Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Baada jha magono mahanu, Anania kuhani mbaha, baadhi jha bhaseya ni n'jobhaji mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Tertulo, bhakalota pala. Bhanu abha bhaletili mashataka dhidi jha Paulo kwa Gavana.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
Paulo bho ajhemili palongolo pa gavana, Tertulo akajhanda kun'takila ni kujobha kwa gavana, “kwandabha jha bhebhe tujhe ni imani nibaha; ni kwa maono ghe jhobhi ghileta mageuzi manofu mu taifa lya jhoto;
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Basi kwa shukurani jhioha twipokela shukurani jhioha khila khenu kya wibhomba, Wasalam mheshimibhwa Feliki.
4 But that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Lakini nisikutondesi zaidi, nikusihi unipelekesiajhi malobhi madusu kwa fadhili jha jhobhi.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Kwandabha tun'kabhili munu ojho n'korofi, na isababisya bhayahudi bhoha kuasi pa dunia. Kabhele ndo ndongosi ghwa madhehebu gha Bhanazorayo. (Zingatilati: Sehemu jha malobhi gha n'sitari obhu 24: 6
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
Na kabhele ajaribu kulisoppa hekalu unajisi hivyo tukan'kamula, ujhelepi mu nakala sinofu sya muandi). (Zingatilayi: N'stari obho
Lisiasi, afisa, akahida na akan'tola kwa nghofu mu mabhoko gha tete, ujhelepi mu nakala sinofu sya majhandiku gha muandi).
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
Lekan'kotayi Paulo kuhusu mambo agha, hata wibetakusimanyisya ni khenu gani tun'takili.”
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Bhayahudi ni bhene bhakan'takila Paulo, bhakajobha kujha mambo agha gha bhukweli.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Liwali bho ampungili kibhoko ili Paulo alongelayi, Paulo ajibili, “Nimanyili kujha kwa miaka mingi ujhe ghwa mwamuzi ghwa taifa ele, na nijhe ni furaha kwijhelesya nejhoni kwa bhebhe.
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Wibhwesya kuhakikisya kujha ghapetilepi zaidi jha magono kumi na mbili tangia nikwelili kulota kuabudu Yerusalemu.
12 In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
Na bhobhanikolili mu hekalu, nabishenelepi ni munu jhejhioha, na nabhombi lepi fuju pa mkutano, wala ku masinagogi wala mugati mu mji;
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
na bhibhwesya lepi kuhakikisha kwa bhebhe mashitaka gha bhakanitakila dhidi jha nene.
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Ila nikiri e'le kwa bhebhe, jha kujha kwa njela jhela ambayo bhakajhikuta dhehebu, kwa njela jhejhu ejhu nikantumikila K'yara ghwa dadi jhitu. Nene ne mwaminifu kwa ghoha mu sheria ni maandikhu gha manabii.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Nijhe ni bhujasiri bholabhola kwa K'yara ambabho hata abhu nabhene bhakaulendela, kuhida kwa ufufuo kwa bhafu, kwa bhoha bhenye haki na bhabhabelikujha ni haki kabhele;
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
ni kwa e'le, nibhomba mbombo ili nijhelayi ni dhamiri jhajhibelikujha ni hatia mbele jha K'yara ni mbele jha bhanu kupetela mambo ghoha.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Henu baada jha miaka mingi nihidili kuleta msaada kwa taifa lya nene ni zawadi jha hela.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Bho nibhombi naha, Bhayahudi fulani bha Asia bhanikolili mugati mu sherehe jha utakaso mugati mu hekalu, bila likundi lya bhanu wala ghasia.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
Bhanu abha ambabho jhilondeka bhajhelayi mbele jha bhebhe henu apa na bhajobhayi khela kyabhajhenaku juu jha nene kama bhajhe ni lilobhi lyolyoha.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Au bhanu abha bhene na bhajobhayi likosa leleku lyabhalibhwene kwa nene bho nijhemili palongolo pa baraza lya kiyahudi;
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
Isipokujha kwa ndabha jha khenu kimonga kyanakijobhili kwa sauti bho nijhemili katikati jha bhene, 'kwandabha jha ufufuo bhwa bhafu muenga mukanihukumu.”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
Feliki ajhele ataarifibhu kinofu kuhusu njela, ni kubhuairisha mkutano. Akajobha, “Lisia jemedari paibeta kuhida pasi kuhoma Yerusalemu nibetakubisya maamuzi dhidi jha mashitaka gha muenga.”
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
Ndipo akaamuru akida andendayi Paulo, ili ajhelayi ni nafasi na sijhi munu wakubhabesya bharafiki bha muene bhasin'tangatili wala kun'gendela.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Baada jha magono kadhaa, Feliki akakerebhuka ni Drusila n'dala munu jha ajhe Myahudi, akalaghisya kun'kuta Paulo ni kupelekesya kuhomela kwa muene habari sya imani mugati mwa Kristu Yesu.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
Ila Paulo bho ajhele ijadiliana ni muene kuhusu haki kujha ni kiasi ni hukumu jhajhibeta kuhida, Feliki akakabha hofu akajibu, “lotayi patali kwa henu, ila nikakabhayi muda kabhele, nibetakukuta.”
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
Muda bhobhuobhu, ategemili kujha Paulo ibeta kumpela hela kwa hiyo ankutili mara simehele kulongela naku.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Ila miaka mibhele jhajhipetili, Porkio Festo akajha Liwali baada jha Feliki, ila Feliki alondeghe kwipendekesya kwa bhayahudi, efyo akandeka Paulo chini jha uangalizi.
