< Acts 25 >

1 Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea;
Gakapiteje mobha gatatu ga uliwali gwabho, a Peshito gubhajabhwile ku Kaishalia gubhapite ku Yelushalemu.
2 and the High-priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him
Bhakulungwanji bhaabhishila na ashikalongolele bha Bhayaudi gubhaabhalanjilenje a Peshito ngani ja a Pauli. Gubhaashondelesheyenje a Peshito
3 asking for themselves as a favour against him, that he would send for him unto Jerusalem, —making, an ambush, 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 Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea, and that, he himself, was about, shortly, to be going out [thither].
Ikabheje a Peshito gubhajangwile, “A Pauli mubhali mmakono ga ulinda ku Kaishalia na namwene nguli tome na kwenda.
5 They, therefore, among you (saith he) who are in power, let them go down with me; and, if there is in the man, anything amiss, let them accuse him.
Mwaalekanje ashikalongolele bhenunji bhaelelanje na nne bhakaalugulanje a Pauli monaga shipali shibhalebhile.”
6 And, spending among them, not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and, on the morrow, taking his place upon the judgment-seat, ordered 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 presented himself, the Jews who, from Jerusalem, had come down, stood round about him, many and grievous charges, bringing against [him], which they were not able to prove, —
A Pauli bhakaisheje, Bhayaudi bhakopokengene ku Yelushalemu gubhaatimbililenje gubhatandubhenje kwaalugula ga indu yaikuluikulu yatenda nkali ashaayene nngakombola kong'ondela.
8 Paul saying in defence—Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I in anything sinned.
A Pauli nkwiitapula gubhashite, “Nne shakwapi shinebhile kwa shalia ja Bhayaudi, wala kwa liekalu wala kwa a Kaishali.”
9 But, Festus, wishing, with the Jews, to gain, favour, answered Paul, and said—Art thou willing, unto Jerusalem, to go up, and, there, concerning these things, be judged 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—Standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, am I, where, I, ought to be judged. Unto the Jews, have I done no wrong, as, even thou, right well, art discovering.
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, on the one hand, I am doing wrong, and, anything worthy of death, have committed, I excuse not myself from dying; but, on the other hand, if there is, nothing, in the things whereof these are accusing me, no man, hath power to give, me, unto them as a favour: —Unto Caesar, I appeal!
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, having conversed with the council, answered—Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? 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 And, some days having gone by, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute 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 were spending more days there, Festus, repeated, unto the king, the things relating to Paul, saying—A certain man, hath been left behind by Felix, as a prisoner;
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 concerning whom, when I happened to be in Jerusalem, the High-priests and the Elders of the Jews laid information, claiming against him a condemnation:
Ngajendeje ku Yelushalemu bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa bha Bhayaudi gubhanugulilenje gaka jwene mundujo bhalinyuganga ninng'ukumule apotekwe.
16 unto whom made answer—That it is not a custom with Romans, to grant as a favour any man, before the accused, face to face, should have his accusers, and, opportunity of defence, should receive, concerning the charge.
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 had come together here, no delay whatever, making, on the next day, taking my place upon the judgment-seat, I ordered the man to be brought:
“Bhai, bhakaikanganeje nne nangakabhiya, ikabhe pa malabhi gakwe nne gumishile shitamo kulukumbi, gunajile mundujula bhannjiye nabhonji.
18 Concerning whom, taking their stand, his accusers, no accusation at all, were bringing, of the evil things which, I, had been suspecting;
Bhaalugulanga bhala bhakajimanganeje kubheleketa, shakwa shilebho shibhalugwilenje sha malinga shinalolelaga.
19 but, certain questions concerning their own demon-worship, had they against him, and concerning one Jesus, who had died, whom Paul was affirming 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 at a loss as to the inquiry into these things, was asking—whether he might be minded to go unto Jerusalem, and, there, be judged concerning these things.
Nne nangashimanya shatenda kwa gene malobhego. Bhai, gunaabhushiye a Pauli monaga shibhapinje kwenda ku Yelushalemu bhakaukumulwe kwa gene malobhego.
21 But, Paul, having appealed to be kept for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept, until I could send him up unto 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 could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. To-morrow, (saith he) thou shalt hear him.
Bhai Agilipa gubhaabhalanjile a Peshito, “Nne namwene natendaga pinga nimpilikanishiye jwene mundujo,” A Peshito gubhashite, “Shumumpilikane malabhi.”
23 On the morrow, therefore, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great display, and they had entered into the audience-chamber, with the captains of thousands and men of distinction of the city, —and Festus had given orders, Paul was brought.
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 ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living 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, gathered, that, nothing worthy of death, had he committed; and, this man himself, having appealed unto the Emperor, I decided 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 Concerning whom, anything certain to write unto my lord, I have not; wherefore, I have brought him forth before you, —and especially before thee, King Agrippa! in order that, after examination had, I might have something I could 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, unreasonable, unto me, it seemeth, when sending a prisoner, not also, the accusations against him, to signify.
Pabha ngunabhona ikakonja kumpeleka mundu atabhilwe gwangali taya malobhe galugwilwe jwene mundujo.”
