< Acts 25 >
1 And so, when Festus had arrived in the province, after three days, he ascended to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
फेस्तुस ऊ राज्य म पहुंचन को तीन दिन बाद कैसरिया सी यरूशलेम ख गयो।
2 And the leaders of the priests, and those first among the Jews, went to him against Paul. And they were petitioning him,
तब महायाजक अऊर यहूदियों को मुख्य लोगों न ओको आगु पौलुस पर आरोप लगायो;
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.
अऊर ओको सी अनुग्रह कर क् ओको विरोध म यो मांग करयो कि ऊ पौलुस ख यरूशलेम म बुलाये, कहालीकि हि ओख रस्ताच म मार डालन की ताक म होतो।
4 But Festus responded that Paul was to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would soon go there.
फेस्तुस न उत्तर दियो, “पौलुस कैसरिया म जेलखाना म हंय, अऊर मय खुद भी जल्दी उत जान वालो हय।”
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.”
तब कह्यो, “तुम म जो अधिकारी हंय हि संग चलो, अऊर यदि यो आदमी न कुछ गलत काम करयो हय त ओको पर दोष लगाये।”
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.
ऊ उन्को बीच आठ यां दस दिन रह्य क कैसरिया ख चली गयो; अऊर दूसरों दिन न्याय-आसन पर बैठ क आदेश दियो कि पौलुस ख लायो जाये।
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.
जब ऊ आयो त जो यहूदी यरूशलेम सी आयो होतो, उन्न आजु-बाजू खड़ो होय क ओको पर बहुत सो गम्भीर आरोप लगायो, जिन्को सबूत हि नहीं दे सकत होतो।
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.”
पर पौलुस न उत्तर दियो, “मय न नहीं त यहूदियों की व्यवस्था को अऊर नहीं मन्दिर को अऊर नहीं कैसर को विरुद्ध कोयी अपराध करयो हय।”
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?”
तब फेस्तुस न यहूदियों ख खुश करन की इच्छा सी पौलुस सी कह्यो, “का तय चाहवय हय कि यरूशलेम ख जाये; अऊर उत मोरो आगु तोरो यो आरोप रख्यो जाये?”
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.
पौलुस न कह्यो, “मय कैसर को न्याय-आसन को आगु खड़ो हय; मोरो मुकद्दमा को योच फैसला होनो चाहिये। जसो तय अच्छो तरह जानय हय, यहूदियों को मय न कुछ अपराध नहीं करयो।
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.”
यदि मय अपराधी हय अऊर मार डालन की सजा को लायक कोयी काम करयो हय, त मरन सी नहीं मुकरतो; पर जिन बातों को हि मोरो पर दोष लगावय हंय, यदि उन्म सी कोयी भी बात सच नहीं ठहरय, त कोयी मोख उन्को हाथ म नहीं सौंप सकय। मय कैसर की दुवा देऊ हय।”
12 Then Festus, having spoken with the council, responded: “You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go.”
तब फेस्तुस न मन्त्रियों की सभा को संग बाते कर क् उत्तर दियो, “तय न कैसर की दुवा दियो हय, तय कैसर कोच जवर जाजो।”
13 And when some days had passed, king Agrippa and Bernice descended to Caesarea, to greet Festus.
कुछ दिन बीतन को बाद अग्रिप्पा राजा अऊर बिरनीके न कैसरिया म आय क फेस्तुस सी मुलाखात करी।
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.
उन्को बहुत दिन उत रहन को बाद फेस्तुस न पौलुस को बारे म राजा ख बतायो: “एक आदमी हय, जेक फेलिक्स न जेलखाना म छोड़ गयो हय।
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.
जब मय यरूशलेम म होतो, त महायाजक अऊर यहूदियों को बुजूर्गों न ओको विरुद्ध फैसला करयो अऊर चाहयो कि ओख सजा दियो जाये।
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.
पर मय न उन्ख उत्तर दियो कि रोमियों की यो रीति नहाय कि कोयी आदमी ख सजा लायी सौंप दे, जब तक ओख अपनो आरोप लगावन वालो को आगु खड़ो होय क अपनो बचाव म उत्तर देन को अवसर नहीं मिलय।
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.
येकोलायी जब हि इत जमा भयो, देर करयो बिना, पर दूसरोंच दिन न्याय आसन पर बैठ क ऊ आदमी ख लावन की आज्ञा दियो।
18 But when the accusers had stood up, they did not present any accusation about him from which I would suspect evil.
जब ओको आरोप लगावन वालो खड़ो भयो, त उन्न असो कोयी अपराध को दोष नहीं लगायो, जसो मय समझत होतो।
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.
पर उन्को मतभेद अऊर यीशु नाम को एक आदमी को बारे म, जो मर गयो होतो अऊर पौलुस ओख जीन्दो बतावत होतो, विवाद करत होतो।
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.
मय उलझन म होतो कि इन बातों को पता कसो लगाऊं? येकोलायी मय न ओको सी पुच्छ्यो, ‘का तय यरूशलेम जाजो कि उत इन बातों को फैसला होय?’
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.”
पर जब पौलुस न दुवा दी कि ओको मुकद्दमा को फैसला महाराजाधिराज को इत हो, त मय न आज्ञा दी कि जब तक ओख कैसर को जवर नहीं भेजूं, ओख हिरासत म रख्यो जाये।”
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus: “I myself also want to hear the man.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
तब अग्रिप्पा न फेस्तुस सी कह्यो, “मय भी ऊ आदमी की सुननो चाहऊ हय।” ओन कह्यो, “तय कल सुन लेजो।”
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.
येकोलायी दूसरों दिन जब अग्रिप्पा अऊर बिरनीके बड़ो धूमधाम सी आयो अऊर पलटन को मुखिया अऊर नगर को मुख्य लोगों को संग दरबार म पहुंच्यो। तब फेस्तुस न आज्ञा दी कि हि पौलुस ख ले आये।
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.
फेस्तुस न कह्यो, “हे राजा अग्रिप्पा अऊर हे सब आदमियों जो इत हमरो संग हय, तुम यो आदमी ख देखय हय, जेको बारे म सब यहूदियों न यरूशलेम म अऊर इत भी चिल्लाय–चिल्लाय क मोरो सी बिनती करी कि येको जीन्दो रहनो ठीक नहाय।
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.
पर मय न जान लियो कि ओन असो कुछ नहीं करयो कि मार डाल्यो जाये; अऊर जब कि ओन खुदच महाराजाधिराज की दुवा दी, त मय न ओख भेजन को निर्णय करयो।
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.
मय न ओको बारे म कोयी निश्चित बात नहीं पायी कि अपनो मालिक को जवर लिखूं। येकोलायी मय ओख तुम्हरो आगु अऊर विशेष कर क् हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, तोरो आगु लायो हय कि जांचन को बाद मोख कुछ लिखन ख मिले।
27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to indicate the accusations set against him.”
कहालीकि बन्दी ख भेजनो अऊर जो दोष ओको पर लगायो गयो, उन्ख नहीं बतानो, मोख बेकार जान पड़य हय।”
