Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Pa mashaka matatu kwingira kumkoa, Festu kalawiti kaisariya kagenda Yerusalemu.
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
Watambika wakulu pamwera na walongoziya wa Shiyawudi wampiti shisoweru kuusu mashitaka gakaweriti naga Paulu. Wamluwiti Festu.
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
Kawatenderi shitwatira shiheri kwa kumjega Paulu Yerusalemu. Waweriti watenda mpangu wamlagi pakawera mnjira.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
Kumbiti Festu kankula “Paulu hakasigali mshibetubetu kulii Kaisariya na neni hang'endi aku ulavinu.
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
Muwaleki walongu wenu wagendi haku pamwera naneni wagalavii mashitaka gawu kuusu yomberi handa katenda shoseri shidoda.”
6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought;
Festu katamiti nawu kwa shipindi sha mashaka msheshi ama ligumba, shakapanu kawuya Kaisariya. Shirawu yakuwi kalikala pa kutozera, kaamuwa Paulu wamjegi pashizyungu.
7 and he having come, there stood around the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem—many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
Shipindi Paulu pakiziti, Wayawudi waweriti walawa Yerusalemu wamzyengikiti wanjiti kulaviya masitaka gavuwa geni waweziti ndiri kugalanguziya.
8 he making defense, [said, ] “Neither in regard to the Law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar—did I commit any sin.”
Kwa kujiteteya, Paulu katakuliti, “Neni ndenda ndiri likosa lyoseri kuusu Malagaliru ga Wayawudi, pota kuusu numba nkulu ya kumluwa Mlungu, pota kumhusu Kaisari.”
9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favor, answering Paul, said, “Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged before me there concerning these things?”
Festu kafiriti kulijegelera kwa Wayawudi na hangu kamkosiya Paulu, “Hashi, gufira ng'endi Yerusalemu na aku wakakutozi kulongolu kwaneni kuusu masitaka aga?”
10 And Paul said, “At the judgment seat of Caesar I am standing, where it is necessary for me to be judged; I did no unrighteousness to Jews, as you also very well know;
Paulu kankula, “Nankugoloka palongolu pa shizyungu sha Kaisari, na palaa panu ndo nfiruwa kutozwa. Handa ntambu yaguvimana mweni, nuwatendera ndiri Wayawudi vidoda vyoseri.
11 for if I am indeed unrighteous, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favor of me to them; I appeal to Caesar!”
Su, payiwera neni wera na likosa lyanfiruwa azabu ya kuhowa, nduwa ndiri mundekiziyi azabu ayi. Kumbiti handa kwahera unakaka pakati pamasitaka gawalaviyiti wantu awa, kwahera yakaweza kuntula neni kwa womberi. Ng'enda kulongolu kwa Kaisari!”
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
Su, pa Festu kuyowera na washawuli wakuwi, kamgambira Paulu, “Gufira kugenda kwa Kaisari, su, gugendi kwa Kaisari.”
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
Pamberi pa mashaka gavuwa ndiri, Mtuwa Agiripa na Beriniki wasokiti Kaisariya su kulaviya ligoya lyawu kwa Festu.
14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, “There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
Waweriti aku mashaka ng'o, Festu kamgambira mfalumi masitaka ga Paulu, “Kwana muntu yumu panu mweni Felisi kamtatiriti.
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
Pangenditi Yerusalemu watambika wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu na wazewi wa Shiyawudi wamsitakiti na kunduwa numtozi.
16 to whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favor of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defense in regard to the charge laid against [him].
Kumbiti neni ntakuliti handa shitiba shetu ndiri Warumi kumlaviya muntu kaazibiwi pamberi pa msitakiwa hakeniliwoni na wasitaki wakuwi shinaga ubaga na kumupa lupenu lwa kujiteteya kuusu masitaka aga.
17 They, therefore, having come together—I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat on the judgment seat, commanded the man to be brought,
Su, pawasokiti panu, ngawalira ndiri, su tuliwoniti pashizyungu shirawu yakuwi, himiziya muntu ayu wamjegi.
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
Wasitaki wakuwi wagolokiti kumbiti walaviya ndiri masitaka madoda handa ntambu yanweriti nankulolera.
19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
Ira hera nweriti na likakatala nentu pamwera nayomberi kuusu dini yawu na kuusu muntu yumu yawamshema Yesu yomberi kahowiti, kumbiti Paulu kankukololera handa kamkomu.
20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, asked if he was willing to go on to Jerusalem, and to be judged there concerning these things—
Neni maniti ndiri shakutenda kuusu shauli ali. Su, numkosiyiti Paulu handa kafira ng'endi kushizyungu Yerusalemu kulii kwaajili ya masitaka aga.
21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.”
Kumbiti Paulu kendereyiti kulongolu, kaluwa walekiziyi mshibetubetu mpaka uwamuzi wa shitwatira ashi utendwi na Kaisari hangu amuwiti katami mshibetubetu mpaka paweza kumjega kwa Kaisari.”
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
Su, Agiripa kamgambira Festu, “Nfira kumpikinira muntu ayu neni namweni, “Hagumpikiniri shirawu.” Festu kamgambira
23 on the next day, therefore—on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered—Paul was brought forth.
Hangu, shirawu yakuwi, Agiripa na Beriniki wiziti kwa nemeleru pakati pamdamu gwa kuliwona waweriti walikola na wakulu wa wanjagila na walongoziya wa lushi. Festu kaamuwiti Paulu wamjegi mnumba.
24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, you see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
Festu kalongiti, “Mfalumi Agiripa na woseri wawaweriti panu pamwera na twenga! Panu paulongolu penu kwana muntu yomberi shipinga shoseri sha Wayawudi panu na Yerusalemu kulii wanalamikiriti pawatenda umatu handa kafiruwa kayi ndiri kuwera ukomu.
25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
Kumbiti neni mona handa kaweriti katenda ndiri shoseri shidoda ata kafiruwa wamupi azabu ya kumlaga. Kumbiti Paulu mweni kendeleyiti kulongolu kwa Kaisari, amuwiti wamjegi.
26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, for what reason I brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
Kwa uwega waneni nahera visoweru kamili vyeni weza kumlembera Kaisari kuusu yomberi. Ina mana numjega panu palongolu penu na palongolu paku mfalumi Agiripa, su pawamshunguziti kala, nwezi kuwera na shakulemba.
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
Kwa mana iwezekana ndiri kumjega mtatilwa pota kukanda likosa shinaga ubaga.”
