Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
Jejile jatulao naku etanu, Omugabhisi omukulu Anania, abhakaluka abhandi no mwaiki umwi unu kabhwilikilwa Tertulo, nibhagenga alya. Abhanu bhanu bhaleta amasitaka ga Paulo ku Gavana mukulu.
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
Paulo ejile nemelegulu imbhele ya Gavana, Tertulo namba okumusitaka no kumwaika ku Gavana, “Kulwa insonga yao chili no mulembe munene; Na kulwe ebhilolo bhyao ebhileta obhuindusi bhe kisi mwi Yanga lyeswe;
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Mbe kwo bhusimi bhwona echilamila bhuli chinu chinu oukola, kulwe chibhalo Feliki nabhakesha.
4 But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
Mbe nawe nitakwenda kukulengasha muno, enikwilembhelesha untegeleshe ku masango mafui kulwe chigongo chao.
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Kulwo kubha chamubhwene omunu unu omulagi-lagi, unu kakola abhayaudi bhona mu Chalo nibhalema okungwana. Ka ni mutangasha wa amajeebhu ga abhanazolayo.
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
8 By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
Ukamubhusha Paulo okulubhana na amasango ganu, Nolwo ukatula okwiigila Ni chinuki chinu echitula okumusitakila.”
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
Abhayaudi ona nibhamusitaka Paulo, nibhaika ati amasango ganu galiga gali ge chimali.
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
Mbe Omutwale ejile amusomelesha no kubhoko koleleki Paulo aike, Paulo nasubhya ati, “Enimenya Ati mu myaka myafu uli mulamusi wa liyanga linu, na nino bhukondeleywe kwo kwiyelesha omwene kwawe.
11 seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
Outula okumenyegesha ati jichali kutulao nsiku kwambuka ekumi nebili kusoka anu nalinyile okuja okulamya mu Yerusalemu.
12 In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
bhejile bhansanga mu yekalu, nitabhambashanyishe na munu wona wona, na nitakolele njogele mulikofyanyisho, nolwo mu musi;
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
Nolwo bhatakutula okukumenyegesha amashitaka ganu abhakusita kwanye.
14 But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
Enikilishanya nalinu kwawe, ati ku njila ilya eyo abhaibhilikila lijeebhu, kunjila eyo eyo enimukolela Nyamuanga wa bhalata bheswe. Anye nili wechimali ku gonna ganu gali mubhilagilo na maandiko ga bhalangi.
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Nili no bhubhasi bhulya bhulya ku Nyamuanga abho Nolwo abho nabho abhabhutegelela, okuja ku bhusuluko bha bhafuye, ku bhona abhechimali na bhanu bhatali bhechimali one;
16 In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
Na ku linu, enikola emilimu koleleki nibhe no mutima gunu gutanesolo imbele ya Nyamuanga na imbele ya bhanu okulabha ku masango gona.
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
Oli Jaja okutulao myaka myafu naja okuleta obhusakisi kwi yanga lyasu ne emigemu ja jimpilya
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
Nejile nakola kutya, abhayaudi bhalebhe abha Asia nibhansanga mu lumula lwokwesibhwa mu yekalu, Ni tana chise cha bhanu Nolwo njogele.
19 They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
Abhanu bhanu bhanu jibheile okubhao imbele yao olyanu kutya na bhaike chinu bhali nacho ingulu yani Alabha bhali no musango gwona gwona.
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
Amwi abhanu bhanu abhene bhaike Ni chikayoki chinu bhabhwene kwanye Nejile nemelegulu imbele ye china cha bhayaudi;
21 unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
Atali ingulu ye chinu chimwi chinu naikile kwo bhulaka Anu nemelegulu agati gati yebhwe, 'Ni KU songa yo bhusuluko bha bhafuye emwe omundamula.'”
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
Feliki aliga abhwiliwe kisi okulubhana na injila, na nibhasiga okugendelela ne chinyanjo. Naika, “Lisia omukulu wa abhasilikale alibha aja emwalo okusoka Yerusalemu enisosha amalagililo ingulu ya amasitaka gemwe.”
23 He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
Niwo nibhamulagilila omukulu wa abhasilikale amulinde Paulo, nawe abhe no mwanya Nolwo asige kubhao munu wo kubhaganya abhasani bhae bhasige okumusakila Nolwo okumugosolela.
24 After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo, Feliki nasubha na Drusila Omugasi unu aliga ali Muyaudi, natuma okumubhilikila Paulo nategelesha okusoka ku mwene emisango je likilisha mu Yesu Kristo.
25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
Nawe anu Paulo aliga ali na maikano nage okulubhana ne chimali cho kwibhalilila na indamu inu eijokuja, Feliki nabha no bhubha nasubhya, “Nuje kula kwa oli, nawe nikabhona omwanya lindi, enikubhilikila.
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
Omwanya ogwo ogwo, eikanyaga ati Paulo kamuyana Jimpirya kulwejo amubhilikie ngendo nyafu naloma nage.
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
Nawe myaka ebhili Jejile jatula, Porkio Festo nabha mutwale ejile atulao Feliki, nawe Feliki endaga okwitula imbele ku bhayaudi, kwibhyo namusiga Paulo emwalo yo bhwangalisi.
