Ndu Manzaniba 25
1 Zizan Festus a rini Lardia, i vi tra a ka hi, a zren rji ni Kasariya nda ka ri ni Urushelima.
When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
2 Kikle Prist baba bi ninkon kri nimi Yahudawa, ba nji tre wu wa tro nitu Bulus, nda mye Festus
Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
3 ni bre ndi du ya ba ni lo sron nitu Bulus, - ndi du yo ye ni Urushelima, nitu ba sia wan nkon wa ba wuu ni ya ybi ni nkon ye.
and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
4 Festus a sa bawu ndi ba vu Bulus lo zi ni Kasariya, i wawu me ana ni gbron nkon na, ani hiniki.
Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
5 “Nitu ki, biwa ba he ni nkon hi,” a tre, “baka huta hiki. Ikpe memenita he nitu iguyi, bika ye nhawu.”
Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
6 Festus a sonwu vi tandra hi wlon nda lu grji hi ni Kasariya, i ni vi wu huki, a kuson ni ruron gaatre nda nduba yo Bulus nji wu ye niwu.
When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgemet seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
7 Niwa a ye'a, Yahudawa rjini Urushelima ba ki whi niki, nda nji gbugbu kpi bi gbengblen ye nhawu ndana to nkon u low ni bana.
When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
8 Bulus a ngla kpama nda tre ndi, “Mina ti kpe wu latre nitu iduu wu Yahudawa, ko ka ni hekali na, mba ka ni siza na.”
as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
9 U Festus a ta son kpa nyime ni Yahudawa, kimayi ndu Bulus tre ndi, “Wu son hon hi ni Urushelima du mi hi gaatre ni tu kpi biyi niki?”
Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
10 Bulus a tre ndi, “Mi kri ni shishi ruron gaatre Siza, ni bubu wa ani wo tre mu.” Mina ti kpe meme ni Yahudawa na, me wa wume wu to.
Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
11 Mita na ti kpe meme mba mita ti kpe wa a tsra dumi kwu, mina kamu ni kwu na. I nha mba na kpe na, du ndrjo na kame chuwo ni bawu na. Mi bre kri ni shishi Siza.”
If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
12 Hu gon wa Festus ba tre baba bi son bi ninkon ba, a sa niwu ndi, “Wu bre ndi wu son kri ni shishi Siza, Ni shishi Siza mba wu hi!”
Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
13 Zizan, hu vi bari, Ichu agrippa mba Bernice ba ye ri ni Kasariya, nitu ye zren ya ndu wu Festus.
After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 Niwa ba heniki wu bi gbugbuwu, Festus a nji tre Bulus ye ni Ichua; a tre ndi, “Felix a ka igu ri don nigon nimi kotro.
And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto ye kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
15 Niwa mina hi ni Urushelima, ninkon Prists baba bi chiche Yahudawa ba nji tre ye nha nitu igu yi nimu, nda wa dumi lo wu kwu ni bawu.
about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
16 Mi sa bawu ndi a na he ni nkon wu hu bi Roma du ba ka ndrjo nu hama ni indji wa ba nhawu ka kri bla ni shishi biwa ba nhau a, nitu du to ngla tuma ni kpi wa ba nhau ni wua.
To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge ye cryme layde agaynst him:
17 Nituki, niwa ba ye wawumba ni wayi, mina gben na, nivi wu hukima, mi son ni ruron gaatrea ni ton du ba nji igua ye.
whe they were come hidder wt out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and comaunded ye ma to be brought forthe.
18 Niwa bi nhanwuba ba lu kri, bana nhawu ni kpe wa mi ban ndi a hi meme dri na.
Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
19 Hama ki, ba sia hlo nyu ni wu nitu nkon hu Irji mba mba nitu indji ri Yesu wa a kwu ye, wa Bulus ni ban di a he ni sisren.
but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
20 Mina to nkon wu hu ri shle tu tre yi na, niki mi myeu ka anison hi ni Urushelima, nda hi ngla tuma ni nha tre biyi.
And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
21 I wa Bulus a bre ndi ki don zi ni bubu tro, nitu du gben kpe wa kikle ninkon wawu ani ban ni tuma. Mi du ba ziu ni tro ni du mi ka tru hi ni Kaisar.”
Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
22 Agrippa a tre ni Festus, “Mi son wo igu'a ngame.” “Imble,” Festus a hla, “wu woo wu.”
Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
23 Niki ni vi wu hua, Agrippa mba Bernice ba ye ni kikle gan; nda ye ri ni mi ko sona ni ninkon sojoji baba kikle indji bi gbua. Niwa Festus a lu tre du ba hi njiwu ye, baka nji Bulus ye.
And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
24 Festus a tre ndi, “Ichu Agrippa, ni ba ndji me wawuu wa ba he niwa nitaa, wuto indji yi, ni Urushelima mba ni wayi ngame, i ba kpagro ndi du na la son ni sisren na.
And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present wt vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
25 Mi ya nito ndi anati kpe wa a tsra wu kwu na, i nitu wa a bre ndi du wawu hi ni shishi emperor wawu, mi ban zi ndi mi tru hi niwu.
Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had comitted. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
26 Niki mina he ni kpe tsatsra wa mi nha ni Bachi mu na. Nitu ki, mi njiwu ye ni wu, iwu Ichu Agrippa, nitu du mi kpa kpe wa mi nha nitu trea.
Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
27 A rjuto ana he nituma du me tru indji wa a he ni lo hama ni hla ngame nhan wa a heni tumaa.”
For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
