Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Tekah kho te a cawt tih hnin thum phoeiah tah Phesto tah Kaiserea lamloh Jerusalem la cet.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Te vaengah Paul te khosoihham rhoek neh Judah rhoek kah a cong a khang rhoek loh anih taengla a phoe puei uh.
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
Paul te khaw Jerusalem la tah ham a taengah lungvatnah neh a bih uh tih anih te a hloep uh. A longpueng ah ngawn ham rhongngolnah a khueh uh.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Tedae Paul te Kaiserea ah khoem ham Phesto loh a thui pah tih amah tah thamaa la cet ham cai.
5 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.
Te dongah, “Nangmih khuiah tatthai rhoek ha suntla uh lamtah tekah hlang taengah aka lang pakhat khaw a om atah anih paelnaeh nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
6 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.
Amih taengah hnin rhet neh hnin rha hlai pataeng om mueh la Kaiserea la cet. A vuen ah ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih Paul hang khuen ham te ol a paek.
7 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,
Amah ha pawk vaengah Jerusalem lamkah aka suntla Judah rhoek loh anih te a pai thiluh. Te vaengah paelnaehnah a rhih la muep a nan thil te phoe thai uh pawh.
8 Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
Paul loh, “Judah rhoek kah olkhueng soah khaw, bawkim soah khaw, Kaisar soah khaw pakhat pataeng ka tholh moenih, “tila amah te huul uh.
9 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?
Tedae Phesto loh Judah rhoek te lungvatnah tueng sak a ngaih dongah Paul te a doo tih, “Jerusalem la n'cet vetih kamah loh hekah lai kawng neh lai ka tloek pahoi ham na ngaih a?” a ti nah.
10 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.
Te vaengah Paul loh, “Kaisar kah ngolkhoel hmaiah ka pai tih ka om phoeiah kai laitloek ham te melae a kuek bal pueng. Rhep na ming van bangla Judah rhoek te ka veet moenih.
11 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.
Te dongah ka thae tih dueknah neh a tiing la khat khat ni ka saii oeh atah duek ham khaw ka thaanah moenih. Tedae amih loh kai m'paelnaeh te a om pawt atah kai he amih kut ah n'tloeng thai mahpawh. Kaisar taengah khaw ka thui pueng ni,” a ti nah.
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Te phoeiah Phesto tah khoboei te a voek tih, “Kaisar taengah khaw thui, Kaisar taengah cet,” a ti nah.
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Khohnin voelh a poeng daengah manghai Agrippa neh Bernike tah Phesto te kuttuk hamla Kaiserea te ham pha rhoi.
14 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,
Te ah te khohnin a yet a om rhoi vaengah Phesto loh Paul te manghai taengah a phoe saloel tih, “Phelix loh a caehtak hlang pakhat thongtla om.
15 Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
Anih he dantatnah khueh thil ham khosoihham rhoek neh Judah patong rhoek loh ham bih uh te Jerusalem la ka om vaengah ka phoe puei coeng.
16 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.
Amih te, “Hlang pakhat tloeng tarha ham Roman khosing a om moenih. A paelnaeh loh aka paelnaehkung te maelhmai hmuh ham hmuen a om hlan atah, te daengah man dumlai kawng ah olthungnah a dang ve,” tila ka doo.
17 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.
Te dongah amih a tingtun uh neh uelhnah om pawh. A vuen ah laitloek ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih hlang te hang khuen ham ol ka paek.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Paelnaehkung rhoek loh pai uh tih paelnaehnah hang khuen uh te ka poek bangla a thae moenih.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Tedae a bawknah kawng neh oldawtnah dongah aka duek tangtae Jesuh te Paul loh hing sak ham a cai te ni anih taengkah ol la a khueh uh.
20 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.
Tekah olpungnah kawng he kai khaw ka ingang sut. Te dongah, 'Jerusalem la cet tih hekah a kawng he laitloek sak ham cai a?’ ka ti nah.
21 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.
Tedae Paul loh, 'Angrhaeng kah a hnayaak due khaw amah te ng'khoem mai dae,’ a ti. Te dongah Anih he Kaisar taengla ka tueih hlan atah anih te khoembael ham ni ol ka paek,” a ti nah.
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Te vaengah Agrippa loh Phesto taengah, “Amah khaw a ol hnatun ham ka ngaih,” a ti nah hatah, “Thangvuen ah na yaak bitni,” a ti nah.
23 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.
Te dongah a vuen atah Agrippa neh Bernike tah a songsang neh muep ha pawk rhoi tih rhalboeipa rhoek khaw, kho khuikah a cong a khang hlang rhoek te khaw impuei la kun uh. Te phoeiah Phesto te ol a paek tih Paul te a khue sak.
24 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.
Te phoeiah Phesto loh, “Agrippa manghai neh kaimih taengkah kut at catlim hlang rhoek boeih aw, anih he na hmuh uh coeng, anih kawng dongah Judah rhaengpuei boeih loh Jerusalem ah khaw, he ah khaw, kai taengah huithui uh tih, 'Anih he a hing ham a kuek voel moenih, ' tila pang uh.
25 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.
Tedae anih loh dueknah neh aka tiing la kho a boe pawt te ka hmuh. Amah long khaw angrhaeng te a phoei thil oeh dongah tueih ham ol ka tloek.
26 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.
Anih kawng he boeipa taengah pakhat khaw rhep daek ham ka khueh moenih. Te dongah anih he nangmih hmai neh olpuei la manghai Agrippa, namah hmaiah kam phoe puei. Te daengah ni boelhnah aka om te ka dueh vetih pakhat khaw ka daek eh.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Thongtla n'tueih tarha khaw kai tah khohmang rhaita lamni ka ngai, anih a paelnaeh uh thil te khaw phoe hae mahpawh,” a ti nah.
