Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Gakapiteje mobha gatatu ga uliwali gwabho, a Peshito gubhajabhwile ku Kaishalia gubhapite ku Yelushalemu.
2 And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi gubhaabhalanjilenje a Peshito ngani ja a Pauli. Gubhaashondelesheyenje a Peshito
3 asking favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying wait to kill him on the way.
na kwaajuga bhaatendelanje ntuka gwa kuti, bhaamulishe a Pauli bhapelekwe ku Yelushalemu, pabha bhashinkulagananga bhaajubhililanje mumpanda nkupinga bhaabhulaganje.
4 Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly.
Ikabheje a Peshito gubhajangwile, “A Pauli mubhali mmakono ga ulinda ku Kaishalia na namwene nguli tome na kwenda.
5 Let them therefore, saith he, which are of power among you, go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.
Mwaalekanje ashikalongolele bhenunji bhaelelanje na nne bhakaalugulanje a Pauli monaga shipali shibhalebhile.”
6 And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
A Peshito bhakatameje na bhandunji bhala kwa mobha nane eu likumi limo, gubhabhujile ku Kaishalia. Pa malabhi gakwe gubhapite tama pa shitengu sha ukumu, gubhaamulishe bhaajiyenabhonji a Pauli.
7 And when he was come, the Jews which had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges, which they could not prove;
A Pauli bhakaisheje, Bhayaudi bhakopokengene ku Yelushalemu gubhaatimbililenje gubhatandubhenje kwaalugula ga indu yaikuluikulu yatenda nkali ashaayene nngakombola kong'ondela.
8 while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.
A Pauli nkwiitapula gubhashite, “Nne shakwapi shinebhile kwa shalia ja Bhayaudi, wala kwa liekalu wala kwa a Kaishali.”
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favour with the Jews, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Ikabheje a Peshito nkupinga kwiikonjeleya ku Bhayaudi gubhaabhushiye a Pauli, “Bhuli, nnipinga kwenda ku Yelushalemu nkaukumulwe kwa malobhe gubhakunnugulangaga na nne nili popo?”
10 But Paul said, I am standing before Caesar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
A Pauli gubhajangwile, “Punyimi pano pa lukumbi lwa a Kaishali, pepano ni pa ukumulwa nne. Malinga mmwe shimmumanyi ukoto, nne shakwapi shinaalebhilenje Bhayaudi.
11 If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if none of those things is [true], whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
Bhai, monaga shipali shinebhile sha pinjikwa mulagwe, nne ngakana kuwa. Ikabheje monaga ibhanugulangai nngabha ya kweli, jwakwapi jwangamuya nne kubhanganyabha. Pungupinga malobhe ganguga gakamaliywe na a Kaishali.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar: unto Caesar shalt thou go.
Bhai, a Peshito bhakakungulusheje na bhandunji bhabho bha lukumbi, gubhaabhalanjile a Pauli, “Nshipinga malobhe genu gajende kwa a Kaishali! Bhai, shinnjende kwa a Kaishali.”
13 Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and saluted Festus.
Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, bhakulungwa bhana bhashemwaga Agilipa, bhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo shina nngabha ku Yudea na a Bhenike, gubhaikenje ku Kaishalia kukwalamushila a Peshito.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix:
Gubhatemingenenje kweneko mobha gamagwinji na a Peshito gubhaabhalanjile bhakulungwa Agilipa malobhe ga a Pauli, bhalinkuti. “Ashipagwa mundu jumo pepano jubhanneshile a Pelikishi ali atabhilwe.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him.
Ngajendeje ku Yelushalemu bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa bha Bhayaudi gubhanugulilenje gaka jwene mundujo bhalinyuganga ninng'ukumule apotekwe.
16 To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him.
Ikabheje gunaajangwilenje kuti Bhaloma bhakakunshoyanga mundu akwete malobhe ga lugulwa, akanabhe bhonegana naka mundu annugwile jula, nkupinga najwalakwe abhelekete malobhe ga kwiitapula kwa gubhannugulenjego.”
17 When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat down on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
“Bhai, bhakaikanganeje nne nangakabhiya, ikabhe pa malabhi gakwe nne gumishile shitamo kulukumbi, gunajile mundujula bhannjiye nabhonji.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;
Bhaalugulanga bhala bhakajimanganeje kubheleketa, shakwa shilebho shibhalugwilenje sha malinga shinalolelaga.
19 but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Ikabhe bhatendaga taukangana ga dini jabhonji na gaka mundu jumo lina lyakwe Yeshu numbe amalile, ikabheje a Pauli bhakuti jwankoto.
20 And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
Nne nangashimanya shatenda kwa gene malobhego. Bhai, gunaabhushiye a Pauli monaga shibhapinje kwenda ku Yelushalemu bhakaukumulwe kwa gene malobhego.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Caesar.
Ikabheje a Pauli gubhajujile malobhe gapeleshwe kubhakulungwa bha ku Loma, gubhataushile bhatame muulinda mpaka malobhe gabho gamaliywe na bhakulungwa bha ku Loma. Kwa nneyo gunajile bhatame muulinda mpaka pushinaapeleshe ku bhakulungwa bha ku Loma a Kaishali.”
22 And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.
Bhai Agilipa gubhaabhalanjile a Peshito, “Nne namwene natendaga pinga nimpilikanishiye jwene mundujo,” A Peshito gubhashite, “Shumumpilikane malabhi.”
23 So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.
Kwa nneyo, malabhi gakwe, bhakulungwa bhana Agilipa bhaliji bhakulungwa bha shilambo shina nngabha ku Yudea na a Bhenike gubhaikenje kulukumbi kwa angalila na bhakulungwanji bha bhakomana ngondo na ashikalongolele bha shilambo. A Peshito gubhalajile a Pauli bhakatolwe bhajinjiywe nnukumbi.
24 And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
A Peshito gubha shite, “Mmakulungwa Agilipa na mmowe nninginji na uwe apano! Nnikummonanga aju munduju, nkumbi gowe gwa Bhayaudi bha pepano na bha ku Yelushalemu bhashimbinganga nne naajangutilanje, bhalijobhelanga kuti akapinjikwa alame.
25 But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
Ikabheje nne nangashibhona shilebho shaatendile shaapinjikwa bhabhulagwe. Pabha a Pauli bhayene bhashipinga malobhe gabho gajende ku bhakulungwa bha ku Loma a Kaishali, gungundile kwaapeleka kwa bhenebho.”
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.
“Na nne kwa malobhe gabhoga nangali malobhe gammbone ga kwaajandishila bhakulungwa bha ku Loma a Kaishali. Kwa nneyo njikwashema apano kwenu mmanganyanji na mmakulungwa Agilipa, nkupinga mwabhuyanje, mbate shakwajandishila.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.
Pabha ngunabhona ikakonja kumpeleka mundu atabhilwe gwangali taya malobhe galugwilwe jwene mundujo.”
