Mahi 25
1 No te taenga mai o Petuha ki te kawanatanga, ka toru nga ra, ka haere atu ia i Hiharia ki Hiruharama.
When Festus was come into the province after thre dayes he ascended fro Cesarea vnto Ierusalem.
2 Na ka korero te tohunga nui me nga rangatira o nga Hurai ki a ia mo Paora, ka tohe ki a ia,
Then enformed him the hye prestes and the chefe of the Iewes of Paul. And they besought him
3 Kia whakaaetia ta ratou mona, kia tikina atu ia ki Hiruharama, he whanga hoki to ratou mona kia whakamatea ki te ara.
and desired faveour agaynst him that he wold sende for him to Ierusalem: and layde awayte for him in the waye to kill him.
4 Otira ka whakahokia e Petuha, kei Hiharia a Paora e pupuri ana, a tera e hohoro tona haere ki reira.
Festus answered that Paul shuld be kept at Cesarea: but that he him selfe wold shortly departe thither.
5 I mea ano ia, Me haere tahi ano i ahau ki raro nga mea o koutou e whai mana ana, ki te whakawa i taua tangata, ki te mea he kino tona.
Let the therfore (sayd he) which amoge you are able to do it come doune with vs and accuse him if ther be eny faute in the man.
6 A ka noho ia i a ratou mo nga ra e waru, ngahuru ranei, na ka haere ki Hiharia; ao ake te ra ka noho ki te nohoanga whakawa, a ka mea kia arahina mai a Paora.
When he had taried there moare then ten dayes he departed vnto Cesarea and the nexte daye sate doune in the iudgemet seate and commaunded Paul to be brought.
7 A, no tona taenga atu, e tu ana tera nga Hurai i haere mai i Hiruharama, he maha, he nui nga he i whakapangia e ratou ki a Paora; heoi kihai i u ta ratou.
When he was come the Iewes which were come fro Ierusalem came aboute him and layde many and greveous complayntes agaynst Paul which they coulde not prove
8 A ka utua e Paora, Kahore rawa oku hara ki te ture a nga Hurai, kahore hoki ki te temepara, kahore ano ki a Hiha.
as longe as he answered for him selfe that he had nether agaynst the lawe of the Iewes nether agaynst the temple nor yet agaynst Cesar offended eny thinge at all.
9 Heoi ka mea a Petuha ki a Paora, i tona hiahia kia paingia e nga Hurai, E pai ana ranei koe kia haere ki Hiruharama, ki reira whakawakia ai mo enei mea ki toku aroaro?
Festus willinge to do the Iewes a pleasure answered Paul and sayde: wilt thou goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these thinges before me?
10 Ano ra ko Paora, E tu ana ahau ki te nohoanga whakawa o Hiha, hei reira tonu ahau whakawakia ai: kahore oku he ki nga Hurai, kua tino kitea na hoki e koe.
Then sayd Paul: I stonde at Cesars iudgemet seate where I ought to be iudged. To ye Iewes have I no harme done as thou verely well knowest.
11 Me he he toku, kua meinga ranei e ahau tetahi mea e tika ai te mate, e kore ahau e kino kia mate: tena ko tenei he teka nga mea e whakapangia nei e ratou ki ahau, e kore e ahei kia tukua ahau e tetahi ki a ratou. He karanga tenei naku ki a Hiha.
If I have hurte them or comitted eny thinge worthy of deeth I refuse not to dye. If none of these thinges are where of they accuse me no man owght to delyver me to them. I appeale vnto Cesar.
12 Na ka korerorero a Petuha ki te runanga, a ka mea, Kua karanga koe ki a Hiha: na me haere koe ki a Hiha.
Then spake Festus with deliberacion and answered. Thou hast appealed vnto Cesar: vnto Cesar shalt thou goo.
13 A muri iho i etahi ra, ka tae atu a Kingi Akaripa, raua ko Pereniki ki Hiharia, a ka oha ki a Petuha.
After a certayne dayes kinge Agrippa and Bernice came vnto Cesarea to salute Festus.
14 A, ka po maha raua e noho ana i reira, ka korerotia e Petuha ki te kingi te take mo Paora, ka mea, Tenei tetahi tangata i waiho iho e Pirika e here ana:
And when they had bene there a good ceason Festus rehersed Paules cause vnto ye kynge sayinge: ther is a certayne man left in preson of Felix
15 A, i ahau i Hiruharama, ka korerotia mai ia ki ahau e nga tohunga nui, e nga kaumatua o nga Hurai, ka tono ratou kia whakawakia ia.
about whom when I came to Ierusalem the hye prestes and elders of the Iewes enformed me and desyred to have iudgement agaynst him.
16 Na ko taku whakahokinga atu ki a ratou, Ehara i te ritenga na nga tangata o Roma kia tukua he tangata kia mate i te mea kiano i tutataki noa te tangata e whakawakia ana ki nga kaiwhakapae, i whai wahi ranei ki te whakahoki kupu ki te kupu whakaw a mona.
To whom I answered: It is not the maner of the Romayns to delyver eny man that he shuld perisshe before that he which is accused have the accusars before him and have licence to answer for him selfe concerninge ye cryme layde agaynst him:
17 No reira, i to ratou minenga mai ki konei, kihai ahau i whakaora; ao ake te ra ka noho ahau ki te nohoanga whakawa, ka mea kia arahina mai taua tangata.
whe they were come hidder wt out delaye on the morowe I sate to geve iudgement and comaunded ye ma to be brought forthe.
18 A, i te turanga o nga kaiwhakapae, kihai tetahi he o aku i whakaaro ai i korerotia e ratou mona:
Agaynst who when ye accusers stode vp they brought none accusacion of soche thinges as I supposed:
19 Heoi he kupu tautohetohe no ta ratou karakia ta ratou i mea ai ki a ia, ko tetahi Ihu ano i mate, e kiia ana hoki e Paora kei te ora.
but had certayne questions agaynst him of their awne supersticion and of one Iesus which was ded: whom Paul affirmed to be alyve.
20 Heoi pohewa noa iho ahau ki taua tautohe, ka mea hoki me kore ia e pai kia haere ki Hiruharama, ki reira whakawakia ai mo aua mea.
And be cause I douted of soche maner questions I axed him whyther he wolde goo to Ierusalem and there be iudged of these matters.
21 No te karangatanga a Paora kia waiho ia kia whakarangona tana e te Emepara, ka whakahaua e ahau kia puritia ia, kia tukua ra ano ia e ahau ki a Hiha.
Then when Paul had appealed to be kept vnto the knowledge of Cesar I commaunded him to be kept tyll I myght sende him to Cesar.
22 Ka mea a Akaripa ki a Petuha, E hiahia ana ano ahau kia rongo i taua tangata. Ka mea ia, Ko apopo koe rongo ai ki a ia.
Agrippa sayd vnto Festus: I wolde also heare ye man my selfe. To morowe (sayde he) thou shalt heare him.
23 Heoi, i te aonga ake, ka tae atu a Akaripa raua ko Pereniki, me nga whakapaipai maha, a tomo ana ki te whare whakarongo, ratou ko nga rangatira mano, ko nga tangata nunui o te pa, a ka whakahaua e Petuha, ka mauria mai a Paora.
And on ye morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with greate pompe and were entred into the counsell housse with the captaynes and chefe men of the cite at Festus commaundement Paul was brought forth.
24 Na ka mea a Petuha, E Kingi Akaripa, e nga tangata katoa hoki e noho nei tatou, ka kite koutou i tenei tangata, i tohe mai ai ki ahau te huihui katoa o nga Hurai i Hiruharama, i konei ano hoki, i karanga ai, ehara rawa i te tika kia waiho ia kia ora ana.
And Festus sayde: kynge Agrippa and all men which are heare present wt vs: ye se this man about whom all the multitude of the Iewes have bene with me both at Ierusalem and also here cryinge that he ought not to lyve eny lenger.
25 Otira i kite ahau, kahore ana mahi e tika ai te mate: a, i te mea nana ano i karanga ki te Emepara, ka mea ahau kia unga atu aia.
Yet founde I nothinge worthy of deeth that he had comitted. Neverthelesse seinge that he hath appealed to Cesar I have determined to sende him.
26 Kahore ia aku tino mea e tuhituhi atu ai ahau mona ki toku ariki. Koia ahau ka arahi mai nei i a ia ki a koutou, ki a koe rawa ano, e Kingi Akaripa, kia whai mea ai ahau hei tuhituhinga atu, ua mutu te uiui.
Of whom I have no certayne thinge to wryte vnto my lorde. Wherfore I have brought him vnto you and specially vnto the kynge Agrippa that after examinacion had I myght have sumwhat to wryte.
27 Ki taku hoki he mea he kia unga atu he herehere, a kia kaua hoki e korerotia te mea i whakawakia ai ia.
For me thynketh it vnreasonable for to sende a presoner and not to shewe the causes which are layde agaynst him.
