Atũmwo 25
1 Na rĩrĩ, mĩthenya ĩtatũ yathira thuutha wa Fesito gũkinya kũu bũrũri-inĩ, akiuma Kaisarea akĩambata agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu.
When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
2 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na atongoria a Ayahudi magĩũka harĩ we, makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa Paũlũ aathitangĩirwo.
Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
3 Nĩmahĩkire gũthaitha Fesito atĩ nĩ ũndũ wa wega wake kũrĩ o etĩkĩre Paũlũ atwarwo Jerusalemu, nĩgũkorwo nĩmahaaragĩria kũmuoheria njĩra-inĩ mamũũrage.
and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
4 Nake Fesito akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Paũlũ ahingĩirwo Kaisarea, na niĩ nĩngũcooka kuo o narua.
Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
5 Tondũ ũcio no tũthiĩ na atongoria amwe anyu nĩgeetha mathiĩ magathitangĩre mũndũ ũcio kuo, angĩkorwo nĩ harĩ ũndũ mũũru ekĩte.”
Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
6 Thuutha wa gũikarania nao kũu ihinda ta rĩa mĩthenya ĩnana kana ikũmi, agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ Kaisarea, na mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ akĩgomithania igooti, na agĩathana Paũlũ areehwo mbere yake.
When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgemet seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
7 Rĩrĩa Paũlũ aakinyire, Ayahudi arĩa maikũrũkĩte kuuma Jerusalemu makĩmũrigiicĩria, na makĩmũthitangĩra maũndũ maingĩ mooru, marĩa matangĩahotire kuonania atĩ nĩ ma ma.
When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
8 Nake Paũlũ akĩĩyarĩrĩria, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndirĩ ũndũ njĩkĩte ũreganĩte na watho wa Ayahudi, o na kana wa hekarũ o na kana wa Kaisari.”
as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
9 Nake Fesito, akĩenda gũkenia Ayahudi akĩũria Paũlũ atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩ ũkwenda kwambata ũthiĩ Jerusalemu ngagũciirithĩrie kuo nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ maya ũthitangĩirwo?”
Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
10 Nake Paũlũ agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ndũgamĩte igooti-inĩ rĩa Kaisari, harĩa njagĩrĩirwo nĩ gũciirithĩrio. Niĩ ndihĩtĩirie Ayahudi, o ta ũrĩa wee mwene ũmenyete o wega.
Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
11 No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo ndĩ na ihĩtia rĩa gwĩka ũndũ o wothe wa gũtũma njũragwo-rĩ, ndingĩrega gũkua. No angĩkorwo maũndũ marĩa thitangĩirwo nĩ Ayahudi aya ti ma ma-rĩ, gũtikĩrĩ mũndũ ũrĩ na gĩtũmi gĩa kũũneana kũrĩ o. Ndacookia ciira riiko kũrĩ Kaisari!”
If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
12 Thuutha wa Fesito gũcookania ndundu na kĩama gĩake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wacookia ciira riiko kũrĩ Kaisari na kũrĩ Kaisari nĩkuo ũgũthiĩ!”
Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
13 Mĩthenya mĩnini yathira Mũthamaki Agiripa na Berinike magĩũka kũu Kaisarea kũnyiita Fesito ũgeni.
After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 Na tondũ nĩmaikaraga kũu mĩthenya mĩingĩ-rĩ, Fesito akĩhe mũthamaki ũcio ũhoro wa ciira wa Paũlũ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Gũkũ kũrĩ na mũndũ watigirwo nĩ Felike arĩ muohe.
And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto ye kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
15 Rĩrĩa ndaathiire Jerusalemu-rĩ, athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri a Ayahudi nĩmamũthitangire, na makĩnjũũria ndĩmũtuĩre.
about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
16 “Na niĩ ngĩmeera atĩ ti mũtugo wa andũ a Roma kũneana mũndũ o wothe ataambĩte kũngʼethanĩra na andũ arĩa mamũthitangĩte na kũheo mweke wa kwĩyarĩrĩria ũhoro-inĩ ũrĩa athitangĩirwo.
To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge ye cryme layde agaynst him:
17 Rĩrĩa tuokire nao gũkũ, ndiaikaririe ciira ũcio, no ndaarookire kũgomithania igooti na ngĩathana mũndũ ũcio areehwo.
whe they were come hidder wt out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and comaunded ye ma to be brought forthe.
18 Rĩrĩa andũ arĩa maamũthitangĩte maarũgamire kwaria, matiamũthitangĩire ũndũ o na ũmwe mũũru ta ũrĩa nderĩgĩrĩire.
Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
19 No handũ ha ũguo, o maarĩ na maũndũ mamwe maakararanagia nake makoniĩ ũhoro wa ndini yao na makoniĩ ũhoro wa mũndũ wakuĩte wetagwo Jesũ ũrĩa Paũlũ oigaga atĩ arĩ muoyo.
but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
20 Nĩndarigirwo nĩ ũrĩa ingĩtuĩria maũndũ ta macio; nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩmũũria kana no eende gũthiĩ Jerusalemu agaciirithĩrio maũndũ macio aathitangĩirwo kuo.
And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
21 Rĩrĩa Paũlũ aacookirie ciira riiko etererio itua rĩa Mũthamaki-rĩ, ngĩathana ahingĩrwo nginya rĩrĩa ingĩahotire kũmũtwarithia kũrĩ Kaisari.”
Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Agiripa akĩĩra Fesito atĩrĩ, “No nyende kwĩiguĩra mũndũ ũcio akĩaria.” Nake Fesito agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamũigua rũciũ.”
Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
23 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, Agiripa na Berinike magĩũka marĩ na mwago mũnene na magĩtoonya nyũmba ya gũciirĩrwo marĩ hamwe na anene a thigari o na athuuri a itũũra arĩa maarĩ igweta. Nake Fesito agĩathana Paũlũ areehwo.
And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
24 Fesito akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki Agiripa na andũ arĩa othe mũrĩ na ithuĩ haha, nĩmũkuona mũndũ ũyũ! Nĩwe mũingĩ wothe wa Ayahudi wanjũũririe, ndĩ kũu Jerusalemu na ndĩ gũkũ Kaisarea, ngaciire ũhoro wake, ũkĩanĩrĩra ũkiugaga atĩ ndagĩrĩirwo nĩgũtũũra muoyo rĩngĩ.
And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present wt vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
25 No niĩ nĩndonire atĩ ndarĩ ũndũ eekĩte wa gũtũma ooragwo, no tondũ nĩacookirie ciira riiko kũrĩ Mũthamaki, ngĩtua itua rĩa kũmũtũma Roma.
Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had comitted. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
26 No ndirĩ na ũndũ mũna ingĩandĩkĩra Mũthamaki Mũgaathe igũrũ rĩake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ndamũrehe mbere yanyu inyuothe, na makĩria mbere yaku wee Mũthamaki Agiripa, nĩgeetha ũhoro ũyũ warĩkia gũtuĩrio, ngĩe na ũndũ ingĩandĩka.
Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
27 Nĩgũkorwo ndikuona kwagĩrĩire gũtũma mũndũ muohe itekuonania maũndũ marĩa athitangĩirwo.”
For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
