Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Vufilutile ifighono fihano, unaniya utnekhenchi umbaha, mungaati mbavaha avagogoto na unchofi yumo uvievita vie teltulo, akhaluta pala. avanu avaa vagheghile einongwa iya pavuli khukuludeva.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
Upavuli vuiemile pavulongolo pa nkuludeva, uteltulo akhatengula ukhunsitanki nu khujoova khwa nkhuludeva, “ulwakhuva veve tulienulu nonchehencho uluvaha, khumasagho alinienyevonekhelo ghagho aghighegha uvusyetulo uvunonu mnkilunga kyietu;
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Khulusano iwoni tukwupielila khilakhinu iekyuvuvomba, nikhukhuponia viendwanchiwa feliki.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Saniekhakhusakhinche ukhulutiliela, nikhukhudova wiemulihinche ninchove padebe agiilocha khulyuve.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Ulwakhuva umunu uyu imbivi hange insongelehani veikhuvavikha ava-yahudi voni ukwitengha khilunga hanghe viendonghonchi vamipelela igya va-wanazoloyo.
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
Hange agelile ukhuviekha wuvivi mpelela pwutukhamwibata, uvusimolie mumbusimbe uvunonu awakatale). (nchingahiencha; uvusimbe uvwu
Lisiasi, likhuludeva, ainchile akhantola khumakha mumavokho gietu, na mumbusimbe uwavighwle vunonu uwakhatale).
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
Ungambunche upavuli kyumbmboinchi sakhalumanye khulikhikhi akhinu eikyuvikhung'iega”.
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Avayahudi vope vakhansitakha upavuli, v akhata imbombo inchi nchikhale ncha lweli.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Untwa akhinula ikhivokho ukhuta upavuli anchove, upavuli akhamula, “nilumanyile ukhuta khwu mijiaka imingi ukhale ndamuli vakhilunga iekhi, nilienuluhekhelo ukiviyelesya yune khulyuve.
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Vukhuluanya ukhuta safilutile ifighoono khinchigo na fivile ukhuhuma upunalutile khukwiesaya kuyelusalemu.
12 In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
Vuvambwene muntembile, sanakanihane numunu, khange sanavombe uvugalo mnkutano, numumipelela na munkilunga;
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Na savakhawesye ukhunchova vwayile khunongwa iinchuvikhung'iega une.
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Ulwakhuva paiele nikwiedika khulyuve, ukhuta khulungendo lula uluvaeilangile umpelela, khulungeendo lululwa nikhumbombe laga u Nguluve uvadada veitu. une nilimwiedikhi khugooni agaalindlagielo na mbusiimbe uwavanyamalongo.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Nilienamakha galagala khwa u Nguluve, uguu na vope vikhunchuka uwavafwile, khuvoni avalivuvuli imbivi na avalienimbivi voni;
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
khwu ilie nayune ni vomba imbomba khuta nive ninumbu inchiilambivi pavulongolo wa Nguluve napamiho pavano ukhugeendele imbombo nchoni.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Leino vugielutile imyakha vugielutilile ninchile kuleta ulutangielo nkiilunga kyago nukhuvonola nindalama.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Navile nievombile iewo, avayahudi avange avakhu asia vakhambona vunielinduhekhelo ulwa wumi mungaati mutembile, vuvasipali avanu vingi khange pakhava myiee.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
Avanu ava uvuvakhanogile ukhuva pamiho ghakho lieno ulwa vanchove ukyuvalienakyo ikyango ndavalienesela ayavinchaga.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Apange avanu ava vanchove eikyuniekhanangile iekyuvakhiwene khulyune vuneimile pavulongolo pavuhigii uwa va yahudi;
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
Ukhuva nikhanchovile iekhinu khimo khumakha upwuniekhimile pagati pavene, “ulwakhuva uvuchukha uwavafue umwe mukhung'iega.”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
Ufeliki akhavuliwe vunonu injiela, pwakhae lulekha ululundamano akhanchova “lisia nkuludeva akhiva itolga ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu pwuyunilamu ukhuhiegiwa khulyume.”
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
Pwu akahalamuta untwa andolelage upavuli, hange ave nunsiekhi alekhe umunu uvakhuvabencha avamanyani vamwene ukhuta valekhe ukhuntanga hange valekhe ukhungeendela.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Vufilutile ifighono fidebe akhincha undala vamwene u-dlusila uviale injahudi, khasuha khukhumwianga upavuli apulihinche amamenyu agalwidiko mungaati wa klisite uyesu.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
Upavuli vuvinchovana numwene mumbulweli, ukhuleka ukhulutilila akhiva vilamula pavuhighi uvukwincha, ufeliki akhava nuvundwanchi akhamula, “lutaka khuvutali lino, nienghapate unsiekhe nikhukwilangha.
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
unsiekhe ugwaa ahuile ukhuta upavuli ikhumpa indalama pwa akhamwilangha khanghe akhachova nave.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Imyaka ghewile vughisilile, upolkio ufesto akhava nuntwa khandekha efeliki, ulwakhuva ufeliki unogwa ukwihegelencha khuvayahudi, pwakandekha upavuli mwondyongomencho.
