< Acts 25 >
1 Festus, [who was now the governor] of the province, arrived in Caesarea, and three days later he went up to Jerusalem.
Titia, Festus etu jagate ahise, aru tin din pichete, tai Caesarea pora Jerusalem te jaise.
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].
Titia mukhyo purohit khan aru Yehudi laga cholawta khan Festus logot Paul bhirodh te golti lagaise, aru anurodh korise.
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].
Aru Paul laga bhirodh te ekta upkar Festus ke mangise - ki Festus pora Paul ke Jerusalem te matibo nimite- eneka hoile taike loija-a homoi te kunba khan rasta te rukhai kene taike morai dibole bhabona thakise.
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.
Kintu Festus koise Paul to Caesarea te bondhi ase, aru tai nijor bhi joldi ta te jabole ase.
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.”
Tai koise, “Etu karone tumikhan majote kun cholawta ase taikhan moi logote jabole dibi. Jodi etu manu kiba biya kaam korise koile, taikhan taike golti dibole kobi.”
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.
Aru tai dos din nisena taikhan logote thaki kene tai Caesarea te ahi jaise, aru dusra din bisar jagate bohi kene Paul ke loi anibole hukum dise.
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].
Aru jitia Paul ahise, Jerusalem pora aha Yehudi khan ahi tai age piche khara hoi kene taike bisi biya golti lagaise jun to taikhan nijor bhi sakhi koribo napare.
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].”
Titia tai nijor kotha koise, “Moi Yehudi khan niyom laga bhirodh, nohoile girja ke bhirodh, nohoile Caesar laga bhirodh te eku bhi golti kora nohoi.”
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]?”
Kintu Festus Yehudi khan ke khushi koribo itcha pora Paul ke koise, “Tumi Jerusalem te jai kene ami laga bisar jaga usorte etu kotha loi bisar korile tumi itcha hobo?”
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.
Titia Paul koise, “Moi etiya bhi Caesar bisar jaga usorte khara ase, ami laga bisar yate hobo lage, apuni bhi jani ase, moi Yehudi khan logot eku golti kora nohoi.
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].”
Jodi moi golti ase, aru etu nimite moike morai dibole layak ase koile moi morile bhi apatti nai. Kintu ki kotha loi kene moike doshi di ase, jodi ekta bhi hosa nohoi koile, kunbi moike taikhan hathte dibo na paribo, moi Caesar logot anurodh koribo.”
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].”
Titia Festus pora sabhakhan ke kotha kori kene koise, “Tumi Caesar logote kotha mila bole kori ase. Karone tumi Caesar logote jabo!”
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].
Aru olop din juwa pichete Raja Agrippa aru Bernica Caesarea te ahi Festus ke adar dise.
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].
Aru duijon ta te bisi din thaka pichete, Festus Paul laga kotha raja ke koi dise. Tai koise, “Felix pora yate kunba ekjon ke bondh kora jagate rakhi ase.
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]}.
Aru jitia moi Jerusalem te jaise, Yehudi khan laga mukhyo purohit khan aru bura khan tai bhirodh te golti kotha moike koise, bisar kori taike saja dibole.
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.
Kintu moi taikhan ke koise, Rome laga niyom te to hoile, kunke golti lagai ase, taike bisar kora dinte taike golti lagai diya khan usor nijor sob kotha kobole homoi nadi kene taike saja diya niyom nai.
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].
Karone jitia taikhan yate ahi kene joma hoise, moi deri nakori kene dusra din, bisar jagate bohi kene utu manu ke loi anibole hukum dise.
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].
Jitia taike golti diya manu khan khara koi kene tai laga golti koise, taikhan eku biya golti dibo para nai, jineka moi bhabise tineka huwa nai.
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.’
Kintu taikhan nijor dhorom kotha aru mori juwa Jisu koi kene ekjon asele, Paul koi utu jinda ase, etu kotha loi kotha namila he ase.
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]}?’
Aru etu laga motlob moi bhal pora bujhi bole para nai, karone moi taike hudise jodi tai etu kotha ke bisar kori bole Jerusalem te jabole mon kore na nai.
21 But Paul answered, ‘[No]. I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]!
Kintu Paul koise tai Caesar logote anurodh koribo, etu karone moi taike Caesar logot pathai nadiya tak taike bondh kora jagate thaki bole hukum dise.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”
Titia Agrippa pora Festus ke koise, “Moi nijor utu manu laga kotha hunibo itcha ase. Festus jawab dise, “Kali apuni tai kotha huni bole pabo.”
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,
Karone dusra din Agrippa aru Bernica duijon dhum-dham pora bhal kapra lagai kene aru sheher laga daruga khan aru dusra cholawta logote sabha te ahise. Aru jitia Festus hukum dise, titia Paul ke loi anise.
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.
Festus koise, “Raja Agrippa aru jun yate ahi bohi ase, apnikhan bhi etu manu ke dikhi ase, etu manu nimite yate thaka Yehudi khan sob aru Jerusalem te thaka sob moi logote binti korise tai jinda thaki bole nalage koise.
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.
Kintu tai moribo lage eneka eku kaam kora moi pa-a nai, aru tai nijor moi Caesar logot anurodh koribo koise, to moi taike pathai dibole faisla kori loise.
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].
Kintu tai laga kotha ami Caesar logot kineka likhibo thik napai-a karone, moi taike apnikhan aru khaas pora Raja Agrippa apuni usorte loi anise, pichete kiba likhi bole pabo bhabona kori kene.
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.”
Kelemane ekjon manu ke ki nimite bondhi nisena pathai ase etu thik pora nalikhile, etu to moi hisab te thik nohobo.”
