Acts 25
1 Festus, [who was now the governor] of the province, arrived in Caesarea, and three days later he went up to Jerusalem.
Da Festas ya shiga lardin, kuma bayan kwana uku, ya tashi daga Kaisariya ya tafi Urushalima.
2 In Jerusalem, the chief priests and [other] Jewish leaders formally told [Festus] about [the things that they said] that Paul [had done that were wrong].
Sai babban firist da manyan Yahudawa suka kawo wa Festas sara a kan Bulus.
3 They urgently asked Festus to do something for them. [They asked him to command soldiers] to bring Paul to Jerusalem, [so that Festus could put him on trial there]. But they were planning that some [of them] would hide [near the road] and wait [for Paul] and kill him when he was traveling [to Jerusalem].
Suka roki tagomashi wurin Festas ya kira Bulus zuwa Urushalima domin su kashe shi a hanya.
4 But Festus replied, “Paul is in Caesarea, and is being guarded {[soldiers] are guarding him} [there]. I myself will go down to Caesarea in a few days.
Amma Festas ya amsa masu cewa, Bulus dan sarka ne a Kaisariya, kuma ba da dadewa ba shi da kansa zai koma can.
5 Choose some of your leaders to go there with me. [While they are there], they can accuse Paul of the wrong things that you say that he has done.”
“Saboda haka duk wadanda za su iya, su biyo mu. Idan akwai wani laifi game da mutumin, sai ku zarge shi.”
6 After Festus had been [in Jerusalem] eight or ten days, he went back down to Caesarea. [Several of the Jewish leaders also went there]. The next day Festus [commanded] that Paul be brought {someone to bring Paul} to him [in the assembly hall] so that he could judge him.
Bayan kwana takwas ko goma, sai ya gangara zuwa Kaisariya. Washegari ya zauna bisa kursiyin shari'a ya bada umarni a kawo Bulus a gabansa.
7 [After] Paul was brought to [the assembly hall], the Jewish [leaders] from Jerusalem gathered around him [to accuse him]. They told [Festus] that Paul had committed many crimes. But they could not prove [that Paul had done the things about which they accused him].
Da Bulus ya iso, Yahudawa daga Urushalima suka tsaya kusa, suka yi ta kawo kararraki, amma basu iya tabbatar da su ba.
8 Then Paul [spoke] to defend himself. He said to Festus, “I have done nothing wrong against the laws of us [(exc)] Jews, and I have not disobeyed the rules concerning our Temple. I have also done nothing wrong against your government [MTY].”
Bulus ya kare kansa ya ce, “Ban yi wa kowa laifi ba, ko Yahudawa, ko haikali, ko kuma Kaisar.”
9 But Festus wanted to please the Jewish [leaders, so] he asked Paul, “Are you [(sg)] willing to go up to Jerusalem so that I can listen as these men accuse you [there]?”
Amma Festas yana neman farin jini wajen Yahudawa, sabo da haka ya tambayi Bulus ya ce, “Kana so ka je Urushalima in shari'anta ka a can game da wadannan abubuwa?”
10 But Paul [did not want to do that. So] he said [to Festus], “[No], I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]! I am [now] standing before you, and you [(sg)] are the judge [whom the Roman] Emperor [MTY] [has authorized. This is the place] where I should be judged {where you should judge me}. I have not wronged the Jewish people [at all], as you know very well.
Bulus ya ce, “Ina tsaye a Ddakalin Shari'ar Kaisar inda dole a shari'anta ni. Ban yi wa Yahudawa laifi ba, kamar yadda ka sani sosai.
11 If I had done something bad [for which I] should be executed {[concerning which the law said that they] should execute me}, I would not plead [with them that they] not kill me. But none of these things about which they accuse me is [true, so] no one can [legally] surrender me to [these Jews]. So I formally request that the emperor [MTY] [should judge me at Rome].”
Idan lallai na yi laifi kuma na yi abin da ya chanchanci mutuwa, ban ki ba in mutu. Amma idan zarginsu karya ne, kada kowa ya bashe ni gare su. Ina daukaka kara zuwa ga Kaisar.”
12 Then after Festus conferred with the [men who regularly] advised him, he replied to Paul, “You [(sg)] have formally requested [that I should send you] to the emperor [in Rome. So I will arrange for] you to go there [in order that he can judge you].”
Bayan Festas ya tattauna da majalisa ya amsa ya ce, “Kana kira ga Kaisar; za ka tafi wurin Kaisar.”
13 After several days, King [Herod] Agrippa arrived at Caesarea, along with [his younger sister] Bernice. They had come to [formally] welcome Festus [as the new Governor of the province].
Bayan wadansu kwanaki, sarki Agaribas da Barniki suka iso Kaisariya domin su ziyarci Festas.
14 King Agrippa and Bernice stayed many days in Caesarea. While [they were] there, Festus told Agrippa about Paul. He said to the king, “There is a man here whom Felix kept in prison [while he was governor]. He left him [there when his time as governor ended].
Da ya kasance kwanaki da yawa, Festas ya fada wa sarki labarin Bulus ya ce, “Akwai wani mutum dan sarka da Filikus ya bari a kurkuku.
15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and [the other] Jewish elders told me that this man had done many things [against their laws]. They asked me to condemn him [to be executed] {judge him [so that people could kill him]}.
Sa'anda nake a Urushalima, babban firist da dattawan Yahudawa suka kawo kararsa gare ni, suka roka a kashe shi.
16 But I told them that when someone has been accused [of a crime, we] Romans do not immediately (condemn that person/declare that person to be guilty). First, we [command] him to stand before the people who are accusing him and to say whether or not he has done those things. [After that, the judge will decide what to do with] him.
Game da wannan na amsa na ce masu, ba al'adar Romawa ba ce a ba da mutum tagomashi; sai wanda ake kararsa an bashi zarafi ya kare kansa a gaban masu kararsa, ya kuma bada hujjojinsa game da kararakin.
17 So those Jews came [here to Caesarea] when I came. I did not delay. The day after [we(exc) arrived], after I sat down at the place where I make decisions, I [commanded] that Paul be brought {[soldiers] to bring Paul} into [the courtroom].
Saboda haka, da duk suka taru ban bata lokaci ba, washegari na zauna a kujerar shari'a, na ba da umarni a kawo mutumin.
18 The Jewish leaders did accuse him, but the things about which they accused him were not any of the [evil] crimes about which I thought [they would accuse him].
Da masu karar suka fadi kararsu, sai na fahimci karar ba wani muhimmin abu a cikinta.
19 Instead, what they argued about with him were some teachings that [some] Jews believe [and others do not believe. They argued] about a man whose name was Jesus who had died, [but the man they were accusing, whose name is] Paul, kept saying, ‘Jesus is alive again.’
Sai dai na ga cewa jayayya ce tsakanin su ta addini a kan wani Yesu da ya mutu, wanda Bulus ya ce yana da rai.
20 I did not know what questions to ask [them, and I did not know how to judge] concerning their dispute. So I asked Paul, ‘Are you [(sg)] willing to go [back] to Jerusalem and have the dispute [between you and these Jews] judged there {and [let me] judge there the dispute [between you and these Jews]}?’
Na rasa yadda zan bincike wannan al'amarin, sai na tambaye shi ko zai je Urushalima a shari'anta shi kan wadannan abubuwa.
21 But Paul answered, ‘[No]. I [am not willing to go to Jerusalem]!
Amma da Bulus ya nemi a lura da shi, Kaisar ya shari'anta shi, sai na ba da umarni a ajiye shi har sai na aika shi wurin Kaisar.”
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.”
Agaribas yace wa Festas. “Zan so ni ma in saurari mutumin nan.” “Gobe za ka ji shi,” in ji Fostus.
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice came very ceremoniously to the assembly hall. Some [Roman] commanders and prominent men in [Caesarea] came with them. Then, Festus told an officer to bring Paul. So after the officer [went to the prison and] brought him,
Washegari Agaribas da Barniki suka zo tare da kasaitaccen taro suka shiga dakin taro tare da hafsoshi da shugabanin gari. Da Festas ya ba da umarni, aka fito da Bulus wurinsu.
24 Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all [the rest of you] who are here, you see this man. Many [HYP] Jews in Jerusalem and also those here [in Caesarea] appealed to me, screaming that we [(exc)] should not let him live any longer.
Festas ya ce, “Sarki Agaribas da dukanku da kuke tare da mu a nan, kun ga mutumin nan, dukan Yahudawa sun gana da ni a Urushalima da nan kuma. Suna mani ihu cewa, bai chanchanta a bar shi da rai ba.
25 But [when I asked them to tell me what he had done, and they told me], I found out that he had not done anything for which he should be executed {[anyone should] execute him}. However, he has asked that our emperor [should judge his case], so I have decided to send him to Rome.
Na gane bai yi wani abin da ya chanchanci mutuwa ba; amma saboda ya daukaka kara zuwa Kaisar, na yanke shawara in aika shi.
26 But I do not know what specifically I should write to the emperor concerning him. That is why I have brought him here. I [want] you all [to hear him speak], and I especially want you [(sg)], King Agrippa, to hear him. Then, after we [(inc)] have questioned him, I may know what I should write [to the emperor about him].
Amma ba ni da wani dalili na musamman da zan rubuta wasika ga Kaisar. Saboda wannan dalili na kawo shi gabanku, masamman kai ya sarki Agaribas. Domin in sami karin abin da zan rubuta game da shi.
27 It seems to me [that it would be] unreasonable to send a prisoner [to the emperor in Rome without my] specifying the [things about which people] are accusing him.”
Gama a ganina wauta ce in aika dan sarka ba tare da na rubuta laifi a kansa ba.”
