प्रेरित 25
1 अब, फेस्तस त्यस प्रान्तमा प्रवेश गरेको तीन दिनपछि, उनी कैसरियाबाट यरूशलेमस पुगे ।
Festus therefore having arrived in the province after three days he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,
2 प्रधान पूजाहारी र विशिष्ट यहूदीहरूले फेस्तसकहाँ पावलका विरुद्ध अभियोगहरू प्रस्तुत गरे, र तिनीहरूले फेस्तससँग कडा रूपमा कुरा गरे ।
Made a presentation (then *N(k)O*) before him (the *N(k)O*) (chief priests *N(K)O*) and the chiefs of the Jews against Paul and they were begging him
3 र तिनीहरूले पावलको विषयमा सहायताको निम्ति फेस्तससँग अनुरोध गरे, कि तिनले उनलाई यरूशलेममा बोलाउन्, ताकि तिनीहरूले उनलाई बाटोमा नै मर्न सकून् ।
asking a favor against him, that he may summon him to Jerusalem, an ambush forming to execute him on the way.
4 तर पावल कैसरियाको कैदी थिए, र तिनी आफैँ पनि चाँडै त्यहाँ फर्कनु थियो भनी फेस्तसले जवाफ दिए ।
Indeed therefore Festus answered that is to be kept Paul (in Caesarea, *N(k)O*) he himself however ensuing with speed to set out;
5 उनले भने “यसकारण जान सक्नेहरू हामीसँगै जानुपर्छ । यदि त्यो मनिसमा कुनै गल्ती छन् भने, तिमीहरूले दोष लगाउनुपर्छ ।”
Those therefore among you he says [in] power having gone down too, if anything there is in the man wrong, they should accuse him.
6 आठ वा दश दिन अझ बसेपछि फेस्तस कैसरियातिर गए । र अर्को दिन उनी न्यायको आसनमा बसे र पावललाई तिनीकहाँ ल्याइयोस् भनी आदेश दिए ।
Having spent then with them days (not *NO*) more (than eight *NO*) or ten, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat he commanded Paul to be brought.
7 जब उनी आइपुगे यरूशलेमका यहूदीहरू नजिकै उभिए र तिनीहरूले साबित नै गर्न नसक्ने गम्भीर अभियोगहरू ल्याए ।
When was arriving then he they stood around (him *NO*) the from Jerusalem having come down Jews many and weighty charges (presenting *N(k)O*) (concerning Paul *K*) which not they were able to prove,
8 पावलले आफ्नो बचाउ गरे र भने, “यहूदीहरूको नामको विरुद्ध होइन, नत कुनै मन्दिरको विरुद्धमा र न त कैसरको विरुद्धमा, मैले कसैको विरुद्धमा गल्ति गरेको छैनँ ।”
(Paul *no*) was presenting a defense (of him *k*) that Neither [I sinned] against the law of the Jews nor [I sinned] against the temple nor against Caesar [in] anything have I sinned.
9 तर फेस्तसले यहूदीको समर्थन पाउन चाहन्थे र उनले पावललाई जवाफ दिए र भने, “के तिमी यरूशलेम गएर यी कुराहरूको इन्साफ मद्वारा गरिएको चाहन्छौ?”
Festus however wishing from the Jews a favor to lay, answering Paul said; Are you willing to Jerusalem having gone up there concerning these things (to be judged *N(k)O*) before me?
10 पावलले भने, “म कैसरको न्यायको आसनको सामु खडा छु, जहाँ मेरो इन्साफ गरिनुपर्छ । जसरी तपाईंलाई पनि थाहा छ कि मैले कुनै पनि यहूदीलाई खराबी गरेको छैनँ ।
Said then Paul; Before the judgment seat of Caesar standing I am, where me it behooves to be judged. To [the] Jews no [thing] (I have done wrong, *NK(o)*) as also you yourself very well know;
11 तैपनि यदि मैले गल्ती गरेको छु र यदि मैले मृत्युको योग्य केही कुरा गरेको छु भने, म मर्नलाई इन्कार गर्दिनँ । तर यदि तिनीहरूका आरोपहरू केही पनि छैनन् भने, कसैले पनि मलाई तिनीहरूको हातमा सुम्पन सक्दैन । म कैसरलाई गुहार्छु ।
If indeed (therefore *N(k)O*) I do wrong and worthy of death have done anything, not I do refuse to die; If however no [thing] there is of which they [can] accuse me, no [one] me can to them giving up. To Caesar I appeal!
12 त्यसपछि फेस्तसले परिषद्मा कुरा गरे र जवाफ दिए, “तिमीले कैसरसँग गुहार माग्यौ; तिमी कैसरकहाँ नै जानेछौ ।”
Then Festus having conferred with the Council answered; To Caesar You have appealed, to Caesar you will go!
13 अब केही दिनपछि राजा अग्रिपा र बर्निकी कैसरियामा फेस्तसलाई कामकाजी भेटघाट गर्न आइपुगे ।
When days now having passed some Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea (greeting *N(k)O*) Festus.
14 उनी त्यहाँ धेरै दिनसम्म बसेपछि, फेस्तसले पावलका मुद्दाहरू राजाका अघि प्रस्तुत गरे । तिनले भने, “फेलिक्सले एक जना मानिसलाई कैदीको रूपमा छोडेका थिए ।
As now many days (they were staying *NK(o)*) there, Festus to the king laid before the [things] relating to Paul saying; A man certain there is left by Felix [as] a prisoner,
15 जब म यरूशलेममा थिएँ, मुख्य पूजाहारी र यहूदीहरूका अगुवाहरूले यो मानिसको विरुद्ध मकहाँ आरोपहरू ल्याए, र तिनीहरूले उसको विरुद्ध दण्डको लागि अनुरोध गरे ।
concerning whom having been of me in Jerusalem made a presentation the chief priests and the elders of the Jews asking against him (penalty; *N(k)O*)
16 यसमा मैले यस्तो जवाफ दिएँ, “एउटा मानिसलाई कृपाको रूपमा कसैलाई सुम्पने रोमी प्रचलन छैन, बरु, दोष लगाइएको मानिसले उसलाई दोष लगाउनेहरूको सामना गर्न र आरोपहरूको विरुद्ध बचाउ गर्ने मौका पाउनु पर्छ ।”
to whom I answered that not it is [the] custom with Romans to give up any man (into punishment *K*) before than the [one] being accused to face he would be [able] the accusers [the] opportunity and of defense he would have concerning the accusation.
17 यसकारण जब तिनीहरू सँगै यहाँ आए, मैले पर्खिनँ, अर्को दिन म न्याय आसनमा बसेँ र त्यो मानिसलाई भित्र ल्याउने आदेश दिएँ ।
When were assembling therefore they here delay no having made, on the next [day] having sat on the judgment seat I commanded to be brought the man;
18 जब अभियोक्ताहरू उठे र अभियोग लगाए, तिनीहरूले ऊसको विरुद्ध लागाएको कुनै पनि आभियोगहरू मलाई गम्भीर लागेन ।
concerning whom having stood up the accusers no charge (were bringing *N(k)O*) of which I myself was suspect (crimes; *N(O)*)
19 यसको सट्टामा, तिनीहरूको आफ्नै धर्म सम्बन्धी र मरेको कोही येशूको बारे तिनीहरूको विवाद थियो जसलाई पावलले जीवित छन् भनी दावी गर्थ्यो ।
Questions however certain concerning the own religion they had against him and concerning a certain Jesus having died whom was affirming Paul to be alive.
20 म यो कुरामा कसरी अनुसन्धान गर्ने भनी अन्योलमा परेँ, र यी कुराहरूको बारेमा इन्साफ गरिनको निम्ति ऊ यरूशलेम जान्छ कि भनी मैले उसलाई सोधेँ ।
Being perplexed now I myself (into *k*) concerning (these *N(k)O*) inquiry was asking if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and there and there to be judged concerning these things.
21 तर पावलले सम्राटको फैसलाको निम्ति सुरक्षा पहरामा राखिनलाई इच्छा गरेपछि, मैले उसलाई कैसरकहाँ नपठाएसम्म राख्नलाई आदेश दिएँ ।”
But Paul having appealed for to be kept himself for the Emperor's decision I commanded to be kept him until that (I may return *N(k)O*) him to Caesar.
22 अग्रिप्पाले फेस्तससँग भने, “म पनि यो मानिसका कुराहरू सुन्न चाहन्छु ।” फेस्तसले भने, “उसको कुरा तपाईंले भोलि सुन्नुहुनेछ ।”
Agrippa then to Festus (was saying: *k*) I was wanting also myself the man to hear. (now *k*) Tomorrow he says you will hear him.
23 यसरी अर्को दिन अग्रिप्पा र बर्निकी भव्य समारोहसँग आए; उनीहरू भवनभित्र सैनिक अधिकृतहरू र सहरका विशिष्ट व्यक्तिहरूसँग आए । र फेस्तसले आदेश दिएपछि पावललाई तिनीहरूकहाँ ल्याइयो ।
On the therefore next day when was coming Agrippa and Bernice with great pomp and having entered into the audience hall with both (to the *k*) commanders and to men who in prominence (being *k*) in the city and when was commanding Festus was brought in Paul.
24 फेस्तसले भने, “राजा अग्रिप्पा, यहाँ हामीसँग हुनुभएका सबै मानिसहरू, तपाईंले यो मानिसलाई देख्नु हुन्छ; यरूशलेममा र यहाँ पनि कैयौँ यहूदीहरूले मसँग छलफल गरे, र ऊ जीवित रहनु हुँदैन भनी मसँग कराए ।
And says Festus; Agrippa King and all you who [are] (being present with *NK(o)*) us men, you see this one concerning whom (all *N(k)O*) the multitude of the Jews (they pleaded *NK(o)*) with me in both Jerusalem and here (crying [that] *N(k)O*) not needing of him to live no longer.
25 तर मैले थाहा पाएँ कि यो मानिसले मृत्युको लायकको त्यस्तो कुनै गल्ती गरेका छैन; तर उसले सम्राटकहाँ जाने अपिल गरेकाले, मैले उसलाई पठाउने निर्णय गरेँ ।
I myself however (having grasped *N(k)O*) nothing worthy him of death to have done, (and *k*) himself and of this one having appealed to the Emperor I determined to send (him. *k*)
26 तर मसँग सम्राटलाई लेख्ने कुनै निश्चित कुराहरू छैन । यसकारण मैले उसलाई तपाईंहरूकहाँ ल्याएको छु, विशेषगरी राजा अग्रिप्पाकहाँ, ताकि मसँग मुद्दाको बारेमा लेख्ने केही कुराहरू होस् ।
concerning whom definite anything to write to [my] lord not I have, Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that when the examination having taken place I may have something (I may write; *N(k)O*)
27 किनभने एउटा कैदीलाई पठाउनु र उसको विरुद्धको आरोपहरू उल्लेख नगर्नु मलाई अनुपयुक्त जस्तो लाग्छ ।”
Absurd for to me it seems [in] sending a prisoner not also the against him charges to specify.
