Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea;
Sa jom lidi, Phestas ah Kaisiria dowa Jerusalem ni kata,
2 and the High-priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech him
romwah phokhoh nyia Jehudi dowa mihak phokhoh loong ah ih Pool mat hoon tiit ah erah ni hoonkaat rum taha. Neng ih Phestas
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.
lasih joh rumta Pool Jerusalem nah siitkaat theng ngeh ah, neng loong ah ih Pool ah lam nah tek haat theng ngeh ih kaankoong rumta.
4 Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea, and that, he himself, was about, shortly, to be going out [thither].
Phestas ih ngaakbaat rumta, “Pool bah Kaisiria ni phaatak ni tongla, ngah enah kharok eh ngaak wangte.
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.
Sen mihak phokhoh loong ah Kaisiria nah nga damdoh toom wakwang rumha mat eh jootjih thetre kota bah ah.”
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.
Neng damdi Phestas ah sa asat tam sa asih waktong ano Kaisiria ni kata. Erah saalih adi Phestas ah mat hoontheng nok adi tong ano Pool siitwan baat rumta.
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, —
Pool ah thokkoh haano, Jerusalem nawa ra taha Jehudi loong ah kookchap rum ano heh thetkhat tiit ah rapne ih daanmui rumta, erabah uh heh ah tiim thila erah tadong noisok rumta.
8 Paul saying in defence—Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I in anything sinned.
Eno Pool heteewah pangjeng jengta: “Jehudi Hootthe, Rangteenok nyia Luuwanglong ngathong ni ngah tathetre kang.”
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?
Enoothong Jehudi loong ih toom se chohang li ano, Phestas ih Pool suh chengta, “Arah tiit ah Jerusalem nah nga pandoh hoonkaat suh tam nook uh?”
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.
Pool ih liita, “Luuwanglong mat hoon theng noklong ni chaplang, nga mat hoon jilam ang abah uh arah doh hoon theng. An teewah ih jat ih halang, ngah Jehudi loong raangtaan ih tiim uh tathet reekang.
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!
Nga mik laan mah roh hootthe thet hoom kohang bah adoleh thetre kolang bah, ngah ah puipang he ngeh ih tabaat rumra. Enoothong mat ih deejoh rum halang ah ami lah angka bah, o ih uh Jehudi loong lak nah nak haat he. Ngah ih Luuwanglong ngathong ni chuut hu lang.”
12 Then Festus, having conversed with the council, answered—Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? Unto Caesar, shalt thou go.
Heh suh hukbatte loong damdi roongwaan ano, Phestas ih ngaak baatta, “An ih Luuwanglong lasih johu, heh jiinnah kah uh.”
13 And, some days having gone by, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute Festus.
Rekam saapoot lidi Agrippa Luuwang nyia Bernis Kaisiria hah ni Phestas lamchoh kanyuuta.
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;
Erah ni rekamdook tong kanyu ah lidi, Phestas ah Luuwang damdi Pool tiit roong waanta: “Pheliks ih phaatak ni sakthiin arah ani mih wasiit je ah;
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:
eno ngah Jerusalem ni katang adi, Jehudi romwah phokhoh nyia hadaang phokhoh loong ih dut haat etheng ngeh ih tiit thok hoon rum taha.
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.
Eno ngah ih baat rumtang seng Room nok hah bah matwah ah hechang hebente damdoh heteewah maangchoh waanwaan nyia heh teewah suh heh puipang jengkhaap lajeng thuk tami dut haatke.
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:
Neng loong ah ani ra haano, ngah tasentong tang; erah saalih adi tiit hoon nok ni tong angno erah mih toonsiit kaat thuk rumtang.
18 Concerning whom, taking their stand, his accusers, no accusation at all, were bringing, of the evil things which, I, had been suspecting;
Heh jeng phaakiite loong toonchap ano, heh thetkhat tiit tiim uh tajeng rumta, ngah ih thuntang heh thetre tiit jeng eh rum ah ngeh ah.
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.
Neng loong ah nengrom nengrang tiit nyia jen tekchoi Jisu tiit ba daanmui rumta; enoothong Pool ih ething ngeh ih baat rumta.
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.
Arah tiit ah mamah lam eh huk thoithaak ang ngeh ih ngah tiim uh tami thun tang, erah raangtaan ih tiit ah Jerusalem nah hoonkaat suh maanook ju oh ngeh ih Pool suh chengtang.
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.
Enoothong Pool chuut huuta; nga bante suh rapniine eh riikoi sokboi thuk heeno mat tiit ah Luuwanglong ih toom paat ah. Erah raangtaan eh Luuwanglong reeni maang wang thukthuk sipaahi loong asuh riikoi sokboi thuk rumtang.”
22 And, Agrippa, [said] unto Festus—I could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. To-morrow, (saith he) thou shalt hear him.
Agrippa ih Phestas suh liita, “Arah mih jeng ah nga teeteewah ih chaat suh liihang.” Eno Phestas ih baatta, “Rangkhah an ih chochaat eh uh.”
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.
Erah saalih adi Agrippa nyia Bernis ih arami saahaap elongthoon nyia samnuthung dowa mihak phokhoh loong ah siitnyu ano nok atang thuttheeta nok adi wangrum taha. Phestas ih baat kano, Pool ah nopsiit wanrum taha.
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.
Phestas ih liita, “Agrippa Luuwang nyia adi khoon thokte noksong paangmeh loong: Arah mih ah sok thaak an, heh tiit ah ani waate nyia Jerusalem ni songtongte, Jehudi loongtang ih ngasuh chuiwan rum taha rah ah. Eno neng loong ah riiraak rumta ething lakah boot tongthuk theng.
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: —
Enoothong hemik laan mah roh eh thetre arah bah ngah ih tiim uh tachoh jokang. Adoleh heh Luuwanglong ngathong ni heteteewah chuut hu phiino, ngah ih Luuwanglong reenah kaatthukte anglang.
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;
Enoothong Luuwanglong suh tiim raangmaat theng ah tiim uh amuh. Erah raangtaan ih sen ngathong ni Pool thoksiit halang—Agrippa Luuwang, an ngathong ni ah—timnge liidi, heh thetre thaakcheng eno, tiim bah uh mi raangmaat eh suh ah.
27 For, unreasonable, unto me, it seemeth, when sending a prisoner, not also, the accusations against him, to signify.
Ngah ih thunhang ah langla phaatak ni tiim thoilam di tongla erah lajat thang eh Luuwanglong reeni kaat thuk ah nga thung ni tapunka.”
