Imbombo zya Atume 25
1 U Festo winjila hwi jimbo elyo isiku elya tatu abhalile afume hu Kaisaria paka hu Yerusalemu.
When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
2 Ugosi weshibhanza na Yahudi bhaletile amalulumwo hwa Festo, na bhanjile hwikhone hwa Festo.
Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
3 Bhalabhile uFesto huje uPaulo abhale hu Yerusalemu aje nkaabhabude mwidala.
and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
4 Lelo uFesto ajile uPaulo afungwilwe hu Kaisaria, lelo umwene ahayinza uhwo nanali.
Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
5 Ajile “Bhaala bhabhajiye, tibhajenye abhale nabho. Nkashele zihweli embibhi zyazyonti hwe muntu unu mubhajiye hutake.”
Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
6 Nawakala ensiku nane nezyamwabho wagaluha hu Kaisari. Shandabho yakwe wakhala pitengo elyalonjele wakwizya uPaulo huje ayinze.
When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgemet seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
7 Nawafiha, Ayahudi bhabhafumile hu Yerusalemu bhaleta amashitaka amwamu gasigabhabhajiye ahakikisye.
When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
8 U Paulo wahwitetela waga, 'Siga imbombile embibhi hwa Yahudi, hushibhanza hwa Kaisari, siga entulile nahamo.'
as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
9 Lelo uFesto ahanzaga ahwipendekezye hwa Yahudi wabhuuzya uPaulo huje uhwanzaje tibhale alonjele hu Yerusalemu enongwa ezi?'
Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
10 U Paulo waga ane enemeleye epa pitengo elyalongwe elya Kaisari pehwanziwa alongwe. Sembahoseye Ayahudi, neshi shulolile.
Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
11 Ane nkashele nihweli zyenkosiye ezyalongwe huje enfwe, sigakhana afwe. Lelo nkanazimo numo umuntu yabhajiye antwale uhwo ehulabha u Kaisari. '
If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
12 U Festo nawayanga ni baraza waga uhulabha uKaisari; ubhabhale hwa Kaisari.”
Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
13 Nazyashila ensiku zinyinji umfumu u Agripa nu Bernike bhahafihile hu Kaisaria hujendele uFesto.
After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 Nabhakhala ensiku zyenyinji uFesto aletile engongwa zya Paulo hwa mfumu; Waga, 'Umuntu umo alehwilwe epa umuntu unufungwe.
And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto ye kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
15 Nihali hu Yerusalemu agosi bheshibhanza nazee bha Yahudi bhaletile enongwa huline na bhabhuuzizya eshalonje enongwa eyo.
about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
16 Ane nabhabhulile huje siga deestuli yetu hulonje umuntu nu upendelelo, umuntu yalongwa abhane nafasi eyahwitetele hwa bhantu bhabhahulonga.
To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge ye cryme layde agaynst him:
17 Nabhahinzile palishimo ana siganagulile, shandabho lwakwe, nahakhiye pitengo elyalonjele nahaga umuntu uyo ayinze muhati.
whe they were come hidder wt out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and comaunded ye ma to be brought forthe.
18 Bhala bhabhashitakile nabhaletaga amashitaka gabho, nahagaga jibha nagamo amashitaka amagosi gagaletilwe.
Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
19 Nahalola bhadalisanya nawo, amambo ge dini yabho na mambo ega Yesu ula yafwiye uPaulo yaiga alishamwomi.
but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
20 Ane napotilwe eshalilonje iswala eli nabhuuzya huje abhajiye abhale hu Yerusalemu huje bhalonjele uhwo enongwa zyabho ezi.
And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
21 Lelo uPaulo nahaletwa abhihwe pansi ye ulinzi aje ayamule umfumu naga abhihwe paka panaihutwala hwa Kaisari. '
Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
22 U Agripa ayanjile nu Festo, “huje ingasungwilwe nane huje itejelezye umuntu unu.” U Festo, waga, “uhaihutejelezya shandabho.”
Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
23 Shandao lwakwe, uAgripa nu Bernike bhafishile ne shikulukulu sheshinji bhahinzile ne muukumbi nebhiheya na abhogopwe abhe muji. U Festo waga aletwe uPaulo hwibho.
And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
24 U Festo waga, “wee Mfumu na bhantu bhonti bhabhali epa, muhulola umuntu unu ejumuiya yonti eya Yahudi uhwo hu Yerusalemu nepa, bhahwaje embalinganye abheene bhabwaga bhaga afwe sigatihwanza aje akhale.
And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present wt vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
25 Ane siga nalilolile elyahuje afwe eshi pepo akwizizye Umfumu ane etwalile hwa mwenee.
Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had comitted. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
26 Lelo siga endinizyasimbe hwa Mfumu. Ane shi iletile huliwe awe Mfumu Agripa, aje embenazyasimbe munongwa ene.
Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
27 endolile nemo emaana hulete ufungwe nkanongwa ezya hulonjele nazyo.
For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
