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;
Mu fighono fihano, u Anania u n'tenkesi um'baha, avaghogholo vamo nu njovaji jumo juno itambulua Tertulo, vakaluta palapala. Avaanhu vala vantwalile amakole kange kwa Paulo ughwa Gavana.
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,
U Paulo ye imile pavulongolo pa gavana, u Tertulo akatengula kukumuhigha na kujova kwa gavana, “Ulwakuva tuli nulutengano uluvaha; namumbonekelo sako sileta amaghendelelo mannono mulikaja litu;
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
kange nulusungu lwooni tukwupila ikiinu kyoni kino ghu vomba, vuhungile vwa mwoghopua Feliki.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to you, I exhort you to hear us concisely in your gentleness;
Looli naningakugasie kyongo, nikukupelepesia umulike amasio amadebe nu vukola vwako.
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—
Ulwakuva tum'patile umuunhu uju umbivi ikuvapelea ava Yahudi vooni vagaluke mu iisi, kange mulongosi ghwa kipuugha kya Nazorayo.
6 who also tried to profane the temple, whom we also took, [[and wished to judge according to our law,
Kange ukaghele kuponia inyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila uvulamafu pe tukan'kola, namweule munakala inofo isa pa kali.
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, took away out of our hands with much violence,
Lisiasi, um'baha akisa na pikun'tola mu ngufu sa mavoko ghiiti, namwule mu nakala innofu isa malembe agha kali.
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”;
Ungam'posie u Paulo vwimila ghwa masio agha, kange lunoghile kufuala ikinu kiki kino tumuhighile.”
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Ava Yahudi voope vakamuhigha u Paulo, vijova kuuti amasio agha ghakale gha kyang'haani.
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;
U n'sikali ye agholwisie uluvoko kuuti u Paulo ajove, u Paulo akamula, “Nikagula kuuti amaka minga ulimulamuli ghwa kisina iki, nilinulukelo kukwolela june kulyuve.
11 you being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Uvaghile pikulutang'ania kuuti nafikilile ifighono kukila ifighono fijigho na fivili kuhuma pano nikatoghile kuluta kukufunya ku 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;
Vakaati vabwene munyumba inyimike ijakufunyila, nanikakaning'ine nu muunhu nambe jumo, nanikavombile uvugaluli mu kipugha, nambe munyumba isa kufunyila nambe mulikaja;
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
nambe navanoghile kusimilisia kulyuve amasitaka ghano vikusitaka vwimila une.
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,
Kange ni kuvitika, kuuti musila jila jino vikemela muli sehebu, musila jijio nikim'bombela u Nguluve ughwa va Nhaata viitu. Une nilin'kola mughoni ghano ghali mundaghilo na mumalembe agha vaviili.
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;
Nili nu lukangasio lulalula kwa Nguluve juno nambe vala na vene vighulila, kukwisa kuvusyuke uvwa vafue kuvooni ava kyang'ani nambe navano navalivwakyang'ani;
16 and in this I exercise myself, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
na kuiili, ni vomba imbombo ulwakuuti nive nuluvelo ulusita n'kole pa maaso gha Nguluve na pavulongolo pa vaanhu kukilila agha ghooni.
17 And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
Lino mu maka minga nisile ku twala ulutangilo mu kisina kyango nu luvelo ulwa ndalama.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Ye nivombile ndiki, ava Yahudi avange vakamwene mun'kate mu kikulukulu ikya kuvalasia mun'kate mu nyumba inyimike, nambe kipugha kya vaanhu kisila lunjughanjugha.
19 whom it is necessary to be present before you, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Avaanhu ava lunoghile kuuva pavulongolo palyuve linolino vajove kila kino valinakyo vwimila vwango ndavule pano valinilisio lyelyoni.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the Sanhedrin,
Kange avaanhu ava vavuo vajove u n'kole ghuliku ghuno vaghwaghile kulyune ye nimile pavulongolo pa vuhighi uva Kiyahudi;
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.”
nambe vwimila vwa kinu kimo kino nikajovile nhi lisio ye nimile pakate nakati pavanave, 'Ulwakuva uvusyuke vwa vafue umue mukunihigha.”
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”;
U Feliki akavulilue vunofu vwimila isila, akakileka ikipugha. Akaati, “Lisia um'baha ghwa kipugha pano ikwisa kuhuma ku Yerusalemu ni humia uvulamuli mu makole ghiinu.”
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.
Pe pano akamulaghila u akida amulolelaghe u Paulo, kange ave nhi nafasi nambe napeangavisaghe umuunhu ughwa kuvakana avakana avamanyani vamwene nava ngatangaghe nambe kukumughendela.
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,
Ye ifighonpo fimo, u Feliki akagomoka nu Drusila un'dala juno alyale Muyahudi, akamwomola kukun'kemela u Paulo akapulikisia imola kuhuma kwa mwene ija lwitiko mun'kate mwa Yesu Kilisite.
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”;
Looli u Paulo ye ikana nu mwene vwimila uvwa kyang'haani, kuuti mughelaghe nuvuhighi vuno vulikwisa, u Feliki lukamwagha uludwesi akamula, “luta kuvutali lino, looli ningaghuvone un'siki kange, nikukukemela.”
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;
Un'siki ghughughuo, akahuvilile kuuti u Paulo ikum'pela indalama pa uluo akan'kemela nakalina akajova nu mwene.
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.
Looli amaka ghavili ye ghakilile, u Porkio Festo akava Ntua akahala pa Feliki akalondagha kukupyanilisia kuva Yahudi, pa uluo pe akamuleka u Paulo pasi pavuloleli.
