< Acts 25 >
1 Three days after Festus had arrived in the province he left Caesarea to go to Jerusalem.
Fesadase da Sesaliaga doaga: le, eso udiana aligili, yolesili asili, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga doaga: i.
2 The chief priests and Jewish leaders came to him and brought their charges against Paul.
Yelusalemega, gobele salasu ouligisu dunu amola Yu ouligisu dunu da Boloma fofada: su liligi ema olelei.
3 They begged Festus as a favor to send Paul to Jerusalem, plotting to ambush and kill him on the way.
Ilia Fesadasema e da Bolo Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga fofada: musa: oule misa: ne, ha: giwane sia: i. Bai ilia da logoga Bolo medole legemusa: ilegeiba: le, amane sia: i.
4 But Festus replied that Paul was in custody at Caesarea and that he himself would be there shortly.
Be Fesadase da bu adole i, “Bolo da Sesalia se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali esala. Na da fonobahadi aligili, Sesalia moilaiga buhagimu.
5 “Your leaders can come with me, and make their accusation against this man, if he has done anything wrong,” he told them.
Dilia ouligisu dunu da Sesalia moilaiga na sigi asili, Bolo da wadela: i hou hamoi galea, ema fofada: mu da defea.”
6 After staying there with them for no more than eight or ten days, Festus returned to Caesarea. The following day he took his seat as judge, and ordered that Paul be brought before him.
Fesadase da eso nabuane Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega ouesalu, Sesalia moilai amoga asi. Golale hahabe, e da fofada: su diasuga golili sa: ili, fili, Bolo ema oule misa: ne sia: i.
7 When he came in the Jews that had come from Jerusalem surrounded him and brought many serious charges against him that they couldn't prove.
Bolo da doaga: loba, Yu dunu amo da Yelusalemega misi ilia da Boloma bagadewane diwaneya udidili sia: nanu. Be ba: su dunu hameba: le, Bolo dafamu da hamedei ba: i.
8 Paul defended himself, telling them, “I have not sinned at all against the Jewish law, the Temple, or Caesar.”
Bolo da ea hou gaga: i, amane, “Na da ninia Sema, Yu dunu, Debolo Diasu amola Louma gamane ouligisudafa, amo huluanema wadela: le hamedafa hamoi.”
9 But Festus, who was looking to gain favor with the Jews, asked Paul, “Are you willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried before me there about these matters?”
Be Fesadase da Yu dunu na: iyado hamomusa: dawa: beba: le, e da Boloma amane adole ba: i, “Di da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga amo fofada: su hou nama bu fofada: ma: ne masunu da defeala: ?”
10 “I'm standing before Caesar's court to be tried, right where I should be,” Paul replied. “I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.
Bolo da bu adole i, “Na da Louma gamane ouligisudafa amo ea fofada: su diasudafa amo ganodini lela. Amo da defea. Na da Yu dunu wadela: ma: ne, wadela: i hamedafa hamoi. Amo di noga: le dawa:
11 If I've committed a crime and have done something that deserves death, I do not ask to be pardoned from a death sentence. But if there's no substance to these accusations they're making against me, then nobody has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Na da Sema wadela: lesi ganiaba, o se imunusa: fofada: su amo defele wadela: i hamoi ganiaba, na da se imunusa: fofada: mu da defea gala: loba. Be nama fofada: su da ogogoi ganiaba, na da se imunusa: fofada: mu da defea hame gala: loba. Na da Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema fofada: ma: mu.”
12 Festus then conferred with the council, and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!”
Amalalu, Fesadase, ea fada: i adole iasu dunuma gilisili sia: dalu, Boloma bu adole i, “Di da Louma Gamane ouligisudafa ema fofada: musa: adole ba: beba: le, defea, di da ema fofada: musa: masunu!”
13 Several days later, King Agrippa and his sister Bernice arrived in Caesarea and came to pay their respects to Festus.
Fa: no, hina bagade Agaliba amola idua Benisi, da Fesadase gousa: musa: , Sesalia moilaiga misi.
14 They were staying some time so Festus presented Paul's case to the king, explaining, “There's a man that Felix left as a prisoner here.
Eso udianawane esalu, Fesadase da Agalibama Bolo ea hou olelei, amane, “Dunu da guiguda: esala, Filigisi da asiba: le, amo e da se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali amomane fisi.
15 When I was in Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priests and leaders came and made accusations against him and asked me to sentence him.
Na da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga asili, Yu gobele salasu ouligisu dunu amola asigilai dunu, ilia da e da wadela: le hamoi amo sia: i. Ilia da na ema medoma: ne fofada: musa: sia: i.
16 I replied that it is not according to Roman law to convict anyone without having them face their accusers and giving them the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.
Be na ilima bu adole i, ‘Ninia Louma dunu hou da agoane gala. Dunu ilia eno dunu da wadela: le hamoi sia: beba: le, ninia da amo dunuma udigili hame fofada: sa. E da ea hou gaga: ma: ne, ema fofada: su dunu hidadea ilia odagi ba: beba: le fawane fofada: mu!’ na amane sia: i.
17 So when his accusers arrived here, I wasted no time and convened the court the very next day. I ordered the man to be brought in.
Amaiba: le, ilia guiguda: manoba, golale hahabe na da hedolowane fofada: su diasu amo ganodini fili, na dadi gagui ilima Bolo ganodini oule misa: ne sia: i.
18 However, when the accusers got up they didn't bring charges of criminal acts as I expected.
Ema ha lai dunu da wa: legadole, ema diwaneya udidi. Na da agoane dawa: i galu. Ilia da e da wadela: idafa hou hamoi sia: mu na dawa: i galu. Be hame.
19 Instead they brought up controversies over religious questions, and over a man called Jesus who was dead but whom Paul insisted was alive.
Be ilia ema amane fofada: i. E da ilia Gode Ea sema wadela: lesi, ilia sia: i. Amola e da ogogosu dunu ea dio amo Yesu da bogoi be bu wa: legadole esala, amo ogogole sia: i, ilia diwaneya udidi.
20 Since I was undecided as to how to proceed in investigating such matters, I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there.
Na da amo hou bai dawa: mu gogolei galu. Amaiba: le, Boloma na amane adole ba: i, ‘Di da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga amo fofada: su hou bu fofada: ma: ne masunu da defeala: ?’
21 However, Paul appealed for his case to be heard by the emperor, so I ordered him detained until I could send him to Caesar.”
Be Bolo da Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema fofada: musa: sia: i. E da se dabe iasu diasu sosodo aligisu dunu amoga ouligilalu, Louma gamane ouligisudafa fofada: musa: masunu sia: i. Amaiba: le, na dadi gagui dunuma, na amo hou hamomusa: sia: i. Na da Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema asunasimusa: dawa: i!”
22 “I would like to hear the man myself,” Agrippa told Festus. “I'll arrange for you to hear him tomorrow,” Festus replied.
Agaliba da Fesadasema amane sia: i, “Amo dunu ea sia: nisu nabimu hanai gala.” Fesadase da bu adole i, “Defea! Aya hahabe di da nabimu!”
23 The next day Agrippa arrived with Bernice in great ceremonial splendor and entered the auditorium with the commanders and leading citizens. Then Festus ordered Paul to be brought in.
Golale hahabe, Agaliba amola Benisi da misini, dunu bagohame elama nodone hamonanebe ba: i. Dunu gilisisu diasu bagade amo ganodini golili sa: ili, dadi gagui ouligisu dunu huluane amola moilai ouligisu dunu, gilisila misi. Fesadase sia: beba: le, sosodo aligisu dunu da Bolo diasu ganodini oule misi.
24 “King Agrippa, and everyone who is present here with us,” Festus began, “you see before you this man whom all the Jewish people, both here and in Jerusalem, have complained to me about, shouting that he shouldn't be allowed to live.
Fesadase amane sia: i, “Hina Agaliba amola dunu huluane guiguda: gilisi. Amo dunu ba: ma. Ema Yu fi dunu huluane guiguda: esala amola Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini esala, amo da ema halale fofada: sa. Ilia ha: giwane, e bogoma: ne medomusa: halasa.
25 However, I discovered he has not committed any crime that deserves death, and since he has appealed to the emperor I decided to send him there.
Be e da se imunusa: fofada: su amo defele wadela: le hamoi na da hamedafa ba: i. E da hisu Louma ouligisudafa ema fofada: musa: sia: i dagoiba: le, na da Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema asunasimusa: sia: i dagoi.
26 But I don't have anything specific to write about him to His Imperial Majesty. That's why I have brought him before you so I can have something definite to write.
Be na da bai moloidafa Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema meloa dedene imunu gogoleiba: le, na da di ba: ma: ne amo dunu oule misi. Hina bagade Agaliba! Disu noga: le dawa: ma. Bai na da ema fofada: nanu, bai noga: i amo Louma gamane ouligisudafa ema dedemu hanai gala.
27 It doesn't seem fair to me to send on a prisoner without explaining the charges made against him.”
E wadela: i hou mae ba: le, ema fofada: su noga: le hame dawa: le, udigili asunasimu da defea hame galebe.”
