Imisebenzi 25
1 Ngakho kwathi uFestusi esengenile emkhonweni, emva kwensuku ezintathu wenyukela eJerusalema esuka eKesariya,
Titia, Festus etu jagate ahise, aru tin din pichete, tai Caesarea pora Jerusalem te jaise.
2 lompristi omkhulu lezikhulu zamaJuda bammangalela uPawuli kuye, bemncenga,
Titia mukhyo purohit khan aru Yehudi laga cholawta khan Festus logot Paul bhirodh te golti lagaise, aru anurodh korise.
3 bacela ukwenzelwa umusa omelane laye, ukuthi amthume eJerusalema, becathamela ukumbulala endleleni.
Aru Paul laga bhirodh te ekta upkar Festus ke mangise - ki Festus pora Paul ke Jerusalem te matibo nimite- eneka hoile taike loija-a homoi te kunba khan rasta te rukhai kene taike morai dibole bhabona thakise.
4 Kodwa uFestusi waphendula ngokuthi uPawuli ugciniwe eKesariya, lokuthi laye ngokwakhe uzakuya khona ngokuphangisa.
Kintu Festus koise Paul to Caesarea te bondhi ase, aru tai nijor bhi joldi ta te jabole ase.
5 Wathi: Ngakho labo abenelisayo phakathi kwenu kabehle kanye lami; uba kukhona ulutho olubi ngaleyondoda, bayimangalele.
Tai koise, “Etu karone tumikhan majote kun cholawta ase taikhan moi logote jabole dibi. Jodi etu manu kiba biya kaam korise koile, taikhan taike golti dibole kobi.”
6 Kwathi esehlale phakathi kwabo insuku ezedlula itshumi, wehlela eKesariya; kusisa wahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela walaya ukuthi uPawuli alethwe.
Aru tai dos din nisena taikhan logote thaki kene tai Caesarea te ahi jaise, aru dusra din bisar jagate bohi kene Paul ke loi anibole hukum dise.
7 Kwathi esefikile, amaJuda ayehlile evela eJerusalema ema emhanqile, embeka amacala amanengi lanzima uPawuli, ayengelakuwaqinisa,
Aru jitia Paul ahise, Jerusalem pora aha Yehudi khan ahi tai age piche khara hoi kene taike bisi biya golti lagaise jun to taikhan nijor bhi sakhi koribo napare.
8 yena eziphendulela wathi: Lemlayweni wamaJuda, lethempelini, lakuKesari kangonanga lutho.
Titia tai nijor kotha koise, “Moi Yehudi khan niyom laga bhirodh, nohoile girja ke bhirodh, nohoile Caesar laga bhirodh te eku bhi golti kora nohoi.”
9 Kodwa uFestusi ethanda ukuthabisa amaJuda, waphendula uPawuli wathi: Uyathanda yini ukwenyukela eJerusalema, wahlulelwe khona ngalezizinto phambi kwami?
Kintu Festus Yehudi khan ke khushi koribo itcha pora Paul ke koise, “Tumi Jerusalem te jai kene ami laga bisar jaga usorte etu kotha loi bisar korile tumi itcha hobo?”
10 Kodwa uPawuli wathi: Ngimi phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaKesari, lapho okufanele ngahlulelwe khona; kangonanga lutho kumaJuda, njengoba lawe usazi kuhle kakhulu.
Titia Paul koise, “Moi etiya bhi Caesar bisar jaga usorte khara ase, ami laga bisar yate hobo lage, apuni bhi jani ase, moi Yehudi khan logot eku golti kora nohoi.
11 Ngoba uba ngonile ngenze ulutho olufanele ukufa, kangali ukufa; kodwa uba kungekho lutho lwezinto abangimangalela ngazo, kakulamuntu onganginikela kubo ngesihle. Ngilidlulisela kuKesari.
Jodi moi golti ase, aru etu nimite moike morai dibole layak ase koile moi morile bhi apatti nai. Kintu ki kotha loi kene moike doshi di ase, jodi ekta bhi hosa nohoi koile, kunbi moike taikhan hathte dibo na paribo, moi Caesar logot anurodh koribo.”
12 Khona uFestusi esekhulume lomphakathi waphendula wathi: Ulidlulisele kuKesari? KuKesari uzakuya.
Titia Festus pora sabhakhan ke kotha kori kene koise, “Tumi Caesar logote kotha mila bole kori ase. Karone tumi Caesar logote jabo!”
13 Kwathi sekudlule insuku ezithile, uAgripha inkosi loBernike bafika eKesariya, ukuze babingelele uFestusi.
Aru olop din juwa pichete Raja Agrippa aru Bernica Caesarea te ahi Festus ke adar dise.
14 Kwathi sebehlezi khona insuku ezinengi, uFestusi wayilandisela inkosi izindaba zikaPawuli, esithi: Kukhona indoda ethile eyatshiywa nguFelike iyisibotshwa,
Aru duijon ta te bisi din thaka pichete, Festus Paul laga kotha raja ke koi dise. Tai koise, “Felix pora yate kunba ekjon ke bondh kora jagate rakhi ase.
15 kwathi ngiseJerusalema, abapristi abakhulu labadala bamaJuda bammangalela, becela isigwebo esimelene laye.
Aru jitia moi Jerusalem te jaise, Yehudi khan laga mukhyo purohit khan aru bura khan tai bhirodh te golti kotha moike koise, bisar kori taike saja dibole.
16 Engabaphendula ngathi: Kakusiwo umkhuba wamaRoma ukumnikela umuntu ekufeni, omangalelweyo labammangalelayo bengalethwanga ubuso ngobuso, njalo azuze ithuba lokuziphendulela ngecala.
Kintu moi taikhan ke koise, Rome laga niyom te to hoile, kunke golti lagai ase, taike bisar kora dinte taike golti lagai diya khan usor nijor sob kotha kobole homoi nadi kene taike saja diya niyom nai.
17 Ngakho sebebuthene lapha, kangizange ngiphuze; ngosuku olulandelayo ngahlala esihlalweni sokwahlulela, ngalaya ukuthi indoda ilethwe;
Karone jitia taikhan yate ahi kene joma hoise, moi deri nakori kene dusra din, bisar jagate bohi kene utu manu ke loi anibole hukum dise.
18 leyo abayimangalelayo sebemi kabavezanga cala ngayo ngezinto mina ebengizicabangela,
Jitia taike golti diya manu khan khara koi kene tai laga golti koise, taikhan eku biya golti dibo para nai, jineka moi bhabise tineka huwa nai.
19 kodwa babelokuphikisana okuthile laye ngenkolo yakibo, langothile uJesu owafayo, uPawuli othi ngaye uyaphila.
Kintu taikhan nijor dhorom kotha aru mori juwa Jisu koi kene ekjon asele, Paul koi utu jinda ase, etu kotha loi kotha namila he ase.
20 Kuthe mina ngisadidekile ngombuzo onje, ngathi, angathanda yini ukuya eJerusalema, ayekwahlulelwa khona ngalezozinto.
Aru etu laga motlob moi bhal pora bujhi bole para nai, karone moi taike hudise jodi tai etu kotha ke bisar kori bole Jerusalem te jabole mon kore na nai.
21 Kodwa kwathi uPawuli eselidlulisele phambili ukuthi agcinelwe ukuhlolwa yinkosi enkulu, ngalaya ukuthi agcinwe, ngize ngimthume kuKesari.
Kintu Paul koise tai Caesar logote anurodh koribo, etu karone moi taike Caesar logot pathai nadiya tak taike bondh kora jagate thaki bole hukum dise.”
22 UAgripha wasesithi kuFestusi: Lami bengithanda ukuthi ngimuzwe lumuntu. Yena wathi: Kusasa uzamuzwa.
Titia Agrippa pora Festus ke koise, “Moi nijor utu manu laga kotha hunibo itcha ase. Festus jawab dise, “Kali apuni tai kotha huni bole pabo.”
23 Ngakho kusisa, kwathi uAgripha loBernike befika ngokuzibonakalisa okukhulu, basebengena endlini yokwahlulela kanye lezinduna ezinkulu lamadoda ayizikhulu zomuzi, uFestusi waselaya ukuthi uPawuli alethwe.
Karone dusra din Agrippa aru Bernica duijon dhum-dham pora bhal kapra lagai kene aru sheher laga daruga khan aru dusra cholawta logote sabha te ahise. Aru jitia Festus hukum dise, titia Paul ke loi anise.
24 UFestusi wasesithi: Nkosi Agripha, lani lonke madoda elikhona lapha kanye lathi, liyambona lo elangicela ngaye lonke ixuku lamaJuda eJerusalema kanye lalapha, limemeza lisithi kasafanele ukuphila.
Festus koise, “Raja Agrippa aru jun yate ahi bohi ase, apnikhan bhi etu manu ke dikhi ase, etu manu nimite yate thaka Yehudi khan sob aru Jerusalem te thaka sob moi logote binti korise tai jinda thaki bole nalage koise.
25 Kodwa mina ngathola ukuthi kenzanga lutho olufanele ukufa, lokuthi yena ngokwakhe eselidlulisele enkosini enkulu, ngaquma ukumthuma.
Kintu tai moribo lage eneka eku kaam kora moi pa-a nai, aru tai nijor moi Caesar logot anurodh koribo koise, to moi taike pathai dibole faisla kori loise.
26 Okungaye kangilalutho oluqinileyo engingalubhalela inkosi. Ngakho ngimlethile phambi kwenu, ikakhulu phambi kwakho, nkosi Agripha, ukuze kuthi esehloliwe ngibe lakho engingakubhala.
Kintu tai laga kotha ami Caesar logot kineka likhibo thik napai-a karone, moi taike apnikhan aru khaas pora Raja Agrippa apuni usorte loi anise, pichete kiba likhi bole pabo bhabona kori kene.
27 Ngoba ngibona kungaqondanga ukuthuma isibotshwa, kungatshengiswanga lamacala amelene laso.
Kelemane ekjon manu ke ki nimite bondhi nisena pathai ase etu thik pora nalikhile, etu to moi hisab te thik nohobo.”
