Imbombo zya Atume 23
1 U Paulo wabhenya alonzi bhi baraza waga bhaholo bhane ane ihiye mwa Ngulubhi nu mwoyo ugwinza paka asanyunu ishi.”
AND Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 Ugosi wishibhanza wabhabhuula huje bhakhome ilomu lyakwe.
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 U Paulo wagamula waga Ungulubhi abhahukhome nawe, ulubhuumba lwa bhapishe ichokaa(uloongo). Ukhiye andonje, nahuje ihomwe wenee?”
Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 Bhaala bhabhahimiliye nawo bhaga esho shuhuliga ugosi wishibhanza sha Ngulubhi?”
And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
5 U Paulo waga, “munsajile sigaiminye huje gosi neshi shisimbilwe huje usahayanje shibhibhi ugosi wa bhantu bhaho.”
Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy 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.”
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 Nawayanga shila, bhanda adalisanye bheene, ubhungano gwagabhanyiha.
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 Abheene aSadukayo bhaiga nalumo uluzyuho, antumi roho, lelo Afarisayo bhahwitiha izyo zyonti.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the 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?”
And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath 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.
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 Nu siku Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo waga uganje hwogope unjanjile hu Yerusalemu eshi ubhanjanje na hu Roma.”
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 Nahwasha, Ayahudi bhamo bhahitiline bhafinga huje sigatibhaalye wala amwele nkahamo paka tigoje uPaulo.
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Bhahali abhantu amalongo gane bhabhahitihine hwizyoo.
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 Bhabhala hwa gosi wishibhanza na bhazee huje tihwibhishile humakhosi sigatilya na mwele paka tibude u Paulo.
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Eshi alonzi bhabhuule ujemedari amweje uPaulo alete palonzi. ate tibhahubude shasile nahwinze epa.”
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 Lelo umwana wa yilumbu wakwe uPaulo wumvwa zyabhapanjile wabhala mungoma wabhuula uPaulo.
And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 U Paulo wakwizya uakida waga twale umwana unu hwa jemedari, alinenongwa ezyayanje.
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing 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 chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Ula ujemedari wakhata ukhono wa bhala nawo panshinje, wabhuugya waga nongwa wili zyuhwanza ambuule?”
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20 Ula ukijana waga Ayahudi bhapatine huje bhalaabha awe utwale u Paulo hwibaraza shandao, nu haibhamwidala uhutwala, abhene bhaihumwubhila bhaihubuda uPaulo.
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
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 do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 Ula ujemedari waleha ula ukijana abhalaje wasunda huje asahabhuula umuntu uwinji huje umbulile ezi.”
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed 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.
And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 Wabhabhuula huje bhaibhishe ifarasi yabhapande uPaulo abhe salama paka hwa Feliki Ugavana.
And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25 Wasimba ikalata yeiga,
And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Klaudio Lisia hwa Liwali utuntumu u Feliki, ehulamuha.
Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
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 taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 Ihanzaga amanyezyabhakhatiye na hulonje natwala hwibalaza.
And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 Nalola bhahushitaka hu mambo ge sheria zyabho nantele nalimo ikosa elyalongwe huje afwe na fungwe.
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 Nantele zyamanyiha huje bhali na njama nu Paulo nalola huje ilete huliwe nanali nkabhalinizya hulonje bhalete amshataka huliwe. Bhalagana.”
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Bhala asikari bhayeteha endajizyo: bhatwala u Paulo nu siku hu Antipatri.
Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, 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.
On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Bhaala bhabhapinde efarasi bhafiha ahu Kaisaria, nu Paulo bhapela uliwali ela ekalata bhabhiha u Paulo hwitagalila lyakwe.
Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 Uliwali pawabhazya ila ikalata wabhuuzya u Paulo afuma lijimbo wili; nawamanya huje afuma hu Kilikia,
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 waga, “Embahutejelezye nkashele bhinza bhabhahushitaki,” watwala hwikulu ya Herode.
I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
