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, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

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

And the chief priests and the chief of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him,

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

asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.

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

Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.

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

Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, 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 having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, 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 who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to 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.

Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended [in] anything.

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, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?

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 the judgment-seat of Caesar, 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 have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.

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, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.

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

And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute 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 when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,

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

concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment 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, It is not [the] custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge.

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

When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day 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 the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt 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 against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.

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

And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?

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

But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.

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

And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said 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.

On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.

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 said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [him] 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, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided 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.

concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, so that an examination having been gone into I may have something 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 seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.
