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.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ márùn-ún Anania olórí àlùfáà náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn alàgbà àti ẹnìkan, Tertulu agbẹjọ́rò, ẹni tí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ẹjọ́ Paulu fún baálẹ̀.
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,
Nígbà tí a sí tí pè Paulu jáde, Tertulu gbé ẹjọ́ rẹ̀ kalẹ̀ níwájú Feliksi ó wí pé, “Àwa ti wà ní àlàáfíà ní abẹ́ ìjọba rẹ láti ìgbà pípẹ́ wá, àti pé ìfojúsùn rẹ ti mú àyípadà rere bá orílẹ̀-èdè yìí.
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Ní ibi gbogbo àti ní ọ̀nà gbogbo, Feliksi ọlọ́lá jùlọ, ní àwa ń tẹ́wọ́gbà á pẹ̀lú ọpẹ́ gbogbo.
4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí èmi má ba á dá ọ dúró pẹ́ títí, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ kí o fi ìyọ́nú rẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ díẹ̀ lẹ́nu wa.
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.
“Nítorí àwa rí ọkùnrin yìí, ó jẹ́ oníjàngbàn ènìyàn, ẹni tí ó ń dá rúkèrúdò sílẹ̀ láàrín gbogbo àwọn Júù tí ó wà ní gbogbo ayé. Òun ni aṣáájú búburú kan nínú ẹ̀yà àwọn Nasarene,
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
ẹni tí ó gbìyànjú láti ba tẹmpili jẹ́.
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."
Nígbà tí ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ bá wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ fínní fínní lẹ́nu rẹ̀, ìwọ ó lè ní òye òtítọ́ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí àwa fi ẹ̀sùn rẹ̀ kàn án.”
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Àwọn Júù pẹ̀lú sì fi ohùn sí i wí pé, ní òtítọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nǹkan wọ̀nyí rí.
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,
Nígbà tí baálẹ̀ ṣẹ́wọ́ sì i pé kí ó sọ̀rọ̀, Paulu sì dáhùn wí pe, “Bí mo tí mọ̀ pé láti ọdún mélòó yìí wá, ní ìwọ tí ṣe onídàájọ́ orílẹ̀-èdè yìí, nítorí náà mo fi tayọ̀tayọ̀ wí tí ẹnu mi.
11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Ìwọ pẹ̀lú sì ní òye rẹ̀ pé, ìjejìlá ni mo lọ sí Jerusalẹmu láti lọ jọ́sìn.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn olùfisùn mi kò rí mi kí ń máa bá ẹnikẹ́ni jiyàn nínú tẹmpili, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò ru àwọn ènìyàn sókè nínú Sinagọgu tàbí ní ibikíbi nínú ìlú.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kò lè fi ìdí ẹ̀sùn múlẹ̀ níwájú rẹ, èyí tí wọn fi mí sùn sí nísinsin yìí.
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;
Ṣùgbọ́n, èmí jẹ́wọ́ fún ọ pé, èmi ń sin Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wa gẹ́gẹ́ bí èmi ti ń tẹ̀lé ọ̀nà tí wọ́n ń pè ni ìyapa ìsìn. Èmi ń gbá gbogbo nǹkan ti a kọ sínú ìwé òfin gbọ́, àti tí a kọ sínú ìwé àwọn wòlíì,
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
mo sí ní ìrètí kan náà nínú Ọlọ́run gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn tìkára wọn jẹ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú, wí pé àjíǹde òkú ń bọ̀, àti tí olóòtítọ́, àti tí aláìṣòótọ́.
16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
Nínú èyí ni èmi sì ti ń gbìyànjú láti ní ẹ̀rí ọkàn tí kò lẹ́sẹ̀ sí Ọlọ́run, àti sí ènìyàn nígbà gbogbo.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
“Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ọdún púpọ̀, mo wá sí Jerusalẹmu láti mu ẹ̀bùn wá fún àwọn ènìyàn mi fún aláìní àti láti fi ọrẹ lélẹ̀.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Nínú ṣíṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n rí mí nínú ìyẹ̀wù tẹmpili, bí mo ti ń parí ètò ìwẹ̀nù, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kì í ṣe ní àárín àwùjọ ènìyàn, tàbí pẹ̀lú ariwo.
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Júù kan láti ẹkùn Asia wà níbẹ̀, àwọn tí ìbá wà níhìn-ín yìí níwájú rẹ, kí wọn já mi nírọ́, bí wọ́n bá ní ohunkóhun sí mi.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Bí kò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, jẹ́ kí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí tìkára wọn sọ iṣẹ́ búburú tí wọ́n rí lọ́wọ́ mi, nígbà tí mo dúró níwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀.
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.'"
Bí kò ṣe tí gbólóhùn kan yìí, tí mo kégbe rẹ̀ síta nígbà tí mo dúró láàrín wọn: ‘Èyí ni tìtorí àjíǹde òkú ni a ṣe ba mi wíjọ́ lọ́dọ̀ yín ló ni yìí!’”
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."
Nígbà tí Feliksi gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, òye sá à ye é ní àyétán nípa ọ̀nà náà; ó tú wọn ká ná, ó ní, “Nígbà tí Lisia olórí ogun bá sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, èmi ó wádìí ọ̀ràn yín dájú.”
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.
Ó sì pàṣẹ fún balógun ọ̀run kan kí ó máa ṣe ìtọ́jú Paulu, kí ó fún un ní ààyè, àti pé kí ó má ṣe dá àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ lẹ́kun láti máa ṣe ìránṣẹ́ fún un.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mélòó kan Feliksi pẹ̀lú Drusilla ìyàwó rẹ̀ dé, obìnrin tí í ṣe Júù. Ó ránṣẹ́ pé Paulu, ó sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ lẹ́nu rẹ̀ nípa ìgbàgbọ́ nínú Kristi Jesu.
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."
Bí Paulu sì tí ń sọ àsọyé nípa tí òdodo àti àìrékọjá àti ìdájọ́ tí ń bọ̀, ẹ̀rù ba Feliksi, ó dáhùn wí pé, “Èyí tí o sọ nì tó ná! Máa lọ nísinsin yìí ná. Nígbà tí mo bá sì ní àkókò tí ó wọ̀, èmi ó ránṣẹ́ pè ọ́.”
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.
Ní àkókò yìí kan náà, ó ń retí pẹ̀lú pé Paulu yóò mú owó ẹ̀yìn wá fún òun, kí òun ba à lè dá a sílẹ̀, nítorí náà a sì máa ránṣẹ́ sì í nígbàkígbà, a máa bá a sọ̀rọ̀.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ọdún méjì, Porkiu Festu rọ́pò Feliksi, Feliksi sì ń fẹ́ ṣe ojúrere fún àwọn Júù, ó fi Paulu sílẹ̀ nínú túbú.
