Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
Len tolu tukun Festus el tuku nu in facl sac, el som Caesarea lac nu Jerusalem,
2 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,
yen ma mwet tol fulat ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul Paul nu sel. Elos kwafe sel Festus
3 asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.
elan welulos ke nunak lalos in usalu Paul nu Jerusalem, mweyen elos akoo in unilya inkanek uh ke el tuku uh.
4 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,
A Festus el fahk, “Paul el kapir oasr Caesarea, ac nga ac folokla nu we ke pacl na sa.
5 'Therefore those able among you — saith he — having come down together, if there be anything in this man — let them accuse him;'
Lela mwet kol lowos an in wiyu som nu Caesarea, ac srukak mwe alein lowos an we, fin oasr ma koluk el orala.”
6 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;
Festus el muta yorolos ke len oalkosr ku singoul, na el fah som nu Caesarea. Ke len se tok ah, el muta ke acn in nununku ac sap in utuku Paul.
7 and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem — many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,
Ke Paul el utyak, mwet Jew ma tuku Jerusalem me elos tu raunella, ac tukakunul ke ma koluk na yohk puspis, a elos tia ku in akpwayei.
8 he making defence — 'Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar — did I commit any sin.'
Tusruktu Paul el sifacna loangel ac fahk, “Wangin ma koluk nga orala lain Ma Sap lun mwet Jew, ku lain Tempul, ku lain Tokosra Fulat lun mwet Rome.”
9 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, 'Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?'
Tusruktu Festus el lungse akinsewowoye mwet Jew uh, oru el siyuk sel Paul, “Ya kom lungse som nu Jerusalem in tuh nununkeyuk kom we ye mutuk, ke ma tukakinyuk kom kac inge?”
10 and Paul said, 'At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;
Paul el fahk, “Inge nga tu ke acn in nununku lun Tokosra Fulat, yen se ma fal in nununkeyuk nga we. Wangin ma sufal nga orala nu sin mwet Jew uh, oana ke kom sifacna etu uh.
11 for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!'
Nga fin kunausla ma sap, ku orala kutena ma koluk su fal in anwuki nga kac, nga tia suk in kaingkunla ma inge. Tusruk, fin tia pwaye ma elos tukakinyu kac uh, wangin mwet ku in eisyuyang nu selos. Nga lungse sruhk ma inge nu ke nununku lun Tokosra Fulat.”
12 then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, 'To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.'
Na tukun Festus el lolngok yurin mwet kasru lal, el fahk, “Kom siyuk tari tuh kom in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ouinge ac fah supweyukla kom nwe yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
13 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,
In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Agrippa ac Bernice tuku nu Caesarea in tuh paingul Festus nu we.
14 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, 'There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,
Tukun eltal muta we ke kutu len, Festus el aketeya nu sin tokosra sac tukak ma orek lainul Paul. El fahk, “Mwet se oasr inge su Felix el tuh filiyana in presin ke el som.
15 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,
Ac ke nga tuh som nu Jerusalem, mwet tol fulat ac un mwet matu lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul nu sik ac siyuk ngan fahk mu oasr mwatal.
16 unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against [him].
Tuh nga fahkang nu selos mu kut mwet Rome uh tia wi sang mwatan mwet tukakyak ke ma koluk nwe ke na el, ac mwet ma tukakunul uh, ngetani in nununku, elan ku in loangel sifacna ye mutun mwet lainul uh.
17 'They, therefore, having come together — I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,
Ke elos tuku nu yenu, nga tia sisla pacl, a ke len se na tok ah nga som nu ke nien nununku, ac sap in utuku mwet sac.
18 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,
Mwet ma lainul uh elos tuyak, tusruktu elos tiana lainul ke kutena ma koluk ma nga nunku mu elos ac tukakunul kac uh.
19 but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;
Pwayena ma elos lainul kac uh pa akukuin na ke alu lalos uh, ac ke mwet se pangpang Jesus su misa tari, tuh Paul el fahk mu el moul.
20 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things —
Nga tuh tia ku in etu lah nga ac eis fuka mwe akpwayeye ma inge, pwanang nga tuh siyuk sel Paul lah el ac tia lungse som nu Jerusalem in orek lohngyuk se inge we ke ma tukakinyuk el kac uh.
21 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.'
Tusruktu Paul el tuh sruhk lohngyuk kacl uh in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ac elan mutana ke acn se ac taranyuk el sin mwet liyaung presin. Na pa nga sap elan mutana in presin nwe ke na nga ku in supwalla nu yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
22 And Agrippa said unto Festus, 'I was wishing also myself to hear the man;' and he said, 'To-morrow thou shalt hear him;'
Agrippa el fahk nu sel Festus, “Nga ke sifacna lohng sramsram lun mwet se inge.” Na Festus el fahk, “Kom ac fah lohngol lutu.”
23 on the morrow, therefore — on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered — Paul was brought forth.
Ke len tok ah Agrippa ac Bernice eltal tuku nu ke lohm in tukeni lulap, ac ke eltal utyak mwet uh akfulatyaltal ke kain in akfulat puspis. Mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, oayapa leum lun siti uh wi pac tukeni sac. Na Festus el sap in utuku Paul.
24 And Festus said, 'King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;
Festus el fahk, “Tokosra Agrippa, ac kowos nukewa su wi tukeni se inge! Kowos liye mwet se inge, su mwet Jew nukewa in acn Jerusalem, ac elos su muta yenu, elos use kas in lain puspis kacl nu yuruk. Elos wowoyak mu in tia lela elan moul.
25 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,
Tuh nga tiana ku in konauk lah oasr ma koluk el orala ma fal in anwuki el kac. Ac ke el sifacna siyuk lohngyuk kacl uh in orek sel Tokosra Fulat, nga wotela tari nga in supwalla nu yorol.
26 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;
Tuh wanginna kas kalem kacl yuruk ma fal nga in sim fahk nu sin Tokosra Fulat. Pa inge sripa se oru nga usalu nu ye motowos — yokna nu sum, Tokosra Agrippa! — tuh ke tari lohngyuk kacl uh, na ac fah oasr ma nga ku in simis fahk kacl.
27 for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.'
Mweyen wangin sripa nga in supwala sie mwet kapir, nga fin tia akkalemye ma lainyuk el kac uh.”
