Siku tatu baada ya kufika mkoani, Festo alitoka Kaisarea, akaenda Yerusalemu.

Makuhani wakuu pamoja na viongozi wa Wayahudi walimpa habari kuhusu mashtaka yaliyokuwa yanamkabili Paulo. Walimsihi Festo

awafanyie fadhili kwa kumleta Paulo Yerusalemu; walikuwa wamekula njama wamuue akiwa njiani.
4 Festa ing, “Paul ve Kaiserea khaw awh khawh na awm hy, a di hlanawh kai awm cena cet kawng nyng.
Lakini Festo alijibu, “Paulo atabaki kizuizini kule Kaisarea na mimi nitakwenda huko karibuni.
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.
Waacheni viongozi wenu waende huko pamoja nami wakatoe mashtaka yao juu yake kama amefanya chochote kiovu.”

Festo alikaa nao kwa muda wa siku nane au kumi hivi, kisha akarudi Kaisarea. Kesho yake alikwenda barazani, akaamuru Paulo aletwe ndani.
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.
Wakati Paulo alipofika, Wayahudi waliokuwa wametoka Yerusalemu walimzunguka wakaanza kutoa mashtaka mengi mazitomazito ambayo hawakuweza kuthibitisha.
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.
Kwa kujitetea, Paulo alisema, “Mimi sikufanya kosa lolote kuhusu Sheria ya Wayahudi, wala kuhusu Hekalu, wala kumhusu Kaisari.”
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.
Festo alitaka kujipendekeza kwa Wayahudi na hivyo akamwuliza Paulo, “Je, ungependa kwenda Yerusalemu na huko ukahukumiwe mbele yangu kuhusu mashtaka haya?”
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.
Paulo akajibu, “Nasimama mbele ya mahakama ya Kaisari na papa hapa ndipo ninapopaswa kupewa hukumu. Kama unavyojua vizuri, sikuwatendea Wayahudi ubaya wowote.
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.
Basi, ikiwa nimepatikana na kosa linalostahili adhabu ya kifo, siombi kusamehewa adhabu hiyo. Lakini kama hakuna ukweli katika mashtaka waliyotoa watu hawa, hakuna awezaye kunikabidhi kwao. Nakata rufani kwa Kaisari!”
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.
Basi, baada ya Festo kuzungumza na washauri wake, akamwambia Paulo, “Umekata rufani kwa Kaisari, basi, utakwenda kwa Kaisari.”
13 Khawnghi kawlhkalh a di awh Festa hqip aham Agrippa sangpahrang ingkaw Bernice ce Kaiserea na law hy nih.
Siku chache baadaye, mfalme Agripa na Bernike walifika Kaisarea ili kutoa heshima zao kwa Festo.
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.
Walikuwa huko siku kadhaa naye Festo akamweleza mfalme kesi ya Paulo: “Kuna mtu mmoja hapa ambaye Felisi alimwacha kizuizini.
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.
Nilipokwenda Yerusalemu makuhani wakuu na wazee wa Wayahudi walimshtaki na kuniomba nimhukumu.
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.
Lakini mimi niliwajibu kwamba si desturi ya Waroma kumtoa mtu aadhibiwe kabla mshtakiwa hajakutana na washtaki wake ana kwa ana na kupewa fursa ya kujitetea kuhusu hayo mashtaka.
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.
Basi, walipofika hapa sikukawia, ila nilifanya kikao mahakamani kesho yake, nikaamuru mtu huyo aletwe.
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.
Washtaki wake walisimama lakini hawakutoa mashtaka maovu kama nilivyokuwa ninatazamia.
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.
Ila tu walikuwa na mabishano kadhaa pamoja naye kuhusu dini yao na kuhusu mtu mmoja aitwaye Yesu ambaye alikufa, lakini Paulo anashikilia kwamba yu hai.
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.
Sikujua la kufanya kuhusu shauri hilo. Basi, nilimwuliza Paulo kama angependa kwenda mahakamani kule Yerusalemu kwa ajili ya mashtaka hayo.
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.
Lakini Paulo alikata rufani, akaomba aachwe kizuizini mpaka uamuzi wa shauri hilo ufanywe na Kaisari. Kwa hiyo niliamua akae kizuizini mpaka nitakapoweza kumpeleka kwa Kaisari.”
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.
Basi Agripa akamwambia Festo, “Ningependa kumsikia mtu huyu mimi mwenyewe.” Festo akamwambia, “Utamsikia kesho.”
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.
Hivyo, kesho yake, Agripa na Bernike walifika kwa shangwe katika ukumbi wa mkutano wakiwa wameandamana na wakuu wa majeshi na viongozi wa mji. Festo aliamuru Paulo aletwe ndani,
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.
Kisha akasema, “Mfalme Agripa na wote mlioko hapa pamoja nasi! Hapa mbele yenu yuko mtu ambaye jumuiya yote ya Wayahudi hapa na kule Yerusalemu walinilalamikia wakipiga kelele kwamba hastahili kuishi tena.
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.
Lakini mimi sikuona kuwa alikuwa ametenda chochote kibaya hata astahili kupewa adhabu ya kifo. Lakini, kwa vile Paulo mwenyewe alikata rufani kwa Kaisari, niliamua kumpeleka.
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.
Kwa upande wangu sina habari kamili ambayo naweza kumwandikia Kaisari juu yake. Ndiyo maana nimemleta hapa mbele yenu na mbele yako mfalme Agripa, ili baada ya kumchunguza, niweze kuwa na la kuandika.
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.
Kwa maana nadhani itakuwa kichekesho kumpeleka mfungwa bila kutaja wazi mashtaka yanayomkabili.”
