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 from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

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

And the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews brought a complaint before him against Paul, and besought him,

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

asking for themselves a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to place men in wait to kill him on the road.

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

But Festus answered that Paul was in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was going thither shortly.

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

Let those therefore, said he, who have authority among you, go down with me and accuse this man, if he is guilty of anything.

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 tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the morrow, sitting on the judgment-seat, ordered 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 had come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, bringing many and heavy 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 Caesar have I committed any offence.

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, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges 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 stand at the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have 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 indeed I am an offender, and have done anything deserving death, I refuse not to die; but if there be nothing in the charges which they bring against 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 after some days Agrippa the king and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet 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 while they were making a stay of some days there, Festus laid the case of Paul before the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix,

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

against whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought a complaint, asking for 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 on a charge, before the accused hath the accusers face to face, and hath opportunity to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.

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

When therefore they had come together here, without any delay I sat on the judgment-seat on the day after, and ordered the man to be brought forward.

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

And his accusers standing around him brought no accusation of such things as I had conjectured,

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 religion, and of one Jesus that 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 at a loss about such questions, asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be put on trial for these matters.

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 in custody for the judgment of Augustus, I ordered him to be kept till I should send him up to Caesar.

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

Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, 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.

Accordingly on the morrow Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains and principal men of the city, and at the order of Festus Paul was brought forward.

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 man about whom the whole multitude of the Jews applied to me both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought no longer 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.

But having found that he had done nothing deserving death, and he himself having appealed to Augustus, 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.

and as I have nothing certain to write about him to the emperor, I have brought him forward before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that when the examination hath been made, 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 seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not signify the charges against him;
