Acts 24
1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
Ze yakilaa mahiku a taano, uAnania kuhani nu mukulu, ang'wi a anyampala nu muligitya ung'wi nuitangwaa Tertulo, akalongola pang'wanso. Antu awa aletile usemelwa kutula Paulo kung'wa gavana.
2 And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
uPaulo naza wimikile ntongeela ang'wa gavana, uTertulo akandya kumusemela nu kuligitya kung'wa gavana, “ku nsoko ako kukete ulyuuku ukulu; nu ku muloto nuako wiletaa upiluki uziza mi ihi nilitu;
3 We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
uugwa ku ilumbi lihi kisingiilya kila i kintu nuitumaa, Milamu mukulu Feliki.
4 But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
Kuiti ndeke ku ukatalya ikilo, ku inena untegeelye makani masheenyu ku uaiilyi nuako.
5 We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Ku ndogoelyo kamulijaa muntu uyu munya lugida, hangi ukusasha iAyahudi ihi kupiluka mi ihi. Hangi ingi lukolongo nua mazindaalo a Anazorayo. (Komaniilya; Ipatyo nila makani a lukiili ulu 24; 6,
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
Ni hangi ai ugemeeye kuli ikila itekeelo kibudu itigwa kamuamba' umutili mu mbugulu ni nziza nia kali). (Komaniilya; U lukiili ulu
7 But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
Lisiasi, afisa, ai uzile nu kumuhola ku ngulu mu mikono itu, umutili mu mbugulu ni nziza nia ukilisigwa nua kali).
8 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Anga umukolye uPaulo kutula makani aya, ukuhuma ga nukimanyisa ingi kintu kii kumusemee.”
9 And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so.
Ayahudi ni enso akamusemela uPaulo, azeligitya kina aya makani aza atulaa atai.
10 Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak: ) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself.
uLiwali nai wakamunyansuila u mukono uPaulo waligitye, uPaulo ai usukiiye, “Ningile kina ku myaka idu watuilee wi mulamuli nua ingu uwu, hangi nkete ulowa kitambuilya mukola kitalako.
11 For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem:
Uhumile ki ikilya kulu kuulu kina akili kukila mahiku ikumi na abiili ikilo puma naza nankie kulongola kipolya ku Yerusalemu.
12 And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Hangi naza anihangile mi itekeelo, shanga aza nikungumile nu muntu wihi, hangi shanga aza nitumile anga minyomo mi anza, ang'wi mu matekeelo ang'wi mukati a kisali;
13 Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
hangi ang'wi shanga ahumile kuika kulu kuulu kitalako u usemelwa nia ku usemela kitalane.
14 But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets:
Ila kulapa ili kitalako, nia kina ku nzila iyo naiza akitanga i mazindaalo, ku nzila yiyo yiiyo ku mutumikila Itunda nua a tata itu. Unene ingi ni muhuiili ku ihi nakoli mi ilagiilyo nu ukilisigwa nua anyakidagu.
15 Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
Nkete ugimya wuwo wuuwo kung'wa Itunda naza ga nao nienso au lindiie, kupembya ku wiuki nua ashi, ku ihi anya tai ane hangi ni agila i tai ane ga;
16 And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.
nu ku ili, kituma i milimo iti ntule ni isigo nigila i kinkwaatya ntongeela ang'wa Itunda ni ntongeela a antu kukiila makani ihi.
17 Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.
Itungili ze yakilaa myaka idu nzile kuleta uaiilya ku ingu nuane nu uaiilya nua mpia.
18 In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Nai nitumile iti, Ayahudi kituunga nia ku Asia akanihanga mukati a sherehe nai a kielya mukati itekeelo, bila idale nila antu ang'wi minyomo.
19 But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:
Antu awa naza atakiwe kutula amoli ntongeela ako itungili iti hangi aligitye iko niakikete migulya ane anga ize akete lukani lihi.
20 Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,
Ang'wi antu awa akola nia ligitye ingi utumuli kii naza awihengile kitalane naza nimikile ntongeela i anza nila Ayahudi;
21 Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.
kwaala ku nsoko a kinu king'wi naza nikiligitilye ku luli naza nimikile pakati ao, “ingi kunsoko a wiuki nua ashi unyenye mukunamula.”
22 And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.
uFeliki ai watulaa wapinduwee iziza kutula i nzila, hangi akalidilya i anza. Akaligitya, “Lisia mukomoli nui kiza pihi kupuma ku Yerusalemu nikapumya ulamuli ku usemelwa nuanyu.”
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.
Iti gwa akamulagiilya u akida wamusunje uPaulo, ila watule ni lyoma hangi waleke kutula ukoli ga nu muntu nua kuagilya i ahumba uya niakwe aleke kumuaiilya ang'wi kumiumba umbila
24 And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
Ze yakilaa mahiku kituunga, uFeliki akasuka nu Drusila musungu nuakwe nai watulaa Muyahudi, akalagiilya antu kumitanga uPaulo nu kutegeelya puma kitalakwe nkani nia uhuiili mukati ang'wa Kristo uYesu.
25 And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
Ila uPaulo nai wakatula ukitambulya nu ng'wenso kutula tai ane, kutula ni ngele nu ulamuli nuikapembya, uFeliki akalija woa akasukiilya, “longola kuli ku itungili, ila anga ndije itungo hangi, nikakitanga.”
26 Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
Itungo lilo liilo, ai usumbiiye kina uPaulo ukuminkiilya mpia ku lulo ai umitangile nkua ingiiza akalingitya nu ng'wenso.
27 But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Ila myaka ibiili nai akiile, uPorkio Festo akatula Liwali ze yakilaa uFeliki, ila uFeliki ai uloiwe kielya ku Ayahudi, iti gwa akamuleka uPaulo pihi a usunja.
