Acts 24
1 Five days later Ananias the high priest arrived with some of the Jewish leaders, and with a lawyer called Tertullus. They presented formal charges against Paul to the governor.
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 was summoned, Tertullus began making his case against him. He said, “Your Excellency Governor Felix, we have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and as a result of your wise judgment reforms have been enacted for the benefit of the nation.
O den yini Polo, ke Tetusa cili ki maadi ki tabi o ki yedi:
3 All of us throughout the country are so very grateful to you for this.
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 bore you, please be so kind as to give us your attention for a short while.
Mii go bua ki pugini mi maama ki coagi a. N mia ha han cengi ti u yogunu waamu bebe.
5 We discovered that this man is a real pest, stirring up rebellions among Jews all over the world, a ringleader of the Nazarene sect.
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 He tried to defile the Temple, so we arrested 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 interrogating him yourself you will discover the truth of our accusations.”
Fini aba baa fidi ki buali o ki bandi tin pia leni ya maama kuli ya tie moamoani.
9 The Jews joined in, saying that this was all 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 The Governor motioned for Paul to respond. “Recognizing you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense,” Paul began.
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 easily verify that I arrived in Jerusalem to worship just twelve days ago.
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 Nobody found me arguing in the Temple with anyone, or inciting people to riot in any synagogue or anywhere 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 accusations against me.
Bi kan fidi ki ba yaa seedi n baa doagidi ke ban maadi npo ya maama a kani moala tie moamoani.
14 But I will admit this to you: I serve the God of our fathers following the beliefs of the Way, which they call a heretical sect. I believe everything the law teaches and what is written in the books of 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 I have the same hope in God that they do, believing that there will be a resurrection of the good 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 Consequently I try to make sure I always have a clear conscience before God and everyone.
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 Having been away for a few years I returned to bring some money to help the poor and to give offerings to God.
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 That's what they found me doing in the Temple—completing the ceremony of purification. There was no crowd and no disturbance.
Min den tieni lani, yaa Jufinba n ñani Asi nni den laa nni U Tienu diegu nni. N den wali ki hanbi nba.
19 But some Jews from the province of Asia were there, who should be present here before you today to bring their 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 here explain themselves what crime they found me guilty of when I stood before the council,
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 except for the time when I shouted out to them, ‘I am on trial before you today because of my belief in the resurrection of the dead.’”
Li yaa ki tie min den kpaani bi siiga ki yedi: Yi ja leni nni dinla ti buudi kelima bi tinkpiba fiima yaapo.
22 Felix who was well-informed about the Way then adjourned the trial. “When Lysias the commander comes I will make my decision regarding your case,” he said.
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 in custody but to allow him some measure of freedom and to let Paul's friends care for him without interference.
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 Some days later Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about trusting 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 He discussed with them about living right, self-control, and the coming judgment. Felix became alarmed and told Paul, “You can go now, and I'll send for you when I get the chance.”
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 Hoping that Paul would give him a bribe, Felix often sent for Paul 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 Two years passed and Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. To stay in favor with the Jews, 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.
