Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Len tolu tukun Festus el tuku nu in facl sac, el som Caesarea lac nu Jerusalem,
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
yen ma mwet tol fulat ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul Paul nu sel. Elos kwafe sel Festus
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
elan welulos ke nunak lalos in usalu Paul nu Jerusalem, mweyen elos akoo in unilya inkanek uh ke el tuku uh.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
A Festus el fahk, “Paul el kapir oasr Caesarea, ac nga ac folokla nu we ke pacl na sa.
5 “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Lela mwet kol lowos an in wiyu som nu Caesarea, ac srukak mwe alein lowos an we, fin oasr ma koluk el orala.”
6 When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Festus el muta yorolos ke len oalkosr ku singoul, na el fah som nu Caesarea. Ke len se tok ah, el muta ke acn in nununku ac sap in utuku Paul.
7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
Ke Paul el utyak, mwet Jew ma tuku Jerusalem me elos tu raunella, ac tukakunul ke ma koluk na yohk puspis, a elos tia ku in akpwayei.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Tusruktu Paul el sifacna loangel ac fahk, “Wangin ma koluk nga orala lain Ma Sap lun mwet Jew, ku lain Tempul, ku lain Tokosra Fulat lun mwet Rome.”
9 But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
Tusruktu Festus el lungse akinsewowoye mwet Jew uh, oru el siyuk sel Paul, “Ya kom lungse som nu Jerusalem in tuh nununkeyuk kom we ye mutuk, ke ma tukakinyuk kom kac inge?”
10 But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Paul el fahk, “Inge nga tu ke acn in nununku lun Tokosra Fulat, yen se ma fal in nununkeyuk nga we. Wangin ma sufal nga orala nu sin mwet Jew uh, oana ke kom sifacna etu uh.
11 For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Nga fin kunausla ma sap, ku orala kutena ma koluk su fal in anwuki nga kac, nga tia suk in kaingkunla ma inge. Tusruk, fin tia pwaye ma elos tukakinyu kac uh, wangin mwet ku in eisyuyang nu selos. Nga lungse sruhk ma inge nu ke nununku lun Tokosra Fulat.”
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Na tukun Festus el lolngok yurin mwet kasru lal, el fahk, “Kom siyuk tari tuh kom in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ouinge ac fah supweyukla kom nwe yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Agrippa ac Bernice tuku nu Caesarea in tuh paingul Festus nu we.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Tukun eltal muta we ke kutu len, Festus el aketeya nu sin tokosra sac tukak ma orek lainul Paul. El fahk, “Mwet se oasr inge su Felix el tuh filiyana in presin ke el som.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Ac ke nga tuh som nu Jerusalem, mwet tol fulat ac un mwet matu lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul nu sik ac siyuk ngan fahk mu oasr mwatal.
16 I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
Tuh nga fahkang nu selos mu kut mwet Rome uh tia wi sang mwatan mwet tukakyak ke ma koluk nwe ke na el, ac mwet ma tukakunul uh, ngetani in nununku, elan ku in loangel sifacna ye mutun mwet lainul uh.
17 When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
Ke elos tuku nu yenu, nga tia sisla pacl, a ke len se na tok ah nga som nu ke nien nununku, ac sap in utuku mwet sac.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Mwet ma lainul uh elos tuyak, tusruktu elos tiana lainul ke kutena ma koluk ma nga nunku mu elos ac tukakunul kac uh.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Pwayena ma elos lainul kac uh pa akukuin na ke alu lalos uh, ac ke mwet se pangpang Jesus su misa tari, tuh Paul el fahk mu el moul.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Nga tuh tia ku in etu lah nga ac eis fuka mwe akpwayeye ma inge, pwanang nga tuh siyuk sel Paul lah el ac tia lungse som nu Jerusalem in orek lohngyuk se inge we ke ma tukakinyuk el kac uh.
21 But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
Tusruktu Paul el tuh sruhk lohngyuk kacl uh in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ac elan mutana ke acn se ac taranyuk el sin mwet liyaung presin. Na pa nga sap elan mutana in presin nwe ke na nga ku in supwalla nu yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Agrippa el fahk nu sel Festus, “Nga ke sifacna lohng sramsram lun mwet se inge.” Na Festus el fahk, “Kom ac fah lohngol lutu.”
23 So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
Ke len tok ah Agrippa ac Bernice eltal tuku nu ke lohm in tukeni lulap, ac ke eltal utyak mwet uh akfulatyaltal ke kain in akfulat puspis. Mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, oayapa leum lun siti uh wi pac tukeni sac. Na Festus el sap in utuku Paul.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
Festus el fahk, “Tokosra Agrippa, ac kowos nukewa su wi tukeni se inge! Kowos liye mwet se inge, su mwet Jew nukewa in acn Jerusalem, ac elos su muta yenu, elos use kas in lain puspis kacl nu yuruk. Elos wowoyak mu in tia lela elan moul.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
Tuh nga tiana ku in konauk lah oasr ma koluk el orala ma fal in anwuki el kac. Ac ke el sifacna siyuk lohngyuk kacl uh in orek sel Tokosra Fulat, nga wotela tari nga in supwalla nu yorol.
26 of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
Tuh wanginna kas kalem kacl yuruk ma fal nga in sim fahk nu sin Tokosra Fulat. Pa inge sripa se oru nga usalu nu ye motowos — yokna nu sum, Tokosra Agrippa! — tuh ke tari lohngyuk kacl uh, na ac fah oasr ma nga ku in simis fahk kacl.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Mweyen wangin sripa nga in supwala sie mwet kapir, nga fin tia akkalemye ma lainyuk el kac uh.”
