Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Pe u Festo ye ingile mukighavo ikio kange ye fifikile ifighono fitatu akaluta kuhuma ku Kaisaria hadi ku Yerusalemu.
2 And the chief priests and the chief of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him,
Un'tekesi um'baha nava Yahudi avamanyika vakaleta indeselo mwa Paulo kwa Festo, kange pe vakajovagha ni ngufu kwa Festo.
3 asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.
Pe vakan'sumile u Festo vukola ku molaisa Paulo apate kun'kemela ku Yerusalemu kuuti vam'bude musila.
4 Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.
Looli u Festo akamula kuut u Paulo akale n'kungua mu Kaisaria, na kuuti umwene jujuo igomoka ukuo ng'aning'ani.
5 Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, accuse him.
Akaati “mu uluo, vala vano vavaghile, vavaghile kuluta ukuo nusue. Ndavule kwekile ikiinu kivivi kwa muunhu ujuo lunoghile kuku n'sitaka.”
6 And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
Ye ikalile ifighono lekela lubale nambe kijigho, vakagomoka ku Kaisaria. Ikighono kino kikwisa akava nikitengo ikya vuhighi ku laghila u Paulo ise kwa mwene.
7 And when he was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove:
Ye afikile, ava Yahudi kuhuma ku Yerusalemu vakima pipi, vakahumia amasitaka aminga amagumu ghano naghanoghile ku hufia.
8 Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended [in] anything.
U Paulo akitangile na kujova, 'Kange nambe mulitavua ilya va Yahudi, nambe njimba ija kufunyila, nambe ku Kaisari, nivombile amavivi.'
9 But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?
Looli u Festo alyalondile kujipendelela kuva Yahudi, kange akamwamula u Paulo na kuuti, 'asi, ndeghulonda kuluta ku Yerusalemu na kuhughua nune vwimila vwa masio agha ukuo?'
10 But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
U Paulo akaati, 'nikwima pavulongolo pa kitango ikya vuhighi ikya Kaisari pano ninoghile kuhighua. Nanivahokile ava Yahudi, ndavule uve ulumanyile vunnofu
11 If then I have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
Kama nihokile ndavule nivombile kino kinoghile uvufue, nanikana kufua. Looli ndavule indeselo sivanave nakiinu, nakwale umuunhu juno anoghile kunisona kuvanave. nikun'suma u Kaisari.'
12 Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.
Ye akyale u Festo kujova navahighi akamula, “Ghukun'suma ukaisari; ghuluta ku Kaisari.”
13 And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.
Ye fikilile ifighono filingi, untua u Agripa nu Bernike vakafika ku Kaisari valyafumbilue pikumughendela u Festo.
14 And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,
Ye ikalile apuo mu fighono finga, u Festo akatwalile un'kole kwa Paulo u ntua; akaati, 'Umuunhu jumo vakamulekile apa nhu Feliki un'kungua.
15 concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment against him:
Ye nikale ku Yerusalemu u n'tekesi um'baha na vaghogholo vava Yahudi vakatwalile amasitaka kwa muunhu ujuo kulyune, voope vakaposia vwimila vwa vuhighi vwa mwene.
16 to whom I answered, It is not [the] custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge.
Ku uluo une nikavamula kuuti nalwigho lwa Roma kukumuhumia umuunhu kuvupendelelo pa uluo, unyan'kole anoghile kuva mwelevu nakukuvakong'ania ava sitaka va mwene pikun'tanga mu makole aghuo.
17 When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought:
Pa uluo ye visile palikimo apa, nanikanoghile kukuvaghula, looli ikighono kino kika vingilile nikikalile mu kitengo ikya vuhighi na kulaghila umuunhu uju isi mun'kate.
18 concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as I supposed;
Un'sika ava sitaka ye vimile na kukusitaka, nikasaghile kuuti nakweghale amasitaka amakome ghano ghisile kwa mwene.
19 but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.
Pa uluo, vakale ni ng'aning'ano simonga palikimo nu mwene vwimila vwa vitiki va vanave kange vwimila vya Yesu juno afwile, Looli u Paulo idaja kuuti mwumi.
20 And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?
Nilyale ni m'buvaghanisivue ndavule ku hungila ilisio iili, pe nikam'posia ndavule angalute ku Yerusalemu kuhighua vwimila vwa masio agha.
21 But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.
Looli u Paulo ye akemelilue avikilue pasi pa vuloleli vwimila vwa vulamusi vwa ntua, nikamulaghile avikue nambe nikutwale ku Kaisari.'
22 And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
U Agripa alyajovile nu Festo, “Nilonda kange kukum'pulikisia u muunhu uju.” “U Festo, akaati, “Pakilavo ghukum'pulikisia.”
23 On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.
Pa uluo pakilavo kila, u Agripa nu Bernike vakafika nifikulukulu finga; vakafika mu vukumbi nava vaha vakipugha, na vaanhu ava manyika ava mulikaja. Nu Festo ye ahumisie indaghilo, u Paulo akatwalua kuvanave.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [him] that he ought not to live any longer.
U Festo akaati, “Untua Agripa, na vaanhu vooni vano pevale apa palikimo nusue, mukum'bona umuunhu uju; mukisina kyooni kya va Yahudi ukuo ku Yerusalemu napa kange vilonda nivahighe, voope vakajeghela kulyune kuuti nangikalaghe.
25 But I, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided to send him;
Nilolile kuuti nakavombile lyelyoni lila lino linoghile uvufue; looli ulwakuva un'kemelile untua, nikalamuile kuku ntwala kuvanave.
26 concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, so that an examination having been gone into I may have something to write:
Looli nilivuvule ikiinu kyekyene ikya kulemba kwa Ntua. savuli ja ulu, nitwalile kulyuve, kange kulyuve juve, Ntua u Agripa, kwe kuuti nipate ikya kulemba vwimila vwa nkole.
27 for it seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.
Ulwakuva nivona kisita luvumbulilo pi kutwala un'kungua ye natunsonile isa kun'kungila.
