Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Fesitusa n den cua laa dogunni, da na taa puoli, o den fii ki ñani cesale ki gedi jelusalem.
2 And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
Bi kopadicianba yudanba leni jufinba nikpela, den cua o kani ki wani o ban pia ya mama leni polo. Leni ki nanga yantiali.
3 Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
Ki den miadi o, ki go tigini o wan ŋanbi bipo, ki cedi polo cua jelusalem. ama bi den pia li djagibiadili, ki bua kpa o u sanu ni.
4 But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
Fesitusa den yedi ba, ke bi kubi o cesale, ke wani o ba, mo ba guani lipo likan waagi.
5 Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
o den yedi ba, yiniini ya pia nikpela n pia ban kuti o yaala, ban cua tin gedi.
6 And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
Fesitusa, naa den kali, bi siiga yala cie dana nii li dana jiiga, ki den lebidi goani cesale. lan den fii fa wan den ka u bujiakaanu, o den yedi ke ban cuani polo.
7 Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
Wan n den cua. Jufinba nikpela yaaba n den ñiani jelusalem den lindi o, ki kuliti o leni li bonla boncianla yaala n bia, ki nan kan fidi ki doagidi ke li tie moamoani.
8 Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
polo den cili ki maadi biba ga o yuli ki yedi mii tieni yala bia jufinba po, bi U Tienu diegu po, bi o bado sesa po.
9 But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
Fesitusa n den bua mangi jufinba pala, den yen polo: A bua ki gedi jelusalema leni, nni, ban ba jia ti buudi n nintuali laa bonla kuli po?
10 Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
Polo den yedi: n se sesa bujia kaanu kani, nanin pundi ban jia buudi, mii tieni tagili ba jufinba po, nani ŋan bani la, maama bonŋanla.
11 For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
N ya bi tieni tagili biadi ke pundi kuuma, n kan yie ki kpe, ama ban kulidi nni yaa la yaa tie faama, o ba kuli ki pia ya sanu n taani ki teni ba. n bua n buudi n tieni sesa po.
12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
Fesitusa leni o nijuoginkaaba n den juogi ki gbeni laa maama po. o den yedi ke a bua a buudi n tieni sesa po, to, lanwani o ba gedi sesa po.
13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Dana wamu n den pendi, o bado agilipa leni belenisa den cua sesale ki ba fuondi fesitusa.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
nani ban den tieni dana wamu, Fesitusa den waani o bado yeni polo maama fuuli ki yedi: ja yendo ye li kadi dieli nni, ne, ke felisi n fii ki ŋa o.
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
M=in den gedi jelusalema, bi kopadicianba yudanba leni jufinba nikpela den maadi nni o maama ki mia ke min jiaa o buudi ki teni ban kpa o.
16 To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
n den waani ba, ke laa tie loma yaaba bogida nni ki teni o nilo ban kpa o, ke waa baa ki maadi yaaba n kulido nituanli ki gaa o yuli.
17 When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
Lani bi den cua ne, mii den waagi, lan den fii fa, n den kali n bujiakaanu, ki den teni ke bi cuani o joa yeni.
18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
Yaaba den kuliti o n den sedi ki togidi, baa den fidi ki togidi ki waani, min den tama ke o pia ya tagili.
19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Bi den nia leni o, ya maama n nua leni bi jaanma sanŋoadima fuuli leni yaa nilo n yi Jesu, yua n den kpe, ke o mo tua ke o fo.
20 I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
Min ki den bandi, min baa jaa li maama, maama, n den buali o, o ya bua ki gedi jelusalema ban, ban jiaa o maama lanpo.
21 But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
Ama, nani wan den yedi, ke o bua ke o buudi n gedi sesa o badiciamo po yeni, lanwani n den teni ke bi gu o li kadi dielini, kali min ba fidi ki gedi nni o sesa po.
22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Agilipa den yedi fesitusa: N moko bi bua ki gbadi o joa yeni maama. Fesitusa den yedi o, saala a ba gbadi o maama.
23 And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
Lan den fii fa, agilipa len belenisa den cua ki kua u buujiakaanu leni ti kpiagidi, leni a minteela yudaano, leni u dogu nikpela. festisa den teni ke bi cuani polo.
24 And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
lanwani festusa den yedi: O bado agilipa leni yinba yaaba n ye ne leni ti kuli. i nua ke ya joa tene yaapo ke jufinba kuli, yaaba n ye ne leni jelusalema kuli taani ki tua ke laa pundi wan go ya ye leni miali.
25 Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
Mini yaapo, mii den laa ke o tieni yaa tagili n pundi ban kpa o, ke wani o ba mo den mia ke o bua ki gedi o badiciamo sesa po. n den bili ke n ba gedini o.
26 Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
Mii pia min n baa diani yaala o maama po, ki soani o badiciamo po. lani yaapo yo ke n teni ke bi cuani o fini obado agilipa nintuali, leni yinba kuli nintuali. yeni ti kuli yaa taani ki biigi o, min baa, min baa diani yaala.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
Kelima n sua ke li tie yanfoluoma yo ke min soani ki kadi-biga, kaa waani ban kuli o yaala.
