Imbombo zya Atume 23
1 U Paulo wabhenya alonzi bhi baraza waga bhaholo bhane ane ihiye mwa Ngulubhi nu mwoyo ugwinza paka asanyunu ishi.”
Then Paul, looking intently at the council, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.”
2 Ugosi wishibhanza wabhabhuula huje bhakhome ilomu lyakwe.
So the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his mouth.
3 U Paulo wagamula waga Ungulubhi abhahukhome nawe, ulubhuumba lwa bhapishe ichokaa(uloongo). Ukhiye andonje, nahuje ihomwe wenee?”
Then Paul said to him: “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you command me to be struck contrary to the law!”
4 Bhaala bhabhahimiliye nawo bhaga esho shuhuliga ugosi wishibhanza sha Ngulubhi?”
So those standing by said, “Do you reproach God's high priest?”
5 U Paulo waga, “munsajile sigaiminye huje gosi neshi shisimbilwe huje usahayanje shibhibhi ugosi wa bhantu bhaho.”
Then Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
6 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.”
Now when Paul perceived that one part were Pharisees and the other Sadducees, he called out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; I am being judged concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead!”
7 Nawayanga shila, bhanda adalisanye bheene, ubhungano gwagabhanyiha.
When he had said this, an argument started between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 Abheene aSadukayo bhaiga nalumo uluzyuho, antumi roho, lelo Afarisayo bhahwitiha izyo zyonti.
(Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel or spirit, but Pharisees confess both.)
9 Ulwumvwano lwabha nalumo asimbi bhabhali na Farisayo, bhaga ate sigati lilolile ibhibhi nalimo hwa muntu unu eshi untumi, nu Mpepo nkayanjile nawo?”
There was a great clamor, and the scribes of the Pharisee party stood up and started arguing vigorously, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man; but if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God!”
10 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.
Well the dissension became such that the commander, fearing that Paul might be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and snatch him out of their midst and bring him into the barracks.
11 Nu siku Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo waga uganje hwogope unjanjile hu Yerusalemu eshi ubhanjanje na hu Roma.”
Now the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, Paul, because as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
12 Nahwasha, Ayahudi bhamo bhahitiline bhafinga huje sigatibhaalye wala amwele nkahamo paka tigoje uPaulo.
And when it was day, some of the Jews formed a conspiracy by binding themselves with a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they had destroyed Paul.
13 Bhahali abhantu amalongo gane bhabhahitihine hwizyoo.
Now there were more than forty who formed this plot.
14 Bhabhala hwa gosi wishibhanza na bhazee huje tihwibhishile humakhosi sigatilya na mwele paka tibude u Paulo.
They came to the chief priests and the elders and said: “We have bound ourselves with a terrible curse not to taste anything until we have killed Paul.
15 Eshi alonzi bhabhuule ujemedari amweje uPaulo alete palonzi. ate tibhahubude shasile nahwinze epa.”
Now you, therefore, together with the council, explain to the commander that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the facts in his case; but we are ready to destroy him before he comes near.”
16 Lelo umwana wa yilumbu wakwe uPaulo wumvwa zyabhapanjile wabhala mungoma wabhuula uPaulo.
But when Paul's sister's son heard about the ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
17 U Paulo wakwizya uakida waga twale umwana unu hwa jemedari, alinenongwa ezyayanje.
So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to tell him.”
18 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.”
So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
19 Ula ujemedari wakhata ukhono wa bhala nawo panshinje, wabhuugya waga nongwa wili zyuhwanza ambuule?”
So taking him by the hand, the commander went aside and asked privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20 Ula ukijana waga Ayahudi bhapatine huje bhalaabha awe utwale u Paulo hwibaraza shandao, nu haibhamwidala uhutwala, abhene bhaihumwubhila bhaihubuda uPaulo.
So he said: “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
21 Bhapatine abhantu amalongo gane bhahwipinyile mufinje ulwa mumakhosi huje sigabhabhalye, siga bhabhamwele paka bhabude, eshi awe usahitishe esala ezi bhahugula awe huje uyitishe hutwale.”
But you should not believe them, because more than forty of their men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat not to drink until they have destroyed him; even now they are ready, looking for your promise.”
22 Ula ujemedari waleha ula ukijana abhalaje wasunda huje asahabhuula umuntu uwinji huje umbulile ezi.”
Then the commander dismissed the young man commanding, “Don't tell anyone that you have revealed these things to me!”
23 Wabhakwizya abhaakida bhabhili wabhalajizya mweje asikari emyazibhili, bhabhale hu Kaisaria na bhala asikari bhabhapanda efarasi amalongo saba, nabhimpalala imya zibhili, mubhasogole nu siku.
Summoning two of the centurions he said: “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;
24 Wabhabhuula huje bhaibhishe ifarasi yabhapande uPaulo abhe salama paka hwa Feliki Ugavana.
and provide mounts to set Paul on so as to deliver him safely to Felix, the governor.”
25 Wasimba ikalata yeiga,
He wrote a letter with this content:
26 Klaudio Lisia hwa Liwali utuntumu u Feliki, ehulamuha.
“Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27 Umuntu unu akhiitwe na yahudi bhahandile hubude, nabhala ni puga lya asikari humwokole, nanapata ehabari huje umuntu unu wa hu rumi.
This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them; but I came with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.
28 Ihanzaga amanyezyabhakhatiye na hulonje natwala hwibalaza.
And wanting to know the reason they were accusing him, I took him down to their council.
29 Nalola bhahushitaka hu mambo ge sheria zyabho nantele nalimo ikosa elyalongwe huje afwe na fungwe.
I found that he was being accused about questions of their law, but there was no accusation worthy of death or bonds.
30 Nantele zyamanyiha huje bhali na njama nu Paulo nalola huje ilete huliwe nanali nkabhalinizya hulonje bhalete amshataka huliwe. Bhalagana.”
When I was told that the Jews were about to execute a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also directing his accusers to state the charges against him before you. Farewell.”
31 Bhala asikari bhayeteha endajizyo: bhatwala u Paulo nu siku hu Antipatri.
So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Shandabho lwakwe bhabhaleha asikari bhaala bhabhapinde ifarasi bhabhale nawo u Paulo, abhene bhawela hu ngomeni.
The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him and returned to the barracks.
33 Bhaala bhabhapinde efarasi bhafiha ahu Kaisaria, nu Paulo bhapela uliwali ela ekalata bhabhiha u Paulo hwitagalila lyakwe.
When they entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 Uliwali pawabhazya ila ikalata wabhuuzya u Paulo afuma lijimbo wili; nawamanya huje afuma hu Kilikia,
When the governor read it, he asked what province he was from; learning that it was Cilicia,
35 waga, “Embahutejelezye nkashele bhinza bhabhahushitaki,” watwala hwikulu ya Herode.
he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers also arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's Praetorium.
