Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Ikꞌowinaq chi oxibꞌ qij are xopan ri achi Festo chukꞌamik ri reqeleꞌn relik bꞌik pa ri tinimit Cesarea xopan pa ri tinimit Jerusalén.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Ri kinimaꞌqil taq ri chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri tinimit xuqujeꞌ ri achyabꞌ ri qas kabꞌan ke pa kiwiꞌ taq ri winaq aꞌj Israel xoꞌpan rukꞌ ri qꞌatal tzij chutzujuxik ri Pablo.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
Xkita jun toqꞌobꞌ che ri Festo kutaq bꞌik ri Pablo je laꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, (kichomam kakiqꞌatej pa ri bꞌe kakikamisaj).
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Ri Festo kꞌut xubꞌij chi ri Pablo kꞌo pa ri tinimit Cesarea xuqujeꞌ chi katzalij areꞌ je laꞌ.
5 "Let them therefore," he said, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."
Xubꞌij kꞌu chike: Ri kꞌo keqeleꞌn chiꞌwe utz kixeꞌ wukꞌ. We kꞌo itzel jastaq ubꞌanom ri Pablo utz kꞌut kitzujuj.
6 When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Wine wajxaqibꞌ o lajuj qꞌij ikꞌowinaq are xtzalij ri Festo pa Cesarea, chukabꞌ qꞌij xtzalij pa ri ja qꞌatbꞌal tzij xuqujeꞌ xtaqan chukꞌamik ri Pablo.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Are xopan ri Pablo, ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Jerusalén, xkimulij kibꞌ chrij, xkitzujuj che taq mak ri man tzij taj.
8 while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Man inmakuninaq taj choch ri taqanik kech ri winaq aꞌj Israel, man inmakuninaq ta choch ri Templo, man inmakuninaq ta choch ri César.
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
Are kꞌu ri achi Festo xraj kaqaj chikiwach ri winaq aꞌj Israel, xuta che: ¿La kuchap akꞌuꞌx kateꞌ je laꞌ pa Jerusalén, rech je laꞌ kinqꞌat wi tzij paꞌwiꞌ?
10 But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: Man kawaj taj. We ja riꞌ qas are qꞌatbꞌal tzij rech ri tinimit Roma, waral qas yaꞌtal wi kaqꞌat tzij pa nuwiꞌ. Etaꞌm la chi man in ajmak taj, maj kꞌax nubꞌanom chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
11 For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."
We kꞌu ne nubꞌanom mak ri taqalik kinkamisax rumal, man kinkꞌopij ta wibꞌ we kinkamik. We kꞌu ne maj numak, maj jachin yaꞌtal bꞌe che kinujach pa kiqꞌabꞌ we achyabꞌ riꞌ rech kinkikamisaj. Chuqꞌata tzij pa nuwiꞌ ri César.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
Ri Festo xtzijon kukꞌ ri yaꞌl taq unoꞌj kꞌa te riꞌ xubꞌij: Utz bꞌa riꞌ, cho ri César kateꞌ wi rumal cher xatoqꞌij are ri César kaqꞌatow tzij paꞌwiꞌ.
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
Are ikꞌowinaq chi kebꞌ oxibꞌ qꞌij, ri taqanel Agripa rachiꞌl ri ranabꞌ ubꞌiꞌ Berenice, xoꞌpan chuyaꞌik rutzil uwach ri Festo.
14 As they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Are tajin kasolix ri Festo rumal ri taqanel, ri Festo xutzijoj che ri taqanel ri kariqitaj ri Pablo, xubꞌij che: Waral kꞌo jun achi kojtal kan pa cheꞌ rumal ri Félix.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Are xinkꞌojiꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, ri kinimaꞌqil chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel xkitzujuj chwe xuqujeꞌ xkitoqꞌij kinqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ.
16 To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense against the charge.
Xinbꞌij kꞌu chike chi ri taqanik rech Roma, man kuqꞌalajisaj taj ajmak jun winaq we majaꞌ kata ri utzij pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij. Ri winaq ri katzujuxik yaꞌtal che kutoꞌ ribꞌ chikiwach ri ketzujunik.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
Are xuꞌl ri e tzujunelabꞌ rech ri Pablo, man xinbꞌey ta wibꞌ, chukabꞌ qꞌij xeꞌnsikꞌij ri kabꞌan ke pa ri qꞌatbꞌal tzij kꞌa te riꞌ xintaqan chukꞌamik ri Pablo.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Ri umak kꞌut ri xkibꞌij man are ta riꞌ ri etzelal ri wayeꞌm in.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Kakitzujuj rumal ri kikojonik, xuqujeꞌ rumal jun achi ubꞌiꞌ Jesús ri xkamik, xa kꞌu kubꞌij ri Pablo chi kꞌaslik.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Man wetaꞌm taj jas kinbꞌan chi retaꞌmaxik we jastaq riꞌ. Xinta kꞌu che we kuchap ukꞌuꞌx kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén rumal taq we jastaq riꞌ.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."
Ri Pablo kꞌut xutoqꞌij chi are ri César kaqꞌatow tzij puꞌwiꞌ. Xaq jeriꞌ xintaqan che uchajixik kꞌa kintoꞌtaj na chusukꞌumaxik ri rajawaxik che rech keꞌ cho ri César.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."
Ri Agripa xubꞌij: Kawaj kinta in riꞌ ri achi riꞌ. Ri Festo xubꞌij: Chweꞌq kata la.
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Chukabꞌ qꞌij, ri Agripa xopan pa ri nimalaj ja ri kakimulij wi kibꞌ ri winaq, rachiꞌl ri Berenice xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj e kꞌi winaq, ri nimaq taq taqanelabꞌ pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ xuqujeꞌ achyabꞌ ri nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn pa ri tinimit. Ri Festo kꞌut xtaqan chukꞌamik ri Pablo.
24 And Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all people who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Ri Festo xubꞌij: Taqanel Agripa, xuqujeꞌ winaq ri ix kꞌo kamik, are waꞌ ri achi ri sibꞌalaj kakaj ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo waral xuqujeꞌ ri e kꞌo pa Jerusalén kakil uwach kaminaq.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
Ri in kꞌut kinchomaj maj jun jastaq ubꞌanom ri yaꞌtalik kakam rumal. Xutoqꞌij kꞌut keꞌ cho ri kinimaꞌqil ri nimaq taq qꞌatal tzij ri kꞌo pa ri tinimit Roma, rumal riꞌ kintaq bꞌik.
26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.
¿Jas kꞌu ri kintzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik che ri qꞌatal tzij? Man kꞌyaqal ta ri umak ri kabꞌixik, rumal laꞌ xinkꞌam loq chiꞌwach iwonojel, je xuqujeꞌ choch la Taqanel Agripa, rech are kakꞌot taj uchiꞌ kꞌo kaqatzꞌibꞌaj bꞌik.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Rumal cher man kuya taj kaqataq bꞌik jun winaq ri kꞌo pa cheꞌ cho ri kinimaꞌqil ri nimaq taq qꞌatal tzij, we man kꞌyaqal ri umak, ri katzujux wi.
