Incito 23
1 Paulo walabalangishisha bendeleshi ba nkuta, walambeti, “Batuloba mwense, banse bame. Ame ndekala ne buyumi bwalulama ne miyeyo yaloma pamenso a Lesa ne kukwanilisha incito shakame nshendelela kwinsa kushikila lelo pano.”
Paul behelde the counsell and sayde: men and brethre I have lived in all good coscience before God vntill this daye.
2 Hananiya, Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalanyumfweco, walambila balikuba bemana pepi ne Paulo kwambeti bamume lupaka pa mulomo.
The hye prest Ananias comaunded the that stode by to smyte him on the mouth.
3 Paulo walamwambila Hananiya, “Lesa lakakumunga obe olubumbu lwashibululwa bulongo utuba! Obe ncowekaliloko ni kwambeti ung'omboloshe kwelana ne Milawo, kayi njobe ulatalukunga Milawo pa kwambila bantu eti bangume!”
Then sayde Paul to him: God smyte the thou payntyd wall. Sittest thou and iudgest me after the lawe: and commaundest me to be smytten contrary to the lawe?
4 Nomba bantu balikuba pepi ne Paulo balamwambileti, “Ha! Ulatukananga Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo wa Lesa!”
And they that stode by sayde: revylest thou Goddes hye preste?
5 Paulo walakumbuleti, “Mobanse bame, nkandacishibangeti ni Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo. Pakwinga Mabala a Lesa alambangeti, ‘Kotamba maswi ayipa pa mwendeleshi wa bantu bakobe sobwe.’”
Then sayd Paul: I wist not brethren that he was the hye preste. For it is writte thou shalt not curse the rular of thy people.
6 Paulo mpwalaboneti nabambi balikuba Basaduki, nabambi balikuba Bafalisi, walabilikisheti, “Mobanse bame, ame nde Mufalisi, mwana wa Bafalisi! Ndomboloshewanga cebo ca kupembelela nkonkute kwa kwambeti bafwa ni bakapunduke.”
When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged.
7 Mpwalambeco, palaba kutanyumfwana pakati pa Bafalisi ne Basaduki. Popelapo balapansana.
And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided.
8 Pakwinga Basaduki bakute kwambeti kuliya kupunduka, kuliya mungelo, nambi mushimu. Balo Bafalisi bashoma byonse bitatu.
For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.
9 Neco kutanyumfwana kwalakonempa, pakwinga beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose balikuba kulubasu lwa Bafalisi balemana ne kutotekeshana cangofu, ne kwambeti, “Afwe paliya ncetulacana caipa mu muntuyu! Mpani mushimu, nambi mungelo walamba nendi.”
And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.
10 Makoto abantu abili alatotekeshana cangofu, cakwinseti mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walatineti mpani ni bamushine Paulo. Neco walambila bashilikali bakendi kuya kumufunyapo Paulo pa bantu, ne kumutwala mu nkambe ya bashilikali.
And when ther arose greate debate the captayne fearynge lest Paul shuld have bene pluckt asondre of them comaunded the soudiers to goo doune and to take him from amonge them and to bringe him into the castle.
11 Pabusuba bopelobo cindi ca mashiku, Mwami Yesu walemana pepi ne Paulo ne kumwambileti, “Yumisha moyo! Mbuli ncolambeleko kamboni muno mu Yelusalemu, anu neku Loma welela kumbeleko kamboni.”
The nyght folowyng God stode by him and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare witnes at Rome.
12 Mpobwalaca, Bayuda nabambi balabungana pamo, kupangana cakumwinshila Paulo. Balalumbila pamenso a Lesa kwambeti nteti balyepo cakulya, nambi kunwapo ciliconse mpaka bamushine Paulo.
When daye was come certayne of the Iewes gaddered them selves to geder and made a vowe sayinge that they wolde nether eate nor drinke till they had killed Paul.
13 Bantu abo balapangana sha kumushina Paulo balikuba bapitilila makumi ana.
They were aboute. xl. which had made this conspiracio.
14 Mwa bwangu bwangu balaya kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, ne kubambileti, “Tulalumbili tobene kwambeti, nteti tulyepo cintu ciliconse mpaka tukamushine Paulo.
And they cam to ye chefe prestes and elders and sayde: we have boude oure selves with a vowe that we will eate nothinge vntill we have slayne Paul.
15 Neco amwe, pamo ne bendeleshi ba nkuta bonse, muye mumusenge mukulene wa bashilikali bonse kwambeti amulete kuno Paulo. Mu mubepeti mulayandanga kunyumfwishisha cena ncalensa. Kabatana bashika nendi kuno, afwe tulalibambili ku mushina.”
Now therfore geve ye knowlege to the vpper captayne and to the counsell that he bringe him forth vnto vs to morow as though we wolde knowe some thinge more perfectly of him. But we (or ever he come neare) are redy in ye meane season to kill him.
16 Nomba muntuwendi Paulo mutuloba, walanyumfwa nshebali kupangana. Mwa bwangu bwangu walaya munkambe ya bashilikali kuya kumwambila Paulo.
When Pauls sisters sonne hearde of their layinge awayte he wet and entred into the castle and tolde Paul.
17 Popelapo Paulo walakuwa mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, ne kumwambileti, “Koya nendi mutuloba musepela uyu kuli mukulene wa bashilikali bonse, ukute maswi akumwambila.”
And Paul called one of ye vnder captaynes vnto him and sayde: bringe this younge man vnto ye hye captayne: for he hath a certayne thinge to shewe him.
18 Mukulene wa bashilikali mwanda, walamutwala mutuloba musepela kuli mukulene wa bashilikali bonse, ne kumwambileti, “Paulo usa ngotwasunga langa lankuwu ne kunsengeti ndete mutuloba uyu kuli njamwe, ukute maswi akumwambila.”
And he toke him and sayd: Paul ye presoner called me vnto him and prayed me to brige this youge ma vnto ye which hath a certayne matter to shewe ye.
19 Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse usa walamwikata kucikasa ne kuya nendi pa lubasu, ne kumwipusheti, “Nimakani cini ngolayandanga kung'ambila?”
The hye captayne toke him by the hond and wet a parte with him out of the waye: and axed him: what hast thou to saye vnto me?
20 Nendi mutuloba usa walambeti, “Bayuda nabambi balapanganeti bakese kulinjamwe lilo, kwisa kumusengeti mukamusungulule Paulo kuli bendeleshi ba nkuta, nibakabepeti balayandanga kunyumfwishisha ncobele mulandu wakendi.
And he sayd: the Iewes are determined to desyre the yt thou woldest brynge forth Paul to morowe into the counsell as though they wolde enquyre somwhat of him more parfectly.
21 Kamutaka banyumfwila sobwe, pakwinga kuli batuloba bapitilila makumi ana, beti bakabenga bamubelamina Paulo panshila. Balumbila pamenso a Lesa kwambeti, ‘nteti balye cakulya, nambi kunwa kabatana bamushina Paulo.’ Pacino cindi balibambila kumushina, balapembelelengowa ncotimukumbule.”
But folowe not their mindes: for ther lyein wayte for him of the moo then. xl. men which have boude the selves wt a vowe that they will nether eate ner drinke till they have killed him. And now are they redy and loke for thy promes.
22 Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walambeti, “Kotambilako muntu naba umo makani awa ngolang'ambiliko.” Popelapo mutuloba usa walapulamo, walaya kwabo.
The vpper captayne let ye yoge man departe and charged: se thou tell it out to no man that thou hast shewed these thinges to me.
23 Mukulene wa bashilikali walakuwa bashilikali babili bamakulene, ne kubambileti, “Mantani bashilikali myanda ibili ne bashilikali makumi asanu ne abili beshikutanta pama haki, kayi ne bashilikali myanda ibili bamafumo beti benga ku Kaisaleya, banyamuke cindi ca 9 koloko mashiku.
And he called vnto him two vnder captaynes sayinge: make redy two hondred soudiers to goo to Cesarea and horsmen threscore and ten and speare men two houndred at the thyrde houre of the nyght.
24 Nendi Paulo mu mutantike pa lihaki, mwenga mu mushikishe cena kuli Mwendeleshi Felekisi.”
And delyvre them beastes that they maye put Paul on and bringe him safe vnto Felix the hye debite
25 Usa mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walalemba nkalata njalalembamo maswi awa.
and wrote a letter in this maner.
26 “Njame Kulodiyasi Lisiyasi, ndalembelenga amwe mwalemekwa ba Felekisi, ndeti mitende.
Claudius Lisias vnto ye most mighty rular Felix sendeth gretinges.
27 Bayuda balamwikata muntuyu, balikuyanda kumushina. Lino mpondalenshibeti ni mwine Loma, ndalaya ne bashilikali kuya kumufuna.
This man was take of the Iewes and shuld have bene killed of them. Then cam I with soudiers and rescued him and perceaved that he was a Romayne.
28 Ndalikuyanda kwinshiba mulandu ngobalamupa, neco ndalamutwala ku nkuta ya Bayuda.
And when I wolde have knowen the cause wherfore they accused him I brought him forth into their cousell.
29 Ndalacaneti paliya caipa ncalensa ncelela kufwilapo, nambi kusungwa sobwe, pakwinga balikumupa mulandu pa makani a Milawo yabo bene.
There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth or of bondes.
30 Mpondalambilweti Bayuda nabambi bapangananga sha kumushina, pacindi copeleco ndalayeya kwambeti ndimutume kuli njamwe. Ndabambila bonse balikumupa mulandu kwambeti, bakese bakambe kuli njamwe mulandu ngobalamupanga.”
Afterwarde when it was shewed me how that ye Iewes layde wayte for ye man I sent him strayght waye to the and gave commaundmet to his accusars yf they had ought agaynst him to tell it vnto ye: fare well.
31 Basa bashilikali balensa ncobalambilwa. Balamanta Paulo busuba bopelobo mashiku, ne kuya kumushikisha kumunshi wa Antipatili.
Then ye soudiers as it was comaunded the toke Paul and brought him by nyght to Antipatras.
32 Mpobwalaca bashilikali beshikutanta pa mahaki balapitilisha kumushindikila Paulo, bashilikali nabambi balabwelela ku nkambe yabo.
On the morowe they lefte horsmen to goo with him and returned vnto the castle.
33 Bashilikali beshikutanta pa mahaki mpobalashika nendi ku Kaisaleya, balamupa nkalata Mwendeleshi Felekisi ne kushiya Paulo mu makasa akendi.
Which when they cam to Cesarea they delivered the epistle to the debite and presented Paul before him.
34 Mwendeleshi Felekisi mpwalapwa kubelenga nkalata, walepusha Paulo lubasu lwacishi ndwakute kufumina. Mpwalanyumfweti ukute kufuma ku Kilikiya,
When the debite had redde the letter he axed of what countre he was and when he vnderstode that he was of Cicill
35 walambeti, “Ni nkanyumfwe mulandu wakobe, bakesa balakubepeshenga.” Bashilikali walabambileti bamulonde cena mu manda akomboloshela milandu ngalebaka Helode.
I will heare the (sayde he) whe thyne accusars are come also: and commaunded him to be kepte in Herodes pallys.
