Acts 23
1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
A Pauli gubhaakolondolesheyenje meyo bhalukumbi bhala, kungai gubhashite, “Ashaapwanga, mpaka lelo juno njikwakagula a Nnungu kwa tumbilila na ng'aniyo ya muntima.”
2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
Penepo Bhakulungwa bha Bhaabhishila a Anania gubhaamulishenje bhalinginji tome na a Pauli bhala bhaakomanje lipapa pakang'wa.
3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
Bhai, a Pauli gubhaabhalanjile, “Na mmwe a Nnungu shibhankome, mmwe nni mbuti langalanga likuju nkati mbamba jika! Mmwe ntemi nkung'ukumula nne kwa kaguya shalia akuno nkakagula malajilo kwa amulisha bhandunji bhangomanje?”
4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
Bhandunji bhajimingenenje tome na a Pauli bhala gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Bhuli, mmwe nnakwatukana Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila bha a Nnungu!”
5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
A Pauli gubhajangwile, “Ashapwanga nangamumanya kuti bhenebho ni Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishilla, pabha ishijandikwa kuti, ‘Nnaabheleketele yangali ya mbone bhakulungwa bha bhandunji bhenu.’”
6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N+kO) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N+KO) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
A Pauli bhakamumanyeje kuti nkumbi gumo gwa bhalukumbi bhala pugwaaliji gwa ashi Mashadukayo na guna gwa a Shimapalishayo. Bhai, gubhautiye lilobhe lyabho pa lukumbi pala bhalinkuti, “Ashapwanga nne Nampalishayo, mwana juka Mpalishayo, ngunaukumulwa kwa ligongo lya ngulupai ja yuka bhawilenje.”
7 This then of him (saying *N+k+o) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
Bhakabheleketeje genego, ashi Mapalishayo na ashi Mashadukayo gubhataukengenenje na shitamo gushigabhanishe ikundi ibhili.
8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N+kO) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
Pabha ashi Mashadukayo bhakutinji kwakwa kuyuka kwa bhandunji bhawilenje, wala bhakwapinji ashimalaika bha a Nnungu wala ashimaoka, ikabheje ashi Mapalishayo bhanakulupalilanga yoweyo.
9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO) (of the scribes *N+kO) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K)
Nyenye guipundile na bhaajiganya bhananji bha Malajilo ga a Musha munkumbi gwa Mapalishayo, gubhajimingenenje kubheleketa kwa utiya bhalinkutinji, “Tukakushibhona shoshowe shibhalebhile abha bhandubha, pana mbumu eu malaika jwa a Nnungu ashikunguluka nabho.”
10 great then (is becoming *N+kO) dissension, (having feared *N+kO) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK+o) (and *k) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
Mpwai gukapundeje, bhakulungwa bha ashimanjola gubhajogwepe a Pauli bhanapopotolwa na bhandunji bhala, kwa nneyo gubhaamulishenje ashimanjola bhakaashoyanje a Pauli kwa mashili pa lugwinjili pala, nikwajinjiya nnugwani lwa ashimanjola.
11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
Pa shilo shakwe Bhakulungwa gubhaikopweye gubhajimi tome na a Pauli, gubhaabhalanjile, “Mwilume ntima pabha malinga shinshite ngong'ondela pa Yelushalemu pano, nneyo peyo nnapinjikwa kungong'ondela ku Loma.”
12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N+kO) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
Kukasheje, Bhayaudi gubhatabhilenje shitabho kuti bhakalyanganga wala bhakapapilanga mpaka bhaaabhulaganje a Pauli.
13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N+kO)
Bhene bhandunji bhatabhilenje shene shitabhosho, pubhalinginji kupunda makumi nsheshe.
14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
Bhai gubhapitengenenje kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa, gubhashitenje, “Uwe tushitabha shitabho kuti tunalye shoshowe mpaka twabhulaje a Pauli.
15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K) he may bring down him (to *N+kO) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
Kwa nneyo bhai, mmanganyanji na bhalukumbi mwaabhalanjilanje bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhampeleshelanje a Pauli kwitembanga kuti nnapinganga kujimanya ngani jabho ukoto. Na uwe shitwabhulaje bhakanabhe bhandishila.”
16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N+kO) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
Ikabheje mwipwagwabho a Pauli gwapilikene jene nganijo, gwapite jinjila nnugwani lwa ashimanjola mula gwabhalugulile a Pauli jene nganijo.
17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK+o) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
Penepo a Pauli gubhaashemile bhakulungwa bhamo bha ashimanjola gubhaabhalanjile, “Muntole aju nshandaju mumpeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo shipali shindu shapinga kwaalugulila.”
18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N+kO) to lead to you having something to say to you.
Bhai, linjola jula ankutolaga nshanda jula gwampeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha bhaakomana ngondo, gwashite, “A Pauli bhatabhwilwe bhala bhashinkunnjema ninyuga nimpeleshe aju nshandaju kwenu mmwe pabha ashikola lilobhe lyapinga kunnugulila.”
19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhankamwile nkono nshanda jula, gubhapite najo kujika, gubhammushiye, “Upinga malanjila nndi?”
20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N+K+O) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
Jwalakwe gwashite, “Bhayaudi bhashilagana, malabhi bhannjuganje mmwe mwaapeleshe a Pauli ku lukumbi bhaitembanje kuti bhalukumbi bhanapinganga bhajimanyanje ukoto ngani jabho.
21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
Ikabheje mmwe nnakunde pabha bhandunji bha punda makumi nsheshe bhanakwajubhililanga. Bhashilumbilanga kuti bhakalyanganga wala papila mpaka bhaabhulaganje a Pauli. Na nnaino bhalinginji tayali pilikana nkubheleketa bhuli.”
22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N+kO) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo gubhanneshile nshanda jula aijendele gubhannajile, anammalanjile mundu jojowe kuti ashikwaabhalanjila genego.
23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
Bhai, bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhaashemilenje bhakulungwanji bha manjola bhabhili gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Mwaabhikanje tayali ashimanjola mmia pabhili, bhaakwelanga palashi makumi shabha na ashimanjola mmia pabhili bha mapanga, bhajendangananje ku Kaishalia ikanabhe ishila shaa tatu ja shilo.
24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
Gubhaabhalanjilenje bhabhikanje bhannyama tayali bha kwakweya a Pauli na bhaapelekanje kwa ulele kwa a Pelikishi, bhakulungwa bha ku Yudea.”
25 having written a letter (having *N+kO) form this:
Bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo bhala gubhajandishe bhaluwa nnei.
26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
“Mmakulungwa a Pelikishi, shalamu! Nne a Kilaudiashi Lishiashi ngunakunjandishila.
27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k) having learned that a Roman he is;
“Bhayaudi bhashikunkamulanga jwene munduju na pubhalinginji tome na kummulaganga, ngapilikaneje kuti nshilambo jwa ku Loma gumbite na ashimanjola gunintapwile.
28 Resolving (then to know *N+kO) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k) to the council of them;
Nikumpeleka kulukumbi lwabhonji nkupinga nishimanye shiumilo shibhakunnugulanga jweneju.
29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
Guniimanyi kuti ibhakunnugulanga ni ya mitau ja shalia jabhonji gubhapegwilwenje na a Musha, ikabheje nangashibhona shoshowe shakuntenda abhulagwe eu atabhwe.
30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k) going to happen (by the Jews *K) (at once *NK+O) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO)
Ngabhalanjilweje kuti Bhayaudi bhashilagananga kummulaga jwene munduju, shangupe ngunakumpeleshela mmwe, njikwaalajilanga bhakunnugulangabho, bhannugulanje kwenu mmwe.”
31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through night to Antipatris.
Bhai, ashimanjola gubhaatolilenje a Pauli malinga shibhalajilwenje, gubhaapelekenje shilo mpaka ku Antipatili.
32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N+kO) with him they returned to the barracks;
Malabhi gakwe ashimanjola mia pabhili bhakwendangana na makongono bhala, gubhabhujilenje nikwalekanga bhakwendangana na palashi bhajendangananje na a Pauli.
33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
Bhakaikanjeje ku Kaishalia, gubhaapelenje bhaluwa jila a Pelikishi bhakulungwa bha shilambo nikwabhika a Pauli mmakono gabho.
34 Having read [it] then (governor *k) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],
Bhakashomeje bhaluwa jila, gubhaabhushiyenje a Pauli bhakopweshe shilambo gani. Bhakabhalanjilweje kuti kubhakoposhele ku Kilikia,
35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N+kO) (then *k) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
gubhashite, “Shinimpilikane pushibhaikanje bhannugwilenjebho.” Kungai gubhalajile a Pauli bhabhishwe muulinda nnyumba ja uliwali ja a Elode.
