Masengo 24
1 Pagapite moŵa nsano, che Anania Jŵambopesi Jwankulu pamo ni achachekulu ŵampepe ni mundu jwa malajisyo ga Chiloma liina lyakwe che Telitulo ŵatuluchile ku Kaisalia. Ni ŵajawile kwa che Felikisi jula ni ŵansalile yanayose iŵammechetelaga che Paolo.
And after five days Ananias the high priest with certain elders, and a certain orator Tertyllus, came down, who appeared before the governor against Paul.
2 Che Felikisi ŵammilasile che Paolo ni che Telitulo ŵatandite kwaŵechetela achitiji. “Alakwe ambuje che Felikisi, ntulongwesye yambone ni uweji tukutama kwa chitendewele katema kose ni kulinganya kwa indu kukupanganyikwa kwa upoche wa ŵandu ŵetu.
And he having been called, Tertyllus began to accuse him, saying,
3 Tukwitichisya yelei mu kusengwa moŵa gose ni kuntogolela kwannope alakwe papalipose.
Receiving great peace through thee, and prosperity accruing to this nation through thy wisdom, we receive with all gratitude, both always, and everywhere, O most noble Felix.
4 Nambo pangansakalisya nnope, ngunchondelela ntupililile ni kutupilikanila itukuŵecheta.
But in order that I may not weary you excessively, I exhort you to hear us patiently according to your clemency.
5 Tukumanyilila kuti mundu ju ali jwakogoya nnope. Atandisye utindiganyo mwa Ŵayahudi papalipose pachilambo pose ni sooni ali jwankulu jwa mpingo wa chidini wa Ŵanasaleti.
For having found this man pestilential, and stirring up seditions to all the Jews who are throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Ni sooni ŵalingaga kujisakasya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, noweji twankamwile. Twasachile kwalamula ni malajisyo getu twachinsyene.
who also endeavored to pollute the temple: whom we indeed arrested,
7 Nambo che Lusia jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja, ŵaiche ni kunjigala mmakono mwetu kwa machili.
8 Ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵakwaŵechetela wo aichanje kukwenu, nomwe mwasyene chinkombole kwauchilichisya ni kwimanyilila uchenene indu itukwaŵechetela.”
with whom you yourself, having made inquiry, are able to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him.
9 Ŵayahudi wose nombe ŵajitichisye chiŵaŵechete che Telitulo kuti chili chisyene.
And the Jews were consenting, saying, Truly these things are so.
10 Nipele jwankulu jwa chilambo jula ŵangolochesye nkono che Paolo kuti aŵechete. Che Paolo ni ŵatite, “Ngusangalala nnope kulichenjela paujo penu pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti alakwe ndi jwakulamula jwa ŵandu ŵetu kwa yaka yejinji.
And Paul responded, the governor beckoning to him to speak; Knowing you to be a judge to this nation from many years, I cheerfully apologize as to the things concerning myself:
11 Pakuŵa alakwe mwasyene nkumanyilila kuti nganigapunde moŵa kumi na mbili chitandile panajawile kukupopela ku Yelusalemu.
you being able to know, that there are not more than twelve days to me since I came up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 Ŵayahudi nganasimana une njianganganaga ni mundu jwalijose. Nganasimana une njitindiganyaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pane mmajumba gao ga kupopelela atamuno palipose mmusi mo.
Neither did they find me in the temple disputing with any one, or causing an excitement of the multitude, neither in the synagogues, nor throughout the city:
13 Sooni ŵanyaŵa ngaakombola kunsalila alakwe usyene wa yakumechetela une sambano yo.
neither are they able to prove before you the things which they are now accusing me.
14 Chingwitichisya paujo penu chili chimo, uneji ngwapopelela Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu, njilikuyaga alila litala lyaakuliŵilanga ŵanyawo kuti lili lya unami. Ngukulupilila yanayose yailembekwe mu itabu ya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.
But I confess this to you, that according to the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers, believing all things which have been written in the law and in the prophets:
15 Uneji ngwete chilolelo kwa Akunnungu mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakulolela, kuti chikupagwe kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana.
having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is going to be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
16 Nipele moŵa gose ngulinga nningwa wangu uŵe wambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwa ŵandu.
In this I also exercise, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17 “Panatemi yaka yejinji kwakutalika ko, nausile ku Yelusalemu kuti naaichisye ŵandu ŵa chilambo changu yakwakamuchisya kwa ligongo lya ŵakulaga ni kukutaga mbopesi.
And after many years I came to do alms and offerings to my race;
18 Panaliji nkutenda yeleyo ni paŵasimene une pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ndili masile kuliswejesya. Nganiupagwa mpingo wa ŵandu natamuno utindiganyo.
in which they found me having been purified in the temple, not with rabble, nor with an uproar; and were certain Jews from Asia,
19 Nambo ŵapali Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaŵatyochele ku Asia, ŵanyawo ni ŵaŵaŵajilwe kuŵa paujo penu ni kuumechetela une iŵaga akwete chakuumechetela.
whom it behooves to be present before me, and accuse me, if they should have anything against me.
20 Pane achinsyene ŵa asale chileŵo chiŵachisimene kukwangu panaliji pa Nkungulu wao wekulu,
Or let them tell what injustice they found, while I was standing before the sanhedrim,
21 ikaŵe yankati liloŵe limo peli linaŵechete panajimi paujo pao kuti, ‘Ngulamulikwa lelo jino pakuŵa ngukulupilila kuti ŵawile chasyuswe.’”
except concerning this one voice, which I cried out standing in their midst, that concerning the resurrection of the dead I am judged before you this day.
22 Nambo che Felikisi nsyene ŵaliji nkulimanyilila uchenene litala lyo, ŵaunichile ligambo lila ni kwasalila, “Pataiche che Lusia jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jo, chilamule magambo genu.”
And Felix having learned more thoroughly the things concerning the way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch may come down, I will diagnose the things appertaining to you:
23 Ni jwankulu jula ŵalamwile anjigale che Paolo ni kwalindilila, nambo aŵe ni uhulu kanandi ni akasaalekasya achambusangagwe kwapa yaikwasoŵa.
having commanded the centurion to keep him, and let him have liberty, and prohibit no one of his friends from ministering unto him.
24 Pagapite moŵa gampepe, ŵaiche che Felikisi pamo ni che Dulusila ŵankwawo juŵaliji Myahudi. Ŵalamwile kuti aŵilanjikwe che Paolo ni ŵampilikanilaga achiŵechetaga yankati kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito.
And after certain day, Felix with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, coming, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith which is towards Christ Jesus.
25 Nambo paŵatandite che Paolo kuŵecheta yankati indu yaikwatenda ŵandu aŵe ŵambone ni ungapundanganya ni lyuŵa Akunnungu lichiŵalamule ŵandu wose, che Felikisi ŵajogwepe ni ŵatite, “Sano njauleje, chinammilanje sooni napataga lipesa.”
And he reasoning concerning righteousness and temperance and the coming judgment, Felix, being alarmed, responded, Go thy way for this time; and having received an opportunity, I will call for thee:
26 Katema ko che Felikisi ŵalolelaga kuti chapegwe mbiya ni che Paolo. Ligongo lyo ŵapundile kwaŵilanga sooni ni sooni kunguluka nawo.
at the same time also hoping that money will be given to him by Paul; therefore indeed the more frequently sending for him, he conversed with him.
27 Payapite yaka iŵili, che Polikio Festo ŵaliji chilongola pamalo pa che Felikisi juŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo. Pakuŵa che Felikisi ŵasachile kwanonyelesya Ŵayahudi ŵalesile che Paolo mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa mula.
But two years having passed away Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor: and Felix, wishing to confer on the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.
