Tich Joote 25
1 Bangʼ ndalo adek ka Festo nosedonjo e loch, noa Kaisaria modhi nyaka Jerusalem,
When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
2 kendo kuno jodolo madongo gi jotend jo-Yahudi nokel e nyime mi giwacho ketho mane gidonjonego Paulo.
Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
3 Ne gitemo saye mondo otimnegi ngʼwono owe Paulo odogi Jerusalem nikech negichano butone mondo ginege gie yo kodhi.
And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
4 Festo nodwokogi niya, “Paulo otwe Kaisaria, kendo an awuon abiro dhi ire kuno mapiyo,
But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
5 kuom mano, oruru jotendu moko adhigo mondo gidhi gidonjne kuno, kaponi osetimo gimoro marach.”
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 Bangʼ kane osebet kodgi kuom ndalo aboro kata apar, nolor odhi Kaisaria, eka kinyne nochoko bura mogolo chik mondo okel Paulo e nyime.
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 Kane Paulo odonjo, jo-Yahudi mane oyudo obiro koa Jerusalem nochungʼ olwore, ka gidonjone gi weche maricho ahinya, to ne ok ginyal nyiso ni wechego gin adier.
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 Eka Paulo nowacho kore, kodwokogi niya, “Onge gima aseketho kuom chik jo-Yahudi, kata kuom hekalu, kata kuom Kaisar.”
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 To Festo mane dwaro mondo omor jo-Yahudi nowachone Paulo niya, “Bende inyalo yie mondo idhi Jerusalem mondo kuno ema adhi ayalie kuom wechegi?”
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 Paulo nodwoke niya, “Sani achungʼ iyala gi Buch Kaisar, kendo ka ema owinjore ongʼadnae bura. Onge gima rach ma asetimo ne jo-Yahudi, kata in bende ingʼeyo wachno maber.
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 Ka dipo ni asetimo gimoro mowinjore gi tho, to ok atamora mondo kik nega. To ka nyalo bet ni ketho ma jo-Yahudigi odonjonago gin miriambo, to onge ngʼato man-gi teko mar chiwa e lwetgi. Kuom mano, akwayo mondo otera e nyim Kaisar.”
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 Kane Festo osekuotho gi jobuche, nongʼado bura kowacho niya, “Isekwayo mondo oteri e nyim Kaisar omiyo kuno ema ibiro dhiye!”
Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
13 Bangʼ ndalo manok, ruoth Agripa kod Bernike nobiro Kaisaria mondo omos Festo.
And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
14 Negibedo kanyo kuom ndalo mogwarore, omiyo Festo nopimo ne ruoth Agripa wach Paulo, kowachone niya, “Nitie ngʼat moro ka ma Feliks noweyo kotwe e od twech.
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 Kane adhi Jerusalem, jodolo madongo gi jodong jo-Yahudi nodonjone ka gidwaro mondo angʼadne buch tho.
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 “Ne anyisogi ni ok en kit jo-Rumi mondo ochiw ngʼato angʼata ne joma odonjone, kapok omiye thuolo mar wacho kore kuom weche modonjnego.
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 Kane gibiro ka, to ne aluongo bura ma ok odeko, kendo agolo Chik mondo kel ngʼatno e nyima.
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 To ka joma nodonjone nochungʼ mondo owuo, ne ok gihulo gima oketho kata mahundu moro ma notimo kaka ne aparo.
Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
19 Kar timo kamano, to ne gimino mana kode wach kuom kit lemogi kendo kuom ngʼat moro miluongo ni Yesu, mane osetho, to Paulo oramo ni ngʼatno ngima.
But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
20 Kane amedo nono tiend wachni, to notamo wangʼa, omiyo napenje ka doyie odhi Jerusalem mondo oyale kuno kuom wechegi.
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 Eka Paulo nokwayo mondo buche oter e nyim Kaisar. Omiyo nyocha agolo chik mondo odwoke e od twech nyaka chop aore ir Kaisar.”
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 Eka Agripa nowachone Festo niya, “Daher mondo awinje weche ngʼatno an bende.” Nodwoke niya, “Kiny niwinje.”
Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
23 Kinyne Agripa kod Bernike nobiro gi dhialruok maduongʼ ka gidonjo e od bura. Negidonjo kaachiel gi jodong jolweny madongo kod jodong dalano mamoko mogen. Eka Festo nogolo chik mondo okel Paulo e nyimgi, mi nokele.
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 Bangʼe Festo nowacho niya, “Ruoth Agripa kaachiel gi ji duto man kodwa ka, uneno ngʼatni! Jo-Yahudi duto osekwaya chakre Jerusalem nyaka Kaisaria ka gikok ni ok owinjore oweye obed mangima.
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 An to ne ayudo kaonge gima osetimo mowinjore githo, to nikech odwaro mondo Kaisar ema oyale, asengʼado mondo otere Rumi.
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 To kata kamano, aonge gi wach malongʼo ma anyalo ndiko ni Agripa kuome. Emomiyo asekele e nyimu uduto ka, to moloyo e nyimi, in Ruoth Agripa, mondo ka wasenone eka wayud wach ma dwandik kuome.
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 Nikech nenorena ni onge tiende oro ngʼat motwe ka ok oyang maler kethone mokwongo.”
For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
