Acts 23
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
Paulo kaalolekea moja kwa moja bandu ba libaraza no baya, “Mwaongo bango, natitama nnongi ya Nnongo kwa dhamira inoite hadi leno.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Kuhani nkolo Anania atiamuru balo bayemi papipi ni ywembe bankombwe munkano wake.
3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall strike you, you whitewashed wall: for sit you to judge me after the law, and command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Nga nyo Paulo kammakiya, “Nnongo alowa kukukombwa wenga, ukutwa watipakwa chokaa. Uyemi utinihukumu kwa saliya, ni ywembe waamuru nikombwe kunchogo na saliya?”
4 And they that stood by said, Revile you God's high priest?
Balo babile bayemi papipi ni ywembe babaya, “Nga nyoo wamtukangana kuhani nkolo wa Nnongo?”
5 Then said Paul, I know not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.
Paulo kabaya”mwalongo bango, nenga, nitangite kwaa panga yolo ni kuhani nkolo. Kwamana iandikwile, walowa longela vibaya nnani ya mtawala wa bandu bako.”
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Paulo paabweni panga upande umo wa libaraza ni Masadukayo na benge Mafarisayo, kapaza lilobe no baya, “alongo bango, nenga na Mfarisayo, mwana wa Mfarisayo. Ni kwa sababu yee nategemea kwa ujasiri ufufuo wa bandu ba kiwo natihukumilwa nabo.”
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
Paabaya nyoo, malumbano makolo yapangite kati ya Mafarisayo na Masadukayo, na mkutano utibaganyika.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: (pneuma) but the Pharisees confess both.
Mana Masadukayo ubaya ntopo ufufuo, na malaika wala ntopo roho, ila Mafarisayo ubaya aga gote gabile.
9 And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit (pneuma) or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
Ghasiua ngolo yatitokea na baadhi ya baandishi babile upande wa Mafarisayo bayemi na kujadili, babaya, “tubweni kwaa chochote kibaya dhidi ya mundu yolo. Namani mana roho au malaika alongela na ywembe?”
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
Muda pabile na hoja ngolo, nkolo wa majeshi ayogope panga Paulo alowa papuliwa ipande ipande na bembe, nga nyo atiamuru anajeshi bauluke pae na kuntola kwa nguvu boka kwa ajumbe ba libaraza, na kunneta katika ngome.
11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as you have testified of me in Jerusalem, so must you bear witness also at Rome.
Kilo yanyaibele Ngwana ayemi karibu ni ywembe no baya, “Kana uyogope, kwa kuwa wanishuhudia katika Yerusalemu, nga nyo walowa panga ushahidi katika Roma kae.”
12 And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Paikite bwamba, baadhi ya Ayahudi bapangite liagano na kukema laana nnani yabembe bene: babaya panga balyaa kwaa wala nywaa chochote mpaka pabambulaga Paulo.
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
Pabile na bandu zaidi ya arobaini ambao bapangite njama yee.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Bayenda kwa akolo ba makuhani na apindo no baya, “Tujibekite bene katika lana kolo, tukyee kwaa chochote mpaka tumulage Paulo.
15 Now therefore all of you with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you tomorrow, as though all of you would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, before even he comes near, are ready to kill him.
Nga nyo nambeambe, libaraza lyatimmakiya jemedari nkolo annete kwinu, kati panga mwaiamua kesi yake kwa usahihi. Kwitu tubile kwaa tayari kumulaga kabla aisa pano.”
16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Lakini mwana wa dada bake na Paulo ayowine pabile na njama, atiyenda kajingya ndani ya ngome na kummakiya Paulo.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he has a certain thing to tell him.
Paulo kankema akida yumo kabaya, “Mtole muinja yolo kwa jemedari, maana abile na neno lya kummakiya.
18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto you, who has something to say unto you.
Bai akida kantola yolo kijana ni kumpeleka kwa jemedari nkolo kammakiya, “Paulo yolo ywatabilwe anikemile kapala nikuletee kijana yoo kwako. Abile na neno lya kummakiya.”
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that you have to tell me?
Yolo jemedari nkolo kamkamwa kwa maboko kajitenga ni ywembe kando, na kunnaluya, “Ni kilebe gani ywapala kunibakiya?”
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire you that you would bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
Yolo kijana kabaya, “Bayahudi bampatike kukuloba unnete Paulo malao katika libaraza kati panga wapala kupata habari yake kwa usahihi muno.
21 But do not you yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from you.
Bai wenga kana ukubali mana bandu zaidi ya arobaini bamvizia. Batijifunga kwa laana, balyee kwaa wala nywaa mpaka palo bambulaga. Hata nambeambe babile tayari, bakilinda kibari boka kwako.”
22 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See you tell no man that you have showed these things to me.
Bai yolo jemedari nkolo annekite kijana ayende zake, baada ya kumwagiza “kana ubakiye mundu yeyote panga umeniarifu aga.”
23 And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
Abakema maakida abele kabaya batayarishe askari mia ibele kabaya na askari apanda farasi sabini, na babile na mikuki mia ibele, mwalowa boka zamu ya tatu ya kilo.
24 And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
Kaabakiya kubeka banyama tayari ambaye Paulo alowa kuntuma na kuntola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Atiandika batua kwa namna yee,
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sends greeting.
Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
Mundu yolo akamwile na bayahudi babile karibu kumulaga, nga po nayenda pamope na kikosi cha askari na kumwokoa, paniipatike habari ya kuwa ywembe ni raia wa kirumi.
28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
Nipala kutanga kwa namani watimshitakia, nga nyo natimpeleka katika libaraza.
29 Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
Nibweni panga abile ameshitakiwa kwa ajili ya maswali ga saliya yabe, wala ashitakiwa kwaa kwa neno lolote lyastahilia kubulagwa.
30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent immediately to you, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before you what they had against him. Farewell.
Boka po itangike kwango panga pabile na njama dhidi yake, nga nyo kwa haraka natimtuma kwako, na kubaagiza wamshitakia balete mashitaka dhidi yake nnongi yako. Batiagana.
31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Bai balo askari bakatii amri: batimtola Paulo bakampeleka hata Antipatri kilo.
32 On the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
Lisoba lyanyaibele, maaskari banyansima baalekite baloa apanda farasi bayende pamope ni ywembe, na bembe batikerebuka zao katika ngome.
33 Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Na bapanda farasi pabaikite Kaisaria, na kumpeya liwali yelo barua, wambekite Paulo nnongi yake.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
Ni ywembe liwali paaisomile barua, kannaluya Paulo atiboka jimbo gani; paatangite panga ni mubdu wa Kilikia,
35 I will hear you, said he, when your accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
kabaya, “Nalowa kukupekania wenga pabaisile balo bakushitakiya,” atiamuru abekwe katika ikulu ya Herode.
