Bawlos Waxaa Xukun Loo Hor Joojiyey Taliye Feelikos

24 Kolkaasaa shan maalmood dabadeed waxaa yimid Ananiyas oo ahaa wadaadkii sare oo wata kuwo waayeellada ah iyo mid codkar ah oo Tertullos la odhan jiray; oo waxay taliyihii u sheegeen wax Bawlos ka gees ah. Oo markii loo yeedhay ayaa Tertullos wuxuu bilaabay inuu isagii dacweeyo, oo wuxuu yidhi,

Adiga daraaddaa waxaannu ku raaxaysannaa nabad badan, oo dhaqaalahaaga aawadiisna xumaatooyinka waa laga hagaajiyaa quruuntan. Annaguna si walba iyo meel walba ayaannu ku aqbalnaa, adigan Feelikos ah oo sharafka weyn lahow, oo aad iyo aad ayaannu ugu mahadnaqaynaa. Laakiin si aanan kuu sii daalin, waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad raxmaddaada nooga maqashid dhawr eray. Maxaa yeelay, waxaannu aragnay in ninkanu yahay nin baas oo fidmad ka dhex kiciya Yuhuudda dunida joogta oo dhan, waana kan horgalaha u ah dariiqada Naasaraaniyiinta; oo wuxuu aad ugu dadaalay inuu macbudka nijaaseeyo; oo weliba annagu waan soo qabannay isagii, oo waxaannu ku xukumi lahayn wax sharcigayaga ku saabsan. Laakiin waxaa yimid sirkaalkii sare oo Lusiyas la yidhaahdo, oo gacantayada xoog kaga baxshay isagii, oo wuxuu kuwii soo dacwaynayay ku amray inay hortaada yimaadaan. Isaga markaad adiga qudhaadu imtixaantid waad ka ogaan kari doontaa waxyaalahan aannu isaga ku dacwaynayno oo dhan. Oo Yuhuuddiina way ku darmadeen dacwadii iyagoo adkaynaya in waxyaalahaasu saas yihiin.

10 Oo markii taliyuhu u gacan haadiyey inuu hadlo, ayaa Bawlos u jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi.

Anigu waan ogahay inaad sannado badan quruuntan xaakin u ahayd, sababtaas daraaddeed anigoo aad u faraxsan ayaan isdaafacayaa. 11 Adigu waad ogaan karaysaa inayan laba iyo toban maalmood ka badnayn kolkii aan Yeruusaalem caabudidda u tegey. 12 Anigoo qof la doodaya ama dad badan kicinaya laygama helin ama macbudka ama sunagogyada ama magaalada. 13 Kuumana ay caddayn karaan waxyaalihii ay imminka igu dacwaynayaan. 14 Laakiin tan baan kuu qiranayaa, inaan Ilaaha awowayaashayo ugu adeego sida Jidka ay yidhaahdaan dariiqo bidcinimo ah, anigoo rumaysan waxyaalaha sharcigu leeyahay oo dhan iyo waxyaalaha lagu qoray kitaabbadii nebiyada. 15 Oo waxaan xagga Ilaah ka rajaynayaa waxyaalaha ay kuwan qudhooduba filanayaan, waana inay jiri doonto sarakicidda ay kuwa xaqa ah iyo kuwa aan xaqa ahayn soo sara kici doonaan. 16 Tan ayaan ku dadaalayaa inaan had iyo goorba qabo qalbi aan xumaan u keenin xagga Ilaah iyo xagga dadba. 17 Haddaba sannado badan dabadeed ayaan waxaan u imid inaan quruuntayda u keeno sadaqooyin iyo qurbaanno. 18 Markaan kuwaas keenayay ayay macbudka iga heleen, anigoo daahirsamay, oo aan dad badan la joogin, oo aan buuq ku jirin; laakiin waxaa joogay kuwo Yuhuud ah oo Aasiya ka yimid 19 kuwaasoo ay waajib ahayd inay halkan hortaada joogaan oo ay i dacweeyaan haddii ay wax igu haystaan. 20 Haddii kalese nimankan qudhoodu ha sheegeen xaqdarradii ay igu heleen markii aan shirka hor istaagay, 21 haddii ayan ahayn codkan keliya oo aan ku dhawaaqay markaan iyaga dhex taagnaa oo idhi, Wax ku saabsan sarakicidda kuwii dhintay ayaad maanta igu xukumaysaan.

Feelikos Baa Xaajadii Dib U Dhigay

22 Laakiin Feelikos oo aad u sii garanaya wax ku saabsan Jidka ayaa xaajadoodii dib u dhigay oo yidhi, Kolkii sirkaalka sare oo Lusiyas ah yimaado ayaan xaajadiinna dhammaan u garan doonaa. 23 Markaasuu boqol-u-taliyihii ku amray in la ilaaliyo isagoo aan xidhnayn oo aan saaxiibbadiis laga joojin inay u adeegaan.

24 Laakiin dhawr maalmood dabadeed ayaa Feelikos yimid isagoo ay naagtiisa Darusilla oo Yahuudiyad ahayd la socoto, oo wuxuu u cid dirsaday Bawlos, oo wuxuu ka maqlay wax ku saabsan rumaysadkuu rumaystay Ciise Masiix. 25 Oo intuu kala hadlayay xaqnimada iyo iscelinta iyo xukunka imanaya, ayaa Feelikos cabsaday oo u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Haatan iska tag; oo markaan wakhti wanaagsan helo ayaan kuu yeedhan doonaa. 26 Wuxuu rajaynayay in Bawlos lacag siiyo isagii, sidaas daraaddeed ayuu marar badan u soo cid diray oo la hadlay isagii.

27 Laakiin markii laba sannadood dhammaatay waxaa Feelikos jagadiisa qaatay Borkiyos Feestos; Feelikosna isagoo doonaya inuu Yuhuuddii ka farxiyo ayuu Bawlos daayay isagoo xidhan.

Paul’s Trial Before Felix

24 Five days later the high priest Ananias(A) went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges(B) against Paul before the governor.(C) When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. Everywhere and in every way, most excellent(D) Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude. But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly.

“We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots(E) among the Jews(F) all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene(G) sect(H) and even tried to desecrate the temple;(I) so we seized him. [7] [a] By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”

The other Jews joined in the accusation,(J) asserting that these things were true.

10 When the governor(K) motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. 11 You can easily verify that no more than twelve days(L) ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12 My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple,(M) or stirring up a crowd(N) in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. 13 And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.(O) 14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors(P) as a follower of the Way,(Q) which they call a sect.(R) I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,(S) 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection(T) of both the righteous and the wicked.(U) 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear(V) before God and man.

17 “After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor(W) and to present offerings. 18 I was ceremonially clean(X) when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance.(Y) 19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia,(Z) who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they have anything against me.(AA) 20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin— 21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”(AB)

22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way,(AC) adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.” 23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard(AD) but to give him some freedom(AE) and permit his friends to take care of his needs.(AF)

24 Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.(AG) 25 As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control(AH) and the judgment(AI) to come, Felix was afraid(AJ) and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.” 26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him.

27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus,(AK) but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews,(AL) he left Paul in prison.(AM)
