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.
Bilumbu bitanu bu bivioka; Ananiasi, pfumu banganga Nzambi, wutula ku Sezale va kimosi ayi bakulutu ayi phovi yimosi, dizina diandi Telitulusi. Bayenda funda Polo va ntuala nyadi.
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,
Bu batumisa Polo. Buna Telitulusi wutona kumfunda bu katuba: —A mueni Felikisi, mu diambu diaku tuididi mu ndembama yingolo ayi diela diaku dimeni vutula mambu mafuana mu tsi eto.
3 both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Mu zithangu zioso ayi mu bibuangu bioso tueti makikinina ayi tueti kuvutudila matondo.
4 But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness.
Vayi mu kambu ku simbidila buwombo, ndiku leba mu diambu di mamboti maku mu kutuwila mu mambu makhufi madi yeto.
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, —
Tumueni ti mutu wawu nyandi tho yi mambu mambimbi. Niandi weti totula zikhindu muidi Bayuda boso badi mu nza yimvimba. Niandi ntuadisi wu kimvuka kintedolongo ki basi Nazaleti
6 who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized,
ayi wutomba busumunina Nzo Nzambi. Diawu tunkangila. [Tuzola kunsambisa boso buididi Mina mieto
vayi Lisiasi, Pfumu masodi, niandi wuyiza kunziona mu kingolo mu mioko mieto.
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.
Ayi wuvana lutumu ti mimfundi miza kuidi ngeyo.] Mawu bakula kuaku ngeyo veka bu wunkuiza nsambisa kiedika ki mambu momo tunfundidi.
9 Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, so.
Bayuda bakikinina mambu momo ayi batuba ti buawu bobo bubela mambu beni.
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;
Nyadi bu kavana Polo minsua mi yolukila, buna Polo wutuba: —A mueni, nzebi ti mimvu miwombo wididi zuzi mu tsi yayi, diawu mu bukhafi boso ndieka samba va ntualꞌaku.
11 seeing thou art able to ascertain, that there are, not more, than twelve days, since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, —
Ngeyo veka wulenda kuaku bakula ti kadi dikumi ayi bilumbu biodi biviokidi ko tona ndikibela ku Yelusalemi mu sambila.
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, —
Mimfundi miama misia kumbata ko kani mu Nzo Nzambi, kani mu zinzozi lukutukunu, kani mu divula kani ndilembo findana ziphaka ayi mutu voti ndilembo tonisa khindu mu batu.
13 neither can they make good the things concerning which they are, now, accusing me.
Batu baba bamfundidi, balendi nunga ko mu sudikisa bumboti mambumoso momo bamfundidi buabu.
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:
Vayi diambu dimosi diodi ndinkikinina diawu diadi: minu ndieti sadila Nzambi yi bakulu beto boso buididi “Nzila” yoyi balembo tubila ti “dikabu di bavasuka.” Ndieti wilukila mambu moso momo masonama mu Mina mi Moyize ayi mu Minkanda mi mimbikudi.
15 Having, hope, towards God, which, even these themselves, do entertain—that, a resurrection, there shall certainly be, both of righteous and of unrighteous:
Ndintulanga diana diama mu Nzambi banga diodi didi mu bawu vekati batu basonga ayi batu bambimbi bela fuluka.
16 herein, even I, myself, am studying to have, an unoffending conscience, towards God and men, continually.
Mu diambu diodi, minu mamvana ndieti nuana mu ba mayindu mamboti ma ntima makambulu tsembolo va meso ma Nzambi ayi va meso ma batu.
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;
Mimvu miwombo bu miviokidi bosi ndivutukidi ku tsi ama mu kuiza vanalusadusu kuidi minsukami ayi mu tambika makaba kuidi Nzambi.
18 but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], —
Mu diambu diodi, bayiza kumbata buna mbeni kukivedisa mu nzo Nzambi mu kambu kutikisa batu ayi mu kambu divunzi.
19 who ought, before thee, to have presented themselves, and to have been laying accusation, if, anything, they might have had against me: —
Muaki Bayuda bankaka baba ku Azi nganu bawu bafueti ba va ntualꞌaku mu kumfunda enati diambu bambeki.
20 Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, —
Voti bika batu baba badi vava batuba diambu mbi di mbimbi bamona mu thangu ndiba samba va ntuala lukutukunu lu minyadi;
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.
botula kaka mambu momo ndituba bu ndiba va khatitsikꞌawu ti: “Ndieka nsambusu buabu kuidi beno mu diambu di mfulukulu yi bafua”.
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, —
Sumbu Felikisi kazaba bumboti mambu matedi nzila, yi Pfumu buna wuba vutula ayi wuba kamba ti: —Thangu Lisiasi, pfumu masodi, kela kuiza buna bosi ndiela tala mambu meno.
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.
Wuvana lutumunu kuidi nkulutu masodi muingi batula Polo mu nloko vayi bamvanandambu kiphuanza ayi babika kandika badiandi mu kunsadisa.
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.
Ndambu yi bilumbu bu bivioka, Felikisi wuyiza ayi nketoꞌandi Dilusiye. Dilusiye wuba Nyuda. Buna Felikisi Wutumisa Polo ayi wu nwa mu diambu di minu mu Klisto Yesu.
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, —
Vayi Polo bu kaba bakamba mambu madi mu busonga, mu kukikeba bumboti ayi mu mambu matedi tsambusulu; Felikisi weka mona boma buna wunkamba: —Buabu, lenda kuaku kuenda, ndiela ku tedisa bu ndiela baka diluaku dimboti.
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.
Bosi wusia diana ti Polo weka mfuta zimbongo; diawu kaba ku ntedisilanga mu solula yandi mu zikhumbu ziwombo.
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.
Mimvu miodi bu miviokika; Felikisi bamvinginini kuidi Polikiusi Fesitusi. Mu diambu di monisa Bayuda khini, Felikisi wubika Polo mu nloko.
