Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Urishlim from Qesarya.
Lino Fesitasi wakanjila mubwami, alimwi musule lyamazuba otatwe wakazwa ku Kkayisalia kaya kuJelusalemu.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Bapayizi bapati abapati bama Juda bakeeta twaambo twakubejelezya Pawulo, alimwi bakabuzya Fesitasi changuzu.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Urishlim; plotting to kill him on the way.
Bakakumbila Fesitasi kuti abape buuya aatala aPawulo kuti amwiite kuJelusalemu nkaambo bakakanza kumuyubilila kuti bamujaye.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Qesarya, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Fesitasi wakasandula kuti, Pawulo wakalijiswi ku Kkayisalia, alimwi we lwakwe ulabweeda nkuko muchiindi chifwiifwi.
5 "Let them therefore," he said, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."
“Nkenkaako aabo bakonzya,” wakaamba “Balayinka andiswe nkuko, na kakuli chintu chitaluleme aatala ayooyu mwaalumi, muleleede kumupa mulandu.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Qesarya, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Fesitasi naakakkala mazuba musanu aatatu kuyosika kukumi lyamzuba, wakayinka ku Kkayisalia, alimwi muzuba lyakatobela wakakkala achuuno chalubeta akulayilila kuti Pawulo aletwe kulinguwe.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Urishlim stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Naakasika, bama Juda baku Jelusalemu nibakayima afwiifwi, akuleta twaambo tuyumu ntobakali kukonzya kupeda bukamboni.
8 while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."
Pawulo wakalikwabilila akwaamba kuti, “Taakwe mulandu ngondakachita akukazyania aamulawu waba Juda nekuba uukazyania ang'anda yaLeza nekuba Kkayisala
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Urishlim, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
Pesi Fesitasoi wakalikuyanda kulumbwa kuba Juda, alimwi wakasandula Pawulo wati, “Ulayanda na kwiinka kuyobetekwa andime ku Jelusalemu aatala azeezi?”
10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Pawulo wakasandula skuti, “Ndilayima kunembo lyachuuno chalubeta cha Kkayisala ooko nkwenjele kubetekwa. Taakwe baJuda mbendakabisizya, mbuli mbomuzi kabotu kabotu.
11 For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."
Nakuti ndachita bubi akuti ndachita cheetelezya lufu tandikaki pe kufwa. Pesi kakuli kuti twwambo twabo katuli twabuyo, taakwe naba omwe uukonzya kundaaba kuli mbabo. Ndayi Kkayisala.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go."
Fesitasi naakambula ankamu yakwe wakavuwa wati, “Wakumbila kuyoobetekwa kuli Kkayisala, aboobo uliinka kuli Kkayisala.”
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Qesarya, and greeted Festus.
Lino nikwakayinda mazuba, Mwami Agilipa a Bbenisi bakasika ku Kkayisaliya kuzoswayila Fesitasi.
14 As they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Nikwakayinda mazuba miingbi kabali nkuko, Fesitasi wakatula kaambo ka Pawulo ku mwami, wakati, “Umwi mwaalumi wakasiigwa okuno aFelekisi kali mwaange.
15 about whom, when I was at Urishlim, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Nindakali mu Jelusalemu bapayizi bapati abapati baba Juda bakeeta twaambo tukazyania ayooyu mwaalumi kulindime, akukumbila kuti apegwe mulandu.
16 To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense against the charge.
Ndakavwiila kuti tachili muchiyanza chaba Roma pe kwaaba muntu wabikwa kaambo, katanalangana aabo bakamubika kaambo, akujana chiindi chakulyaambilila mulandu ngobamupede.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Nkenkaako, nimbakabunga okuno, teendakachedwa pe, pesi nibwakacha ndakakkala achuuno chakubeteka akulayilila kui mwaalumi ooyo aletwe.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Nebanyampuka basikumupa mulandu, teebakamupa mulandu mboli mbundakali kulangilila pe.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Yeshua, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Nekuba kuti bakali amibuzyo imwi yankombelo yabo beni, ayamuntu uutegwa Jesu wakafwa ngwasinizya Pawulo kuti muumi.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Urishlim and there be judged concerning these matters.
Lino mbendakatalikwe bwiini akubuzisisya makani aliboobu, ndakabuzya kuti ulayanda na kuya kuJelusalemu akabetekwe aatala azeezi zintu.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."
Pesi Pawulo naakakumbila kuti asisigwe lwamwami mupati, ndakalayilila kuti alindwe mane nkamutimizye kuli Kkayisala.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."
Agilipa wakati kuli Fesitasi, “Ambebo ndilayanda kumumvwa mwaalumi ooyu.” “Juunza,” wakasandula Fesitasi, “ulamumvwa.”
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Nkabela muzuba lyakatobela, Agilipa a Bbenisi bakasika abulemu bupati; bakasika mung'anda yakuswiilizya amntoomwe abasilumamba bapati abapati bamuchisi. Fesitasi nakalayilila, Pawulo wakeetwa kuli mbab.
24 And Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all people who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Urishlim and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Fesitasi wakati, “Omwami Agilipa, andinywe moonse nobaluumi nimuli aamwi andiswe aano, mwamubona mwaalumi ooyu, muntu ngundakakambilwa aba Juda ku jelusalemu akookuno alimwi bakoompolola kulindime kuti tacheelede pe kupona.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
Ndakajana kuti taakwe chintu nchaakachita cheelede lufu; pesi nkaambo kakulikumbilila kumwami mupati, ndakakanza kumutumina.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.
Pesi nsikwe majwi abukamboni akulembela mwami wangu. Nkaambo kaako nchindamweta kulindinywe, ikapati kunembo lyako Mwami Agilipa, kuti ndijane zyakulemba aatala amulandu ooyu.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Kwabaanga mbufubafuba kulindime kuti nditumine mwaange, alimwi kataambilidwe milandu njatamizizigwe.”
