< Acts 26 >

1 Agrippa then to Paul was saying; It is permitted you (for *N+kO) yourself to speak. Then Paul having stretched out the hand was presenting a defense:
Bhai, Agilipa gubhaabhalanjile a Pauli, “Nnaino mmelekete malobhe genu.” Penepo a Pauli gubhajinwile nkono gwabho gubhatandwibhe kubheleketa nkwitapula bhalinkuti.
2 Concerning all of which I am accused by [the] Jews, King Agrippa, I have esteemed myself fortunate before you being about today to present a defense;
“Mmakulungwa Agilipa, lelo ngunakwiibhona njikola shikono sha jima na mmwe nibheleketa malobhe ga kuitapula, kwa ngani ja malobhe gowe gubhanugwilenje Bhayaudi.
3 Especially acquainted being you with all the of [the] Jews (customs *NK+o) and also controversies. therefore I implore (you *k) patiently to hear me.
Kwa nneyo mmwe mmayene muimanyi ukoto ikubho ya Bhayaudi na shibhakuti taukangana, bhai ngunakunnjuga mwiipililile kumbilikanishiya.”
4 The indeed then manner of life of mine which [is] from youth from [its] beginning having been among the nation of mine in (also *no) Jerusalem know all the Jews
“Bhayaudi bhowe bhamanyinji nne shinjite tama kutandubhila gwana gwangu, shinjite tama pa shilambo shangu na ku Yelushalemu.
5 knowing me from the first, if they may be willing to testify that according to the strictest sect of our own religion I lived [as] a Pharisee;
Gwaumila bhukala Bhayaudi bhamanyinji nne, numbe bhapingangaga kungong'ondela bhanaakombolanga, pabha kuumila bhukala munaaliji munkumbi gwa Ashimapalishayo, nilikagulila ukoto malajilo ga dini jetu.
6 And now for [the] hope of the (to *N+kO) the fathers of us promise having been made by God I have stood being judged,
Na nnaino nyimi apano kuukumulwa ligongo lya kulupalila malajilo gubhapegwilwenje bhanangulungwa bhetu na a Nnungu.
7 to which the twelve tribes of us in earnestness night and day serving they hope to attain, concerning which hope I am accused (Agrippa *K) by (the *k) Jews, O king,
Gene malaganogo ni gaakulupalilwa na makabhila likumi limo na gabhili ga bhandunji bhetu, akuno bhalitumbilanga kwaatindibhalila a Nnungu shilo na mui. Mmakulungwa, gubhanugulanga nne Bhayaudi, ni ga jene ngulupaijo!
8 Why incredible is it judged by you if God [the] dead raises?
Kwa nndi kwenu mmanganyanji nnakulibhonanga lilobhe lya a Nnungu lya kwaayuyanga bhawilenje linaganishiywa nngabha lya kulupalika?”
9 I myself indeed therefore thought in myself to the name of Jesus of Nazareth needing many things contrary to do,
“Nkali nne namwene naganishiyaga kuti ngunapinjikwa ndende itendi ya kulikana lina lya a Yeshu Bhanashaleti.
10 which also I did in Jerusalem and many (also *no) of the saints I myself (in *no) prisons locked up the from the chief priests authority having received, when were being executed then they I cast against [them] a vote;
Genego nigundendile ku Yelushalemu. Punapegwilwe malajilo na bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishilanga, njinkwaatabhanga mmagelesha bhandunji bha ukonjelo. Na pubhabhulagwangaga nne natendaga kunda.
11 And in all the synagogues often punishing them I was compelling [them] to blaspheme, Excessively then being furious against them I was persecuting [them] as far as even to foreign cities.
Na papagwinji mmashinagogi gowe nashinkwaapotekanga nilikwashishilishiyanga bhajikananje ngulupai jabhonji. Nnjimwa yangu ishinkupunda mbuti akwete shalubha, gumbite kwaapotekanga nkali muilambo ya taliya.”
12 during which (and *k) journeying to Damascus with [the] authority and commission which [is] (from *k) the chief priests
“Bhai kwa ligongo lyolyo pelyo, gumbite ku Dameshiki nilimbegwilwe mashili na malajilo na bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila.
13 At day mid on the road I saw, O king, from heaven above the brightness of the sun having shone around me a light and those with me myself journeying.
Mmakulungwa, puyaliji mui nili mumpanda, gunishibhweni shilangaya shapunda shilangaya sha lyubha shilikopoka kunani kunnungu, nimulishila nne na ashaamwanja ajangunji.
14 All (and *N+kO) when were falling down we to the ground I heard a voice (saying *N+kO) to me (and saying *k) in the Hebrew language; Saul Saul, why Me persecute you? [It is] hard for you against [the] goads to kick.
Gutugwile pai tubhowe, gumbilikene lilobhe lilimalanjila kwa Shiebhulania, ‘A Shauli, a Shauli! Pakuti nnaanjima? Nkakombola mmwe kulikoma lionga na lukongono.’”
15 I myself then said; Who are You Lord? And (the Lord *no) said; I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting.
“Nne gumushiye, ‘Mmakulungwa mwe agani?’ Bhakulungwa gubhajangwile, ‘Nne a Yeshu, bhunkwapoteka.
16 But do rise up and do stand on the feet of you; to this [purpose] for I have appeared to you to appoint you a servant and a witness of that which both you have seen (of Me *NO) of the things in which then I will appear to you,
Ikabheje nnjinushe nnjime kwa makongono genu, pabha njikunkoposhela nkupinga nintende ntumishi jwangu na nkukong'ondela jwa indu imwibhweni na indu ishininanguye.
17 delivering you out from the people and (from *no) the Gentiles, to whom (I myself *N+KO) am sending you
Shinintapule kubhandunji bhenu Bhaishilaeli na kubhandunji bha ilambo ina bhunguntuma kwaajendelanga.
18 to open eyes of them, that (to turn *NK+o) from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, [that] to receive they forgiveness of sins and [an] inheritance among those sanctified by faith which [is] in Me myself.
Mwaunukulanje meyo gabhonji nkupinga bhashokangane nnubhindu bhajinjilangane nshilangaya, bhalekanje kuntumishila Lishetani bhaatendebhushilanje a Nnungu, nkupinga bhaleshelelwanje yambi yabhonji na bhabhanganje munkumbi gwa bhandunji bhaagulwenje na a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya ngulupalila nne.’
19 So then, O king Agrippa, not I was disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“Kwa nneyo, mmwe a mpalume Agilipa, nne nangagakana gene gunigabhweni gakopweshe kunnungugo.
20 but to those in Damascus first (both *no) also in Jerusalem (into *k) all both the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles (I was declaring *N+kO) to repent and to turn to God worthy of repentance works doing.
Ikabhe gundandwibhe kulunguya kubhandunji bha ku Dameshiki na kubhandunji bha ku Yelushalemu na nshilambo showe sha ku Yudea na kubhandunji bha ilambo ina. Nilikwaakwiyanga bhaatendebhushilanje a Nnungu na bhalangulanje kwa itendi kuti bhaipetilenje.
21 On account of these things me (the *k) Jews having seized (being *n) in the temple they were attempting to kill.
Kwa lyene ligongolyo Bhayaudi gubhangamwilenje nili nniekalu gubhalinjilenje kumulaga.
22 Help therefore having obtained (from *N+kO) God unto day this I have stood (bearing witness *N+kO) to small both and to great, no [thing] other saying than what both the prophets said was about to happen and Moses,
Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhanyangutile, kwa nneyo mpaka lelo juno ngunaajima nilikong'ondela kubhandunji bhakulungwanji na bhashoko. Ingutaya nne nngabha ina, ikabhe ibhatashiyenje ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na a Musha kuti shiikoposhele,
23 that would suffer the Christ, as first through resurrection from [the] dead light He is about to preach (to both *no) our people and to the Gentiles.
kuti a Kilishitu bhashinkupinjikwa bhapotekwe na kubha bha ndandubho kuyuka kukopoka kubhawilenje, nkupinga bhalunguye kuti nnaino shilangaya shaagombolwa bhandunji, shinakwaalangashiyanga bhandu bhowe, Bhayaudi na bhandunji bha ilambo ina.”
24 These things now when he is presenting a defense Festus in a loud voice (said; *N+kO) You are insane Paul! The great of you learning to insanity turns [you]!
A Pauli bhakaishileje penepo nkuibheleketela, a Peshito gubhabhashite kwa utiya, “A Pauli! Nshikola shalubha! Kushoma kwenu kwa punda, kunakumpuganya lunda!”
25 But (Paul; *no) Not I am insane says most excellent Festus, but of truth and sobriety declarations I utter.
Ikabheje a Pauli gubhajangwile, “Mmakulungwa a Peshito nne nangali shalubha. Ingubheleketa ino ni ya kweli na ya lunda.
26 Understands for concerning these things the king to whom also using boldness I speak; Hiding for him any of these things not I am persuaded no [thing]; not for is in a corner done of these things.
Agano malobhe gano mwe mmakulungwa nngamanyi, kwa nneyo nangali bhoga kummalanjila. Pabha genega gamanyishe kwenu mmwe, gangali ng'iyo.
27 Believe you, King Agrippa, in the prophets? I know that you believe.
Mmakulungwa Agilipa, bhuli nnikulupalila ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bha bhukala? Nimumanyi kuti nnikwaakulupalilanga.”
28 Then Agrippa to Paul (was saying: *k) Within so little [time] me you [seek to] persuade a Christian (to become! *N+kO)
Agilipa gubhaajangwile a Pauli, “Punkuganishiya kashokope nnei shindende nne kubha Nkilishitu?”
29 And Paul (said; *k) I would wish may God both in a little and in (much *N+kO) not only you but also all those hearing me this day to become such as also I myself am except chains these.
A Pauli gubhaajangwile, “Ngunakwaajuga a Nnungu kuti ibhe kwa malobhe gashokope eu gamagwinji, nngabha mmwe jikape, ikabhe na bhandunji bhowe bhaambilikananga nne lelo, ibhe nnaino eu pakaabhe, bhabhanganje malinga nne, ikabheje nngabha na mindondolo jino.”
30 (and these things when was speaking he *K) rose up (then *no) the king and the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them;
Penepo bhakulungwa Agilipa na liwali na a Bhenike na bhowenji bhatemingenenje pepala bhala, gubhajiminji.
31 and having withdrawn they were speaking to one another saying that No [thing] of death or of chains worthy (any *NO) is doing man this.
Bhakajabhulanganeje, gubhabhalanjilenenje, “Aju munduju shakwapi shatendile shaapinjikwa kubhulagwa wala kutabhwa.”
32 Agrippa then to Festus was saying; to have been released was able man this, only unless he had appealed to Caesar.
Na bhalabho Agilipa gubhaabhalanjile a Peshito, “Aju munduju gwangali pinga malobhe gakwe gakamaliywe kwa a Kaishali, akagopwelwe.”
