< Sinthongei 25 >

1 Hanchu Festus'n ha ramhuol hah a tunga, sûnthum suole chu Caesarea renga Jerusalema a sea.

Festus, [who was now the governor] of the province, arrived in Caesarea, and three days later he went up to Jerusalem.

2 Mahan ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin Paul hah an hong tuonga an nônna Festus kôm han an ngêna

In Jerusalem, the chief priests and [other] Jewish leaders formally told [Festus] about [the things that they said] that Paul [had done that were wrong].

3 an nuomna thope ngeia Paul hah Jerusalema hong tuong rangin, asikchu lampuia lei that rang an bôk sikin.

They urgently asked Festus to do something for them. [They asked him to command soldiers] to bring Paul to Jerusalem, [so that Festus could put him on trial there]. But they were planning that some [of them] would hide [near the road] and wait [for Paul] and kill him when he was traveling [to Jerusalem].

4 Festus a thuona, “Paul hi Caesarea intâng ina lei dar ania male keima khom mason se nôk lei rang ki ni.

But Festus replied, “Paul is in Caesarea, and is being guarded {[soldiers] are guarding him} [there]. I myself will go down to Caesarea in a few days.

5 Nin ruoipungei Caesarea tena mi jûi senla ngei ma miriem hah a tho lei minchâina aomin chu juong nôn rese ngei,” a tia.

Choose some of your leaders to go there with me. [While they are there], they can accuse Paul of the wrong things that you say that he has done.”

6 Festus hah sûn riet mini, sûn sôm mini, anni ngei leh ala châma male Caesarea tieng a se zoi. Anangtûka chu roijêkna ânsunga Paul hah hong tuong rangin chong a pêka.

After Festus had been [in Jerusalem] eight or ten days, he went back down to Caesarea. [Several of the Jewish leaders also went there]. The next day Festus [commanded] that Paul be brought {someone to bring Paul} to him [in the assembly hall] so that he could judge him.

7 Paul hah a hong tung lechu a kôm han Jerusalem renga juong Judangei hah a rihîla an indinga an nônna thurchi tamtak an misîra, minthârna man mak ngei.

[After] Paul was brought to [the assembly hall], the Jewish [leaders] from Jerusalem gathered around him [to accuse him]. They told [Festus] that Paul had committed many crimes. But they could not prove [that Paul had done the things about which they accused him].

8 Aniatachu Paul han athenin ânrunga: “Judangei balam roia, Biekin roia nônchu Caesar chunga khom ite minchâiin doina lei tho mu-ung,” a tia.

Then Paul [spoke] to defend himself. He said to Festus, “I have done nothing wrong against the laws of us [(exc)] Jews, and I have not disobeyed the rules concerning our Temple. I have also done nothing wrong against your government [MTY].”

9 Hannirese Festus han Judangei modômna man rang a nuomna, masikin Paul kôm han a rekela, “Jerusalema sea, ka makunga nang an nônna ngei hih khi taka hôn jêk rang nu nuom mo?” a tia.

But Festus wanted to please the Jewish [leaders, so] he asked Paul, “Are you [(sg)] willing to go up to Jerusalem so that I can listen as these men accuse you [there]?”

10 Paul'n, “Caesar roijêkna makunga ko roi an jêkna muna jêk pea om rang piela inding ki ni. Judangei chunga ite minchâina dôn mu ung ti nangma khom ni riet sai ania.

But Paul [did not want to do that. So] he said [to Festus], “[No], I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]! I am [now] standing before you, and you [(sg)] are the judge [whom the Roman] Emperor [MTY] [has authorized. This is the place] where I should be judged {where you should judge me}. I have not wronged the Jewish people [at all], as you know very well.

11 Balam ki minchâia, thi rang dôrin minchâina ko dôn anîn chu, thi rang khomin kên phal. Hannirese min nônna ngei hi adikloi anin chu tutên an kôm mi pêk thei no ni ngei Caesar kôm tung ki tih,” a tia.

If I had done something bad [for which I] should be executed {[concerning which the law said that they] should execute me}, I would not plead [with them that they] not kill me. But none of these things about which they accuse me is [true, so] no one can [legally] surrender me to [these Jews]. So I formally request that the emperor [MTY] [should judge me at Rome].”

12 Hanchu Festus roijêkpungei, a chongpui suole chu, “Caesar kôm tung rang nu nuom lam angtakin tung ni tih,” a tia.

Then after Festus conferred with the [men who regularly] advised him, he replied to Paul, “You [(sg)] have formally requested [that I should send you] to the emperor [in Rome. So I will arrange for] you to go there [in order that he can judge you].”

13 Sûn idôr mini avun suole chu Rêng Agrippa le Bernice Caesarea an hong tunga Festus mirit an pêka.

After several days, King [Herod] Agrippa arrived at Caesarea, along with [his younger sister] Bernice. They had come to [formally] welcome Festus [as the new Governor of the province].

14 Sûn tamtak an om nûkin, Festus'n Paul thurchi ngei hah Rêng kôm han a misîr pea Felix han mi inkhat intâng ina hin a mâka.

King Agrippa and Bernice stayed many days in Caesarea. While [they were] there, Festus told Agrippa about Paul. He said to the king, “There is a man here whom Felix kept in prison [while he was governor]. He left him [there when his time as governor ended].

15 Jerusalema ke sea han, Juda Ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin asân an lei nônna dikloi minchang ngêt rangin ko kôm an ngêna.

When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and [the other] Jewish elders told me that this man had done many things [against their laws]. They asked me to condemn him [to be executed] {judge him [so that people could kill him]}.

16 Aniatachu hi anghin ki tipe ngei, “An nônpu le a nônpungei mâi intongin, an nônpu han an nônna roia han a dikna thurchi misîr rang a riet khâi noa, dikloi ani ti ânlang mân chu mojôk rang hih Rom mingei balam nimak.

But I told them that when someone has been accused [of a crime, we] Romans do not immediately (condemn that person/declare that person to be guilty). First, we [command] him to stand before the people who are accusing him and to say whether or not he has done those things. [After that, the judge will decide what to do with] him.

17 Mahin an juong tung suo nûkin zora sôtloiin anangtûka roijêkna taka kên sunga, ama hah hong tuong rangin chong ke pêka.

So those Jews came [here to Caesarea] when I came. I did not delay. The day after [we(exc) arrived], after I sat down at the place where I make decisions, I [commanded] that Paul be brought {[soldiers] to bring Paul} into [the courtroom].

18 A nônpungei hah an indinga, aniatachu Paul chunga han ma dôra dikloina khoite an misîr angin riet mu-ung.

The Jewish leaders did accuse him, but the things about which they accused him were not any of the [evil] crimes about which I thought [they would accuse him].

19 An inkhalnangei senkhat ha chu sakhuo roia ania mi inkhat a riming Jisua an ti, ama hah a thia; aniatachu Paul'n ama hah aring nôk a tia.

Instead, what they argued about with him were some teachings that [some] Jews believe [and others do not believe. They argued] about a man whose name was Jesus who had died, [but the man they were accusing, whose name is] Paul, kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive again.’

20 Keiman chu ma thurchi ngei ha chu a jêkna chang khom riet mu-ung, masikin keiman Paul ke rekela Jerusalema a sea mahan ajêk rangin nu nuom mo? tiin ke rekela.

I did not know what questions to ask [them, and I did not know how to judge] concerning their dispute. So I asked Paul, ‘Are you [(sg)] willing to go [back] to Jerusalem and have the dispute [between you and these Jews] judged there {and [let me] judge there the dispute [between you and these Jews]}?’

21 Aniatachu Paul han Caesar jêk pe rangin a ngên sikin, ki min se thei mân chu lei donsûi rangin chong ke pêk ngei ani,” a tia.

But Paul answered, ‘[No]. I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]!

22 Agrippa han Festus kôm, “Kei khom ma miriem hah a chong rangâi rang ku nuom,” a tia. Festus'n “Nangtûka rangâi ni tih,” tiin a thuona.

Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”

23 Anangtûka chu Agrippa le Bernice han inlal takin mipuingei intûpna an va lûta, râlmi ulienngei le khopuilien sûnga ulienngei khom an oma. Hanchu Festus chongpêkin Paul an hong tuonga.

The next day Agrippa and Bernice came very ceremoniously to the assembly hall. Some [Roman] commanders and prominent men in [Caesarea] came with them. Then, Festus told an officer to bring Paul. So after the officer [went to the prison and] brought him,

24 Festus han, “Rêng Agrippa le kin kôma omngei murdi, hi mi hih nin mu ania, Judangei murdi'n hi taka omngei le Jerusalema omngei murdi'n ko kôm an juong nônna min ring khâiloi rangin an in-iek.

Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all [the rest of you] who are here, you see this man. Many [HYP] Jews in Jerusalem and also those here [in Caesarea] appealed to me, screaming that we [(exc)] should not let him live any longer.

25 Hannisenla thina rang dôr ite tho minchâina dôn mak ti ki rieta. Aniatachu ama'n Ceasar kôm tung rang a nuom sikin tîr rangin ki ti ani.

But [when I asked them to tell me what he had done, and they told me], I found out that he had not done anything for which he should be executed {[anyone should] execute him}. However, he has asked that our emperor [should judge his case], so I have decided to send him to Rome.

26 Aniatachu, a thurchi hi Ceasar kôm ki miziek rang hi ânthârin riet mu-ung, masikin nin kôm ko hong tuong ani hi, Rêng Agrippa nangma kôm hin ani uol, a chungroi nin phuol suole, a miziek rang imakhat ko dôn thei rang.

But I do not know what specifically I should write to the emperor concerning him. That is why I have brought him here. I [want] you all [to hear him speak], and I especially want you [(sg)], King Agrippa, to hear him. Then, after we [(inc)] have questioned him, I may know what I should write [to the emperor about him].

27 Asikchu mi intâng ina om, an nônna bi inthârlaka ril loia tîr rang chu keima rangin omzie boi aphuo rang,” a tia.

It seems to me [that it would be] unreasonable to send a prisoner [to the emperor in Rome without my] specifying the [things about which people] are accusing him.”
