Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Nga Festo ajingii mu'jimbo lee na baada ya masoba matatu kayenda boka Kaisaria mpaka Yerusalemu.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Kuhani nkolo na Bayahudi mashuhuri bannetike mashitaka dhidi ya Paulo kwa Festo, na batilongela kwa nguvu kwa Festo.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
Na bannobia Festo fadhili nnani ya habari za Paulo apate kunkema Yerusalemu ili bapate kumulaga mundela.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Lakini Festo kaayangwa panga abile mfungwa katika Kaisaria, na panga ywembe mwene alowa kerebuka kolyo haraka.
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."
Abaya “Kwa eyo, balo ambao baweza, waweza kuyenda kolyo ni twenga. Mana kibile kilebe kibaya kwa mundu yolo, mpalikwa kunshitakia.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Baada ya tama masoba nane au komi zaidi, atikerebuka Kaiaria. Na lisoba lyanyaibele atami katika iteo cha hukumu na kuamuru Paulo aletwe kwake.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Paaikite, Ayahudi boka Yerusalemu bayemi papipi, batoa mashitaka ganyansima mazito ambayo baweza kwaa kugathibitisha.
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."
Paulo atijitetea no baya,'ni nnani kwaa ya lina lya Ayahudi, nnani kwaa ya lihekalu, na nnani kwaa ya Kaisari, nipangite mabaya.'
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
Lakini Petro apala kujipendekeza kwa Ayahudi, na nyoo kayangwa Paulo kwa baya,'Je, upala kuyenda Yerusalemu na hukumilwa na nenga kuhusu makowe aga huko?'
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 kabaya,'Nayema nnongi ya iteo cha hukumu cha Kaisari ambapo nipalikwa hukumilwa. Nawakosea kwaa Ayahudi, kati wenga utangite vema.
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."
Mana itei nimekosa na mana nipangite chastahilia kiwo, nikanikiya kwaa kubulagwa. Lakini mana mashitaka gabe ni kilebe kwaa, ntopo mundu ywaweza kunikabidhi kwao. Nannoba Kaisari.'
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
Baada Festo kulongela na libaraza kayangwa, “unnoba Kaisari, walowa yenda kwa Kaisari.”
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
Baada ya masoba kadhaa, mpwalume Agripa na Barnike baikite Kaisara kupanga ziara rasmi kwa Festo.
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;
Baada ya tama hapo kwa masoba ganyansima, Festo atiwasilisha kesi ya Paulo kwa Mpwalume, Kabaya,'Mundu yumo alekitwe pano na Feliki kati mfungwa.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Panibile Yerusalemu makuhani akolo na apindo ba Ayahudi bannetike mashitaka nnani ya mundu yolo kwango, na bembe banaluya nnani ya hukumu yake.
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.
Kwa lee nenga naayangite panga ni desturi kwaa ya Aroma kumtoa mundu kwa upendeleo badala yake, mtuhumiwa apalikwa kuwa na nafasi ya kugakabili bashitaki bake na kujitetea nnani ya tuhuma zake.
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.
Kwa eyo pabaisile pamope pano. niweza kwaa subiri, lakini lisoba lyake lyanyaibele natama pa iteo cha hukumu na kuamuru mundu yolo aletwe ndabi.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Muda bashitaki bake bayemi na kunshitaki, nilifikiri panga ntopo mashitaka makolo gabile nnani yake.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Badala yake, babile na mabishano fulani pamope ni ywembe kuhusu dini yao na kuhusu Yesu ambaye ywaawile, lakini Paulo abaya kuwa abile nkoto.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Nibile nitangite kwaa namna ya kuchunguza likowe lee, na ninnaluye mana alowa yenda Yerusalemu kuhukumilwa nnani ya makowe aga.
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."
Lakini Paulo paakemelwa abekwe pae ya ulinzi kwa ajili ya uamuzi wa Mpwalume, niliamuru abekwe hata panimpelekeye kwa Kaisari.'
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."
Agripa atilongela na Festo, “nipala yenda nanenga kumpekania mundu yolo.” Festo kabaya, “walowa mpekania malabo.”
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.
Malao yake, Aripa na Bernike baikite na sherehe yanyansima; baikite katika ukumbi na maafisa ba majeshi, na bandu mashuhuri ba mji. Na Festo alipotoa amri, bannete Paulo kwao, Paulo aisile kwao.
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 Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Festo kabaya, “Mpwalume Agripa, na bandu bote ambao mubile pano pamope natwee, mwalolekeya mundu yolo; jumuiya yote ya Ayahudi kolyo Yerusalemu na pano bapala nibashauri, na bembe bakombwa ndoti kwango panga kana atame.
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.
Nibweni panga apangite kwaa lolote lyastahili bulagwa; lakini kwa sababu
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.
akemelwa na Mpwalume, niliamua kumpeleka kwake. Lakini nibile ntopo kilebe cha kuandika kwa Mpwalume. Kwa sababu yee, ninnetike kwako, hasa kwako wenga, Mpwalume Agripa, ili nipate kuwa na kilebe sa kuandika kuhusu kesi.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Kwa mana nibweni ibile kwaa na maana kumpeleka mfungwa na bila kugabona mashitaka yanayomkabili.
