Misala ya Bantoma 25
1 Mikolo misato sima na ye koya kati na etuka, Festisi alongwaki na Sezarea mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi
And when Festus arrived at Caesarea, he, after three days, went up to Jerusalem.
2 epai wapi bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bakendeki kokutana na ye mpo na kofunda Polo. Babondelaki mingi Festisi
And the chief priests and the head men of the Jews made representations to him concerning Paul.
3 mpo ete asalela bango ngolu ya kotinda Polo na Yelusalemi, pamba te basalaki mabongisi ya kotiela ye motambo na nzela mpo na koboma ye.
And they petitioned him, asking of him the favor, that he would send for him to come to Jerusalem; they placing an ambush to slay him by the way.
4 Kasi Festisi azongiselaki bango: — Polo azali nanu kati na boloko, na Sezarea; mpe kala mingi te, nakozonga kuna.
But Festus made answer: Paul is in custody at Caesarea, whither I am in haste to go.
5 Tika ete tokende nzela moko na ndambo ya bakambi na bino, mpo ete, soki moto yango asalaki mabe, bafundela ye kuna.
Therefore, let those among you who are able, go down with us, and make presentment of every offence there is in the man.
6 Festisi asalaki mikolo pene mwambe to zomi elongo na bango, mpe azongaki na Sezarea. Mokolo oyo elandaki bozongi na ye, avandaki na esambiselo mpe apesaki mitindo ete bamemela ye Polo.
And when he had been there eight or ten days, he came down to Caesarea. And the next day, he sat on the tribunal, and commanded Paul to be brought.
7 Tango kaka Polo akomaki wana, Bayuda oyo bawutaki na Yelusalemi bazingelaki ye mpe bakomaki kofunda ye na tina na makambo mingi ya mabe makasi, oyo bango moko bazangaki kutu makoki mpo na kotalisa bosolo na yango.
And when he came, the Jews who had come from Jerusalem surrounded him, and preferred against him many and weighty charges, which they were unable to substantiate.
8 Polo asambaki boye: — Nasalaki mabe moko te, nabukaki ata mobeko moko te ya Bayuda to ya Tempelo to mpe ya Sezare.
Meanwhile Paul maintained, that he had committed no offence, either against the Jewish law, or against the temple, or against Caesar.
9 Kasi lokola Festisi alingaki kosepelisa Bayuda, atunaki Polo: — Boni, olingi kozonga na Yelusalemi mpe kosamba kuna liboso na ngai mpo na makambo oyo?
But Festus, because he was disposed to conciliate the favor of the Jews, said to Paul: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried before me for these things?
10 Polo azongisaki: — Te, natelemi liboso ya esambiselo ya Sezare; ezali awa nde nasengeli kosamba. Yo moko oyebi malamu ete nasali Bayuda ata likambo moko te ya mabe.
Paul replied, and said: I stand before Caesar's tribunal: here I ought to be tried. Against the Jews I have committed no offence, as thou also well knowest.
11 Soki nasali mabe to nasali likambo oyo ekoki komemela ngai etumbu ya kufa, nandimi kokufa. Kasi soki makambo oyo Bayuda bafundeli ngai ezali ya lokuta, moto moko te azali na makoki ya kokaba ngai na maboko na bango. Tika ete Sezare akata likambo na ngai!
If I had committed any crime, or done any thing worthy of death, I would not refuse to die. But if none of the things of which they accuse me, is upon me, no one may sacrifice me to their pleasure. I announce an appeal to Caesar.
12 Sima na Festisi kokabola makanisi elongo na bapesi toli na ye, alobaki na Polo: — Lokola osengi kokende kosamba liboso ya Sezare, okokende solo kosamba liboso na ye.
Then Festus conferred with his counsellors, and said: Hast thou declared an appeal to Caesar? Unto Caesar shalt thou go.
13 Sima na mwa mikolo, mokonzi Agripa elongo na Berenise bayaki na Sezarea mpo na kopesa Festisi mbote.
And when some days had passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 Lokola balekisaki kuna mikolo mingi, Festisi ayebisaki mokonzi likambo ya Polo; alobaki: — Ezali awa na moto moko oyo Felikisi atikaki kati na boloko.
And when they had been with him: some days, Festus related to the king the case of Paul, saying: A certain man was left a prisoner by Felix:
15 Tango nakendeki na Yelusalemi, bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi ya Bayuda bayaki kofunda ye epai na ngai, mpe basengaki ete nakatela ye etumbu.
And when I was at Jerusalem, the: chief priests and the Elders of the Jews informed me respecting him, and desired that I would pass judgment upon him in their favor.
16 Kasi nayebisaki bango ete bato ya Rome bazalaka na ezaleli te ya kokatela moto etumbu soki asambi nanu te na bato oyo bafundi ye, mpe soki azwi nanu nzela te ya kozongisa biyano na makambo oyo bafundeli ye.
And I told them, It is not the custom of the Romans, to give up a man gratuitously to be slain; until his accuser appeareth and chargeth him to his face, and opportunity is afforded him to make defence respecting what is charged upon him.
17 Tango bayaki awa, nalekisaki tango te; kasi mokolo oyo elandaki, navandaki na esambiselo mpe napesaki mitindo ete bamemela ngai moto yango.
And: when I had come hither, without delay, I the next day sat on the tribunal, and commanded the man to be brought before me.
18 Tango bato oyo bafundaki ye batelemaki mpo na koloba, balongaki te kotalisa bosolo ya makambo mabe oyo bafundelaki ye, ndenge ngai nazalaki kokanisela.
And his accusers stood up with him; and they were not able to substantiate any criminal charge against him, as I had expected;
19 Batianaki tembe na tina na lolenge na bango ya kosambela, mpe na tina na moto moko oyo asila kokufa, moto oyo Polo azalaki koloba na tina na ye ete azali na bomoi; kombo ya moto yango ezalaki « Yesu. »
but they had certain controversies with him respecting their worship, and respecting one Jesus, who died, but who, as Paul said, was alive.
20 Lokola nayebaki te ndenge nini nakoki kokata likambo ya lolenge oyo, natunaki ye soki alingi kokende na Yelusalemi mpo ete bakata likambo na ye kuna.
And because I was not well established in regard to these questions, I said to Paul: Dost thou ask to go to Jerusalem, and there be judged concerning these matters?
21 Kasi Polo asengaki ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene. Boye, napesaki mitindo ete babatela ye kati na boloko kino tango nakotinda ye epai ya Sezare.
But he requested to be reserved for a trial before Caesar: and I ordered him to be kept, till I could send him to Caesar.
22 Agripa alobaki na Festisi: — Nazali na posa ya koyoka moto wana, ngai moko. Festisi azongisaki: — Okoyoka ye lobi.
And Agrippa said: I should like to hear that man. And Festus said: To-morrow thou shalt hear him.
23 Mokolo oyo elandaki, Agripa mpe Berenise bayaki na lokumu nyonso, mpe bakotaki na ndako oyo basambiselaka bato, elongo na bakonzi ya basoda mpe bakambi ya engumba. Na mitindo ya Festisi, bayaki na Polo.
And the next day, came Agrippa and Bernice, with great pomp, and entered the house of trials, with the Chiliarchs and chiefs of the city: and Festus commanded, and Paul came.
24 Festisi alobaki: — Mokonzi Agripa mpe bino nyonso oyo bozali elongo na biso awa, bozali komona moto oyo! Lisanga mobimba ya Bayuda bayaki kokutana na ngai na tina na ye, na Yelusalemi mpe awa kati na Sezarea, bazalaki koganga ete asengeli kokufa.
And Festus said: King Agrippa, and all persons present with us; concerning this man whom ye see, all the people of the Jews applied to me, at Jerusalem and also here, crying out, that he ought no longer to live.
25 Nzokande, mpo na ngai, namonaki likambo moko te oyo ekokaki komemela ye etumbu ya kufa. Kasi lokola ye moko asengi ete akende kosamba liboso ya mokonzi monene, ngai mpe nazwi mokano ya kotinda ye na Rome.
Yet on investigation, I found that he hath done nothing deserving death. But, because he requested to be reserved for the hearing of Caesar, I have ordered him to be sent.
26 Lokola nazali na likambo moko te ya malonga ya kokomela mokonzi monene na tina na ye, nayei na ye mpo ete asamba liboso na bino nyonso, mpe mingi-mingi liboso na yo, mokonzi Agripa, mpo ete nakoka kozwa likambo ya kokomela mokonzi monene, sima na biso kotuna ye mituna.
And I know not what I can write to Caesar, in regard to him: and therefore I wished to bring him before you, and especially before thee, king Agrippa; that when his case shall have been heard, I may find what to write.
27 Pamba te namoni ete tina ezali te ya kotinda moto ya boloko na Rome, soki nalongi te kolimbola malamu likambo oyo bafundeli ye.
For it is unsuitable, when we send up a prisoner, not to designate his offence.
