Po akayugha ku ishu ilya pamwanya akati, “Mwe Bhayuuta bhanyiitu, une nee Mufalisaayi, nee mwana ghwa Mufalisaayi. Bhakuusitaaka une panu ku nongwa iya kuti indi nu lusuubhilo ukuti uChaala indiakabhashuushe abhafwe bhooshi nu kubha bhuumi soona.”
7 Bhwo uPaabhuli aamala ukuyugha amashu agho, ulukaani lukaanda ku Bhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi. Ku nongwa iyo, Ibhalaasa lyoshi likayabhanika.
8 Paapo aBhasandukaayi bhakwitikagha ukuti abhafwe bhataabhakashuuke, abhandumi abha Chaala bhataliipo, nu mbepo ataliipo, loole aBhafalisaayi bhakwitikagha shooshi isho.
9 Ku nongwa iya kuyabhanika ukwo, umuywegho ghukabha mukulu leka. Po abhamanyishi bhamu abha ndaghilo isha Moose bhaabho bhakabha Bhafalisaayi bhakiima, bhakashimikisha ku maka, bhakayugha bhakati, “Utwe tutaayaagha inongwa naayimo ukufuma ku mundu uyu! Lumo ghwi mbepo pamu ghwandumi ughwa Chaala ghwe yuuyo aayugha naghwe.”
10 Bhwo umuywegho ghwabha mukulu ngaani, usongo ughwa bhashikali akaanda ukwoghopa leka ukuti aBhafalisaayi na Bhasandukaayi indibhamunyaapulanie uPaabhuli. Po akabhalaghila abhashikali ukuti bhamutiishe ku maka uPaabhuli nu kubhuuka naghwe ku bhwikalo ubhwa bhashikali, bhoope bhakabhomba isa muumwo usongo ghwabho akabhalaghilila.
11 Mu kabhalilo aka pabhushiku, uMalafyale uYeesu akamubhonekela uPaabhuli, akiima papiipi naghwe, akamubhuula akati, “Ghwe Paabhuli, ikashanga! Isa muumwo ukabhabhuulagha abhandu abha mu Yelusaleemu muno inongwa shangu, bhubhuubhwo kulondighwa ubhabhuule na bhandu abha mu kaaya aka Looma.”
ABhayuuta bhakwitikana ukumughogha uPaabhuli
12 Bhwo bhwacha, aBhayuuta bhamu bhakiitikana pamupeene, bhakaloolika bhakati, “Tutaatulye pamu tutaatungʼwe ukufika paapo twamughogha uPaabhuli.”
13 Abhandu bhaabho bhakiitikana nu kuloolika ukumughogha uPaabhuli bhakabha amalongo manna (40) nu kwongelaapo.
14 Po bhakabhuuka ku bhosongo abha bhapuuti na ku bhosongo abha Bhayuuta, bhakabhabhuula bhakati, “Utwe twaloolika ukuti tutaatulye pamu tutaatungʼwe ukufika paapo twamughogha uPaabhuli.
15 Ku nongwa iyo, tukubhasuuma umwe pamupeene ni Ibhalaasa mutume indumi kwa songo ughwa bhashikali ukuti iise nu Paabhuli kukwinyu. Mwibhiike ungati mukulonda ukubhuushikisha akiisa inongwa yaake, loole utwe twiyaaliile ukumughogha uPaabhuli bhwo akaali nu kufika panu.”
16 Loole bhwo umwipwa ughwa Paabhuli aapulika inongwa isha kumughogha uPaabhuli, akabhuuka ku bhwikalo ubhwa bhashikali nu kumulingaania uPaabhuli inongwa shooshi isho.
17 Bhwo uPaabhuli aapulika inongwa isho, akamwitisha umulongoshi ughwa bhashikali yumo, akamubhuula akati, “Ingukusuuma umweghe umulumyana uyu nu kubhuuka naghwe kwa songo ughwa bhashikali bhooshi paapo ali ni nongwa shimo isha kumubhuula.”
18 Po umulongoshi yula akamwegha nu kubhuuka nu mulumyana yula kwa songo ughwa bhashikali. Bhwo bhaafika, umulongoshi yula akamubhuula usongo ughwa bhashikali akati, “Ghwe songo, umupinyighwa uPaabhuli yula aanyiitisha nu kuusuuma ukuti niise nu mulumyana uyu kukwako paapo ali ni nongwa shimo isha kukubhuula.”
19 Po usongo ughwa bhashikali yula akamukola akakono umulumyana yula, akabhuuka naghwe pabhushiifu, akamubhuusha akati, “Ghwe mulumyana, kali, nongwa shiki shiisho kulonda ukuumbuula?”
20 Umulumyana yula akamwamula akati, “Ghwe songo, aBhayuuta bhiitikanite ukuti bhakusuume ughwe ubhuuke nu Paabhuli ku Ibhalaasa lyabho ningeelo. Indibhakakubhuule ukuti bhakulonda ukubhuushikisha akiisa inongwa shaake.
21 Loole ughwe manye ukiitikanaghe nabho paapo aBhayuuta amalongo manna nu kwongelaapo indibhakamushighile uPaabhuli mu sila. Soona bhaloolikite kwa Chaala ukuti bhataabhalye pamu bhataabhangʼwe ukufika paapo bhaamughogha uPaabhuli. Abheene bhiiyaaliile ukubhomba ulwo, soona lwoshi ulu bhakukulindilila ughwe ukuti ubhiitikishe ukukongana na muumwo bhaakusuumila.”
22 Po usongo ughwa bhashikali yula akamwitikisha umwipwa ughwa Paabhuli ukuti atiileepo pala, loole akamulaghilila akati, “Manye umubhuulaghe umundu naayumo ukuti ghwambuula inongwa ishi.”
Usongo ughwa bhashikali akumutuma uPaabhuli
kwa songo ughwa chiisu uFelikisi
23 Po usongo ughwa bhashikali yula akabhiitisha abhalongoshi abha bhashikali bhabhili, akabhabhuula akati, “Mwe bhashikali umwe, itendekeshanga ukutiila panu mu sala iya bhutatu pabhushiku ukubhuuka ku kaaya aka Kayisaaliya. Mubhuuke na bhashikali imya shibhili (200) bhaabho indibhaghendaghe paase, abhashikali amalongo mahaano na mabhili (70) bhaabho indibhakwele pa falaasi na bhashikali imya shibhili (200) bhaabho indibhabhe ni ngwegho.
24 Soona mutendekeshe ni falaasi shiisho uPaabhuli indiakwele, mushindikile nu kumufikisha akiisa kwa songo ughwa chiisu uFelikisi.”
25 Po usongo ughwa bhashikali yula akamusimbila ukalata uFelikisi akati,
26 “Une nee Kilabhundiyo Lisiya, ingukulamuka ughwe ghwe mughindikighwa Felikisi.
27 “Naamutuma umundu uyu, uPaabhuli, kukwako ku nongwa iya kuti aBhayuuta bhamu bhaamukolite, bhaalondagha ukumughogha. Loole bhwo umundu yumo aambuula ukuti umundu uyu Mulooma, ingabhuuka na bhashikali bhangu nu kumupoka.
28 Ingalondagha ukumanya inongwa yiiyo aBhayuuta bhala bhakamusitaakilagha, po ingamwegha nu kubhuuka naghwe pandaashi pi ibhalaasa lyabho.
29 Po ingashaaghania ukuti bhakamusitaakagha ku nongwa iya kukaanikana isha ndaghilo shaabho. Loole uPaabhuli atakabha ni nongwa naayimo iya kuti bhamughoghe pamu bhamupinye.
30 Bhwo naapulika ukuti aBhayuuta bhamu bhatumwile ku bhushiifu ukumughogha umundu uyu, nakalinga naamutuma kukwako ukuti ulonge inongwa yaake. Soona naabhalaghila aBhayuuta bhooshi bhaabho bhakumusitaaka ukuti bhoope bhiise kukwako bhayughe inongwa yiiyo bhakumusitaakila umundu uyo.”
31 Po abhashikali bhakamwegha uPaabhuli isa muumwo usongo ghwabho akabhalaghilila, bhakabhuuka naghwe pabhushiku bhula bhula nu kufika naghwe mu kaaya aka Antipatili.
32 Bhwo bhwacha, abhashikali bhala bhakabhaleka abhashikali abhanine bhaabho bhakakwela pa falaasi ukuti bheendelelaghe ukubhuuka pamupeene nu Paabhuli, loole abheene bhakaghaluka ulwa paase ukubhuuka ku bhwikalo ubhwa bhashikali.
33 Bhwo abhashikali bhala bhaabho bhakamushindikilagha uPaabhuli bhaafika mu kaaya aka Kayisaaliya, bhakamupa ukalata uFelikisi nu kumubhiika uPaabhuli mu tukono twake, bhoope bhakaghaluka ukubhuuka ku Yelusaleemu.
34 Usongo yula akabhelenga ukalata yula. Bhwo aamala ukubhelenga, akamubhuusha uPaabhuli akati, “Ghwe mundu ughwe, kali, kufuma mu chiisu chiki?” UPaabhuli akamwamula akati, “Une ingufuma mu chiisu icha Kilikiya.”
35 Bhwo usongo yula aamanya ukuti uPaabhuli akufuma mu chiisu icha Kilikiya, akamubhuula uPaabhuli akati, “Linga bhiisa bhaabho bhakukusitaaka ughwe, indiimbulikishe inongwa yaako.” Po akabhalaghila abhashikali ukuti bhamulindililaghe uPaabhuli mu nyumba ingulu iya bhunyafyale yiiyo umalafyale uHelooti akasenga.
