Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Zvino Fesitasi wakati asvika padunhu iro, shure kwemazuva matatu akakwira kuJerusarema achibva Kesariya.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Zvino mupristi mukuru nevakuru veVaJudha vakamhan'arira Pauro kwaari, vakamukumbirisa,
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
vachikumbira nyasha dzinopikisana naye, kuti amudanire kuJerusarema, vakavandira kuti vamuuraye panzira.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Asi Fesitasi wakapindura, kuti Pauro wakachengetwa paKesariya, uye kuti iye amene wakange okurumidza kuendako.
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.
Akati: Naizvozvo avo vanokwanisa pakati penyu ngavaburuke neni; kana pane chisina kururama kumurume uyu, ngaamupe mhosva.
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.
Wakati agara pakati pavo mazuva anopfuura gumi, wakaburukira Kesariya; chifume agara pachigaro chekutonga akaraira kuti Pauro auiswe.
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,
Zvino wakati asvika, VaJudha vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vakamira vakamukomba, vachiuisa mhosva zhinji uye dzinorema pana Pauro, dzavakange vasingagoni kusimbisa,
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.
iye achizvidavirira akati: Kumurairo weVaJudha, kana kutembere, kana kuna Kesari handina kutadza chinhu.
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?
Asi Fesitasi achida kufadza VaJudha, wakapindura Pauro akati: Unoda here kukwira kuJerusarema, unotongwako pamusoro pezvinhu izvi pamberi pangu?
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.
Asi Pauro akati: Ndimire pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaKesari, pandinofanira kutongwa; kuVaJudha handina kuita zvisakarurama, sezvamunozivisisa imwiwo.
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.
Nokuti kana ndakatadza uye ndakaita chinhu chakafanira rufu, handirambi kufa; asi kana pasina chinhu chezvinhu zvavanondipira mhosva ivo, hakuna munhu anogona kundikumikidza kwavari pachena. Ndinoikwidza kuna Kesari.
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Ipapo Fesitasi ataurirana nedare remakurukota, akapindura akati: Waikwidza kuna Kesari? Kuna Kesari uchaenda.
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Zvino mamwe mazuva akati apfuura, mambo Agripa naBhenike vakasvika kuKesariya kuzokwazisa Fesitasi.
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,
Vakati vagarako mazuva mazhinji, Fesitasi akarondedzera zviri maererano naPauro kuna mambo, achiti: Kune umwe murume wakasiiwa naFerikisi ari musungwa,
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.
wandakati pandakange ndiri kuJerusarema, vapristi vakuru nevakuru veVaJudha vakamumhan'arira, vachikumbira mutongo unopokana naye.
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.
Vandakapindura, kuti haisi tsika yeVaRoma kukumikidza pachena chero munhu kurufu, uyo anopiwa mhosva asati ambotarisana nevanomupa mhosva, akagamuchira mukana wekuzvipindurira maererano nemhosva.
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.
Naizvozvo vakati vaungana pano, pasina kunonoka, nezuva raitevera ndakagara pachigaro chekutonga, ndikaraira kuti murume auiswe.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Vamhan'ari vakamusimukira vakasamupa mhosva yezvandaifungira ini,
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
asi vaiva nezvimwe zvavaimupikisa maererano nechitendero chavo, uye zveumwe Jesu wakange afa, Pauro waaiti mupenyu.
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.
Zvino ini zvandakange ndisina chokwadzi maererano negakava rakadai, ndakati anoda kuenda kuJerusasrema here, anotongwa ikoko pamusoro pezvinhu izvi.
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.
Pauro wakati aikwidza kuti achengeterwe mutongo wamambo mukuru, ndakaraira kuti achengetwe, kusvikira ndichimutumira kuna Kesari.
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Agripa ndokuti kuna Fesitasi: Neni ndinoda kunzwa munhu uyu. Iye akati: Mangwana muchamunzwa.
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.
Naizvozvo chifume, Agripa wakati asvika naBhenike, vachionekera kwazvo, vakapinda mumba mekutambira mhosva, nevatungamiriri vezvuru, nevarume vakuru veguta, Fesitasi araira, vakauya naPauro.
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.
Zvino Fesitasi akati: Mambo Agripa, nevarume vese vari pano nesu, munoona uyu, chaunga chese cheVaJudha wachakandikumbira zvese paJerusarema nepano, vachidanidzira kuti haafaniri kuramba achirarama.
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.
Asi ini ndakati ndawana kuti haana kuita chinhu chakafanira rufu, uye kuti iye pachake waikwidza kuna mambo mukuru, ndagura kumutumira.
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.
Asi handina chinhu chakasimba chandinganyorera ishe pamusoro pake. Naizvozvo ndauya naye pamberi penyu, uye zvikuru pamberi penyu, mambo Agripa, kuti mamuongorora, ndingava nechandinganyora.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Nokuti ndinoona zvisina musoro kutuma musungwa, pasina kutaridzwawo mhosva dzakanangana naye.
