Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Ndipo Festo ajhingili mu lijimbo elu ni baada jha magono madatu akalota kuhoma Kaisaria hadi Yerusalemu.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Kuhani mbaha ni bhayahudi mashuhuri bhaletili shutuma dhidi jha Paulo kwa Festo, na bhalongili kwa nghofu kwa Festo.
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
Na bhan'sokili Festo fadhili juu jha habari sya Paulo abhwesiajhi kunkuta Yerusalemu ili bhabhwesiajhi kun'koma munjela.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Lakini Festo ajibili kujha Paulo ajhele mfungwa mu Kaisaria, ni kwamba muene ikerebhuka okhu manyata.
5 Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
Ajobhili “Kwa hiyo, bhala ambabho bhibhwesya kulota okhu ni tete. Kama kujhe ni khenu kibaya kwa munu ojho, mwilondeka kun'shtaki.”
6 Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Baada jha kutama magono nane au kumi zaidi, akakerebhuka Kaisaria. Na ligono lyalafuatili atamili pa kiti kya hukumu ni kuamuru Paulo aletibhwayi kwa muene.
7 And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe,
Bho afikili, Bhayahudi kuhoma Yerusalemu bhajhemi karibu, bhakapisya mashtaka mazito ambajho bhabhwesilepi kughathibitisha.
8 Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
Paulo akitetili ni kujobha, sio dhidi jha lihina lya bhayahudi, sio panani pa hekalu, na sio panani pa Kaisaria, nibhombi mabaya.'
9 Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee?
Lakini Festo alondeghe kwipendekesya kwa bhayahudi, efyo akan'jibu Paulo ni kujobha, 'Je, wilonda kulota Yerusalemu ni kuhukumulibhwa ni nene kuhusu mambo agha okhu?'
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Paulo ajobhili, 'nijhemili mbele jha kiti kya hukumu kya Kaisari ambapo nilondeka kuhukumulibhwa. Nibhakosilepi bhayahudi, kama kya umanyi bhebhe.
11 For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar.
Nikajhiajhi nikosili na kama nibhombi kyakilondeka kifo, nibelepi kufwa. Lakini kama shutuma sya bhene khenu lepi, ajhelepi munu jhaibhwesya kunikabidhi kwa bhene. Nikansoka Kaisari. '
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Baada jha Festo kulongela ni baraza akajibu, “Ukan'soka Kaisari; wibetalota kwa Kaisari.”
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Baada jha magono kadhaa, mfalme Agripa ni Bernike bhafikili Kaisaria kubhomba ziara rasmi kwa Festo.
14 And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
Baada jha kutamaapu kwa magono mingi, Festo awasilishi kesi jha Paulo kwa mfalme; Akajobha, 'Munu mmonga alekibhu apa ni Feliki kama mfungwa.
15 Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
Bho nijhe Yerusalemu makuhani bhabhaha ni bhaseya bha bhayahudi bhaletili mashtaka juu jha munu ojho kwa nene na bhene bhakotili juu jha hukumu dhidi jha muene.
16 To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
Kwa e'le nene nabhajibili kujha desturi jha Bharoma lepi kumpisya munu upendeleo badala jhiake, mtuhumibhwa ilondeka kujha ni nafasi jha kubhakabili bhashtaki bha muene ni kwitetela dhidi jha tuhuma e'su.
17 Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
Kwa hiyo, bhobhahidili pamonga apa, nabhwesilepi kulendela, lakini ligono lya lyafwatili natamili pakiti kya hukumu ni kuamuru munu ojho aletibhwayi mugati.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Wakati bhashtaki bhajhemili ni kun'shtaki, nifikirileghe kujha ghajhelepi mashtaka mabaha ghaghaletibhu dhidi jha muene.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Badala jhiake, bhajhele ni mabishano fulani pamonga ni muene kuhusu dini jha bhene ni kuhusu Yesu ambajhe afuili, lakini Paulo idai kuwa ajhe muomi.
20 And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
Nafumbibhu jinsi jha kuchungusya lisuala e'le, na nan'kotili kama ngaalotili Yerusalemu kuhukumibhwa kuhusu mambo agha.
21 But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
Lakini Paulo bho akutibhu abhekibhwayi chini jha ulinzi kwandabha jha uamuzi bhwa Mfalme, naamuiri abhekibhwayi hata panibeta kumpeleka kwa Kaisari.'
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Agripa alongilili ni Festo, “Nilondeghe kabhele kumpelekesya munu ojho.” “Festo, akajobha, “kilabhu wibeta kumpelekesya.”
23 And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth.
Hivyo kilabhu jhiake, Agripa ni Bernike bhafikili ni sherehe simehele; bhafikili pa ukumbi ni maafisa bha kijeshi, ni bhanu mashuhuri bha mji. Ni Festo bho apisili amri, Paulo aletibhu kwa bhene.
24 And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
Festo akajobha, “Mfalme Agripa, ni bhanu bhoha ambabho bhabhajhele apa pamonga natu, mukambona munu ojho; Jumuiya jhioha jha bhayahudi okhu Yerusalemu ni apa kabhele bhilonda nibhashauriajhi, ni bhene bhakapiga kelele kwa nene kwamba asitami.
25 Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.
Nibhona kujha abhombilepi lyalilondeka kufwa; Lakini kwandabha an'kutili Mfalme, naamuili nimpelekayi kwa muene.
26 Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write.
Lakini nijhelepi ni khenu dhahiri kya kulemba kwa Mfalme. Kwandabha ejhe, nindetili kwa bhebhe, hasa kwa bhebhe, Mfalme Agripa, ili nibhwesiajhi kujha ni khenu kya kulemba kuhusu kesi.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Kwa kujha nibhona ijhelepi ni maana kumpeleka mfungwa ni bila kulasya mashtaka ghaghakan'kabili.
