प्रेरितों के काम 25
1 राज्यपाल पद का काम सम्भाळण के तीन दिन बाद फेस्तुस कैसरिया नगर तै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह गया।
Then Festus having entered upon his office, after three days went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem;
2 फेर प्रधान याजकां अर यहूदियाँ के खास माणसां नै उसकै स्याम्ही पौलुस की बुराई करी,
and both the chief priests and the first men of the Jews appeared before him against Paul, and continued to entreat him,
3 के वो खियास करकै पौलुस ताहीं यरुशलेम नगर भेजदे, असल म्ह उसकी तरकीब राह म्ह मौक्का देखकै पौलुस ताहीं मारण की थी।
asking favor against him, in order that he might send him to Jerusalem, making a plot to kill him on the road.
4 फेस्तुस नै जवाब दिया, “पौलुस कैसरिया म्ह पहरे म्ह सै, अर मै आप्पे ए तावळ तै ओड़ै जाऊँगा।”
Then indeed Festus responded, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and himself was about to go away quickly:
5 फेर बोल्या, “थारे म्ह जो अधिकार राक्खै सै वे गैल चाल्लै, अर जै इस माणस नै किमे गलत काम करया सै तो उसपै इल्जाम लावै।”
Then, says he, Let the influential ones among you, coming down, accuse him, if there is anything wrong in the man.
6 उनकै बिचाळै कोए आठ-दस दिन रहकै फेस्तुस कैसरिया चल्या गया, अर दुसरे दिन न्याय-गद्दी पै बैठकै पौलुस ताहीं ल्याण का हुकम दिया।
And having tarried with them not more than eight or ten days, having come down to Caesarea, on the following day, sitting on the tribunal, he commanded that Paul should be brought forth.
7 जिब वो आया तो जो यहूदी अगुवें यरुशलेम नगर तै आये थे, उननै लोवै-धोवै खड़े होकै उसपै घणे भारया दोष लगाये, जिनका सबूत वे कोनी दे सकै थे।
And he being present, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him charges many and heavy, which they were not able to prove.
8 पर पौलुस नै जवाब दिया, “मन्नै ना तो यहूदियाँ के नियम-कायदे कै अर ना मन्दर कै, अर ना ए कैसर कै बिरुध्द कोए अपराध करया सै।”
And Paul apologizing, that Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I done anything wrong.
9 फेर फेस्तुस नै यहूदी अगुवां ताहीं राज्जी करण के मकसद तै पौलुस तै कह्या, “के तू चाहवै सै के यरुशलेम नगर नै जावै, अर ओड़ै मेरै स्याम्ही तेरा यो मुकद्दमा तय करया जावै?”
And Festus, wishing to confer a gratification on the Jews, responding to Paul, said, Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, there to be judged by me concerning these things?
10 पौलुस नै कह्या, “मै कैसर कै न्याय-गद्दी कै स्याम्ही खड्या सूं, मेरै मुकद्दमे फैसला उरैए होणा चाहिये। जिसा तन्नै आच्छी ढाळ बेरा सै, यहूदियाँ का मन्नै किमे अपराध कोनी करया।
And Paul said, I am standing at the tribunal of Caesar, where it behooves me to be judged. To the Jews I have done nothing wrong, as you indeed well know.
11 जै मै अपराधी सूं अर मारण कै जोग्गा कोए काम करया सै, तो मरण तै कोनी नाटदा, पर जिन बात्तां की ये मेरै पै इल्जाम लावै सै, जै उन म्ह तै कोए भी बात साच्ची न्ही लिकड़ी, तो कोए मेरै ताहीं उनकै हाथ्थां न्ही सौंप सकदा। मै कैसर की दुहाई द्यु सूं।”
If therefore I indeed am guilty of unrighteousness, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die: but if nothing of these things of which they accuse me is true, no man is able to gratify them (by my death): I appeal unto Caesar.
12 फेर फेस्तुस नै मन्त्रियाँ की सभा कै गेल्या बात करकै जवाब दिया, “तन्नै कैसर की दुहाई दी सै, तू कैसर कै ए धोरै जावैगा।”
Then Festus, having spoken with the council, responded, Thou hast appealed unto Caesar; thou shalt go unto Caesar.
13 कुछे दिन बीतण कै पाच्छै अग्रिप्पा राजा अर बिरनीके नै कैसरिया म्ह आकै फेस्तुस तै भेंट करी।
And some days having passed away, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea, saluting Festus.
14 उनकै घणे दिन ओड़ै रहण कै पाच्छै फेस्तुस नै पौलुस कै बारै म्ह राजा ताहीं बताया “एक माणस सै, जिस ताहीं फेलिक्स कैदी छोड़ ग्या सै।”
And while they were spending many days there, Festus expounded to the king the matters appertaining to Paul, saying, A certain man has been left a prisoner by Felix:
15 जिब मै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह था, तो प्रधान याजक अर यहूदिया परदेस के यहूदी अगुवां नै उसकी बुराई करी अर चाह्या के उसपै दण्ड का हुकम होवै।
concerning whom, I being in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews appeared before me, asking condemnation against him;
16 पर मन्नै उन ताहीं जवाब दिया के रोमियों की या रीत कोनी के किसे माणस ताहीं सजा कै खात्तर सौंप देवै, जिब ताहीं मुजरिम ताहीं अपणे बैरियाँ कै स्याम्ही खड़े होकै दोष का जवाब देण का मौक्का ना मिलै।
to whom I responded, that it is not the customs to the Romans to slay any man gratuitously, before that the accused may have his accusers face to face, and receive a place of defence concerning the charge.
17 आखर जिब वे कठ्ठे होए, तो मन्नै किमे वार कोनी करी, पर दुसरे ए दिन न्याय-गद्दी पै बैठकै उस माणस ताहीं ल्याण का हुकम दिया।
Then they, having come together to this place, making no delay, immediately sitting on the judgment-seat, I commanded that the man should be led forth;
18 जिब उसके बैरी खड़े होए, तो उननै इसी गलत बात्तां की इल्जाम कोनी लाई, जिसा मै समझूँ था।
concerning whom his accusers standing by, brought no evil charge of those things which I supposed:
19 पर वे अपणे पंथ कै अर यीशु नाम किसे माणस कै बारै म्ह, जो मरग्या था अर पौलुस उस ताहीं जिन्दा बतावै था, बहस करै थे।
but they had certain questions against him concerning their own religion, and about a certain Jesus, who is dead, whom Paul was saying that He is alive.
20 मै उळझन म्ह था के इन बात्तां का बेरा किस ढाळ लाऊँ? ज्यांतै मन्नै उसतै बुझ्झया, के तू यरुशलेम नगर जावैगा के ओड़ै इन बात्तां का फैसला होवै?
And I, being at a loss as to the question concerning these things, asked him if he is willing to go to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things.
21 पर जिब पौलुस नै दुहाई देई के “उसकै मुकद्दमे का फैसला सम्राट कै उरै हो, तो मन्नै हुकम दिया के जिब तक उस ताहीं कैसर कै धोरै न्ही भेज्जू, उस ताहीं हिरासत म्ह राख्या जावै।”
And Paul having demanded that he should be kept for the diagnosis of Augustus, I demanded that he should be kept until I shall send him to Caesar.
22 फेर अग्रिप्पा नै फेस्तुस तै कह्या, “मै भी उस माणस की सुणणा चाहूँ सूं।” उसनै कह्या, “तू काल सुण लेवैगा।”
And Agrippa said to Festus, I myself also would wish to hear the man. He says, To-morrow you shall hear him.
23 आखर म्ह दुसरे दिन जिब अग्रिप्पा अर बिरनीके बड्डी धूम-धड़ाकै तै आये अर पलटन के सरदारां अर नगर के खास आदमियाँ कै गेल्या दरबार म्ह पोहचे। फेर फेस्तुस नै हुकम दिया के वे पौलुस ताहीं ली यावै।
Then on the following day, Agrippa and Bernice having come with great pomp, and entering into the auditorium, along with the chiliarchs, and chief men of the city, and, Festus commanding, Paul was led forth.
24 फेस्तुस नै कह्या, “हे राजा अग्रिप्पा, अर हे सारे माणसों जो उरै म्हारै गेल्या सो, थम इस माणस नै देक्खो सो, जिसकै बारै म्ह सारे यहूदियाँ नै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह अर उरै भी रुक्के मार-मारकै मेरै तै बिनती करी के इसका जिन्दा रहणा सही कोनी।
And Festus says, O king Agrippa, and all ye men present with us, you see this man, concerning whom the whole multitude of the Jews is besieging me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that it does not behoove him to live any longer.
25 पर मन्नै बेरा पाट लिया के उसनै इसा किमे कोनी करया के मार दिया जा, अर जिब के उसनै आप्पे ए सम्राट की दुहाई दी, तो मन्नै उस ताहीं खन्दाण का फैसला करया।
But I discovered that he had done nothing worthy of death, however he himself appealing to Caesar, I decided to send him.
26 मन्नै उसकै बारै म्ह कोए पक्की बात कोनी पाई के अपणे माल्लिक कै धोरै लिखूँ। ज्यांतै मै उस ताहीं थारे स्याम्ही अर खासकर हे राजा अग्रिप्पा तेरे स्याम्ही ल्याया सूं के जाँचे पाच्छै मन्नै किमे लिखण का मौक्का मिलै।
Concerning whom I have nothing definite to write to my lord; therefore I have led him to you, and especially to thee, O king Agrippa, in order that, there being an investigation, I may have something which I shall write;
27 क्यूँके कैदी ताहीं खन्दाणा अर जो दोष उसपै लगाये सै, उन ताहीं न्ही बताणा, मन्नै खामखां लाग्या सै।”
for it seems to me to be unreasonable, sending a prisoner, and not to signify charges against him.
