Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Leleꞌ naa, hofernor feuꞌ a, nara na Festus, lali Kaisarea neu fo nae parenda. Ana leo fai teluꞌ a mia naa ma, ana lao nakandoo Yerusalem neu.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Sia naa, malangga agama Yahudi malanga nara ma malangga feaꞌ ra reu randaa ro e fo rahine e. Ara o ola-olaꞌ Paulus dedꞌea na sia sira neꞌebꞌue na naa.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
Ara o roꞌe, mete ma bisa naa, hofernor denu atahori nara ro baliꞌ Paulus Yerusalem nema, huu ara rala ralaꞌ ena rae tao risa Paulus sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Te hofernor nataa oi, “Ama nggaree. Taꞌo ia. Hela fo ara ranea e sia Kaisarea dei. Te au o ae haelai baliꞌ naa uu boe.
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."
De mete ma hei se hambu koasa fo nggero dedꞌeat ia, naa, tungga mo au Kaisarea uu. Mete ma atahori ia tao salaꞌ saa, naa, hei bisa midꞌedꞌea mo e sia naa.”
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.
Basa ma, Festus leo mbei ma fai sanahulu mia Yerusalem, dei de feꞌe baliꞌ nisiꞌ Kaisarea. Atahori Yahudi hira tungga e. Mbilaꞌ na ma, hofernor nae paresaꞌ dedꞌeat naa. De ana denu ro Paulus rala neu nandaa no e. Paulus rala neu ma, atahori Yahudi ra rambariiꞌ rereoꞌ rala e, de fee salaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu e. Te ara nda ratudꞌu bukti saa saꞌ boe.
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,
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."
Boe ma Paulus nasalaꞌe ao na nae, “Ama hofernor. Au nda feꞌe tao deꞌulakaꞌ saa saꞌ boe. Au o nda tao saa labꞌan hai atoran agama Yahudi ma sa. Au nda tao unggenggeo Lamatualain Uma Hule-oꞌe Huu Na sia Yerusalem. Ma au o nda tao saa labꞌan mana parenda Roma ra atoran na sa.”
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?"
Te hofernor nae haꞌi ralaꞌ no atahori Yahudi ra. Naa de, ana natane Paulus oi, “Ho duꞌa taꞌo bee? Mete ma au nggero dedꞌea ma sia Yerusalem, naa, ho nau, do hokoꞌ?”
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.
Paulus rena hofernor natane taꞌo naa ma, ana nataa oi, “Amaꞌ hofernor, au ia, atahori Roma. De ia naa, au umburiꞌ sia amaꞌ hofernor mia manaparenda Roma. Manaparenda Roma mana naꞌena hak nggero au dedꞌea ngga tungga atoran na. Dadꞌi au nda nau isiꞌ Yerusalem, fo neꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea ngga sia naa sa. Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, au nda tao salaꞌ saa saꞌ boe, labꞌan neu atahori Yahudi ia ra.
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."
Mete ma au tao salaꞌ, nandaa no hukun mate, naa, au simbo. Te mete ma saa fo ara olaꞌ naa, nda tebꞌe sa, tungga atoran Roma, nda hambu esa bisa fee au uu atahori ia ra lima nara sa. Ara sanggaꞌ a dalaꞌ, fo rae risa au parsumaꞌ a. De ia naa, tungga au hak ngga, au endi dedꞌeat ia nisiꞌ mamana nggengero dedꞌeat huuꞌ a, fo mane monaeꞌ Kaisar sia Roma, naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat ia!”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
Hofernor rena Paulus naꞌo naa ma, ana noꞌe dudꞌuꞌat mia nonoo mana tungga nggero dedꞌeat naa. Basa ma, ana nafadꞌe Paulus nae, “Huu moꞌe hene misiꞌ Kaisar, de ho musi muu sia Roma.” Olaꞌ basa ma, hofernor nateꞌe neꞌebꞌuet naa.
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
Basa ma, atahori Yahudi ra mane na, nara na Agripa, no feto na, nara na Bernike, rema sia Kaisarea, fo rae fee hadꞌat neu hofernor feuꞌ a.
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;
Ara numban fai hira ro hofernor Festus. Faiꞌ esa, Festus dui Paulus dedꞌea na neu ruꞌa se. Ana oi, “Ama maneꞌ! Sia Kaisarea ia, hai minea atahori sa, nara na Paulus. Dalahulu na, hofernor mbaraaꞌ a nda feꞌe naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea na sa.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Feꞌe lai-laiꞌ ia, au Yerusalem uu ma, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra ro lasi-lasi adat ra, rema kalaak Paulus, de roꞌe au hukun e.
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.
Te ufadꞌe se ae, ‘Tungga mana parenda Roma atoran na, au musi paresaꞌ dedꞌeat ia dei. Atahori mana radꞌedꞌeaꞌ ra musi randaa dei. Au ae rena hei fee salaꞌ saa neu e. Ma ana musi hambu nasalaꞌe ao na boe. Dei fo au bisa uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa, ma utudꞌaꞌ hukun saa neu e.’
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.
Au baliꞌ Kaisarea uma ma, atahori Yahudi hira tungga boe. Mbilaꞌ na ma, au paresaꞌ tuteꞌ dedꞌeat naa. Au denu se ro Paulus nema nandaa no au, fo au bisa bubꞌuluꞌ dedꞌeat ia huu-pata na.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Boe ma, atahori Yahudi ra rambariiꞌ de dui Paulus sala nara. Te saa fo rafadꞌeꞌ neu auꞌ a, bera na nda onaꞌ au dꞌuꞌaꞌ a sa.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Ara ratofa, huu ara nda ralaꞌ esa soꞌal agama nara sa. Ma, rareresi ro Paulus akaꞌ atahori sa, nara na Yesus. Tungga atahori Yahudi ra, Yesus mate ena. Te Paulus toꞌu nahereꞌ oi Yesus naa, nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena.
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.
Ara rareresi taꞌo naa, te huu au atahori feuꞌ, de nda itaꞌ ae uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat agama ia taꞌo bee saꞌ boe. Naa de au utane Paulus ae, ‘Ona bee na, au uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea ma ia sia Yerusalem, do?’
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."
Te ana nda nau sa. Ana noꞌe hene nisiꞌ keser. Naa de au uꞌungge uhereꞌ e, losa kaꞌe ala dei fo haitua e Roma neu.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."
Ara rena Festus dudꞌui na ma, Mane Agripa oi, “Mete ma bisa naa, au ae rena ao ngga mia atahori naa.” Festus nataa oi, “Bisa! Dei fo au ator fo fetu na, amaꞌ bisa rena ao ma mia atahori naa.”
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.
Mbilaꞌ ma, hofernor Festus ator, fo mane Agripa rena Paulus oꞌola na. Ana o ator fo atahori naeꞌ bisa rena Paulus oꞌola na boe. Malangga soldꞌadꞌu ra ma atahori monaen sia kota Kaisarea, basa se rema rena Paulus. Boe ma, mane Agripa no Bernike masoꞌ rala rema ro bua-bau mane nara. Basa atahori fee hadꞌat neu ruꞌa se. Basa se raꞌabꞌue ena ma, hofernor denu ro Paulus rala neu.
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.
Ara ro Paulus ma, hofernor olaꞌ oi, “Mane Agripa, ama nggara, ma toronoo susue nggare. Atahori ia, nara na Paulus. Malangga Yahudi hira radꞌedꞌea ro e. Ruma sia Yerusalem ma ruma sia ia, ara risiꞌ au, fo raꞌasusuuꞌ au rae, atahori ia, nda nandaa nasodꞌa sa ena.
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.
Naa de au paresaꞌ e, te nda hambu sala na nandaa no hukun mate sa. Te ana noꞌe hene nisiꞌ mana parenda ataꞌ. Naa de, nau nda nau sa, au musi fee ne Roma neu.
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.
Mete ma au haitua e, naa, au musi tao susura. Te ia na, au musi suraꞌ saa, fee mane monaeꞌ a? Naa de au uꞌubꞌue basa amaꞌ se, fo rena e. Basa naa, au oꞌe ama maneꞌ Agripa fee au dudꞌuꞌat, fo suraꞌ uhine susura fee neu mane monaeꞌ a. Au duꞌa na nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma au fee dedꞌeat ia nisiꞌ kaisar, te nda ufadꞌe atahori ia sala na sa. Au oꞌola ngga, baꞌu a ia. Makasi.”
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
