Falimaha Rasuullada 25
1 Haddaba Feestos markuu soo galay gobolkii, ayuu saddex maalmood dabadeed Kaysariya ka tegey, oo wuxuu aaday Yeruusaalem.
Three days after Festus had arrived in his province, he left Caesarea and went up to Jerusalem.
2 Markaasaa wadaaddadii sare iyo raggii Yuhuudda u waaweynaa waxay isagii u sheegeen wax Bawlos ka gees ah, wayna baryeen
There the chief priests and the leading men among the Jews laid an information before him against Paul,
3 oo axsaan ka weyddiisteen inuu isaga Yeruusaalem u soo diro; iyagoo shirqool u dhigaya inay jidka ku dilaan.
and asked a favor of him, to Paul’s injury – to have Paul brought to Jerusalem. All the while they were plotting to make away with him on the road.
4 Habase yeeshee Feestos wuxuu ugu jawaabay in Bawlos lagu dhawrayo Kaysariya, iyo in isaga qudhiisuba dhaqsiyo halkaas u aadayo.
But Festus answered that Paul was in prison at Caesarea, and that he himself would be leaving for that place shortly.
5 Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba kuwa idinku jira oo amarka lahu aniga ha ila tageen, oo haddii ninkaasu wax qallooc ah leeyahay, iyagu ha dacweeyeen isaga.
“So let the influential men among you,” he said, “go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, charge him formally with it.”
6 Oo markuu iyagii dhex joogay in aan ka badnayn siddeed ama toban maalmood, ayuu wuxuu aaday Kaysariya, kolkaasuu maalintii dambe fadhiistay kursigii xukumaadda, oo wuxuu amray in Bawlos la keeno.
After staying among them some eight or ten days, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he took his seat on the Bench, and ordered Paul to be brought before him.
7 Oo kolkuu yimid, Yuhuuddii Yeruusaalem ka timid ayaa hareerihiisii soo istaagtay, oo waxay keeneen dacwooyin badan oo waaweyn, oo ayan iyagu xaqiijin karin.
On Paul’s appearance, the Jewish leaders who had come down from Jerusalem surrounded him, and made many serious charges, which they failed to establish.
8 Markii Bawlos isdaafacayay, ayuu wuxuu yidhi, Anigu innaba kuma dembaabin sharciga Yuhuudda ama macbudka iyo Kaysar toona.
Paul’s answer to the charge was – ‘I have not committed any offense against the Jewish Law, or the Temple, or the Emperor.’
9 Laakiin Feestos isagoo doonaya inuu Yuhuudda kaga farxiyo, ayuu wuxuu ku jawaabay oo Bawlos ku yidhi, Ma doonaysaa inaad Yeruusaalem tagto oo waxyaalahan halkaas hortayda lagugu xukumo?
But, as Festus wished to gain popularity with the Jews, he interrupted Paul with the question, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be tried on these charges before me there?”
10 Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan hor taaganahay kursigii xukumaadda oo Kaysar; halkanay igu waajib tahay in laygu xukumo. Anigu Yuhuudda innaba xumaan kuma aan samayn, sidaad aad ugu og tahay.
“No,” replied Paul, “I am standing at the Emperor’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not wronged the Jews, as you yourself are well aware.
11 Haddaba haddii aan xumaan falay oo aan galay wax dhimasho istaahila, geeri diidi maayo; laakiin waxyaalahan ay kuwanu igu dacwaynayaan haddii aan wax run ah lagu arag, ninna iima gacangelin karo iyaga. Waxaan u ashtakoonayaa Kaysar.
If, however, I am breaking the law and have committed any offense deserving death, I do not ask to escape the penalty; but, if there is nothing in the accusations of these people, no one has the power to give me up to them. I appeal to the Emperor.”
12 Markaasaa Feestos, markuu shirka la tashaday, ayuu wuxuu ku jawaabay, Kaysar baad u ashtakootay; Kaysar baad u tegaysaa.
Festus, after conferring with his Council, answered, “You have appealed to the Emperor; to the Emperor you will go.”
13 Haddaba kolkii dhawr maalmood la soo dhaafay ayaa waxaa Kaysariya yimid oo Feestos soo salaamay boqor Agribba iyo Bernikee.
Some days later King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea, and paid a visit of congratulation to Festus;
14 Oo kolkii ay maalmo badan halkaas joogeen ayaa Feestos wuxuu boqorkii hor dhigay dacwadii Bawlos, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa jira nin Feelikos ka tegey isagoo maxbuus ah;
and, as they were staying there for several days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king. “There is a man here,” he said, “left a prisoner by Felix,
15 kaasoo waagii aan Yeruusaalem joogay ay wadaaddadii sare iyo waayeelladii Yuhuuddu igu soo dacweeyeen iyagoo doonaya in la xukumo isagii.
about whom, when I came to Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priest and the elders laid an information, demanding judgment against him.
16 Iyagii waxaan ugu jawaabay oo ku idhi, Ma aha caadada reer Rooma in ninna xukumaad loo dhiibo intaan mudduciyaasha layska hor keenin muddacalayga oo la siin fursad uu isaga daafaco xaalka lagu ashtakeeyey.
My answer to them was, that it was not the practice of Romans to give up anyone to their accusers until the accused had met them face to face, and had also had an opportunity of answering the charges brought against them.
17 Haddaba markii ay halkan wada yimaadeen, anigu innaba siima aan raagin ee maalintii dambe ayaan waxaan ku fadhiistay kursigii xukumaadda, oo waxaan amray in ninka la keeno.
So they met here, and without loss of time I took my seat on the Bench the very next day, and ordered the man to be brought before me.
18 Laakiin markii ay mudduciyaashii istaageen, ma ay keenin innaba wax xumaan ah oo u eg wixii aan filanayay;
But, when his accusers came forward, they brought no charge of wrongdoing such as I had expected;
19 laakiin waxay lahaayeen su'aalo isaga ka gees ah oo ku saabsan diintooda iyo mid Ciise la odhan jiray oo dhintay, laakiin Bawlos leeyahay inuu nool yahay.
but I found that there were certain questions in dispute between them about their own religion, and about some dead man called Jesus, whom Paul declared to be alive.
20 Haddaba anigoo ka shakiyaya sidii aan waxyaalahan u sii haybin lahaa, ayaan waxaan isagii weyddiistay bal inuu Yeruusaalem tegayo oo meeshaas lagu xukumo waxyaalahan iyo in kale.
And, as I was at a loss how to enquire into questions of this kind, I asked Paul if he were willing to go up to Jerusalem, and be put on trial there.
21 Laakiin markii Bawlos doonayay in la sii hayo ilaa boqorku gar gooyo, waxaan amray in la sii hayo ilaa aan isaga Kaysar u diro.
Paul, however, appealed to have his case reserved for the consideration of his August Majesty, so I ordered him to be detained in custody, until I could send him to the Emperor.”
22 Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Feestos ku yidhi, Aniguba waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ninka maqlo. Markaasuu yidhi, Berritaad maqlaysaa.
“I should like to hear this man myself,” Agrippa said to Festus. “You will hear him tomorrow,” Festus answered.
23 Sidaas daraaddeed maalintii dambe ayaa Agribba iyo Bernikee waxay la yimaadeen bandhig weyn, oo waxay soo galeen maxkamaddii, iyaga iyo nimankii sare iyo raggii magaalada ugu waaweynaa. Markaasaa Feestos wuxuu amray in Bawlos loo keeno.
So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come in full state and had entered the Audience Chamber, with the superior officers and the principal people of the city, by the order of Festus Paul was brought before them.
24 Markaasaa Feestos wuxuu yidhi, Boqor Agribba iyo ragga kale oo halkan nala jooga oo dhammow, waxaad arkaysaan ninkan Yuhuudda badan oo dhammu ay iiga soo cabteen Yeruusaalem iyo halkanba, iyagoo ku qaylinaya, Waajib ma aha in ninkanu sii noolaado.
Then Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all here present, you see before you the man about whom the whole Jewish people have applied to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly asserting that he ought not to be allowed to live.
25 Laakiin waxaan ogaaday inuusan samayn innaba wax dhimasho istaahila; oo isaga qudhiisuba wuxuu u ashtakooday boqorka, sidaas daraaddeed waxaan goostay inaan isaga diro.
I found, however, that he had not done anything deserving death; so, as he had himself appealed to his August Majesty, I decided to send him.
26 Haddaba anigu ma hayo wax xaqiiqa ah oo ninkan ku saabsan oo aan sayidkayga u qoro. Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan isaga hortiinna u keenay, iyo khusuusan adiga hortaada, boqor Agribbow, in kolkii loo imtixaamo dabadeed aan helo wax aan qoro.
But I have nothing definite to write about him to my Imperial Master; and for that reason I have brought him before you all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examining him, I may have something to write.
27 Waayo, waxay ila eg tahay caqliyaraan in maxbuus la diro iyadoo aan aad loo xaqiijin wixii lagu ashtakeeyey.
For it seems to me absurd to send a prisoner, without at the same time stating the charges made against him.”
