Acts 24
1 And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator — Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul;
Pagapite moŵa nsano, che Anania Jŵambopesi Jwankulu pamo ni achachekulu ŵampepe ni mundu jwa malajisyo ga Chiloma liina lyakwe che Telitulo ŵatuluchile ku Kaisalia. Ni ŵajawile kwa che Felikisi jula ni ŵansalile yanayose iŵammechetelaga che Paolo.
2 and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, 'Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought,
Che Felikisi ŵammilasile che Paolo ni che Telitulo ŵatandite kwaŵechetela achitiji. “Alakwe ambuje che Felikisi, ntulongwesye yambone ni uweji tukutama kwa chitendewele katema kose ni kulinganya kwa indu kukupanganyikwa kwa upoche wa ŵandu ŵetu.
3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
Tukwitichisya yelei mu kusengwa moŵa gose ni kuntogolela kwannope alakwe papalipose.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;
Nambo pangansakalisya nnope, ngunchondelela ntupililile ni kutupilikanila itukuŵecheta.
5 for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world — a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes —
Tukumanyilila kuti mundu ju ali jwakogoya nnope. Atandisye utindiganyo mwa Ŵayahudi papalipose pachilambo pose ni sooni ali jwankulu jwa mpingo wa chidini wa Ŵanasaleti.
6 who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,
Ni sooni ŵalingaga kujisakasya Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, noweji twankamwile. Twasachile kwalamula ni malajisyo getu twachinsyene.
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,
Nambo che Lusia jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja, ŵaiche ni kunjigala mmakono mwetu kwa machili.
8 having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;'
Ni ŵalamwile kuti ŵakwaŵechetela wo aichanje kukwenu, nomwe mwasyene chinkombole kwauchilichisya ni kwimanyilila uchenene indu itukwaŵechetela.”
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Ŵayahudi wose nombe ŵajitichisye chiŵaŵechete che Telitulo kuti chili chisyene.
10 And Paul answered — the governor having beckoned to him to speak — 'Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;
Nipele jwankulu jwa chilambo jula ŵangolochesye nkono che Paolo kuti aŵechete. Che Paolo ni ŵatite, “Ngusangalala nnope kulichenjela paujo penu pakuŵa ngumanyilila kuti alakwe ndi jwakulamula jwa ŵandu ŵetu kwa yaka yejinji.
11 thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Pakuŵa alakwe mwasyene nkumanyilila kuti nganigapunde moŵa kumi na mbili chitandile panajawile kukupopela ku Yelusalemu.
12 and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;
Ŵayahudi nganasimana une njianganganaga ni mundu jwalijose. Nganasimana une njitindiganyaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pane mmajumba gao ga kupopelela atamuno palipose mmusi mo.
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Sooni ŵanyaŵa ngaakombola kunsalila alakwe usyene wa yakumechetela une sambano yo.
14 'And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,
Chingwitichisya paujo penu chili chimo, uneji ngwapopelela Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu, njilikuyaga alila litala lyaakuliŵilanga ŵanyawo kuti lili lya unami. Ngukulupilila yanayose yailembekwe mu itabu ya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu.
15 having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;
Uneji ngwete chilolelo kwa Akunnungu mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakulolela, kuti chikupagwe kusyuka kwa ŵandu ŵambone ni ŵangalumbana.
16 and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
Nipele moŵa gose ngulinga nningwa wangu uŵe wambone paujo pa Akunnungu ni kwa ŵandu.
17 'And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
“Panatemi yaka yejinji kwakutalika ko, nausile ku Yelusalemu kuti naaichisye ŵandu ŵa chilambo changu yakwakamuchisya kwa ligongo lya ŵakulaga ni kukutaga mbopesi.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Panaliji nkutenda yeleyo ni paŵasimene une pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ndili masile kuliswejesya. Nganiupagwa mpingo wa ŵandu natamuno utindiganyo.
19 whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Nambo ŵapali Ŵayahudi ŵane ŵaŵatyochele ku Asia, ŵanyawo ni ŵaŵaŵajilwe kuŵa paujo penu ni kuumechetela une iŵaga akwete chakuumechetela.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,
Pane achinsyene ŵa asale chileŵo chiŵachisimene kukwangu panaliji pa Nkungulu wao wekulu,
21 except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them — Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.'
ikaŵe yankati liloŵe limo peli linaŵechete panajimi paujo pao kuti, ‘Ngulamulikwa lelo jino pakuŵa ngukulupilila kuti ŵawile chasyuswe.’”
22 And having heard these things, Felix delayed them — having known more exactly of the things concerning the way — saying, 'When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;'
Nambo che Felikisi nsyene ŵaliji nkulimanyilila uchenene litala lyo, ŵaunichile ligambo lila ni kwasalila, “Pataiche che Lusia jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jo, chilamule magambo genu.”
23 having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.
Ni jwankulu jula ŵalamwile anjigale che Paolo ni kwalindilila, nambo aŵe ni uhulu kanandi ni akasaalekasya achambusangagwe kwapa yaikwasoŵa.
24 And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,
Pagapite moŵa gampepe, ŵaiche che Felikisi pamo ni che Dulusila ŵankwawo juŵaliji Myahudi. Ŵalamwile kuti aŵilanjikwe che Paolo ni ŵampilikanilaga achiŵechetaga yankati kwakulupilila Che Yesu Kilisito.
25 and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, 'For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;'
Nambo paŵatandite che Paolo kuŵecheta yankati indu yaikwatenda ŵandu aŵe ŵambone ni ungapundanganya ni lyuŵa Akunnungu lichiŵalamule ŵandu wose, che Felikisi ŵajogwepe ni ŵatite, “Sano njauleje, chinammilanje sooni napataga lipesa.”
26 and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him;
Katema ko che Felikisi ŵalolelaga kuti chapegwe mbiya ni che Paolo. Ligongo lyo ŵapundile kwaŵilanga sooni ni sooni kunguluka nawo.
27 and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.
Payapite yaka iŵili, che Polikio Festo ŵaliji chilongola pamalo pa che Felikisi juŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo. Pakuŵa che Felikisi ŵasachile kwanonyelesya Ŵayahudi ŵalesile che Paolo mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa mula.
