< Acts 25 >

1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Niwo Festo ejile egila mwiJimbo elyo na Jejile jatulao nsiku esatu agandele okusoka Kaisaria kukinga Yerusalemu.
2 And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
Omugabhisi mukulu wa Bhayaudi ali masika bhaletele amalila ga Paulo ku Festo, nabhaikile kwa managa KU Festo.
3 Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
Nibhamusabhwa Festo echigongo ingulu ye misango ja Paulo abhone okumubhilikila Yerusalemu koleleki bhabhone okumwita mu njila.
4 But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
Mbe nawe Festo nasubhya ati Paulo aliga mubhoywa mu Kaisaria, na ati omwenene atakusubhayo eyo bhwangu.
5 Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
Aikile “kulwejo, bhalya bhanu abhatula, okugenda eyo neswe. Alabha chilio chinu chibhibhi ku munu unu, kubheile okumusitaka.”
6 And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
Ejile enyanja naku munana amwi okwambhuka ekumi, nasubha Kaisaria. No lunaku lunu lwalubhie Nenyanja KU chitebhe cha indamu no kulagilila Paulo aletwe KU mwene.
7 Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
Ejile akinga, abhayaudi okusoka Yerusalemu nibhemelegulu ayei, nibhasosha amasitaka mafu masito ganu bhatatulile kugakomelesha.
8 Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
Paulo nelilila no kwaika, 'Atali ni kwa ingulu ya lisina lwa abhayaudi, nolwo atali ingulu ya iyekalu, na atali ingulu ya Kaisaria, nikolele kubhibhi.'
9 But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Nawe Festo aliga nenda okwikondya ku Bhayaudi, na kwibhyo namusubhya Paulo kwo kwaika, 'Angu, owenda okuja Yerusalemu no kulamulwa nanye okulubhana na masango ganu eyo?'
10 Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
Paulo aikile, 'Enimelegulu imbhele ye chitebhe cha indamu echa Kaisaria nolwo kutyo jinyiile okulamulwa. Nichali kubhanyamulila abhayaudi, lwa kutyo awe Umenyele kisi.
11 For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
Nikabha ninyamue Alabha nikolele jinu jiile olufu, nitakulema kufwa. Mbe nawe Alabha obhubheelesha bhebhwe chitali chinu, atalio munu unu katula okuntula kubhene. Enimulola Kaisaria.
12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
'Festo ejile amala okwaika na bhe china nasubhya, “Oumusabhwa Kaisaria; oujo kuja ku Kaisaria.”
13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo, Omukama Agripa na Bernike bhakingile Kaisaria okukola olugendo lunu lukomelesibhwe ku Festo.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
Ejile enyanja ao kwa naku nyafu, Festo asilile ikesi ya Paulo ku mukama; Naika, 'omunu umwi asigilwe Anu na Feliki kuti mubhoywa.
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
Anu naliga nili Yerusalemu abhagabhisi Abhakulu na abhakaluka bhe chiyaudi bhaletele amasitaka ingulu yo munu unu kwanye, abhene nibhabhusha ingulu ya indamu yo kulubhana nage.
16 To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
Ku linu anye nasubhishe ati jitali ntungwa ja bharumi okumusosha omunu kwa isolole yo mwene-la, omunu we chikayo eile okubha no mwanya gwo kubhabhona bhanu bhamusitakile no kwililila ingulu ye bhusitaki obho.
17 When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
Kulwejo, bhejile bhejila amwi anu nitatulile kulindilila nawe Olunaku lunu lwalubhie nenyanjile ku chitebhe cha indamu no kulagilila omunu oyo aletwe munda.
18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
Mu mwanya abhasitaki nibhemelegulu no kumusitaka, neganilisishe ati gatalio masitaka manene ganu galetelwe ku mwene.
19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Okumala, bhaliga bhali na jimamba ndebhe amwi nage okulubhana na idini yebhwe no kulubhana na Yesu unu aliga afuye, nawe Paulo kelesha ati Ni muanga.
20 I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
Naliga nifundikiwe ingulu yo kugumenya omusango gunu, nimubhusha alabha akagendele Yerusalemu okulamulwa okulubhana ne misango jinu.
21 But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
Mbe nawe Paulo ejile abhilikilwa natebhwa mu bhulindi ingulu yo obhulamusi bho mukama, nalagilie atulwe kukinga Anu nakamusile ku Kaisari.
22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
'Agripa aikile na Festo,”Naliga nendele one nimutegeleshe omunu unu.” “Festo, naika, “Mutondo oumutegelesha.”
23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
Kwibhyo bhilwe bhuchee, Agripa na Barnike bhakinga no lumula lwafu, bhejile bhakinga mwigalagalilo na bhechibhalo bhe chisilikale, na bhanu masika bho musi. Festo ejile alagilila Paulo naletwa KU bhene.
24 And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
Festo naika, “mukama Agripa, na bhanu bhona bhanu bhali amwi neswe anu, omumulola omunu unu; Imbaga yona eya bhayaudi eyo Yerusalemu na Anu one abhenda nibhasakile, na bhene nibhansekanila ati asige ukulama.
25 Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
Nindola ati atakolele lyona lyona linu lyaliga liile olufu; Mbe nawe kulwa insonga amubhilikie Omukama, nalamue okumusila ewae.
26 Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
Mbe nawe nitana chinu abhwelu echo kwandika ku mukama. Kulwa insonga inu, namuleta kwawe awe, Omukama Agripa, koleleki nibhone echinu cho kwandika okulubhana na ikesi.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
Kulwo kubha enilola itana nsonga yo kumusila omubhoywa obhutelesha amashitaka ganu gamwiile.
