Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị site nʼoge Festọs bịara na mpaghara ọchịchị ya, o sitere Sizaria garuo Jerusalem.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Nʼebe ahụ ka ndịisi nchụaja na ndịisi ndị Juu kọwara ya ihe banyere Pọl.
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
Ha rịọkwara ya nʼamara ọ ga-emere ha bụ ime ka Pọl bịa na Jerusalem. Nʼihi na ha agbaala izu igbu ya nʼụzọ.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Ma Festọs zara, “Pọl nọ dịka onye mkpọrọ na Sizaria. Ebe ahụ ka mụ onwe m ga-alaghachi na mgbe na-adịghị anya.
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.
Ya mere, ka ndịisi unu ji ikike soro m gaa, boo nwoke ahụ ebubo ma ọ bụrụ na o nwere ihe ọjọọ o mere.”
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.
Ọ nọnyeere ha ihe dịka ụbọchị asatọ maọbụ ụbọchị iri, tupu ọ laghachi na Sizaria. Nʼụbọchị so ya, ọ nọdụrụ nʼoche ikpe, nye ikike ka a kpọpụta Pọl.
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,
Mgbe ọ bịaruru, ndị Juu sitere Jerusalem bịa gbara ya gburugburu na-ekwu ọtụtụ ihe megide ya nke ha na-enweghị ike ịkọwa.
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.
Ma Pọl gọọrọ onwe ya, na-asị, “Ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere megide iwu ndị Juu maọbụ ụlọnsọ, maọbụ Siza.”
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?
Ma ebe Festọs na-achọ inwe ihuọma nʼebe ndị Juu nọ, ọ sịrị Pọl, “Ị chọrọ ịga Jerusalem ka m kpee gị ikpe nʼebe ahụ?”
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.
Ma Pọl sịrị, “Eguzo m nʼụlọikpe Siza nʼonwe ya, ebe e kwesiri ka a nọdụ kpee m ikpe. Ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere ndị Juu, dịka ị maara nke ọma.
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.
Ọ bụrụ na ọ dị ihe m mere kwesiri ọnwụ, anaghị m arịọ ka m gbanarị ọnwụ. Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ dịghị eziokwu dị nʼebubo ndị Juu a na-ebo m, mmadụ ọbụla agaghị e were m nyefee nʼaka ha. Ya mere, ọ bụ Siza ka m na-akpọku.”
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Ya mere, mgbe Festọs na ndị na-adụ ya ọdụ gbara izu, ọ zara, “Ị kpọkuola Siza, ọ bụkwa Siza ka ị ga-agakwuru.”
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gasịrị, eze Agripa na Benaisi bịara Sizaria ịnabata Festọs.
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,
Mgbe ha nọrọ ọtụtụ ụbọchị nʼebe ahụ, Festọs kọwara eze a ọnọdụ Pọl sị, “Ọ dị nwoke Feliks hapụrụ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nʼebe a.
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.
Mgbe m gara Jerusalem, ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye ndị Juu gwara m banyere ya. Ha rịọkwara ka m maa ya ikpe.
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.
“Ma emere m ka ha ghọta na o megidere iwu ndị Rom ịrara mmadụ ọbụla nye tupu ekpee ya ikpe nyekwa ya ohere ịgọrọ onwe ya nʼihu ndị na-ebo ya ebubo.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, mgbe ha bịara nʼebe a, atụfughị m oge ọbụla, kama nʼụbọchị nke ọzọ ya, anọdụrụ m nʼoche ikpe, nye ikike ka a kpọbata nwoke ahụ.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Mgbe ndị na-ebo ya ebubo biliri, ọ dịghị otu nʼime ụrụ ala ndị m chere ha ga-akpọ aha nke ha gụpụtara na o mere.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Okwu ha niile bụ ịrụ ụka banyere okpukpe ha, na banyere otu onye ọzọ a na-akpọ Jisọs onye nwụrụ, onye Pọl na-ekwusịkwa ike na ọ dị ndụ.
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.
Ọ rara m ahụ imedo okwu dị otu a. Nʼihi ya, a jụrụ m ya ma ọ ga-amasị ya ị ga nʼụlọikpe dị na Jerusalem ka ọ nọrọ nʼebe ahụ gọrọ onwe ya.
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.
Ma Pọl rịọrọ ka e debe ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ruo mgbe Siza nʼonwe ya ga-ekpebi ikpe ya. Ya mere, ezighachiri m ya nʼụlọ mkpọrọ tutu ruo mgbe m jikeere izigara ya Siza.”
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Agripa gwara Festọs, “Achọrọ m ịnụ okwu site nʼọnụ nwoke a nʼonwe ya.” Ọ sịrị, “Ị ga-anụ ya echi.”
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.
Ya mere, nʼechi ya, Agripa na Benaisi rutere nʼụlọ ọha na-anọ anụ ikpe nʼoke nganga. Ọtụtụ ndịisi agha na ndị a maara aha ha nʼobodo a sooro ha. Festọs nyere iwu ka a kpọbata Pọl.
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.
Festọs sịrị, “Eze Agripa na ndị niile soro anyị nọrọ nʼebe a, unu ahụla nwoke a onye ọha ndị Juu niile, ma ndị nọ nʼebe a ma ndị nọ na Jerusalem, wetara ikpe ya nʼaka m na-eti mkpu na o kwesighị ịdị ndụ ọzọ.
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.
Ma achọpụtaghị m ihe ọjọọ o mere nke kwesiri ka ọ nwụọ. Ma ebe ọ rịọrọ ka Siza lenye ikpe ya anya, ekpebiri m iziga ya.
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.
Ma enweghị m ihe ọbụla doro anya m ga-edegara Siza banyere ya. Ya mere m jiri kpọpụta ya nʼihu unu niile, ma karịsịa nʼihu gị onwe gị eze Agripa, ka ọ ga-abụ anyị tulesịa ihe banyere ya, ka m nwee ihe m ga-ede.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe na-ezighị ezi na m ga-ezipụ onye mkpọrọ na-egosighị nʼebubo e boro ya.”
