Acts 25
1 Festus therefore having come into the province, after three days went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
Leleꞌ naa, hofernor feuꞌ a, nara na Festus, lali Kaisarea neu fo nae parenda. Ana leo fai teluꞌ a mia naa ma, ana lao nakandoo Yerusalem neu.
2 And the chief priests and the leaders of the Jews brought a complaint before him against Paul, and besought him,
Sia naa, malangga agama Yahudi malanga nara ma malangga feaꞌ ra reu randaa ro e fo rahine e. Ara o ola-olaꞌ Paulus dedꞌea na sia sira neꞌebꞌue na naa.
3 asking for themselves a favor against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, intending to place men in wait to kill him on the road.
Ara o roꞌe, mete ma bisa naa, hofernor denu atahori nara ro baliꞌ Paulus Yerusalem nema, huu ara rala ralaꞌ ena rae tao risa Paulus sia dalaꞌ taladꞌa na.
4 But Festus answered that Paul was in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was going thither shortly.
Te hofernor nataa oi, “Ama nggaree. Taꞌo ia. Hela fo ara ranea e sia Kaisarea dei. Te au o ae haelai baliꞌ naa uu boe.
5 Let those therefore, said he, who have authority among you, go down with me and accuse this man, if he is guilty of anything.
De mete ma hei se hambu koasa fo nggero dedꞌeat ia, naa, tungga mo au Kaisarea uu. Mete ma atahori ia tao salaꞌ saa, naa, hei bisa midꞌedꞌea mo e sia naa.”
6 And having tarried among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the morrow, sitting on the judgment-seat, ordered Paul to be brought.
Basa ma, Festus leo mbei ma fai sanahulu mia Yerusalem, dei de feꞌe baliꞌ nisiꞌ Kaisarea. Atahori Yahudi hira tungga e. Mbilaꞌ na ma, hofernor nae paresaꞌ dedꞌeat naa. De ana denu ro Paulus rala neu nandaa no e. Paulus rala neu ma, atahori Yahudi ra rambariiꞌ rereoꞌ rala e, de fee salaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu e. Te ara nda ratudꞌu bukti saa saꞌ boe.
7 And when he had come, the Jews who came down from Jerusalem stood around, bringing many and heavy charges which they could not prove;
8 while Paul said in his defence, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I committed any offence.
Boe ma Paulus nasalaꞌe ao na nae, “Ama hofernor. Au nda feꞌe tao deꞌulakaꞌ saa saꞌ boe. Au o nda tao saa labꞌan hai atoran agama Yahudi ma sa. Au nda tao unggenggeo Lamatualain Uma Hule-oꞌe Huu Na sia Yerusalem. Ma au o nda tao saa labꞌan mana parenda Roma ra atoran na sa.”
9 But Festus, wishing to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there be tried on these charges before me?
Te hofernor nae haꞌi ralaꞌ no atahori Yahudi ra. Naa de, ana natane Paulus oi, “Ho duꞌa taꞌo bee? Mete ma au nggero dedꞌea ma sia Yerusalem, naa, ho nau, do hokoꞌ?”
10 But Paul said, I stand at the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as thou also very well knowest.
Paulus rena hofernor natane taꞌo naa ma, ana nataa oi, “Amaꞌ hofernor, au ia, atahori Roma. De ia naa, au umburiꞌ sia amaꞌ hofernor mia manaparenda Roma. Manaparenda Roma mana naꞌena hak nggero au dedꞌea ngga tungga atoran na. Dadꞌi au nda nau isiꞌ Yerusalem, fo neꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea ngga sia naa sa. Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ, au nda tao salaꞌ saa saꞌ boe, labꞌan neu atahori Yahudi ia ra.
11 If indeed I am an offender, and have done anything deserving death, I refuse not to die; but if there be nothing in the charges which they bring against me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
Mete ma au tao salaꞌ, nandaa no hukun mate, naa, au simbo. Te mete ma saa fo ara olaꞌ naa, nda tebꞌe sa, tungga atoran Roma, nda hambu esa bisa fee au uu atahori ia ra lima nara sa. Ara sanggaꞌ a dalaꞌ, fo rae risa au parsumaꞌ a. De ia naa, tungga au hak ngga, au endi dedꞌeat ia nisiꞌ mamana nggengero dedꞌeat huuꞌ a, fo mane monaeꞌ Kaisar sia Roma, naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat ia!”
12 Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar; to Caesar shalt thou go.
Hofernor rena Paulus naꞌo naa ma, ana noꞌe dudꞌuꞌat mia nonoo mana tungga nggero dedꞌeat naa. Basa ma, ana nafadꞌe Paulus nae, “Huu moꞌe hene misiꞌ Kaisar, de ho musi muu sia Roma.” Olaꞌ basa ma, hofernor nateꞌe neꞌebꞌuet naa.
13 And after some days Agrippa the king and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus.
Basa ma, atahori Yahudi ra mane na, nara na Agripa, no feto na, nara na Bernike, rema sia Kaisarea, fo rae fee hadꞌat neu hofernor feuꞌ a.
14 And while they were making a stay of some days there, Festus laid the case of Paul before the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix,
Ara numban fai hira ro hofernor Festus. Faiꞌ esa, Festus dui Paulus dedꞌea na neu ruꞌa se. Ana oi, “Ama maneꞌ! Sia Kaisarea ia, hai minea atahori sa, nara na Paulus. Dalahulu na, hofernor mbaraaꞌ a nda feꞌe naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea na sa.
15 against whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought a complaint, asking for judgment against him.
Feꞌe lai-laiꞌ ia, au Yerusalem uu ma, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra ro lasi-lasi adat ra, rema kalaak Paulus, de roꞌe au hukun e.
16 To whom I answered, It is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man on a charge, before the accused hath the accusers face to face, and hath opportunity to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
Te ufadꞌe se ae, ‘Tungga mana parenda Roma atoran na, au musi paresaꞌ dedꞌeat ia dei. Atahori mana radꞌedꞌeaꞌ ra musi randaa dei. Au ae rena hei fee salaꞌ saa neu e. Ma ana musi hambu nasalaꞌe ao na boe. Dei fo au bisa uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa, ma utudꞌaꞌ hukun saa neu e.’
17 When therefore they had come together here, without any delay I sat on the judgment-seat on the day after, and ordered the man to be brought forward.
Au baliꞌ Kaisarea uma ma, atahori Yahudi hira tungga boe. Mbilaꞌ na ma, au paresaꞌ tuteꞌ dedꞌeat naa. Au denu se ro Paulus nema nandaa no au, fo au bisa bubꞌuluꞌ dedꞌeat ia huu-pata na.
18 And his accusers standing around him brought no accusation of such things as I had conjectured,
Boe ma, atahori Yahudi ra rambariiꞌ de dui Paulus sala nara. Te saa fo rafadꞌeꞌ neu auꞌ a, bera na nda onaꞌ au dꞌuꞌaꞌ a sa.
19 but had against him certain questions of their own religion, and of one Jesus that was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Ara ratofa, huu ara nda ralaꞌ esa soꞌal agama nara sa. Ma, rareresi ro Paulus akaꞌ atahori sa, nara na Yesus. Tungga atahori Yahudi ra, Yesus mate ena. Te Paulus toꞌu nahereꞌ oi Yesus naa, nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena.
20 And I being at a loss about such questions, asked him if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be put on trial for these matters.
Ara rareresi taꞌo naa, te huu au atahori feuꞌ, de nda itaꞌ ae uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat agama ia taꞌo bee saꞌ boe. Naa de au utane Paulus ae, ‘Ona bee na, au uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌea ma ia sia Yerusalem, do?’
21 But Paul having appealed to be kept in custody for the judgment of Augustus, I ordered him to be kept till I should send him up to Caesar.
Te ana nda nau sa. Ana noꞌe hene nisiꞌ keser. Naa de au uꞌungge uhereꞌ e, losa kaꞌe ala dei fo haitua e Roma neu.”
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, I should like to hear the man myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
Ara rena Festus dudꞌui na ma, Mane Agripa oi, “Mete ma bisa naa, au ae rena ao ngga mia atahori naa.” Festus nataa oi, “Bisa! Dei fo au ator fo fetu na, amaꞌ bisa rena ao ma mia atahori naa.”
23 Accordingly on the morrow Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, and entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains and principal men of the city, and at the order of Festus Paul was brought forward.
Mbilaꞌ ma, hofernor Festus ator, fo mane Agripa rena Paulus oꞌola na. Ana o ator fo atahori naeꞌ bisa rena Paulus oꞌola na boe. Malangga soldꞌadꞌu ra ma atahori monaen sia kota Kaisarea, basa se rema rena Paulus. Boe ma, mane Agripa no Bernike masoꞌ rala rema ro bua-bau mane nara. Basa atahori fee hadꞌat neu ruꞌa se. Basa se raꞌabꞌue ena ma, hofernor denu ro Paulus rala neu.
24 And Festus said: King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us! Ye see this man about whom the whole multitude of the Jews applied to me both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought no longer to live.
Ara ro Paulus ma, hofernor olaꞌ oi, “Mane Agripa, ama nggara, ma toronoo susue nggare. Atahori ia, nara na Paulus. Malangga Yahudi hira radꞌedꞌea ro e. Ruma sia Yerusalem ma ruma sia ia, ara risiꞌ au, fo raꞌasusuuꞌ au rae, atahori ia, nda nandaa nasodꞌa sa ena.
25 But having found that he had done nothing deserving death, and he himself having appealed to Augustus, I determined to send him;
Naa de au paresaꞌ e, te nda hambu sala na nandaa no hukun mate sa. Te ana noꞌe hene nisiꞌ mana parenda ataꞌ. Naa de, nau nda nau sa, au musi fee ne Roma neu.
26 and as I have nothing certain to write about him to the emperor, I have brought him forward before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that when the examination hath been made, I may have something to write.
Mete ma au haitua e, naa, au musi tao susura. Te ia na, au musi suraꞌ saa, fee mane monaeꞌ a? Naa de au uꞌubꞌue basa amaꞌ se, fo rena e. Basa naa, au oꞌe ama maneꞌ Agripa fee au dudꞌuꞌat, fo suraꞌ uhine susura fee neu mane monaeꞌ a. Au duꞌa na nda maloleꞌ sa, mete ma au fee dedꞌeat ia nisiꞌ kaisar, te nda ufadꞌe atahori ia sala na sa. Au oꞌola ngga, baꞌu a ia. Makasi.”
27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not signify the charges against him;
