< Acts 25 >
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
ཨནནྟརཾ ཕཱིཥྚོ ནིཛརཱཛྱམ྄ ཨཱགཏྱ དིནཏྲཡཱཏ྄ པརཾ ཀཻསརིཡཱཏོ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརམ྄ ཨཱགམཏ྄།
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
ཏདཱ མཧཱཡཱཛཀོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ པྲདྷཱནལོཀཱཤྩ ཏསྱ སམཀྵཾ པཽལམ྄ ཨཔཱཝདནྟ།
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
བྷཝཱན྄ ཏཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམམ྄ ཨཱནེཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏྭིཏི ཝིནཱིཡ ཏེ ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨནུགྲཧཾ ཝཱཉྪིཏཝནྟཿ།
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
ཡཏཿ པཐིམདྷྱེ གོཔནེན པཽལཾ ཧནྟུཾ ཏཻ རྒྷཱཏཀཱ ནིཡུཀྟཱཿ། ཕཱིཥྚ ཨུཏྟརཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ པཽལཿ ཀཻསརིཡཱཡཱཾ སྠཱསྱཏི པུནརལྤདིནཱཏ྄ པརམ྄ ཨཧཾ ཏཏྲ ཡཱསྱཱམི།
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
ཏཏསྟསྱ མཱནུཥསྱ ཡདི ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨཔརཱདྷསྟིཥྛཏི ཏརྷི ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཡེ ཤཀྣུཝནྟི ཏེ མཡཱ སཧ ཏཏྲ གཏྭཱ ཏམཔཝདནྟུ ས ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄།
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;
དཤདིཝསེབྷྱོ྅དྷིཀཾ ཝིལམྦྱ ཕཱིཥྚསྟསྨཱཏ྄ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརཾ གཏྭཱ པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ ཝིཙཱརཱསན ཨུཔདིཤྱ པཽལམ྄ ཨཱནེཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄།
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,
པཽལེ སམུཔསྠིཏེ སཏི ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརཱད྄ ཨཱགཏཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱསྟཾ ཙཏུརྡིཤི སཾཝེཥྚྱ ཏསྱ ཝིརུདྡྷཾ བཧཱུན྄ མཧཱདོཥཱན྄ ཨུཏྠཱཔིཏཝནྟཿ ཀིནྟུ ཏེཥཱཾ ཀིམཔི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུཾ ན ཤཀྣུཝནྟཿ།
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.”
ཏཏཿ པཽལཿ སྭསྨིན྄ ཨུཏྟརམིདམ྄ ཨུདིཏཝཱན྄, ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱ མནྡིརསྱ ཀཻསརསྱ ཝཱ པྲཏིཀཱུལཾ ཀིམཔི ཀརྨྨ ནཱཧཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
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?”
ཀིནྟུ ཕཱིཥྚོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱན྄ སནྟུཥྚཱན྄ ཀརྟྟུམ྄ ཨབྷིལཥན྄ པཽལམ྄ ཨབྷཱཥཏ ཏྭཾ ཀིཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ གཏྭཱསྨིན྄ ཨབྷིཡོགེ མམ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཝིཙཱརིཏོ བྷཝིཥྱསི?
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;
ཏཏཿ པཽལ ཨུཏྟརཾ པྲོཀྟཝཱན྄, ཡཏྲ མམ ཝིཙཱརོ བྷཝིཏུཾ ཡོགྱཿ ཀཻསརསྱ ཏཏྲ ཝིཙཱརཱསན ཨེཝ སམུཔསྠིཏོསྨི; ཨཧཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཀཱམཔི ཧཱནིཾ ནཱཀཱརྵམ྄ ཨིཏི བྷཝཱན྄ ཡཐཱརྠཏོ ཝིཛཱནཱཏི།
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!”
ཀཉྩིདཔརཱདྷཾ ཀིཉྩན ཝདྷཱརྷཾ ཀརྨྨ ཝཱ ཡདྱཧམ྄ ཨཀརིཥྱཾ ཏརྷི པྲཱཎཧནནདཎྜམཔི བྷོཀྟུམ྄ ཨུདྱཏོ྅བྷཝིཥྱཾ, ཀིནྟུ ཏེ མམ སམཔཝཱདཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟི ས ཡདི ཀལྤིཏམཱཏྲོ བྷཝཏི ཏརྷི ཏེཥཱཾ ཀརེཥུ མཱཾ སམརྤཡིཏུཾ ཀསྱཱཔྱདྷིཀཱརོ ནཱསྟི, ཀཻསརསྱ ནིཀཊེ མམ ཝིཙཱརོ བྷཝཏུ།
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
ཏདཱ ཕཱིཥྚོ མནྟྲིབྷིཿ སཱརྡྡྷཾ སཾམནྟྲྱ པཽལཱཡ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཀཻསརསྱ ནིཀཊེ ཀིཾ ཏཝ ཝིཙཱརོ བྷཝིཥྱཏི? ཀཻསརསྱ སམཱིཔཾ གམིཥྱསི།
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
ཀིཡདྡིནེབྷྱཿ པརམ྄ ཨཱགྲིཔྤརཱཛཱ བརྞཱིཀཱི ཙ ཕཱིཥྚཾ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཀརྟྟུཾ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརམ྄ ཨཱགཏཝནྟཽ།
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,
ཏདཱ ཏཽ བཧུདིནཱནི ཏཏྲ སྠིཏཽ ཏཏཿ ཕཱིཥྚསྟཾ རཱཛཱནཾ པཽལསྱ ཀཐཱཾ ཝིཛྙཱཔྱ ཀཐཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱརབྷཏ པཽལནཱམཱནམ྄ ཨེཀཾ བནྡི ཕཱིལིཀྵོ བདྡྷཾ སཾསྠཱཔྱ གཏཝཱན྄།
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
ཡིརཱུཤཱལམི མམ སྠིཏིཀཱལེ མཧཱཡཱཛཀོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ པྲཱཙཱིནལོཀཱཤྩ ཏམ྄ ཨཔོདྱ ཏམྤྲཏི དཎྜཱཛྙཱཾ པྲཱརྠཡནྟ།
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].
ཏཏོཧམ྄ ཨིཏྱུཏྟརམ྄ ཨཝདཾ ཡཱཝད྄ ཨཔོདིཏོ ཛནཿ སྭཱཔཝཱདཀཱན྄ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ སྭསྨིན྄ ཡོ྅པརཱདྷ ཨཱརོཔིཏསྟསྱ པྲཏྱུཏྟརཾ དཱཏུཾ སུཡོགཾ ན པྲཱཔྣོཏི, ཏཱཝཏྐཱལཾ ཀསྱཱཔི མཱནུཥསྱ པྲཱཎནཱཤཱཛྙཱཔནཾ རོམིལོཀཱནཱཾ རཱིཏི རྣཧི།
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,
ཏཏསྟེཥྭཏྲཱགཏེཥུ པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ྅ཧམ྄ ཨཝིལམྦཾ ཝིཙཱརཱསན ཨུཔཝིཤྱ ཏཾ མཱནུཥམ྄ ཨཱནེཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡམ྄།
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
ཏདནནྟརཾ ཏསྱཱཔཝཱདཀཱ ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ཡཱདྲྀཤམ྄ ཨཧཾ ཙིནྟིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཱདྲྀཤཾ ཀཉྩན མཧཱཔཝཱདཾ ནོཏྠཱཔྱ
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;
སྭེཥཱཾ མཏེ ཏཐཱ པཽལོ ཡཾ སཛཱིཝཾ ཝདཏི ཏསྨིན྄ ཡཱིཤུནཱམནི མྲྀཏཛནེ ཙ ཏསྱ ཝིརུདྡྷཾ ཀཐིཏཝནྟཿ།
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—
ཏཏོཧཾ ཏཱདྲྀགྭིཙཱརེ སཾཤཡཱནཿ སན྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏྭཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ གཏྭཱ ཀིཾ ཏཏྲ ཝིཙཱརིཏོ བྷཝིཏུམ྄ ཨིཙྪསི?
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.”
ཏདཱ པཽལོ མཧཱརཱཛསྱ ནིཀཊེ ཝིཙཱརིཏོ བྷཝིཏུཾ པྲཱརྠཡཏ, ཏསྨཱད྄ ཡཱཝཏྐཱལཾ ཏཾ ཀཻསརསྱ སམཱིཔཾ པྲེཥཡིཏུཾ ན ཤཀྣོམི ཏཱཝཏྐཱལཾ ཏམཏྲ སྠཱཔཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཱདིཥྚཝཱན྄།
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
ཏཏ ཨཱགྲིཔྤཿ ཕཱིཥྚམ྄ ཨུཀྟཝཱན྄, ཨཧམཔི ཏསྱ མཱནུཥསྱ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲོཏུམ྄ ཨབྷིལཥཱམི། ཏདཱ ཕཱིཥྚོ ཝྱཱཧརཏ྄ ཤྭསྟདཱིཡཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཏྭཾ ཤྲོཥྱསི།
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.
པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ ཨཱགྲིཔྤོ བརྞཱིཀཱི ཙ མཧཱསམཱགམཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ པྲདྷཱནཝཱཧིནཱིཔཏིབྷི རྣགརསྠཔྲདྷཱནལོཀཻཤྩ སཧ མིལིཏྭཱ རཱཛགྲྀཧམཱགཏྱ སམུཔསྠིཏཽ ཏདཱ ཕཱིཥྚསྱཱཛྙཡཱ པཽལ ཨཱནཱིཏོ྅བྷཝཏ྄།
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;
ཏདཱ ཕཱིཥྚཿ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཧེ རཱཛན྄ ཨཱགྲིཔྤ ཧེ ཨུཔསྠིཏཱཿ སཪྻྭེ ལོཀཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརེ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀསམཱུཧོ ཡསྨིན྄ མཱནུཥེ མམ སམཱིཔེ ནིཝེདནཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ པྲོཙྩཻཿ ཀཐཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ པུནརལྤཀཱལམཔི ཏསྱ ཛཱིཝནཾ ནོཙིཏཾ ཏམེཏཾ མཱནུཥཾ པཤྱཏ།
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,
ཀིནྟྭེཥ ཛནཿ པྲཱཎནཱཤརྷཾ ཀིམཔི ཀརྨྨ ན ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄ ཨིཏྱཛཱནཱཾ ཏཐཱཔི ས མཧཱརཱཛསྱ སནྣིདྷཽ ཝིཙཱརིཏོ བྷཝིཏུཾ པྲཱརྠཡཏ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔཾ ཏཾ པྲེཥཡིཏུཾ མཏིམཀརཝམ྄།
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;
ཀིནྟུ ཤྲཱིཡུཀྟསྱ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨེཏསྨིན྄ ཀིཾ ལེཁནཱིཡམ྄ ཨིཏྱསྱ ཀསྱཙིན྄ ནིརྞཡསྱ ན ཛཱཏཏྭཱད྄ ཨེཏསྱ ཝིཙཱརེ སཏི ཡཐཱཧཾ ལེཁིཏུཾ ཀིཉྩན ནིཤྩིཏཾ པྲཱཔྣོམི ཏདརྠཾ ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སམཀྵཾ ཝིཤེཥཏོ ཧེ ཨཱགྲིཔྤརཱཛ བྷཝཏཿ སམཀྵམ྄ ཨེཏམ྄ ཨཱནཡེ།
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
