Acts 25
1 Festus, [who was now the governor] of the province, arrived in Caesarea, and three days later he went up to Jerusalem.
Karon, si Festus misulod sa probinsiya, ug human sa tulo ka adlaw, miadto siya gikan sa Ceasarea hangtod sa Jerusalem.
2 In Jerusalem, the chief priests and [other] Jewish leaders formally told [Festus] about [the things that they said] that Paul [had done that were wrong].
Ang pangulong pari ug ang mga inila nga mga Judio mipasaka ug mga sumbong batok kang Pablo ngadto kang Festus, ug sila maisogong nakigsulti kang Festus.
3 They urgently asked Festus to do something for them. [They asked him to command soldiers] to bring Paul to Jerusalem, [so that Festus could put him on trial there]. But they were planning that some [of them] would hide [near the road] and wait [for Paul] and kill him when he was traveling [to Jerusalem].
Ug nanghangyo sila kang Festus sa usa ka pag-uyon mahitungod kang Pablo, nga ipatawag siya didto sa Jerusalem aron pagapatyon nila siya sa dalan.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is in Caesarea, and is being guarded {[soldiers] are guarding him} [there]. I myself will go down to Caesarea in a few days.
Apan si Festus mitubag nga si Pablo usa ka binilanggo sa Cesarea, ug hapit na siya mobalik didto.
5 Choose some of your leaders to go there with me. [While they are there], they can accuse Paul of the wrong things that you say that he has done.”
“Busa, kung si kinsa kaninyo ang makahimo,” miingon siya, “kinahanglan mouban ka kanamo. Kung adunay sayop niadtong tawhana, mamahimo gayod kamo makapasangil kaniya.”
6 After Festus had been [in Jerusalem] eight or ten days, he went back down to Caesarea. [Several of the Jewish leaders also went there]. The next day Festus [commanded] that Paul be brought {someone to bring Paul} to him [in the assembly hall] so that he could judge him.
Human siya magpabilin sulod sa walo o labaw pa sa pulo ka adlaw, milugsong siya sa Caesarea. Ug sa sunod nga adlaw, milingkod siya sa lingkorana sa hukmanan ug nagmando nga si Pablo dad-on ngadto kaniya.
7 [After] Paul was brought to [the assembly hall], the Jewish [leaders] from Jerusalem gathered around him [to accuse him]. They told [Festus] that Paul had committed many crimes. But they could not prove [that Paul had done the things about which they accused him].
Sa pag-abot niya, ang mga Judio gikan sa Jerusalem nagtindog sa duol, ug nagpasaka sa daghang mga mabug-at nga sumbong nga wala gayod nila mapamatod-i.
8 Then Paul [spoke] to defend himself. He said to Festus, “I have done nothing wrong against the laws of us [(exc)] Jews, and I have not disobeyed the rules concerning our Temple. I have also done nothing wrong against your government [MTY].”
Gipanalipdan ni Pablo ang iyang kaugalingon ug miingon, “Wala magsupak sa ngalan sa mga Judio, wala magsupak sa templo, ug wala magsupak alang kang Cesar, aduna ba akoy nabuhat nga daotan.”
9 But Festus wanted to please the Jewish [leaders, so] he asked Paul, “Are you [(sg)] willing to go up to Jerusalem so that I can listen as these men accuse you [there]?”
Apan buot ni Festus nga makapahimuot sa mga Judio, ug busa siya mitubag kang Pablo ug miingon, “Buot ka bang motungas sa Jerusalem ug didto ka nako pagahukman mahitungod niining mga butanga?”
10 But Paul [did not want to do that. So] he said [to Festus], “[No], I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]! I am [now] standing before you, and you [(sg)] are the judge [whom the Roman] Emperor [MTY] [has authorized. This is the place] where I should be judged {where you should judge me}. I have not wronged the Jewish people [at all], as you know very well.
Si Pablo miingon, “Nagtindog ako sa atubangan sa hukmanan ni Caesar diin ako angay pagahukman. Wala akoy sayop nga nahimo sa mga Judio, sama sa nasayran mo usab.
11 If I had done something bad [for which I] should be executed {[concerning which the law said that they] should execute me}, I would not plead [with them that they] not kill me. But none of these things about which they accuse me is [true, so] no one can [legally] surrender me to [these Jews]. So I formally request that the emperor [MTY] [should judge me at Rome].”
Bisan paman kung aduna akoy nabuhat nga daotan ug kung aduna man akoy nahimo nga takos sa kamatayon, dili gayod ako mobalibad nga mamatay. Apan kung ang ilang mga sumbong walay pulos, walay bisan usa ang motugyan kanako ngadto kanila. Ako nalang idangop kang Cesar.”
12 Then after Festus conferred with the [men who regularly] advised him, he replied to Paul, “You [(sg)] have formally requested [that I should send you] to the emperor [in Rome. So I will arrange for] you to go there [in order that he can judge you].”
Unya si Festus nagkigsulti sa mga kadagkoan ug mitubag, “Gitawag nimo si Cesar; makaadto ka kang Cesar.”
13 After several days, King [Herod] Agrippa arrived at Caesarea, along with [his younger sister] Bernice. They had come to [formally] welcome Festus [as the new Governor of the province].
Karon sa paglabay sa pipila ka mga adlaw, si Haring Agripa ug si Bernice miabot sa Cesarea aron sa paghatag ug panggamhanang pagduaw kang Festus.
14 King Agrippa and Bernice stayed many days in Caesarea. While [they were] there, Festus told Agrippa about Paul. He said to the king, “There is a man here whom Felix kept in prison [while he was governor]. He left him [there when his time as governor ended].
Human sa pagpabilin didto sa pipila ka mga adlaw, si Festus nagtanyag sa kaso ni Pablo ngadto sa hari; miingon siya, “Adunay usa ka tawong binilanggo nga biniyaan ni Felix.
15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and [the other] Jewish elders told me that this man had done many things [against their laws]. They asked me to condemn him [to be executed] {judge him [so that people could kill him]}.
Sa dihang atua ako sa Jerusalem, ang mga pangulong pari ug ang mga kadagkoan sa Judio nagpadala ug mga sumbong kanako batok niining tawhana, ug nanghangyo nga mahukman siya sa kamatayon.
16 But I told them that when someone has been accused [of a crime, we] Romans do not immediately (condemn that person/declare that person to be guilty). First, we [command] him to stand before the people who are accusing him and to say whether or not he has done those things. [After that, the judge will decide what to do with] him.
Niini mitubag ako nga dili kini ang nabatasan sa mga Romano sa pagtugyan sa usa ka tawo alang sa usa ka paghangyo; hinuon, ang gipasangnginlan adunay kahigayonan nga moatubang sa mga nagpasangil ug manalipod batok sa mga sumbong kaniya.”
17 So those Jews came [here to Caesarea] when I came. I did not delay. The day after [we(exc) arrived], after I sat down at the place where I make decisions, I [commanded] that Paul be brought {[soldiers] to bring Paul} into [the courtroom].
Busa, sa pag-abot nilang tanan dinhi, wala na gayod ako maglangan, pagkasunod adlaw naglingkod ako sa lingkoranan sa hukmanan ug nagmando ako nga ang tawo dad-on sa akong atubangan.
18 The Jewish leaders did accuse him, but the things about which they accused him were not any of the [evil] crimes about which I thought [they would accuse him].
Sa dihang ang nagpasangil mitindog ug gipasanginlan siya, sa akong hunahuna walay bug-at nga sumbong batok kaniya.
19 Instead, what they argued about with him were some teachings that [some] Jews believe [and others do not believe. They argued] about a man whose name was Jesus who had died, [but the man they were accusing, whose name is] Paul, kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive again.’
Hinuon, aduna silay gikasaway kaniya pinaagi sa kaugalingon nilang relihiyon ug mahitungod kang Jesus nga namatay, nga gipamatod-an ni Pablo nga nabuhi.
20 I did not know what questions to ask [them, and I did not know how to judge] concerning their dispute. So I asked Paul, ‘Are you [(sg)] willing to go [back] to Jerusalem and have the dispute [between you and these Jews] judged there {and [let me] judge there the dispute [between you and these Jews]}?’
Nalibog gayod ako kung unsaon nako pagsusi kining mga butanga, ug nangutana ako kaniya kung buot ba niya moadto sa Jerusalem aron hukman didto mahitungod niining mga butanga.
21 But Paul answered, ‘[No]. I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]!
Apan sa dihang si Pablo nga gipabantayan sa mga sundalo sa bilanggoan aron sa paghulat sa hukom sa Emperador, ako siyang gimandoan nga bantayan hangtod siya mapadala ngadto kay Cesar.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”
Si Agripa nakigsulti kang Festus, “Buot gayod ako mamati nianang tawhana.” “Ugma,” Si Festus miingon, “Madungog nimo siya.”
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came very ceremoniously to the assembly hall. Some [Roman] commanders and prominent men in [Caesarea] came with them. Then, Festus told an officer to bring Paul. So after the officer [went to the prison and] brought him,
Busa pagkasunod adlaw, si Agripa ug Bernice miabot dinuyogan sa mga seremonyas; misulod sila ngadto sa tigomanan nga kauban ang mga pangulo sa mga sundalo ug uban kanila ang mga dungganon nga mga tawo sa maong siyudad. Ug sa dihang nagsugo na si Festus, gidala kanila si Pablo.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all [the rest of you] who are here, you see this man. Many [HYP] Jews in Jerusalem and also those here [in Caesarea] appealed to me, screaming that we [(exc)] should not let him live any longer.
Si Festus miingon, “Haring Agripa, ug sa tanang tawo nga ania kauban namo, nakita ninyo kining tawhana; ang katawhan sa Judio nga nanghangyo kanako sa Jerusalem, ug ania usab sila nga kauban nato, ug nagsinggit sila kanako nga kinahanglan dili gayod siya mabuhi.
25 But [when I asked them to tell me what he had done, and they told me], I found out that he had not done anything for which he should be executed {[anyone should] execute him}. However, he has asked that our emperor [should judge his case], so I have decided to send him to Rome.
Apan nasayran nako nga wala gayod siyay nabuhat nga daotan nga angayan sa kamatayon; apan tungod kay iyang gitawag ang Emperador, ako nakahukom nga ipadala siya didto.
26 But I do not know what specifically I should write to the emperor concerning him. That is why I have brought him here. I [want] you all [to hear him speak], and I especially want you [(sg)], King Agrippa, to hear him. Then, after we [(inc)] have questioned him, I may know what I should write [to the emperor about him].
Apan wala akoy makatarunganon nga masulat ngadto sa Emperador. Tungod niining nga katarungan, ako siyang gidala kaninyo, ilabi na gayod kanimo, Haring Agripa, aron aduna akoy masulat mahitungod niining kasoha.
27 It seems to me [that it would be] unreasonable to send a prisoner [to the emperor in Rome without my] specifying the [things about which people] are accusing him.”
Kay kini dili makatarunganon alang kanako nga magpadala ug binilanggo ug wala akoy maasoy nga basihanan batok kaniya.”
