Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 25

1 AYONAE jumalom si Festo gui provinsia, ya anae malofan tres na jaane cumajulo desde Sesarea asta Jerusalem.

Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Cæsarea.

2 Ya y magas mamale yan y magas y Judios manatungo güe contra si Pablo, ya matayuyut,

And the chief priests and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they besought him,

3 Magagagao finaborese contra si Pablo, na unajanao para Jerusalem; ya mananangga gui chalan para umapuno.

asking a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem; laying a plot to kill him on the way.

4 Lao manope si Festo, na si Pablo umanasagaja Sesarea, ya güiyaja ujanao enseguidas.

Howbeit Festus answered, that Paul was kept in charge at Cæsarea, and that he himself was about to depart [thither] shortly.

5 Ya ilegña: Ayo y mansiña guiya jamyo, ujadalalagyo papa, ya ujafaaela este na taotao, yaguin guaja taelaye guiya güiya.

Let them therefore, saith he, that are of power among you go down with me, and if there is anything amiss in the man, let them accuse him.

6 Ya anae sumaga güije mas di dies na jaane, mapos papa Sesarea; ya y inagpaña matachong gui tribunal, ya manago na umaconie as Pablo.

And when he had tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and on the morrow he sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

7 Ya anae mato, y Judios ni y manmato guinin Jerusalem, manojgue gui oriyaña, ya megae finaaelañija contra si Pablo, ya ti siña manamagajet nu sija.

And when he was come, the Jews that had come down from Jerusalem stood round about him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove;

8 Ya manope si Pablo pot güiyaja, ilegña: Ni contra y lay y Judios, ni contra y templo, ni contra si Sesat, ti juisagüe.

while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Cæsar, have I sinned at all.

9 Lao malago si Festo na unafanmagof y Judios; jaope si Pablo ilegña: Malago jao jumanao julo Jersalem, ya unmajusga pot este sija gui menajo?

But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?

10 Ya ilegña si Pablo: Gaegueyo gui tribunal Sesat anae debe di jumajusga: para y Judios, taya taelaye na finatinaso; ungostungoja.

But Paul said, I am standing before Cæsar’s judgment-seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.

11 Sa yaguin taelaye na finatinaso, pat guinin jufatinas jafa na jumerese y finatae, ti jureusayo na jumatae: lao yaguin taya jafa pot este y finaaelañija; taya ni un taotao uentregayo guiya sija. Jugagao jinisgajo gui as Sesat.

If then I am a wrong-doer, and have committed anything worthy of death, I refuse not to die; but if none of those things is [true] whereof these accuse me, no man can give me up unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.

12 Ya anae munjayan manguentos si Festo yan y taotao inetnon, jaope si Pablo ilegña: Gui as Sesat nae malagojao jinisgamo? Unfalag as Sesat.

Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed unto Cæsar: unto Cæsar shalt thou go.

13 Ya malofan palo jaane, mato si ray Agripa yan Bernise guiya Sesarea para umasaluda si Festo.

Now when certain days were passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Cæsarea, and saluted Festus.

14 Ya anae mañaga güije megae na jaane, si Festo jadeclaraye si ray ni y causan Pablo, ilegña: Un taotao maprereso pot si Felix,

And as they tarried there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

15 Ni y anae estabayo Jerusalem, y magas mamale yan y manamco gui Judios mafaesenyo, sa manmalago na umacondena.

about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed [me], asking for sentence against him.

16 Ya juope sija, na ti costumbren y Romano na umaentrega un taotao na umapuno, antes di umanaafana yan y fumaaela, ya uguaja lisensiaña manope pot y mafaaelaña.

To whom I answered, that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man, before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and have had opportunity to make his defence concerning the matter laid against him.

17 Enaomina anae mandaña guine, sinjufannangga, y inagpaña matachongyo gui tribunal, ya managoyo na jumaconie.

When therefore they were come together here, I made no delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment-seat, and commanded the man to be brought.

18 Ya manestabaja y fumaaela, lao taya finaaelañija jafa ni ayo y jinasosoco:

Concerning whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no charge of such evil things as I supposed;

19 Lao guaja finaesenñija contra güiya, pot y superstisionñija, pot y religionñija yan pot y un Jesus ni y matae, ya jaasegura si Pablo na lâlâ.

but had certain questions against him of their own religion, and of one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.

20 Ya ti juguestungo ayo sija na finaesen; jufaesen güe cao malago malag Jerusalem, ya ayo nae umajusga ni este sija.

And I, being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, asked whether he would go to Jerusalem and there be judged of these matters.

21 Lao si Pablo, anae jagagao na umanasaga, para y jinisgan Augusto, managoyo na umanasaga asta qui junajanao para as Sesat.

But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept till I should send him to Cæsar.

22 Ayonae si Agripa ilegña as Festo; Malagoyo locue na jujungog y taotao. Ya ilegña: Agupa na unjungog güe.

And Agrippa [said] unto Festus, I also could wish to hear the man myself. To-morrow, saith he, thou shalt hear him.

23 Ya y inagpaña mato si Agripa yan Bernise, yan y minagasñija, ya jumalom gui tribunal, yan y mas magas y inetnon yan y mas manmagas gui siuda, ya manago si Festo na umacone si Pablo.

So on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and they were entered into the place of hearing with the chief captains and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus Paul was brought in.

24 Ya ilegña si Festo: Ray Agripa, yan todo y taotao ni y mangaegue güine na manjijita; inlie este na taotao ni y todo y linajyan Judios maqueja yan guajo guiya Jerusalem yan güine, elegñija na ti umanalâlâ mas.

And Festus saith, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye behold this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews made suit to me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.

25 Lao anae jusoda na taya finatinasñajafa na umerese y finatae, ya anae güiyaja locue malago jinisgaña gui as Augusto, jujaso na junajanao.

But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death: and as he himself appealed to the emperor I determined to send him.

26 Ya taya jafa magajet na güinajaña para jutugue para y Señotjo. Enaomina jucone güe mona gui menanmiyo, yan y menamo, O Ray Agripa, para yaguin munjayan maegsamina, uguaja jafa para jutugue.

Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I may have somewhat to write.

27 Sa y jinasoco na taya rason na umanajanao y presonero, ya ti umanaclaro y isao ni y mapolo contra güiya.

For it seemeth to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not withal to signify the charges against him.
