Sura ya 22
1 “'Bhalongo bha dadijhangu, mupelekisiajhi utetezi bhwa nene bhwanibetakubhomba henu kwa muenga.”
2 Makutano bho bhap'eliki Paulo ilongela nabhu kwa kiebrania, bhakagudama. Akajobha,
3 “Nene ne myahudi, nihogoliki mji bhwa Tarso lieneo lya Kilikia, ila nakabhili elimu katika mji obho, pamagolo pa Gamalieli. Namanyisibhu kul'engana ni njela sahihi sya sheria sya bhadadijhitu. Nene nijhenibidii jha K'yara, kama muenga mwebhoha kyamujhe lelu.
4 Nabhatesisi kwa njela ejhe hadi kufwa; nabhakhongili bhagosi ni bhadala ni kubhasopa mu ligereza.
5 Hata kuhani mbaha ni bhaseya bhoha bhibhwesya kupisya ushahidi kujha napokili barua kuhoma kwa bhene kwandabha jha bhalongobhangu bhabhajhele Dameski, kwanene kusafiri kulota okhu. Jhajhele nibhaletayi bhanu Yerusalemu kwa njela ili bhakongibhwayi ni kutobhibhwa.
6 Jhatokili pala bho nisafiri nikaribila Dameski, majira gha pamusi ghafla nuru mbaha jhikatokela kumbinguni jhikajhanda kuniangasya.
7 Nikabina pasi ni kupeleka sauti jhikanijobhela, 'Sauli, Sauli kwandayakiki ukaniudhi?'
8 Najibili, 'bhebhe wa niani, Bwana?' Akanijobhela, 'Nene na Yesu Mnazareti, ambajhe bhebhe ukaniudhi.'
9 Bhala bhabhajhele pamonga ni nene bhajhibhwene nuru, ila bhapeliki lepi sauti jha jhola jhaalongeleghe ni nene.
10 Nikajobha, 'Niketakiki, Bwana?' akanijobhela, jhemayi na ujhingilayi Dameski; okhu wibeta kujobhibhwa kila khenu kya wilondeka kubhomba.'
11 Nabhwesilepi kulola kwandabha jha muangaza bhwa nuru jhela, ndipo nikalota Dameski kwa kulongosibhwa ni mabhoko gha bhala bha bhajhe ni nene.
12 Okhu nikabhonana ni munu jhaakutibhweghe Anania, ajhele munu jhaakamili sheria ni mwenye kuheshimika mbele jha bhayahudi bhoha bhabhatamili okhu.
13 Akahida kwa nene, akajhema palongolo pa nene, ni kujobha, 'Ndongobhangu Sauli, ubhwesiajhi kulola.' Kwa muda bholabhola nikabhwesya kulola ni kumbona.
14 Akajobha, 'K'yara ghwa dadijhitu akuchaguili bhebhe ubhwesyajhi kumanya mapenzi gha muene, kumbona jhola mwenye haki, ni kupeleka sauti jha jhihomela mu kinywa kya muene.
15 Kwandabha wibetakujha shahidi kwa muene kwa bhanu bhoha juu jha ughabhwene ni kup'eleka.
16 Basi henu kwandayikiki wilenda? Jhumukayi, ubatisibhwayi, ukasukayi dhambi sya jhobhi wakati ukalikuta lihina lya jhobhi.'
17 Baada jha kukerebhuka Yerusalemu, na bho nisali mugati mu hekalu, jhikatokela kujha napelibhu maono.
18 Nikambona akanijobhela, 'Hima na ubhokayi Yerusalemu manyata, kwandabha bhibetalepi kujhedekela ushuhuda bhwa jhobhi kuhusu nene.'
19 Nikajobha, 'Bwana, bhabhu bhene bhamanyili nabhafungili mu ligereza ni kubhatobha bhala bhabhakuaminili mu khila lisinagogi.
20 Ni damu jha Stefano shahidi ghwa jhobhi bho jhijhitiki, Nene kabhele najhele nijhemili karibu ni kujhedekela na najhele nilenda nghobho sya bhala bhabhan'komili.
21 Lakini akanijobhela, 'Lotayi, kwandabha nene nibeta kulaghisya ulotayi patali kwa bhanu bha mataifa.”
22 Bhanu bhakanduhusu kulongela habari jha lilobhi e'le. Lakini baadaye bhakakwesya sauti ni kujobha, “mbosiajhi munu ojho mu nchi: Kwandabha sahihi aishiayi.”
23 Bho bhikwesya sauti, ni kutagha maguanda gha bhene ni kusopa malifu kunani,
24 Jemedari mbaha akaamuru Paulo aletibhwayi ngomeni. Akaamuru akotibhwayi khoni itobhibhwa mijeledi, ili muene amanyayi kwandabha jhakiki bhampigileghe makelele namna jhela.
25 Hata bho bhan'kongili mighojhi, Paulo akan'jobhela jhola akida jha ajhemili pamonga naku, “Je! ndo haki kwa muenga kun'tobha munu jha ajhele Mrumi na akona kuhukumibhwa?”
26 Yola akida bho apeliki malobhi agha akalota kwa jemedari mbaha ni kun'jobhela, akajobha, “Wilonda kubhomba kiki? kwa maana munu ojho ndo Mrumi.”
27 Jemedari mbaha akahida ni kun'jobhela, “Nijobhelayi, je bhebhe ndo raia ghwa Rumi?” Paulo akajobha, “Ena.”
28 Jemedari akan'jibu, “Kwa kupetela kiasi kibhaha kya hela ndipo nakabhili uraia.” Lakini Paulo akan'jobhela, “'Nene ndo Mrumi wa kuhogoleka.”
29 Basi bhala bhabhajhetayari kulota kun'kota bhakabhoka ni kundeka wakati bhobhuobhu. Ni jemedari ni muene akatila, bho amanyili kujha Paulo ndo Mrumi, ni kwandabha an'kongili.
30 Ligono lyalyafwatili, jemedari mbaha alondeghe kumanya ukweli kuhusu mashtaka gha bhayahudi dhidi jha Paulo. Efyo akambopolela fifungu fya muene akaamuru bhakuu bha makuhani ni baraza lyoha bhabhonanayi. Akandeta Paulo pasi, ni kumbeka pagati pa bhene.
