Acts 24
1 And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they informed the governor against Paul.
Vufilutile ifighono fihano, unaniya utnekhenchi umbaha, mungaati mbavaha avagogoto na unchofi yumo uvievita vie teltulo, akhaluta pala. avanu avaa vagheghile einongwa iya pavuli khukuludeva.
2 And when he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by thy providence evils are corrected for this nation,
Upavuli vuiemile pavulongolo pa nkuludeva, uteltulo akhatengula ukhunsitanki nu khujoova khwa nkhuludeva, “ulwakhuva veve tulienulu nonchehencho uluvaha, khumasagho alinienyevonekhelo ghagho aghighegha uvusyetulo uvunonu mnkilunga kyietu;
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Khulusano iwoni tukwupielila khilakhinu iekyuvuvomba, nikhukhuponia viendwanchiwa feliki.
4 But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.
Saniekhakhusakhinche ukhulutiliela, nikhukhudova wiemulihinche ninchove padebe agiilocha khulyuve.
5 For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Ulwakhuva umunu uyu imbivi hange insongelehani veikhuvavikha ava-yahudi voni ukwitengha khilunga hanghe viendonghonchi vamipelela igya va-wanazoloyo.
6 who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold:
Hange agelile ukhuviekha wuvivi mpelela pwutukhamwibata, uvusimolie mumbusimbe uvunonu awakatale). (nchingahiencha; uvusimbe uvwu
Lisiasi, likhuludeva, ainchile akhantola khumakha mumavokho gietu, na mumbusimbe uwavighwle vunonu uwakhatale).
8 from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
Ungambunche upavuli kyumbmboinchi sakhalumanye khulikhikhi akhinu eikyuvikhung'iega”.
9 And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.
Avayahudi vope vakhansitakha upavuli, v akhata imbombo inchi nchikhale ncha lweli.
10 And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do cheerfully make my defence:
Untwa akhinula ikhivokho ukhuta upavuli anchove, upavuli akhamula, “nilumanyile ukhuta khwu mijiaka imingi ukhale ndamuli vakhilunga iekhi, nilienuluhekhelo ukiviyelesya yune khulyuve.
11 seeing that thou canst take knowledge, that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:
Vukhuluanya ukhuta safilutile ifighoono khinchigo na fivile ukhuhuma upunalutile khukwiesaya kuyelusalemu.
12 and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.
Vuvambwene muntembile, sanakanihane numunu, khange sanavombe uvugalo mnkutano, numumipelela na munkilunga;
13 Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
Na savakhawesye ukhunchova vwayile khunongwa iinchuvikhung'iega une.
14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the Way which they call a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets:
Ulwakhuva paiele nikwiedika khulyuve, ukhuta khulungendo lula uluvaeilangile umpelela, khulungeendo lululwa nikhumbombe laga u Nguluve uvadada veitu. une nilimwiedikhi khugooni agaalindlagielo na mbusiimbe uwavanyamalongo.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.
Nilienamakha galagala khwa u Nguluve, uguu na vope vikhunchuka uwavafwile, khuvoni avalivuvuli imbivi na avalienimbivi voni;
16 Herein do I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men alway.
khwu ilie nayune ni vomba imbomba khuta nive ninumbu inchiilambivi pavulongolo wa Nguluve napamiho pavano ukhugeendele imbombo nchoni.
17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:
Leino vugielutile imyakha vugielutilile ninchile kuleta ulutangielo nkiilunga kyago nukhuvonola nindalama.
18 amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia—
Navile nievombile iewo, avayahudi avange avakhu asia vakhambona vunielinduhekhelo ulwa wumi mungaati mutembile, vuvasipali avanu vingi khange pakhava myiee.
19 who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me.
Avanu ava uvuvakhanogile ukhuva pamiho ghakho lieno ulwa vanchove ukyuvalienakyo ikyango ndavalienesela ayavinchaga.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found, when I stood before the council,
Apange avanu ava vanchove eikyuniekhanangile iekyuvakhiwene khulyune vuneimile pavulongolo pavuhigii uwa va yahudi;
21 except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question before you this day.
Ukhuva nikhanchovile iekhinu khimo khumakha upwuniekhimile pagati pavene, “ulwakhuva uvuchukha uwavafue umwe mukhung'iega.”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.
Ufeliki akhavuliwe vunonu injiela, pwakhae lulekha ululundamano akhanchova “lisia nkuludeva akhiva itolga ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu pwuyunilamu ukhuhiegiwa khulyume.”
23 And he gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister unto him.
Pwu akahalamuta untwa andolelage upavuli, hange ave nunsiekhi alekhe umunu uvakhuvabencha avamanyani vamwene ukhuta valekhe ukhuntanga hange valekhe ukhungeendela.
24 But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, which was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Vufilutile ifighono fidebe akhincha undala vamwene u-dlusila uviale injahudi, khasuha khukhumwianga upavuli apulihinche amamenyu agalwidiko mungaati wa klisite uyesu.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.
Upavuli vuvinchovana numwene mumbulweli, ukhuleka ukhulutilila akhiva vilamula pavuhighi uvukwincha, ufeliki akhava nuvundwanchi akhamula, “lutaka khuvutali lino, nienghapate unsiekhe nikhukwilangha.
26 He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
unsiekhe ugwaa ahuile ukhuta upavuli ikhumpa indalama pwa akhamwilangha khanghe akhachova nave.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favour with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Imyaka ghewile vughisilile, upolkio ufesto akhava nuntwa khandekha efeliki, ulwakhuva ufeliki unogwa ukwihegelencha khuvayahudi, pwakandekha upavuli mwondyongomencho.
