Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 24
1 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.
And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 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;
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by you we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by your providence,
3 Mbe kwo bhusimi bhwona echilamila bhuli chinu chinu oukola, kulwe chibhalo Feliki nabhakesha.
We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Mbe nawe nitakwenda kukulengasha muno, enikwilembhelesha untegeleshe ku masango mafui kulwe chigongo chao.
Notwithstanding, that I be not wearisome anymore unto you, I pray you that you would hear us of your clemency a few words.
5 Kulwo kubha chamubhwene omunu unu omulagi-lagi, unu kakola abhayaudi bhona mu Chalo nibhalema okungwana. Ka ni mutangasha wa amajeebhu ga abhanazolayo.
For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
Who also has gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Ukamubhusha Paulo okulubhana na amasango ganu, Nolwo ukatula okwiigila Ni chinuki chinu echitula okumusitakila.”
Commanding his accusers to come unto you: by examining of whom yourself may take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 Abhayaudi ona nibhamusitaka Paulo, nibhaika ati amasango ganu galiga gali ge chimali.
And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 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.
Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that you have been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Outula okumenyegesha ati jichali kutulao nsiku kwambuka ekumi nebili kusoka anu nalinyile okuja okulamya mu Yerusalemu.
Because that you may understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem in order to worship.
12 bhejile bhansanga mu yekalu, nitabhambashanyishe na munu wona wona, na nitakolele njogele mulikofyanyisho, nolwo mu musi;
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 Nolwo bhatakutula okukumenyegesha amashitaka ganu abhakusita kwanye.
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 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.
But this I confess unto you, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 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;
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 Na ku linu, enikola emilimu koleleki nibhe no mutima gunu gutanesolo imbele ya Nyamuanga na imbele ya bhanu okulabha ku masango gona.
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.
17 Oli Jaja okutulao myaka myafu naja okuleta obhusakisi kwi yanga lyasu ne emigemu ja jimpilya
Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Nejile nakola kutya, abhayaudi bhalebhe abha Asia nibhansanga mu lumula lwokwesibhwa mu yekalu, Ni tana chise cha bhanu Nolwo njogele.
Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Abhanu bhanu bhanu jibheile okubhao imbele yao olyanu kutya na bhaike chinu bhali nacho ingulu yani Alabha bhali no musango gwona gwona.
Who ought to have been here before you, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 Amwi abhanu bhanu abhene bhaike Ni chikayoki chinu bhabhwene kwanye Nejile nemelegulu imbele ye china cha bhayaudi;
Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Atali ingulu ye chinu chimwi chinu naikile kwo bhulaka Anu nemelegulu agati gati yebhwe, 'Ni KU songa yo bhusuluko bha bhafuye emwe omundamula.'”
Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 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.”
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 Niwo nibhamulagilila omukulu wa abhasilikale amulinde Paulo, nawe abhe no mwanya Nolwo asige kubhao munu wo kubhaganya abhasani bhae bhasige okumusakila Nolwo okumugosolela.
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 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.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 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.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, wilful restrain, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go your way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for you.
26 Omwanya ogwo ogwo, eikanyaga ati Paulo kamuyana Jimpirya kulwejo amubhilikie ngendo nyafu naloma nage.
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 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.
But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
