Jesu Tondiba Tuona 25
1 Festusi ń pundi diema nni, lan tieni dana taa, wan ńa Cesare, ki gedi Jerusalema.
Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
2 juufi salga yidciamo yeni bi yikodanba ń cua o kani ki waani o ke bi pia mi maama yeni Pɔli, ki bua ban jia ti buudi yeni o. ki mɔndi ki niidi Festusi ke wan cengi bi maama.
Then the cohen hagadol and the principal men of the Judeans informed him against Paul, and they urged him,
3 Bi den mia o u sanu ke wan tuo ban janbi Pɔli; ke wan cedi ban taa o ki gedi yeni o Jerusalema, yeni bi ba fidi ki kpa o u sanu po.
asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem; plotting to kill him on the way.
4 Ama Festusi den ŋmiani ba ke Pɔli tie kpaadli i ki ye Sesare kpaadidieli nni, ke wani mɔko ba gani lipo.
However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
5 Ke lanwani ii, yaaba n bua ba fidi ki ŋɔdi o ban gedi lipo. Ke li ya tie ke bi pia jalgi bá Pɔli po, bi ba fidi ki waani o tagli.
"Let them therefore," he said, "that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him."
6 Festusi ki tieni likani ke li pendi dana niin bii piiga, ki fii ki jiidi kigedi Sesare, wan pundi ke li fandi, ke o kali ti buudi diegu nni, ki cedi ke bi taa Pɔli ki cua yeni o
When he had stayed among them more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
7 Pɔli ń pundi, Jerusalema Juufinba yaaba n ye likani ń jalgi o boncianla, ki waani wan pia yatagli ama ke kasiedi naa ye.
When he had come, the Judeans who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
8 Pɔli ń maadi ki fie o yuli ki yedi, “N naa tieni yaali n bia Juufinba yiko po, bii ku jaandiegu po lanyaaka Sesari po.”
while he said in his defense, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all."
9 Ama Festusi den bua wan mangi Juufinba pali, ki buali Pɔli, “A ba fidi ki do ki gedi Jerusalema ban buu a maama ne lipo n nintuali?”
But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Judeans, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be judged by me there concerning these things?"
10 Pɔli ń yedi, “N ye o badciamo Sesari buudieli kani, ki guu ke ban buu nni lankani i. Mii pia tagli bakuli Juufinba po nani fini aba ń bani maama bonŋanla.
But Paul said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Judeans, as you also know very well.
11 Ama li ya tie ke n tudi, bá ki tieni yaali ke li buali n kuuma, N naa jie min kpe. Ama ban jalgi nni yaali ya po ya ki tuagi sanu, nilo bakuli kan taa nni ki mubni bi nuu nni. N suagi n buudi Sesari po i.”
For if I have done wrong, and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar."
12 Festusi den kali ki juogi yeni o juogikaaba li maama po, ki jiini Pɔli, ki yedi, “A yedi ke a suagi a buudi Sesari kani, bi ba buu a lankani i!”
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go."
13 Lan tieni dana waamu, ke o bado Agripa yeni Berenisi cua Sesare ki bua cani Festusi.
Now when some days had passed, Agrippa the King and Bernice arrived at Caesarea, and greeted Festus.
14 Ban tieni dana waamu, ke Festusi taa Pɔli maama ki waani o bado, ki maadi, “Feliksi den cedi ke bi taa niloba ki cua yeni o ne ke o tie kpaadli.
As they stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying, "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
15 Min den gedi Jerusalema, Juufinba salga yidkaaba yeni bi cancannikpelba den jalgi li nilo boncianla, ki mia ke ban buu ki cuo o, ki kpa o
about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief cohanim and the Jewish elders informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
16 Ke n mo jiini ba ke laa puni sanu ke Roma yaaba ń taa nilo ki mubni o o yibala nui nni ke baa buni o ki puni o u sanu ke o ba maadi ki fie o yuli ti buudi kani.
To whom I answered that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up anyone before the accused has met the accusers face to face, and has had opportunity to make his defense against the charge.
17 Ama ban taani ki cua ne, mii guudi dana, li fiifandi ke n cedi ke bi taa o ki cua yeni o ti buudi kaanu.
When therefore they had come together here, I did not delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought.
18 Ban den fii ki jalgi o, ki waani wan pia ya tagli kuli, maamɔnma bakuli naa den ye.
Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such things as I supposed;
19 Ban nia ya maama po tie bi jaandi sanu maama i, yeni niloba ke bi yii o Jesu, ke o den kpe, ama ke Pɔli wani nan yedi ke o fo.
but had certain questions against him about their own religion, and about one Yeshua, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 Mii den bani min ba kpaagi lanya maama maama, ke n buali o o ya ba tuo ki gedi Jerusalema ban buu o maama lanpo.
Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
21 Ama Pɔli ń den yedi ke o baa ye li kpaadidieli nni, ke o suagi o maama o badciamo Sesari buudi kaanu, n den yedi o ke wan ya ye likani ki guu hali min ba taa o ki sɔni o Sesari kani.
But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar."
22 Agripa den yedi Festusi, “N moko bua min cengi li nilo maama.” Festusi ń jiini o “cedi saala” “Aba cengi o maama.”
Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself." "Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."
23 Lanwani ii, lan fandi, Agripa yeni Berenisi den bobi bi tiakpiagdi ki cua ti buudi kaanu yeni sejenba yeni u dogu yikodanba. Festusi den cedi ke bi taa Pɔli ki cua yeni o bikani.
So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
24 Festusi den yedi, “O Bado Agripa yeni yinba ya nikpiaga n ye yeni ti ne, I la ya nilo ne ee; Jerusalema Juufinba yeni nekanba yaaba la nni ki yigni ki tua ke waa dagdi wan go ya pia miali.
And Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all people who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25 N diidi ki sua ke waa tieni yaali n dagdi yeni mi kuuma; ama wani mɔno ń suagi o maama O Badciamo kani yeni, n ba taa o ki mubni o o badciamo nui nni.
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.
26 Ama mii bani min ba diani yaali cima li tisɔnkaali nni, ki teni o badciamo, lani n cedi ke n cedi ke bi cua yeni o i kani o bado Agripa, ke ŋan todi nni min fidi ki diani yaali n tiegi li maama po
Of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him forth before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination, I may have something to write.
27 Kelima laa tuagi sanu ke min sɔni kpaadli kaa diani ki waani ban jalgi o ya maama po fuuli.
For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him."
