Acts 25
1 Three days after Festus had arrived in the province he left Caesarea to go to Jerusalem.
Niwo Festo ejile egila mwiJimbo elyo na Jejile jatulao nsiku esatu agandele okusoka Kaisaria kukinga Yerusalemu.
2 The chief priests and Jewish leaders came to him and brought their charges against Paul.
Omugabhisi mukulu wa Bhayaudi ali masika bhaletele amalila ga Paulo ku Festo, nabhaikile kwa managa KU Festo.
3 They begged Festus as a favor to send Paul to Jerusalem, plotting to ambush and kill him on the way.
Nibhamusabhwa Festo echigongo ingulu ye misango ja Paulo abhone okumubhilikila Yerusalemu koleleki bhabhone okumwita mu njila.
4 But Festus replied that Paul was in custody at Caesarea and that he himself would be there shortly.
Mbe nawe Festo nasubhya ati Paulo aliga mubhoywa mu Kaisaria, na ati omwenene atakusubhayo eyo bhwangu.
5 “Your leaders can come with me, and make their accusation against this man, if he has done anything wrong,” he told them.
Aikile “kulwejo, bhalya bhanu abhatula, okugenda eyo neswe. Alabha chilio chinu chibhibhi ku munu unu, kubheile okumusitaka.”
6 After staying there with them for no more than eight or ten days, Festus returned to Caesarea. The following day he took his seat as judge, and ordered that Paul be brought before him.
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 When he came in the Jews that had come from Jerusalem surrounded him and brought many serious charges against him that they couldn't prove.
Ejile akinga, abhayaudi okusoka Yerusalemu nibhemelegulu ayei, nibhasosha amasitaka mafu masito ganu bhatatulile kugakomelesha.
8 Paul defended himself, telling them, “I have not sinned at all against the Jewish law, the Temple, or Caesar.”
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, who was looking to gain favor with the Jews, asked Paul, “Are you willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried before me there about these matters?”
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 “I'm standing before Caesar's court to be tried, right where I should be,” Paul replied. “I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.
Paulo aikile, 'Enimelegulu imbhele ye chitebhe cha indamu echa Kaisaria nolwo kutyo jinyiile okulamulwa. Nichali kubhanyamulila abhayaudi, lwa kutyo awe Umenyele kisi.
11 If I've committed a crime and have done something that deserves death, I do not ask to be pardoned from a death sentence. But if there's no substance to these accusations they're making against me, then nobody has the right to hand me over 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 Festus then conferred with the council, and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!”
'Festo ejile amala okwaika na bhe china nasubhya, “Oumusabhwa Kaisaria; oujo kuja ku Kaisaria.”
13 Several days later, King Agrippa and his sister Bernice arrived in Caesarea and came to pay their respects to Festus.
Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo, Omukama Agripa na Bernike bhakingile Kaisaria okukola olugendo lunu lukomelesibhwe ku Festo.
14 They were staying some time so Festus presented Paul's case to the king, explaining, “There's a man that Felix left as a prisoner here.
Ejile enyanja ao kwa naku nyafu, Festo asilile ikesi ya Paulo ku mukama; Naika, 'omunu umwi asigilwe Anu na Feliki kuti mubhoywa.
15 When I was in Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priests and leaders came and made accusations against him and asked me to sentence 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 I replied that it is not according to Roman law to convict anyone without having them face their accusers and giving them the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.
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 So when his accusers arrived here, I wasted no time and convened the court the very next day. I ordered the man to be brought in.
Kulwejo, bhejile bhejila amwi anu nitatulile kulindilila nawe Olunaku lunu lwalubhie nenyanjile ku chitebhe cha indamu no kulagilila omunu oyo aletwe munda.
18 However, when the accusers got up they didn't bring charges of criminal acts as I expected.
Mu mwanya abhasitaki nibhemelegulu no kumusitaka, neganilisishe ati gatalio masitaka manene ganu galetelwe ku mwene.
19 Instead they brought up controversies over religious questions, and over a man called Jesus who was dead but whom Paul insisted was 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 Since I was undecided as to how to proceed in investigating such matters, I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there.
Naliga nifundikiwe ingulu yo kugumenya omusango gunu, nimubhusha alabha akagendele Yerusalemu okulamulwa okulubhana ne misango jinu.
21 However, Paul appealed for his case to be heard by the emperor, so I ordered him detained until I could 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 “I would like to hear the man myself,” Agrippa told Festus. “I'll arrange for you to hear him tomorrow,” Festus replied.
'Agripa aikile na Festo,”Naliga nendele one nimutegeleshe omunu unu.” “Festo, naika, “Mutondo oumutegelesha.”
23 The next day Agrippa arrived with Bernice in great ceremonial splendor and entered the auditorium with the commanders and leading citizens. Then Festus ordered Paul to be brought in.
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 “King Agrippa, and everyone who is present here with us,” Festus began, “you see before you this man whom all the Jewish people, both here and in Jerusalem, have complained to me about, shouting that he shouldn't be allowed to live.
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 However, I discovered he has not committed any crime that deserves death, and since he has appealed to the emperor I decided to send him there.
Nindola ati atakolele lyona lyona linu lyaliga liile olufu; Mbe nawe kulwa insonga amubhilikie Omukama, nalamue okumusila ewae.
26 But I don't have anything specific to write about him to His Imperial Majesty. That's why I have brought him before you so I can have something definite 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 It doesn't seem fair to me to send on a prisoner without explaining the charges made against him.”
Kulwo kubha enilola itana nsonga yo kumusila omubhoywa obhutelesha amashitaka ganu gamwiile.
