Acts 24
1 Five days after this, Ananias the High Priest came down to Caesarea with a number of Elders and a pleader called Tertullus. They stated to the Governor the case against Paul.
Dana muu n den pendi, bi kobadicianba bado Ananiasa den yegi leni bi nikpeliba leni maliiga yudaano yendo ke bi yi o Tetusa ki jiidi ki cua Sesale. Bi den maadi Gufeneeli ban pia ya maama leni Polo.
2 So Paul was sent for, and Tertullus began to impeach him as follows: "Indebted as we are," he said, "to you, most noble Felix, for the perfect peace which we enjoy, and for reforms which your wisdom has introduced to this nation,
O den yini Polo, ke Tetusa cili ki maadi ki tabi o ki yedi:
3 in every instance and in every place we accept them with profound gratitude.
Fini ti yudaano Felisi, tikuli ye leni mi yanduanma cain kelima a yaapo. Fini n teni ke ti diema lebidi ki hanbi. I kaani kuli leni i yogini kuli ti pala mani leni han tieni yaala yeni ke ti jaandi a likuli po hali boncianla.
4 But--not to detain you too long--I beg you in your forbearance to listen to a brief statement from us.
Mii go bua ki pugini mi maama ki coagi a. N mia ha han cengi ti u yogunu waamu bebe.
5 For we have found this man Paul a source of mischief and a disturber of the peace among all the Jews throughout the Empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes.
Ti sua ke o naa joa tie nani u yianu, ki fiindi mi janjanma Jufinba siiga ban ye naankani kuli handuna nni. O tie Nasaleti yaaba jaanbuolu yudanba siiga yendo.
6 He even attempted to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.
O den moandi ki baa joagini U Tienu diegu ke ti cuo o. Ti den bua ki bu leni o nani ti yaa balimaama n bili maama.
Ama a minteela yudanciamo Lisiasa den tieni u paalu ki fie o ti nuu nni, ki yedi ke yaaba n pia mi maama leni o n cua a ya kani.
8 You, however, by examining him, will yourself be able to learn the truth as to all this which we allege against him."
Fini aba baa fidi ki buali o ki bandi tin pia leni ya maama kuli ya tie moamoani.
9 The Jews also joined in the charge, maintaining that these were facts.
Yaa Jufinba n den ye likani den saa Tetusa maama po i moamoani, ki yedi ke wan maadi Polo po yaala kuli tie yeni.
10 Then, at a sign from the Governor, Paul answered, "Knowing, Sir, that for many years you have administered justice to this nation, I cheerfully make my defence.
Gufeneeli den yugidi o nuu ki puni Polo u sanu ke wan maadi, ki yedi: N bani ke a tie ti buolu bujialo yaa bina n yaba lane n pali mani ke n ye a nintuali ki baa maadi ki ga n yuli.
11 For you have it in your power to ascertain that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to worship in Jerusalem;
Laa cie piiga n dana lie ke n den gedi Jelusalema ki baan kpiagi U Tienu. A ya bua a baa fidi ki buali ki bandi.
12 and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.
Baa den la ke n nia leni niloba U Tienu diegu nni, yaaka ke n fiini ku niligu pala li balimaama bangina diena nni leni u dogu nni kaanuba kuli.
13 Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.
Bi kan fidi ki ba yaa seedi n baa doagidi ke ban maadi npo ya maama a kani moala tie moamoani.
14 But this I confess to you--that in the way which they style a heresy, I worship the God of our forefathers, believing everything that is taught in the Law or is written in the Prophets,
Ama ban yini yaa jaanma jaabocaanu yeni, n tuo a nintuali ke n hoa ma ki jaandi ti yaajanba Tienu, ki go dugi yaala n diani li balimaama nni, leni bi saawalipuaba tila nni kuli po.
15 and having a hope directed towards God, which my accusers themselves also entertain, that before long there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.
N sugini nani bani yaaba n ye ne n sugini maama ke bi tinkpiba fiima ye, yaaba n tiegi leni yaaba n ki tiegi kuli po.
16 This too is my own earnest endeavour--always to have a clear conscience in relation to God and man.
Lani n teni ke n moandi yogunu kuli ke n pali seedi n da bu leni nni kelima tagili ba po. U Tienu kani leni bi niba kani kuli.
17 "Now after an interval of several years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to offer sacrifices.
Min kaa den ye Jelusalema binaba, n den guani likani ki baa cuani mi todima n buolu yaaba po, ki pa U Tienu bu paabu.
18 While I was busy about these, they found me in the Temple purified, with no crowd around me and no uproar; but there were certain Jews from the province of Asia.
Min den tieni lani, yaa Jufinba n ñani Asi nni den laa nni U Tienu diegu nni. N den wali ki hanbi nba.
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to have been my prosecutors, if they have any charge to bring against me.
Mii den taani niligu, mii den tieni fuugu mo. Jufinba ya pia npo liba, li bi pundi bani n ya ye ne ki maadi laa maama a nintuali.
20 Or let these men themselves say what misdemeanour they found me guilty of when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
Lani yaaka li pundi yaaba n ye ne n waani ban laa ke n pia yaa tagili min den sedi bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani.
21 unless it was in that one expression which I made use of when I shouted out as I stood among them, "'The resurrection of the dead is the thing about which I am on my trial before you to-day.'"
Li yaa ki tie min den kpaani bi siiga ki yedi: Yi ja leni nni dinla ti buudi kelima bi tinkpiba fiima yaapo.
22 At this point Felix, who was fairly well informed about the new faith, adjourned the trial, saying to the Jews, "When the Tribune Lysias comes down, I will enter carefully into the matter."
Lani Felisi, yua n den bani Jesu sanhoadima maama bonhanla den sieni mi maama yeni hali dantoali, ki yedi Polo: A minteela yudanciamo Lisiasa ya cua n baa jia a maama.
23 And he gave orders to the Captain that Paul was to be kept in custody, but be treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be prevented from showing him kindness.
O den puogi minteela kobiga yudaano n ya guu Polo ki pa o mi yudiedima ki cedi o danlinba n ya kpendi o kani ki todi o.
24 Not long after this, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, a Jewess, and sending for Paul, listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.
Danaba n den pendi Felisi den cua leni o pua Dusila, yua n tie Jufi. O den teni ke bi cuani Polo o kani ki cengi Polo n maadi opo li dandanli Jesu Kilisit nni n tie yaala.
25 But when he dealt with the subjects of justice, self-control, and the judgement which was soon to come, Felix became alarmed and said, "For the present leave me, and when I can find a convenient opportunity I will send for you."
Ama Polo n den maadi mi teginma, li yukubili leni U Tienu buudi yaadi n baa cua ya maama fuuli yeni, ti jawaandi den cuo Felisi ke o yedi o: Moala po a baa fidi ki ña. N yaa go ti baa u yogunu n baa yini a.
26 At the same time he hoped that Paul would give him money; and for this reason he sent for him the oftener to converse with him.
O den pia mi suginma ke Polo baa pa o i ligi. Lani yaapo, o den tuuni ke bi yi o yogunu boncianla ke o maadi leni o.
27 But after the lapse of fully two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and being desirous of gratifying the Jews, Felix left Paul still in prison.
Bina lie n den pendi ke li tie yeni, Felisi den baa o lebidu ke bi yi o Posiyusa Fesitusa. Nani Felisi n den bua ki mangi Jufinba pala yeni, o den ha Polo ke o baa ye li kadideli nni.
