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.
Kwathi emva kwensuku ezinhlanu uAnaniya umpristi omkhulu wehla labadala lomkhulumeli othile uTertulo, abamangalela uPawuli 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.
Kwathi esebiziwe, uTertulo waqala ukumcala esithi: Ukuthula okukhulu sikuzuzile ngawe, lemisebenzi emihle yenzakele kulesisizwe ngokunakekela kwakho,
3 Ke le afi sia afi míele akpe manyagblɔ aɖe dam na wò tso míaƒe dzi me ke ɖe esia ta.
ngazo zonke indlela lakuzo zonke indawo siyakwemukela, mhlekazi Felike, ngakho konke ukubonga.
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 ukuze ngingakubambeleli kakhulu, ngiyakuncenga ukuthi ngomusa wakho usizwe ngokufitshane.
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.
Ngoba lindoda siyifice iyinkathazo, njalo ingeyenza umvukela phakathi kwamaJuda wonke emhlabeni jikelele, lomkhokheliqembu wobubhazuka bamaNazaretha;
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.
eyake yazama lokungcolisa ithempeli; esike sayibamba sithanda ukuyehlulela ngokomlayo wethu,
7 Ke asrafowo ƒe amegã Lisia va xɔe le mía si sesẽtɔe
kodwa kwafika uLisiya induna enkulu wamthatha ngodlakela olukhulu ezandleni zethu,
8 eye wòna be enutsolawo nava gbɔwò.] Ne wò ŋutɔ èse eƒe numegbe ko la, ekema míaƒe nya me akɔ na wò.”
elaya abamangaleli bakhe ukuthi beze kuwe; ongathi, ngokumbuzisisa wena uqobo, ungaba lakho ukwazi kuye ngazo zonke izinto thina esimmangalela ngazo.
9 Yudatɔ mamlɛawo xɔ ɖe Tertulo ƒe nyawo dzi be wole eme tututu abe ale si wògblɔe ene.
LamaJuda lawo avuma, esithi lezizinto zinjalo.
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.
UPawuli wasephendula, umbusi esemqhwebile ukuthi akhulume, wathi: Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi sekuyiminyaka eminengi ungumahluleli phezu kwalesisizwe, ngiyaziphendulela ngesibindi esikhulu ngezinto zami,
11 Anɔ abe ŋkeke wuieve koe nye esi ene, meva ɖo Yerusalem be mawɔ subɔsubɔdɔ le gbedoxɔ me.
njengoba ungakubona ukuthi kakukadluli insuku ezilitshumi lambili, lokhu ngenyukele eJerusalema ukukhuleka;
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.
njalo kabangificanga ethempelini ngiphikisana lomuntu loba ngivusa isiphithiphithi exukwini, loba emasinagogeni, loba emzini.
13 Le nya si wotsɔ ɖe nunye fifia la hã me la, womate ŋu aɖee afia be enye nyateƒe o.
Futhi bangeke baqinise ngezinto abangimangalela ngazo khathesi.
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 kuwe lokhu, ukuthi ngendlela abayibiza ngokuthi yibubhazuka, ngokunjalo ngiyamkhonza uNkulunkulu wabobaba, ngikholwa konke okulotshiweyo emlayweni lakubaprofethi;
15 Mexɔe se hã abe ame siawo ke ene be Mawu ana nu vɔ̃ wɔlawo kple ame dzɔdzɔewo siaa afɔ tso ku me,
ngilethemba kuNkulunkulu, abalilindeleyo labo uqobo lwabo, elokuthi kuzakuba khona ukuvuka kwabafileyo, okwabalungileyo kanye labangalunganga.
16 eye le esia ta la, medzea agbagba wɔa nye dzitsinya ŋuti dɔ nyuie be nye agbenɔnɔ nadze Mawu kple amegbetɔwo ŋu.”
Njalo kulokho mina ngiyazama, ukuthi ngibe lesazela esingelacala phambi kukaNkulunkulu labantu isikhathi sonke.
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.
Kwathi emva kweminyaka eminengi ngafika ukuletha izipho zomusa esizweni sakithi leminikelo;
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.
ngikulezizinto amaJuda athile avela eAsiya angifica ethempelini ngihlanjululwe, kungekho ixuku loba isiphithiphithi;
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.
afanele ukuba khona lapha phambi kwakho angicale uba elolutho 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 bona ngokwabo kabatsho, ukuthi baficani okungalunganga kimi, mhla ngimi phambi komphakathi,
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 kwalelolizwi elilodwa, engalimemeza ngimi phakathi kwabo ngisithi: Ngokuvuka kwabafileyo mina ngiyehlulelwa yini 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.
Kwathi uFelike wabadlulisela phambili, esezwile lezizinto esazi ngokupheleleyo izinto ngaleyondlela, esithi: Nxa uLisiya induna enkulu isiyehlile, ngizayihlolisisa indaba yenu;
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.
waselaya induna yekhulu ukuthi agcinwe uPawuli, lokuthi abe lenkululeko, njalo kungalelwa muntu wakibo ukumncedisa kumbe ukuza kuye.
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.
Kwathi emva kwensuku ezithile, uFelike weza loDrusila umkakhe engumJudakazi, wathumela ukubiza uPawuli, wamuzwa mayelana lokholo kuKristu.
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.
Kwathi esakhuluma ngokulunga langokuzithiba langokwahlulela okuzayo, uFelike watshaywa luvalo waphendula wathi: Hamba okwakhathesi; nxa sengizuze ithuba elihle ngizakubizela kimi;
26 Felix nɔ mɔ kpɔm be Paulo ana zãnu ye, eya ta eyɔe zi geɖe henɔ nya me dzrom kplii.
njalo ngesikhathi esifananayo wayethemba futhi ukuthi uzanikwa imali nguPawuli, ukuze amkhulule; ngakho wayehlezi embizela kuye 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.
Kodwa sekugcwaliseke iminyaka emibili, uFelike wemukela omlandelayo uPorkiyu uFestusi; uFelike efisa ukuthokozisa amaJuda wamtshiya uPawuli ebotshiwe.
