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, |

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?" |
| Paulo akasema, Mimi ninasimama hapa mbele ya kiti cha hukumu cha Kaisari, ndipo panipasapo kuhukumiwa; sikuwakosa Wayahudi neno, kama wewe ujuavyo sana. Matendo ya Mitume 25:10 |

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; |
| ambaye nilipokuwa Yerusalemu wakuu wa makuhani na wazee wa Wayahudi wakaniarifu habari zake, wakinitaka hukumu juu yake. Matendo ya Mitume 25:15 |
about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him. |

To whom I answered 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. |

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. |
| Na wale waliomshitaki waliposimama hawakuleta neno lo lote baya, kama nilivyodhani, Matendo ya Mitume 25:18 |
Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed; |
| bali walikuwa na maswali mengine mengine juu yake katika dini yao wenyewe, na katika habari ya mtu mmoja Yesu, aliyekuwa amekwisha kufa, ambaye Paulo alikaza kusema kwamba yu hai. Matendo ya Mitume 25:19 |
but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. |
| Nami nikaona shaka jinsi ya kutafuta hakika ya habari hii, nikamwuliza kama anataka kwenda Yerusalemu ahukumiwe huko katika mambo haya. Matendo ya Mitume 25:20 |
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. |
| Lakini Paulo alipodai kuwekwa ahukumiwe na Kaisari, nikaamuru alindwe hata nitakapompeleka kwa Kaisari. Matendo ya Mitume 25:21 |
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." |
| Agripa akamwambia Festo, Mimi nami nalikuwa nikitaka kumsikia mtu huyu. Akasema, Utamsikia kesho. Matendo ya Mitume 25:22 |
Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him." |
| Hata asubuhi Agripa akaja pamoja na Bernike kwa fahari nyingi, wakaingia mahali pa kusikia maneno, pamoja na maakida wakuu na watu wakuu wa mji; Festo akatoa amri, Paulo akaletwa. Matendo ya Mitume 25:23 |
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 principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. |
| Festo akasema, Mfalme Agripa, na ninyi nyote mliopo hapa pamoja nasi, mnamwona mtu huyu, ambaye jamii yote ya Wayahudi huko Yerusalemu na hapa pia wamenitaka niwasaidie, wakipiga kelele kwamba haimpasi kuishi zaidi. Matendo ya Mitume 25:24 |
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. |
| Lakini mimi naliona kwamba hakutenda neno la kustahili kuuawa, na yeye mwenyewe alipotaka kuhukumiwa na Kaisari, nalikusudia kumpeleka kwake. Matendo ya Mitume 25:25 |
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. |
| Nami katika habari yake sina neno la hakika la kumwandikia bwana. Kwa hiyo nimemleta hapa mbele yenu, hasa mbele yako wewe, mfalme Agripa, ili akiisha kuulizwa-ulizwa nipate neno la kuandika. Matendo ya Mitume 25:26 |
Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write. |
| Kwa maana naona ni neno lisilo maana kumpeleka mfungwa, bila kuonyesha mashitaka yale aliyoshitakiwa. Matendo ya Mitume 25:27 |
For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him." |
