< Acts 25 >

1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
اَنَنْتَرَں پھِیشْٹو نِجَراجْیَمْ آگَتْیَ دِنَتْرَیاتْ پَرَں کَیسَرِیاتو یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرَمْ آگَمَتْ۔
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews disclosed to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
تَدا مَہایاجَکو یِہُودِییاناں پْرَدھانَلوکاشْچَ تَسْیَ سَمَکْشَں پَولَمْ اَپاوَدَنْتَ۔
3 asking favor against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
بھَوانْ تَں یِرُوشالَمَمْ آنیتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْوِتِ وِنِییَ تے تَسْمادْ اَنُگْرَہَں وانْچھِتَوَنْتَح۔
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and is himself about to go forth speedily,
یَتَح پَتھِمَدھْیے گوپَنینَ پَولَں ہَنْتُں تَے رْگھاتَکا نِیُکْتاح۔ پھِیشْٹَ اُتَّرَں دَتَّوانْ پَولَح کَیسَرِیایاں سْتھاسْیَتِ پُنَرَلْپَدِناتْ پَرَمْ اَہَں تَتْرَ یاسْیامِ۔
5 “Therefore those able among you,” he says, “having come down together, if there be anything in this man—let them accuse him”;
تَتَسْتَسْیَ مانُشَسْیَ یَدِ کَشْچِدْ اَپَرادھَسْتِشْٹھَتِ تَرْہِ یُشْماکَں یے شَکْنُوَنْتِ تے مَیا سَہَ تَتْرَ گَتْوا تَمَپَوَدَنْتُ سَ ایتاں کَتھاں کَتھِتَوانْ۔
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;
دَشَدِوَسیبھْیودھِکَں وِلَمْبْیَ پھِیشْٹَسْتَسْماتْ کَیسَرِیانَگَرَں گَتْوا پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے وِچاراسَنَ اُپَدِشْیَ پَولَمْ آنیتُمْ آجْناپَیَتْ۔
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,
پَولے سَمُپَسْتھِتے سَتِ یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرادْ آگَتا یِہُودِییَلوکاسْتَں چَتُرْدِشِ سَںویشْٹْیَ تَسْیَ وِرُدّھَں بَہُونْ مَہادوشانْ اُتّھاپِتَوَنْتَح کِنْتُ تیشاں کِمَپِ پْرَمانَں داتُں نَ شَکْنُوَنْتَح۔
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.”
تَتَح پَولَح سْوَسْمِنْ اُتَّرَمِدَمْ اُدِتَوانْ، یِہُودِییاناں وْیَوَسْتھایا مَنْدِرَسْیَ کَیسَرَسْیَ وا پْرَتِکُولَں کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ ناہَں کرِتَوانْ۔
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?”
کِنْتُ پھِیشْٹو یِہُودِییانْ سَنْتُشْٹانْ کَرْتُّمْ اَبھِلَشَنْ پَولَمْ اَبھاشَتَ تْوَں کِں یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْواسْمِنْ اَبھِیوگے مَمَ ساکْشادْ وِچارِتو بھَوِشْیَسِ؟
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;
تَتَح پَولَ اُتَّرَں پْروکْتَوانْ، یَتْرَ مَمَ وِچارو بھَوِتُں یوگْیَح کَیسَرَسْیَ تَتْرَ وِچاراسَنَ ایوَ سَمُپَسْتھِتوسْمِ؛ اَہَں یِہُودِییاناں کامَپِ ہانِں ناکارْشَمْ اِتِ بھَوانْ یَتھارْتھَتو وِجاناتِ۔
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!”
کَنْچِدَپَرادھَں کِنْچَنَ وَدھارْہَں کَرْمَّ وا یَدْیَہَمْ اَکَرِشْیَں تَرْہِ پْرانَہَنَنَدَنْڈَمَپِ بھوکْتُمْ اُدْیَتوبھَوِشْیَں، کِنْتُ تے مَمَ سَمَپَوادَں کُرْوَّنْتِ سَ یَدِ کَلْپِتَماتْرو بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ تیشاں کَریشُ ماں سَمَرْپَیِتُں کَسْیاپْیَدھِکارو ناسْتِ، کَیسَرَسْیَ نِکَٹے مَمَ وِچارو بھَوَتُ۔
12 Then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, “To Caesar you have appealed; to Caesar you will go.”
تَدا پھِیشْٹو مَنْتْرِبھِح سارْدّھَں سَںمَنْتْرْیَ پَولایَ کَتھِتَوانْ، کَیسَرَسْیَ نِکَٹے کِں تَوَ وِچارو بھَوِشْیَتِ؟ کَیسَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَں گَمِشْیَسِ۔
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea greeting Festus,
کِیَدِّنیبھْیَح پَرَمْ آگْرِپَّراجا بَرْنِیکِی چَ پھِیشْٹَں ساکْشاتْ کَرْتُّں کَیسَرِیانَگَرَمْ آگَتَوَنْتَو۔
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,
تَدا تَو بَہُدِنانِ تَتْرَ سْتھِتَو تَتَح پھِیشْٹَسْتَں راجانَں پَولَسْیَ کَتھاں وِجْناپْیَ کَتھَیِتُمْ آرَبھَتَ پَولَنامانَمْ ایکَں بَنْدِ پھِیلِکْشو بَدّھَں سَںسْتھاپْیَ گَتَوانْ۔
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
یِرُوشالَمِ مَمَ سْتھِتِکالے مَہایاجَکو یِہُودِییاناں پْراچِینَلوکاشْچَ تَمْ اَپودْیَ تَمْپْرَتِ دَنْڈاجْناں پْرارْتھَیَنْتَ۔
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].
تَتوہَمْ اِتْیُتَّرَمْ اَوَدَں یاوَدْ اَپودِتو جَنَح سْواپَوادَکانْ ساکْشاتْ کرِتْوا سْوَسْمِنْ یوپَرادھَ آروپِتَسْتَسْیَ پْرَتْیُتَّرَں داتُں سُیوگَں نَ پْراپْنوتِ، تاوَتْکالَں کَسْیاپِ مانُشَسْیَ پْرانَناشاجْناپَنَں رومِلوکاناں رِیتِ رْنَہِ۔
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,
تَتَسْتیشْوَتْراگَتیشُ پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسےہَمْ اَوِلَمْبَں وِچاراسَنَ اُپَوِشْیَ تَں مانُشَمْ آنیتُمْ آجْناپَیَمْ۔
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
تَدَنَنْتَرَں تَسْیاپَوادَکا اُپَسْتھایَ یادرِشَمْ اَہَں چِنْتِتَوانْ تادرِشَں کَنْچَنَ مَہاپَوادَں نوتّھاپْیَ
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;
سْویشاں مَتے تَتھا پَولو یَں سَجِیوَں وَدَتِ تَسْمِنْ یِیشُنامَنِ مرِتَجَنے چَ تَسْیَ وِرُدّھَں کَتھِتَوَنْتَح۔
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—
تَتوہَں تادرِگْوِچارے سَںشَیانَح سَنْ کَتھِتَوانْ تْوَں یِرُوشالَمَں گَتْوا کِں تَتْرَ وِچارِتو بھَوِتُمْ اِچّھَسِ؟
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.”
تَدا پَولو مَہاراجَسْیَ نِکَٹے وِچارِتو بھَوِتُں پْرارْتھَیَتَ، تَسْمادْ یاوَتْکالَں تَں کَیسَرَسْیَ سَمِیپَں پْریشَیِتُں نَ شَکْنومِ تاوَتْکالَں تَمَتْرَ سْتھاپَیِتُمْ آدِشْٹَوانْ۔
22 And Agrippa said to Festus, “I was also intending to hear the man myself”; and he said, “Tomorrow you will hear him”;
تَتَ آگْرِپَّح پھِیشْٹَمْ اُکْتَوانْ، اَہَمَپِ تَسْیَ مانُشَسْیَ کَتھاں شْروتُمْ اَبھِلَشامِ۔ تَدا پھِیشْٹو وْیاہَرَتْ شْوَسْتَدِییاں کَتھاں تْوَں شْروشْیَسِ۔
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.
پَرَسْمِنْ دِوَسے آگْرِپّو بَرْنِیکِی چَ مَہاسَماگَمَں کرِتْوا پْرَدھانَواہِنِیپَتِبھِ رْنَگَرَسْتھَپْرَدھانَلوکَیشْچَ سَہَ مِلِتْوا راجَگرِہَماگَتْیَ سَمُپَسْتھِتَو تَدا پھِیشْٹَسْیاجْنَیا پَولَ آنِیتوبھَوَتْ۔
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;
تَدا پھِیشْٹَح کَتھِتَوانْ ہے راجَنْ آگْرِپَّ ہے اُپَسْتھِتاح سَرْوّے لوکا یِرُوشالَمْنَگَرے یِہُودِییَلوکَسَمُوہو یَسْمِنْ مانُشے مَمَ سَمِیپے نِویدَنَں کرِتْوا پْروچَّیح کَتھامِماں کَتھِتَوانْ پُنَرَلْپَکالَمَپِ تَسْیَ جِیوَنَں نوچِتَں تَمیتَں مانُشَں پَشْیَتَ۔
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,
کِنْتْویشَ جَنَح پْرانَناشَرْہَں کِمَپِ کَرْمَّ نَ کرِتَوانْ اِتْیَجاناں تَتھاپِ سَ مَہاراجَسْیَ سَنِّدھَو وِچارِتو بھَوِتُں پْرارْتھَیَتَ تَسْماتْ تَسْیَ سَمِیپَں تَں پْریشَیِتُں مَتِمَکَرَوَمْ۔
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;
کِنْتُ شْرِییُکْتَسْیَ سَمِیپَمْ ایتَسْمِنْ کِں لیکھَنِییَمْ اِتْیَسْیَ کَسْیَچِنْ نِرْنَیَسْیَ نَ جاتَتْوادْ ایتَسْیَ وِچارے سَتِ یَتھاہَں لیکھِتُں کِنْچَنَ نِشْچِتَں پْراپْنومِ تَدَرْتھَں یُشْماکَں سَمَکْشَں وِشیشَتو ہے آگْرِپَّراجَ بھَوَتَح سَمَکْشَمْ ایتَمْ آنَیے۔
27 for it seems to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not to also signify the charges against him.”
یَتو بَنْدِپْریشَنَسَمَیے تَسْیابھِیوگَسْیَ کِنْچِدَلیکھَنَمْ اَہَمْ اَیُکْتَں جانامِ۔
