Acts 25
1 Now, Festus entered the province, and after three days, he went from Caesarea up to Jerusalem.
La Festus do ki kume taar gwam kaisariya yaken Ursalima.
2 The chief priest and the prominent Jews brought accusations against Paul, and they urged him
La nii dur wabe kange nubo dur yahudawa cin bo ki kwanere dor Bulus cer, la cin kenco.
3 and asked him for a favor that would put Paul in danger—that Festus might summon Paul to Jerusalem so that they could kill him along the way.
Cin me tikali cinen na ci doken Bulus mor dotange - di Festus na cou Bulus Ursalima ri na cin twalumco dor nure
4 Festus answered that Paul was being held at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there soon.
Dila Festus ciya ciki, Bulus bou firen kaisariya, kutakni coki bweco aniylareken firen.
5 “Therefore, those who can,” he said, “should go there with us. If there is something wrong with the man, you should accuse him.”
Nyori wo Ayumom bwikan gekotiyeri. Na bwirank ke kange we kange nii wori ciya toco.
6 Festus stayed not more than eight or ten days and then he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat in the judgment seat and commanded Paul to be brought to him.
Dila ki kume narub kaka kwob la nyilake kaisariya. Celfini ceri Nyiken fiye bworange ki ciya bwoki Bulus kabum cem.
7 When he arrived, the Jews from Jerusalem stood nearby, and they brought many serious charges which they could not prove.
Kambo Bulus boweri Yahudawa wo Ursalima tirangum bidom ci yoten ci bwerauti ki kiyage laci fiyabo ken wi.
8 Paul defended himself and said, “I have done nothing wrong against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
Bulus cokum dorcero ki, ma mabo nii nen bwiranke, kaka Yahudawa, kaka kuwabe kaka kaisar.”
9 But Festus wanted to gain the favor of the Jews, and so he answered Paul and said, “Do you want to go up to Jerusalem and to be judged by me about these things there?”
Dila Festus ki do fuwor bwiyarade fiye Yahudawa wiye, Dila nyori co me Bulus ki mo cuiti namo ya Ursalima.
10 Paul said, “I stand before the judgment seat of Caesar where I must be judged. I have wronged no Jews, just as you also very well know.
Bulus yiki co tim fiye maka borank kaisar fiye tam ceu. Min ma dike yorbei kom nyumom gwam.
11 Though if I have done wrong and if I have done what is worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if their accusations are nothing, no one may hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
Na bicom mima burankge mima dike dateng bwerangke mikobo in bwiyam. dila na dike lam na bitoren cwerke nin, nikange cunkange. mi tuwciurkumeti fiye kaisar.”
12 After Festus talked with the council, he answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
kambo Festus dim fuwakangkako kange nobe ri La ciya ki, mo cu kaisar monyanken kaisar”.
13 Now after some days, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to pay an official visit to Festus.
Ki kume kange, liya Agrippa kange Bernice cin yirau Caeserea na cin yacuner Festus ki diker.
14 After he had been there for many days, Festus presented Paul's case to the king; he said, “A certain man was left behind here by Felix as a prisoner.
La lam kumeni, kila Festus nyi liya keti bidarange wo Filibus domti mur kuu kuka.
15 When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against this man to me, and they asked for a sentence of condemnation against him.
Ki kwamawo mi Ursalima, kange dur ni wabka kange nubo dur Yahudawa ci boki kiyange ce fiye miwiyeu, cin keni naci twalumco.
16 I answered them that it was not the custom of the Romans to hand over anyone before the accused had faced his accusers and had an opportunity to defend himself against the charges.
Ki woro yi ciki, ke dam Romawa yibo ki aneken bibei nii bibwiyer, La wo ci kwakiyagece cin neco firank naco congum dorcero nob kiyagecenen, naco kiye ker kiyangece.
17 Therefore, when they came together here, I did not wait, but the next day I sat in the judgment seat and I ordered the man to be brought in.
La ciin mwelim kebo ki tiranka kene, celfiniceri miyiken fiye maka bolange minyici ciya boki nii co.
18 When the accusers stood up and accused him, I thought that none of the charges that they brought against him were serious.
Kambo nob kiyangebo boki kyangeceri, kero ken mani morece.
19 Instead, they had certain disputes with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul claims to be alive.
Miyumom kwaka kaciyeko na kuwaabece dor Yesu wo bwiyamdi Bulus ki wuki dume.
20 I was not certain about how to investigate this matter, and so I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem to stand trial there about these charges.
Mi fwiki kambo ma fuma kerowo matongti lami meco miki monyaken Ursalima na walum kero.
21 But when Paul appealed to be kept in custody while awaiting the decision of the emperor, I ordered him to be held in custody until I could send him to Caesar.”
Dila Bulus do ciya toco, Kaisar walum kero lamitoki ciya yobco men tukco kaisar nen.
22 Agrippa spoke to Festus, “I would also like to listen to this man.” “Tomorrow,” Festus said, “you will hear him.”
Agrippa yi Festus, Min cuiti na nuwa nii wo.” “Fini,” Festus yiki, “Mwan nuwa co.”
23 So on the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came with much ceremony; they came into the hall with the military officers and with the prominent men of the city. When Festus spoke the command, Paul was brought to them.
La ki celfiniceri Agrippa kange Bernice cin bou ki diker chaklang ka, kange nubo durko bitineceu. La Festus toki, ki ciya cokum Bulus fiye ciweyeu.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all you men who are here with us, you see this man; all the multitude of Jews consulted with me in Jerusalem and here also, and they shouted to me that he should no longer live.
Festus yiki Liya Agrippa kange nubo wi kange ciyeu cin toh nii wo kange nubo mwerum feu nub Yahudawa kange coh Ursalima gwam ci werang coti ki daten bo co yim ki dume.
25 I learned that he had done nothing worthy of death; but because he appealed to the emperor, I decided to send him.
ma nyumom mabo bwirang ke daten bwere, Dila wori co twalum kero cou yaken cuko fiye kaisar wiyeu. Nyori ma motum intomken co.
26 But I do not have something definite to write to the emperor. For this reason, I have brought him to you, especially to you, King Agrippa, so that I might have something more to write about the case.
Di miman ki Kerokange mitontiye miki murank kaisar nen. tomange, ki kerowo mibocuko kakumeu, nawonyon mitonentiyeu mo liya Agrippa. nan fiyam dike mayuktanti muranka mikonen dorcer.
27 For it seems unreasonable for me to send a prisoner and to not also state the charges against him.”
Fiye miwiyeu Bwira kabo intunin bwiranke mi murankbo bwirang ke co.
