Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Vuu ufesto ainghile mukhilungha khila watmile ifigono fidatu pwakhaluta khu kaisali akhafika khu yelusalemu.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Untwa umbaha uva va yahudi undwanchiwa vakhang'elikhila inongwa iya pavuli khwa festo, pwu vakhanchova vakholehencha nchoninamakha khwa festo.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
Vakhandoova ufesto nikhisa khu mamenyu agha pavuli ukhuta amwielange khu yelusalemu ukhuva vinogwa ukhumbuuda upavuli munjiela.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
U Festo akhavavula akhata upavuli akhungiwe mukaisari, nukhuta navope ayivuya khukhukwa imbieve.
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Anchovile “ulwakhuva, vala aviwesya, ukhuluta ukwa nufwe. inave khukhile ikhinu ikhivivi khumunu uyuu, mlondiwa ukhung'iega.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Vuvatamile ifighono nane nukhulutila, akavuya ukaisari. ikhighono ikyankongile akhatama pakhighoda ikyavuhieghi nukhulamula ukhuta vandete upavuli khumwene.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Avile afikhe avayahudi ukhuhuma khu yelusalemu vakhima pawipi, pwu vakhanchova imbombo inongw inchieluteilile inchakhumbikha mbuhiegi vvuvivi nchimanyile.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Upavuli akhabela akhanchova, sanchakhulitawa ilya vayahudi, sanchakesari, nivombile imbivi.'
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Ulwakhuva ufesto anogwagwa ukhuta avoneeke inonu kuvayahudi, pwu akhamwanda upavuli akhata, nawigwa ukhuluta kuyelusalemu khuhiegiwa nune khumbombo inchi?
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Upavuli akhanda akhanchova, “nikwiema pavulongolo pakhigoda ikyavuhieghi ikya kaisari upwupilondiwa une ukhuhighiwa. sanievakhosehinche avayahudi nduvulumanyile.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Inave nielininongwa pwu ienghave nivombile nilondiwa ukhuhigiwa ukhufwa, sanibela ukhufwa. ulwakhuva uvuhieghi wa veine khulyune vusikhuli, asikhuli umunu uviwesya unkhunglielikakhuvene. nikhundova ukaisali.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Ufesto wa nchovile navahiegi akhamula, “vukhundova ukaisali, uyuwiluta khwa kaisari.”
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
Vufilutile ifigoono, untwa uaglipa nu belnike vakhincha kukaisalia, ukhugeendela ufesto.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Vuvatamile apo ifigono fingi, ufesto akhahilikha inongwa ya pavuli khu ntwa, akhata, “umunu yuoma vakhandekhile apha pha feliki ndumunu uvakhungiwe.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Upwunikale khuyelusalemu avantwa avavaha na avaghogholo avakivu vayahudi vakhaleta inongwa incha munu ouyu khulyune, navene pwuvaliekhuvuncha ukhuhigiwa khumuuyu umuvahigiele.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Une nikhavamula nikhata salulaghilelo ulya valoma ukhung'umya umunu vusapanogilele ukhung'umya.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
Pwu vavile vinchile apa pupaninie, saniekhawesye ukhupulikiela, apange ikhigono ikhikhankongile nikhatama pakhigoda ikyavuhiegi nukhulamula ukhuta umunu uywa vagheighe mughati.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Unsiekhi avansitakhagha vuviemile nukhunchova, nikhasaga nikhata nchisikhuli inongwa imbaha inchakungliegha nchincho valetiele inchakhung'ega umunu uyu.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Puvakava, nukhubenchana numwene khulwiedikho ulwavene ulwa yesu uviafwile, hange upavuli akhavavula ukhuta mwumi.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Niekhale ninisisilile ukhunchinghahiencha ienongwa ieyi, nikhambuncha iengave ayiluta khu yelusalemu khuhiegiwa khunongwa inchi.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
Upavuli vuielangiwa ukhuva vambikhe pavuloleili vuvipulikhila uvulamunchi wa ntwa.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Uaglipa akhanchova nu Festo “nikhanogilwa ukhumpulihiencha umunu uyu” ufesto akanchova, akhata “khilavo uyuvukhumulihincha”.
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
pwu intondo, uaglipa nu belnike vakhincha nuluhekhelo lwingi; vakhafika khuliboma ilyavavaha avasikali avaligoha, na vanu avanyamakha pakhiluga. nu ufesto wahuminche ululagielo, ulwakhundeta upavuli khuvene.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Ufesto akhanchova, “untwa uaglipa, na vanu voni vavo pwuvale apa pwupaninie nufwe, mukhumbona umunu uyu; ululundamano lwoni ulwa vayahudi ulya khu yelusalemu napa vanogile ukhuta nivatange, na vene pwu vakhatoncha ilimenyu ukhuta umunu uyu vakhufwa.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
nikhavona sakhavombe khinu ikyakhunanga ukhuta nifwe; ulwakhuva amwilangi untwa, nikhalamwile ukhumbika khumwene.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
Nilivuvule khitu ikyakwandika khuntwa. ulwakhuva une niendetile khulyuve uve, vintwa viegbipa, ukhuva nive nikhinu ikyakhusimba khunongwa ieyi.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Ulwakhuva nilola nivona sakhulikhinu ikyakhuhilika unkungwa walivuvule inchakhung'iega ukhuhiegiwa.
