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.
Ie lime andro añe, nizotso mb’e Kaisaria mb’eo t’i Ananiasy mpisorom-bey naho ty ila’ o roaeo vaho ty ondati-aivo atao Tertilo, le nasesek’ amy Ragovay ty sisì’ iareo amy Paoly.
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,
Ie tinoka, le niorote’ i Tertilo seseke, ami’ty hoe: Oniñe te ihe ro ierañeraña’ay an-kanintsiñe, naho mihafonitse ty fañavaoañe ty fifeheañe toy ty amo falalà’oo,
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
le no’ay an-tsata’e iaby sikal’aia sikal’aia, ry Feliksa, am-pañandriañañe mandigiligy.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Fe tsy mone hahamokorako, le ihalaliako ty hiferenaiña’o hijanjiñe o enta’ay tsy ampeo.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections amongst all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Rendre’ay t’ie mpitrobo o lahilahio naho mampiola ze fonga Jiosy an-tane atoy, mbore mpifehe amy firimboñan-te-Nazaretay;
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
aa ie nimane haniva i anjomban’ Añaharey, le tsinepa’ay ie ho nizaka aze amy lili’aiy.
Fe nivotrak’eo t’i Lisiose mpizaka, le am-piaroteñe ty nitavana’e an-taña’ay, naho nampihitrife’e mb’ama’o atoy,
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
vaho linili’e hiatrek’azo o mpanesek’ azeo. Ie mahatsikarake irehe, le ho oni’o ty hatò’ o anesefa’ay azeo.
9 The Judeans also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Ninò’ o Tehodao i taroñe zay le sinaontsi’ iereo te hene to.
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 defence,
Ie tinondro’ i Ragovay t’i Paoly hisaontsy, le hoe ty natoi’e: Fohiñe te maro taoñe ty nizakà’o ami’ty fifeheañe toy le mahaehak’ ahy ty manoiñe ty amako.
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Mora ho azo ty hahaoniñe te folo-ro’amby andro izay ty nionjonako mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hitalaho.
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.
Toe tsy nioni’ iereo nifandietse aman-dra iaia iraho, tsy nitrobo i màroy ndra añ’ anjomban’ Añahare, ndra am-pitontonañ’ ao ndra an-drova ao.
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Tsy eo ka ty hamenteañe o tiñe anisìa’ iareo ahy henaneo.
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 Torah, and which are written in the Prophets;
Fe zao ty talilako ama’o te i Làlañe atao’ iereo firimboñañey ro itoroñako an’ Andrianañaharen-droae’ay am-patokisako ze hene milahatse amy Hake naho misokitse amo Mpitokio,
15 having hope towards God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
le mitamà an’ Andrianañahare, ze toe salalae’ iareo ka, te toe eo ty fivañonañe amy havilasiy ho a o vañoñeo naho ho a o tsereheñeo.
16 In this I also practise always having a conscience void of offence towards God and men.
Le izay ty imaneako lomoñandro t’ie ho aman-troke mazava tsy aman-dilatse aman’ Añahare naho ama’ ondaty.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Ie naha-ritse taoñe maromaro añe, le nibalike mb’etoa iraho ninday falalàñe ho an-drofokoko naho hañenga.
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Izay ty nanoeko amy anjomban’ Añaharey te nizoe’ iereo, ie fa nañefe-batañe, tsy an-dahialeñe tsy an-kotakotake, fe teo o Jiosy nte-Asiao;
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
nisoa t’ie niatrek’ azo etoañe, haneseke, naho toe anaña’e hakeo.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Naho tsy izay, ee te ho talilie’ ondaty retiañe ze hakeo nioni’ iereo amako amy nijohañako añatrefa’ i Sinedrionaiy,
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing amongst them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
naho tsy i raha raike nikoiheko te nijohañ’ añ´atrefa’ey ami’ty hoe: Ty fitroaran-kavilasy ro izakañe ahy miatrek’ anahareo henaneo.
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.”
Fe i Feliksa, ie nahafohiñe soa o raha mioza amy Làlañey ro nampandiñe iereo ami’ty hoe: Ie mizotso mb’etoa t’i Lisia, talè, le ho rendreko soa ty ama’o.
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.
Le linili’e ty mpifehe zato ty hiambeñe aze fe nado’e hidada, mbore tsy nirarà’e hiatrak’ aze o rañe’eo.
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 Messiah Yeshua.
Ie añe ty andro tsy ampeampe, le totsak’eo ty Feliksa naho i Drosilae vali’e, Jiosy. Nampikanjieñe t’i Paoly vaho nijanjiña’ iereo ty fatokisañe Iesoà Norizañeiy.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgement to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
Aa ie nañoke ty havantañañe naho ty filieram-batañe naho ty zaka ho avy le nihondrahondra t’i Feliksa nanao ty hoe: Akia hey irehe, le ho tokaveko an-tsa mete.
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.
Nitamà’e ka te ho mea’ i Paoly drala, aa le nipaia’e beteke hifanaontsia’e.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favour with the Judeans, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Ie re nitampetse ty roe taoñe, le nandimbe i Feliksa t’i Porsio Festosy, fa te hañosikosike o Tehodao ty Feliksa, le nenga’e mirohy ao t’i Paoly.
