Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 25
1 AYONAE jumalom si Festo gui provinsia, ya anae malofan tres na jaane cumajulo desde Sesarea asta Jerusalem.
Three days after Festus had arrived in the province he left Caesarea to go to Jerusalem.
2 Ya y magas mamale yan y magas y Judios manatungo güe contra si Pablo, ya matayuyut,
The chief priests and Jewish leaders came to him and brought their charges against Paul.
3 Magagagao finaborese contra si Pablo, na unajanao para Jerusalem; ya mananangga gui chalan para umapuno.
They begged Festus as a favor to send Paul to Jerusalem, plotting to ambush and kill him on the way.
4 Lao manope si Festo, na si Pablo umanasagaja Sesarea, ya güiyaja ujanao enseguidas.
But Festus replied that Paul was in custody at Caesarea and that he himself would be there shortly.
5 Ya ilegña: Ayo y mansiña guiya jamyo, ujadalalagyo papa, ya ujafaaela este na taotao, yaguin guaja taelaye guiya güiya.
“Your leaders can come with me, and make their accusation against this man, if he has done anything wrong,” he told them.
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.
After staying there with them for no more than eight or ten days, Festus returned to Caesarea. The following day he took his seat as judge, and ordered that Paul be brought before him.
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.
When he came in the Jews that had come from Jerusalem surrounded him and brought many serious charges against him that they couldn't 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 defended himself, telling them, “I have not sinned at all against the Jewish law, the Temple, or Caesar.”
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, who was looking to gain favor with the Jews, asked Paul, “Are you willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried before me there about these matters?”
10 Ya ilegña si Pablo: Gaegueyo gui tribunal Sesat anae debe di jumajusga: para y Judios, taya taelaye na finatinaso; ungostungoja.
“I'm standing before Caesar's court to be tried, right where I should be,” Paul replied. “I have not done any wrong to the Jews, as you very well know.
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 I've committed a crime and have done something that deserves death, I do not ask to be pardoned from a death sentence. But if there's no substance to these accusations they're making against me, then nobody has the right to hand me over 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.
Festus then conferred with the council, and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go!”
13 Ya malofan palo jaane, mato si ray Agripa yan Bernise guiya Sesarea para umasaluda si Festo.
Several days later, King Agrippa and his sister Bernice arrived in Caesarea and came to pay their respects to 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,
They were staying some time so Festus presented Paul's case to the king, explaining, “There's a man that Felix left as a prisoner here.
15 Ni y anae estabayo Jerusalem, y magas mamale yan y manamco gui Judios mafaesenyo, sa manmalago na umacondena.
When I was in Jerusalem, the Jewish chief priests and leaders came and made accusations against him and asked me to sentence 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.
I replied that it is not according to Roman law to convict anyone without having them face their accusers and giving them the opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.
17 Enaomina anae mandaña guine, sinjufannangga, y inagpaña matachongyo gui tribunal, ya managoyo na jumaconie.
So when his accusers arrived here, I wasted no time and convened the court the very next day. I ordered the man to be brought in.
18 Ya manestabaja y fumaaela, lao taya finaaelañija jafa ni ayo y jinasosoco:
However, when the accusers got up they didn't bring charges of criminal acts as I expected.
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.
Instead they brought up controversies over religious questions, and over a man called Jesus who was dead but whom Paul insisted was alive.
20 Ya ti juguestungo ayo sija na finaesen; jufaesen güe cao malago malag Jerusalem, ya ayo nae umajusga ni este sija.
Since I was undecided as to how to proceed in investigating such matters, I asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there.
21 Lao si Pablo, anae jagagao na umanasaga, para y jinisgan Augusto, managoyo na umanasaga asta qui junajanao para as Sesat.
However, Paul appealed for his case to be heard by the emperor, so I ordered him detained until I could send him to Caesar.”
22 Ayonae si Agripa ilegña as Festo; Malagoyo locue na jujungog y taotao. Ya ilegña: Agupa na unjungog güe.
“I would like to hear the man myself,” Agrippa told Festus. “I'll arrange for you to hear him tomorrow,” Festus replied.
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.
The next day Agrippa arrived with Bernice in great ceremonial splendor and entered the auditorium with the commanders and leading citizens. Then Festus ordered Paul to be 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.
“King Agrippa, and everyone who is present here with us,” Festus began, “you see before you this man whom all the Jewish people, both here and in Jerusalem, have complained to me about, shouting that he shouldn't be allowed to live.
25 Lao anae jusoda na taya finatinasñajafa na umerese y finatae, ya anae güiyaja locue malago jinisgaña gui as Augusto, jujaso na junajanao.
However, I discovered he has not committed any crime that deserves death, and since he has appealed to the emperor I decided to send him there.
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.
But I don't have anything specific to write about him to His Imperial Majesty. That's why I have brought him before you so I can have something definite to write.
27 Sa y jinasoco na taya rason na umanajanao y presonero, ya ti umanaclaro y isao ni y mapolo contra güiya.
It doesn't seem fair to me to send on a prisoner without explaining the charges made against him.”
