< Sinthongei 25 >

1 Hanchu Festus'n ha ramhuol hah a tunga, sûnthum suole chu Caesarea renga Jerusalema a sea.

Festus, having entered on his duties as governor of the province, two days later went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem.

2 Mahan ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin Paul hah an hong tuonga an nônna Festus kôm han an ngêna

The High Priests and the leading men among the Jews immediately made representations to him against Paul, and begged him--

3 an nuomna thope ngeia Paul hah Jerusalema hong tuong rangin, asikchu lampuia lei that rang an bôk sikin.

asking it as a favour, to Paul's prejudice--to have him brought to Jerusalem. They were planning an ambush to kill him on the way.

4 Festus a thuona, “Paul hi Caesarea intâng ina lei dar ania male keima khom mason se nôk lei rang ki ni.

Festus, however, replied that Paul was in custody in Caesarea, and that he was himself going there very soon.

5 Nin ruoipungei Caesarea tena mi jûi senla ngei ma miriem hah a tho lei minchâina aomin chu juong nôn rese ngei,” a tia.

"Therefore let those of you," he said, "who can come, go down with me, and impeach the man, if there is anything amiss in him."

6 Festus hah sûn riet mini, sûn sôm mini, anni ngei leh ala châma male Caesarea tieng a se zoi. Anangtûka chu roijêkna ânsunga Paul hah hong tuong rangin chong a pêka.

After a stay of eight or ten days in Jerusalem--not more--he went down to Caesarea; and the next day, taking his seat on the tribunal, he ordered Paul to be brought in.

7 Paul hah a hong tung lechu a kôm han Jerusalem renga juong Judangei hah a rihîla an indinga an nônna thurchi tamtak an misîra, minthârna man mak ngei.

Upon Paul's arrival, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood round him, and brought many grave charges against him which they were unable to substantiate.

8 Aniatachu Paul han athenin ânrunga: “Judangei balam roia, Biekin roia nônchu Caesar chunga khom ite minchâiin doina lei tho mu-ung,” a tia.

But, in reply, Paul said, "Neither against the Jewish Law, nor against the Temple, nor against Caesar, have I committed any offence whatever."

9 Hannirese Festus han Judangei modômna man rang a nuomna, masikin Paul kôm han a rekela, “Jerusalema sea, ka makunga nang an nônna ngei hih khi taka hôn jêk rang nu nuom mo?” a tia.

Then Festus, being anxious to gratify the Jews, asked Paul, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem, and there stand your trial before me on these charges?"

10 Paul'n, “Caesar roijêkna makunga ko roi an jêkna muna jêk pea om rang piela inding ki ni. Judangei chunga ite minchâina dôn mu ung ti nangma khom ni riet sai ania.

"I am standing before Caesar's tribunal," replied Paul, "where alone I ought to be tried. The Jews have no real ground of complaint against me, as in fact you yourself are beginning to see more clearly.

11 Balam ki minchâia, thi rang dôrin minchâina ko dôn anîn chu, thi rang khomin kên phal. Hannirese min nônna ngei hi adikloi anin chu tutên an kôm mi pêk thei no ni ngei Caesar kôm tung ki tih,” a tia.

If, however, I have done wrong and have committed any offence for which I deserve to die, I do not ask to be excused that penalty. But if there is no truth in what these men allege against me, no one has the right to give me up to them as a favour. I appeal to Caesar."

12 Hanchu Festus roijêkpungei, a chongpui suole chu, “Caesar kôm tung rang nu nuom lam angtakin tung ni tih,” a tia.

Then, after conferring with the Council, Festus replied, "To Caesar you have appealed: to Caesar you shall go."

13 Sûn idôr mini avun suole chu Rêng Agrippa le Bernice Caesarea an hong tunga Festus mirit an pêka.

A short time after this, Agrippa the king and Bernice came to Caesarea to pay a complimentary visit to Festus;

14 Sûn tamtak an om nûkin, Festus'n Paul thurchi ngei hah Rêng kôm han a misîr pea Felix han mi inkhat intâng ina hin a mâka.

and, during their rather long stay, Festus laid Paul's case before the king. "There is a man here," he said, "whom Felix left a prisoner,

15 Jerusalema ke sea han, Juda Ochaisingei le Juda ruoipungeiin asân an lei nônna dikloi minchang ngêt rangin ko kôm an ngêna.

about whom, when I went to Jerusalem, the High Priests and the Elders of the Jews made representations to me, begging that sentence might be pronounced against him.

16 Aniatachu hi anghin ki tipe ngei, “An nônpu le a nônpungei mâi intongin, an nônpu han an nônna roia han a dikna thurchi misîr rang a riet khâi noa, dikloi ani ti ânlang mân chu mojôk rang hih Rom mingei balam nimak.

My reply was that it is not the custom among the Romans to give up any one for punishment before the accused has had his accusers face to face, and has had an opportunity of defending himself against the charge which has been brought against him.

17 Mahin an juong tung suo nûkin zora sôtloiin anangtûka roijêkna taka kên sunga, ama hah hong tuong rangin chong ke pêka.

"When, therefore, a number of them came here, the next day I took my seat on the tribunal, without any loss of time, and ordered the man to be brought in.

18 A nônpungei hah an indinga, aniatachu Paul chunga han ma dôra dikloina khoite an misîr angin riet mu-ung.

But, when his accusers stood up, they did not charge him with the misdemeanours of which I had been suspecting him.

19 An inkhalnangei senkhat ha chu sakhuo roia ania mi inkhat a riming Jisua an ti, ama hah a thia; aniatachu Paul'n ama hah aring nôk a tia.

But they quarrelled with him about certain matters connected with their own religion, and about one Jesus who had died, but--so Paul persistently maintained--is now alive.

20 Keiman chu ma thurchi ngei ha chu a jêkna chang khom riet mu-ung, masikin keiman Paul ke rekela Jerusalema a sea mahan ajêk rangin nu nuom mo? tiin ke rekela.

I was at a loss how to investigate such questions, and asked Paul whether he would care to go to Jerusalem and there stand his trial on these matters.

21 Aniatachu Paul han Caesar jêk pe rangin a ngên sikin, ki min se thei mân chu lei donsûi rangin chong ke pêk ngei ani,” a tia.

But when Paul appealed to have his case kept for the Emperor's decision, I ordered him to be kept in prison until I could send him up to Caesar."

22 Agrippa han Festus kôm, “Kei khom ma miriem hah a chong rangâi rang ku nuom,” a tia. Festus'n “Nangtûka rangâi ni tih,” tiin a thuona.

"I should like to hear the man myself," said Agrippa. "to-morrow," replied Festus, "you shall." Accordingly, the next day, Agrippa and Bernice came in state

23 Anangtûka chu Agrippa le Bernice han inlal takin mipuingei intûpna an va lûta, râlmi ulienngei le khopuilien sûnga ulienngei khom an oma. Hanchu Festus chongpêkin Paul an hong tuonga.

and took their seats in the Judgement Hall, attended by the Tribunes and the men of high rank in the city; and, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

24 Festus han, “Rêng Agrippa le kin kôma omngei murdi, hi mi hih nin mu ania, Judangei murdi'n hi taka omngei le Jerusalema omngei murdi'n ko kôm an juong nônna min ring khâiloi rangin an in-iek.

Then Festus said, "King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see here the man about whom the whole nation of the Jews made suit to me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.

25 Hannisenla thina rang dôr ite tho minchâina dôn mak ti ki rieta. Aniatachu ama'n Ceasar kôm tung rang a nuom sikin tîr rangin ki ti ani.

I could not discover that he had done anything for which he deserved to die; but as he has himself appealed to the Emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome.

26 Aniatachu, a thurchi hi Ceasar kôm ki miziek rang hi ânthârin riet mu-ung, masikin nin kôm ko hong tuong ani hi, Rêng Agrippa nangma kôm hin ani uol, a chungroi nin phuol suole, a miziek rang imakhat ko dôn thei rang.

I have nothing very definite, however, to tell our Sovereign about him. So I have brought the man before you all--and especially before you, King Agrippa--that after he has been examined I may find something which I can put into writing.

27 Asikchu mi intâng ina om, an nônna bi inthârlaka ril loia tîr rang chu keima rangin omzie boi aphuo rang,” a tia.

For, when sending a prisoner to Rome, it seems to me to be absurd not to state the charges against him."
