Imbombo zya Atume 23
1 U Paulo wabhenya alonzi bhi baraza waga bhaholo bhane ane ihiye mwa Ngulubhi nu mwoyo ugwinza paka asanyunu ishi.”
Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day."
2 Ugosi wishibhanza wabhabhuula huje bhakhome ilomu lyakwe.
The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the 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. Do you sit to judge me according to the Law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?"
4 Bhaala bhabhahimiliye nawo bhaga esho shuhuliga ugosi wishibhanza sha Ngulubhi?”
Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?"
5 U Paulo waga, “munsajile sigaiminye huje gosi neshi shisimbilwe huje usahayanje shibhibhi ugosi wa bhantu bhaho.”
Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You must 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.”
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged."
7 Nawayanga shila, bhanda adalisanye bheene, ubhungano gwagabhanyiha.
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 Abheene aSadukayo bhaiga nalumo uluzyuho, antumi roho, lelo Afarisayo bhahwitiha izyo zyonti.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9 Ulwumvwano lwabha nalumo asimbi bhabhali na Farisayo, bhaga ate sigati lilolile ibhibhi nalimo hwa muntu unu eshi untumi, nu Mpepo nkayanjile nawo?”
A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit spoke to him, or an angel?"
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.
When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
11 Nu siku Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo waga uganje hwogope unjanjile hu Yerusalemu eshi ubhanjanje na hu Roma.”
The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."
12 Nahwasha, Ayahudi bhamo bhahitiline bhafinga huje sigatibhaalye wala amwele nkahamo paka tigoje uPaulo.
When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13 Bhahali abhantu amalongo gane bhabhahitihine hwizyoo.
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
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 under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
15 Eshi alonzi bhabhuule ujemedari amweje uPaulo alete palonzi. ate tibhahubude shasile nahwinze epa.”
Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near."
16 Lelo umwana wa yilumbu wakwe uPaulo wumvwa zyabhapanjile wabhala mungoma wabhuula uPaulo.
But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17 U Paulo wakwizya uakida waga twale umwana unu hwa jemedari, alinenongwa ezyayanje.
Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, "Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for 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 commanding officer, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you."
19 Ula ujemedari wakhata ukhono wa bhala nawo panshinje, wabhuugya waga nongwa wili zyuhwanza ambuule?”
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him 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.
And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they intended to inquire somewhat more thoroughly 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.”
Therefore do not yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you."
22 Ula ujemedari waleha ula ukijana abhalaje wasunda huje asahabhuula umuntu uwinji huje umbulile ezi.”
So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, "Tell no one 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.
He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at nine tonight."
24 Wabhabhuula huje bhaibhishe ifarasi yabhapande uPaulo abhe salama paka hwa Feliki Ugavana.
He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Wasimba ikalata yeiga,
He wrote a letter like this:
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, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
28 Ihanzaga amanyezyabhakhatiye na hulonje natwala hwibalaza.
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
29 Nalola bhahushitaka hu mambo ge sheria zyabho nantele nalimo ikosa elyalongwe huje afwe na fungwe.
I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
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 there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell."
31 Bhala asikari bhayeteha endajizyo: bhatwala u Paulo nu siku hu Antipatri.
So the soldiers, carrying out 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.
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go 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 came to 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 had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35 waga, “Embahutejelezye nkashele bhinza bhabhahushitaki,” watwala hwikulu ya Herode.
"I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive." He commanded that he be kept in Herod's palace.
