Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Nene, Festus pira kipin tigo me, na ayiri atat nkata, anye udu Ukaisariya nin Urushelima.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
Ugo napirist nin na didia na Yahudawa su tizogo kitene Bulus nin Festus, isu uliru nin likara kitin Festus, isu ulinu nin likara kitin Festus.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
Itirino Festus ku ati ayi asheu nin bulus, nworo ayicila ghe udu Urushelimma inan mologhe libau we.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Ama Festus kauwa nani Bulus kucin nari nanya Kaisariya, ame liti me ba kpinlu kikane.
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."
“Bara nani, alenge na iwasa isu,” aworo, “Iba duu nanghirik, asa na imon nnana, iba kifu ghe nin kulapi.”
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.
Na aso ayiri kulir sa likure, annya udu Ukaisariya, nin liyiri linbe aso kutet nwucu kidegen, ata idanin Bulus kiti me.
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,
Na ada duru, a Yahudawa unuzu Urushelima da yisina kupo me, ibelle kinu kanga na kidegen duku ba.
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 kusu liti me aworo, “Na kitene lisa na Yahudawa ba, a na kitene kutyi nlirag ba, ana kitene ugo Kaisar ba, anin nsu utanua.”
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?"
Ame Festus dinin su ase uyinnu na Yahudawa, anin kauwa Bulus ku aworo, “Udinin su udoo Urushelima meng di wuso fi kidegen, kitene nile imone kikane?”
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 woro, “Meng yisin nbun kutet nwucu kidegen kaisar, kika na iba wussi kidegen. Na nna su Ayahudawa kulapi ba, nafo nafe yiru.
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."
Ko nin nwonu nna taan, nin woro andi nnasu imomon ile na ibatina ukul, na nnari nkuu ba, Bara nani andi na uvuruzu mine na imonari ba, na umong wa nakpai kiti mine ba. In yicila kiti Kaisar.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go."
Kubi na Festus nlira nan na didia a kauwa, “Uyicila kitene kaisar; uba duu kitin kaisar.”
13 Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
Nene na among ayiri nkata, ame uga Agaripa nin Banis da duru nanya Nkaisariya, isu lizzi kiti 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;
Kubi na awadi kikane ayiri gbardang Festus durso uliru Bulus kiti ngowe, a woro, “Felix na suun umong kikane nafo unan licin.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Kubi na nwanwandi nanyan Urushalima ago na Priest nin nakukune na Yahudawa da nin nliru kitene nnit une kiti nigh itiri ni nmolu ghe.
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.
Kiti nlel nkauwa nworu na alada nin na Romawa, inii unit nafo unit ulau, nin nani lenge na avuro ghe, bara anan kusu liti me.
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.
Bara nani, kubi na ida ligowe, na nwa cicah ba, nin nkuiye nso kutet nwucu kidgen, ntaa idaa nin nite nanye.
18 Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
Kubi na ale na vuroge nfita, men yene nafo vat nile imon na ivuro ghe mun, di nin likara ba.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Nin nani, idinin nimomon ugang kitene nadini mine, kitene nimong Yesu ulenge na ann kuu, ulenge na Bulus dinsu a dinin lai.
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.
Na meng nyinno iyizari nbasu uleli uliru ba, men bellinghe, andi aba du Urushalima, idi wuso ghe kidegene kitene nile imone.
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."
bara kubi na iwa yicila Bulus ku idi ceo ghe kiti licin, bara ubellu ngo udia, men belle i ceo ghe, udu kubi kongo na mba tuu ninghe kiti Kaisar.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you will hear him."
Agarippa wa liru nin Festus, “Meng wang ba yitu nin su nlanza unit une.” Nin nkui” Festus woro “Una lanza ghe.”
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.
Udu liyirin ndofine, Agarippa nin Banis ida nin ngonon kang, ida pira nanya kuyiye nin nasoja, nan nanit adidia kagbire, kubi na Festus nlirina ida nin Bulus kiti mine.
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 woro, “Ugo Agarippa, nin vat nanit alenge na idi kikane nanghinik, iyene unit ule, vat ngardang Nayahudiyawa na da seei kikane tutun, inani na lirin nin liwui, na iwa suun unit ule nin lai ba.
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.
Meng na lanza na asu imon ile na ibatina ukul ba, ama bara na ana yicila kiti ngo, nmini di nworu ntuu ghe.
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.
Bara ndimun nimon ident ile na nba nyertinu ugo ba, unnere ntaa, nmini ndaa ninghe kiti mine, fe Ugo Agarippa, bara nnanse imomon gbardang na nba nyertinu kitene nshara ule.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
Bara uba so nafo usalin kpilizu, kiti nigh, ntuu nin nan licin, sa ubelle nimon ile na idin vuruzughe mun.”
