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 when Paul had looked on the assembly of them, he said: Men, my brethren; I have lived in all good conscience before God up to this day.
2 Ugosi wishibhanza wabhabhuula huje bhakhome ilomu lyakwe.
And Ananias, the priest, commanded those who stood by his side, to smite Paul on the mouth.
3 U Paulo wagamula waga Ungulubhi abhahukhome nawe, ulubhuumba lwa bhapishe ichokaa(uloongo). Ukhiye andonje, nahuje ihomwe wenee?”
And Paul said to him: God is here-after to smite thee, thou Whited Wall! For, sittest thou judging me agreeably to law, while thou transgressest the law, and commandest to smite me?
4 Bhaala bhabhahimiliye nawo bhaga esho shuhuliga ugosi wishibhanza sha Ngulubhi?”
And those standing by, said to him: Dost thou reproach the priest of God!
5 U Paulo waga, “munsajile sigaiminye huje gosi neshi shisimbilwe huje usahayanje shibhibhi ugosi wa bhantu bhaho.”
Paul said to them: I was not aware, my brethren, that he was the priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not curse 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.”
And, as Paul knew that a part of the people were of the Sadducees, and a part of the Pharisees, he cried out, in the assembly: Men, my brethren; I am a Pharisee the son of a Pharisee; and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead, I am judged.
7 Nawayanga shila, bhanda adalisanye bheene, ubhungano gwagabhanyiha.
And when he had said this, the Pharisees and Sadducees fell upon one another, and the people were divided
8 Abheene aSadukayo bhaiga nalumo uluzyuho, antumi roho, lelo Afarisayo bhahwitiha izyo zyonti.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angels, nor a spirit: but the Pharisees confess all these.
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 was great vociferation. And some Scribes of the party of the Pharisees rose up, and contended with them, and said. We have found nothing evil in this man: for if a spirit or an angel hath conversed with him, what is there in that?
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, as there was great commotion among them, the Chiliarch was afraid lest they should tear Paul in pieces. And he sent Romans, to go and pluck him from their midst, and bring him into the castle.
11 Nu siku Ugosi wayanga nu Paulo waga uganje hwogope unjanjile hu Yerusalemu eshi ubhanjanje na hu Roma.”
And when night came, our Lord appeared to Paul, and said to him: Be strong; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so also art thou to testify at Rome.
12 Nahwasha, Ayahudi bhamo bhahitiline bhafinga huje sigatibhaalye wala amwele nkahamo paka tigoje uPaulo.
And when it was morning, several of the Jews assembled together, and bound themselves by imprecations that they would neither eat nor drink until they had slain Paul.
13 Bhahali abhantu amalongo gane bhabhahitihine hwizyoo.
And they who had established this compact by oath, were more than forty persons.
14 Bhabhala hwa gosi wishibhanza na bhazee huje tihwibhishile humakhosi sigatilya na mwele paka tibude u Paulo.
And they went to the priests and Elders, and said: We have bound ourselves by imprecations, that we will taste of nothing, until we shall have slain Paul.
15 Eshi alonzi bhabhuule ujemedari amweje uPaulo alete palonzi. ate tibhahubude shasile nahwinze epa.”
And now, do ye and the chiefs of the congregation request of the Chiliarch, that he would bring him unto you, as if ye were desirous to investigate truly his conduct: and we are prepared to slay him, ere he shall come to you.
16 Lelo umwana wa yilumbu wakwe uPaulo wumvwa zyabhapanjile wabhala mungoma wabhuula uPaulo.
And the son of Paul's sister, heard of this plot: and he went into the castle, and informed Paul.
17 U Paulo wakwizya uakida waga twale umwana unu hwa jemedari, alinenongwa ezyayanje.
And Paul sent and called one of the centurions, and said to him: Conduct this youth to the Chiliarch; for he hath 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.”
And the centurion took the young man, and introduced him to the Chiliarch, and said: Paul the prisoner called me, and requested me to bring this youth to thee, for he hath something to tell thee.
19 Ula ujemedari wakhata ukhono wa bhala nawo panshinje, wabhuugya waga nongwa wili zyuhwanza ambuule?”
And the Chiliarch took the young man by his hand, and led him one side, and asked him: What hast thou 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 the young man said to him: The Jews have projected to ask thee to bring down Paul to-morrow to their assembly, as if wishing to learn something more from 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 be not thou persuaded by them: for, lo, more than forty persons of them watch for him in ambush, and have bound themselves by imprecations, that they will neither eat nor drink until they shall have slain him: and lo, they are prepared, and are waiting for thy promise
22 Ula ujemedari waleha ula ukijana abhalaje wasunda huje asahabhuula umuntu uwinji huje umbulile ezi.”
And the Chiliarch dismissed the young man, after charging him: Let no man know, that thou hast showed me these things.
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 two centurions, and said to them: Go and prepare two hundred Romans to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and shooters with the right hand two hundred; and let them set out at the third hour of the night.
24 Wabhabhuula huje bhaibhishe ifarasi yabhapande uPaulo abhe salama paka hwa Feliki Ugavana.
And provide also a saddle beast, that they may set Paul on it, and carry him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Wasimba ikalata yeiga,
And he wrote a letter and gave them, in which was, thus:
26 Klaudio Lisia hwa Liwali utuntumu u Feliki, ehulamuha.
Claudius Lysias to the excellent governor Felix; greeting.
27 Umuntu unu akhiitwe na yahudi bhahandile hubude, nabhala ni puga lya asikari humwokole, nanapata ehabari huje umuntu unu wa hu rumi.
The Jews seized this man, in order to kill him; but I came with Romans, and rescued him, when I learned that he was a Roman.
28 Ihanzaga amanyezyabhakhatiye na hulonje natwala hwibalaza.
And as I wished to know the offence, for which they criminated him, I brought him to their assembly.
29 Nalola bhahushitaka hu mambo ge sheria zyabho nantele nalimo ikosa elyalongwe huje afwe na fungwe.
And I found, that it was about questions of their law they accused him, and that an offence worthy of bonds or of death, was not upon him.
30 Nantele zyamanyiha huje bhali na njama nu Paulo nalola huje ilete huliwe nanali nkabhalinizya hulonje bhalete amshataka huliwe. Bhalagana.”
And when the wiles of a plot formed by the Jews against him came to my knowledge, I forthwith sent him to thee. And I have directed his accusers, to go and contend with him, before thee. Farewell.
31 Bhala asikari bhayeteha endajizyo: bhatwala u Paulo nu siku hu Antipatri.
Then the Romans, as they had been commanded, took Paul by night, and brought him to the city of Antipatris.
32 Shandabho lwakwe bhabhaleha asikari bhaala bhabhapinde ifarasi bhabhale nawo u Paulo, abhene bhawela hu ngomeni.
And the next day, the horsemen dismissed the footmen their associates, that they might return to the castle.
33 Bhaala bhabhapinde efarasi bhafiha ahu Kaisaria, nu Paulo bhapela uliwali ela ekalata bhabhiha u Paulo hwitagalila lyakwe.
And they brought him to Caesarea: and they delivered the letter to the governor, and set Paul before him.
34 Uliwali pawabhazya ila ikalata wabhuuzya u Paulo afuma lijimbo wili; nawamanya huje afuma hu Kilikia,
And when he had read the letter, he asked him of what province he was? And when he learned that he was of Cilicia,
35 waga, “Embahutejelezye nkashele bhinza bhabhahushitaki,” watwala hwikulu ya Herode.
he said to him: I will give thee audience, when thy accusers arrive. And he ordered him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
