Acts 25
1 Now when Festus had come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cesarea to Jerusalem.
Mikolo misato sima na ye koya kati na etuka, Festisi alongwaki na Sezarea mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
epai wapi bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bakendeki kokutana na ye mpo na kofunda Polo. Babondelaki mingi Festisi
3 And desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
mpo ete asalela bango ngolu ya kotinda Polo na Yelusalemi, pamba te basalaki mabongisi ya kotiela ye motambo na nzela mpo na koboma ye.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly [thither].
Kasi Festisi azongiselaki bango: — Polo azali nanu kati na boloko, na Sezarea; mpe kala mingi te, nakozonga kuna.
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.
Tika ete tokende nzela moko na ndambo ya bakambi na bino, mpo ete, soki moto yango asalaki mabe, bafundela ye kuna.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
Festisi asalaki mikolo pene mwambe to zomi elongo na bango, mpe azongaki na Sezarea. Mokolo oyo elandaki bozongi na ye, avandaki na esambiselo mpe apesaki mitindo ete bamemela ye Polo.
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;
Tango kaka Polo akomaki wana, Bayuda oyo bawutaki na Yelusalemi bazingelaki ye mpe bakomaki kofunda ye na tina na makambo mingi ya mabe makasi, oyo bango moko bazangaki kutu makoki mpo na kotalisa bosolo na yango.
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cesar have I committed any offense.
Polo asambaki boye: — Nasalaki mabe moko te, nabukaki ata mobeko moko te ya Bayuda to ya Tempelo to mpe ya Sezare.
9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these things before me?
Kasi lokola Festisi alingaki kosepelisa Bayuda, atunaki Polo: — Boni, olingi kozonga na Yelusalemi mpe kosamba kuna liboso na ngai mpo na makambo oyo?
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cesar's tribunal, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Polo azongisaki: — Te, natelemi liboso ya esambiselo ya Sezare; ezali awa nde nasengeli kosamba. Yo moko oyebi malamu ete nasali Bayuda ata likambo moko te ya mabe.
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 Cesar.
Soki nasali mabe to nasali likambo oyo ekoki komemela ngai etumbu ya kufa, nandimi kokufa. Kasi soki makambo oyo Bayuda bafundeli ngai ezali ya lokuta, moto moko te azali na makoki ya kokaba ngai na maboko na bango. Tika ete Sezare akata likambo na ngai!
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed to Cesar? to Cesar thou shalt go.
Sima na Festisi kokabola makanisi elongo na bapesi toli na ye, alobaki na Polo: — Lokola osengi kokende kosamba liboso ya Sezare, okokende solo kosamba liboso na ye.
13 And after certain days, king Agrippa and Bernice came to Cesarea, to salute Festus.
Sima na mwa mikolo, mokonzi Agripa elongo na Berenise bayaki na Sezarea mpo na kopesa Festisi mbote.
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:
Lokola balekisaki kuna mikolo mingi, Festisi ayebisaki mokonzi likambo ya Polo; alobaki: — Ezali awa na moto moko oyo Felikisi atikaki kati na boloko.
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.
Tango nakendeki na Yelusalemi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bayaki kofunda ye epai na ngai, mpe basengaki ete nakatela ye etumbu.
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 license to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
Kasi nayebisaki bango ete bato ya Rome bazalaka na ezaleli te ya kokatela moto etumbu soki asambi nanu te na bato oyo bafundi ye, mpe soki azwi nanu nzela te ya kozongisa biyano na makambo oyo bafundeli ye.
17 Therefore, when they had come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth;
Tango bayaki awa, nalekisaki tango te; kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, navandaki na esambiselo mpe napesaki mitindo ete bamemela ngai moto yango.
18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of such things as I supposed:
Tango bato oyo bafundaki ye batelemaki mpo na koloba, balongaki te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo mabe oyo bafundelaki ye, ndenge ngai nazalaki kokanisela.
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Batianaki tembe na tina na lolenge na bango ya kosambela, mpe na tina na moto moko oyo asila kokufa, moto oyo Polo azalaki koloba na tina na ye ete azali na bomoi; kombo ya moto yango ezalaki « Yesu. »
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked [him] whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these matters.
Lokola nayebaki te ndenge nini nakoki kokata likambo ya lolenge oyo, natunaki ye soki alingi kokende na Yelusalemi mpo ete bakata likambo na ye kuna.
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 Cesar.
Kasi Polo asengaki ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene. Boye, napesaki mitindo ete babatela ye kati na boloko kino tango nakotinda ye epai ya Sezare.
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Agripa alobaki na Festisi: — Nazali na posa ya koyoka moto wana, ngai moko. Festisi azongisaki: — Okoyoka ye lobi.
23 And on the morrow, 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.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, Agripa mpe Berenise bayaki na lokumu nyonso, mpe bakotaki na ndako oyo basambiselaka bato, elongo na bakonzi ya basoda mpe bakambi ya engumba. Na mitindo ya Festisi, bayaki na Polo.
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.
Festisi alobaki: — Mokonzi Agripa mpe bino nyonso oyo bozali elongo na biso awa, bozali komona moto oyo! Lisanga mobimba ya Bayuda bayaki kokutana na ngai na tina na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe awa kati na Sezarea, bazalaki koganga ete asengeli kokufa.
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.
Nzokande, mpo na ngai, namonaki likambo moko te oyo ekokaki komemela ye etumbu ya kufa. Kasi lokola ye moko asengi ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene, ngai mpe nazwi mokano ya kotinda ye na Rome.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.
Lokola nazali na likambo moko te ya malonga ya kokomela mokonzi monene na tina na ye, nayei na ye mpo ete asamba liboso na bino nyonso, mpe mingi-mingi liboso na yo, mokonzi Agripa, mpo ete nakoka kozwa likambo ya kokomela mokonzi monene, sima na biso kotuna ye mituna.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not also to signify the crimes [laid] against him.
Pamba te namoni ete tina ezali te ya kotinda moto ya boloko na Rome, soki nalongi te kolimbola malamu likambo oyo bafundeli ye.
