1Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
1A HIKI ae la o Peseto i ua panalaau la, a hala na la ekolu, a pii aku la ia i Ierusalema, mai Kaisareia aku.
2where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
2A o ke kahuna nui a me ka poe koikoi o na Iudaio, hoopii aku la lakou no Paulo ia ia, nonoi aku la,
3to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
3A koi aku no hoi ia ia i ka lokomaikai ku e ia ia e kii aku kela ia ia, e hele mai i Ierusalema; e hoohalua ana lakou ma ke alanui e pepehi ia ia.
4But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
4I mai la o Peseto, ma Kaisareia e malamaia'i o Paulo, a oia iho no e hoi koke aku ilaila.
5So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
5I hou mai la ia, O ka poe e hiki o oukou, e iho pu lakou me au; ina he mea hewa iloko o ia kanaka, e hoopii lakou nona.
6After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
6A noho iho la ia me lakou i na la he umi paha a keu, alaila, iho ae la ia i Kaisareia; a ia la ae, noho iho la ia ma ka noho hookolokolo, a kena aku la ia e kaiia mai o Paulo.
7When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
7A hiki mai la ia, ku mai la ka poe Iudaio, i iho mai mai Ierusalema mai, a hoopii aku la ia Paulo i na mea hewa, he nui loa, aole hoi i hiki ia lakou ke hooiaio mai.
8Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
8Olelo iho la ia nona iho, Aole loa au i lawehala ma ke kanawai o na Iudaio, aole hoi ma ka luakini, aole hoi i ko Kaisara.
9But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
9No ka makemake ana o Peseto, e lokomaikai aku i na Iudaio, ninau aku la kela ia Paulo, i aku la, Ke makemake nei anei oe e pii i Ierusalema, a malaila e hookolokoloia'i e au, ma keia mau mea?
10Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
10Alaila, olelo mai o Paulo, Ke ku nei au ma ka noho hookolokolo o Kaisara, i kahi kupono e hookolokoloia mai ai au: aole au i lawehala i na Iudaio, ua ike pono no oe.
11If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
11Ina i hewa au, a ina i hana au i ka mea e pono ai ka make, aole au e hoole aku i ka make; aka, ina he mea ole keia mau mea a lakou e hoopii mai nei ia'u, aole loa e hiki i kekahi ke haawi aku ia'u ia lakou. Ke hoopii nei au ia Kaisara.
12Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
12Alaila, kamailio iho la o Peseto me ka poe ahaolelo, i aku la ia, Ua hoopii oe ia Kaisara, ea! ia Kaisara oe e hele ai.
13After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
13A hala ae la kekahi mau la, hiki mai la i Kaisareia, o Ageripa, ke alii laua me Berenike e aloha mai ia Peseto.
14Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.
14A nui na la a laua i noho ai ilaila, hai aku la o Peseto i ua alii la i na mea a Paulo, i aku la, Ua waihopaaia mai nei kekahi kanaka e Pelika;
15While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.
15I ka wa a'u ma Ierusalema, hai mai la na kahuna nui a me na lunakahiko o na Iudaio ia'u nona, koi mai la lakou e hoahewaia oia.
16I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.
16I aku la au ia lakou, Aole ia o ko Roma aoao, ke haawi aku i kekahi kanaka e make, me ka halawai maka ole o ka mea i hoopiiia, a me ka poe e hoopii mai, a aeia'ku ia e olelo mai nona iho ma na mea i hoopiiia mai nona.
17So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.
17A hiki mai la lakou ia nei, aole au i kali hou aku; ia la ae, noho au ma ka noho hookolokolo, a kena aku la e kaiia mai ua kanaka la.
18But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
18A ku mai la ka poe hoopii ia ia, aole lakou i hoike mai i kekahi mea e like me ko'u manao mua:
19They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19He mau ninau nae ko lakou no ko lakou hoomana ana, e hoopii mai ia ia, a no kekahi Iesu, ka mea i make, a ua hai mai o Paulo, ua ola.
20Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
20A i ko'u kanalua ana no keia hoopaapaa ana, ninau aku la au, Ke makemake nei anei oe e hele i Ierusalema, a malaila e hookolokoloia'i, no keia mau mea?
21But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”
21A i ka Paulo hoopii ana e waihoia'i oia no ka hookolokolo mai o Auguseto, kauoha aku la au e malamaia oia, a hoouna aku au ia ia io Kaisara la.
22Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “Tomorrow you will hear him,” Festus declared.
22Alaila, i ae la o Ageripa ia Peseto, Owau no kekahi e hoolohe aku i na kanaka la. I mai la kela, Apopo e lohe oe ia ia,
23The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
23A ia la ae, hiki mai la o Ageripa, laua me Berenike, me ka hanobano nui, a komo aku la i kahi hoolohe, me na lunatausani, a me na kanaka koikoi o ia kulanakauhale, alaila, kauoha aku o Peseto a kaiia mai o Paulo.
24Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24A olelo ae la o Peseto, E ke alii, e Ageripa e, a me na kanaka a pau me kakou, Ke ike nei oukou i keia kanaka a ka poe Iudaio ma Ierusalema, a maanei no hoi i hoopii mai ai ia'u, a me ke kahea ana, aole ia e pono ke ola hou aku.
25But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
25A ike aku la au, aole ia i hana i ka mea e pono ai ka make, a nana iho i hoopii aku ia Auguseto, manao paa au e hoouna aku ia ia ilaila.
26I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign one about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
26Aole a'u mea e palapala aku ai nona i ko'u haku. No ia mea, ua kai mai au ia ia imua o oukou nei, a imua no hoi ou, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, i loaa ia'u kekahi mea e palapala aku ai, mahope o keia hookolokolo ana.
27For it seems unreasonable to me to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him.”
27No ka mea, aole e pono i ko'u manao ke hoouna aku i ke kanaka paa, me ka hoike ole aku i ka hewa ana i hoopiiia mai ai.
