Acts 24
1 And after five days Ananias, the high-priest, came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus; and they brought a complaint before the governor against Paul.
Sima na mikolo mitano, Ananiasi, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ayaki na Sezarea, elongo na ndambo ya bakambi mpe molobeli Tertile, mpo na kofunda Polo epai ya moyangeli.
2 And when he had been called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that improvements are in every way and everywhere taking place in this nation through thy foresight,
Tango babengisaki Polo, Tertile akomaki kofunda ye liboso ya Felikisi na maloba oyo: — Tata moyangeli Felikisi, ezali mpo na yo nde tozali na kimia ya solo, mpe mpo na bwanya na yo nde mbongwana ya solo ekota kati na ekolo oyo.
3 we accept it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
Tata moyangeli Felikisi, na bisika nyonso mpe na tango nyonso, tondimaka yango mpe totondaka yo mingi penza.
4 But not to detain thee too long, I pray thee to hear us, in thy clemency, a few words.
Kasi, tolingi te kozwa yo tango molayi. Nabondeli yo: salela biso ngolu ya koyoka biso na mwa tango moke.
5 For we have found this man to be a pest, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes;
Biso, tomoni ete mosala ya moto oyo ezali: kotia mobulu; azali kobimisa mobulu kati na Bayuda nyonso ya mokili mobimba. Azali mokambi ya lingomba moko ya bato ya Nazareti,
6 who also attempted to profane the temple, and we apprehended him;
mpe amekaki kutu kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo, yango wana tokangaki ye. [Tozalaki na posa ya kosambisa ye kolanda Mobeko na biso,
kasi Lisiasi, mokonzi ya basoda, ayaki mpe abotolaki ye na maboko na biso na makasi.
8 and from him thou canst thyself ascertain by examination all these things of which we accuse him.
Apesaki bato oyo bafundaki ye mitindo ete baya epai na yo.] Soki yo moko otuni ye mituna, okososola ete makambo oyo tofundeli ye ezali ya solo.
9 And the Jews also joined in the charges against him, affirming that these things were so.
Bayuda babetaki sete na makambo oyo bafundelaki ye.
10 Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Since I know that thou hast been for many years a judge for this nation, I answer for myself cheerfully;
Tango moyangeli apesaki Polo nzela ya koloba, Polo azongisaki: — Nayebi solo ete ozali mosambisi ya ekolo oyo wuta mibu ebele. Boye, nazali na esengo ya kosamba liboso na yo.
11 for it is in thy power to ascertain that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
Yo moko okoki koluka koyeba malamu ete eleki nanu mikolo zomi na mibale te wuta nakendeki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosambela Nzambe.
12 And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any one, or stirring up a tumult of the people, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
Mpe bato oyo bafundi ngai batikala nanu kokuta ngai te nazali kotia tembe na moto to nazali kotindika bato ete batomboka, ezala kati na Tempelo to kati na bandako ya mayangani to mpe kati na engumba.
13 nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
Bakolonga mpe te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo oyo bafundeli ngai sik’oyo.
14 But this I acknowledge to thee, that according to the way [[of belief]] which they call a sect, so do I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and by the Prophets;
Nzokande, nandimi ete nasalelaka Nzambe ya bakoko na biso, wana nazali kolanda Nzela oyo bango bazali kobenga « binzambe-nzambe. » Nandimaka nyonso oyo ekomama kati na Mobeko mpe kati na mikanda ya basakoli.
15 having a hope in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Boye ngai, ndenge moko na bango, nazalaka na elikya na Nzambe ete bato nyonso bakosekwa, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
16 On this ground do I also myself strive to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward men.
Yango wana, ngai mpe nasalaka tango nyonso makasi mpo na kobatela motema na ngai peto, liboso ya Nzambe mpe liboso ya bato.
17 And after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to make offerings;
Sima na ngai kosala mibu ebele na libanda ya Yelusalemi, nazongaki na mboka na ngai mpo na komemela bato bakelela ya ekolo na ngai lisungi, mpe mpo na kobonzela Nzambe makabo.
18 in doing which they found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd nor with tumult; but certain Jews from Asia [[caused it]],
Bakutaki ngai nasilisi komipetola kati na Tempelo; ezalaki na ebele ya bato te elongo na ngai, mobulu mpe te.
19 who ought to be here before thee, and make their charge, if they had aught against me.
Kasi ezali ndambo ya Bayuda ya Azia, oyo bazalaki wana, nde basengelaki kotelema liboso na yo mpo na kofunda ngai, soki solo bazwaki ngai na likambo.
20 Or, let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the council,
To mpe lisusu, tika ete bato oyo bazali awa baloba bango moko mabe oyo bazwaki ngai tango nasambaki liboso ya Likita-Monene,
21 except in relation to this one expression, which I uttered aloud while standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am tried before you this day.
longola kaka liloba oyo nabimisaki, wana natelemaki liboso na bango: « Bozali kosambisa ngai lelo mpo ete nandimaka ete bakufi bakosekwa! »
22 But Felix, having an accurate knowledge of the matters relating to this way [[of belief]], put them off, and said, When Lysias the chief captain cometh down, I will thoroughly examine your case.
Felikisi, oyo ayebaki malamu makambo oyo etali Nzela, azongisaki bango mpe alobaki: — Nakoyekola malamu likambo na bino tango mokonzi ya basoda, Lisiasi, akoya.
23 He also gave orders to the centurion to guard him, and let him have indulgence, and not to forbid any of his friends to do him service.
Boye, apesaki mitindo epai ya mokonzi ya basoda nkama moko ete abatela Polo lokola mokangami kati na boloko, kasi atikela ye mwa bonsomi mpe apesa bandeko na ye nzela mpo ete basunga ye.
24 And after some days, Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
Sima na mwa mikolo, Felikisi ayaki elongo na mwasi na ye, Drusiye, oyo azalaki Moyuda; abengisaki Polo mpe akomaki koyoka ye na tina na makambo oyo etali kondima kati na Yesu-Klisto.
25 And as he discoursed of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix became alarmed, and answered, Go thy way for the present; and when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
Kasi, wana Polo akomaki koloba na tina na bosembo, komikanga mpe kosambisama oyo ezali koya, Felikisi ayokaki somo mpe alobaki na ye: — Ekoki mpo na sik’oyo! Okoki kolongwa. Soki nazwi lisusu tango, nakobengisa yo.
26 He hoped also that money would be given him by Paul; on which account he sent for him the oftener, and conversed with him.
Felikisi azalaki kobengisa ye mbala na mbala mpo na kosolola na ye, na elikya ete Polo akopesa ye kanyaka.
27 But after two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and Felix, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, left Paul bound.
Sima na mibu mibale, Porsiusi Festisi akomaki moyangeli na esika ya Felikisi oyo, mpo na kosepelisa Bayuda, atikaki Polo kati na boloko.
