Acts 24
1 After five days, Ananias the chief priest, certain elders, and an orator named Tertullus went there. These men brought charges against Paul before the governor.
Mazuva mashanu akati apfuura, Ananiasi muprista mukuru akaburuka kuKesaria navamwe vakuru nerimwe gweta rainzi Teturo, vakataura mhosva dzavo pamusoro paPauro pamberi pomubati.
2 When Paul stood before the governor, Tertullus began to accuse him and said to the governor, “Because of you we have great peace, and your foresight brings good reform to our nation;
Pauro akati adaidzwa kuti apinde, Teturo akasvitsa nyaya yake kuna Ferikisi achiti, “Isu takafadzwa nenguva refu yorugare pasi poutongi hwenyu, uye kunzwisisa kwenyu kwakashandura rudzi urwu.
3 so with all thankfulness we welcome everything that you do, most excellent Felix.
Changamire Ferikisi, izvi tinozvigamuchira nomufaro mukuru uye nemitoo yose kwose kwose.
4 So that I detain you no more, I ask you to briefly listen to me with kindness.
Asi kuti tisakunetsaizve, ndinokumbira hangu kuti mutinzwire ngoni mungotinzwa henyu kwenguva duku.
5 For we have found this man to be a pest and one who causes all the Jews throughout the world to rebel. He is a leader of the Nazarene sect.
“Takaona kuti murume uyu akaipa, anomutsa bope pakati pavaJudha munyika yose. Ndiye mutungamiri weboka ravaNazareta
6 He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we arrested him.
uye akaedza kunyange kushatisa temberi; ndokusaka takamubata.
Asi Risiasi mukuru wavarwi akauya akamutakanura mumaoko edu nechisimba.
8 When you question Paul about all these matters, you will be able to learn about these charges we are bringing against him.”
Mukamubvunzisisa imi pachenyu muchakwanisa kuziva chokwadi chemhosva dzatiri kumupomera.”
9 The Jews also joined in the accusation, affirming that these charges were true.
VaJudha vakabvumirana nezvaakanga achipomerwa, vachisimbisa kuti zvinhu izvi zvaiva zvechokwadi.
10 But when the governor motioned for Paul to speak, Paul answered, “I understand that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, and so I gladly explain myself to you.
Mubati akati amuninira kuti ataure, Pauro akapindura, akati, “Ndinoziva kuti manga muri mutongi worudzi urwu kwamakore mazhinji; saka ndinofara kuti ndizvidavirire.
11 You will be able to find out that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
Imi munogona kuziva nyore nyore kuti mazuva gumi namaviri haasati atombopera kubva pandakaenda kundonamata kuJerusarema.
12 When they found me in the temple, I did not argue with anyone, and I did not stir up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
Vapomeri vangu havana kundiwana ndichiita nharo naani zvake mutemberi, kana kumutsa bope musinagoge kana papi zvapo muguta.
13 They cannot prove to you the accusations they are now making against me.
Uye havagoni kukubudisirai chokwadi chemhosva yavanondikwirira.
14 But I admit this to you, that according to the Way that they call a sect, in that same way I serve the God of our fathers. I am faithful to all that is in the law and the writings of the prophets.
Zvisinei hazvo, ndinobvuma kuti ndinonamata Mwari wamadzibaba edu somuteveri weNzira, yavanoti yakatsauka. Ini ndinotenda zvinhu zvose zvinobvumirana nomutemo uye nezvakanyorwa muVaprofita,
15 I have the same confident hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
uye ndine tariro imwe cheteyo muna Mwari savarume ava, kuti kuchava nokumuka kwavakafa vose zvavo vakarurama navakaipa.
16 So I always strive to have a clear conscience before God and human beings.
Saka ndinoshingairira nguva dzose kuti hana yangu ive yakachena pamberi paMwari navanhu.
17 Now after many years I came to bring help to my nation and gifts of money.
“Shure kwamakore mazhinji ndisipo, ndakauya kuJerusarema kuti ndizopa vanhu vokwangu zvipo zvavarombo uye kuti ndizopa zvipiriso zvangu.
18 When I did this, certain Jews from Asia found me in a purification ceremony in the temple, not with a crowd or an uproar.
Ndakanga ndakazvinatsa pavakandiwana ndiri mutemberi ndichiita izvi. Pakanga pasina vanhu vazhinji vaiva neni, uye handina kumboita nyonganyonga.
19 These men ought to be before you now and say what they have against me, if they have anything.
Asi pane vaJudha vanobva kuEzhia, vaifanira kunge vari pano pamberi penyu, ndivo vaifanira kundipa mhosva kana vainge vane mhosva ipi zvayo neni.
20 Or else, these same men should say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the Jewish council,
Kana ivava vari pano vanofanira kutaura mhaka yavakawana mandiri pandakamira pamberi peDare Guru ravaJudha,
21 unless it is about this one thing that I shouted out when I stood among them, 'It is concerning the resurrection of those who have died that I am on trial before you today.'”
kunze kwechinhu chimwe chete ichi chandakadanidzira pandakanga ndimire pamberi pavo kuti, ‘Ndiri kutongwa maererano nokumuka kwavakafa; ndizvo zvaita kuti ndive pamberi penyu nhasi.’”
22 Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, ajourned the hearing. He said, “When Lysias the commander comes down from Jerusalem, I will decide your case.”
Ipapo Ferikisi uyo akanga achizivisisa nezveNzira iyo, akambomisa dare. Akati, “Kana Risiasi mukuru wavarwi auya, ndichatonga mhosva yenyu.”
23 Then he commanded the centurion that Paul should be kept under guard, but to have some freedom so that none of his friends would be prevented from attending to his needs.
Akarayira mukuru wezana kuti Pauro achengetwe navarindi asi ave akasununguka uye shamwari dzake dzibvumirwe kuti dzimuvigire zvaanoda.
24 After some days, Felix returned with Drusilla his wife, a Jewess, and he sent for Paul and he heard from him about faith in Christ Jesus.
Mushure mamazuva mazhinji, Ferikisi akauya nomukadzi wake Dhurusira, uyo akanga ari muJudha. Akadana Pauro kuti auye vagozomunzwa sezvo aitaura pamusoro pezvokutenda muna Kristu Jesu.
25 But when Paul reasoned with him about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for now. But when I have the opportunity later on, I will send for you.”
Pauro paakanga achidzidzisa pamusoro pokururama, kuzvidzora, nokutongwa kuchauya, Ferikisi akatya akati, “Zvakwana kwazvino! Ungaenda hako. Ndikange ndawana mukana, ndichazokudana.”
26 At the same time he wanted Paul to give money to him, so he often sent for him and spoke with him.
Panguva yacho iyoyo aifunga kuti Pauro achamupa fufuro, saka aidana Pauro nguva nenguva achitaura naye.
27 But when two years passed, Porcius Festus became the governor after Felix, but Felix wanted to gain favor with the Jews, so he left Paul to continue under guard.
Makore maviri akati apfuura, Poshiasi Fesitasi akatora nzvimbo yaFerikisi, asi nokuda kwokuti Ferikisi aida kufadza vaJudha, akasiya Pauro ari mutorongo.
