Acts 25
1 Festus therefore having arrived in the province after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Zvino Fesitasi wakati asvika padunhu iro, shure kwemazuva matatu akakwira kuJerusarema achibva Kesariya.
2 Made a presentation (then *N(k)O*) before him (the *N(k)O*) (chief priests *N(K)O*) and the chiefs of the Jews against Paul and they were begging him
Zvino mupristi mukuru nevakuru veVaJudha vakamhan'arira Pauro kwaari, vakamukumbirisa,
3 asking a favor against him, that he may summon him to Jerusalem, an ambush forming to execute him on the way.
vachikumbira nyasha dzinopikisana naye, kuti amudanire kuJerusarema, vakavandira kuti vamuuraye panzira.
4 Indeed therefore Festus answered that is to be kept Paul (in Caesarea, *N(k)O*) he himself however ensuing with speed to set out;
Asi Fesitasi wakapindura, kuti Pauro wakachengetwa paKesariya, uye kuti iye amene wakange okurumidza kuendako.
5 Those therefore among you he says [in] power having gone down too, if anything there is in the man wrong, they should accuse him.
Akati: Naizvozvo avo vanokwanisa pakati penyu ngavaburuke neni; kana pane chisina kururama kumurume uyu, ngaamupe mhosva.
6 Having spent then with them days (not *NO*) more (than eight *NO*) or ten, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat he commanded Paul to be brought.
Wakati agara pakati pavo mazuva anopfuura gumi, wakaburukira Kesariya; chifume agara pachigaro chekutonga akaraira kuti Pauro auiswe.
7 When was arriving then he they stood around (him *NO*) the from Jerusalem having come down Jews many and weighty charges (presenting *N(k)O*) (concerning Paul *K*) which not they were able to prove,
Zvino wakati asvika, VaJudha vakaburuka vachibva kuJerusarema vakamira vakamukomba, vachiuisa mhosva zhinji uye dzinorema pana Pauro, dzavakange vasingagoni kusimbisa,
8 (Paul *no*) was presenting a defense (of him *k*) that Neither [I sinned] against the law of the Jews nor [I sinned] against the temple nor against Caesar [in] anything have I sinned.
iye achizvidavirira akati: Kumurairo weVaJudha, kana kutembere, kana kuna Kesari handina kutadza chinhu.
9 Festus however wishing from the Jews a favor to lay, answering Paul said; Are you willing to Jerusalem having gone up there concerning these things (to be judged *N(k)O*) before me?
Asi Fesitasi achida kufadza VaJudha, wakapindura Pauro akati: Unoda here kukwira kuJerusarema, unotongwako pamusoro pezvinhu izvi pamberi pangu?
10 Said then Paul; Before the judgment seat of Caesar standing I am, where me it behooves to be judged. To [the] Jews no [thing] (I have done wrong, *NK(o)*) as also you yourself very well know;
Asi Pauro akati: Ndimire pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaKesari, pandinofanira kutongwa; kuVaJudha handina kuita zvisakarurama, sezvamunozivisisa imwiwo.
11 If indeed (therefore *N(k)O*) I do wrong and worthy of death have done anything, not I do refuse to die; If however no [thing] there is of which they [can] accuse me, no [one] me can to them giving up. To Caesar I appeal!
Nokuti kana ndakatadza uye ndakaita chinhu chakafanira rufu, handirambi kufa; asi kana pasina chinhu chezvinhu zvavanondipira mhosva ivo, hakuna munhu anogona kundikumikidza kwavari pachena. Ndinoikwidza kuna Kesari.
12 Then Festus having conferred with the Council answered; To Caesar You have appealed, to Caesar you will go!
Ipapo Fesitasi ataurirana nedare remakurukota, akapindura akati: Waikwidza kuna Kesari? Kuna Kesari uchaenda.
13 When days now having passed some Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea (greeting *N(k)O*) Festus.
Zvino mamwe mazuva akati apfuura, mambo Agripa naBhenike vakasvika kuKesariya kuzokwazisa Fesitasi.
14 As now many days (they were staying *NK(o)*) there, Festus to the king laid before the [things] relating to Paul saying; A man certain there is left by Felix [as] a prisoner,
Vakati vagarako mazuva mazhinji, Fesitasi akarondedzera zviri maererano naPauro kuna mambo, achiti: Kune umwe murume wakasiiwa naFerikisi ari musungwa,
15 concerning whom having been of me in Jerusalem made a presentation the chief priests and the elders of the Jews asking against him (penalty; *N(k)O*)
wandakati pandakange ndiri kuJerusarema, vapristi vakuru nevakuru veVaJudha vakamumhan'arira, vachikumbira mutongo unopokana naye.
16 to whom I answered that not it is [the] custom with Romans to give up any man (into punishment *K*) before than the [one] being accused to face he would be [able] the accusers [the] opportunity and of defense he would have concerning the accusation.
Vandakapindura, kuti haisi tsika yeVaRoma kukumikidza pachena chero munhu kurufu, uyo anopiwa mhosva asati ambotarisana nevanomupa mhosva, akagamuchira mukana wekuzvipindurira maererano nemhosva.
17 When were assembling therefore they here delay no having made, on the next [day] having sat on the judgment seat I commanded to be brought the man;
Naizvozvo vakati vaungana pano, pasina kunonoka, nezuva raitevera ndakagara pachigaro chekutonga, ndikaraira kuti murume auiswe.
18 concerning whom having stood up the accusers no charge (were bringing *N(k)O*) of which I myself was suspect (crimes; *N(O)*)
Vamhan'ari vakamusimukira vakasamupa mhosva yezvandaifungira ini,
19 Questions however certain concerning the own religion they had against him and concerning a certain Jesus having died whom was affirming Paul to be alive.
asi vaiva nezvimwe zvavaimupikisa maererano nechitendero chavo, uye zveumwe Jesu wakange afa, Pauro waaiti mupenyu.
20 Being perplexed now I myself (into *k*) concerning (these *N(k)O*) inquiry was asking if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and there and there to be judged concerning these things.
Zvino ini zvandakange ndisina chokwadzi maererano negakava rakadai, ndakati anoda kuenda kuJerusasrema here, anotongwa ikoko pamusoro pezvinhu izvi.
21 But Paul having appealed for to be kept himself for the Emperor's decision I commanded to be kept him until that (I may return *N(k)O*) him to Caesar.
Pauro wakati aikwidza kuti achengeterwe mutongo wamambo mukuru, ndakaraira kuti achengetwe, kusvikira ndichimutumira kuna Kesari.
22 Agrippa then to Festus (was saying: *k*) I was wanting also myself the man to hear. (now *k*) Tomorrow he says you will hear him.
Agripa ndokuti kuna Fesitasi: Neni ndinoda kunzwa munhu uyu. Iye akati: Mangwana muchamunzwa.
23 On the therefore next day when was coming Agrippa and Bernice with great pomp and having entered into the audience hall with both (to the *k*) commanders and to men who in prominence (being *k*) in the city and when was commanding Festus was brought in Paul.
Naizvozvo chifume, Agripa wakati asvika naBhenike, vachionekera kwazvo, vakapinda mumba mekutambira mhosva, nevatungamiriri vezvuru, nevarume vakuru veguta, Fesitasi araira, vakauya naPauro.
24 And says Festus; Agrippa King and all you who [are] (being present with *NK(o)*) us men, you see this one concerning whom (all *N(k)O*) the multitude of the Jews (they pleaded *NK(o)*) with me in both Jerusalem and here (crying [that] *N(k)O*) not needing of him to live no longer.
Zvino Fesitasi akati: Mambo Agripa, nevarume vese vari pano nesu, munoona uyu, chaunga chese cheVaJudha wachakandikumbira zvese paJerusarema nepano, vachidanidzira kuti haafaniri kuramba achirarama.
25 I myself however (having grasped *N(k)O*) nothing worthy him of death to have done, (and *k*) himself and of this one having appealed to the Emperor I determined to send (him. *k*)
Asi ini ndakati ndawana kuti haana kuita chinhu chakafanira rufu, uye kuti iye pachake waikwidza kuna mambo mukuru, ndagura kumutumira.
26 concerning whom definite anything to write to [my] lord not I have, Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that when the examination having taken place I may have something (I may write; *N(k)O*)
Asi handina chinhu chakasimba chandinganyorera ishe pamusoro pake. Naizvozvo ndauya naye pamberi penyu, uye zvikuru pamberi penyu, mambo Agripa, kuti mamuongorora, ndingava nechandinganyora.
27 Absurd for to me it seems [in] sending a prisoner not also the against him charges to specify.
Nokuti ndinoona zvisina musoro kutuma musungwa, pasina kutaridzwawo mhosva dzakanangana naye.
