Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Hanchu Festus'n ha ramhuol hah a tunga, sûnthum suole chu Caesarea renga Jerusalema a sea.
2 And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
Mahan ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin Paul hah an hong tuonga an nônna Festus kôm han an ngêna
3 Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
an nuomna thope ngeia Paul hah Jerusalema hong tuong rangin, asikchu lampuia lei that rang an bôk sikin.
4 But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
Festus a thuona, “Paul hi Caesarea intâng ina lei dar ania male keima khom mason se nôk lei rang ki ni.
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.
Nin ruoipungei Caesarea tena mi jûi senla ngei ma miriem hah a tho lei minchâina aomin chu juong nôn rese ngei,” a tia.
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.
Festus hah sûn riet mini, sûn sôm mini, anni ngei leh ala châma male Caesarea tieng a se zoi. Anangtûka chu roijêkna ânsunga Paul hah hong tuong rangin chong a pêka.
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;
Paul hah a hong tung lechu a kôm han Jerusalem renga juong Judangei hah a rihîla an indinga an nônna thurchi tamtak an misîra, minthârna man mak ngei.
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.
Aniatachu Paul han athenin ânrunga: “Judangei balam roia, Biekin roia nônchu Caesar chunga khom ite minchâiin doina lei tho mu-ung,” a tia.
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?
Hannirese Festus han Judangei modômna man rang a nuomna, masikin Paul kôm han a rekela, “Jerusalema sea, ka makunga nang an nônna ngei hih khi taka hôn jêk rang nu nuom mo?” a tia.
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.
Paul'n, “Caesar roijêkna makunga ko roi an jêkna muna jêk pea om rang piela inding ki ni. Judangei chunga ite minchâina dôn mu ung ti nangma khom ni riet sai ania.
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.
Balam ki minchâia, thi rang dôrin minchâina ko dôn anîn chu, thi rang khomin kên phal. Hannirese min nônna ngei hi adikloi anin chu tutên an kôm mi pêk thei no ni ngei Caesar kôm tung ki tih,” a tia.
12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
Hanchu Festus roijêkpungei, a chongpui suole chu, “Caesar kôm tung rang nu nuom lam angtakin tung ni tih,” a tia.
13 And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Sûn idôr mini avun suole chu Rêng Agrippa le Bernice Caesarea an hong tunga Festus mirit an pêka.
14 And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
Sûn tamtak an om nûkin, Festus'n Paul thurchi ngei hah Rêng kôm han a misîr pea Felix han mi inkhat intâng ina hin a mâka.
15 About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
Jerusalema ke sea han, Juda Ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin asân an lei nônna dikloi minchang ngêt rangin ko kôm an ngêna.
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.
Aniatachu hi anghin ki tipe ngei, “An nônpu le a nônpungei mâi intongin, an nônpu han an nônna roia han a dikna thurchi misîr rang a riet khâi noa, dikloi ani ti ânlang mân chu mojôk rang hih Rom mingei balam nimak.
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.
Mahin an juong tung suo nûkin zora sôtloiin anangtûka roijêkna taka kên sunga, ama hah hong tuong rangin chong ke pêka.
18 Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
A nônpungei hah an indinga, aniatachu Paul chunga han ma dôra dikloina khoite an misîr angin riet mu-ung.
19 But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
An inkhalnangei senkhat ha chu sakhuo roia ania mi inkhat a riming Jisua an ti, ama hah a thia; aniatachu Paul'n ama hah aring nôk a tia.
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.
Keiman chu ma thurchi ngei ha chu a jêkna chang khom riet mu-ung, masikin keiman Paul ke rekela Jerusalema a sea mahan ajêk rangin nu nuom mo? tiin ke rekela.
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.
Aniatachu Paul han Caesar jêk pe rangin a ngên sikin, ki min se thei mân chu lei donsûi rangin chong ke pêk ngei ani,” a tia.
22 And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Agrippa han Festus kôm, “Kei khom ma miriem hah a chong rangâi rang ku nuom,” a tia. Festus'n “Nangtûka rangâi ni tih,” tiin a thuona.
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.
Anangtûka chu Agrippa le Bernice han inlal takin mipuingei intûpna an va lûta, râlmi ulienngei le khopuilien sûnga ulienngei khom an oma. Hanchu Festus chongpêkin Paul an hong tuonga.
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.
Festus han, “Rêng Agrippa le kin kôma omngei murdi, hi mi hih nin mu ania, Judangei murdi'n hi taka omngei le Jerusalema omngei murdi'n ko kôm an juong nônna min ring khâiloi rangin an in-iek.
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.
Hannisenla thina rang dôr ite tho minchâina dôn mak ti ki rieta. Aniatachu ama'n Ceasar kôm tung rang a nuom sikin tîr rangin ki ti ani.
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.
Aniatachu, a thurchi hi Ceasar kôm ki miziek rang hi ânthârin riet mu-ung, masikin nin kôm ko hong tuong ani hi, Rêng Agrippa nangma kôm hin ani uol, a chungroi nin phuol suole, a miziek rang imakhat ko dôn thei rang.
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
Asikchu mi intâng ina om, an nônna bi inthârlaka ril loia tîr rang chu keima rangin omzie boi aphuo rang,” a tia.
