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.
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 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,
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 be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency 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 a pestilent fellow, and a mover 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 who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold:
ẹni tí ó gbìyànjú láti ba tẹmpili jẹ́.
8 from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to take knowledge of all these things, whereof 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 And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.
Àwọn Júù pẹ̀lú sì fi ohùn sí i wí pé, ní òtítọ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nǹkan wọ̀nyí rí.
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:
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 thou canst take knowledge, 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 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.
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 Neither can they prove to thee the things whereof 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 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:
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 shall 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 Herein do I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men alway.
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 many years I came to bring alms 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 amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia—
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 who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught 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 wrong-doing they found, 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 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.
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 chief captain shall come down, I will determine your matter.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed 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 favour 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.
