प्रेरितों के काम 25
1 राज्यपाल पद का काम सम्भाळण के तीन दिन बाद फेस्तुस कैसरिया नगर तै यरुशलेम नगर म्ह गया।
Three days after arriving in the province, Festus went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
2 फेर प्रधान याजकां अर यहूदियाँ के खास माणसां नै उसकै स्याम्ही पौलुस की बुराई करी,
where the high priest and prominent Jewish men presented their case against Paul.
3 के वो खियास करकै पौलुस ताहीं यरुशलेम नगर भेजदे, असल म्ह उसकी तरकीब राह म्ह मौक्का देखकै पौलुस ताहीं मारण की थी।
Asking for a favor against Paul, they urged Festus to summon him to Jerusalem, because they were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.
4 फेस्तुस नै जवाब दिया, “पौलुस कैसरिया म्ह पहरे म्ह सै, अर मै आप्पे ए तावळ तै ओड़ै जाऊँगा।”
But Festus replied that Paul was being kept in custody in Caesarea, and that he himself was about to go there shortly.
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।”
“So,” he said, “let those among you who are influential go down with me, and if there is any fault in this man, they can bring charges against him.”
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।
After staying among them for more than ten days, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered Paul to be brought in.
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।
When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges against him that they could not 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।”
Then Paul said in his own defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I committed any offense.”
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?”
But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, responded to Paul, “Are yoʋ willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”
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।
Paul said, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to stand trial. I have done the Jews no wrong, as yoʋ yoʋrself know very well.
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 I am in the wrong and have done something that deserves death, I do not seek to escape death. But if none of the things these men accuse me of is true, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to 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।”
After conferring with the council, Festus answered, “Yoʋ have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar yoʋ shall go.”
13 कुछे दिन बीतण कै पाच्छै अग्रिप्पा राजा अर बिरनीके नै कैसरिया म्ह आकै फेस्तुस तै भेंट करी।
After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted 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।”
Since the king was staying there for several days, Festus presented Paul's case to him, saying, “There is a man who was left as 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।
When I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews presented their case and asked for a judgment 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।
I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand anyone over for destruction before the accused faces his accusers and has an opportunity to make his defense concerning the charges.
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।
So when they had assembled here, I did not postpone the case, but on the next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered the man to be brought in.
18 जिब उसके बैरी खड़े होए, तो उननै इसी गलत बात्तां की इल्जाम कोनी लाई, जिसा मै समझूँ था।
When his accusers stood up, they brought no charge against him of the sort I was expecting.
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।
Instead they had certain points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a man named Jesus who was dead, but whom Paul claimed was 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?
Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate this matter, I asked if he might be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges.
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।”
But Paul appealed to be kept in custody for the decision of His Majesty the Emperor, so I ordered him to be held until I could 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।”
Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear the man myself.” Festus said, “Tomorrow yoʋ will 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।
So the next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium along with the military commanders and the distinguished men of the city. Then Festus gave the command, and Paul was brought in.
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।
Festus said, “King Agrippa and all you men who are present with us, you see this man, concerning whom the entire Jewish community has appealed to me, both in Jerusalem and here in this place, crying out that he ought not 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 when I found that he had done nothing deserving death, and since he himself appealed to His Majesty the Emperor, 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।
Yet I have nothing definite to write to my lord about this man. Therefore I have brought him before you all, and especially before yoʋ, King Agrippa, so that after we have had this preliminary hearing, I may have something to write.
27 क्यूँके कैदी ताहीं खन्दाणा अर जो दोष उसपै लगाये सै, उन ताहीं न्ही बताणा, मन्नै खामखां लाग्या सै।”
For it seems unreasonable to me to send a prisoner without indicating the charges against him.”
