Acts 25

1 Now when Festus had come into the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

Uugwa uFesto nai wakingila mukati i jimbo nilanso hangi ze yakilaa mahiku ataatu akalongola kupuma ku Kaisaria kupikiila ku Yerusalemu.

2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,

uKuhani nu mukulu ni Ayahudi ni asanigwe ai aletile usemelwa kutula Paulo kung'wa Festo. hangi ai aligitilye ku ngulu kung'wa Festo.

3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.

Hangi ai amulompile uFesto Fadhili migulya a makani ang'wa Paulo alije kumitanga ku Yerusalemu iti ahume kumubulaga mu nzila.

4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly there.

Kuiti uFesto ai usukiiye kina uPaulo ai watulaa mutungwa mu Kaisaria, ni kina ung'wenso mukola ukukaya kusuka kung'wanso.

5 Let them therefore, said he, who among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there is any wickedness in him.

Ai uligitilye, “Kululo, awo naza ahumile, ahumile kulongola uko nu sese. Anga ize kikoli kintu kibibi ku muntu uyu, mutakiwe kumusemela.”

6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

Ze yakilaa ki kie mahiku mu nana ang'wi ikumi ni ikilo, wikasuka ku Kaisaria. Nu luhiku nai lutyatile wakikie mi ituntu nila ulamuli nu kulagiilya uPaulo waletwe kitalakwe.

7 And when he had come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.

Nai wakapika, Ayahudi kupuma ku Yerusalemu akimika pakupi, Akapumya usemelwa widu ulito naiza shanga ikahuma ku ukaminkiilya.

8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I committed any offence.

uPaulo ai witambuiye nu kuligitya, 'Shanga ku lina nila Ayahudi, shanga migulya itekeelo, ni shanga migulya ang'wa Kaisari, nitumile u ubi.'

9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a favour, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me?

Kuiti uFesto ai uloilwe kielya ku Ayahudi, ni lulo aka musukiilya uPaulo ku kuligitya, 'Itii, uloilwe kulongola ku Yerusalemu nu kulamulwa nu nene kutula i makani aya kuko?'

10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.

uPaulo ai uligitilye, 'nimekile ntongeela i ituntu nila ulamuli ni lang'wa Kaisari naiza ntakiwe kulamulwa. Shanga nia tumuie i Ayahudi, anga u ewe nulingile ibahu.

11 For if I am an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there is none of these things of which these accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.

Anga itule ntumue hangi anga itule nitumile ni ashanga inonee insha, shanga nihitile kusha. Kuiti anga u usemelwa nuao shanga kintu, kutili u muntu nuhumile kuninkiilya kitalao. Kumulompa uKaisari.'

12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Caesar? to Caesar thou shalt go.

Ze yakilaa u Festo kuligitya ni i anza akasukiilya, “ukumulompa u Kaisari; ukulongola kung'wa Kaisari.”

13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.

Ze yakilaa mahiku kituunga, u mutemi u Agripa nu Bemike ai apikile ku Kaisaria kituma wiumbaumbi kung'wa Festo.

14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:

Ze yakilaa kikie papo ku mahiku idu, uFesto ai winkiiye usemelwa nuang'wa Paulo ku mutemi; Akaligitya, 'Muntu ung'wi aza ulekilwe papa nu Feliki anga mutungwa.

15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.

Naza natula ku Yerusalemu akuhani ni akulu ni anyampala a Ayahudi ai aletile usemelwa migulya a muntu uyu kitalane, ni enso ai akoiye migulya a ulamulwa ku ng'waakwe.

16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before he who is accused hath the accusers face to face, and hath opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge laid against him.

Ku ili unene aza niasukiiye kina ku ntendo nia a Roma kumupumya muntu ku kielya badala akwe, u musemelwa utakiwe kutula ni lyoma nila ku gugana ni asemi akwe nu kitambuilya ku usemelwa nuanso.

17 Therefore, when they had come here, without any delay on the next day I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.

Ku lulo, nai akiza palung'wi apa, shanga ai nihumile kulindiila, kuiti luhiku nai lutyatile ai nikie mi tuntu nila ulamuli nu kulagiilya u muntu nuanso waletwe mukati.

18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of such things as I supposed:

Itungo i asemi naza imikile nu kumusemela, nikasiga kina kutili u usemelwa nu ukulu nu uletilwe kitalakwe.

19 But had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

Badala akwe ai akete u wikungumi nua kituunga palung'wi nu ng'wenso kutula kizindaalo ni kao ni kutula uYesu naiza ai watulaa wakule, kuiti uPaulo ukudaya kina ukoli upanga.

20 And because I was perplexed concerning such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these matters.

Ai natulaa nkunikiwe kinya kudumiila ikolyo ili, hangi nikamukolya anga ize ukulongola ku Yerusalemu kulamulwa kutula makani aya.

21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.

Kuiti uPaulo nai wakitangwa waikwe pihi a usunja ku nsoko a ulamuli nua mutemi, ai ndagiiye waikwe ga ni nikamutwala kung'wa Kaisari.

22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.

uAgripa ai witambuie nu Festo, “aza nzeelowa ga nu kumutegeelya u muntu uyu.” “uFesto, akaligitya, “mudau ukumutegeelya.”

23 And on the next day, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and had entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought forth.

Iti gwa mudau akwe, uAgripa nu Bernike ai apikile ni sherehe idu; ai apikile mi itando ni a afisa ni idale, ni antu nia asanigwe mu kisali. Nu Festo ai upumilye ilagiilyo, uPaulo waletwe kitalao.

24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

uFesto akaligitya, “Mutemi Agripa, ni antu ihi naza amoli apa palung'wi nu sese, mu mihengile u muntu uyu; muhangu wihi nua Ayahudi uko ku Yerusalemu ni apa iti ga aloilwe ni asije, ni enso ikazogolya kitalane kina waleke kikie.

25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.

Ai nihengile kina shanga ai witumile lihi nilinonee insha; kuiti ku nsoko wamitangaa u mutemi, ai namue kumutwala kitalakwe.

26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.

Kuiti nimugila i kintu ni kikaminkiie nika kukilisa ku mutemi. Ku nsoko ili, numuletile kitalako Agripa, iti nihume kutula ni kintu nika kukilisa kutula usemelwa.

27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not also to signify the charges laid against him.

Ku nsoko kihenga kigila i ndogoelyo kumutwala u mutungwa hangi bila kulagiila u usemelwa nu umukinyiie.
