Mitendo 24
1 Hakumana mazuva akwana iyanza, Ananiyasi mulena wamapulisita, nivamwi vakulwana, ni mutoroki yosumpwa Teretulo, vava yendi ko. Ava vakwame vava leti mulandu kuhambiliza Paulusi kumu vusisi.
Now after fiue dayes, Ananias the hie Priest came downe with the Elders, and with Tertullus a certaine oratour, which appeared before the Gouernour against Paul.
2 Linu Paulusi hazimana havusu vwa muvusisi, Teretulo chatanga kumu hambiliza imi chati kwa musisi,” Chevaka lyako twina inkozo inkando; imikuvona kwako kuvaleti kuzakwa chincha mwinkanda yetu;
And when he was called foorth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that we haue obtained great quietnesse through thee, and that many worthy things are done vnto this nation through thy prouidence,
3 ku litumela kwetu konse tuamuhela zintu zonse zopanga, ukondise Felekisi.
We acknowledge it wholy, and in all places most noble Felix, with all thankes,
4 Ili kuti senzi niku viki mwintolongo hape ni kamuta, ni ku kumbila cha vufuhi uniteke cha kuluka.
But that I be not tedious vnto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest heare vs of thy courtesie a fewe wordes.
5 Kakuti twawana uzo mukwame kuti njo memeza yoletiseze maJuda mwinkanda yonse kusandukila muvuso. Njiyena muyendisi wa Nazarene i keluhite.
Certainely we haue found this man a pestilent fellowe, and a moouer of sedition among all the Iewes throughout the world, and a chiefe maintainer of the secte of the Nazarites:
6 Ava liki kusitatalisa itempele; cwale cha suminwa. Imi tuva kusaka kumu atula che nkatulo yetu.
And hath gone about to pollute the Temple: therefore wee tooke him, and woulde haue iudged him according to our Lawe:
But the chiefe captaine Lysias came vpon vs, and with great violence tooke him out of our handes,
8 Kono muyendisi chasika chenkaani chivamuhinda munza etu, hamuvuza Paulusi heyi indava, ni nwe kamuwole kulituta ka chituva hambilizi kacho.”
Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest (if thou wilt inquire) know all these things whereof we accuse him.
9 Majuda nivakopene vava hambilinzi Paulusi, navo, michivamba kuti izi zintu ivali kusakusimwa.
And the Iewes likewise affirmed, saying that it was so.
10 Kono linu muvusisi hasumpa Paulusi kuti zawambe, Paulusi chetava, “Ni zuwisisa kuti kazilimo zingi uvali umuatuli weyi inkanda. imi cwale nilitule kulitoloka kwaako.
Then Paul, after that the gouernour had beckened vnto him that hee shoulde speake, answered, I do the more gladly answere for my selfe, for as much as I knowe that thou hast bene of many yeres a iudge vnto this nation,
11 U wola kuvonisisa kuti kena kuva hitilili mazuva akwana ikumi ni wovele chinga niva yendi kukalapela mwa Jerusalema;
Seeing that thou mayest knowe, that there are but twelue dayes since I came vp to worship in Hierusalem.
12 imi linu havaniwana mwi kereke, kana niva kanani ni muntu, kana niva susuezi chichava, ni haike mumasinagoge, kapa mumuleñi;
And they neither found mee in the Temple disputing with any man, neither making vproare among the people, neither in the Synagogues, nor in the citie.
13 imi hape kava woli kuleta vupaki kwenu vwe ndava zivava hambilizi hewulu lyangu hanu.
Neither can they proue the things, whereof they now accuse me.
14 Kono ni litumelele izi kwenu, kakuya che nzila iva sumpa kukeluha, mwinzila iswana ni seveleza Ireeza uva kuku wetu. Ni sepahala ku zonse za mulao ni ziva ñolwa kuvaporofita.
But this I confesse vnto thee, that after the way (which they call heresie) so worship I the God of my fathers, beleeuing all things which are written in the Lawe and the Prophets,
15 Ni na insepo iswana kwa Ireeza, ili njava vakwame naavo muvayilindile, kukeza kuvuka kwa vaantu vafwile, kuvalukite ni vasalukite;
And haue hope towardes God, that the resurrection of the dead, which they themselues looke for also, shalbe both of iust and vniust.
16 imi mweezi, ni tenda kuti nive nizwalo nikusa nyazahala havusu vwa Ireeza ni vaantu muzintu zonse.
And herein I endeuour my selfe to haue alway a cleare conscience towarde God, and toward men.
17 Linu hakuhita zilimo zingi china leta intuso kwi nkanda yangu ni impo ya masheleñi.
Now after many yeres, I came and brought almes to my nation and offerings.
18 Lyahanu ha nitenda izi, vamwi kumaJuda vazwa mwa Asia chivani wana ni joloza mikiti mwi kereke, insiñi cha chichava kapa chakukamba.
At what time, certaine Iewes of Asia founde mee purified in the Temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Ava vakwame vaswanela kwiza havusu vwako hahanu mi zeva wambe zivani lwisikiza, heva vena chimwi.
Who ought to haue bene present before thee, and accuse me, if they had ought against me.
20 Heva njovulyo, ava vakwame vaswanela kuwamba vuvi vuva wana kwangu hana zima havusu vwe nkuta ya majuda;
Or let these themselues say, if they haue found any vniust thing in mee, while I stoode in the Council,
21 haisi konji kuti i amana nechi chintu chonke chini vawambi chakutumusa hanivazimene mukati kavo,' kuamana nikubuka kuva fwile kuni kwete kuatwilwa sunu kwenu.
Except it be for this one voyce, that I cried standing among them, Of the resurrection of the dead am I accused of you this day.
22 Felekisi ava kwizi kuamana ni nzila, imi cha twala havusu intomelo yakwe. Chawamba, “inako ni nako Lysiyasi muyendisi wa masole hakeza hansi kuzwa kwa Jerusalema, kani atule muzeko wako.”
Nowe when Felix heard these things, he deferred them, and said, When I shall more perfectly know the things which concerne this way, by the comming of Lysias the chiefe Captaine, I will decise your matter.
23 Linu mukulwana chalaela mulauli kuti a gantele Paulusi, kono uswanela kumu vavalela, mi kakwina yo swanela kukanisa valikani vakwe kumutusa kapa kumupotela.
Then hee commanded a Centurion to keepe Paul, and that he should haue ease, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister vnto him, or to come vnto him.
24 Hakuhita mazuva, Felexisi chavola ni Durusicila mwihyavwe, wa mujuda, imi chatumika Paulusi imi avazuwi kwa kuamana nintumelo kwa Jesu Keresite.
And after certaine dayes, came Felix with his wife Drusilla, which was a Iewesse, and he called foorth Paul, and heard him of the faith in Christ.
25 Kono Paulusi havali kulikananisa naye kuamana ni, kuliyendisa umwine, ni inkatulo ikezite, Felekisi chezilwa kutya mi chati, “Muyende uko hanu. Kono chi na wana chivaka chinekalakala, ka nimi sumpe.”
And as he disputed of righteousnes and temperance, and of the iudgement to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time, and when I haue conuenient time, I will call for thee.
26 Chenako iswana avali kuzeza kuti Paulusi kamuhe masheliñi, inako ni nako ava kutumina kwakwe niku wamba naye.
Hee hoped also that money shoulde haue bene giuen him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore hee sent for him the oftner, and communed with him.
27 Kono linu zilimo zovele hazihita, Posiyasi Fesitasi cheza kuva muvusisi hakuzwa Felekisi, kono Felikisi ava kusaka kuti asakahale ahulu kumaJuda, cwale chasiya Paulusi kuti azwile havusu mwi ntolongo.
When two yeeres were expired, Porcius Festus came into Felix roume: and Felix willing to get fauour of the Iewes, left Paul bound.
