Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
U Paulo akhavalola avanu avahieghi nukhuta, “Valukholo lwango, nitamile phamiho ga Nguluve khumasage amanonu ukhudugha eilelo.”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Untekhenchi umbaha u Anania akhavavula vala vavo avaiemile pawipi phamwene vantove pandomo ugwamwene.
3 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?”
Pwu uPavuli akhambula, “UNguluve akhuta ayikhukhutova uve, ulwimato uluvamati nu ng'angha umbalafu. Uve atamile vukhng'iegha ukhunkhongha nululaghilo, pwu vutavula ukhuta nietoviwagwe ululaghielo vusalwita?”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Vala avaiemile pawipi numwene vakhanchova, “vumuhkudhukha ewo undongonchi umbaha uva Nguluve?”.
5 Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
upavuli akhanchova, “valukhololwango, une saniekhalumanye ukhuta uyu vintwa umbaha, ulwakhuva liesimbiwe, salanchova fivi khuvalongonchi vavanu vako.”
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out 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!”
Upavuli avielealumanyile uluvafu lumo lolile akhavona vamasadukhayo na avange vama falisayo, akhatoncha iliemunyu nukhunchova, “valukhololwango, line nili falisayo, nili nswambe va mafalisayo, pa inchi nihuvila khumakha uluvonekelo ulwa avafwile uvunihiegiwa nawo”.
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
Avile anchove aaga, eisongelehinie imbaha yikhahumila khuva mafalisayo nava masadukayo, na avalundamine vakhagavika.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Kuva masadudukayo vita lusikhuli uluvonekhelo, avasukhwa vasikuli munumbula, apange ava mafalisayo incho ukhuta punchile.
9 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. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
Ukhupuliehana khukhava khusikhuli muvasimib uvuvale khuluvafu ulwava mafalisayo vakhima nukhu nchova, valikhuta, “satukhiwene khinu iekhivivi muugaati munu uyu, ndakhikhi ingave umepo apange unsuhwa anchovile numwene? “.
10 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.
Unsiekhi upwulukhahumile ulupango uluvaha, umbaha va ligoha adwadile ukhuva upavuli vakhale vikhubuda nukhukhegetania na vene, pwa akhamu khuvasikhali vikhe pasi vakhampiembe khumakha ukhuhuma kuvahiegi valibalasya, nukhunglilikha kuboma.
11 The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
Ikhilo iyakhongile linkuludeva akhiem pawipi numwene akhanchora,” uladwadaga, ulwakhuva unchovile mu yelusalamu, pwu nayufue tunchivonesya uvulweli mu roma inongwa incha khubudiwa khwa pavuli.”
12 When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
vuvukhile, avayahudi avanghe vakhijiagha nukhwikho tila vavoi vakhata svakhalye nu ukhunywa khinu upwuvakhieva vibudu khw pavuli.
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Khwale na vanu avalutilile khuatobini vavo valondagha injila inchakhubuuda.
14 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.
Vakhaluta khuvavaha va vantwa na vaghogholo nukhunchova, “twiviekhi ijufwe mundukhoto uluvaha, tulekhe ukhulya khinu impakha upwakhiva tubudile kwa pavuli.
15 Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
Lieno, avahieghi vambule lindoghonchi umbaha avalighoha andete upavuli khuvene, ndumunu uviilamula ukhumala ienongwa ijamwene vunonu ufwe tupulikhela twietesaniche ukhumbuda vusafike upwutuliepho pwapha.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Ulwakhuva umwana vang'anchave va pavuli akhapulika ukhuta vilonda ukhubuda, akhaluta akhingila mughaati muboma akhambula upavuli.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
Upavuli akhamwilangha umbaha yumo akhanchova, “mntole udiemi uyu khwa kumbahu valigoha, ulwakhuva alienilimenyu ilyakhumbula.”
18 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. He has something to tell you.”
Pwu umbaha akhantola udiemu akhang'ielika khumbaha valigooha akhambula, “upavuli uvyakhungiwe anyielanghele niekhugeghe vindiemi uve khulyuve. alinilimenyu ilyakhukhuvula.”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Ula undongonchi umbaha akhamwibata eikhivoko akhima nave palukanji, nukhumbuncha, “khinu khikhi ikhiwinogwa ukhumbula?”
20 He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
Udiemu ulakanchova, “avayahudi vanchovie ukhukhudova uvahilikhile khilavo upavuli khuvuhighi ndukhuva vinogwa ukhunchimanya inongwa nchamwene mumbulweli.
21 Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
Uve ulekhe ukwidika ulwakhuva khuvale avanu valutilile khuarobaini vieyuvilile. vikhungile ulukhoto, ukhuleka ukhulya na khukhunywa amaghaasi iempaka vabude. ata uluu valiemiho vipuliekhila, uve uvatavulile.
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Pwu umbaha valighoha akhandeka undiemi ula aghodokhage akhambuli “ulekhe ukhumbu umunu uviavenchagha ukhuta umbulile inchi”.
23 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 men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
Akhavitanga avatongonchi vavile akhavula mukhavatesanie avasikali avamia avile ukhuluta khukaisaria na vasikhali avakhimanyile ukhutoghaifarasi sabini, avanyangoha avamia vavile, mwuehege pakhilo unsienki ugwaa isaa idatu.
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Akhavavula vatesanie ifikha nu fifyo upavuli ayivombela nukhuvitola vunonu khw feliki untwa.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Akhasima ikalata ndee.
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
Klaudio lisia kuntwa limbalanche feliki, lighonile.
27 “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.
Umunu uywa aibatiwana vayahudi alondiwe ukhubudiwa, punikhaluta nikhipuga ikya vasikhali nikhampokha, navile nipulikhe ukhuta munu va khutoma.
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Nanoghile ukulu manya ukhuta khikhi vikhungilega, pwu nikhang'ieka khuvuhighi.
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
Nikavono akhahigiwagwa kundaghilo nchavene, sakhasitakhiwe khulimenyu ilyavienchaga ilyakhuta abudiwagwe nukhukungiwa.
30 When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
Pwu nchikhavonike pavuvalafu palyune ukhuta une nene nilonda injila inchakhumbuda umwene, pwanikhansuhile khulyuve iembive, pwunikhavasukhile avikhung'iega valete inchuvikhunghegha umwene pavulongoto pako. valikhubielukha.”
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Pwu vala avasikhali vakhidikha ululagilo, vakhantola upavuli vakhangielikha khu antipathi pakhilo.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Ikhigono ikhikhakhongile, avasikari vingi vakhavatekha vala avikhetoga ifalasi valutage pwupaninie mumwene, ewene vakhagoodoka khuvene ukhuvitama.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Avikietoka ifalasi vavile vafike khu kaisali, nukumpa untwa ikalata, vakhangielika upavuli pavulongo pamwene.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Untwa vuiembi ikalata, akhambuncha upavuli ahumile ikhilunga khilikhu; Avile alumanyile ukkhuta munu va khu kilika,
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
akhanchova, “nikhukhu pulihinchaga uve akhieva vikijincha avakhakhusitakhile”, akhavatavula vambikhe mu nyumba iyantwa herode.
