Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Mikolo misato sima na ye koya kati na etuka, Festisi alongwaki na Sezarea mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
epai wapi bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bakendeki kokutana na ye mpo na kofunda Polo. Babondelaki mingi Festisi
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
mpo ete asalela bango ngolu ya kotinda Polo na Yelusalemi, pamba te basalaki mabongisi ya kotiela ye motambo na nzela mpo na koboma ye.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Kasi Festisi azongiselaki bango: — Polo azali nanu kati na boloko, na Sezarea; mpe kala mingi te, nakozonga kuna.
5 Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
Tika ete tokende nzela moko na ndambo ya bakambi na bino, mpo ete, soki moto yango asalaki mabe, bafundela ye kuna.
6 Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Festisi asalaki mikolo pene mwambe to zomi elongo na bango, mpe azongaki na Sezarea. Mokolo oyo elandaki bozongi na ye, avandaki na esambiselo mpe apesaki mitindo ete bamemela ye Polo.
7 And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe,
Tango kaka Polo akomaki wana, Bayuda oyo bawutaki na Yelusalemi bazingelaki ye mpe bakomaki kofunda ye na tina na makambo mingi ya mabe makasi, oyo bango moko bazangaki kutu makoki mpo na kotalisa bosolo na yango.
8 Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
Polo asambaki boye: — Nasalaki mabe moko te, nabukaki ata mobeko moko te ya Bayuda to ya Tempelo to mpe ya Sezare.
9 Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee?
Kasi lokola Festisi alingaki kosepelisa Bayuda, atunaki Polo: — Boni, olingi kozonga na Yelusalemi mpe kosamba kuna liboso na ngai mpo na makambo oyo?
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Polo azongisaki: — Te, natelemi liboso ya esambiselo ya Sezare; ezali awa nde nasengeli kosamba. Yo moko oyebi malamu ete nasali Bayuda ata likambo moko te ya mabe.
11 For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar.
Soki nasali mabe to nasali likambo oyo ekoki komemela ngai etumbu ya kufa, nandimi kokufa. Kasi soki makambo oyo Bayuda bafundeli ngai ezali ya lokuta, moto moko te azali na makoki ya kokaba ngai na maboko na bango. Tika ete Sezare akata likambo na ngai!
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Sima na Festisi kokabola makanisi elongo na bapesi toli na ye, alobaki na Polo: — Lokola osengi kokende kosamba liboso ya Sezare, okokende solo kosamba liboso na ye.
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Sima na mwa mikolo, mokonzi Agripa elongo na Berenise bayaki na Sezarea mpo na kopesa Festisi mbote.
14 And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
Lokola balekisaki kuna mikolo mingi, Festisi ayebisaki mokonzi likambo ya Polo; alobaki: — Ezali awa na moto moko oyo Felikisi atikaki kati na boloko.
15 Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
Tango nakendeki na Yelusalemi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bayaki kofunda ye epai na ngai, mpe basengaki ete nakatela ye etumbu.
16 To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
Kasi nayebisaki bango ete bato ya Rome bazalaka na ezaleli te ya kokatela moto etumbu soki asambi nanu te na bato oyo bafundi ye, mpe soki azwi nanu nzela te ya kozongisa biyano na makambo oyo bafundeli ye.
17 Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
Tango bayaki awa, nalekisaki tango te; kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, navandaki na esambiselo mpe napesaki mitindo ete bamemela ngai moto yango.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Tango bato oyo bafundaki ye batelemaki mpo na koloba, balongaki te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo mabe oyo bafundelaki ye, ndenge ngai nazalaki kokanisela.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Batianaki tembe na tina na lolenge na bango ya kosambela, mpe na tina na moto moko oyo asila kokufa, moto oyo Polo azalaki koloba na tina na ye ete azali na bomoi; kombo ya moto yango ezalaki « Yesu. »
20 And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
Lokola nayebaki te ndenge nini nakoki kokata likambo ya lolenge oyo, natunaki ye soki alingi kokende na Yelusalemi mpo ete bakata likambo na ye kuna.
21 But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
Kasi Polo asengaki ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene. Boye, napesaki mitindo ete babatela ye kati na boloko kino tango nakotinda ye epai ya Sezare.
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Agripa alobaki na Festisi: — Nazali na posa ya koyoka moto wana, ngai moko. Festisi azongisaki: — Okoyoka ye lobi.
23 And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Agripa mpe Berenise bayaki na lokumu nyonso, mpe bakotaki na ndako oyo basambiselaka bato, elongo na bakonzi ya basoda mpe bakambi ya engumba. Na mitindo ya Festisi, bayaki na Polo.
24 And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
Festisi alobaki: — Mokonzi Agripa mpe bino nyonso oyo bozali elongo na biso awa, bozali komona moto oyo! Lisanga mobimba ya Bayuda bayaki kokutana na ngai na tina na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe awa kati na Sezarea, bazalaki koganga ete asengeli kokufa.
25 Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.
Nzokande, mpo na ngai, namonaki likambo moko te oyo ekokaki komemela ye etumbu ya kufa. Kasi lokola ye moko asengi ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene, ngai mpe nazwi mokano ya kotinda ye na Rome.
26 Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write.
Lokola nazali na likambo moko te ya malonga ya kokomela mokonzi monene na tina na ye, nayei na ye mpo ete asamba liboso na bino nyonso, mpe mingi-mingi liboso na yo, mokonzi Agripa, mpo ete nakoka kozwa likambo ya kokomela mokonzi monene, sima na biso kotuna ye mituna.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Pamba te namoni ete tina ezali te ya kotinda moto ya boloko na Rome, soki nalongi te kolimbola malamu likambo oyo bafundeli ye.
