Acts 25
1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Ie fa telo andro te niavy amy faritsey t’i Festosy, le nionjoñe hirik’e Kaisaria mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo,
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
naho naneseke i Paoly ty talèm-pisoroñe naho ty bei’ o Jiosio, nanigike aze
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
hañisoke iareo ty ama’e, hañitrifa’e mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo, (ie ho vandroñe’ iareo an-dalañe ey hamono aze).
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i Festosy: Hambenañe e Kaisaria añe avao t’i Paoly, fa hionjom-beo aniany ka iraho.
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.
Aa le ampindrezo amako ze mete ama’ areo hizotso mb’eo, hanisy indatiy naho toe aman-kakeo.
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.
Nitambatse am’iereo re tsy ampe folo ndra valo andro, le nizotso mb’e Kaisaria mb’eo; ie loakandro le niambesatse amy fiambesam-pizakañey, vaho linili’e te hasese t’i Paoly.
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,
Ie tsatoke t’i Paoly le niarikoboña’ o Jiosy nizotso boak’e Ierosalemeo, naho maro naho raty ty sisý nanoe’e, fe tsy nahaventeañe.
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.
Le hoe ty niveroha’ i Paoly: Tsy aman-tahin-dra raike iraho ke amy Hake tana’ o Tehodaoy he amy anjomban’ Añaharey, he amy Kaisara.
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?
Aa ie te hañosikosike o Tehodao t’i Festosy, le hoe re amy Paoly: Mete’o hao ty hionjoñe mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hiatre-jaka amy sisý rezay?
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.
Hoe ty natoi’ i Paoly: Aolom-piambesam-pizakà’ i Kaisara ty ijohañako, izay o mañeva ahy ho zakaeñeo. Tsy anaña’ o Tehodao hakeo, toe fohi’o.
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.
Aa naho mpandilatse iraho, hera nanao ze mañeva hahafate ahy, le tsy liereko ty hikenkañe. F’ie tsy aman-katò’ o anisìa’ ondaty reo ahio, le tsy eo ty mahafanese ahy am’iereo. I Kaisara ro ikoihako!
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Ie nisafiry amo vavea’eo t’i Festosy, le hoe ty asa’e: Kanao nikaihe’o t’i Kaisara. Le i Kaisara ty handenà’o!
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Ie modo ty andro tsy ampeampe, le niheo mb’e Kaisaria mb’eo t’i Agripa Mpanjaka naho i Berenikae vali’e hifañontane amy Festosy.
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,
Aa ie nitambatse ao andro maro, le nitaròñe’ i Festosy amy mpanjakay i Paoly. Hoe re: Ao t’indaty napo’ i Feliksa an-drohy.
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.
Aa izaho te Ierosaleme añe, le ninday sisý o mpisorom-beio naho o bein-Tehodao, nipay ahy hañozoñ’ aze.
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.
Tinoiko am’iereo te tsy sata’ o nte-Romao ty haneseke ondaty aolo’ te nifañatrek’ amo mpanisý azeo i tinombokey, amy t’ie aman-jo hiveroke amo anisìañe azeo.
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.
Aa ie nimb’ etoañe le tsy nandiñe iraho fa nitobok’ amy fiambesam-pizakàñey amy loak’ àndroy vaho liniliko te hampiatrefeñe etoañe indatiy.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Ie niongake hiatrefa’ o mpanisìo, le tsy o sata raty nataoko ho nanisiañ’ azeo,
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
fa toe fifandierañe amo fitalahoa’ iareoo naho indaty nihomak’ atao Iesoà volañe’ i Paoly te veloñey.
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.
Aa ie nataoko te tsy hahafisafiry izay; le nañontaneako ke t’ie mete hañavelo mb’e Ierosaleme mb’eo hiatre-jaka amy sisý zay.
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.
Fe ami’ty nihalalia’ i Paoly te handiñy ty fijanjiña’ i Kaisara, le liniliko t’ie ho tànañe ampara’ te haseseko mb’ amy Kaisara añe.
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Aa le hoe t’i Agripa amy Festosy: Te hahatsanoñe indatiy ka iraho. Tinoi’e ty hoe: Ho janjiñe’o hamaray.
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.
Ie loak’ andro, avy eo t’i Agripa naho i Berenikae am-bolonahetse abo, le nizilik’ añ’anjombam-pizakàñe ao mindre amo mpifeheo naho am’ondaty bei’ i rovaio, vaho nasese mb’eo t’i Paoly ami’ty lili’ i Festosy.
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.
Hoe t’i Festosy: Ry Agripa mpanjaka naho ry roandriañe mindre mivory etoañ’ iabio, hehe ondatio! i nampiatrefa’ ty valobohò’ o Jiosy e Ierosaleme añe naho e Kaisaria etoañeo amako, i nikoraheñe te tsy mañeva ho veloñey.
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.
Ty nitreako, le t’ie tsy nanao inoñ’ inoñe hañeva aze havetrake, fe amy t’e nipay zaka amy Kaisara re, le sinafiriko t’ie hasese mb’e Roma añe.
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.
Fe tsy amam-bente’e ama’e iraho hanokirako amy talèkoy. Aa le izay ty naneseako aze añatrefa’ areo etoañe, somandrak’ aolo’o etoa ry Agripa mpanjaka, soa te, ie tampetse ty fañotsohotsoañe toy le hanan-ko sokireko,
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
fe ataoko ho tsy fañeva’e ty aneseañe ty mpirohy naho tsy talilieñe hey ty anesehañe aze.
