Acts 24
1 And after five days the chief priest Ananias came down, with the elders, and a certain orator—Tertullus, and they disclosed to the governor [the things] against Paul;
Sima na mikolo mitano, Ananiasi, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ayaki na Sezarea, elongo na ndambo ya bakambi mpe molobeli Tertile, mpo na kofunda Polo epai ya moyangeli.
2 and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, “Enjoying much peace through you, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through your forethought,
Tango babengisaki Polo, Tertile akomaki kofunda ye liboso ya Felikisi na maloba oyo: — Tata moyangeli Felikisi, ezali mpo na yo nde tozali na kimia ya solo, mpe mpo na bwanya na yo nde mbongwana ya solo ekota kati na ekolo oyo.
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
Tata moyangeli Felikisi, na bisika nyonso mpe na tango nyonso, tondimaka yango mpe totondaka yo mingi penza.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to you, I exhort you to hear us concisely in your gentleness;
Kasi, tolingi te kozwa yo tango molayi. Nabondeli yo: salela biso ngolu ya koyoka biso na mwa tango moke.
5 for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world—also a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes—
Biso, tomoni ete mosala ya moto oyo ezali: kotia mobulu; azali kobimisa mobulu kati na Bayuda nyonso ya mokili mobimba. Azali mokambi ya lingomba moko ya bato ya Nazareti,
6 who also tried to profane the temple, whom we also took, [[and wished to judge according to our law,
mpe amekaki kutu kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo, yango wana tokangaki ye. [Tozalaki na posa ya kosambisa ye kolanda Mobeko na biso,
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, took away out of our hands with much violence,
kasi Lisiasi, mokonzi ya basoda, ayaki mpe abotolaki ye na maboko na biso na makasi.
8 having commanded his accusers to come to you, ]] from whom you may be able, yourself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him”;
Apesaki bato oyo bafundaki ye mitindo ete baya epai na yo.] Soki yo moko otuni ye mituna, okososola ete makambo oyo tofundeli ye ezali ya solo.
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Bayuda babetaki sete na makambo oyo bafundelaki ye.
10 And Paul—the governor having beckoned to him to speak—answered, “Knowing [that] for many years you have been a judge to this nation, I answer more cheerfully the things concerning myself;
Tango moyangeli apesaki Polo nzela ya koloba, Polo azongisaki: — Nayebi solo ete ozali mosambisi ya ekolo oyo wuta mibu ebele. Boye, nazali na esengo ya kosamba liboso na yo.
11 you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Yo moko okoki koluka koyeba malamu ete eleki nanu mikolo zomi na mibale te wuta nakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosambela Nzambe.
12 and neither did they find me reasoning with anyone in the temple, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
Mpe bato oyo bafundi ngai batikala nanu kokuta ngai te nazali kotia tembe na moto to nazali kotindika bato ete batomboka, ezala kati na Tempelo to kati na bandako ya mayangani to mpe kati na engumba.
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Bakolonga mpe te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo oyo bafundeli ngai sik’oyo.
14 And I confess this to you, that, according to The Way that they call a sect, so I serve the God of the fathers, believing all things that have been written in the Law and the Prophets,
Nzokande, nandimi ete nasalelaka Nzambe ya bakoko na biso, wana nazali kolanda Nzela oyo bango bazali kobenga « binzambe-nzambe. » Nandimaka nyonso oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko mpe kati na mikanda ya basakoli.
15 having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a resurrection of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;
Boye ngai, ndenge moko na bango, nazalaka na elikya na Nzambe ete bato nyonso bakosekwa, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
16 and in this I exercise myself, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Yango wana, ngai mpe nasalaka tango nyonso makasi mpo na kobatela motema na ngai peto, liboso ya Nzambe mpe liboso ya bato.
17 And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
Sima na ngai kosala mibu ebele na libanda ya Yelusalemi, nazongaki na mboka na ngai mpo na komemela bato bakelela ya ekolo na ngai lisungi, mpe mpo na kobonzela Nzambe makabo.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Bakutaki ngai nasilisi komipetola kati na Tempelo; ezalaki na ebele ya bato te elongo na ngai, mobulu mpe te.
19 whom it is necessary to be present before you, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Kasi ezali ndambo ya Bayuda ya Azia, oyo bazalaki wana, nde basengelaki kotelema liboso na yo mpo na kofunda ngai, soki solo bazwaki ngai na likambo.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the Sanhedrin,
To mpe lisusu, tika ete bato oyo bazali awa baloba bango moko mabe oyo bazwaki ngai tango nasambaki liboso ya Likita-Monene,
21 except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them—Concerning a resurrection of the dead I am judged by you today.”
longola kaka liloba oyo nabimisaki, wana natelemaki liboso na bango: « Bozali kosambisa ngai lelo mpo ete nandimaka ete bakufi bakosekwa! »
22 And having heard these things, Felix delayed them—having known more exactly of the things concerning The Way—saying, “When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you”;
Felikisi, oyo ayebaki malamu makambo oyo etali Nzela, azongisaki bango mpe alobaki: — Nakoyekola malamu likambo na bino tango mokonzi ya basoda, Lisiasi, akoya.
23 having also given a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.
Boye, apesaki mitindo epai ya mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko ete abatela Polo lokola mokangami kati na boloko, kasi atikela ye mwa bonsomi mpe apesa bandeko na ye nzela mpo ete basunga ye.
24 And after certain days, Felix having come with his wife Drusilla, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning faith toward Christ,
Sima na mwa mikolo, Felikisi ayaki elongo na mwasi na ye, Drusiye, oyo azalaki Moyuda; abengisaki Polo mpe akomaki koyoka ye na tina na makambo oyo etali kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
25 and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, “For the present be going, and having time, I will call for you”;
Kasi, wana Polo akomaki koloba na tina na bosembo, komikanga mpe kosambisama oyo ezali koya, Felikisi ayokaki somo mpe alobaki na ye: — Ekoki mpo na sik’oyo! Okoki kolongwa. Soki nazwi lisusu tango, nakobengisa yo.
26 and at the same time also hoping that money will be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him often, he was conversing with him;
Felikisi azalaki kobengisa ye mbala na mbala mpo na kosolola na ye, na elikya ete Polo akopesa ye kanyaka.
27 and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favor on the Jews, left Paul bound.
Sima na mibu mibale, Porsiusi Festisi akomaki moyangeli na esika ya Felikisi oyo, mpo na kosepelisa Bayuda, atikaki Polo kati na boloko.
