Acts 24
1 And after five days came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor.
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.
2 And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, Seeing we enjoy great peace through thee, and that excellent measures are executed for this nation by thy forethought,
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.
3 we receive [it] always and everywhere, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Tukwitichisya yelei mu kusengwa moŵa gose ni kuntogolela kwannope alakwe papalipose.
4 But that I may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.
Nambo pangansakalisya nnope, ngunchondelela ntupililile ni kutupilikanila itukuŵecheta.
5 For finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans;
Tukumanyilila kuti mundu ju ali jwakogoya nnope. Atandisye utindiganyo mwa Ŵayahudi papalipose pachilambo pose ni sooni ali jwankulu jwa mpingo wa chidini wa Ŵanasaleti.
6 who also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, [and would have judged according to our law;
Ni sooni ŵalingaga kujisakasya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, noweji twankamwile. Twasachile kwalamula ni malajisyo getu twachinsyene.
7 but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took [him] away with great force out of our hands,
Nambo che Lusia jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja, ŵaiche ni kunjigala mmakono mwetu kwa machili.
8 having commanded his accusers to come to thee; ] of whom thou canst thyself, in examining [him], know the certainty of all these things of which we accuse him.
Ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵakwaŵechetela wo aichanje kukwenu, nomwe mwasyene chinkombole kwauchilichisya ni kwimanyilila uchenene indu itukwaŵechetela.”
9 And the Jews also joined in pressing the matter against [Paul], saying that these things were so.
Ŵayahudi wose nombe ŵajitichisye chiŵaŵechete che Telitulo kuti chili chisyene.
10 But Paul, the governor having beckoned to him to speak, answered, Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge to this nation, I answer readily as to the things which concern myself.
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.
11 As thou mayest know that there are not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem,
Pakuŵa alakwe mwasyene nkumanyilila kuti nganigapunde moŵa kumi na mbili chitandile panajawile kukupopela ku Yelusalemu.
12 and neither in the temple did they find me discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
Ŵayahudi nganasimana une njianganganaga ni mundu jwalijose. Nganasimana une njitindiganyaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pane mmajumba gao ga kupopelela atamuno palipose mmusi mo.
13 neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me.
Sooni ŵanyaŵa ngaakombola kunsalila alakwe usyene wa yakumechetela une sambano yo.
14 But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets;
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.
15 having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust.
Uneji ngwete chilolelo kwa Akunnungu mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakulolela, kuti chikupagwe kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana.
16 For this cause I also exercise [myself] to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.
Nipele moŵa gose ngulinga nningwa wangu uŵe wambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwa ŵandu.
17 And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.
“Panatemi yaka yejinji kwakutalika ko, nausile ku Yelusalemu kuti naaichisye ŵandu ŵa chilambo changu yakwakamuchisya kwa ligongo lya ŵakulaga ni kukutaga mbopesi.
18 Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was certain Jews from Asia,
Panaliji nkutenda yeleyo ni paŵasimene une pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ndili masile kuliswejesya. Nganiupagwa mpingo wa ŵandu natamuno utindiganyo.
19 who ought to appear before thee and accuse, if they have anything against me;
Nambo ŵapali Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaŵatyochele ku Asia, ŵanyawo ni ŵaŵaŵajilwe kuŵa paujo penu ni kuumechetela une iŵaga akwete chakuumechetela.
20 or let these themselves say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the council,
Pane achinsyene ŵa asale chileŵo chiŵachisimene kukwangu panaliji pa Nkungulu wao wekulu,
21 [other] than concerning this one voice which I cried standing amongst them: I am judged this day by you touching [the] resurrection of [the] dead.
ikaŵe yankati liloŵe limo peli linaŵechete panajimi paujo pao kuti, ‘Ngulamulikwa lelo jino pakuŵa ngukulupilila kuti ŵawile chasyuswe.’”
22 And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair;
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.”
23 ordering the centurion to keep him, and that he should have freedom, and to hinder none of his friends to minister to him.
Ni jwankulu jula ŵalamwile anjigale che Paolo ni kwalindilila, nambo aŵe ni uhulu kanandi ni akasaalekasya achambusangagwe kwapa yaikwasoŵa.
24 And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
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.
25 And as he reasoned concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee;
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.”
26 hoping at the same time that money would be given him by Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener and communed with him.
Katema ko che Felikisi ŵalolelaga kuti chapegwe mbiya ni che Paolo. Ligongo lyo ŵapundile kwaŵilanga sooni ni sooni kunguluka nawo.
27 But when two years were completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.
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.
