< Acts 25 >

1 When Festus was then come into the prouince, after three dayes he went vp from Caesarea vnto Hierusalem.
Nene, Festus pira kipin tigo me, na ayiri atat nkata, anye udu Ukaisariya nin Urushelima.
2 Then the high Priest, and the chiefe of the Iewes appeared before him against Paul: and they besought him,
Ugo napirist nin na didia na Yahudawa su tizogo kitene Bulus nin Festus, isu uliru nin likara kitin Festus, isu ulinu nin likara kitin Festus.
3 And desired fauour against him, that hee would send for him to Hierusalem: and they layd waite to kill him by the way.
Itirino Festus ku ati ayi asheu nin bulus, nworo ayicila ghe udu Urushelimma inan mologhe libau we.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should bee kept at Caesarea, and that he himselfe would shortly depart thither.
Ama Festus kauwa nani Bulus kucin nari nanya Kaisariya, ame liti me ba kpinlu kikane.
5 Let them therefore, saide he, which among you are able, come downe with vs: and if there be any wickednes in the man, let them accuse him.
“Bara nani, alenge na iwasa isu,” aworo, “Iba duu nanghirik, asa na imon nnana, iba kifu ghe nin kulapi.”
6 Now when he had taried among them no more then ten dayes, hee went downe to Caesarea, and the next day sate in the iudgement seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
Na aso ayiri kulir sa likure, annya udu Ukaisariya, nin liyiri linbe aso kutet nwucu kidegen, ata idanin Bulus kiti me.
7 And when hee was come, the Iewes which were come from Hierusalem, stoode about him and layd many and grieuous complaints against Paul, whereof they could make no plaine proofe,
Na ada duru, a Yahudawa unuzu Urushelima da yisina kupo me, ibelle kinu kanga na kidegen duku ba.
8 Forasmuch as he answered, that he had neither offended any thing against the lawe of the Iewes, neither against ye temple, nor against Caesar.
Bulus kusu liti me aworo, “Na kitene lisa na Yahudawa ba, a na kitene kutyi nlirag ba, ana kitene ugo Kaisar ba, anin nsu utanua.”
9 Yet Festus willing to get fauour of the Iewes, answered Paul and saide, Wilt thou goe vp to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things before mee?
Ame Festus dinin su ase uyinnu na Yahudawa, anin kauwa Bulus ku aworo, “Udinin su udoo Urushelima meng di wuso fi kidegen, kitene nile imone kikane?”
10 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesars iudgment seate, where I ought to be iudged: to the Iewes I haue done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
Bulus woro, “Meng yisin nbun kutet nwucu kidegen kaisar, kika na iba wussi kidegen. Na nna su Ayahudawa kulapi ba, nafo nafe yiru.
11 For if I haue done wrong, or committed any thing worthie of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man, to pleasure them, can deliuer me to them: I appeale vnto Caesar.
Ko nin nwonu nna taan, nin woro andi nnasu imomon ile na ibatina ukul, na nnari nkuu ba, Bara nani andi na uvuruzu mine na imonari ba, na umong wa nakpai kiti mine ba. In yicila kiti Kaisar.”
12 Then when Festus had spoken with the Council, hee answered, Hast thou appealed vnto Caesar? vnto Caesar shalt thou goe.
Kubi na Festus nlira nan na didia a kauwa, “Uyicila kitene kaisar; uba duu kitin kaisar.”
13 And after certaine dayes, King Agrippa and Bernice came downe to Caesarea to salute Festus.
Nene na among ayiri nkata, ame uga Agaripa nin Banis da duru nanya Nkaisariya, isu lizzi kiti Festus.
14 And when they had remained there many dayes, Festus declared Pauls cause vnto the King, saying, There is a certaine man left in prison by Felix,
Kubi na awadi kikane ayiri gbardang Festus durso uliru Bulus kiti ngowe, a woro, “Felix na suun umong kikane nafo unan licin.
15 Of whom when I came to Hierusalem, the high Priestes and Elders of the Iewes informed me, and desired to haue iudgement against him.
Kubi na nwanwandi nanyan Urushalima ago na Priest nin nakukune na Yahudawa da nin nliru kitene nnit une kiti nigh itiri ni nmolu ghe.
16 To whome I answered, that it is not the maner of the Romanes for fauour to deliuer any man to the death, before that hee which is accused, haue the accusers before him, and haue place to defend himselfe, concerning the crime.
Kiti nlel nkauwa nworu na alada nin na Romawa, inii unit nafo unit ulau, nin nani lenge na avuro ghe, bara anan kusu liti me.
17 Therefore when they were come hither, without delay the day following I sate on the iudgement seate, and commanded the man to be brought foorth.
Bara nani, kubi na ida ligowe, na nwa cicah ba, nin nkuiye nso kutet nwucu kidgen, ntaa idaa nin nite nanye.
18 Against whom when the accusers stood vp, they brought no crime of such things as I supposed:
Kubi na ale na vuroge nfita, men yene nafo vat nile imon na ivuro ghe mun, di nin likara ba.
19 But had certaine questions against him of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be aliue.
Nin nani, idinin nimomon ugang kitene nadini mine, kitene nimong Yesu ulenge na ann kuu, ulenge na Bulus dinsu a dinin lai.
20 And because I doubted of such maner of question, I asked him whether he would goe to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these things.
Na meng nyinno iyizari nbasu uleli uliru ba, men bellinghe, andi aba du Urushalima, idi wuso ghe kidegene kitene nile imone.
21 But because he appealed to be reserued to the examination of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I mght send him to Cesar.
bara kubi na iwa yicila Bulus ku idi ceo ghe kiti licin, bara ubellu ngo udia, men belle i ceo ghe, udu kubi kongo na mba tuu ninghe kiti Kaisar.”
22 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Festus, I would also heare the man my selfe. To morowe, sayd he, thou shalt heare him.
Agarippa wa liru nin Festus, “Meng wang ba yitu nin su nlanza unit une.” Nin nkui” Festus woro “Una lanza ghe.”
23 And on the morowe when Agrippa was come and Bernice with great pompe, and were entred into the Common hall with the chiefe captaines and chiefe men of the citie, at Festus commandement Paul was brought forth.
Udu liyirin ndofine, Agarippa nin Banis ida nin ngonon kang, ida pira nanya kuyiye nin nasoja, nan nanit adidia kagbire, kubi na Festus nlirina ida nin Bulus kiti mine.
24 And Festus sayd, King Agrippa, and all men which are present with vs, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Iewes haue called vpon me, both at Hierusalem, and here, crying, that he ought not to liue any longer.
Festus woro, “Ugo Agarippa, nin vat nanit alenge na idi kikane nanghinik, iyene unit ule, vat ngardang Nayahudiyawa na da seei kikane tutun, inani na lirin nin liwui, na iwa suun unit ule nin lai ba.
25 Yet haue I found nothing worthy of death, that he hath committed: neuertheles, seeing that he hath appealed to Augustus, I haue determined to send him.
Meng na lanza na asu imon ile na ibatina ukul ba, ama bara na ana yicila kiti ngo, nmini di nworu ntuu ghe.
26 Of whome I haue no certaine thing to write vnto my Lord: wherefore I haue brought him forth vnto you, and specially vnto thee, King Agrippa, that after examination had, I might haue somewhat to write.
Bara ndimun nimon ident ile na nba nyertinu ugo ba, unnere ntaa, nmini ndaa ninghe kiti mine, fe Ugo Agarippa, bara nnanse imomon gbardang na nba nyertinu kitene nshara ule.
27 For me thinketh it vnreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to shewe the causes which are layde against him.
Bara uba so nafo usalin kpilizu, kiti nigh, ntuu nin nan licin, sa ubelle nimon ile na idin vuruzughe mun.”
