Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
Moŵa gatatu pakumala che Festo kwinjila ku Kaisalia kugatanda masengo gakwe, ŵakwesile kwaula ku Yelusalemu.
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and sought him,
Kweleko achakulu ŵambopesi pamo ni ilongola ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵansalile che Festo magambo ga che Paolo.
3 And desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
Ŵachondelele che Festo kuti ŵasalalisye ntima kwa kwaikanawo che Paolo ku Yelusalemu kuti ŵajuŵilile petala ni kwaulaga.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
Nambo che Festo ŵaajanjile, “Che Paolo ali mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ku Kaisalia ni nansyene chinyaule kukoko pangakaŵa.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
Mwaleche ilongola ŵenu ajaulangane pamo ni une kweleko akaaŵechetele naga atesile yangalumbana.”
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
Che Festo ŵatemi nawo kwa moŵa nane pane likumi, nipele ŵaujile ku Kaisalia. Malaŵi jakwe ŵajawile ni kutama pa chitengu cha ulamusi, ŵalamwile kuti ŵaichenawo che Paolo.
7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
Paŵaiche che Paolo, Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakopochele ku Yelusalemu ŵansyungwile ni kutanda kwaŵechetela yejinji yakutopa ni nganakombolanga kuisalichisya.
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
Nkulichenjela, che Paolo ŵatite, “Uneji nganimbanganya magambo gagaligose gankati malajisyo ga Ŵayahudi pane nkati Nyuumba ja Akunnungu natamuno kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Nambo che Festo ŵasachile kulinonyelesya kwa Ŵayahudi ni ŵambusisye che Paolo, “Ana nkusaka kwaula ku Yelusalemu nkalamulikwe kweleko yankati magambo ga paujo pangu?”
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as you very well know.
Nambo che Paolo ŵatite, “Ngwima paujo pa nkungulu wa Mwenye jwa ku Loma, pelepa ni panguŵajilwa kulamulikwa. Alakwe mwasyene nkumanyilila uchenene, uneji nganinaapanganichisya Ŵayahudi changalumbana chachili chose.
11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.
Nipele iŵaga ngwete magambo pane ndesile yangalumbana yakuŵajilwa kuulajikwa, ngangukana kuwa. Nambo iŵaga ngapagwa usyene wa magambo gakumechetela une ŵandu ŵa, ngapagwa mundu juchakombole kuundaga mmakono mwa ŵanyawo. Ngusaka mumbeleche kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Have you appealed to Caesar? to Caesar shall you go.
Nipele che Festo paŵamasile kuŵecheta ni ŵandu ŵa nkungulu ŵansalile che Paolo, “Nkusaka kunjausya kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma, ayaga, chinjaule kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Gali gapite moŵa gampepe, mwenye che Agilipa ni che Belinike nlumbugwe, ŵaiche ku Kaisalia kukwakomasya che Festo.
14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
Ni ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gampepe ni che Festo nombe ŵansalile mwenye ngani ja magambo ga che Paolo achitiji, “Kwana mundu jumo pelepa juŵannesile che Felikisi ali mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
Panajawile ku Yelusalemu achakulu ŵambopesi pamo ni achachekulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵambechetele mundu jo ni kuunjondelela kuti naalamule ni kwajamuka.
16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
Nambo uneji naasalile kuti Ŵaloma nganakola masyoŵelo go ga kuntyosya mundu alamulikwe akanaŵe kuchingangana ni ŵandu ŵakumbechetela meeso ni meeso, ni kwapa lipesa lya kulichenjela kwa iŵambechetele yo.
17 Therefore, when they were come here, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
Nipele, paŵasongangene apano, nganingaŵa, malaŵi jakwe natemi pachitengu changu cha ulamusi ni kulajisya annyichenawo mundu jo.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
Ŵakumbechetela ŵakwe paŵajimi, nganakoposya magambo ga yangalumbana mpela inaganisyaga.
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Nambo ŵakanilanaga ine pe yankati dini jao ni yankati mundu jumo jwakuŵilanjikwa Che Yesu jwaŵawile nambo che Paolo akulimbila kuti ali ŵajumi.
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
Nganinaimanyilila chakutenda nkati magambo ga. Nipele, nambusisye che Paolo iŵaga chasache kwaula ku Yelusalemu kukulamulikwa kweleko magambo ga.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
Nambo che Paolo ŵasachile kulamulikwa ni Mwenye jwa ku Loma, nalamwile kuti angose mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa mpaka pachinaapeleche kwa Mwenye jwa ku Loma.”
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, you shall hear him.
Che Agilipa ŵane juŵaliji mwenye jwa liuto liine ŵansalile che Festo, “None ngusaka kumpilikanila nansyene mundu jo.” Che Festo ŵatite, “Chimumpikanile malaŵi.”
23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
Malaŵi jakwe che Agilipa ni che Belinike ŵaiche ali nkusangalala pa nkungulu ali alongene ni achakulu ŵa ŵangondo ni achakulu ŵa musi. Che Festo ŵalamwile kuti ŵaichenawo che Paolo.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Che Festo ŵatite, “Mwenye che Agilipa ni ŵanawose ŵantemi apano pamo ni uweji! Ŵayahudi wose ŵa pelepa ni ŵa ku Yelusalemu akummechetela mundu ju kukwangu ni akusaka aulajikwe.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
Nambo uneji nganinagawona magambo gagaligose gakwaŵajila kuulajikwa. Ni pakuŵa che Paolo nsyene ŵasachile alamulikwe ni Mwenye jwa ku Loma, noneji najitichisye kunjausya ku Loma.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Why I have brought him forth before you, and specially before you, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
Kwa uneji nganingola usyene wankati ŵelewo wakunlembela Mwenye jwa ku Loma. Kwa ligongo lyo nannyichenawo paujo penu nnopennope kukwenu achimwene mwenye che Agilipa, mwamalaga kumbusyausya mbate chakulemba.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not with to signify the crimes laid against him.
Pakuŵa nguwona chiiŵe yakusekasya kwajauchisya jwantawe pangasala uchenene yakwaŵechetela yo.”
