Cei 25
1 Ce a qam khui a pha lawnaak nyn thum voei a law awh, Kaiserea khaw awhkawng Jerusalem na Festa ce cet hy,
When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
2 cawh khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw Juda a hqam cakhqi ce a haiawh cun unawh, Paul ami thawlh saknaak akawng ce kqawn pe uhy.
Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
3 Festa a venawh, a mingmih ak kawngaih sai pe nawh cekkhqi a kut awh Paul ce a hlah peek aham qeennaak thoeh khak uhy, kawtih cekkhqi ing Paul ce him aham lam awh thlang ana mah sak hawh uhy.
And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
4 Festa ing, “Paul ve Kaiserea khaw awh khawh na awm hy, a di hlanawh kai awm cena cet kawng nyng.
But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
5 Na mimah anglakawhkaw a hqamca thlang pynoet ingawm nik bawng unawh cawhkaw thlang ce thawlh naak a taak awhtaw nami oelh khak khak aham awm saw,” tinak khqi hy.
Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
6 Cekkhqi a venawh khaw kqet nyn nu hqa nyn nu a awm coengawh, Kaiserea khawna ce cet nawh a khawngawi nyn awh awidengnaak a taak awh Paul ce a haina khy sak hy.
Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
7 Paul a law awh, Jerusalem nakawng anuk law Judakhqi ing chung unawh Paul ce thawlh puk uhy, cehlai a thawlhnaak am tu pe thai uhy.
And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe,
8 Cekcoengawh Paul ing ak cangnaak awi ce kqawn hy. “Judakhqi a anaa awi ing ak kalh na bawkim ing ak kalh na Kaisara ing ak kalh na ikaw awm am sai nyng,” tina hy.
Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
9 Festa ing Judakhqi ak kawngaih ce sai aham a ngaih awh, Paul a venawh, “Jerusalem na cet nawh vawhkaw thawlh ami nik puknaak awh ve ka haiawh dyih aham nak ngaih nu?” tina hy.
Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee?
10 Paul ing, “Awideng aham awm nyng seiawm Kaisara a haiawh ni dyih aham ka ngaih. Namah ing ak leek cana na sim hawh amyihna Judahkhqi ak khan awh ikawmyih a thawlhnaak awm am sai nyng.
Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 kai ing ni thihnaak khoek dy awh thawlhnaak ka sai vik awhtaw, thih aham ap tha na nyng. Cehlai vawhkaw Judakhqi ing thawlh ami nik puknaak ve ama thym awhtaw, u ingawm kai ve a mingmih a kut awh amni pe thai kaw. Kaisar a haai awh dyi vang nyng,” tina hy.
For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar.
12 Festa ing cawh kaw awi ak kqawnkung khqi mi a ming doet qu coeng awh, “Kaisara a haiawh dyih aham thoeh hyk ti. Cedawngawh Kaisara a venna cet kawp ti,” tina hy.
Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
13 Khawnghi kawlhkalh a di awh Festa hqip aham Agrippa sangpahrang ingkaw Bernice ce Kaiserea na law hy nih.
And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 Khawnghi cawh a ni hawnaak hawh dawngawh, Festa ing Paul akawng ce sangpahrang a venawh kqawn pehy. “Vawh thawng ak tla thlang pynoet Felix ing cehta hy.
And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
15 Jerusalem khaw na ka ceh awh, Juda khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi ing anih ce thawlh sak unawh thih sak aham thoeh law uhy.
Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
16 Kai ing, thlang pynoet ing amah thawlh ak pukkhqi mi hqum qu unawh ak cangnaak awi kak kqawn hlanawh thlang a kut awh peek aham taw Rom phung amni.
To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
17 Kai a venawh ami law awh, a mingmih ak awi ce yih a eng kaana a khawngawi nyn awh awidengnaak sai nyng saw cawhkaw thlang ce khy sak nyng.
Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
18 Anih thawlh amik pukkhqi ce dyi unawh thawlh amik puk awh kak poeknaak amyihna ikaw thawlhnaak ami thawlh saknaak tang tang awm am awm hy.
Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
19 A mimah a bawknaak awh awipungnaak ingkaw ak thi hawh Jesu ce Paul ing hqing tlaih hy a ti dawngawh a ming oelh qunaak na awm hy.
But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
20 Cemyih awipungnaak ce ikawmyihna kqawn aham awm am sim nyng; cedawngawh Jerusalem na cet nawh cawh awideng aham ak ngaih hly nu tinawh doet nyng.
And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
21 Cehlai paul ing Kaisara ak awi tlyknaak ce a thoeh dawngawh, Kaisara a venna a ceh hlan dy ak nep na khoem aham awi pe nyng,” tina hy.
But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
22 Cawh Agrippa ing Festa a venawh, “Kamah qoe ing anih ce awi doet aham ngaih nyng,” tina hy. Anih ing, “Khawngawi awh doet bit kawp ti,” tina hy.
Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
23 A khawngawi nyn awh Agrippa ingkaw Bernice ce ani sui ani sak ing thoeih ang cam qu hqet nih nawh thlang kqeng anglakawh qam uk boeikhqi, khawk khui sawikung a hqamcakhqi mi lut hy nih. Cawh Festa ing awi pe nawh Paul ce law pyi uhy.
And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth.
24 Festa ing, “Agrippa sangpahrang ingkaw vawhkaw ak awm thlangkhqi boeih, vawhkaw thlang ve hu uhyk ti, ve ak thlang ak camawh Jerusalem ingkaw Sisarea khaw awhkaw Juda thlangkhqi boeih ing ka venawh qeennaak thoeh law uhy, ve ak thlang ve a hqing aham am tyng hy ti unawh khy uhy.
And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
25 Kai ingtaw a thihnaak khoek ikaw thawlhnaak am sai hy tice hu nyng, cehlai Kaisara boei a venawh ceh aham a thoeh dawngawh Rom na ceh sak aham kqawn hawh nyng.
Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.
26 Cehlai anih akawng Kaisarar a venawh ikawmyihna ca ka qee peek hly tice ak leek na am sim hlan nyng. Cedawngawh tuh nangmih boeih a haiawh law pyi nyng, awipui khyt na, nang Agrippa sangpahrang a haiawh, vawh kawng qee hly kawi awm ak awm hly khoem hy voei nu ti nyng.
Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write.
27 Ikawtih thawk tla thlang pynoet thawlh amik puknaak akawng ak nep cana a sim kaana tyih sawhqat ham taw am nep hy tinawh poek nyng,” tina hy.
For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
