Katuma 25
1 Ana sa, Festus ma eh anyimo una uribe uni pin me sa na ra atari timeme, sa tiye ti taru ta aki, ma dusa uKaseriya uka aka Urishalima.
And so, when Festus had arrived in the province, after three days, he ascended to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
2 Unu dang uka tuma udenge Asere nan a re anu anyimo ayahudawa wa eh in bi bukum bi Bulus ahira a Festus
And the leaders of the priests, and those first among the Jews, went to him against Paul. And they were petitioning him,
3 . A gi ma gu, Bulus ma eh a Urishalima bati wa kem unaa u huna ume.
asking for favor against him, so that he would order him to be led to Jerusalem, where they were maintaining an ambush in order to kill him along the way.
4 Ba Festus kabirka we magu a impi Bulus u Kasariya, me in haza ukuro abini ne a, ana me.
But Festus responded that Paul was to be kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would soon go there.
5 Barki ani me, an desa wa daki,”wa gu,”wa tarsa duru. Ingi ya ira iri mum i buri ahira unu me, idiku wuzi ni eru nishi me. t
“Therefore,” he said, “let those among you who are able, descend at the same time, and if there is any guilt in the man, they may accuse him.”
6 Ma ciki abini me tiye uwititari uhana tiye ukirau, ma kuri uhana Ukasariya.
Then, having stayed among them no more than eight or ten days, he descended to Caesarea. And on the next day, he sat in the judgment seat, and he ordered Paul to be led in.
7 Sa ma biki, a Yahudawa u Urishalima wa tonno mamu nan me, wa ezin in bibukum gwardan bige sa da ba zin ma saa ba.
And when he had been brought, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, throwing out many serious accusations, none of which they were able to prove.
8 Ba Bulus ma buki tize ti bura uni ce nume, da ma ira imum ibur ya Yahudawa ba, da ma ira imum iburu anyimo udenge Asere ba, daki ma kuru ma ira imum iburu ahira Kayisar ba, nyanini ma wuza.
Paul offered this defense: “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any matter.”
9 Festus ma nyari u tarsa ta Yahudawa, ma kabirka Bulus magu me, unyara tarsum uhan Urushalima me inka boo tize tuwe me bini me
But Festus, wanting to show greater favor to the Jews, responded to Paul by saying: “Are you willing to ascend to Jerusalem and to be judged there about these things before me?”
10 . Ba Bulus ma gu,”ma tonno aje ukponku uti Gomo ti Kyisar abuu tize me da akem ma wuna a Yahudawa mum ba hume urusa.
But Paul said: “I stand in Caesar’s tribunal, which is where I ought to be judged. I have done no harm to the Jews, as you well know.
11 Bulus magu, ingi ma wuza ire mum ibur nani ma wuza imun gebe sa ya bari iwono, in da gam in wee ba. ingi bibukum bu we bini ahira hura ani, da ma ira de sa madi nyawe mi, ma tita anyimo ani za ni kayisar.
For if I have harmed them, or if I have done anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying. But if there is nothing to these things about which they accuse me, no one is able to deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
12 Ba festus ma buu tize nan ana katuma ka meme, magu, ma tita anyimo niza ni kayisar, madi ha ahira a kayisar.
Then Festus, having spoken with the council, responded: “You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go.”
13 Tiye cingilinti aki, Ogmo Agripa wan Bernice wa eh Ukaseriya ahira u orno uwe me uFestus.
And when some days had passed, king Agrippa and Bernice descended to Caesarea, to greet Festus.
14 Bulus ma ra abini me inti ye gwardan, Festus ma en Bulus ahira aroni me, magu we Felix ma ceki unu ugeme abame anyimo Ukorso.
And since they remained there for many days, Festus spoke to the king about Paul, saying: “A certain man was left behind as a prisoner by Felix.
15 Uganiya mara aUrishalima, un dandang ukatuma udenge Asere wan anu tarsa umeme anyimo a Yahudawa wa eh imalin mu nu geme ahira am, wa iki una uhuna u me.
When I was at Jerusalem, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the Jews came to me about him, asking for condemnation against him.
16 Ba ma gun we, a utanda wa yahudawa uni a nya unu ani me, barki ani me adi muti de sa a zin malin mame nan an de sa wa aye in malin me nani ma kyem ma buki tize tu bura uni ce nu meme.
I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before he who is being accused has been confronted by his accusers and has received the opportunity to defend himself, so as to clear himself of the charges.
17 Barki ani me, sa wa orno ahira am sarki ucara uganiya, ni ye ni kure in cukuno ukponku uti gomho in wu a en in nu nume anyimo.
Therefore, when they had arrived here, without any delay, on the following day, sitting in the judgment seat, I ordered the man to be brought.
18 Sa ana bibukum wa hiri wa buu bibukum me, in gusi nani wa zin in tize ti ka dure kani ahira unu me.
But when the accusers had stood up, they did not present any accusation about him from which I would suspect evil.
19 A, anime in iri tize tuwe me ta zome in ma saa ba, agi ma buu tizee ti bur asesere a uwe utanda me nan abanga iwono i Yesu sa Bulus ma inki iribani.
Instead, they brought against him certain disputes about their own superstition and about a certain Jesus, who had died, but whom Paul asserted to be alive.
20 Madiri imum i buka utize me ban, gume nani madi ha Urushalima waka buu tizee meni.
Therefore, being in doubt about this kind of question, I asked him if he was willing go to Jerusalem and to be judged there about these things.
21 Ba a titi Bulus aka impo kasi ubuka me unu dang mi ingu me hana uka uwui ge sa ma tuburko we ahira kayisar.
But since Paul was appealing to be kept for a decision before Augustus, I ordered him to be kept, until I might send him to Caesar.”
22 Agrippa ma gu, in festus, indi nyari u kuna utize ti nume, “Nisizo,”festus magu,”uda kunname,”.
Then Agrippa said to Festus: “I myself also want to hear the man.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
23 Sa, ahira sani, Agrippa wan Bernice wa eh nan nanu gwardan, wa eh anyimo anikubu ni tize me wanu unu cati uni pin udang nan nanu adang anipin me. Sa Festus ma guna a eh me, aka heze Bulus.
And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had arrived with great ostentation and had entered into the auditorium with the tribunes and the principal men of the city, Paul was brought in, at the order of Festus.
24 Festus magu Ogomo Agrippa, wan vat adesa wa zi na haru abame, ya irani unu ugeme, vat anu Uyahudawa wa han me a Urishalima nan a ba me, ba wa yeze a nyiran wagu nun ugeme ca a huu me.
And Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present together with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews disturbed me at Jerusalem, petitioning and clamoring that he should not be allowed to live any longer.
25 Ba ma iri da ma wuna imum sa ya bari u huu na ba, barki sa anu dang ma titi me. Barki barki ani me aka aye me ahira Ogomo Agrippa. Barki in kem imum sa adi nyetike anyimo atize me.
Truly, I have discovered nothing brought forth against him that is worthy of death. But since he himself has appealed to Augustus, it was my judgment to send him.
26 Me da ma ira ma saa ba in tuburko unu wa ka kurso sarki u ira, azenzeng amem.
But I have not determined what to write to the emperor about him. Because of this, I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, O king Agrippa, so that, once an inquiry has occurred, I may have something to write.
27 Barki u ira um i babana ini a tumum ahira avana Ugomo azo u ira imum be sa ma wuna ba.
For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to indicate the accusations set against him.”
