Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
U Festo winjila hwi jimbo elyo isiku elya tatu abhalile afume hu Kaisaria paka hu Yerusalemu.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Ugosi weshibhanza na Yahudi bhaletile amalulumwo hwa Festo, na bhanjile hwikhone hwa Festo.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
Bhalabhile uFesto huje uPaulo abhale hu Yerusalemu aje nkaabhabude mwidala.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Lelo uFesto ajile uPaulo afungwilwe hu Kaisaria, lelo umwene ahayinza uhwo nanali.
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Ajile “Bhaala bhabhajiye, tibhajenye abhale nabho. Nkashele zihweli embibhi zyazyonti hwe muntu unu mubhajiye hutake.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Nawakala ensiku nane nezyamwabho wagaluha hu Kaisari. Shandabho yakwe wakhala pitengo elyalonjele wakwizya uPaulo huje ayinze.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Nawafiha, Ayahudi bhabhafumile hu Yerusalemu bhaleta amashitaka amwamu gasigabhabhajiye ahakikisye.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
U Paulo wahwitetela waga, 'Siga imbombile embibhi hwa Yahudi, hushibhanza hwa Kaisari, siga entulile nahamo.'
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Lelo uFesto ahanzaga ahwipendekezye hwa Yahudi wabhuuzya uPaulo huje uhwanzaje tibhale alonjele hu Yerusalemu enongwa ezi?'
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
U Paulo waga ane enemeleye epa pitengo elyalongwe elya Kaisari pehwanziwa alongwe. Sembahoseye Ayahudi, neshi shulolile.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Ane nkashele nihweli zyenkosiye ezyalongwe huje enfwe, sigakhana afwe. Lelo nkanazimo numo umuntu yabhajiye antwale uhwo ehulabha u Kaisari. '
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
U Festo nawayanga ni baraza waga uhulabha uKaisari; ubhabhale hwa Kaisari.”
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
Nazyashila ensiku zinyinji umfumu u Agripa nu Bernike bhahafihile hu Kaisaria hujendele uFesto.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Nabhakhala ensiku zyenyinji uFesto aletile engongwa zya Paulo hwa mfumu; Waga, 'Umuntu umo alehwilwe epa umuntu unufungwe.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Nihali hu Yerusalemu agosi bheshibhanza nazee bha Yahudi bhaletile enongwa huline na bhabhuuzizya eshalonje enongwa eyo.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Ane nabhabhulile huje siga deestuli yetu hulonje umuntu nu upendelelo, umuntu yalongwa abhane nafasi eyahwitetele hwa bhantu bhabhahulonga.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
Nabhahinzile palishimo ana siganagulile, shandabho lwakwe, nahakhiye pitengo elyalonjele nahaga umuntu uyo ayinze muhati.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Bhala bhabhashitakile nabhaletaga amashitaka gabho, nahagaga jibha nagamo amashitaka amagosi gagaletilwe.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Nahalola bhadalisanya nawo, amambo ge dini yabho na mambo ega Yesu ula yafwiye uPaulo yaiga alishamwomi.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Ane napotilwe eshalilonje iswala eli nabhuuzya huje abhajiye abhale hu Yerusalemu huje bhalonjele uhwo enongwa zyabho ezi.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
Lelo uPaulo nahaletwa abhihwe pansi ye ulinzi aje ayamule umfumu naga abhihwe paka panaihutwala hwa Kaisari. '
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
U Agripa ayanjile nu Festo, “huje ingasungwilwe nane huje itejelezye umuntu unu.” U Festo, waga, “uhaihutejelezya shandabho.”
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Shandao lwakwe, uAgripa nu Bernike bhafishile ne shikulukulu sheshinji bhahinzile ne muukumbi nebhiheya na abhogopwe abhe muji. U Festo waga aletwe uPaulo hwibho.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
U Festo waga, “wee Mfumu na bhantu bhonti bhabhali epa, muhulola umuntu unu ejumuiya yonti eya Yahudi uhwo hu Yerusalemu nepa, bhahwaje embalinganye abheene bhabwaga bhaga afwe sigatihwanza aje akhale.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
Ane siga nalilolile elyahuje afwe eshi pepo akwizizye Umfumu ane etwalile hwa mwenee.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
Lelo siga endinizyasimbe hwa Mfumu. Ane shi iletile huliwe awe Mfumu Agripa, aje embenazyasimbe munongwa ene.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
endolile nemo emaana hulete ufungwe nkanongwa ezya hulonjele nazyo.
