Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Fisxxossay ba ayssiza dere Qissariya gellidi hedzdzu gallas aqqetidi heppe Yerusalame bides.
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
Hen diza qeessata hallaqatine issi issi Ayhudista garssafe gita gita asati Phawulossa bolla ba mooto shishshida; “Phawulossa ha Yerusalame ehidi nus loo7o ooso oththarkki” giidi wossida; istti hessa giday Phawulossa naagidi oge bolla wodhdhanas kooyda gishaskko.
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
Gido attin Fisxxossay “Phawulossay Qissariyan qachcho keeththan naggetes; takka ha7i elle simmada he izakko baana.
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
Inte garssafe dannateth dizaytti tanara Qissariya beeto; Phawulossay oththida qohoy diza gidikko hen mooteto” gides.
6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought;
Fisxxossay osppun woykko tammu gaallassafe daroontta wode isttara gamm7idi guye Qissariya bides; He gakkida mala wonttetha gallas pirda wombbora bolla uttidi Phawulossa izakko shishshana mala azazides.
7 and he having come, there stood around the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem—many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
Phawulossay iza sinthth shiiqin Yerussalamepe yida Ayhudati Phawulossa giddothidi markkay bayndda daroo deexxo mooto iza bolla shishshida.
8 he making defense, [said, ] “Neither in regard to the Law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar—did I commit any sin.”
Phawulossaykka “Tani Ayhuda woga bolla gidin Xoossa keeththa bolla woykko Rome kawoo Qessare bollaka gaaththida qoohoy deena” giidi istta mootoza shaariza mallththe isttas immides.
9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favor, answering Paul, said, “Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged before me there concerning these things?”
Gido attin Fisxxossay Ayhudata uhaaththaayssanas koyidi Phawulossa “Ne Yerusalame baada hayssa yooza hen ta sinththan pirdistana koyazii?” gides.
10 And Paul said, “At the judgment seat of Caesar I am standing, where it is necessary for me to be judged; I did no unrighteousness to Jews, as you also very well know;
Phawulossay qasse hizzgidi izas zaarides “Hekko ta pirdistanas tas bessiza Qessare pirda wombbara sinththan eqqadis; nekka loo7etha erriza mala ta Ayhudata bolla ooththida aykko qoohoy deena.
11 for if I am indeed unrighteous, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favor of me to them; I appeal to Caesar!”
Ta qoohida gidikko woykko tana hayqqos gaaththiza qooho ta ooththida gidikko ta hayqoppe attana giike; Gido attin istti shishshiza mootoy mela hada gidiko oonikka tana isttas aththi immanas dandda7ena; Takka ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqana mala yigibaayne gadis.”
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
Hessa wode Fisxxossay bena zoorizayitara hasa7etidi “ne Qeessareko yigibaayne giza gidiko Qeessareko baanddassa” gides.
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
Guuththa gaallassatape guye kawoo Agirphphayne Barniqey Fisxxossa “Hashshu loo7on yadassa” gi mokkanas gede Qissariya bida.
14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, “There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
Istti hen daroo galas uttida gish Fisxxossay Phawulossa yooza kawoo Agirphphas hizzgi yootides “Filkisey qaachcho kethan yegi agiida issadey haan dees.
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
Ta Yerusalamen bida wode qeessista hallaqatinne Ayhudata ciimmati ha addeza yoo taako ehidi ta iza bolla pirdana mala oychchida.
16 to whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favor of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defense in regard to the charge laid against [him].
Ta qasse mootetidadey mootizayta sinththan eqqidi bena mootiza yoozas beessiza malththe immontta dishin mootetidade aththi immooy Rome kawootethas woga gidena” gaada zaaradis.
17 They, therefore, having come together—I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat on the judgment seat, commanded the man to be brought,
Hessa gish iza mootizayti shiiqetidi yida mala herakka wonttetha gallas pirda wombboran uttada Phawulossa ta sinthth shishshana mala azazadis.
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
Iza mootizayti iza achchan eqqida wode istti iza bolla shishshida mootoy ta baggara izi iitta oothontta agena gaada qopida mala gidibeyna.
19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
Gido attin istti izara mootetizay ba ammano gishshine Phawulossay issi hayqqidade (Paxa dees) giza Yesussa gish gidides.
20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, asked if he was willing to go on to Jerusalem, and to be judged there concerning these things—
Takka hessa mala yoo qora xeellanas tana metida gish Phawulossa (Ne Yerusalame baada heyssa yooza hen pirdistana koyyaz?) gadis.
21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.”
Hizzgin izi qasse yoozi Rome kawoo sinththan beyistana mala koyidi (ta yooy Qeessare sinthth shiiqana mala oychchayss) gida gish iza yoo Qeessarekko ta yeeddana gakkanaas izi qachcho keeththan gamm77ana mala azazadis.”
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
Agirphphay Fisxxossa “Takka izi giza siyana koyayss” gides; Fisxxossaykka “Wontto siyanddassa” gides.
23 on the next day, therefore—on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered—Paul was brought forth.
Hessa gish wonttetha gallas Agirphphayne Barniqey kawooti mayiza mayo maydine daro bonchora ola asa halaqatarane he kaataman diza giita asatan azhabbeti yiidi pirda keeth gellida. Hessafe guye Fisxxossay Phawulossa xeeyigisides.
24 And Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, you see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
Fisxosay hizzgides “Kawoo Agirphpha! qass nunara diza asato; Ayhuda asati wuri (hayssi addezi hayssafe guye paxxa daana beessena) giidi wassishe Yerussalamenkka haanikka iza bolla pirdistana mala istti tana oychchizay hayssa inte beeyiza addeza gishshaskko.
25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
Ta ta boggara iza hayqqos gaaththiza issi balakka iza bolla demmabeyikke. Izi ta yooy Rome kawoo sinthth shiiqi beeyeto gida gish ta iza he yeeddanas qachchadis.
26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, for what reason I brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
Gido attin iza gish ta ta godas xaahaaththaana giza errettida yoy deena; Hessa gish iza issi issi pacce oychchota oychchiko tas xaahaaththaanaysi daanakkone gaada inteko; harapekka kawoo Agirphpha neekko shishshadis.
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
Gasooykka qachcho assi puude bollattiza dhoqqa dannakko bishin izi mootetiza yo qonccisontta aggoy asa eyya kessizayssi tas bettides.”
