Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Urishlim from Qesarya.
Mpopalapita masuba atatu kufumina pa busuba mbwalashika mu cimpansha caYudeya, Fesito walafuma ku Kaisaleya walaya ku Yelusalemu
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Beshimilumbo bamakulene, pamo ne batangunishi Baciyuda, balamwambila Fesito milandu yonse njebalamubepesha Paulo. Balamukombelela Fesito,
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Urishlim; plotting to kill him on the way.
kwambeti amubweshe Paulo ku Yelusalemu. Balambeco pakwinga balikuyandeti bamushine pakwisa mu nshila.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Qesarya, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Nomba Fesito walabakumbuleti, “Paulo wasungilwa ku Kaisaleya uko nkondenga linolino apa.
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."
Neco, batangunishi benu twenga pamo ne njame ku Kaisaleya kwambeti benga bakamupe mulandu kopeloko na pali ncalensa caipa.”
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.
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 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,
Lino Paulo mpwalashika, Bayuda balafumina ku Yelusalemu balamushinguluka ne kwamba makani angi eshikutinisha, nomba baliyawa kucikonsha kupa bukamboni bwesulila.
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."
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 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?"
Nomba pakuyandeti Bayuda bamusune, Fesito walepusha Paulo, “Sena ngoyanda kuya ku Yelusalemu kwambeti nkoti nkakomboloshele?”
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.
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 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."
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, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall 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 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Qesarya, and greeted Festus.
Mpopalapita masuba ang'ana, Mwami Agilipa pamo ne Benisi nkash yakendi, balaya ku Kaisaleya, kuya kumufwakashila Fesito.
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;
Mpobalekalako masuba angi, Fesito walamwambila Mwami Agilipa ncewalikuba mulandu wa Paulo. Walambeti, “Kuli muntu kuno ngwalashiya Felekisi mujele.
15 about whom, when I was at Urishlim, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence 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 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.
Nomba ndalabambileti catondwa kuli njafwe Baloma. Pakwinga nkatukute kupa mulandu muntu uliyense kwakubula kumupa cindi cakulifuna pamenso pa abo balamupanga mulandu.
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.
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, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Beshikumupa mulandu mpobalanyamuka kutatika kwamba, baliya kwamba milandu yaipa ame njendalikuyeyeti njebalamuletele.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Yeshua, 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 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.
Ndalabula mwakucanina makani akubinga pa mulandu uwu, neco ndalepusha Paulo na ngoyanda kuya komboloshewa ku Yelusalemu.
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."
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 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."
Agilipa walambila Fesito, “Ne njame ndayandangeti nkalinyumfwile ndemwine kumuntuyu.” Fesito walakumbuleti, “Nimukalinyumfwile mobene lilo.”
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Nsombi ame pacakame, paliya caipa ncondalacana celela kumuletela lufu. Lino pakwinga walasengeti omboloshewe ne Mwami waku Loma, ndalayeyeti bakamutwale ku Loma.
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.
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 unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Pakwinga ndalacaneti nkacinyamfwa kutuma kaili, kwakubula kusansulula cena mulandu ngwakute.”
