Acts 25
1 Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
Len tolu tukun Festus el tuku nu in facl sac, el som Caesarea lac nu Jerusalem,
2 Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and sought him,
yen ma mwet tol fulat ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul Paul nu sel. Elos kwafe sel Festus
3 And desired favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
elan welulos ke nunak lalos in usalu Paul nu Jerusalem, mweyen elos akoo in unilya inkanek uh ke el tuku uh.
4 But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
A Festus el fahk, “Paul el kapir oasr Caesarea, ac nga ac folokla nu we ke pacl na sa.
5 Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in 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 And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat 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 And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, 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 answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing 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, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
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 Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as you very well know.
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 be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me 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, Have you appealed to Caesar? to Caesar shall you 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 And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to salute Festus.
In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Agrippa ac Bernice tuku nu Caesarea in tuh paingul Festus nu we.
14 And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause to the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds 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, desiring to have judgment 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 To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have license to answer for himself concerning the crime 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 Therefore, when they were come here, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
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 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation 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 of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which 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 And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of 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 reserved to the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might 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 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, 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 And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
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 And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also 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 that he himself has appealed to Augustus, I have 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. Why I have brought him forth before you, and specially before you, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat 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 to send a prisoner, and not with to signify the crimes laid against him.
Mweyen wangin sripa nga in supwala sie mwet kapir, nga fin tia akkalemye ma lainyuk el kac uh.”
