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;
Pa mashaka mhanu, mtambika mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu Ananiya kingiriti Kaisariya pamwera na wazewi wamu na wakili yumu gwa malagaliru yawamshema Teritulu. Wamgendiriti mkulu wa mkowa ulii wamgambira mashitaka gawu kuusu Paulu.
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,
Paulu wamshemiti, na Teritulu kamlavilira mashitaka hangu, “Mtuwa Felisi, ulonguziya waku uherepa ujega ponga nkulu na kwa ulolera waku vitwatira vivuwa vitulwa weri toziya ya isi yetu.
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
Shipindi shoseri na pahala poseri, kwa ntambu zoseri, mtuwa Felisi, tuvyanka vitwatira vyoseri avi kwa mayagashii gavuwa.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to you, I exhort you to hear us concisely in your gentleness;
Kumbiti, bila kuhowiziya shipindi shaku nentu, tukuluwa kwa viheri vyaku, guyipikiniri isi yetu.
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—
Tuyambula handa muntu ayu ndo mbaya nentu. Yomberi katenda ndewu pakati pa Wayawudi kila pahala pasi panu na viraa ndo mlongoziya gwa shama shilii sha Wanazareti.
6 who also tried to profane the temple, whom we also took, [[and wished to judge according to our law,
Kayi kajeriti kuyihalibisiya numba nkulu ya kumluwira Mlungu, natwenga tumkamliti. Tufiriti kumtoza kugenderana na malagaliru getu twaweni.
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, took away out of our hands with much violence,
Kumbiti Lusiya, mkulu gwa majengeni, kingiriti pakati, kamtoliti kwa likakala kulawa mmawoku getu.
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”;
Handa pagumgambira msitaki gwakuwi kiza kulongolu kwaku, Handa pagumkosiya gumweni guweza kuvimana vitwatira vyoseri avi vyatumsitakiti kwa vyeni.”
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Na Wayawudi wajimira shisoweru sha masitaka aga pawatakula handa goseri aga gaweriti nakaka.
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;
Su, mkulu gwa mkowa kamlekiziiti Paulu katakuli. Nayomberi Paulu kalonga, “Nemelera kujiteteya paulongolu paku panuvimana handa guwera mtoza gwa maisi aga kwa vinja vivuwa.
11 you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Guweza kujiakishiya handa nentu ndiri ya mashaka ligumba na mawili hera gapita kwanjira pang'enditi kuguwira Yerusalemu.
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;
Wayawudi wamona ndiri panalitakuziyana na muntu yoseri wamona ndiri panuwasongiziya wantu mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pota munumba zya Milungu yawu. Pota pahala pingi kayi poseri mlushi alu.
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Pota waweza ndili kulanguziya mashitaka wagalaviyiti kuusu neni.
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,
Shanjimira paulongolu paku ndo hashi. Neni numjimira Mlungu gwa wazewi wetu pandama kugenderana na njira ilii yeni womberi wayishema shama sha ufyangu. Njimira vitwatira vyoseri vyawalembiti muvintola vya malagaliru ga Musa na muvintola vya wambuyi.
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;
Neni nulitumbira Mlungu, na womberi walitumbira ula vira, handa wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na wantu yawamfiriziya ndiri Mlungu, hawazyuki.
16 and in this I exercise myself, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Hangu hangangamali mashaka goseri kuwera na nfiru heri paulongolu pa Mlungu na palongolu pa wantu.
17 And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
“Pantamiti kutali kwa vinja vyamaha, mbuyiti Yerusalemu su kuwajegera wantu wa lushi lwangu utanga na kulaviya tambiku.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Shipindi neni paweriti nankutenda aga su womberi wamoniti neni Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, nweriti ntenditi kala vitwatira vya kulipunga. Panweriti ndiri na lipinga lya wantu ama ndewu yoseri.
19 whom it is necessary to be present before you, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Kumbiti kuweriti na Wayawudi wamonga kulawa kumkoa gwa Asiya, hawa watakiwa kuwera panu paulongolu pakuwi na kulavia masitaka gawu handa wana shoseri sha kunsitakira.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the Sanhedrin,
Ama, guwaleki awa wawawera panu watakuli likosa lyawaliwoniti kwaneni shipindi pang'olukiti paulongolu pashizyungu shawu shikulu,
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.”
payiweri hera visoweru avi vyantakuliti pang'olukiti paulongulu pawu, ‘Mlungu kantozi ulaleru toziya ya kukolera handa wahowiti hawazyukisiwi.’”
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”;
Panu, Felisi, yomberi mweni kaweriti kayimana njira ayi weri, kahayilishiti kesi ayi. Kawagambira, “Navinu hantozi kesi ayi shipindi Lusiya, mkulu gwa wanjagila, pakiza panu.”
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.
Shakapanu kamwimiziya mkulu gwa wanjagila kamtuli Paulu mshibetubetu, kumbiti kaweri na ulekiziwu shiyasi na waganja wakuwi kotukuwabera pawamupanana shakafira.
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,
Pa mashaka madidini, Felisi kiziti pamwera na mdala gwakuwi Drusila yomberi kiweriti Myawudi. Kaamuiti Paulu wamjegi, kampikanira pakayowera kuusu kumjimira Yesu Kristu.
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”;
Kumbiti shipindi Paulu pakanjiti kuyowera kuusu shashimfiriziya Mlungu, kuusu kulikolamlima na kuusu lishaka ya kutoza lyaliyiza. Felisi katiriti na kulonga, “Vinu guweza kugenda, hanukushemi kayi pampata lupenyu.”
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;
Shipindi shirashi kaweriti kankulitumba handa Paulu kangamupiti shuma. Toziya ayi kamshemiti Paulu mala kwa mala na kuyowera nayu.
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.
Pa vinja miwili avi, Porikiu Festu katoliti lupenyu lwa Felisi, kaweri mkulu gwa mkowa. Toziya kafiriti kulijegelera kwa Wayawudi, Felisi kamlekiti Paulu mshibetubetu.
