Oihana 25
1 A HIKI ae la o Peseto i ua panalaau la, a hala na la ekolu, a pii aku la ia i Ierusalema, mai Kaisareia aku.
Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.
2 A o ke kahuna nui a me ka poe koikoi o na Iudaio, hoopii aku la lakou no Paulo ia ia, nonoi aku la,
Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
3 A koi aku no hoi ia ia i ka lokomaikai ku e ia ia e kii aku kela ia ia, e hele mai i Ierusalema; e hoohalua ana lakou ma ke alanui e pepehi ia ia.
And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
4 I mai la o Peseto, ma Kaisareia e malamaia'i o Paulo, a oia iho no e hoi koke aku ilaila.
But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly [thither].
5 I hou mai la ia, O ka poe e hiki o oukou, e iho pu lakou me au; ina he mea hewa iloko o ia kanaka, e hoopii lakou nona.
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with [me], and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
6 A noho iho la ia me lakou i na la he umi paha a keu, alaila, iho ae la ia i Kaisareia; a ia la ae, noho iho la ia ma ka noho hookolokolo, a kena aku la ia e kaiia mai o Paulo.
And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
7 A hiki mai la ia, ku mai la ka poe Iudaio, i iho mai mai Ierusalema mai, a hoopii aku la ia Paulo i na mea hewa, he nui loa, aole hoi i hiki ia lakou ke hooiaio mai.
And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
8 Olelo iho la ia nona iho, Aole loa au i lawehala ma ke kanawai o na Iudaio, aole hoi ma ka luakini, aole hoi i ko Kaisara.
While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar, have I offended any thing at all.
9 No ka makemake ana o Peseto, e lokomaikai aku i na Iudaio, ninau aku la kela ia Paulo, i aku la, Ke makemake nei anei oe e pii i Ierusalema, a malaila e hookolokoloia'i e au, ma keia mau mea?
But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
10 Alaila, olelo mai o Paulo, Ke ku nei au ma ka noho hookolokolo o Kaisara, i kahi kupono e hookolokoloia mai ai au: aole au i lawehala i na Iudaio, ua ike pono no oe.
Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
11 Ina i hewa au, a ina i hana au i ka mea e pono ai ka make, aole au e hoole aku i ka make; aka, ina he mea ole keia mau mea a lakou e hoopii mai nei ia'u, aole loa e hiki i kekahi ke haawi aku ia'u ia lakou. Ke hoopii nei au ia Kaisara.
For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
12 Alaila, kamailio iho la o Peseto me ka poe ahaolelo, i aku la ia, Ua hoopii oe ia Kaisara, ea! ia Kaisara oe e hele ai.
Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
13 A hala ae la kekahi mau la, hiki mai la i Kaisareia, o Ageripa, ke alii laua me Berenike e aloha mai ia Peseto.
And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cæsarea to salute Festus.
14 A nui na la a laua i noho ai ilaila, hai aku la o Peseto i ua alii la i na mea a Paulo, i aku la, Ua waihopaaia mai nei kekahi kanaka e Pelika;
And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
15 I ka wa a'u ma Ierusalema, hai mai la na kahuna nui a me na lunakahiko o na Iudaio ia'u nona, koi mai la lakou e hoahewaia oia.
About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], desiring [to have] judgment against him.
16 I aku la au ia lakou, Aole ia o ko Roma aoao, ke haawi aku i kekahi kanaka e make, me ka halawai maka ole o ka mea i hoopiiia, a me ka poe e hoopii mai, a aeia'ku ia e olelo mai nona iho ma na mea i hoopiiia mai nona.
To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
17 A hiki mai la lakou ia nei, aole au i kali hou aku; ia la ae, noho au ma ka noho hookolokolo, a kena aku la e kaiia mai ua kanaka la.
Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
18 A ku mai la ka poe hoopii ia ia, aole lakou i hoike mai i kekahi mea e like me ko'u manao mua:
Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
19 He mau ninau nae ko lakou no ko lakou hoomana ana, e hoopii mai ia ia, a no kekahi Iesu, ka mea i make, a ua hai mai o Paulo, ua ola.
But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20 A i ko'u kanalua ana no keia hoopaapaa ana, ninau aku la au, Ke makemake nei anei oe e hele i Ierusalema, a malaila e hookolokoloia'i, no keia mau mea?
And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked [him] whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
21 A i ka Paulo hoopii ana e waihoia'i oia no ka hookolokolo mai o Auguseto, kauoha aku la au e malamaia oia, a hoouna aku au ia ia io Kaisara la.
But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cæsar.
22 Alaila, i ae la o Ageripa ia Peseto, Owau no kekahi e hoolohe aku i na kanaka la. I mai la kela, Apopo e lohe oe ia ia,
Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
23 A ia la ae, hiki mai la o Ageripa, laua me Berenike, me ka hanobano nui, a komo aku la i kahi hoolohe, me na lunatausani, a me na kanaka koikoi o ia kulanakauhale, alaila, kauoha aku o Peseto a kaiia mai o Paulo.
And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
24 A olelo ae la o Peseto, E ke alii, e Ageripa e, a me na kanaka a pau me kakou, Ke ike nei oukou i keia kanaka a ka poe Iudaio ma Ierusalema, a maanei no hoi i hoopii mai ai ia'u, a me ke kahea ana, aole ia e pono ke ola hou aku.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and [also] here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
25 A ike aku la au, aole ia i hana i ka mea e pono ai ka make, a nana iho i hoopii aku ia Auguseto, manao paa au e hoouna aku ia ia ilaila.
But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
26 Aole a'u mea e palapala aku ai nona i ko'u haku. No ia mea, ua kai mai au ia ia imua o oukou nei, a imua no hoi ou, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, i loaa ia'u kekahi mea e palapala aku ai, mahope o keia hookolokolo ana.
Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
27 No ka mea, aole e pono i ko'u manao ke hoouna aku i ke kanaka paa, me ka hoike ole aku i ka hewa ana i hoopiiia mai ai.
For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes [laid] against him.
