Ebikolwa by’Abatume 24
1 Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku ttaano, Ananiya, Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’atuuka mu Kayisaliya ng’ali n’abamu ku bakulembeze b’Abayudaaya era ng’aleese n’omwogezi omulungi erinnya lye Terutuulo, eyannyonnyola gavana emisango egyali givunaanibwa Pawulo.
After. v. dayes Ananias the hye preste descended with elders and with a certayne Oratour named Tartullus and enformed the ruelar of Paul.
2 Pawulo bwe yaleetebwa, Terutuulo n’ayitibwa ategeeze ekivunaanibwa Pawulo, n’awoza bw’ati nti, “Oweekitiibwa, ffe Abayudaaya otuwadde eddembe, n’enkulaakulana olw’amagezi go.
When Paul was called forth Tartullus beganne to accuse him saying: Seynge yt we live in great quyetnes by the meanes of the and that many good thinges are done vnto this nacion thorow thy providence:
3 Tukwebaza nnyo olwa bino byonna by’otukoledde.
that alowe we ever and in all places most myghty Felix with all thankes.
4 Obutayagala kukukooya, nsaba ompulirize akaseera katono nga mpitaayita mu byangu ku nsonga ze tuvunaana omusajja ono.
Notwithstondinge that I be not tedeous vnto the I praye the that thou woldest heare vs of thy curtesy a feawe wordes.
5 “Omusajja ono tumulabye nga wa mutawaana nnyo, kubanga akuma omuliro mu Bayudaaya bonna mu nsi yonna, basasamale era bajeemere gavumenti y’Abaruumi, omukulembeze mu ttabi ly’eddiini erimanyiddwa ng’ery’Abannazaalaayo.
We have founde this ma a pestilent felowe and a mover of debate vnto all the Iewes thorowe out the worlde and a mayntayner of ye secte of the Nazarites
6 N’okugezaako yali agezaako okwonoona Yeekaalu, ne tumukwata. Twali tugenda okumusalira omusango n’ekibonerezo ng’amateeka gaffe bwe galagira,
and hath also enforsed to pollute the temple. Whom we toke and wolde have iudged acordinge to oure lawe:
7 naye Lusiya, omuduumizi w’abaserikale n’ajja n’atumuggyako n’amaanyi,
but the hye captayne Lisias came vpon vs and with great violence toke him awaye out of oure hodes
8 n’alagira nti awozesebwe mu mateeka g’Ekiruumi, era n’alagira abamuwawaabira bajje wano mu maaso go. Bw’onoogenda ng’omubuuza ebintu bino byonna, amazima g’ensonga zaffe gajja kweyoleka.”
comaundinge his accusars to come vnto the. Of who thou mayst (yf thou wilt enquyre) knowe the certayne of all these thinges where of we accuse him.
9 Olwo n’Abayudaaya abalala ne boogera nga bawagira ebyo Terutuulo bye yawoza nti bya mazima.
The Iewes lyke wyse affermed sayinge that it was even so.
10 Oluwalo lwa Pawulo ne lutuuka, gavana n’amuwenya asituke ayogere. Pawulo n’ayanukula nti, “Mmanyi, ssebo, nga bw’osaze emisango egifa ku nsonga zaffe ez’Ekiyudaaya okumala emyaka emingi, ekyo kimpa obugumu nga mpoleza mu maaso go.
Then Paul (after that the rular him selfe had beckened vnto him that he shuld speake) answered: I shall with a moare quyet minde answere for my selfe for as moche as I vnderstonde yt thou hast bene of many yeares a iudge vnto this people
11 Ggwe bw’onoobuuza, ojja kuzuula nti ennaku tezinnayita kkumi na bbiri kasookedde nyambuka mu Yerusaalemi okusinza mu Yeekaalu.
because that thou mayst knowe yt there are yet. xii. dayes sence I went vp to Ierusalem for to praye
12 Abo abampawaabira tebansisinkanangako nga nnina gwe nnyumya naye mu Yeekaalu, wadde nga nsasamaza ekibiina mu kuŋŋaaniro oba awalala wonna mu kibuga.
and that they nether founde me in the teple disputinge with eny man other raysinge vp the people nether in the Synagoges nor in the cite.
13 Era tebayinza kukulaga bukakafu bwonna ku bintu bino bye bampawaabira nti nabikola.
Nether can they prove ye thinges wher of they accuse me.
14 Naye waliwo ekintu kimu kye nzikiriza. Nsinza Katonda nga nzikiririza mu Kkubo, bano kye bayita enzikiriza endala. Nsinza Katonda n’okumuweereza nga ngoberera empisa za bajjajjaffe n’obulombolombo, nga bwe baabitegeka, era nzikiririza ddala mu mateeka g’Ekiyudaaya ne mu byonna ebyawandiikibwa mu bitabo bya bannabbi.
But this I confesse vnto ye that after that waye (which they call heresy) so worshippe I the God of my fathers belevinge all thinges which are writte in the lawe and ye Prophetes
15 Era nzikiriza, nga bano bwe bakkiriza, nti walibaawo okuzuukira kw’abatuukirivu n’ababi.
and have hope towardes God that ye same resurreccion from deeth (which they them selves loke for also) shalbe both of iust and vniust.
16 Olw’essuubi lino lye nnina, nfuba bulijjo okuba n’emmeeme ennongoofu eri Katonda n’eri abantu.
And therfore stody I to have a cleare consciece towarde God and toward man also.
17 “Oluvannyuma lw’emyaka mingi, nga siriiwo, nakomawo mu Yerusaalemi ng’Abayudaaya mbaleetedde n’ensimbi ez’okubayamba, nga nange neeretedde ekirabo eky’okuwaayo eri Katonda mu Yeekaalu.
But after many yeres I came and brought almes to my people and offeringes
18 Bano abampawaabira bansanga ndi mu kusinza kuno mu Yeekaalu, nga nneerongoosezza, mmaze n’okumwa omutwe ng’amateeka bwe galagira, nga tewaliiwo kibiina kinneetoolodde, era nga tewali kasasamalo.
in the which they founde me purified in the teple nether with multitude nor yet wt vnquyetnes How beit there were certayne Iewes out of Asia
19 Naye waliwo Abayudaaya abava mu kitundu kye Asiya era basaanye babeewo wano boogere obanga balina kye banvunaana.
which ought to be here present before the and accuse me yf they had ought agaynst me:
20 Oba si ekyo buuza bano abali wano kaakano, bakutegeeze omusango Olukiiko lw’Abayudaaya Olukulu gwe lwandabako, bwe nayimirira mu maaso gaalwo.
or els let these same here saye if they have founde eny evyll doinge in me whill I stonde here in ye counsell:
21 Mpozzi kino ekimu kye nayogera nti, ‘Ndi wano mu Lukiiko nga mpozesebwa olwokubanga nzikiriza okuzuukira kw’abafu!’”
except it be for this one voyce yt I cryed stondinge amoge the of the resurreccion fro deeth am I iudged of you this daye.
22 Awo Ferikisi, eyali amanyi obulungi ebikwata ku Kkubo, n’agamba Abayudaaya nti, “Lusiya, omuduumizi w’abaserikale mu Yerusaalemi, bw’alituuka ne ndyoka nsala omusango gwammwe.”
When Felix hearde these thinges he deferde them for he knewe very well of yt waye and sayde: when Lisias the captayne is come I will know the vtmost of youre matters.
23 N’alagira Pawulo azzibweyo mu kkomera akuumibwe, naye ng’alekerwamu ku ddembe, ne mikwano gye bakkirizibwe okujjanga okumulaba n’okumuleetera bye yeetaaga.
And he commaunded an vndercaptayne to kepe Paul and that he shuld have rest and that he shuld forbyd none of his aquayntauce to minister vnto him or to come vnto him.
24 Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku ntonotono, Ferikisi n’ajja ne mukyala we Dulusira, eyali Omuyudaaya. N’atumya Pawulo, ne bamuwuliriza ng’abategeeza ku kukkiriza Kristo Yesu.
And after a certayne dayes ca Felix and his wyfe Drusilla which was a Iewas and called forth Paul and hearde him of the fayth which is toward Christ.
25 Awo Pawulo bwe yagenda abannyonnyola ebikwata ku butuukirivu, n’okwefuga mu bikolwa, n’okusalirwa omusango okugenda okujja, Ferikisi n’atya nnyo, n’agamba Pawulo nti, “Ebyo binaagira bimala! Kaakano genda, bwe ndifuna ekiseera ekirungi ndyongera okukuyita.”
And as he preached of righteousnes temperauce and iudgement to come Felix trembled and answered: thou hast done ynough at this tyme departe when I have a conveniet tyme I will sende for the.
26 Era Ferikisi yali asuubira nti Pawulo ajja kumuwa enguzi, kyeyava amutumya emirundi mingi n’ayogera naye.
He hoped also that money shuld have bene geven him of Paul that he myght lowse him: wherfore he called him ye oftener and comened with him.
27 Ne wayitawo emyaka ebiri, Polukiyo Fesuto n’adda mu bigere bya Ferikisi. Naye Ferikisi olw’okwagala Abayudaaya bamusiime, bwe yali agenda n’aleka nga Pawulo musibe mu kkomera.
But after two yeare Festus Porcius came into Felix roume. And Felix willinge to shewe ye Iewes a pleasure lefte Paul in preson bounde.
