Matendo ya Mitume 23:4-27

⁴Bhala bhabhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajobha, “Ivi naha ndo kya ukandigha kuhani mbaha ghwa K'yara?”

⁵Paulo akajobha, “bhalongobhangu, nene namanyilepi kujha ojho ndo kuhani mbaha. Kwa kujha jhilembibhu wibetalepi kulongela vibaya panani pa mtawala wa bhanu bha jhobhi.”

⁶Paulo bho abhuene jha kujha upande umonga bhwa baraza ni Masadukayo ni bhangi Mafarisayo, akakuesya sauti ni kujobha, “bhalongobhangu nene na Mfarisayo, mwana ghwa Mfarisayo. Kwa ndabha ejhu nitegemela kwa ujasiri ufufuo bhwa bhafu bhanihukumibhwa nabhu.”

⁷Bho aghajobhi agha, malumbano mabhaha ghatokili baina jha Mafarisayo ni Masadukayo, ni mkutano bhwagawanyiki.

⁸Kwani Masadukayo bhijobha ujhelepi ufufuo, malaika bhwala ijhelepi roho, ila Mafarisayo bhijobha agha ghoha ghajhele.

⁹Ghasia mbaha jhikatokela ni baadhi jha bhaandishi bhabhajhele lubhafu lwa Mafarisayo bhakajhema ni kujadili, bhakajobha, “tubhwelepi kyokyoh dhidi jha munu ojho. Bhuli kama roho au malaika alongili nabhu?”

¹⁰Wakati kuhomili hoja mbaha, mbaha ghwa majeshi atilili kujha Paulo ngaalalulibhu fipandi fipandi na bhene, hivyo akaamuru bhanajeshi bhaselelayi pasi ni kuntola kwa nghofu kuhoma kwa bhajumbe bha baraza, ni kundeta mu ngome.

¹¹Kiru kyakyafwatili Bwana ajhemili karibu ni muene ni kujobha, “Usitili, kwa ndabha unishuhudili katika Yerusalemu, hivyo kabhele wibetakupisya ushahidi ku Roma.”

¹²Bho kubhalele, baadhi jha Bhayahudi bhabhombi liagano ni kukuta laana panani pa bhene: bhajobhi kujha bhibetalepi kulya wala kunywa kyokyoha mpaka pabhibetakun'koma Paulo.

¹³Kwajhele ni bhanu zaidi jha arobaini ambabho bhabhombili njama ejhe.

¹⁴Bhakalota kwa bhabhaha bha makuhani ni bhaseya ni kujobha, “Tukibhekili twebhene mu laana mbaha, tusili kyokyoha mpaka patwibetakun'koma Paulo.

¹⁵Hivyo henu, baraza lin'jobhelayi jemedari mbaha andetayi kwa muenga, kana kwamba mwiamura kesi jha muene kwa usahihi. Kwa tete tujhe tayari kun'koma kabla jha kuhida apa.”

¹⁶Lakini muana wa dada jhake ni Paulo apeliki kujha kujhe ni njama, akalota akajhingila mugati mu ngome ni kun'jobhela Paulo.

¹⁷Paulo akan'kuta akida mmonga ni kujobha, “N'tolayi n'songolo ojho kwa jemedari; ndabha ajhe ni lilobhi lya kun'jobhela.”

¹⁸Basi akida akan'tola n'songolo jhola akandongosya kwa jemedari mbaha akan'jobhela, “Paulo jhola mfungwa anikutili alondeghe nikuletelayi n'songolo ojho kwa bhebhe. Ajhe ni lilobhi lya kujobhela.”

¹⁹Jemedali mbaha jhola akan'kamula kwa kun'kota, “Khenu gani wilonda kun'jobhela?”

²⁰Kijana jhola akajobha “Bhayahudi bhajobhene kukusoka undetayi Paulo kilabhu ku baraza ili kana kwamba bhilonda kukabha habari sya muene kwa usahihi nesu.

²¹Basi bhebhe usijhedekeli kwandabha bhanu zaidi jha arobaini bhakamvizila. Bhakikhongili kw laana, bhasili wala kunywa hadi pabhibetakun'koma. Hata henu bhajhe tayari, bhil'endela kibali kuhoma kwa bhebhe.”

²²Basi jhola jemedari mbaha akandeka n'songolo akilotelayi, baada jha kundaghisya, “usin'jobheli munu jhejhioha kujobha unijobhili agha.”

²³Akabhakuta maakida bhabhele akajobha bhatayarisiajhi askari mia mbili kulota Kaisaria ni askari bhakwela farasi sabini, ni bhabhajhe ni migoha mia mbili, mwibetakubhoka zamu jha tatu pakilu.

²⁴Akabhajobhela kubheka bhanyama tayari ambaye Paulo ibetakun'tumila ni kun'tola salama kwa Feliki Gavana.

²⁵Akajhendika barua kwa namna ejhe,

²⁶Klaudio Lisia kwa Liwali mtukufu Feliki, salamu.

²⁷Munu ojho akamuili kwa bhayahudi bhakajha karibu kun'koma, ndipo nikalota pamonga ni kikosi kya askari nikamwokola, bhonikabhili habari kujha muene raia ghwa kirumi.
