Acts 24
1 Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
Dana muu n den pendi, bi kobadicianba bado Ananiasa den yegi leni bi nikpeliba leni maliiga yudaano yendo ke bi yi o Tetusa ki jiidi ki cua Sesale. Bi den maadi Gufeneeli ban pia ya maama leni Polo.
2 When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
O den yini Polo, ke Tetusa cili ki maadi ki tabi o ki yedi:
3 In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
Fini ti yudaano Felisi, tikuli ye leni mi yanduanma cain kelima a yaapo. Fini n teni ke ti diema lebidi ki hanbi. I kaani kuli leni i yogini kuli ti pala mani leni han tieni yaala yeni ke ti jaandi a likuli po hali boncianla.
4 But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
Mii go bua ki pugini mi maama ki coagi a. N mia ha han cengi ti u yogunu waamu bebe.
5 We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
Ti sua ke o naa joa tie nani u yianu, ki fiindi mi janjanma Jufinba siiga ban ye naankani kuli handuna nni. O tie Nasaleti yaaba jaanbuolu yudanba siiga yendo.
6 and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
O den moandi ki baa joagini U Tienu diegu ke ti cuo o. Ti den bua ki bu leni o nani ti yaa balimaama n bili maama.
Ama a minteela yudanciamo Lisiasa den tieni u paalu ki fie o ti nuu nni, ki yedi ke yaaba n pia mi maama leni o n cua a ya kani.
8 By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
Fini aba baa fidi ki buali o ki bandi tin pia leni ya maama kuli ya tie moamoani.
9 The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
Yaa Jufinba n den ye likani den saa Tetusa maama po i moamoani, ki yedi ke wan maadi Polo po yaala kuli tie yeni.
10 When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
Gufeneeli den yugidi o nuu ki puni Polo u sanu ke wan maadi, ki yedi: N bani ke a tie ti buolu bujialo yaa bina n yaba lane n pali mani ke n ye a nintuali ki baa maadi ki ga n yuli.
11 You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
Laa cie piiga n dana lie ke n den gedi Jelusalema ki baan kpiagi U Tienu. A ya bua a baa fidi ki buali ki bandi.
12 Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
Baa den la ke n nia leni niloba U Tienu diegu nni, yaaka ke n fiini ku niligu pala li balimaama bangina diena nni leni u dogu nni kaanuba kuli.
13 Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
Bi kan fidi ki ba yaa seedi n baa doagidi ke ban maadi npo ya maama a kani moala tie moamoani.
14 I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
Ama ban yini yaa jaanma jaabocaanu yeni, n tuo a nintuali ke n hoa ma ki jaandi ti yaajanba Tienu, ki go dugi yaala n diani li balimaama nni, leni bi saawalipuaba tila nni kuli po.
15 and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
N sugini nani bani yaaba n ye ne n sugini maama ke bi tinkpiba fiima ye, yaaba n tiegi leni yaaba n ki tiegi kuli po.
16 In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
Lani n teni ke n moandi yogunu kuli ke n pali seedi n da bu leni nni kelima tagili ba po. U Tienu kani leni bi niba kani kuli.
17 After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
Min kaa den ye Jelusalema binaba, n den guani likani ki baa cuani mi todima n buolu yaaba po, ki pa U Tienu bu paabu.
18 At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
Min den tieni lani, yaa Jufinba n ñani Asi nni den laa nni U Tienu diegu nni. N den wali ki hanbi nba.
19 who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
Mii den taani niligu, mii den tieni fuugu mo. Jufinba ya pia npo liba, li bi pundi bani n ya ye ne ki maadi laa maama a nintuali.
20 Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
Lani yaaka li pundi yaaba n ye ne n waani ban laa ke n pia yaa tagili min den sedi bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani.
21 unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
Li yaa ki tie min den kpaani bi siiga ki yedi: Yi ja leni nni dinla ti buudi kelima bi tinkpiba fiima yaapo.
22 Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
Lani Felisi, yua n den bani Jesu sanhoadima maama bonhanla den sieni mi maama yeni hali dantoali, ki yedi Polo: A minteela yudanciamo Lisiasa ya cua n baa jia a maama.
23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
O den puogi minteela kobiga yudaano n ya guu Polo ki pa o mi yudiedima ki cedi o danlinba n ya kpendi o kani ki todi o.
24 After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
Danaba n den pendi Felisi den cua leni o pua Dusila, yua n tie Jufi. O den teni ke bi cuani Polo o kani ki cengi Polo n maadi opo li dandanli Jesu Kilisit nni n tie yaala.
25 As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
Ama Polo n den maadi mi teginma, li yukubili leni U Tienu buudi yaadi n baa cua ya maama fuuli yeni, ti jawaandi den cuo Felisi ke o yedi o: Moala po a baa fidi ki ña. N yaa go ti baa u yogunu n baa yini a.
26 At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
O den pia mi suginma ke Polo baa pa o i ligi. Lani yaapo, o den tuuni ke bi yi o yogunu boncianla ke o maadi leni o.
27 After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
Bina lie n den pendi ke li tie yeni, Felisi den baa o lebidu ke bi yi o Posiyusa Fesitusa. Nani Felisi n den bua ki mangi Jufinba pala yeni, o den ha Polo ke o baa ye li kadideli nni.
