Acts 25
1 Festus, therefore, having come upon the province, after three days, went up unto Jerusalem from Caesarea;
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 High-priest and chiefs of the Jews laid information before him against Paul, and began to beseech 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 as a favour against him, that he would send for him unto Jerusalem, —making, an ambush, to kill him on the way.
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 Festus, therefore, answered, that Paul should be kept in Caesarea, and that, he himself, was about, shortly, to be going out [thither].
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 They, therefore, among you (saith he) who are in power, let them go down with me; and, if there is in the man, anything amiss, let them accuse him.
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, spending among them, not more than eight or ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and, on the morrow, taking his place upon 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 presented himself, the Jews who, from Jerusalem, had come down, stood round about him, many and grievous charges, bringing against [him], which they were not able to prove, —
8 Paul saying in defence—Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I in anything sinned.
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, with the Jews, to gain, favour, answered Paul, and said—Art thou willing, unto Jerusalem, to go up, and, there, concerning these things, be judged 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—Standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, am I, where, I, ought to be judged. Unto the Jews, have I done no wrong, as, even thou, right well, art discovering.
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 then, on the one hand, I am doing wrong, and, anything worthy of death, have committed, I excuse not myself from dying; but, on the other hand, if there is, nothing, in the things whereof these are accusing me, no man, hath power to give, me, unto them as a favour: —Unto Caesar, I appeal!
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 conversed with the council, answered—Unto Caesar, hast thou appealed? Unto 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, some days having gone by, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, to salute 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, as they were spending more days there, Festus, repeated, unto the king, the things relating to Paul, saying—A certain man, hath been left behind by Felix, as a prisoner;
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 concerning whom, when I happened to be in Jerusalem, the High-priests and the Elders of the Jews laid information, claiming against him a condemnation:
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 unto whom made answer—That it is not a custom with Romans, to grant as a favour any man, before the accused, face to face, should have his accusers, and, opportunity of defence, should receive, concerning the charge.
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, no delay whatever, making, on the next day, taking my place upon the judgment-seat, I ordered the man to be brought:
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 Concerning whom, taking their stand, his accusers, no accusation at all, were bringing, of the evil things which, I, had been suspecting;
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, certain questions concerning their own demon-worship, had they against him, and concerning one Jesus, who had died, whom Paul was affirming 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 as to the inquiry into these things, was asking—whether he might be minded to go unto Jerusalem, and, there, be judged concerning these things.
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 for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered him to be kept, until I could send him up unto 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 And, Agrippa, [said] unto Festus—I could wish, myself also, to hear, the man. To-morrow, (saith 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 On the morrow, therefore, when Agrippa had come, and Bernice, with great display, and they had entered into the audience-chamber, with the captains of thousands and men of distinction of the city, —and Festus had given orders, Paul was brought.
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 saith—King Agrippa! and all ye men, here present with us: Ye observe this person, concerning whom, one and all the throng of the Jews, have interceded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying aloud that he ought not to be living any longer.
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, I, gathered, that, nothing worthy of death, had he committed; and, this man himself, having appealed unto the Emperor, I decided 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 Concerning whom, anything certain to write unto my lord, I have not; wherefore, I have brought him forth before you, —and especially before thee, King Agrippa! in order that, after examination had, I might have something I could 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, unreasonable, unto me, it seemeth, when sending a prisoner, not also, the accusations against him, to signify.
