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.
Gakapiteje mobha nng'ano, Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila a Anania gubhaelelenje kukopoka ku Kaishalia na bhanangulungwa bhananji na nkubheleketa jumo lina lyakwe Tetulo. Gubhaajendelenje bhakulungwa bha shilambo bhala gubhaalugulenje ga a Pauli.
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,
A Pauli gubhashemilwe na bhakulungwa a Pelikishi, a Tetulo gubhatandwibhe kwaalugula bhalinkuti. “Mmakulungwa a Pelikishi, kwa longoya kwenu ukoto, ulele unalonjeya na nnapanganya ya mmbone kubhandu bhetu.
3 we accept it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
Bhai, tunakuliposhela lyene lilobheli kila mmbali na kwa mobha gowe kwa kwiinonyela akuno tulipunda kuntendela eja.
4 But not to detain thee too long, I pray thee to hear us, in thy clemency, a few words.
Ikabheje, ngunantotoye kwa kubheleketeya, tunakunnjuga ntupilikanishiye kwa uguja gwenu malobhe getu.
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;
Tushing'amula kuti aju munduju jwa jogoya kwa kaje. Jwalakwe anakumbuya nnjasha munkumbi gwa Bhayaudi kila mmbali pa shilambolyo na kabhili ni kalongolele nkulu jwa shikundi sha dini sha Bhanashaleti.
6 who also attempted to profane the temple, and we apprehended him;
Na kabhili ashinkulinga kulitukana liekalu, gutunkamwile.”
Ikabheje a Lushiani bhakulungwa bha manjola gubhaishe kutupokonyola kwa mashili ga punda mmakono getu.
8 and from him thou canst thyself ascertain by examination all these things of which we accuse him.
Kungai gubhaalajilenje bhakunnugulanga jwene munduju bhajiyangane kungwenu mmwe. Monaga mpingaga mummuye mmayene shimumanye kuti yowe itukunnugulai ya kweli.
9 And the Jews also joined in the charges against him, affirming that these things were so.
Na bhalabhonji Bhayaudi gubhatajilenje shionde kuti malobhe gowe ga kweli.
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;
Bhai, bhakulungwa bha shilambo bhakaalanguleje nkono nkupinga bhabhelekete, a Pauli gubhashite, “Pabha nimumanyi kuti mmwe nshibha mmaukumula bha sheshino shilambo shino kwa yaka yaigwinji inanonyela melekete namwene nkwitapula.
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.
Mmayene mmumanyi kuti gakanabhepita mobha likumi na gabhili tandubhila punyombweshe ku Yelushalemu kukwatindibhalila a Nnungu.
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;
Abha bhandunjibha bhangamonanga nne nniekalu ngulitaukangana naka mundu jojowe. Bhangang'imananga niliikwiya bhandu kutenda nnjasha nniekalu, wala mmashinagogi, wala popowe pala nshilambomo.
13 nor can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
Na wala bhakaakombolanga kong'ondela ibhanugulangai.
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;
Ikabhe shingukunda kungwenu mmwe ashino. Nne ngunakwaatindibhalila a Nnungu bha ashinakulubhetu kwa kulupalila mpanda gubhakuushemanga bhanganyanjibha kuti shikundi sha dini ja unami. Ngunakulupalila yowe ijandikwe mwiitabhu ya shalia ja a Musha na itabhu ya ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
15 having a hope in God, which they themselves also entertain, that there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Nne ngunakwaakulupalila a Nnungu, na malinga bhanganyibha bhakwetenje ngulupai jojo, ja kuti bhanguja na bhaalebhanga, shibhayukanje.
16 On this ground do I also myself strive to have always a conscience void of offence toward God and toward men.
Kwa nneyo mobha gowe ngunakwiobhelesheya kutenda kila shingukombola sha uguja kwa a Nnungu na ku bhandunji.
17 And after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to make offerings;
“Ngatameje kwataliya kwa yaka yaigwinji, gumbite ku Yelushalemu ngaajangutilanje bhashilambo ajangunji na ngashoye mbepei.
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]],
Gubhang'imenenje nniekalu ngulitenda genego, nguli niikonjeleye kwa a Nnungu. Lukapaaliji lugwinjili lwa bhandu wala ya nnjasha.
19 who ought to be here before thee, and make their charge, if they had aught against me.
Ikabheje bhapalinji Bhayaudi bhananji bhakopokengene ku Ashia, bhanganyabho ni bhapinjikwangaga kubha apano bhanugulanje monaga shipali shoshowe sha nugula kwenu mmwe.
20 Or, let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the council,
Eu, ashaayene pebha bhalugulanje shinebhile nne shibhashibhweninji punajimi pa lukumbi lwabhonji,
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.
ikabhe ngajimeje pakati jabhonji ga bheleketa shindu shimo, ‘Nnang'ukumulanga lelo juno ga ligongo lya kulupalila kuti bhawilenje shibhayuywanje!’”
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.
Penepo a Pelikishi pabha bhajimanyi ukoto ngani ja gwene mpanda gula, gubhaunishile malobhe gala bhalinkuti, “Shimaliye malobhe genunji pushibhaishe bhakulungwa bha bhakomana ngondo a Lishiashi.”
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.
Kungai gubhannajile nkulungwa jwa manjola abhabhishe a Pauli muulinda, ikabheje guna bhanaaibhilile kukopoka palanga na ashaabhwiga ajabhonji wala bhanalimbiywanje kwaapa ibhapinga.
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.
Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, a Pelikishi gubhaishe na akongobhabho a Dulushila bhaaliji Bhayaudi. Gubhalajile a Pauli bhashemwe, gubhaapilikanishiye bhalibheleketa ngani ja kwaakulupalila a Yeshu Kilishitu.
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.
Ikabheje a Pauli bhakatandubheje kubheleketa ga uguja na gangakwebhela indu na kuti shilijiye ika lyubha lya ukumu, a Pelikishi gubhajogwepe, gubhashite, “Nnaino nnjende, mbataga malanga shininsheme.”
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.
Na kabhili pubhaganishiyaga kuti shibhapegwe ela na a Pauli. Kwa nneyo gubhapundile kwashemashema a Pauli kuukunguluka nabho.
27 But after two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and Felix, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, left Paul bound.
Ikapiteje yaka ibhili, a Poshiashi Peshito gubhatolile shitengu sha upalume gwa shilambo. Na nkupinga kuikonjeleya ku Bhayaudi, gubhaaleshile a Pauli bhali bhatabhilwepe.
