Dɔwɔwɔwo 24
1 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, nunɔlagã Anania kple eŋumewo yi Kaesarea be yewoatsɔ nya ɖe Paulo ŋu. Ame siwo nɔ Anania ŋu la woe nye, Yudatɔwo ƒe kplɔla aɖewo kple senyala Tertulo.
Ngemva kwensuku ezinhlanu umphristi omkhulu u-Ananiya wehlela eKhesariya labadala abathile kanye lomeli owayethiwa nguThethula, bafika beneka ukumangalela kwabo uPhawuli kumbusi.
2 Esi mɔmefia la bia gbe wo la, Tertulo ƒo nu ɖe wo nu gblɔ be, “Amegã bubutɔ Felix, le wò kpɔkplɔ nyui la te la, mí Yudatɔwo míekpɔ tomefafa kple bubu, eye amewo megakpɔa mí abe nu tsɛ aɖewo ko ene o.
UPhawuli esebiziwe, uThethula walethula icala kuFelikhe wathi: “Mhlekazi! Ngaphansi kombuso wakho sesikholise isikhathi sokuthula eside, ikanti lombono wakho usulethe intuthuko kulesisizwe.
3 Ke le afi sia afi míele akpe manyagblɔ aɖe dam na wò tso míaƒe dzi me ke ɖe esia ta.
Yonke indawo, ngazozonke izindlela, mhlekazi omuhle Felikhe, siyakwamukela konke lokhu ngokubonga okukhulu.
4 Nyemedi be magblẽ ɣeyiɣi na wò boo o, eya ta meɖe kuku na wò mayi nye nya dzi agblɔe kpuie ko le wò dɔmefafa la nu.
Kodwa ukuthi ngingakuchitheli isikhathi, ngiyakucela ukuthi uke usizwe kancinyane esikutshoyo.
5 “Ame si wokplɔ va gbɔwòe la, ame vɔ̃ɖi aɖe ŋutɔ wònye. Eƒe dɔ koe nye be wòanɔ ʋunyaʋunya dem Yudatɔwo dome le xexea me katã godoo be woatsi tsitre ɖe Roma dziɖuɖu la ŋu, anɔ woƒe sewo kple kɔnuwo dzi dam. Eya kee nye habɔbɔ si woyɔna be, Nazaretitɔwo la ƒe amegã.
Indoda le siyifumane ukuthi iluhlupho, ivusa isiphithiphithi phakathi kwamaJuda kuwo wonke umhlaba. Ingumholi wequla lamaNazarini
6 Nu si gavlo wu lae nye be edi be yeado vlo míaƒe gbedoxɔ la hafi míeva do ɖe edzi helée. [Ɖe míebe míadrɔ̃ ʋɔnue le míaƒe se la nu hafi.
futhi yazama njalo ukungcolisa ithempeli; yikho sayibamba. Sasifuna ukumahlulela ngokomlayo wethu. [
7 Ke asrafowo ƒe amegã Lisia va xɔe le mía si sesẽtɔe
Kodwa umlawuli uLisiya weza wazamthatha ngodlakela ezandleni zethu, wathi obamangalelayo kabeze phambi kwakhe].
8 eye wòna be enutsolawo nava gbɔwò.] Ne wò ŋutɔ èse eƒe numegbe ko la, ekema míaƒe nya me akɔ na wò.”
Ngokumhlola wena ngokwakho uzalibona iqiniso ngazozonke lezizinto esimangalela ngazo.”
9 Yudatɔ mamlɛawo xɔ ɖe Tertulo ƒe nyawo dzi be wole eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe ene.
AmaJuda lawo ayingenela indaba eqinisa ukuthi lezizinto zaziliqiniso.
10 Azɔ eɖo Paulo hã dzi be wòaɖe eɖokui nu. Mɔmefiagã la wɔ asi nɛ be wòatso aƒo nu. Paulo ɖe eɖokui nu gblɔ be, “Amegã bubutɔ, menya be menye egbee nèle Yudatɔwo ƒe nyawo drɔ̃m o. Le esia ta la, dzideƒo le asinye be maɖe ɖokuinye nu le gbɔwò.
Kwathi umbusi esemphile ithuba lokuthi akhulume uPhawuli waphendula wathi: “Ngiyazi ukuthi usube ngumahluli walesisizwe okweminyaka eminengi; ngakho ngizivikela ngesibindi langentokozo.
11 Anɔ abe ŋkeke wuieve koe nye esi ene, meva ɖo Yerusalem be mawɔ subɔsubɔdɔ le gbedoxɔ me.
Ungalithola iqiniso lokuthi kakudluli insuku ezilitshumi lambili ngiyile eJerusalema ukuyakhonza.
12 Ame siwo le nunye tsom la mekpɔm menɔ nya hem kple ame aɖeke le gbedoxɔ la me alo de zitɔtɔ ameha aɖewo dome le ƒuƒoƒe aɖeke alo le dua ƒe akpa aɖeke o.
Abangimangalelayo kabazange bangifumane ngiphikisana lomuntu ethempelini, loba ngitshotshozela amaxuku emasinagogweni kumbe ngaphi edolobheni.
13 Le nya si wotsɔ ɖe nunye fifia la hã me la, womate ŋu aɖee afia be enye nyateƒe o.
Bangezake balethe ubufakazi kuwe balezizinto abangimangalela ngazo.
14 Ke hã la, melɔ̃ ɖe edzi be mesubɔa mía fofowo ƒe Mawu la abe ame si le Mɔ la dzi ene, esi amewo yɔna be kɔmama. Mexɔ nu sia nu si sɔ kple se la kple nu siwo woŋlɔ ɖe nyagblɔɖigbalẽawo me la dzi se.
Kodwa ngiyavuma ukuthi ngikhonza uNkulunkulu wabokhokho bethu, njengomlandeli weNdlela abayibiza ngokuthi ngumvukela. Ngiyakukholwa konke okuvumelana loMlayo lokubhaliweyo kubaphrofethi,
15 Mexɔe se hã abe ame siawo ke ene be Mawu ana nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo kple ame dzɔdzɔewo siaa afɔ tso ku me,
njalo ngilethemba elifana lelamadoda la kuNkulunkulu, ukuthi kuzakuba lokuvuka kwabafileyo, abalungileyo lababi.
16 eye le esia ta la, medzea agbagba wɔa nye dzitsinya ŋuti dɔ nyuie be nye agbenɔnɔ nadze Mawu kple amegbetɔwo ŋu.”
Ngakho ngiyazama kokuphela ukuba isazela sami sihlale sihlanzekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu laphambi kwabantu.
17 Paulo yi eƒe nuƒoa dzi be, “Menɔ gbedzi ƒe geɖe, eye metrɔ va Yerusalem, hetsɔ ga ɖe asi be mava kpe ɖe Yudatɔwo ŋu, eye masa vɔ na Mawu hã.
Ngemva kweminyaka eminengi ngingekho, ngeza eJerusalema ukuletha izipho zabaswelayo ebantwini bakithi lokwethula iminikelo.
18 Nye futɔ siawo va ke ɖe ŋunye le gbedoxɔ la me, mele ŋutinye kɔm. Ameha aɖeke alo ʋunyaʋunya aɖeke menɔ afi ma kura o.
Ngangihlanzekile ngokomkhuba baze bangifumane ethempelini ngisenza lokhu. Kwakungelaxuku labantu elalilami, kumbe ukuthi ngangiphazamisa ngokuthile.
19 Ke dzɔgbevɔ̃etɔe la, Yudatɔ aɖewo, ame siwo tso Asia nuto me, ame siwo wòle be woanɔ afi sia hafi hã nɔ afi ma ɣe ma ɣi.
Kodwa kukhona amaJuda athile avela esifundeni sase-Ezhiya, okufanele ukuthi ngabe akhona lapha phambi kwakho, angethese icala nxa kukhona akusolayo ngami.
20 Bia ame siawo le afi sia fifia ŋutɔ be esi wokplɔm yi Yudatɔwo ƒe takpekpe gã la me ɖe, vodada ka wokpɔ le ŋunye mahã. Nu si megblɔ si ɖewohĩ
Kumbe wonala akhona kawachaze ukuthi licala bani alifumanayo kimi mhlazana ngimi eSanihedrini,
21 medze be magblɔ hafi o koe nye be, ‘Nu si ta wokplɔm va mia dome le takpekpe gã sia me ɖo lae nye be mexɔe se be ame siwo katã ku la agafɔ ɖe tsitre tso ku me!’”
ngaphandle kwalokhu kodwa engakumemezayo ngimi phambi kwawo ukuthi: ‘Kungenxa yokuvuka kwabafileyo okwenza ngithonisiswe phambi kwenu lamuhla.’”
22 Felix nya nyuie be kristotɔwo mewɔa ʋunyaʋunya o. Le esia ta la, egblɔ na Yudatɔwo be woalala va se ɖe esime asrafowo ƒe amegã, Lisia nava hafi yeatso nya la me.
Ngakho uFelikhe, owayesazi kakhulu ngeNdlela walimisa icala. Wathi, “Kuzakuthi nxa uLisiya umlawuli angafika ngizaliquma icala lenu.”
23 Ede se be woakplɔ Paulo ayi gaxɔa me, gake woakpɔ edzi nyuie. Woaɖe mɔ faa be exɔlɔ̃wo nava kpɔe ɖa, eye woate ŋu atsɔ nunanawo vɛ nɛ faa, be eƒe dzi nadze eme.
Walaya umphathi wekhulu ukuthi agcine uPhawuli elindiwe kodwa amvumele ukukhululeka okuthile kanye labangane bakhe ukuthi bamuphe lokho akuswelayo.
24 Le ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, Felix kple srɔ̃a Drusila, ame si nye Yudatɔ la va, eye woɖo ame ɖe Paulo be wòava. Esi Paulo va la, eƒo nu na wo le Yesu Kristo dzixɔse ƒe nyawo ŋu. Nyawo de to me na Felix srɔ̃ nyuie.
Ngemva kwensuku ezinengi uFelikhe wafika lomkakhe uDrusila owaye ngumJudakazi. Wathi kakubizwe uPhawuli, wamlalela echaza ngokukholwa kuJesu Khristu.
25 Ke esi wòɖe nya me na wo le dzɔdzɔenyenye, ɖokuidziɖuɖu kple ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ si li gbɔna ŋu la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖo Felix, eye wògblɔ na Paulo be neyi gbɔ, ne yegakpɔ ɣeyiɣi nyui aɖe la, yeagaɖo ame ɖee.
UPhawuli wathi esebalisa ngokulunga, langokuzithiba langokwahlulelwa okuzayo uFelikhe wesaba wathi, “Sekwanele okwamanje! Usungahamba. Kungaze kulunge njalo ngizakubiza.”
26 Felix nɔ mɔ kpɔm be Paulo ana zãnu ye, eya ta eyɔe zi geɖe henɔ nya me dzrom kplii.
Yena wayecabanga ukuthi uPhawuli uzamupha imali yokumfumbathisa, yikho wayembiza futhifuthi ekhuluma laye.
27 Wonɔ esia dzi alea ʋuu ƒe eve sɔŋ. Ke mlɔeba la, woɖe Felix le afi ma hetsɔ Porkio Festus ɖo eteƒe. Le esi Felix di be Yudatɔwo nakpɔ ŋudzedze le ye ŋu ta la, egblẽ Paulo ɖe gaxɔ me hafi dzo.
Isidlule iminyaka emibili, uFelikhe walandelwa esikhundleni nguPhokhiyu Festasi, kodwa ngoba uFelikhe wayefuna ukuthabisa amaJuda, watshiya uPhawuli elokhu esentolongweni.
