Acts 24
1 Then, after five days, the high priest Ananias came down with some of the elders and a certain Tertullus, a speaker. And they went to the governor against Paul.
Gakapiteje mobha nng'ano, Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila a Anania gubhaelelenje kukopoka ku Kaishalia na bhanangulungwa bhananji na nkubheleketa jumo lina lyakwe Tetulo. Gubhaajendelenje bhakulungwa bha shilambo bhala gubhaalugulenje ga a Pauli.
2 And having summoned Paul, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: “Most excellent Felix, since we have much peace through you, and many things may be corrected by your providence,
A Pauli gubhashemilwe na bhakulungwa a Pelikishi, a Tetulo gubhatandwibhe kwaalugula bhalinkuti. “Mmakulungwa a Pelikishi, kwa longoya kwenu ukoto, ulele unalonjeya na nnapanganya ya mmbone kubhandu bhetu.
3 we acknowledge this, always and everywhere, with acts of thanksgiving for everything.
Bhai, tunakuliposhela lyene lilobheli kila mmbali na kwa mobha gowe kwa kwiinonyela akuno tulipunda kuntendela eja.
4 But lest I speak at too great a length, I beg you, by your clemency, to listen to us briefly.
Ikabheje, ngunantotoye kwa kubheleketeya, tunakunnjuga ntupilikanishiye kwa uguja gwenu malobhe getu.
5 We have found this man to be pestilent, to be inciting seditions among all the Jews in the entire world, and to be the author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Tushing'amula kuti aju munduju jwa jogoya kwa kaje. Jwalakwe anakumbuya nnjasha munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kila mmbali pa shilambolyo na kabhili ni kalongolele nkulu jwa shikundi sha dini sha Bhanashaleti.
6 And he has even been attempting to violate the temple. And having apprehended him, we wanted him to be judged according to our law.
Na kabhili ashinkulinga kulitukana liekalu, gutunkamwile.”
7 But Lysias, the tribune, overwhelming us with great violence, snatched him away from our hands,
Ikabheje a Lushiani bhakulungwa bha manjola gubhaishe kutupokonyola kwa mashili ga punda mmakono getu.
8 ordering his accusers to come to you. From them, you yourself will be able, by judging about all these things, to understand the reason that we accuse him.”
Kungai gubhaalajilenje bhakunnugulanga jwene munduju bhajiyangane kungwenu mmwe. Monaga mpingaga mummuye mmayene shimumanye kuti yowe itukunnugulai ya kweli.
9 And then the Jews interjected, saying that these things were so.
Na bhalabhonji Bhayaudi gubhatajilenje shionde kuti malobhe gowe ga kweli.
10 Then, since the governor had motioned for him to speak, Paul responded: “Knowing that you have been the judge over this nation for many years, I will give an explanation of myself with an honest soul.
Bhai, bhakulungwa bha shilambo bhakaalanguleje nkono nkupinga bhabhelekete, a Pauli gubhashite, “Pabha nimumanyi kuti mmwe nshibha mmaukumula bha sheshino shilambo shino kwa yaka yaigwinji inanonyela melekete namwene nkwitapula.
11 For, as you may realize, it has only been twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
Mmayene mmumanyi kuti gakanabhepita mobha likumi na gabhili tandubhila punyombweshe ku Yelushalemu kukwatindibhalila a Nnungu.
12 And they did not find me in the temple arguing with anyone, nor causing a rally of the people: neither in the synagogues, nor in the city.
Abha bhandunjibha bhangamonanga nne nniekalu ngulitaukangana naka mundu jojowe. Bhangang'imananga niliikwiya bhandu kutenda nnjasha nniekalu, wala mmashinagogi, wala popowe pala nshilambomo.
13 And they are not able to prove to you the things about which they now accuse me.
Na wala bhakaakombolanga kong'ondela ibhanugulangai.
14 But I confess this to you, that according to that sect, which they call a heresy, so do I serve my God and Father, believing all that is written in the Law and the Prophets,
Ikabhe shingukunda kungwenu mmwe ashino. Nne ngunakwaatindibhalila a Nnungu bha ashinakulubhetu kwa kulupalila mpanda gubhakuushemanga bhanganyanjibha kuti shikundi sha dini ja unami. Ngunakulupalila yowe ijandikwe mwiitabhu ya shalia ja a Musha na itabhu ya ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
15 having a hope in God, which these others themselves also expect, that there will be a future resurrection of the just and the unjust.
Nne ngunakwaakulupalila a Nnungu, na malinga bhanganyibha bhakwetenje ngulupai jojo, ja kuti bhanguja na bhaalebhanga, shibhayukanje.
16 And in this, I myself always strive to have a conscience that is lacking in any offense toward God and toward men.
Kwa nneyo mobha gowe ngunakwiobhelesheya kutenda kila shingukombola sha uguja kwa a Nnungu na ku bhandunji.
17 Then, after many years, I went to my nation, bringing alms and offerings and vows,
“Ngatameje kwataliya kwa yaka yaigwinji, gumbite ku Yelushalemu ngaajangutilanje bhashilambo ajangunji na ngashoye mbepei.
18 through which I obtained purification in the temple: neither with a crowd, nor with a commotion.
Gubhang'imenenje nniekalu ngulitenda genego, nguli niikonjeleye kwa a Nnungu. Lukapaaliji lugwinjili lwa bhandu wala ya nnjasha.
19 But certain Jews out of Asia are the ones who should have appeared before you to accuse me, if they have anything against me.
Ikabheje bhapalinji Bhayaudi bhananji bhakopokengene ku Ashia, bhanganyabho ni bhapinjikwangaga kubha apano bhanugulanje monaga shipali shoshowe sha nugula kwenu mmwe.
20 Or let these ones here say if they have found in me any iniquity, while standing before the council.
Eu, ashaayene pebha bhalugulanje shinebhile nne shibhashibhweninji punajimi pa lukumbi lwabhonji,
21 For while standing among them, I spoke out solely about this one matter: about the resurrection of the dead. It is about this that I am being judged today by you.”
ikabhe ngajimeje pakati jabhonji ga bheleketa shindu shimo, ‘Nnang'ukumulanga lelo juno ga ligongo lya kulupalila kuti bhawilenje shibhayuywanje!’”
22 Then Felix, after having ascertained much knowledge about this Way, kept them waiting, by saying, “When Lysias the tribune has arrived, I will give you a hearing.”
Penepo a Pelikishi pabha bhajimanyi ukoto ngani ja gwene mpanda gula, gubhaunishile malobhe gala bhalinkuti, “Shimaliye malobhe genunji pushibhaishe bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo a Lishiashi.”
23 And he ordered a centurion to guard him, and to take rest, and not to prohibit any of his own from ministering to him.
Kungai gubhannajile nkulungwa jwa manjola abhabhishe a Pauli muulinda, ikabheje guna bhanaaibhilile kukopoka palanga na ashaabhwiga ajabhonji wala bhanalimbiywanje kwaapa ibhapinga.
24 Then, after some days, Felix, arriving with his wife Drusilla who was a Jew, called for Paul and listened to him about the faith that is in Christ Jesus.
Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, a Pelikishi gubhaishe na akongobhabho a Dulushila bhaaliji Bhayaudi. Gubhalajile a Pauli bhashemwe, gubhaapilikanishiye bhalibheleketa ngani ja kwaakulupalila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
25 And after he discoursed about justice and chastity, and about the future judgment, Felix was trembling, and he responded: “For now, go, but remain under guard. Then, at an opportune time, I will summon you.”
Ikabheje a Pauli bhakatandubheje kubheleketa ga uguja na gangakwebhela indu na kuti shilijiye ika lyubha lya ukumu, a Pelikishi gubhajogwepe, gubhashite, “Nnaino nnjende, mbataga malanga shininsheme.”
26 He was also hoping that money might be given to him by Paul, and because of this, he frequently summoned him and spoke with him.
Na kabhili pubhaganishiyaga kuti shibhapegwe ela na a Pauli. Kwa nneyo gubhapundile kwashemashema a Pauli kuukunguluka nabho.
27 Then, when two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus. And since Felix wanted to show particular favor to the Jews, he left Paul behind as a prisoner.
Ikapiteje yaka ibhili, a Poshiashi Peshito gubhatolile shitengu sha upalume gwa shilambo. Na nkupinga kuikonjeleya ku Bhayaudi, gubhaaleshile a Pauli bhali bhatabhilwepe.
