Acts 24
1 Now after fiue dayes, Ananias the hie Priest came downe with the Elders, and with Tertullus a certaine oratour, which appeared before the Gouernour against Paul.
Sima na mikolo mitano, Ananiasi, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ayaki na Sezarea, elongo na ndambo ya bakambi mpe molobeli Tertile, mpo na kofunda Polo epai ya moyangeli.
2 And when he was called foorth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that we haue obtained great quietnesse through thee, and that many worthy things are done vnto this nation through thy prouidence,
Tango babengisaki Polo, Tertile akomaki kofunda ye liboso ya Felikisi na maloba oyo: — Tata moyangeli Felikisi, ezali mpo na yo nde tozali na kimia ya solo, mpe mpo na bwanya na yo nde mbongwana ya solo ekota kati na ekolo oyo.
3 We acknowledge it wholy, and in all places most noble Felix, with all thankes,
Tata moyangeli Felikisi, na bisika nyonso mpe na tango nyonso, tondimaka yango mpe totondaka yo mingi penza.
4 But that I be not tedious vnto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest heare vs of thy courtesie a fewe wordes.
Kasi, tolingi te kozwa yo tango molayi. Nabondeli yo: salela biso ngolu ya koyoka biso na mwa tango moke.
5 Certainely we haue found this man a pestilent fellowe, and a moouer of sedition among all the Iewes throughout the world, and a chiefe maintainer of the secte of the Nazarites:
Biso, tomoni ete mosala ya moto oyo ezali: kotia mobulu; azali kobimisa mobulu kati na Bayuda nyonso ya mokili mobimba. Azali mokambi ya lingomba moko ya bato ya Nazareti,
6 And hath gone about to pollute the Temple: therefore wee tooke him, and woulde haue iudged him according to our Lawe:
mpe amekaki kutu kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo, yango wana tokangaki ye. [Tozalaki na posa ya kosambisa ye kolanda Mobeko na biso,
7 But the chiefe captaine Lysias came vpon vs, and with great violence tooke him out of our handes,
kasi Lisiasi, mokonzi ya basoda, ayaki mpe abotolaki ye na maboko na biso na makasi.
8 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest (if thou wilt inquire) know all these things whereof we accuse him.
Apesaki bato oyo bafundaki ye mitindo ete baya epai na yo.] Soki yo moko otuni ye mituna, okososola ete makambo oyo tofundeli ye ezali ya solo.
9 And the Iewes likewise affirmed, saying that it was so.
Bayuda babetaki sete na makambo oyo bafundelaki ye.
10 Then Paul, after that the gouernour had beckened vnto him that hee shoulde speake, answered, I do the more gladly answere for my selfe, for as much as I knowe that thou hast bene of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation,
Tango moyangeli apesaki Polo nzela ya koloba, Polo azongisaki: — Nayebi solo ete ozali mosambisi ya ekolo oyo wuta mibu ebele. Boye, nazali na esengo ya kosamba liboso na yo.
11 Seeing that thou mayest knowe, that there are but twelue dayes since I came vp to worship in Hierusalem.
Yo moko okoki koluka koyeba malamu ete eleki nanu mikolo zomi na mibale te wuta nakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosambela Nzambe.
12 And they neither found mee in the Temple disputing with any man, neither making vproare among the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the citie.
Mpe bato oyo bafundi ngai batikala nanu kokuta ngai te nazali kotia tembe na moto to nazali kotindika bato ete batomboka, ezala kati na Tempelo to kati na bandako ya mayangani to mpe kati na engumba.
13 Neither can they proue the things, whereof they now accuse me.
Bakolonga mpe te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo oyo bafundeli ngai sik’oyo.
14 But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way (which they call heresie) so worship I the God of my fathers, beleeuing all things which are written in the Lawe and the Prophets,
Nzokande, nandimi ete nasalelaka Nzambe ya bakoko na biso, wana nazali kolanda Nzela oyo bango bazali kobenga « binzambe-nzambe. » Nandimaka nyonso oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko mpe kati na mikanda ya basakoli.
15 And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead, which they themselues looke for also, shalbe both of iust and vniust.
Boye ngai, ndenge moko na bango, nazalaka na elikya na Nzambe ete bato nyonso bakosekwa, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
16 And herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towarde God, and toward men.
Yango wana, ngai mpe nasalaka tango nyonso makasi mpo na kobatela motema na ngai peto, liboso ya Nzambe mpe liboso ya bato.
17 Now after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation and offerings.
Sima na ngai kosala mibu ebele na libanda ya Yelusalemi, nazongaki na mboka na ngai mpo na komemela bato bakelela ya ekolo na ngai lisungi, mpe mpo na kobonzela Nzambe makabo.
18 At what time, certaine Iewes of Asia founde mee purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Bakutaki ngai nasilisi komipetola kati na Tempelo; ezalaki na ebele ya bato te elongo na ngai, mobulu mpe te.
19 Who ought to haue bene present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought against me.
Kasi ezali ndambo ya Bayuda ya Azia, oyo bazalaki wana, nde basengelaki kotelema liboso na yo mpo na kofunda ngai, soki solo bazwaki ngai na likambo.
20 Or let these themselues say, if they haue found any vniust thing in mee, while I stoode in the Council,
To mpe lisusu, tika ete bato oyo bazali awa baloba bango moko mabe oyo bazwaki ngai tango nasambaki liboso ya Likita-Monene,
21 Except it be for this one voyce, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day.
longola kaka liloba oyo nabimisaki, wana natelemaki liboso na bango: « Bozali kosambisa ngai lelo mpo ete nandimaka ete bakufi bakosekwa! »
22 Nowe when Felix heard these things, he deferred them, and said, When I shall more perfectly know the things which concerne this way, by the comming of Lysias the chiefe Captaine, I will decise your matter.
Felikisi, oyo ayebaki malamu makambo oyo etali Nzela, azongisaki bango mpe alobaki: — Nakoyekola malamu likambo na bino tango mokonzi ya basoda, Lisiasi, akoya.
23 Then hee commanded a Centurion to keepe Paul, and that he should haue ease, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister vnto him, or to come vnto him.
Boye, apesaki mitindo epai ya mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko ete abatela Polo lokola mokangami kati na boloko, kasi atikela ye mwa bonsomi mpe apesa bandeko na ye nzela mpo ete basunga ye.
24 And after certaine dayes, came Felix with his wife Drusilla, which was a Iewesse, and he called foorth Paul, and heard him of the faith in Christ.
Sima na mwa mikolo, Felikisi ayaki elongo na mwasi na ye, Drusiye, oyo azalaki Moyuda; abengisaki Polo mpe akomaki koyoka ye na tina na makambo oyo etali kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
25 And as he disputed of righteousnes and temperance, and of the iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, and when I haue conuenient time, I will call for thee.
Kasi, wana Polo akomaki koloba na tina na bosembo, komikanga mpe kosambisama oyo ezali koya, Felikisi ayokaki somo mpe alobaki na ye: — Ekoki mpo na sik’oyo! Okoki kolongwa. Soki nazwi lisusu tango, nakobengisa yo.
26 Hee hoped also that money shoulde haue bene giuen him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore hee sent for him the oftner, and communed with him.
Felikisi azalaki kobengisa ye mbala na mbala mpo na kosolola na ye, na elikya ete Polo akopesa ye kanyaka.
27 When two yeeres were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix roume: and Felix willing to get fauour of the Iewes, left Paul bound.
Sima na mibu mibale, Porsiusi Festisi akomaki moyangeli na esika ya Felikisi oyo, mpo na kosepelisa Bayuda, atikaki Polo kati na boloko.
