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.
Mu fighono fihano, u Anania u n'tenkesi um'baha, avaghogholo vamo nu njovaji jumo juno itambulua Tertulo, vakaluta palapala. Avaanhu vala vantwalile amakole kange kwa Paulo ughwa Gavana.
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,
U Paulo ye imile pavulongolo pa gavana, u Tertulo akatengula kukumuhigha na kujova kwa gavana, “Ulwakuva tuli nulutengano uluvaha; namumbonekelo sako sileta amaghendelelo mannono mulikaja litu;
3 We acknowledge it wholy, and in all places most noble Felix, with all thankes,
kange nulusungu lwooni tukwupila ikiinu kyoni kino ghu vomba, vuhungile vwa mwoghopua Feliki.
4 But that I be not tedious vnto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest heare vs of thy courtesie a fewe wordes.
Looli naningakugasie kyongo, nikukupelepesia umulike amasio amadebe nu vukola vwako.
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:
Ulwakuva tum'patile umuunhu uju umbivi ikuvapelea ava Yahudi vooni vagaluke mu iisi, kange mulongosi ghwa kipuugha kya Nazorayo.
6 And hath gone about to pollute the Temple: therefore wee tooke him, and woulde haue iudged him according to our Lawe:
Kange ukaghele kuponia inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila uvulamafu pe tukan'kola, namweule munakala inofo isa pa kali.
7 But the chiefe captaine Lysias came vpon vs, and with great violence tooke him out of our handes,
Lisiasi, um'baha akisa na pikun'tola mu ngufu sa mavoko ghiiti, namwule mu nakala innofu isa malembe agha kali.
8 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest (if thou wilt inquire) know all these things whereof we accuse him.
Ungam'posie u Paulo vwimila ghwa masio agha, kange lunoghile kufuala ikinu kiki kino tumuhighile.”
9 And the Iewes likewise affirmed, saying that it was so.
Ava Yahudi voope vakamuhigha u Paulo, vijova kuuti amasio agha ghakale gha kyang'haani.
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,
U n'sikali ye agholwisie uluvoko kuuti u Paulo ajove, u Paulo akamula, “Nikagula kuuti amaka minga ulimulamuli ghwa kisina iki, nilinulukelo kukwolela june kulyuve.
11 Seeing that thou mayest knowe, that there are but twelue dayes since I came vp to worship in Hierusalem.
Uvaghile pikulutang'ania kuuti nafikilile ifighono kukila ifighono fijigho na fivili kuhuma pano nikatoghile kuluta kukufunya ku Yerusalemu.
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.
Vakaati vabwene munyumba inyimike ijakufunyila, nanikakaning'ine nu muunhu nambe jumo, nanikavombile uvugaluli mu kipugha, nambe munyumba isa kufunyila nambe mulikaja;
13 Neither can they proue the things, whereof they now accuse me.
nambe navanoghile kusimilisia kulyuve amasitaka ghano vikusitaka vwimila une.
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,
Kange ni kuvitika, kuuti musila jila jino vikemela muli sehebu, musila jijio nikim'bombela u Nguluve ughwa va Nhaata viitu. Une nilin'kola mughoni ghano ghali mundaghilo na mumalembe agha vaviili.
15 And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead, which they themselues looke for also, shalbe both of iust and vniust.
Nili nu lukangasio lulalula kwa Nguluve juno nambe vala na vene vighulila, kukwisa kuvusyuke uvwa vafue kuvooni ava kyang'ani nambe navano navalivwakyang'ani;
16 And herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towarde God, and toward men.
na kuiili, ni vomba imbombo ulwakuuti nive nuluvelo ulusita n'kole pa maaso gha Nguluve na pavulongolo pa vaanhu kukilila agha ghooni.
17 Now after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation and offerings.
Lino mu maka minga nisile ku twala ulutangilo mu kisina kyango nu luvelo ulwa ndalama.
18 At what time, certaine Iewes of Asia founde mee purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Ye nivombile ndiki, ava Yahudi avange vakamwene mun'kate mu kikulukulu ikya kuvalasia mun'kate mu nyumba inyimike, nambe kipugha kya vaanhu kisila lunjughanjugha.
19 Who ought to haue bene present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought against me.
Avaanhu ava lunoghile kuuva pavulongolo palyuve linolino vajove kila kino valinakyo vwimila vwango ndavule pano valinilisio lyelyoni.
20 Or let these themselues say, if they haue found any vniust thing in mee, while I stoode in the Council,
Kange avaanhu ava vavuo vajove u n'kole ghuliku ghuno vaghwaghile kulyune ye nimile pavulongolo pa vuhighi uva Kiyahudi;
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.
nambe vwimila vwa kinu kimo kino nikajovile nhi lisio ye nimile pakate nakati pavanave, 'Ulwakuva uvusyuke vwa vafue umue mukunihigha.”
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.
U Feliki akavulilue vunofu vwimila isila, akakileka ikipugha. Akaati, “Lisia um'baha ghwa kipugha pano ikwisa kuhuma ku Yerusalemu ni humia uvulamuli mu makole ghiinu.”
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.
Pe pano akamulaghila u akida amulolelaghe u Paulo, kange ave nhi nafasi nambe napeangavisaghe umuunhu ughwa kuvakana avakana avamanyani vamwene nava ngatangaghe nambe kukumughendela.
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.
Ye ifighonpo fimo, u Feliki akagomoka nu Drusila un'dala juno alyale Muyahudi, akamwomola kukun'kemela u Paulo akapulikisia imola kuhuma kwa mwene ija lwitiko mun'kate mwa Yesu Kilisite.
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.
Looli u Paulo ye ikana nu mwene vwimila uvwa kyang'haani, kuuti mughelaghe nuvuhighi vuno vulikwisa, u Feliki lukamwagha uludwesi akamula, “luta kuvutali lino, looli ningaghuvone un'siki kange, nikukukemela.”
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.
Un'siki ghughughuo, akahuvilile kuuti u Paulo ikum'pela indalama pa uluo akan'kemela nakalina akajova nu mwene.
27 When two yeeres were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix roume: and Felix willing to get fauour of the Iewes, left Paul bound.
Looli amaka ghavili ye ghakilile, u Porkio Festo akava Ntua akahala pa Feliki akalondagha kukupyanilisia kuva Yahudi, pa uluo pe akamuleka u Paulo pasi pavuloleli.
