Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea.
Vuu ufesto ainghile mukhilungha khila watmile ifigono fidatu pwakhaluta khu kaisali akhafika khu yelusalemu.
2 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,
Untwa umbaha uva va yahudi undwanchiwa vakhang'elikhila inongwa iya pavuli khwa festo, pwu vakhanchova vakholehencha nchoninamakha khwa festo.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.
Vakhandoova ufesto nikhisa khu mamenyu agha pavuli ukhuta amwielange khu yelusalemu ukhuva vinogwa ukhumbuuda upavuli munjiela.
4 Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly.
U Festo akhavavula akhata upavuli akhungiwe mukaisari, nukhuta navope ayivuya khukhukwa imbieve.
5 Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
Anchovile “ulwakhuva, vala aviwesya, ukhuluta ukwa nufwe. inave khukhile ikhinu ikhivivi khumunu uyuu, mlondiwa ukhung'iega.”
6 And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Vuvatamile ifighono nane nukhulutila, akavuya ukaisari. ikhighono ikyankongile akhatama pakhighoda ikyavuhieghi nukhulamula ukhuta vandete upavuli khumwene.
7 And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;
Avile afikhe avayahudi ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu vakhima pawipi, pwu vakhanchova imbombo inongw inchieluteilile inchakhumbikha mbuhiegi vvuvivi nchimanyile.
8 while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cæsar, have I sinned at all.
Upavuli akhabela akhanchova, sanchakhulitawa ilya vayahudi, sanchakesari, nivombile imbivi.'
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Ulwakhuva ufesto anogwagwa ukhuta avoneeke inonu kuvayahudi, pwu akhamwanda upavuli akhata, nawigwa ukhuluta kuyelusalemu khuhiegiwa nune khumbombo inchi?
10 But Paul said, I am standing before Cæsar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
Upavuli akhanda akhanchova, “nikwiema pavulongolo pakhigoda ikyavuhieghi ikya kaisari upwupilondiwa une ukhuhighiwa. sanievakhosehinche avayahudi nduvulumanyile.
11 If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
Inave nielininongwa pwu ienghave nivombile nilondiwa ukhuhigiwa ukhufwa, sanibela ukhufwa. ulwakhuva uvuhieghi wa veine khulyune vusikhuli, asikhuli umunu uviwesya unkhunglielikakhuvene. nikhundova ukaisali.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Cæsar: unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
Ufesto wa nchovile navahiegi akhamula, “vukhundova ukaisali, uyuwiluta khwa kaisari.”
13 Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cæsarea, and saluted Festus.
Vufilutile ifigoono, untwa uaglipa nu belnike vakhincha kukaisalia, ukhugeendela ufesto.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Vuvatamile apo ifigono fingi, ufesto akhahilikha inongwa ya pavuli khu ntwa, akhata, “umunu yuoma vakhandekhile apha pha feliki ndumunu uvakhungiwe.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him.
Upwunikale khuyelusalemu avantwa avavaha na avaghogholo avakivu vayahudi vakhaleta inongwa incha munu ouyu khulyune, navene pwuvaliekhuvuncha ukhuhigiwa khumuuyu umuvahigiele.
16 To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him.
Une nikhavamula nikhata salulaghilelo ulya valoma ukhung'umya umunu vusapanogilele ukhung'umya.
17 When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Pwu vavile vinchile apa pupaninie, saniekhawesye ukhupulikiela, apange ikhigono ikhikhankongile nikhatama pakhigoda ikyavuhiegi nukhulamula ukhuta umunu uywa vagheighe mughati.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;
Unsiekhi avansitakhagha vuviemile nukhunchova, nikhasaga nikhata nchisikhuli inongwa imbaha inchakungliegha nchincho valetiele inchakhung'ega umunu uyu.
19 but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Puvakava, nukhubenchana numwene khulwiedikho ulwavene ulwa yesu uviafwile, hange upavuli akhavavula ukhuta mwumi.
20 And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.
Niekhale ninisisilile ukhunchinghahiencha ienongwa ieyi, nikhambuncha iengave ayiluta khu yelusalemu khuhiegiwa khunongwa inchi.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Cæsar.
Upavuli vuielangiwa ukhuva vambikhe pavuloleili vuvipulikhila uvulamunchi wa ntwa.
22 And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.
Uaglipa akhanchova nu Festo “nikhanogilwa ukhumpulihiencha umunu uyu” ufesto akanchova, akhata “khilavo uyuvukhumulihincha”.
23 So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
pwu intondo, uaglipa nu belnike vakhincha nuluhekhelo lwingi; vakhafika khuliboma ilyavavaha avasikali avaligoha, na vanu avanyamakha pakhiluga. nu ufesto wahuminche ululagielo, ulwakhundeta upavuli khuvene.
24 And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Ufesto akhanchova, “untwa uaglipa, na vanu voni vavo pwuvale apa pwupaninie nufwe, mukhumbona umunu uyu; ululundamano lwoni ulwa vayahudi ulya khu yelusalemu napa vanogile ukhuta nivatange, na vene pwu vakhatoncha ilimenyu ukhuta umunu uyu vakhufwa.
25 But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
nikhavona sakhavombe khinu ikyakhunanga ukhuta nifwe; ulwakhuva amwilangi untwa, nikhalamwile ukhumbika khumwene.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.
Nilivuvule khitu ikyakwandika khuntwa. ulwakhuva une niendetile khulyuve uve, vintwa viegbipa, ukhuva nive nikhinu ikyakhusimba khunongwa ieyi.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.
Ulwakhuva nilola nivona sakhulikhinu ikyakhuhilika unkungwa walivuvule inchakhung'iega ukhuhiegiwa.
