Acts 24
1 And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
Nazyashila ensiku zisanu, Anania ugosi we shibhanza, nazee nu wayanje itawa lyakwe Tertulo, bhabhala pala. Abhantu ebha bhaletila amashitaka gabha hushitaki u Paulo hwa gavana.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
Paulo nawimilila hwa gavana, Tertulo wanda hushitaki nayanje hwa gavana, “ate tilinulutengano nawe uletile enyizya ezyalinganye ensi yetu;
3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
eshi hulusalifyo lwonti tiposhela shila hantu hubhomba, tihuposhela shila hantu hubhomba, tihulamuha, Wugosi Feliki.
4 Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Lelo insahalisye, elabha untejelezye enongwa endodo wene.
5 For we have found this man [a] pestilent [fellow], and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Timwajile umuntu unu korofi, yasababisya Ayahudi bhonti bhabhe bhakorofi nasinte nahwumvwanwe munsi. Nantele longozi we mathehebu ga Nazarayo.
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Nantele alinjile ananganye eshibhanza shetu, ate takhata
7 But the chief captain Lysias came [upon us], and with great violence took [him] away out of our hands,
8 Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Nkashele ubhuzye uPaulo yuyo ubhamanye zyatishitakiye.”
9 And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
Ayahudi bhope bhashitaki u Paulo, bhaga ezyo zililyoli.
10 Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
U Liwali nawasontela ukhono uPaulo aje ayanje, u Paulo ahagamula, “Ane imenye huje amaha minji uligamulanyi wi taifa eli, nantele ensungwilwe ayanje huliwe.
11 Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
Ubhajiye ahakikisye wewe huje sigazishilile ensiku ilongo ne zibhili ahwande panabhaliye apuute hu Yerusalemu.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Nabhanajile mushibhanza, ane siganadalisinye nu muntu yayonti nantele siganaletile yayonti, nantele siganaletile efujo yayonti mubhungano wala mwisinagogi wala pamuji;
13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
na sigabhabhajiye ahakikisye zyabhanshiyakila ane.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Ila iyanga ezyelyoli huliwe huje hwidala lila abhene lyabhaiga lidhehebu, hwilyo nane ihubhombela imbombo Ungulubhi waise bhetu. Ane endi mwaminifu hunsimbozye sheria wakuwe.
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Endi nu oujasiri wulawula, abhene wabhangula bhope, uluzyuho lwa bhafwe abinza na bhasigabhinza;
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and [toward] men.
hweli ibhomba imbombo iya huje embe nu mwoyo gwasiga gwalongwe hwa Ngulubhi na hwa bhantu ashilile hu mambo gonti.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
Eshi nagashila amaha gaminji ane enenzele alete umusaada hwitaifa lyane ne zawadi eye hela.
18 Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Nanabhombaga isho Ayahudi bhabhafumila hu Asia bhanaga musikulukulu ye lwozyo mushibhanza, bila efuj yayonti nantele bila lipuga lyabhantu.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
Abhantu ebha bhahwanziwa aje bhenze epa bhayanje nkashele bhali ne nongwa zyazyonti nane.
20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Bhayanje bhibho nabhandolile nihimiliye pibaraza lya bhayahudi embibhi zyabhazilolile;
21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
ila ahantu hamo hamayanjile panahimiliye pahati yabho, najile hunongwa ye luzyuho lwabhafwe mundonga.”
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
U Feliki abhulilwe ahusu idala lila na akhomola ubungano. Waga, “Lisia jemedari nayenza afume hu Yerusalemu ane yaamula amashitaka genyu.”
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
Epo wamula huje uakida uPaulo, na huje asahabhe umuntu uwabhakhane aholo bhakwe humwavwe na hujendele.
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
Ensiku nazyashila, uFeliki wawela nu Drusila ushi wakwe yaahali Muyahudi watuma abhantu hukwizye uPaulo watejelezya enongwa zya lutengano lwalufuma hwa Yesu Kristi.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
U Paulo nahayagaga nawo amambo ge ulonzi wa Ngulubhi hwa bhantu uFeliki wogopa waga bhalaga nana ipate enafasi naihukwizya nantele.”
26 He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
Omuda gwugwo apambamiye huje uPaulo abhahupele ihela, akwizyaga wilawila ayanje nawo.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Amaha gabhili nagashila u Porkio Festo ahabha Liwali pyanili wa Feliki, u Feliki umwene ahanzaga ahwipendehezye hwa Yahudi, aleshile uPaulo hwa abhlinzi.
