
Paulo akajobha, “bhalongobhangu, nene namanyilepi kujha ojho ndo kuhani mbaha. Kwa kujha jhilembibhu wibetalepi kulongela vibaya panani pa mtawala wa bhanu bha jhobhi.”
6 A Pauli bhakamumanyeje kuti nkumbi gumo gwa bhalukumbi bhala pugwaaliji gwa ashi Mashadukayo na guna gwa a Shimapalishayo. Bhai, gubhautiye lilobhe lyabho pa lukumbi pala bhalinkuti, “Ashapwanga nne Nampalishayo, mwana juka Mpalishayo, ngunaukumulwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ja yuka bhawilenje.”
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 Bhakabheleketeje genego, ashi Mapalishayo na ashi Mashadukayo gubhataukengenenje na shitamo gushigabhanishe ikundi ibhili.
Bho aghajobhi agha, malumbano mabhaha ghatokili baina jha Mafarisayo ni Masadukayo, ni mkutano bhwagawanyiki.
8 Pabha ashi Mashadukayo bhakutinji kwakwa kuyuka kwa bhandunji bhawilenje, wala bhakwapinji ashimalaika bha a Nnungu wala ashimaoka, ikabheje ashi Mapalishayo bhanakulupalilanga yoweyo.
Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.
9 Nyenye guipundile na bhaajiganya bhananji bha Malajilo ga a Musha munkumbi gwa Mapalishayo, gubhajimingenenje kubheleketa kwa utiya bhalinkutinji, “Tukakushibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile abha bhandubha, pana mbumu eu malaika jwa a Nnungu ashikunguluka nabho.”
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 Mpwai gukapundeje, bhakulungwa bha ashimanjola gubhajogwepe a Pauli bhanapopotolwa na bhandunji bhala, kwa nneyo gubhaamulishenje ashimanjola bhakaashoyanje a Pauli kwa mashili pa lugwinjili pala, nikwajinjiya nnugwani lwa ashimanjola.
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 Pa shilo shakwe Bhakulungwa gubhaikopweye gubhajimi tome na a Pauli, gubhaabhalanjile, “Mwilume ntima pabha malinga shinshite ngong'ondela pa Yelushalemu pano, nneyo peyo nnapinjikwa kungong'ondela ku Loma.”
Kiru kyakyafwatili Bwana ajhemili karibu ni muene ni kujobha, “Usitili, kwa ndabha unishuhudili katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kabhele wibetakupisya ushahidi ku Roma.”
12 Kukasheje, Bhayaudi gubhatabhilenje shitabho kuti bhakalyanganga wala bhakapapilanga mpaka bhaaabhulaganje a Pauli.
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 Bhene bhandunji bhatabhilenje shene shitabhosho, pubhalinginji kupunda makumi nsheshe.
Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.
14 Bhai gubhapitengenenje kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa, gubhashitenje, “Uwe tushitabha shitabho kuti tunalye shoshowe mpaka twabhulaje a Pauli.
Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.
15 Kwa nneyo bhai, mmanganyanji na bhalukumbi mwaabhalanjilanje bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhampeleshelanje a Pauli kwitembanga kuti nnapinganga kujimanya ngani jabho ukoto. Na uwe shitwabhulaje bhakanabhe bhandishila.”
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 Ikabheje mwipwagwabho a Pauli gwapilikene jene nganijo, gwapite jinjila nnugwani lwa ashimanjola mula gwabhalugulile a Pauli jene nganijo.
Lakini muana wa dada jhake ni Paulo apeliki kujha kujhe ni njama, akalota akajhingila mugati mu ngome ni kun'jobhela Paulo.
17 Penepo a Pauli gubhaashemile bhakulungwa bhamo bha ashimanjola gubhaabhalanjile, “Muntole aju nshandaju mumpeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo shipali shindu shapinga kwaalugulila.”
Paulo akan'kuta akida mmonga ni kujobha, “N'tolayi n'songolo ojho kwa jemedari; ndabha ajhe ni lilobhi lya kun'jobhela.”
18 Bhai, linjola jula ankutolaga nshanda jula gwampeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhaakomana ngondo, gwashite, “A Pauli bhatabhwilwe bhala bhashinkunnjema ninyuga nimpeleshe aju nshandaju kwenu mmwe pabha ashikola lilobhe lyapinga kunnugulila.”
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 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhankamwile nkono nshanda jula, gubhapite najo kujika, gubhammushiye, “Upinga malanjila nndi?”
Jemedali mbaha jhola akan'kamula kwa kun'kota, “Khenu gani wilonda kun'jobhela?”
20 Jwalakwe gwashite, “Bhayaudi bhashilagana, malabhi bhannjuganje mmwe mwaapeleshe a Pauli ku lukumbi bhaitembanje kuti bhalukumbi bhanapinganga bhajimanyanje ukoto ngani jabho.
Kijana jhola akajobha “Bhayahudi bhajobhene kukusoka undetayi Paulo kilabhu ku baraza ili kana kwamba bhilonda kukabha habari sya muene kwa usahihi nesu.
21 Ikabheje mmwe nnakunde pabha bhandunji bha punda makumi nsheshe bhanakwajubhililanga. Bhashilumbilanga kuti bhakalyanganga wala papila mpaka bhaabhulaganje a Pauli. Na nnaino bhalinginji tayali pilikana nkubheleketa bhuli.”
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 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo gubhanneshile nshanda jula aijendele gubhannajile, anammalanjile mundu jojowe kuti ashikwaabhalanjila genego.
Basi jhola jemedari mbaha akandeka n'songolo akilotelayi, baada jha kundaghisya, “usin'jobheli munu jhejhioha kujobha unijobhili agha.”
23 Bhai, bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhaashemilenje bhakulungwanji bha manjola bhabhili gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mwaabhikanje tayali ashimanjola mmia pabhili, bhaakwelanga palashi makumi shabha na ashimanjola mmia pabhili bha mapanga, bhajendangananje ku Kaishalia ikanabhe ishila shaa tatu ja shilo.
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 Gubhaabhalanjilenje bhabhikanje bhannyama tayali bha kwakweya a Pauli na bhaapelekanje kwa ulele kwa a Pelikishi, bhakulungwa bha ku Yudea.”
Akabhajobhela kubheka bhanyama tayari ambaye Paulo ibetakun'tumila ni kun'tola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhajandishe bhaluwa nnei.
Akajhendika barua kwa namna ejhe,
26 “Mmakulungwa a Pelikishi, shalamu! Nne a Kilaudiashi Lishiashi ngunakunjandishila.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 “Bhayaudi bhashikunkamulanga jwene munduju na pubhalinginji tome na kummulaganga, ngapilikaneje kuti nshilambo jwa ku Loma gumbite na ashimanjola gunintapwile.
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 Nikumpeleka kulukumbi lwabhonji nkupinga nishimanye shiumilo shibhakunnugulanga jweneju.
Nilondeghe kumanya kwandayakiki bhan'takili, efyo nampelili mu baraza.
29 Guniimanyi kuti ibhakunnugulanga ni ya mitau ja shalia jabhonji gubhapegwilwenje na a Musha, ikabheje nangashibhona shoshowe shakuntenda abhulagwe eu atabhwe.
Nikabhona kwamba atakilibhu kwandabha jha maswali gha sheria jha bhene wala atakilibhu lepi lilobhi lyolyoha lya kustahili kukomibhwa wala kukongeka.
30 Ngabhalanjilweje kuti Bhayaudi bhashilagananga kummulaga jwene munduju, shangupe ngunakumpeleshela mmwe, njikwaalajilanga bhakunnugulangabho, bhannugulanje kwenu mmwe.”
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 Bhai, ashimanjola gubhaatolilenje a Pauli malinga shibhalajilwenje, gubhaapelekenje shilo mpaka ku Antipatili.
Basi askari bhala bhakatii amri: bhakan'tola Paulo bhakandeta hadi Antipatri pakilu.
32 Malabhi gakwe ashimanjola mia pabhili bhakwendangana na makongono bhala, gubhabhujilenje nikwalekanga bhakwendangana na palashi bhajendangananje na a Pauli.
Ligono lyalyakesili, maaskari bhingi bhakabhateka bhala bhakwela farasi bhalotayi pamonga ni muene na bhene bhakakerebhuka ku ngome.
33 Bhakaikanjeje ku Kaishalia, gubhaapelenje bhaluwa jila a Pelikishi bhakulungwa bha shilambo nikwabhika a Pauli mmakono gabho.
Ni bhakwela farasi bhobhafikili Kaisaria, ni kumpela liwali barua jhela, bhakambeka Paulo palongolo pa muene.
34 Bhakashomeje bhaluwa jila, gubhaabhushiyenje a Pauli bhakopweshe shilambo gani. Bhakabhalanjilweje kuti kubhakoposhele ku Kilikia,
Ni muene liwali bho ajhisomili barua, an'kotili Paulo ahomili lijimbo leleku; bhoamanyili jha kujha ni munu ghwa Kilikia,
35 gubhashite, “Shinimpilikane pushibhaikanje bhannugwilenjebho.” Kungai gubhalajile a Pauli bhabhishwe muulinda nnyumba ja uliwali ja a Elode.
akajobha, “Nibetakup'eleka bhebhe pabhibetakuhida bhala bhabhakutakili, “akamuru abhekibhwayi pa ikulu jha Herode.
