Acts 25

1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

Zizan Festus a rini Lardia, i vi tra a ka hi, a zren rji ni Kasariya nda ka ri ni Urushelima.

2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,

Kikle Prist baba bi ninkon kri nimi Yahudawa, ba nji tre wu wa tro nitu Bulus, nda mye Festus

3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.

ni bre ndi du ya ba ni lo sron nitu Bulus, - ndi du yo ye ni Urushelima, nitu ba sia wan nkon wa ba wuu ni ya ybi ni nkon ye.

4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

Festus a sa bawu ndi ba vu Bulus lo zi ni Kasariya, i wawu me ana ni gbron nkon na, ani hiniki.

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."

“Nitu ki, biwa ba he ni nkon hi,” a tre, “baka huta hiki. Ikpe memenita he nitu iguyi, bika ye nhawu.”

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.

Festus a sonwu vi tandra hi wlon nda lu grji hi ni Kasariya, i ni vi wu huki, a kuson ni ruron gaatre nda nduba yo Bulus nji wu ye niwu.

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,

Niwa a ye'a, Yahudawa rjini Urushelima ba ki whi niki, nda nji gbugbu kpi bi gbengblen ye nhawu ndana to nkon u low ni bana.

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."

Bulus a ngla kpama nda tre ndi, “Mina ti kpe wu latre nitu iduu wu Yahudawa, ko ka ni hekali na, mba ka ni siza na.”

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?"

U Festus a ta son kpa nyime ni Yahudawa, kimayi ndu Bulus tre ndi, “Wu son hon hi ni Urushelima du mi hi gaatre ni tu kpi biyi niki?”

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.

Bulus a tre ndi, “Mi kri ni shishi ruron gaatre Siza, ni bubu wa ani wo tre mu.” Mina ti kpe meme ni Yahudawa na, me wa wume wu to.

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."

Mita na ti kpe meme mba mita ti kpe wa a tsra dumi kwu, mina kamu ni kwu na. I nha mba na kpe na, du ndrjo na kame chuwo ni bawu na. Mi bre kri ni shishi Siza.”

12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."

Hu gon wa Festus ba tre baba bi son bi ninkon ba, a sa niwu ndi, “Wu bre ndi wu son kri ni shishi Siza, Ni shishi Siza mba wu hi!”

13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.

Zizan, hu vi bari, Ichu agrippa mba Bernice ba ye ri ni Kasariya, nitu ye zren ya ndu wu Festus.

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;

Niwa ba heniki wu bi gbugbuwu, Festus a nji tre Bulus ye ni Ichua; a tre ndi, “Felix a ka igu ri don nigon nimi kotro.

15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

Niwa mina hi ni Urushelima, ninkon Prists baba bi chiche Yahudawa ba nji tre ye nha nitu igu yi nimu, nda wa dumi lo wu kwu ni bawu.

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.

Mi sa bawu ndi a na he ni nkon wu hu bi Roma du ba ka ndrjo nu hama ni indji wa ba nhawu ka kri bla ni shishi biwa ba nhau a, nitu du to ngla tuma ni kpi wa ba nhau ni wua.

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.

Nituki, niwa ba ye wawumba ni wayi, mina gben na, nivi wu hukima, mi son ni ruron gaatrea ni ton du ba nji igua ye.

18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;

Niwa bi nhanwuba ba lu kri, bana nhawu ni kpe wa mi ban ndi a hi meme dri na.

19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

Hama ki, ba sia hlo nyu ni wu nitu nkon hu Irji mba mba nitu indji ri Yesu wa a kwu ye, wa Bulus ni ban di a he ni sisren.

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.

Mina to nkon wu hu ri shle tu tre yi na, niki mi myeu ka anison hi ni Urushelima, nda hi ngla tuma ni nha tre biyi.

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."

I wa Bulus a bre ndi ki don zi ni bubu tro, nitu du gben kpe wa kikle ninkon wawu ani ban ni tuma. Mi du ba ziu ni tro ni du mi ka tru hi ni Kaisar.”

22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."

Agrippa a tre ni Festus, “Mi son wo igu'a ngame.” “Imble,” Festus a hla, “wu woo wu.”

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.

Niki ni vi wu hua, Agrippa mba Bernice ba ye ni kikle gan; nda ye ri ni mi ko sona ni ninkon sojoji baba kikle indji bi gbua. Niwa Festus a lu tre du ba hi njiwu ye, baka nji Bulus ye.

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.

Festus a tre ndi, “Ichu Agrippa, ni ba ndji me wawuu wa ba he niwa nitaa, wuto indji yi, ni Urushelima mba ni wayi ngame, i ba kpagro ndi du na la son ni sisren na.

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.

Mi ya nito ndi anati kpe wa a tsra wu kwu na, i nitu wa a bre ndi du wawu hi ni shishi emperor wawu, mi ban zi ndi mi tru hi niwu.

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.

Niki mina he ni kpe tsatsra wa mi nha ni Bachi mu na. Nitu ki, mi njiwu ye ni wu, iwu Ichu Agrippa, nitu du mi kpa kpe wa mi nha nitu trea.

27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."

A rjuto ana he nituma du me tru indji wa a he ni lo hama ni hla ngame nhan wa a heni tumaa.”
