Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Mpopalapita masuba atatu kufumina pa busuba mbwalashika mu cimpansha caYudeya, Fesito walafuma ku Kaisaleya walaya ku Yelusalemu
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
Beshimilumbo bamakulene, pamo ne batangunishi Baciyuda, balamwambila Fesito milandu yonse njebalamubepesha Paulo. Balamukombelela Fesito,
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
kwambeti amubweshe Paulo ku Yelusalemu. Balambeco pakwinga balikuyandeti bamushine pakwisa mu nshila.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
Nomba Fesito walabakumbuleti, “Paulo wasungilwa ku Kaisaleya uko nkondenga linolino apa.
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
Neco, batangunishi benu twenga pamo ne njame ku Kaisaleya kwambeti benga bakamupe mulandu kopeloko na pali ncalensa caipa.”
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;
Fesito mpwalekalako masuba asanu ne atatu mpani masuba likumi ku Yelusalemu, walaya ku Kaisaleya. Pabusuba bwakonkapo, walengila mu nkuta ne kwikala pa cipuna calombolosho ne kutuma bantu kuya kuleta Paulo.
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,
Lino Paulo mpwalashika, Bayuda balafumina ku Yelusalemu balamushinguluka ne kwamba makani angi eshikutinisha, nomba baliyawa kucikonsha kupa bukamboni bwesulila.
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.”
Nomba Paulo pakulifuna walambeti, “Paliya cintu ncondalensa cabula kusuminishiwa mu Milawo ya Bayuda, ndiyawa kwipishapo Ng'anda ya Lesa, nambi kwamba caipa ku Mwami waku Loma.”
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?”
Nomba pakuyandeti Bayuda bamusune, Fesito walepusha Paulo, “Sena ngoyanda kuya ku Yelusalemu kwambeti nkoti nkakomboloshele?”
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;
Paulo walakumbuleti, “Ame ndemana kendi pano pa cipuna ca lombolosho lwa Mwami waku Loma, pano empondelela komboloshewa. Paliya ncendalepishila Bayuda, mbuli ncomwinshi mobene.
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!”
Lino na pali cintu ncondalensa cabula kusuminishiwa ne Milawo, ico celela kunshinisha ame, nkandakananga kunshinwa sobwe. Nsombi ibi mbyobalambanga na ni bya bwepeshi, paliya muntu welela kuntwala mu makasa abo. Neco ndasengengeti, Mwami waku Loma akawomboloshe mulandu wakame.”
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
Fesito mpwalapwisha kufwiyafwiya pamo ne bamaloba bamano, walamwambileti, “Pakwinga omwine ulasengeti Mwami waku Loma eshakomboloshe mulandu wakobe, anu nukenga ku Mwami waku Loma.”
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, Mwami Agilipa pamo ne Benisi nkash yakendi, balaya ku Kaisaleya, kuya kumufwakashila Fesito.
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,
Mpobalekalako masuba angi, Fesito walamwambila Mwami Agilipa ncewalikuba mulandu wa Paulo. Walambeti, “Kuli muntu kuno ngwalashiya Felekisi mujele.
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
Mpondalaya ku Yelusalemu, beshimilumbo bamakulene, ne bamakulene Baciyuda, balang'ambila makani a muntuyu ne kunsengeti ndimupe mulandu.
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].
Nomba ndalabambileti catondwa kuli njafwe Baloma. Pakwinga nkatukute kupa mulandu muntu uliyense kwakubula kumupa cindi cakulifuna pamenso pa abo balamupanga mulandu.
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,
Mpobalesa kuno pamo ne njame, ndiyawa kutaya cindi sobwe, busuba bwalakonkapo, ndalengila mu nkuta ne kwikala pa cipuna ca lombolosho, ne kutuma bantu kuya kumuleta Paulo.
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
Beshikumupa mulandu mpobalanyamuka kutatika kwamba, baliya kwamba milandu yaipa ame njendalikuyeyeti njebalamuletele.
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;
Anu alikuba makani ngobali kutotekeshana bene, mbuli mobelela kukambilila Lesa, kayi ne makani a muntu naumbi walafwa walikukwiweti Yesu, uyo Paulo ngwalikwambeti ni muyumi.
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—
Ndalabula mwakucanina makani akubinga pa mulandu uwu, neco ndalepusha Paulo na ngoyanda kuya komboloshewa ku Yelusalemu.
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.”
Paulo walasenga mwine kuya komboloshewa ne Mwami waku Loma, ne kwambeti bashilikali bamulondenga mujele katanaya ku Loma. Neco ndalambila bashilikali kwambeti bamulondenga mpaka busuba bwa kumutuma kuli Mwami mukulene.”
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
Agilipa walambila Fesito, “Ne njame ndayandangeti nkalinyumfwile ndemwine kumuntuyu.” Fesito walakumbuleti, “Nimukalinyumfwile mobene lilo.”
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.
Busuba bwalakonkapo, Agilipa ne Benisi balatambulwa cabulemu ne bantu mpobalikuya kwingila mu nkuta, pamo ne bashilikali bamakulene, ne bantu bayampuwo mu munshi. Popelapo Fesito walatuma bashilikali kuya kumuleta Paulo.
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;
Mpwalesa Paulo, Fesito walambeti, “Mwalemekwa Mwami Agilipa, ne njamwe muli pamo ne njafwe muno. Uyu muntu ngomulabononga, engobalatongokunga Bayuda bonse bekala kuno, ne ku Yelusalemu, ne kubilikisheti welela kufwa.
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,
Nsombi ame pacakame, paliya caipa ncondalacana celela kumuletela lufu. Lino pakwinga walasengeti omboloshewe ne Mwami waku Loma, ndalayeyeti bakamutwale ku Loma.
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;
Cakubinga, pano ame ndiyawa cancinencine ncondelela kulembela Mwami, cilambanga sha mulandu wakendi muntuyu. Ecebo cakendi ndamulete muntuyu kuli njamwe, makamaka kuli njamwe Mwami Agilipa, kwambeti mpani ngancana makani akulemba twamwipusha ipushako.
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
Pakwinga ndalacaneti nkacinyamfwa kutuma kaili, kwakubula kusansulula cena mulandu ngwakute.”
