Acts 24
1 And, after five days, came down the High-priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed the governor against Paul.
Pa mashaka mhanu, mtambika mkulu gwa numba ya Mlungu Ananiya kingiriti Kaisariya pamwera na wazewi wamu na wakili yumu gwa malagaliru yawamshema Teritulu. Wamgendiriti mkulu wa mkowa ulii wamgambira mashitaka gawu kuusu Paulu.
2 And, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying—Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought,
Paulu wamshemiti, na Teritulu kamlavilira mashitaka hangu, “Mtuwa Felisi, ulonguziya waku uherepa ujega ponga nkulu na kwa ulolera waku vitwatira vivuwa vitulwa weri toziya ya isi yetu.
3 both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Shipindi shoseri na pahala poseri, kwa ntambu zoseri, mtuwa Felisi, tuvyanka vitwatira vyoseri avi kwa mayagashii gavuwa.
4 But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness.
Kumbiti, bila kuhowiziya shipindi shaku nentu, tukuluwa kwa viheri vyaku, guyipikiniri isi yetu.
5 For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes, —
Tuyambula handa muntu ayu ndo mbaya nentu. Yomberi katenda ndewu pakati pa Wayawudi kila pahala pasi panu na viraa ndo mlongoziya gwa shama shilii sha Wanazareti.
6 who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized,
Kayi kajeriti kuyihalibisiya numba nkulu ya kumluwira Mlungu, natwenga tumkamliti. Tufiriti kumtoza kugenderana na malagaliru getu twaweni.
Kumbiti Lusiya, mkulu gwa majengeni, kingiriti pakati, kamtoliti kwa likakala kulawa mmawoku getu.
8 from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him.
Handa pagumgambira msitaki gwakuwi kiza kulongolu kwaku, Handa pagumkosiya gumweni guweza kuvimana vitwatira vyoseri avi vyatumsitakiti kwa vyeni.”
9 Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.
Na Wayawudi wajimira shisoweru sha masitaka aga pawatakula handa goseri aga gaweriti nakaka.
10 And Paul answered, when the governor had motioned him to be speaking, —Well knowing thee to have been, for many years, judge unto his nation, cheerfully, as to the things concerning myself, do I make defence;
Su, mkulu gwa mkowa kamlekiziiti Paulu katakuli. Nayomberi Paulu kalonga, “Nemelera kujiteteya paulongolu paku panuvimana handa guwera mtoza gwa maisi aga kwa vinja vivuwa.
11 seeing thou art able to ascertain, that there are, not more, than twelve days, since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, —
Guweza kujiakishiya handa nentu ndiri ya mashaka ligumba na mawili hera gapita kwanjira pang'enditi kuguwira Yerusalemu.
12 and neither, in the temple, found they me, with any one, disputing, or causing, a halt, of the multitude, either in the synagogues or throughout the city, —
Wayawudi wamona ndiri panalitakuziyana na muntu yoseri wamona ndiri panuwasongiziya wantu mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pota munumba zya Milungu yawu. Pota pahala pingi kayi poseri mlushi alu.
13 neither can they make good the things concerning which they are, now, accusing me.
Pota waweza ndili kulanguziya mashitaka wagalaviyiti kuusu neni.
14 But I confess, this, unto thee, —That, according to the Way which they call a Sect, so, I am rendering divine service unto my father’s God, believing in all the things which, throughout the law, and those which, in the prophets, are written:
Shanjimira paulongolu paku ndo hashi. Neni numjimira Mlungu gwa wazewi wetu pandama kugenderana na njira ilii yeni womberi wayishema shama sha ufyangu. Njimira vitwatira vyoseri vyawalembiti muvintola vya malagaliru ga Musa na muvintola vya wambuyi.
15 Having, hope, towards God, which, even these themselves, do entertain—that, a resurrection, there shall certainly be, both of righteous and of unrighteous:
Neni nulitumbira Mlungu, na womberi walitumbira ula vira, handa wantu yawamfiriziya Mlungu na wantu yawamfiriziya ndiri Mlungu, hawazyuki.
16 herein, even I, myself, am studying to have, an unoffending conscience, towards God and men, continually.
Hangu hangangamali mashaka goseri kuwera na nfiru heri paulongolu pa Mlungu na palongolu pa wantu.
17 Now, after many years, intending to do, alms, unto my nation, I arrived, —also [to present] offerings; among which they found me, purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult;
“Pantamiti kutali kwa vinja vyamaha, mbuyiti Yerusalemu su kuwajegera wantu wa lushi lwangu utanga na kulaviya tambiku.
18 but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], —
Shipindi neni paweriti nankutenda aga su womberi wamoniti neni Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, nweriti ntenditi kala vitwatira vya kulipunga. Panweriti ndiri na lipinga lya wantu ama ndewu yoseri.
19 who ought, before thee, to have presented themselves, and to have been laying accusation, if, anything, they might have had against me: —
Kumbiti kuweriti na Wayawudi wamonga kulawa kumkoa gwa Asiya, hawa watakiwa kuwera panu paulongolu pakuwi na kulavia masitaka gawu handa wana shoseri sha kunsitakira.
20 Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, —
Ama, guwaleki awa wawawera panu watakuli likosa lyawaliwoniti kwaneni shipindi pang'olukiti paulongolu pashizyungu shawu shikulu,
21 unless concerning this one voice, wherewith I cried aloud among them, as I stood—Concerning the raising of the dead, am, I, to be judged, this day, by you.
payiweri hera visoweru avi vyantakuliti pang'olukiti paulongulu pawu, ‘Mlungu kantozi ulaleru toziya ya kukolera handa wahowiti hawazyukisiwi.’”
22 And Felix deferred them, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, —saying—As soon as, Lysias the captain, hath come down, I will give judgment as to your affairs, —
Panu, Felisi, yomberi mweni kaweriti kayimana njira ayi weri, kahayilishiti kesi ayi. Kawagambira, “Navinu hantozi kesi ayi shipindi Lusiya, mkulu gwa wanjagila, pakiza panu.”
23 giving orders unto the centurion, that he should be kept, and have a measure of liberty, and to be hindering, none, of his own from waiting upon him.
Shakapanu kamwimiziya mkulu gwa wanjagila kamtuli Paulu mshibetubetu, kumbiti kaweri na ulekiziwu shiyasi na waganja wakuwi kotukuwabera pawamupanana shakafira.
24 And, after certain days, Felix having arrived, with Drusilla his own wife, who was, a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith, respecting Christ Jesus.
Pa mashaka madidini, Felisi kiziti pamwera na mdala gwakuwi Drusila yomberi kiweriti Myawudi. Kaamuiti Paulu wamjegi, kampikanira pakayowera kuusu kumjimira Yesu Kristu.
25 And, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered—For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send for thee, —
Kumbiti shipindi Paulu pakanjiti kuyowera kuusu shashimfiriziya Mlungu, kuusu kulikolamlima na kuusu lishaka ya kutoza lyaliyiza. Felisi katiriti na kulonga, “Vinu guweza kugenda, hanukushemi kayi pampata lupenyu.”
26 at the same time, also hoping that, money, would be given him by Paul; wherefore also, the more frequently sending for him, he used to converse with him.
Shipindi shirashi kaweriti kankulitumba handa Paulu kangamupiti shuma. Toziya ayi kamshemiti Paulu mala kwa mala na kuyowera nayu.
27 When, however, two years, were completed, Felix, was succeeded, by Porcius Festus, and Felix, wishing to gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound.
Pa vinja miwili avi, Porikiu Festu katoliti lupenyu lwa Felisi, kaweri mkulu gwa mkowa. Toziya kafiriti kulijegelera kwa Wayawudi, Felisi kamlekiti Paulu mshibetubetu.
