Acts 25
1 Three days after Festus had arrived in his province, he left Caesarea and went up to Jerusalem.
Niwo Festo ejile egila mwiJimbo elyo na Jejile jatulao nsiku esatu agandele okusoka Kaisaria kukinga Yerusalemu.
2 There the chief priests and the leading men among the Jews laid an information before him against Paul,
Omugabhisi mukulu wa Bhayaudi ali masika bhaletele amalila ga Paulo ku Festo, nabhaikile kwa managa KU Festo.
3 and asked a favour of him, to Paul’s injury – to have Paul brought to Jerusalem. All the while they were plotting to make away with him on the road.
Nibhamusabhwa Festo echigongo ingulu ye misango ja Paulo abhone okumubhilikila Yerusalemu koleleki bhabhone okumwita mu njila.
4 But Festus answered that Paul was in prison at Caesarea, and that he himself would be leaving for that place shortly.
Mbe nawe Festo nasubhya ati Paulo aliga mubhoywa mu Kaisaria, na ati omwenene atakusubhayo eyo bhwangu.
5 ‘So let the influential men among you,’ he said, ‘go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, charge him formally with it.’
Aikile “kulwejo, bhalya bhanu abhatula, okugenda eyo neswe. Alabha chilio chinu chibhibhi ku munu unu, kubheile okumusitaka.”
6 After staying among them some eight or ten days, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he took his seat on the Bench, and ordered Paul to 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 On Paul’s appearance, the Jewish leaders who had come down from Jerusalem surrounded him, and made many serious charges, which they failed to establish.
Ejile akinga, abhayaudi okusoka Yerusalemu nibhemelegulu ayei, nibhasosha amasitaka mafu masito ganu bhatatulile kugakomelesha.
8 Paul’s answer to the charge was – “I have not committed any offence against the Jewish Law, or the Temple, or the Emperor.”
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, as Festus wished to gain popularity with the Jews, he interrupted Paul with the question, ‘Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried on these charges before me there?’
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 ‘No,’ replied Paul, ‘I am standing at the Emperor’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not wronged the Jews, as you yourself are well aware.
Paulo aikile, 'Enimelegulu imbhele ye chitebhe cha indamu echa Kaisaria nolwo kutyo jinyiile okulamulwa. Nichali kubhanyamulila abhayaudi, lwa kutyo awe Umenyele kisi.
11 If, however, I am breaking the law and have committed any offence deserving death, I do not ask to escape the penalty; but, if there is nothing in the accusations of these people, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to the Emperor.’
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, after conferring with his Council, answered, ‘You have appealed to the Emperor; to the Emperor you will go.’
'Festo ejile amala okwaika na bhe china nasubhya, “Oumusabhwa Kaisaria; oujo kuja ku Kaisaria.”
13 Some days later King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea, and paid a visit of congratulation to Festus;
Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo, Omukama Agripa na Bernike bhakingile Kaisaria okukola olugendo lunu lukomelesibhwe ku Festo.
14 and, as they were staying there for several days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king. ‘There is a man here,’ he said, ‘left a 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 came to Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priest and the elders laid an information, demanding judgment 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 My answer to them was, that it was not the practice of Romans to give up anyone to their accusers until the accused had met them face to face, and had also had an opportunity of answering the charges brought against them.
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 they met here, and without loss of time I took my seat on the Bench the very next day, and ordered the man to be brought before me.
Kulwejo, bhejile bhejila amwi anu nitatulile kulindilila nawe Olunaku lunu lwalubhie nenyanjile ku chitebhe cha indamu no kulagilila omunu oyo aletwe munda.
18 But, when his accusers came forward, they brought no charge of wrongdoing such as I had expected;
Mu mwanya abhasitaki nibhemelegulu no kumusitaka, neganilisishe ati gatalio masitaka manene ganu galetelwe ku mwene.
19 but I found that there were certain questions in dispute between them about their own religion, and about some dead man called Jesus, whom Paul declared 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 And, as I was at a loss how to enquire into questions of this kind, I asked Paul if he were willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be put on trial there.
Naliga nifundikiwe ingulu yo kugumenya omusango gunu, nimubhusha alabha akagendele Yerusalemu okulamulwa okulubhana ne misango jinu.
21 Paul, however, appealed to have his case reserved for the consideration of his August Majesty, so I ordered him to be detained in custody, until I could send him to the Emperor.’
Mbe nawe Paulo ejile abhilikilwa natebhwa mu bhulindi ingulu yo obhulamusi bho mukama, nalagilie atulwe kukinga Anu nakamusile ku Kaisari.
22 ‘I should like to hear this man myself,’ Agrippa said to Festus. ‘You will hear him tomorrow,’ Festus answered.
'Agripa aikile na Festo,”Naliga nendele one nimutegeleshe omunu unu.” “Festo, naika, “Mutondo oumutegelesha.”
23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come in full state and had entered the Audience Chamber, with the superior officers and the principal people of the city, by the order of Festus Paul was brought before them.
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 Then Festus said, ‘King Agrippa, and all here present, you see before you the man about whom the whole Jewish people have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly asserting that he ought not to 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 I found, however, that he had not done anything deserving death; so, as he had himself appealed to his August Majesty, I decided to send him.
Nindola ati atakolele lyona lyona linu lyaliga liile olufu; Mbe nawe kulwa insonga amubhilikie Omukama, nalamue okumusila ewae.
26 But I have nothing definite to write about him to my Imperial Master; and for that reason I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examining him, I may have something 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 seems to me absurd to send a prisoner, without at the same time stating the charges made against him.’
Kulwo kubha enilola itana nsonga yo kumusila omubhoywa obhutelesha amashitaka ganu gamwiile.
