Acts 24

1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

Hakumana mazuva akwana iyanza, Ananiyasi mulena wamapulisita, nivamwi vakulwana, ni mutoroki yosumpwa Teretulo, vava yendi ko. Ava vakwame vava leti mulandu kuhambiliza Paulusi kumu vusisi.

2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your foresight reforms are coming to this nation,

Linu Paulusi hazimana havusu vwa muvusisi, Teretulo chatanga kumu hambiliza imi chati kwa musisi,” Chevaka lyako twina inkozo inkando; imikuvona kwako kuvaleti kuzakwa chincha mwinkanda yetu;

3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

ku litumela kwetu konse tuamuhela zintu zonse zopanga, ukondise Felekisi.

4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.

Ili kuti senzi niku viki mwintolongo hape ni kamuta, ni ku kumbila cha vufuhi uniteke cha kuluka.

5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

Kakuti twawana uzo mukwame kuti njo memeza yoletiseze maJuda mwinkanda yonse kusandukila muvuso. Njiyena muyendisi wa Nazarene i keluhite.

6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,

Ava liki kusitatalisa itempele; cwale cha suminwa. Imi tuva kusaka kumu atula che nkatulo yetu.

7 but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

8 commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

Kono muyendisi chasika chenkaani chivamuhinda munza etu, hamuvuza Paulusi heyi indava, ni nwe kamuwole kulituta ka chituva hambilizi kacho.”

9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

Majuda nivakopene vava hambilinzi Paulusi, navo, michivamba kuti izi zintu ivali kusakusimwa.

10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,

Kono linu muvusisi hasumpa Paulusi kuti zawambe, Paulusi chetava, “Ni zuwisisa kuti kazilimo zingi uvali umuatuli weyi inkanda. imi cwale nilitule kulitoloka kwaako.

11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.

U wola kuvonisisa kuti kena kuva hitilili mazuva akwana ikumi ni wovele chinga niva yendi kukalapela mwa Jerusalema;

12 In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.

imi linu havaniwana mwi kereke, kana niva kanani ni muntu, kana niva susuezi chichava, ni haike mumasinagoge, kapa mumuleñi;

13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

imi hape kava woli kuleta vupaki kwenu vwe ndava zivava hambilizi hewulu lyangu hanu.

14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Law, and which are written in the Prophets;

Kono ni litumelele izi kwenu, kakuya che nzila iva sumpa kukeluha, mwinzila iswana ni seveleza Ireeza uva kuku wetu. Ni sepahala ku zonse za mulao ni ziva ñolwa kuvaporofita.

15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.

Ni na insepo iswana kwa Ireeza, ili njava vakwame naavo muvayilindile, kukeza kuvuka kwa vaantu vafwile, kuvalukite ni vasalukite;

16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.

imi mweezi, ni tenda kuti nive nizwalo nikusa nyazahala havusu vwa Ireeza ni vaantu muzintu zonse.

17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

Linu hakuhita zilimo zingi china leta intuso kwi nkanda yangu ni impo ya masheleñi.

18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.

Lyahanu ha nitenda izi, vamwi kumaJuda vazwa mwa Asia chivani wana ni joloza mikiti mwi kereke, insiñi cha chichava kapa chakukamba.

19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.

Ava vakwame vaswanela kwiza havusu vwako hahanu mi zeva wambe zivani lwisikiza, heva vena chimwi.

20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

Heva njovulyo, ava vakwame vaswanela kuwamba vuvi vuva wana kwangu hana zima havusu vwe nkuta ya majuda;

21 unless it is for this one thing that I shouted out standing among them, 'Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today.'"

haisi konji kuti i amana nechi chintu chonke chini vawambi chakutumusa hanivazimene mukati kavo,' kuamana nikubuka kuva fwile kuni kwete kuatwilwa sunu kwenu.

22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, "When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case."

Felekisi ava kwizi kuamana ni nzila, imi cha twala havusu intomelo yakwe. Chawamba, “inako ni nako Lysiyasi muyendisi wa masole hakeza hansi kuzwa kwa Jerusalema, kani atule muzeko wako.”

23 He ordered the centurion that he should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

Linu mukulwana chalaela mulauli kuti a gantele Paulusi, kono uswanela kumu vavalela, mi kakwina yo swanela kukanisa valikani vakwe kumutusa kapa kumupotela.

24 But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

Hakuhita mazuva, Felexisi chavola ni Durusicila mwihyavwe, wa mujuda, imi chatumika Paulusi imi avazuwi kwa kuamana nintumelo kwa Jesu Keresite.

25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you."

Kono Paulusi havali kulikananisa naye kuamana ni, kuliyendisa umwine, ni inkatulo ikezite, Felekisi chezilwa kutya mi chati, “Muyende uko hanu. Kono chi na wana chivaka chinekalakala, ka nimi sumpe.”

26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.

Chenako iswana avali kuzeza kuti Paulusi kamuhe masheliñi, inako ni nako ava kutumina kwakwe niku wamba naye.

27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

Kono linu zilimo zovele hazihita, Posiyasi Fesitasi cheza kuva muvusisi hakuzwa Felekisi, kono Felikisi ava kusaka kuti asakahale ahulu kumaJuda, cwale chasiya Paulusi kuti azwile havusu mwi ntolongo.
