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;
Ie lime andro añe, nizotso mb’e Kaisaria mb’eo t’i Ananiasy mpisorom-bey naho ty ila’ o roaeo vaho ty ondati-aivo atao Tertilo, le nasesek’ amy Ragovay ty sisì’ iareo amy Paoly.
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,
Ie tinoka, le niorote’ i Tertilo seseke, ami’ty hoe: Oniñe te ihe ro ierañeraña’ay an-kanintsiñe, naho mihafonitse ty fañavaoañe ty fifeheañe toy ty amo falalà’oo,
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
le no’ay an-tsata’e iaby sikal’aia sikal’aia, ry Feliksa, am-pañandriañañe mandigiligy.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to you, I exhort you to hear us concisely in your gentleness;
Fe tsy mone hahamokorako, le ihalaliako ty hiferenaiña’o hijanjiñe o enta’ay tsy ampeo.
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—
Rendre’ay t’ie mpitrobo o lahilahio naho mampiola ze fonga Jiosy an-tane atoy, mbore mpifehe amy firimboñan-te-Nazaretay;
6 who also tried to profane the temple, whom we also took, [[and wished to judge according to our law,
aa ie nimane haniva i anjomban’ Añaharey, le tsinepa’ay ie ho nizaka aze amy lili’aiy.
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, took away out of our hands with much violence,
Fe nivotrak’eo t’i Lisiose mpizaka, le am-piaroteñe ty nitavana’e an-taña’ay, naho nampihitrife’e mb’ama’o atoy,
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”;
vaho linili’e hiatrek’azo o mpanesek’ azeo. Ie mahatsikarake irehe, le ho oni’o ty hatò’ o anesefa’ay azeo.
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Ninò’ o Tehodao i taroñe zay le sinaontsi’ iereo te hene to.
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;
Ie tinondro’ i Ragovay t’i Paoly hisaontsy, le hoe ty natoi’e: Fohiñe te maro taoñe ty nizakà’o ami’ty fifeheañe toy le mahaehak’ ahy ty manoiñe ty amako.
11 you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Mora ho azo ty hahaoniñe te folo-ro’amby andro izay ty nionjonako mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hitalaho.
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;
Toe tsy nioni’ iereo nifandietse aman-dra iaia iraho, tsy nitrobo i màroy ndra añ’ anjomban’ Añahare, ndra am-pitontonañ’ ao ndra an-drova ao.
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Tsy eo ka ty hamenteañe o tiñe anisìa’ iareo ahy henaneo.
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,
Fe zao ty talilako ama’o te i Làlañe atao’ iereo firimboñañey ro itoroñako an’ Andrianañaharen-droae’ay am-patokisako ze hene milahatse amy Hake naho misokitse amo Mpitokio,
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;
le mitamà an’ Andrianañahare, ze toe salalae’ iareo ka, te toe eo ty fivañonañe amy havilasiy ho a o vañoñeo naho ho a o tsereheñeo.
16 and in this I exercise myself, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Le izay ty imaneako lomoñandro t’ie ho aman-troke mazava tsy aman-dilatse aman’ Añahare naho ama’ ondaty.
17 And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
Ie naha-ritse taoñe maromaro añe, le nibalike mb’etoa iraho ninday falalàñe ho an-drofokoko naho hañenga.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Izay ty nanoeko amy anjomban’ Añaharey te nizoe’ iereo, ie fa nañefe-batañe, tsy an-dahialeñe tsy an-kotakotake, fe teo o Jiosy nte-Asiao;
19 whom it is necessary to be present before you, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
nisoa t’ie niatrek’ azo etoañe, haneseke, naho toe anaña’e hakeo.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the Sanhedrin,
Naho tsy izay, ee te ho talilie’ ondaty retiañe ze hakeo nioni’ iereo amako amy nijohañako añatrefa’ i Sinedrionaiy,
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.”
naho tsy i raha raike nikoiheko te nijohañ’ añ´atrefa’ey ami’ty hoe: Ty fitroaran-kavilasy ro izakañe ahy miatrek’ anahareo henaneo.
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”;
Fe i Feliksa, ie nahafohiñe soa o raha mioza amy Làlañey ro nampandiñe iereo ami’ty hoe: Ie mizotso mb’etoa t’i Lisia, talè, le ho rendreko soa ty ama’o.
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.
Le linili’e ty mpifehe zato ty hiambeñe aze fe nado’e hidada, mbore tsy nirarà’e hiatrak’ aze o rañe’eo.
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,
Ie añe ty andro tsy ampeampe, le totsak’eo ty Feliksa naho i Drosilae vali’e, Jiosy. Nampikanjieñe t’i Paoly vaho nijanjiña’ iereo ty fatokisañe Iesoà Norizañeiy.
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”;
Aa ie nañoke ty havantañañe naho ty filieram-batañe naho ty zaka ho avy le nihondrahondra t’i Feliksa nanao ty hoe: Akia hey irehe, le ho tokaveko an-tsa mete.
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;
Nitamà’e ka te ho mea’ i Paoly drala, aa le nipaia’e beteke hifanaontsia’e.
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.
Ie re nitampetse ty roe taoñe, le nandimbe i Feliksa t’i Porsio Festosy, fa te hañosikosike o Tehodao ty Feliksa, le nenga’e mirohy ao t’i Paoly.
