Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Fesitusi bu kakota mu zunga, bilumbu bitatu kaviokisa ku Yelusalemi bu kaba ku Sezale.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bapfumu bankaka zi Bayuda bayenda kumbata mu diambu di funda Polo.
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
Baleba Fesitusi mu diambu katumisa Polo ku Yelusalemi muingi banlekila mintambu mu nzila mu diambu bamvonda.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Vayi Fesitusi wuvutula: —Polo widi mu nloko ku Sezale bosi minu veka fioti fisiedi buna ndieka mvutuka 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.
buna diawu batu badi minsua mu beno bika benda yama. Enati diambu di mbimbi didi mu mutu beni, buna bika bamfunda!
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.
Bu kaviokisa nana voti dikumi di bilumbu kuidi bawu, wuyenda ku Sezale. Bosi mu lumbu kilanda, wuvuanda ku tilibinadu. Wuvana lutumu ti banata 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,
Polo bu katumbu tula, Bayuda baba ku Yelusalemi bamana kunzungidila ayi bamfunda mu mambu mawombo ayi ma tsisi; momo bawu veka bankambu baka busudikisila.
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 wukivovila nkanu bu katuba: —Ndisi vanga kadi diambu dimbimbi ko, ndisi vanga kadi diambu di mbimbi mu diambu di Mina mi Bayuda ko voti mu diambu di Nzo Nzambi ko voti mu diambu di ntinu Sezali ko!
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?
Fesitusi bu kazola monisa Bayuda khini, wuyuvula Polo ti: —Tidi kuenda ku Yelusalemi mu kuenda sambi va ntualꞌama mu diambu di mambu mama e?
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 wuvutula: —Minu ndidi va ntuala ntiliminadu Sezali, ayi vawu mfueti sambusulu. Ndisi vanga diambu di mbimbi kuidi Bayuda ko; ngeyo veka zebi buawu bumboti.
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.
Enati diambu di mbimbi ndivengi voti diambu ndivengi diodi ndilenda bakila thumbudulu yi lufua, buna ndikadi manga fua. Vayi enati mambu moso momo bamfundidi masi makiedika ko, buna kuisi ko mutu wulenda kundiekula mu mioko miawu. Diawu thidi kuenda sambi va ntuala Sezali.
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Fesitusi bu kamana wizana ayi batu ba lukutukunu lu minyadi wuvutula ti: —Bu tidi kuenda kuidi Sezali, buna weka kuenda kuidi Sezali.
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Ndambu bilumbu bu bivioka, ntinu Angilipa va kimosi ayi Belenisi bayiza ku Sezale mu kuiza vani Fesitusi 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,
Bilumbu biwombo bakadila kuna. Fesitusi wubaka diluaku di sudikisila mambu ma Polo kuidi ntinu: —Mutu wumosi widi mu nloko, babika kuidi Felikisi.
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.
Bu ndibedi ku Yelusalemi, bapfumu banganga Nzambi ayi bapfumu bankaka zi Bayuda bayiza kumfunda. Zilomba ti ndinzengila nkanu
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.
Vayi ndiba vutudila ti mu kikhulu ki basi Loma ti mutu kalendi zengolo nkanu ko enati kasi samba va ntuala mimfundi miandi ko; ayi kafueti tuama baka diluaku di kukitabila mu diambu di mambu momo bamfundidi.
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.
Buna bayiza vava, mu kambu viokisa thangu. Mu lumbu kilanda, ndivuanda ku ntiliminadu, buna ndituma batu batuala mutu beni.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Mimfundi bu mitelama, misia kumfundila mu diambu dimosi ko mu mambu mamo momo ndiyindula.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Vayi mambu ma dibundu diawu kuandi bamfundila ayi mambu beni madi mu mutu wumosi beta tedila Yesu, mutu wowo wufua vayi Polo keti tuba ti mutu widi moyo!
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.
Bu ndikambu zaba mambu mavanga mu diambu di mambu momo, bunandiyuvula mutu beni keni tidi kuenda ku Yelusalemi mu diambu di sambusu mu mambu momo.
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.
Vayi Polo wulomba mu kuenda sambi va ntuala ntinu wu Loma. Diawu ndivanina lutumu ti bantula mu nloko nate ndiela kumfidisa kuidi Sezali.
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Angilipa wukamba Fesitusi: —Minu mamvama thidi wa mutu beni. Fesitusi wumvutudila: —Wela kunwa mbazi.
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.
Mu lumbu kilanda, Angilipa ayi Belinisi, mu nzitusu wunnenibayizila, bakota muna vinga kieti sambusulu mambu, va kimosi ayi bapfumu zi masodi ayi batu ba luvalu ba divula. Mu lutumunu lu Fesitusi, banata 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.
Bosi Fesitusi wutuba: —A ntinu Angilipa ayi beno boso luidi vava mu lumbu kiaki va kimosi ayi beto, lulembo moni mutu wawu widi va ntualꞌeno, niandi bayiza nkangu woso wu Bayuda wuyiza funda kuidi minu; buba ku Yelusalemi voti vava, baba yamikinanga ti fueni vondo.
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.
Vayi minu, ndimona ti, kasia vanga diambu di kafueti vondoloko. Vayi niandi veka mutu wawu wulomba mu kuenda kuidi ntinu wu Loma, diawu ndieka kumfidisila ku Loma.
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.
Vayi kadi diambu ndikadi mona disonikina ntinu mu diambu diandi. Diawu ndinnatini va ntualꞌeno ayi ndutu va ntualꞌaku, ngeyo ntinu Angilipa mu diambu ndibaka diambu disonika bu kameni sambusu.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Bila ndimmona ti disi diambu dimboti ko mu fidisa muisi nloko mu kambu zabikisa mambu momo bamfundidi.
