Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea;
Fesitusa n den cua laa dogunni, da na taa puoli, o den fii ki ñani cesale ki gedi jelusalem.
2 and the High-priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him
Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni jufinba nikpela, den cua o kani ki wani o ban pia ya mama leni polo. Leni ki nanga yantiali.
3 asking for themselves as a favour against him, that he would send for him unto Jerusalem, —making, an ambush, to kill him on the way.
Ki den miadi o, ki go tigini o wan ŋanbi bipo, ki cedi polo cua jelusalem. ama bi den pia li djagibiadili, ki bua kpa o u sanu ni.
4 Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea, and that, he himself, was about, shortly, to be going out [thither].
Fesitusa den yedi ba, ke bi kubi o cesale, ke wani o ba, mo ba guani lipo likan waagi.
5 They, therefore, among you (saith he) who are in power, let them go down with me; and, if there is in the man, anything amiss, let them accuse him.
o den yedi ba, yiniini ya pia nikpela n pia ban kuti o yaala, ban cua tin gedi.
6 And, spending among them, not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and, on the morrow, taking his place upon the judgment-seat, ordered Paul to be brought.
Fesitusa, naa den kali, bi siiga yala cie dana nii li dana jiiga, ki den lebidi goani cesale. lan den fii fa wan den ka u bujiakaanu, o den yedi ke ban cuani polo.
7 And, when he presented himself, the Jews who, from Jerusalem, had come down, stood round about him, many and grievous charges, bringing against [him], which they were not able to prove, —
Wan n den cua. Jufinba nikpela yaaba n den ñiani jelusalem den lindi o, ki kuliti o leni li bonla boncianla yaala n bia, ki nan kan fidi ki doagidi ke li tie moamoani.
8 Paul saying in defence—Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I in anything sinned.
polo den cili ki maadi biba ga o yuli ki yedi mii tieni yala bia jufinba po, bi U Tienu diegu po, bi o bado sesa po.
9 But, Festus, wishing, with the Jews, to gain, favour, answered Paul, and said—Art thou willing, unto Jerusalem, to go up, and, there, concerning these things, be judged before me?
Fesitusa n den bua mangi jufinba pala, den yen polo: A bua ki gedi jelusalema leni, nni, ban ba jia ti buudi n nintuali laa bonla kuli po?
10 But Paul said—Standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, am I, where, I, ought to be judged. Unto the Jews, have I done no wrong, as, even thou, right well, art discovering.
Polo den yedi: n se sesa bujia kaanu kani, nanin pundi ban jia buudi, mii tieni tagili ba jufinba po, nani ŋan bani la, maama bonŋanla.
11 If then, on the one hand, I am doing wrong, and, anything worthy of death, have committed, I excuse not myself from dying; but, on the other hand, if there is, nothing, in the things whereof these are accusing me, no man, hath power to give, me, unto them as a favour: —Unto Caesar, I appeal!
N ya bi tieni tagili biadi ke pundi kuuma, n kan yie ki kpe, ama ban kulidi nni yaa la yaa tie faama, o ba kuli ki pia ya sanu n taani ki teni ba. n bua n buudi n tieni sesa po.
12 Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered—Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? Unto Caesar, shalt thou go.
Fesitusa leni o nijuoginkaaba n den juogi ki gbeni laa maama po. o den yedi ke a bua a buudi n tieni sesa po, to, lanwani o ba gedi sesa po.
13 And, some days having gone by, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute Festus.
Dana wamu n den pendi, o bado agilipa leni belenisa den cua sesale ki ba fuondi fesitusa.
14 And, as they were spending more days there, Festus, repeated, unto the king, the things relating to Paul, saying—A certain man, hath been left behind by Felix, as a prisoner;
nani ban den tieni dana wamu, Fesitusa den waani o bado yeni polo maama fuuli ki yedi: ja yendo ye li kadi dieli nni, ne, ke felisi n fii ki ŋa o.
15 concerning whom, when I happened to be in Jerusalem, the High-priests and the Elders of the Jews laid information, claiming against him a condemnation:
M=in den gedi jelusalema, bi kopadicianba yudanba leni jufinba nikpela den maadi nni o maama ki mia ke min jiaa o buudi ki teni ban kpa o.
16 unto whom made answer—That it is not a custom with Romans, to grant as a favour any man, before the accused, face to face, should have his accusers, and, opportunity of defence, should receive, concerning the charge.
n den waani ba, ke laa tie loma yaaba bogida nni ki teni o nilo ban kpa o, ke waa baa ki maadi yaaba n kulido nituanli ki gaa o yuli.
17 When, therefore, they had come together here, no delay whatever, making, on the next day, taking my place upon the judgment-seat, I ordered the man to be brought:
Lani bi den cua ne, mii den waagi, lan den fii fa, n den kali n bujiakaanu, ki den teni ke bi cuani o joa yeni.
18 Concerning whom, taking their stand, his accusers, no accusation at all, were bringing, of the evil things which, I, had been suspecting;
Yaaba den kuliti o n den sedi ki togidi, baa den fidi ki togidi ki waani, min den tama ke o pia ya tagili.
19 but, certain questions concerning their own demon-worship, had they against him, and concerning one Jesus, who had died, whom Paul was affirming to be alive.
Bi den nia leni o, ya maama n nua leni bi jaanma sanŋoadima fuuli leni yaa nilo n yi Jesu, yua n den kpe, ke o mo tua ke o fo.
20 And, I, being at a loss as to the inquiry into these things, was asking—whether he might be minded to go unto Jerusalem, and, there, be judged concerning these things.
Min ki den bandi, min baa jaa li maama, maama, n den buali o, o ya bua ki gedi jelusalema ban, ban jiaa o maama lanpo.
21 But, Paul, having appealed to be kept for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept, until I could send him up unto Caesar.
Ama, nani wan den yedi, ke o bua ke o buudi n gedi sesa o badiciamo po yeni, lanwani n den teni ke bi gu o li kadi dielini, kali min ba fidi ki gedi nni o sesa po.
22 And, Agrippa, [said] unto Festus—I could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. To-morrow, (saith he) thou shalt hear him.
Agilipa den yedi fesitusa: N moko bi bua ki gbadi o joa yeni maama. Fesitusa den yedi o, saala a ba gbadi o maama.
23 On the morrow, therefore, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great display, and they had entered into the audience-chamber, with the captains of thousands and men of distinction of the city, —and Festus had given orders, Paul was brought.
Lan den fii fa, agilipa len belenisa den cua ki kua u buujiakaanu leni ti kpiagidi, leni a minteela yudaano, leni u dogu nikpela. festisa den teni ke bi cuani polo.
24 And Festus saith—King Agrippa! and all ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living any longer.
lanwani festusa den yedi: O bado agilipa leni yinba yaaba n ye ne leni ti kuli. i nua ke ya joa tene yaapo ke jufinba kuli, yaaba n ye ne leni jelusalema kuli taani ki tua ke laa pundi wan go ya ye leni miali.
25 But, I, gathered, that, nothing worthy of death, had he committed; and, this man himself, having appealed unto the Emperor, I decided to send him: —
Mini yaapo, mii den laa ke o tieni yaa tagili n pundi ban kpa o, ke wani o ba mo den mia ke o bua ki gedi o badiciamo sesa po. n den bili ke n ba gedini o.
26 Concerning whom, anything certain to write unto my lord, I have not; wherefore, I have brought him forth before you, —and especially before thee, King Agrippa! in order that, after examination had, I might have something I could write;
Mii pia min n baa diani yaala o maama po, ki soani o badiciamo po. lani yaapo yo ke n teni ke bi cuani o fini obado agilipa nintuali, leni yinba kuli nintuali. yeni ti kuli yaa taani ki biigi o, min baa, min baa diani yaala.
27 For, unreasonable, unto me, it seemeth, when sending a prisoner, not also, the accusations against him, to signify.
Kelima n sua ke li tie yanfoluoma yo ke min soani ki kadi-biga, kaa waani ban kuli o yaala.
