< Acts 25 >
1 And so, when Festus had arrived in the province, after three days, he ascended to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Ita, simrek ni Festo iti probinsia, ken kalpasan iti tallo nga aldaw, simmang-at isuna idiay Jerusalem manipud Cesarea.
2 And the leaders of the priests, and those first among the Jews, went to him against Paul. And they were petitioning him,
Nangiyeg dagiti panguloen a padi ken dagiti mabigbigbig a Judio kadagiti pammabasol a maibusor ken Pablo kenni Festo, ken nagsaoda a sipipigsa kenni Festo.
3 asking for favor against him, so that he would order him to be led to Jerusalem, where they were maintaining an ambush in order to kill him along the way.
Ken nagdawatda iti tulong kenni Festo iti maipapan kenni Pablo, bareng no ayabanna idiay Jerusalem tapno iti kasta ket mabalinda a patayen isuna iti dalan.
4 But Festus responded that Paul was to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would soon go there.
Ngem insungbat ni Festo a ni Pablo ket balud idiay Cesarea, ket iti mabiit, agsubli isuna sadiay.
5 “Therefore,” he said, “let those among you who are able, descend at the same time, and if there is any guilt in the man, they may accuse him.”
“Ngarud, kadagidiay makabael,” kinunana, “masapul a makisurot kadakami sadiay. No adda man ti banag a saan a nasayaat iti dayta a tao, masapul nga idarumyo isuna.”
6 Then, having stayed among them no more than eight or ten days, he descended to Caesarea. And on the next day, he sat in the judgment seat, and he ordered Paul to be led in.
Kalpasan a nagtalinaed isuna iti walo wenno sangapulo pay nga aldaw, bimmaba isuna idiay Cesarea. Ket iti simmaruno nga aldaw, nagtugaw isuna iti tugaw iti pangukoman ket imbilinna a maiyeg ni Pablo kenkuana.
7 And when he had been brought, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, throwing out many serious accusations, none of which they were able to prove.
Idi simmangpet isuna, agtaktakder iti asideg dagiti Judio a naggapu idiay Jerusalem, ket nangyegda iti adu a nadagsen a pammabasol a saanda a mapaneknekan.
8 Paul offered this defense: “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any matter.”
Inkalintegan ni Pablo iti bagina ken kinunana, “Saan a maibusor iti nagan dagiti Judio, saan a maibusor iti templo, ken saan a maibusor kenni Cesar, adda kadi iti naaramidko a dakes.”
9 But Festus, wanting to show greater favor to the Jews, responded to Paul by saying: “Are you willing to ascend to Jerusalem and to be judged there about these things before me?”
Ngem kayat ni Festo a maalana ti rikna dagiti Judio, ket sinungbatanna ngarud ni Pablo a kinunana, “Kayatmo kadi iti sumang-at idiay Jerusalem ken tapno maukomka babaen kaniak maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag sadiay?
10 But Paul said: “I stand in Caesar’s tribunal, which is where I ought to be judged. I have done no harm to the Jews, as you well know.
Kinuna ni Pablo, “Agtaktakderak iti sangoanan iti tugaw a pangukoman ni Cesar a rumbeng a pakaukomak. Awan iti nagkamaliak kadagiti Judio, kas ammoyo met a nalaing.
11 For if I have harmed them, or if I have done anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying. But if there is nothing to these things about which they accuse me, no one is able to deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
Ngem no nakaaramidak iti dakes ken no nakaaramidak iti banag a pakaikariak iti pannakatay, saanak nga agkedked a matay. Ngem no dagiti pammabasolda ket awan kinapudnona, awan iti siasinoman a mabalin a mangiyawat kaniak kadakuada. Umawagak kenni Cesar.”
12 Then Festus, having spoken with the council, responded: “You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go.”
Ket nakisarita ni Festo iti konseho, ken kalpasanna simmungbat isuna, “Immawagka ken ni Cesar; mapankanto ken ni Cesar.”
13 And when some days had passed, king Agrippa and Bernice descended to Caesarea, to greet Festus.
Ita kalpasan iti sumagmamano nga aldaw, simmangpet da Ari Agripa ken Bernice idiay Cesarea tapno agipaay iti opisial a panangsarungkar kenni Festo.
14 And since they remained there for many days, Festus spoke to the king about Paul, saying: “A certain man was left behind as a prisoner by Felix.
Kalpasan nga adda isuna idiay iti adu nga aldaw, imparang ni Festo ti nakaidaruman ni Pablo iti ari; kinunana, “Adda maysa a lalaki nga imbati ni Felix ditoy a kas balud.
15 When I was at Jerusalem, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the Jews came to me about him, asking for condemnation against him.
Idi addaak idiay Jerusalem, nangiyeg kaniak dagiti panguloen a papadi ken dagiti panglakayen dagiti Judio kadagiti pammabasol a maibusor iti daytoy a tao, ken dinawatda iti pannakaikeddeng a maibusor kenkuana.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before he who is being accused has been confronted by his accusers and has received the opportunity to defend himself, so as to clear himself of the charges.
Iti daytoy, simmungbatak a saan a kaugalian dagiti Romano a mangiyawat iti tao a kas pabor; ngem ketdi, rumbeng nga adda iti gundaway iti naidarum a tao a mangsango kadagiti nangidarum kenkuana tapno maikalinteganna ti bagina a maibusor kadagiti pammabasol.”
17 Therefore, when they had arrived here, without any delay, on the following day, sitting in the judgment seat, I ordered the man to be brought.
Ngarud, idi immayda nga agkakadua ditoy, saanak a naguray, ngem iti simmaruno nga aldaw nagtugawak iti tugaw iti pangukoman ket imbilinko a maiyeg dayta a tao.
18 But when the accusers had stood up, they did not present any accusation about him from which I would suspect evil.
Idi timmakder dagiti nangidarum ken inakusaranda isuna, napanunotko nga awan iti nadagsen kadagiti pammabasol nga inyegda a maibusor kenkuana.
19 Instead, they brought against him certain disputes about their own superstition and about a certain Jesus, who had died, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.
No di ket, adda laeng iti saanda a pagkikinnaawatan maipapan iti bukodda a relihion ken maipapan iti maysa nga agnagan Jesus a natayen, nga ibagbaga ni Pablo a sibibiag.
20 Therefore, being in doubt about this kind of question, I asked him if he was willing go to Jerusalem and to be judged there about these things.
Maburburtiaanak iti maipanggep iti daytoy, no kasanok a palutputen iti daytoy a banag, ken dinamagko kenkuana no mapan idiay Jerusalem tapno maukom sadiay maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag.
21 But since Paul was appealing to be kept for a decision before Augustus, I ordered him to be kept, until I might send him to Caesar.”
Ngem idi dinawat ni Pablo a maguardiaan pay laeng agingga iti panangikeddeng kenkuana ti Emperador, imbilinko nga agtalinaed isuna a sibabalud agingga nga ibaonko isuna kenni Cesar.
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus: “I myself also want to hear the man.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Nagsao ni Agripa kenni Festo, “Kayatko met iti dumngeg iti daytoy a tao.” “Inton bigat,” Kinuna ni Festo, “Mangngegmonto isuna.”
23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had arrived with great ostentation and had entered into the auditorium with the tribunes and the principal men of the city, Paul was brought in, at the order of Festus.
Isu nga iti simmaruno nga aldaw, immay ni Agripa ken ni Bernice nga adda ti adu a seremonia; immayda idiay pangukoman a kaduada dagiti opisyal dagiti soldado ken dagiti mabigbigbig a tao iti siudad. Ket idi insao ni Festo ti bilin, naiyeg ni Pablo kadakuada.
24 And Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present together with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews disturbed me at Jerusalem, petitioning and clamoring that he should not be allowed to live any longer.
Kinuna ni Festo, “Ari Agripa, ken kadakayo amin a lallaki nga adda kadakami ditoy, makitayo daytoy a lalaki; nakiyuman kaniak dagiti amin a Judio idiay Jerusalem ken uray met ditoy, ken impukkawda kaniak a saanen a rumbeng nga agbiag daytoy a tao.
25 Truly, I have discovered nothing brought forth against him that is worthy of death. But since he himself has appealed to Augustus, it was my judgment to send him.
Ngem naadalko nga awan iti naaramidna a rumbeng a pakatayanna; ngem gapu ta immawag isuna iti Emperador, inkeddengko nga ibaon isuna.
26 But I have not determined what to write to the emperor about him. Because of this, I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, O king Agrippa, so that, once an inquiry has occurred, I may have something to write.
Ngem awan ti ammok nga uray ania nga isuratko iti Emperador. Gapu iti daytoy, inyegko isuna kadakayo, nangnangruna kenka, Ari Agripa tapno adda koma iti maisuratko maipanggep iti nakaidarumanna.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to indicate the accusations set against him.”
Ta makitak a saan a rumbeng a mangibaonak iti balud ken saanko pay nga ipablaak dagiti pammabasol a maibusor kenkuana.”
