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;
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 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,
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 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;
Khulusano iwoni tukwupielila khilakhinu iekyuvuvomba, nikhukhuponia viendwanchiwa feliki.
4 and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;
Saniekhakhusakhinche ukhulutiliela, nikhukhudova wiemulihinche ninchove padebe agiilocha khulyuve.
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 —
Ulwakhuva umunu uyu imbivi hange insongelehani veikhuvavikha ava-yahudi voni ukwitengha khilunga hanghe viendonghonchi vamipelela igya va-wanazoloyo.
6 who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,
Hange agelile ukhuviekha wuvivi mpelela pwutukhamwibata, uvusimolie mumbusimbe uvunonu awakatale). (nchingahiencha; uvusimbe uvwu
7 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,
Lisiasi, likhuludeva, ainchile akhantola khumakha mumavokho gietu, na mumbusimbe uwavighwle vunonu uwakhatale).
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;'
Ungambunche upavuli kyumbmboinchi sakhalumanye khulikhikhi akhinu eikyuvikhung'iega”.
9 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.
Avayahudi vope vakhansitakha upavuli, v akhata imbombo inchi nchikhale ncha lweli.
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;
Untwa akhinula ikhivokho ukhuta upavuli anchove, upavuli akhamula, “nilumanyile ukhuta khwu mijiaka imingi ukhale ndamuli vakhilunga iekhi, nilienuluhekhelo ukiviyelesya yune khulyuve.
11 thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,
Vukhuluanya ukhuta safilutile ifighoono khinchigo na fivile ukhuhuma upunalutile khukwiesaya kuyelusalemu.
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;
Vuvambwene muntembile, sanakanihane numunu, khange sanavombe uvugalo mnkutano, numumipelela na munkilunga;
13 nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.
Na savakhawesye ukhunchova vwayile khunongwa iinchuvikhung'iega une.
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,
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 they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;
Nilienamakha galagala khwa u Nguluve, uguu na vope vikhunchuka uwavafwile, khuvoni avalivuvuli imbivi na avalienimbivi voni;
16 and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.
khwu ilie nayune ni vomba imbomba khuta nive ninumbu inchiilambivi pavulongolo wa Nguluve napamiho pavano ukhugeendele imbombo nchoni.
17 'And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,
Leino vugielutile imyakha vugielutilile ninchile kuleta ulutangielo nkiilunga kyago nukhuvonola nindalama.
18 in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,
Navile nievombile iewo, avayahudi avange avakhu asia vakhambona vunielinduhekhelo ulwa wumi mungaati mutembile, vuvasipali avanu vingi khange pakhava myiee.
19 whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,
Avanu ava uvuvakhanogile ukhuva pamiho ghakho lieno ulwa vanchove ukyuvalienakyo ikyango ndavalienesela ayavinchaga.
20 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,
Apange avanu ava vanchove eikyuniekhanangile iekyuvakhiwene khulyune vuneimile pavulongolo pavuhigii uwa va yahudi;
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.'
Ukhuva nikhanchovile iekhinu khimo khumakha upwuniekhimile pagati pavene, “ulwakhuva uvuchukha uwavafue umwe mukhung'iega.”
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;'
Ufeliki akhavuliwe vunonu injiela, pwakhae lulekha ululundamano akhanchova “lisia nkuludeva akhiva itolga ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu pwuyunilamu ukhuhiegiwa khulyume.”
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.
Pwu akahalamuta untwa andolelage upavuli, hange ave nunsiekhi alekhe umunu uvakhuvabencha avamanyani vamwene ukhuta valekhe ukhuntanga hange valekhe ukhungeendela.
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,
Vufilutile ifighono fidebe akhincha undala vamwene u-dlusila uviale injahudi, khasuha khukhumwianga upavuli apulihinche amamenyu agalwidiko mungaati wa klisite uyesu.
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;'
Upavuli vuvinchovana numwene mumbulweli, ukhuleka ukhulutilila akhiva vilamula pavuhighi uvukwincha, ufeliki akhava nuvundwanchi akhamula, “lutaka khuvutali lino, nienghapate unsiekhe nikhukwilangha.
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;
unsiekhe ugwaa ahuile ukhuta upavuli ikhumpa indalama pwa akhamwilangha khanghe akhachova nave.
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.
Imyaka ghewile vughisilile, upolkio ufesto akhava nuntwa khandekha efeliki, ulwakhuva ufeliki unogwa ukwihegelencha khuvayahudi, pwakandekha upavuli mwondyongomencho.
