Acts 24
1 And after five days, Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
Ze yakilaa mahiku a taano, uAnania kuhani nu mukulu, ang'wi a anyampala nu muligitya ung'wi nuitangwaa Tertulo, akalongola pang'wanso. Antu awa aletile usemelwa kutula Paulo kung'wa gavana.
2 And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done to this nation by thy providence,
uPaulo naza wimikile ntongeela ang'wa gavana, uTertulo akandya kumusemela nu kuligitya kung'wa gavana, “ku nsoko ako kukete ulyuuku ukulu; nu ku muloto nuako wiletaa upiluki uziza mi ihi nilitu;
3 We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
uugwa ku ilumbi lihi kisingiilya kila i kintu nuitumaa, Milamu mukulu Feliki.
4 Notwithstanding, that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldst of thy clemency hear us a few words.
Kuiti ndeke ku ukatalya ikilo, ku inena untegeelye makani masheenyu ku uaiilyi nuako.
5 For we have found this a pestilent man, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Ku ndogoelyo kamulijaa muntu uyu munya lugida, hangi ukusasha iAyahudi ihi kupiluka mi ihi. Hangi ingi lukolongo nua mazindaalo a Anazorayo. (Komaniilya; Ipatyo nila makani a lukiili ulu 24; 6,
6 Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
Ni hangi ai ugemeeye kuli ikila itekeelo kibudu itigwa kamuamba' umutili mu mbugulu ni nziza nia kali). (Komaniilya; U lukiili ulu
7 But the chief captain Lysias came and with great violence took [him] out of our hands,
Lisiasi, afisa, ai uzile nu kumuhola ku ngulu mu mikono itu, umutili mu mbugulu ni nziza nia ukilisigwa nua kali).
8 Commanding his accusers to come to thee: by examining whom, thou thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him.
Anga umukolye uPaulo kutula makani aya, ukuhuma ga nukimanyisa ingi kintu kii kumusemee.”
9 And the Jews also assented, saying, that these things were so.
Ayahudi ni enso akamusemela uPaulo, azeligitya kina aya makani aza atulaa atai.
10 Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
uLiwali nai wakamunyansuila u mukono uPaulo waligitye, uPaulo ai usukiiye, “Ningile kina ku myaka idu watuilee wi mulamuli nua ingu uwu, hangi nkete ulowa kitambuilya mukola kitalako.
11 That thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
Uhumile ki ikilya kulu kuulu kina akili kukila mahiku ikumi na abiili ikilo puma naza nankie kulongola kipolya ku Yerusalemu.
12 And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither exciting the people to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
Hangi naza anihangile mi itekeelo, shanga aza nikungumile nu muntu wihi, hangi shanga aza nitumile anga minyomo mi anza, ang'wi mu matekeelo ang'wi mukati a kisali;
13 Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
hangi ang'wi shanga ahumile kuika kulu kuulu kitalako u usemelwa nia ku usemela kitalane.
14 But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
Ila kulapa ili kitalako, nia kina ku nzila iyo naiza akitanga i mazindaalo, ku nzila yiyo yiiyo ku mutumikila Itunda nua a tata itu. Unene ingi ni muhuiili ku ihi nakoli mi ilagiilyo nu ukilisigwa nua anyakidagu.
15 And have hope towards God, which they themselves also allow, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Nkete ugimya wuwo wuuwo kung'wa Itunda naza ga nao nienso au lindiie, kupembya ku wiuki nua ashi, ku ihi anya tai ane hangi ni agila i tai ane ga;
16 And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and [towards] men.
nu ku ili, kituma i milimo iti ntule ni isigo nigila i kinkwaatya ntongeela ang'wa Itunda ni ntongeela a antu kukiila makani ihi.
17 Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
Itungili ze yakilaa myaka idu nzile kuleta uaiilya ku ingu nuane nu uaiilya nua mpia.
18 Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
Nai nitumile iti, Ayahudi kituunga nia ku Asia akanihanga mukati a sherehe nai a kielya mukati itekeelo, bila idale nila antu ang'wi minyomo.
19 Who ought to have been here before thee, and object if they had aught against me.
Antu awa naza atakiwe kutula amoli ntongeela ako itungili iti hangi aligitye iko niakikete migulya ane anga ize akete lukani lihi.
20 Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil-doing in me, while I stood before the council,
Ang'wi antu awa akola nia ligitye ingi utumuli kii naza awihengile kitalane naza nimikile ntongeela i anza nila Ayahudi;
21 Except it is for this one voice, that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
kwaala ku nsoko a kinu king'wi naza nikiligitilye ku luli naza nimikile pakati ao, “ingi kunsoko a wiuki nua ashi unyenye mukunamula.”
22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
uFeliki ai watulaa wapinduwee iziza kutula i nzila, hangi akalidilya i anza. Akaligitya, “Lisia mukomoli nui kiza pihi kupuma ku Yerusalemu nikapumya ulamuli ku usemelwa nuanyu.”
23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister, or come to him.
Iti gwa akamulagiilya u akida wamusunje uPaulo, ila watule ni lyoma hangi waleke kutula ukoli ga nu muntu nua kuagilya i ahumba uya niakwe aleke kumuaiilya ang'wi kumiumba umbila
24 And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
Ze yakilaa mahiku kituunga, uFeliki akasuka nu Drusila musungu nuakwe nai watulaa Muyahudi, akalagiilya antu kumitanga uPaulo nu kutegeelya puma kitalakwe nkani nia uhuiili mukati ang'wa Kristo uYesu.
25 And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, depart for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
Ila uPaulo nai wakatula ukitambulya nu ng'wenso kutula tai ane, kutula ni ngele nu ulamuli nuikapembya, uFeliki akalija woa akasukiilya, “longola kuli ku itungili, ila anga ndije itungo hangi, nikakitanga.”
26 He hoped also that money would have been given him by Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
Itungo lilo liilo, ai usumbiiye kina uPaulo ukuminkiilya mpia ku lulo ai umitangile nkua ingiiza akalingitya nu ng'wenso.
27 But after two years Porcius Festus came as successor to Felix: and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
Ila myaka ibiili nai akiile, uPorkio Festo akatula Liwali ze yakilaa uFeliki, ila uFeliki ai uloiwe kielya ku Ayahudi, iti gwa akamuleka uPaulo pihi a usunja.
