Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.
Festusi ń pundi diema nni, lan tieni dana taa, wan ńa Cesare, ki gedi Jerusalema.
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
juufi salga yidciamo yeni bi yikodanba ń cua o kani ki waani o ke bi pia mi maama yeni Pɔli, ki bua ban jia ti buudi yeni o. ki mɔndi ki niidi Festusi ke wan cengi bi maama.
3 And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
Bi den mia o u sanu ke wan tuo ban janbi Pɔli; ke wan cedi ban taa o ki gedi yeni o Jerusalema, yeni bi ba fidi ki kpa o u sanu po.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
Ama Festusi den ŋmiani ba ke Pɔli tie kpaadli i ki ye Sesare kpaadidieli nni, ke wani mɔko ba gani lipo.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
Ke lanwani ii, yaaba n bua ba fidi ki ŋɔdi o ban gedi lipo. Ke li ya tie ke bi pia jalgi bá Pɔli po, bi ba fidi ki waani o tagli.
6 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
Festusi ki tieni likani ke li pendi dana niin bii piiga, ki fii ki jiidi kigedi Sesare, wan pundi ke li fandi, ke o kali ti buudi diegu nni, ki cedi ke bi taa Pɔli ki cua yeni o
7 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
Pɔli ń pundi, Jerusalema Juufinba yaaba n ye likani ń jalgi o boncianla, ki waani wan pia yatagli ama ke kasiedi naa ye.
8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar, have I offended any thing at all.
Pɔli ń maadi ki fie o yuli ki yedi, “N naa tieni yaali n bia Juufinba yiko po, bii ku jaandiegu po lanyaaka Sesari po.”
9 But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Ama Festusi den bua wan mangi Juufinba pali, ki buali Pɔli, “A ba fidi ki do ki gedi Jerusalema ban buu a maama ne lipo n nintuali?”
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Pɔli ń yedi, “N ye o badciamo Sesari buudieli kani, ki guu ke ban buu nni lankani i. Mii pia tagli bakuli Juufinba po nani fini aba ń bani maama bonŋanla.
11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
Ama li ya tie ke n tudi, bá ki tieni yaali ke li buali n kuuma, N naa jie min kpe. Ama ban jalgi nni yaali ya po ya ki tuagi sanu, nilo bakuli kan taa nni ki mubni bi nuu nni. N suagi n buudi Sesari po i.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
Festusi den kali ki juogi yeni o juogikaaba li maama po, ki jiini Pɔli, ki yedi, “A yedi ke a suagi a buudi Sesari kani, bi ba buu a lankani i!”
13 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cæsarea to salute Festus.
Lan tieni dana waamu, ke o bado Agripa yeni Berenisi cua Sesare ki bua cani Festusi.
14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
Ban tieni dana waamu, ke Festusi taa Pɔli maama ki waani o bado, ki maadi, “Feliksi den cedi ke bi taa niloba ki cua yeni o ne ke o tie kpaadli.
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
Min den gedi Jerusalema, Juufinba salga yidkaaba yeni bi cancannikpelba den jalgi li nilo boncianla, ki mia ke ban buu ki cuo o, ki kpa o
16 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
Ke n mo jiini ba ke laa puni sanu ke Roma yaaba ń taa nilo ki mubni o o yibala nui nni ke baa buni o ki puni o u sanu ke o ba maadi ki fie o yuli ti buudi kani.
17 Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
Ama ban taani ki cua ne, mii guudi dana, li fiifandi ke n cedi ke bi taa o ki cua yeni o ti buudi kaanu.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
Ban den fii ki jalgi o, ki waani wan pia ya tagli kuli, maamɔnma bakuli naa den ye.
19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Ban nia ya maama po tie bi jaandi sanu maama i, yeni niloba ke bi yii o Jesu, ke o den kpe, ama ke Pɔli wani nan yedi ke o fo.
20 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
Mii den bani min ba kpaagi lanya maama maama, ke n buali o o ya ba tuo ki gedi Jerusalema ban buu o maama lanpo.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cæsar.
Ama Pɔli ń den yedi ke o baa ye li kpaadidieli nni, ke o suagi o maama o badciamo Sesari buudi kaanu, n den yedi o ke wan ya ye likani ki guu hali min ba taa o ki sɔni o Sesari kani.
22 Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Agripa den yedi Festusi, “N moko bua min cengi li nilo maama.” Festusi ń jiini o “cedi saala” “Aba cengi o maama.”
23 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
Lanwani ii, lan fandi, Agripa yeni Berenisi den bobi bi tiakpiagdi ki cua ti buudi kaanu yeni sejenba yeni u dogu yikodanba. Festusi den cedi ke bi taa Pɔli ki cua yeni o bikani.
24 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Festusi den yedi, “O Bado Agripa yeni yinba ya nikpiaga n ye yeni ti ne, I la ya nilo ne ee; Jerusalema Juufinba yeni nekanba yaaba la nni ki yigni ki tua ke waa dagdi wan go ya pia miali.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
N diidi ki sua ke waa tieni yaali n dagdi yeni mi kuuma; ama wani mɔno ń suagi o maama O Badciamo kani yeni, n ba taa o ki mubni o o badciamo nui nni.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
Ama mii bani min ba diani yaali cima li tisɔnkaali nni, ki teni o badciamo, lani n cedi ke n cedi ke bi cua yeni o i kani o bado Agripa, ke ŋan todi nni min fidi ki diani yaali n tiegi li maama po
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
Kelima laa tuagi sanu ke min sɔni kpaadli kaa diani ki waani ban jalgi o ya maama po fuuli.
