13 Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo, Omukama Agripa na Bernike bhakingile Kaisaria okukola olugendo lunu lukomelesibhwe ku Festo.

14 Ejile enyanja ao kwa naku nyafu, Festo asilile ikesi ya Paulo ku mukama; Naika, 'omunu umwi asigilwe Anu na Feliki kuti mubhoywa.

15 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.

Nditapita ku Yerusalemu akulu a ansembe ndi akuluakulu a Ayuda anandifotokozera mlandu wake ndipo anandipempha kuti ndigamule kuti ndi wolakwa.

16 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 Kulwejo, bhejile bhejila amwi anu nitatulile kulindilila nawe Olunaku lunu lwalubhie nenyanjile ku chitebhe cha indamu no kulagilila omunu oyo aletwe munda.

Atabwera kuno pamodzi ndi ine, sindinachedwetse mlanduwo, koma ndinayitanitsa bwalo mmawa mwake ndi kulamula kuti amubweretse munthuyo.

18 Mu mwanya abhasitaki nibhemelegulu no kumusitaka, neganilisishe ati gatalio masitaka manene ganu galetelwe ku mwene.

Omuyimba mlandu aja atayimirira kuti ayankhule, iwo sananene cholakwa chilichonse chimene ndimayembekezera.

19 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.

Mʼmalo mwake, anatsutsana naye pa fundo zina za chipembedzo chawo ndi za munthu wakufa, dzina lake Yesu, amene Paulo akuti ali moyo.

20 Naliga nifundikiwe ingulu yo kugumenya omusango gunu, nimubhusha alabha akagendele Yerusalemu okulamulwa okulubhana ne misango jinu.

Ine ndinathedwa nzeru wosadziwa momwe ndikanafufuzira nkhaniyi; kotero ndinafunsa ngati akanafuna kupita ku Yerusalemu kuti akaweruzidwe kumeneko.

21 Mbe nawe Paulo ejile abhilikilwa natebhwa mu bhulindi ingulu yo obhulamusi bho mukama, nalagilie atulwe kukinga Anu nakamusile ku Kaisari.

Koma Paulo anapempha kuti akaonekere pamaso pa mfumu ya Chiroma, ndipo ndinalamula kuti asungidwe mpaka pamene ndidzamutumize kwa Kaisara.”

22 'Agripa aikile na Festo,”Naliga nendele one nimutegeleshe omunu unu.” “Festo, naika, “Mutondo oumutegelesha.”

Ndipo Agripa anati kwa Festo, “Ine ndikufuna ndimumve ndekha munthu ameneyu.” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mudzamumva mawa.”

23 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.

Mmawa mwake Agripa ndi Bernisi anabwera mwaulemu waukulu waufumu nalowa mʼbwalo la milandu pamodzi ndi akulu a asilikali ndiponso akuluakulu a mu mzindawo. Atalamula Festo kuti Paulo abwere, anabweradi.

24 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.

Festo anati, “Mfumu Agripa, ndi onse amene muli nafe pano, mukumuona munthu uyu! Ayuda onse anandipempha ine za uyu ku Yerusalemu ndiponso kuno ku Kaisareya, mofuwula kuti, ameneyu sayenera kukhala ndi moyo.

25 Nindola ati atakolele lyona lyona linu lyaliga liile olufu; Mbe nawe kulwa insonga amubhilikie Omukama, nalamue okumusila ewae.

Ine ndinapeza kuti iyeyu sanachite kanthu koyenera kufa, koma popeza anapempha kuti apite kwa mfumu ya Chiroma, ine ndinatsimikiza zomutumiza ku Roma.

26 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.

Koma ndilibe kanthu kenikeni koti ndilembere Wolemekezekayo za iyeyu. Nʼchifukwa chake ndabwera naye pamaso pa nonsenu, makamaka kwa inuyo mfumu Agripa, kuti mwina mukamufunsitsa ndikhale ndi choti ndilembe.

27 Kulwo kubha enilola itana nsonga yo kumusila omubhoywa obhutelesha amashitaka ganu gamwiile.

Pakuti ine ndikuganiza kuti ndi chinthu chopanda nzeru kutumiza wamʼndende popanda kutchula zifukwa zenizeni za mlandu wake.”
