Matendo 22
1 “Ndugu zangu na baba zangu, sikilizeni utetezi wangu.”
“Bhai khan, aru baba khan, moi etiya nijor laga safai te apnikhan usorte kotha kobole ase, etu ke huni bhi.”
2 Waliposikia akisema kwa lugha ya Kiebrania, wakanyamaza kimya kabisa. Ndipo Paulo akasema,
Aru jitia tai Yehudi bhasa te koise, taikhan arubi ekdom chup thaki jaise. Titia tai aru koise,
3 “Mimi ni Myahudi, niliyezaliwa Tarso huko Kilikia, lakini nimelelewa katika mji huu. Miguuni mwa Gamalieli, nilifundishwa kikamilifu katika sheria ya baba zetu, na nikawa mwenye juhudi kwa ajili ya Mungu kama kila mmoja wenu alivyo leo.
“Moi Yehudi ase Cilicia laga Tarsus sheher te jonom luwa, etu sheher pora Gamaliel laga theng te bohi kene amikhan laga baba khan laga niyom thik pora sikhi loise, aru Isor phale jor dikena aji apnikhan jineka kori ase tineka kori ahisele.
4 Niliwatesa watu wa Njia hii hadi kufa, nikiwakamata waume kwa wake na kuwatupa gerezani,
Aru mota, maiki, hobi, etu dhorom Rasta te juwa khan ke bondhi ghor te dikene morai bhi di thakise,
5 kama kuhani mkuu na baraza zima la wazee wanavyoweza kushuhudia kunihusu. Hata nilipokea barua kutoka kwao kwenda kwa ndugu wale wa Dameski, nami nikaenda huko ili kuwaleta watu hawa Yerusalemu kama wafungwa ili waadhibiwe.
etu kotha cholawta, bura khan aru sabha bhi sakhi dibo pare, moi taikhan pora ami laga bhai khan Damascus te thaka khan logote chithi likhi diya utu bhi loise, karone moi jai kene ta te kunba thakile dhori kene Jerusalem te ani taikhan ke sajai dibo bhabise.
6 “Nilipokuwa njiani kuelekea Dameski, yapata saa sita mchana, ghafula nuru kubwa kutoka mbinguni ikanimulika kotekote.
Etu homoi moi Damascus punchibole usor hoi asele, titia din nisena homoi asele, aru sorgo pora achanak ekta dangor puhor ahi moi usorte thaki jaise.
7 Nikaanguka chini, nikasikia sauti ikiniambia, ‘Sauli, Sauli! Mbona unanitesa?’
Aru moi matite giri jaise, aru ekta awaj moike kowa hunise, ‘Saul, Saul, kele tumi Moike digdar kori ase?
8 “Nikajibu, ‘Wewe ni nani Bwana?’ “Naye akaniambia, ‘Mimi ni Yesu wa Nazareti unayemtesa.’
Karone moi hudise, ‘Probhu Apuni kun ase?’ Aru Tai moike koise, ‘Moi Nazareth Jisu ase, junke tumi dukh digdar di ase.’
9 Basi wale watu waliokuwa pamoja nami waliiona ile nuru, lakini hawakuisikia sauti ya yule aliyekuwa akisema nami.
Aru jun manu moi logot ahise, taikhan bhi puhor to dikhise aru bhoi korise, kintu taikhan moike kotha kowa laga awaj to huna nai.
10 “Nikauliza, ‘Nifanye nini Bwana?’ “Naye Bwana akaniambia, ‘Inuka uingie Dameski, huko utaambiwa yote yakupasayo kufanya.’
Titia moi koise, ‘Moi ki koribo lage Probhu?’ Aru Probhu moike koise, ‘Uthi kene Damascus te jabi, aru ta te tumi ki-ki koribo lage etu sob tumike koi dibo.’
11 Kwa kuwa nilikuwa siwezi kuona kwa ajili ya mngʼao wa ile nuru, wenzangu wakanishika mkono wakaniongoza kuingia Dameski.
Aru utu puhor bisi huwa karone moi eku dikhibo para nai, titia moi laga sathi khan laga hath dhurikena he moi Damascus te ahise.
12 “Mtu mmoja mcha Mungu, jina lake Anania, alikuja kuniona. Alizishika sana sheria zetu, na aliheshimiwa sana na Wayahudi waliokuwa wakiishi huko Dameski.
Titia Ananias koi kene ekjon asele, tai niyom mani thaka ekjon asele, aru ta te thaka Yehudi khan bisi sonman kori thaka manu ase.
13 Akasimama karibu nami, akasema, ‘Ndugu Sauli, pata kuona tena!’ Saa ile ile nikapata kuona tena, nami nikaweza kumwona.
Tai ami laga usorte ahikena koise, ‘Bhai Saul, apuni laga suku dikhi bhi.’ Aru etu homoi te moi dikhibole parise aru taike dikhise.
14 “Akasema, ‘Mungu wa baba zetu amekuchagua wewe ili ujue mapenzi yake, umwone yeye Aliye Mwenye Haki na upate kusikia maneno kutoka kinywani mwake.
Titia tai koise, ami laga baba khan laga Isor he tumike basi loise, tumi he tai itcha ke janibole aru Dharmikta Jonke sabo paribole aru tai nijor mukh pora kowa awaj ke huni bole.
15 Kwa kuwa utakuwa shahidi wake kwa watu kuhusu kile ulichokiona na kukisikia.
Kelemane tumi ki dikhise aru ki hunise etu sob manu ke koi dibole tai sakhi bonai dise.
16 Sasa basi, mbona unakawia? Inuka, ukabatizwe na dhambi zako zikasafishwe, ukiliita Jina lake.’
Tinehoile apuni etiya bhi kele bohi ase? Uthi kene baptizma loi lobi, aru prathana kori kene tai naam pora tumi laga paap dhui dibi.’
17 “Baada ya kurudi Yerusalemu, nilipokuwa ninaomba Hekaluni, nilipitiwa na usingizi wa ghafula
Titia moi aru Jerusalem te ahi kene mondoli te prathana kori asele, titia moi Atma te bhorta hoi kene darshan dikhise.
18 nikamwona Bwana akiniambia, ‘Harakisha utoke Yerusalemu upesi, maana hawataukubali ushuhuda wako kunihusu mimi.’
Aru moi Probhu ke dikhise, Tai moike koise, ‘Joldi Jerusalem chari kene jabi, kelemane taikhan Ami laga kotha tumi gawahi diya ke namanibo.’
19 “Nami nikasema, ‘Bwana, wao wenyewe wanajua jinsi nilivyokwenda kwenye kila sinagogi ili kuwatupa gerezani na kuwapiga wale waliokuamini.
Karone moi koise, ‘Probhu, moi pora biswasi khan mondoli te dhurikena bondhi ghor te diya aru mari thaka taikhan jani ase.
20 Wakati damu ya shahidi wako Stefano ilipomwagwa, mimi mwenyewe nilikuwa nimesimama kando, nikikubaliana na kitendo hicho na kutunza mavazi ya wale waliomuua.’
Aru jitia Apuni nimite mori juwa Stephen ke khun giraikena morai di thakise, ta te moi bhi thakise, aru jun manu khan pora taike morai dise utu khan laga kapra ke moi rukhi thakise.’
21 “Ndipo Bwana akaniambia, ‘Nenda, kwa maana nitakutuma mbali, kwa watu wa Mataifa.’”
Titia Tai moike koise, ‘Jabi, kelemane moi tumike yate pora dur Porjati khan logot pathai dibo.’
22 Ule umati wa watu wakamsikiliza Paulo mpaka aliposema neno hilo, ndipo wakapaza sauti zao na kupiga kelele wakisema, “Mwondoeni duniani, hafai kuishi!”
Aru taikhan etu kotha kowa tak taike huni thakise. Etu pichete taikhan awaj uthaikene hala kori koise, “Eneka manu ke prithibi pora hatai dibi, kelemane tai jinda thaki bole thik nohoi.”
23 Walipokuwa wakipiga kelele na kutoa mavazi yao huku wakirusha mavumbi juu hewani,
Titia taikhan hala kori kene taikhan laga kapra khan ulai phelaise, aru upor hawa te dhul urai thakise,
24 yule jemadari akaamuru Paulo aingizwe kwenye ngome. Akaelekeza kwamba achapwe viboko na aulizwe ili kujua kwa nini watu walikuwa wanampigia kelele namna hiyo.
titia mukhyo henedhikari pora Paul ke bondh kora jagate loi jabole hukum dise, aru manu khan kele taike iman ghusa kori ase etu janibole taike chabuk pora mari kene bhal pora hudibole koise.
25 Lakini walipokwisha kumfunga kwa kamba za ngozi ili wamchape viboko, Paulo akamwambia kiongozi wa askari aliyekuwa amesimama pale karibu naye, “Je, ni halali kwenu kwa mujibu wa sheria kumchapa mtu ambaye ni raiya wa Rumi hata kabla hajapatikana na hatia?”
Aru taikhan jitia taike chabuk mari bole taiyar korise, Paul pora tai usorte khara thaka henapoti ke koise, “Rome manu ke eku golti nathaki kene bhi chabuk mari bole niyom te ase?”
26 Yule kiongozi aliposikia maneno haya, alimwendea yule jemadari na kumwambia, “Unataka kufanya nini? Kwa maana huyu mtu ni raiya wa Rumi.”
Jitia henapoti etu kotha hunise tai mukhyo henedhikari logote jai kene koise, “Apuni eneka kele kori ase? Tai Rome laga nagrik ase.”
27 Yule jemadari akaja akamuuliza Paulo, “Niambie, wewe ni raiya wa Rumi?” Paulo akajibu, “Naam, hakika ndiyo.”
Titia henedhikari tai logot te ahikena koise, “Moike kobi, tumi Rome laga nagrik ase?” Paul koise “Hoi”.
28 Ndipo yule jemadari akasema, “Mimi ilinigharimu kiasi kikubwa cha fedha kupata uraia wangu.” Paulo akasema “Lakini mimi ni raiya wa Rumi kwa kuzaliwa.”
Etu huni kene mukhyo henedhikari pora koise, “Moi to Rome laga nagrik hobole bisi toka poisa pora kinise.” Kintu Paul koise, “Moi to jonom pora he Rome laga nagrik ase.”
29 Mara wale waliokuwa wanataka kumhoji wakajiondoa haraka, naye yule jemadari akaingiwa na hofu alipotambua ya kuwa amemfunga Paulo, ambaye ni raia wa Rumi, kwa minyororo.
Titia jun taike mari bole thakise, taikhan loge- loge tai usor pora joldi hati jaise. Aru kitia mukhyo henedhikari bhi Paul to Rome laga nagrik ase koi kene janise, tai bhi bhoi khaise kele koile tai pora Paul ke dhori kene bandh kora karone.
30 Kesho yake, kwa kuwa yule jemadari alitaka kujua hakika kwa nini Paulo alikuwa anashutumiwa na Wayahudi, alimfungua, na akawaagiza viongozi wa makuhani na baraza lote likutane. Kisha akamleta Paulo, akamsimamisha mbele yao.
Dusra din Yehudi khan pora ki nimite Paul ke doshi korise, etu janibole mukhyo henedhikari pora Paul ke khuli dise, aru mukhyo purohit khan aru sabhakhan ke joma kori bole hukum dise, aru Paul ke loi kene taikhan age te khara kori dise.
