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;

Dana mu bo pendi ke salayidkaaba cianmo Ananasi yeni bi nikpejuogikaaba, yeni mi mabanma liiga yua, yua ke bi yi o Tetule lan niba n bo ciani Poli o dogdaano kani kelima bi bi pia yenba ti buudi.

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,

Ya yognu ke Poli bo sedi o dogdaano nituali nni, Omabando Tetule bo cili mi maama ke bua wan jaligi o ki yedi: «o dogdaano ya ŋalibalgi po i ke ti kuli ye yeni mi yanduanma yeni a maalŋama mɔ ya po i ke ti dogu kuli lebdi ki ŋanbi

3 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;

Li tie ŋalbalgi boncianli a po ti pala nni yeni ŋan tieni yaala kuli; ti jaandi ŋa hali boncianla Felisi.

4 and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;

ki fidi, min da biandi a yaama, n ba mia a ŋan cengi nni bonŋanla yeni mi yanfuomama.

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 —

Kelima ti diidi ki sua ke o ja ne tie ya nibiado n ba fidi ki fiini ŋanduna nni juufinba pala ki cedi ban fiini mi yiema. O tie Nasareti jaantieba liiga yua i.

6 who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,

O jagi ki ba fanbi ku jaandiegu i ke ti cuo o.

7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,

Ama, Lisia o seje ciamo mɔndi ki fie o ti nui nni yeni u paalu, ki gedi yeni o.

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;'

A ya buali pɔli li maama po, a ba gbadi i mɔmɔni tin jalgi o yaali ya po.

9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.

Ke juufinba todi ki jalgi Pɔli ki yedi ke ke ban jalgi o yaali ya po tie mɔmɔni i.

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;

Ama gobna n ́ teni Pɔli mi maama ke wan maadi, Pɔli ń jiini, “N gbadi ke a tie ti buudi yudaano u dogu ne li tieni bina, ke n pali mani yeni mi ba yaadi mini nba, ki waani i mɔmɔni.

11 thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,

A ba fidi ki kpaagi ki bandi ke piiga n dana lie n yeni, mi gedi Jerusalema ki ba pugi U Tienu.

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;

Ban la nni ku jaandiegu nni, n ki bo gagi yeni nilo, n bi ki fiindi bi niba pala yiko cogdieli kani yeni u dogu nni.

13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.

Bi kan fidi ki teni kasiedi ban jalgi nni yaali ya po.

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,

Ama n tuo a nintuali nni ke ban yi yaali jaanbuofanu yeni, n li ŋua mani i ki pugi ti yaajanba Tienu, N dugi ki go cɔlni yaali n ye yiko tili nni yeni sawalpuaba ń diani yaali kuli.

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;

N pia li dandanli U Tienu nni nani ya niba ne yeni, ke mi faadma ba tieni bi niteginkaaba yeni bi nibiadba po kuli.

16 and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

Lanyapo i ke n tie ania ke min ya pia ya yantiaŋanli n ki pia tagli U Tienu yeni bi niba po.

17 'And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,

Li tieni bina ke mii ye ne, n cua yeni li todli n dogu yaaba po yeni i ligi bu paabu po.

18 in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,

Min tieni lani, juufinba yaaba n ñani Asi den la nni ku jaandiegu nni ke n tie mi wuliŋanbima bogda, laa den tie niwulgu nni bii ŋmadli ń ye naani.

19 whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,

Bi niba ne ya pia maamaba, bi ji ba fidi ki nagni a nintuali ki waani ban jalgi nni yaali ya po.

20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,

Lanyaaka li niba ba fidi ki waani juufinba yiko danba nintuali ban la yaali n po ke laa tiegi.

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.'

Li nan yaa tie min den ye bi siiga nni ki tandi ki maadi yaama ke yuakuli gbadi yaa ka, “Bi kpienba faadma po ya buudi ke bi bua jia nni a nintuali nni dinne.”

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;'

Feliksi yua n den bani li maama fuuli den yedi ke juufinba ń juuni, ki yedi, “Komanda Lisia ya ñani Jerusalema ki kpeni, n ba jia i buudi.”

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.

ki puogi seje kobga yudaano ke wan ya guu Pɔli bonŋanla, libakuli ń da pɔdi o, ki da ŋa o nitaanli nni bá niyendo ń da cua o kani yeni bonli ke o bua todi o.

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,

Lan tieni danaba, Feliksi den guani pɔli kani yeni o denpua Drusila, ke o tie juufi, ki cedi ke bi yini Pɔli ke o ba cengi o yaali n tie ti dudugdi Jesu Kiristo nni.

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;'

Ama nani Pɔli ń den kubi mi maama mi teginma po, mi yanduanma po yeni ya buudi n ba juodi ki cua po yeni, ti jawaandi den cuo Feliksi, ke o yedi: «Dá guani ki lebdi o, ama n ya baa u sanu ya yogu, n ba sɔni ki yini a.»

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;

Lan yognu goga, o den daani ke pɔli ba suu o i ligi, lanyapo, ke o den suani ki yi o ki boe yeni o.

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.

Ama bina lie ń pendi, ke Pɔrsiwusi Festusi ga Feliksi ki tua gobna, Ama nani Feliksi den bua juufinba ninmanga yeni, ke o cedi ke Pɔli li luo li kpaadidieli nni.
