1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days, he went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1Len tolu tukun Festus el tuku nu in facl sac, el som Caesarea lac nu Jerusalem,
2And the chief priests, and principal men of the Jews, went unto him against Paul: and they besought him,
2yen ma mwet tol fulat ac mwet kol lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul Paul nu sel. Elos kwafe sel Festus
3Requesting favour against him, that he would command him to be brought to Jerusalem, laying wait to kill him in the way.
3elan welulos ke nunak lalos in usalu Paul nu Jerusalem, mweyen elos akoo in unilya inkanek uh ke el tuku uh.
4But Festus answered: That Paul was kept in Caesarea, and that he himself would very shortly depart thither.
4A Festus el fahk, “Paul el kapir oasr Caesarea, ac nga ac folokla nu we ke pacl na sa.
5Let them, therefore, saith he, among you that are able, go down with me, and accuse him, if there be any crime in the man.
5Lela mwet kol lowos an in wiyu som nu Caesarea, ac srukak mwe alein lowos an we, fin oasr ma koluk el orala.”
6And having tarried among them no more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and the next day he sat in the judgment seat; and commanded Paul to be brought.
6Festus el muta yorolos ke len oalkosr ku singoul, na el fah som nu Caesarea. Ke len se tok ah, el muta ke acn in nununku ac sap in utuku Paul.
7Who being brought, the Jews stood about him, who were come down from Jerusalem, objecting many and grievous causes, which they could not prove;
7Ke Paul el utyak, mwet Jew ma tuku Jerusalem me elos tu raunella, ac tukakunul ke ma koluk na yohk puspis, a elos tia ku in akpwayei.
8Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing.
8Tusruktu Paul el sifacna loangel ac fahk, “Wangin ma koluk nga orala lain Ma Sap lun mwet Jew, ku lain Tempul, ku lain Tokosra Fulat lun mwet Rome.”
9But Festus, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, answering Paul, said: Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
9Tusruktu Festus el lungse akinsewowoye mwet Jew uh, oru el siyuk sel Paul, “Ya kom lungse som nu Jerusalem in tuh nununkeyuk kom we ye mutuk, ke ma tukakinyuk kom kac inge?”
10Then Paul said: I stand at Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no injury, as thou very well knowest.
10Paul el fahk, “Inge nga tu ke acn in nununku lun Tokosra Fulat, yen se ma fal in nununkeyuk nga we. Wangin ma sufal nga orala nu sin mwet Jew uh, oana ke kom sifacna etu uh.
11For if I have injured them, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them: I appeal to Caesar.
11Nga fin kunausla ma sap, ku orala kutena ma koluk su fal in anwuki nga kac, nga tia suk in kaingkunla ma inge. Tusruk, fin tia pwaye ma elos tukakinyu kac uh, wangin mwet ku in eisyuyang nu selos. Nga lungse sruhk ma inge nu ke nununku lun Tokosra Fulat.”
12Then Festus having conferred with the council, answered: Hast thou appealed to Caesar? To Caesar shalt thou go.
12Na tukun Festus el lolngok yurin mwet kasru lal, el fahk, “Kom siyuk tari tuh kom in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ouinge ac fah supweyukla kom nwe yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
13And after some days, king Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to salute Festus.
13In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Agrippa ac Bernice tuku nu Caesarea in tuh paingul Festus nu we.
14And as they tarried there many days, Festus told the king of Paul, saying: A certain man was left prisoner by Felix.
14Tukun eltal muta we ke kutu len, Festus el aketeya nu sin tokosra sac tukak ma orek lainul Paul. El fahk, “Mwet se oasr inge su Felix el tuh filiyana in presin ke el som.
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests, and the ancients of the Jews, came unto me, desiring condemnation against him.
15Ac ke nga tuh som nu Jerusalem, mwet tol fulat ac un mwet matu lun mwet Jew elos tukakunul nu sik ac siyuk ngan fahk mu oasr mwatal.
16To whom I answered: It is not the custom of the Romans to condemn any man, before that he who is accused have his accusers present, and have liberty to make his answer, to clear himself of the things laid to his charge.
16Tuh nga fahkang nu selos mu kut mwet Rome uh tia wi sang mwatan mwet tukakyak ke ma koluk nwe ke na el, ac mwet ma tukakunul uh, ngetani in nununku, elan ku in loangel sifacna ye mutun mwet lainul uh.
17When therefore they were come hither, without any delay, on the day following, sitting in the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought.
17Ke elos tuku nu yenu, nga tia sisla pacl, a ke len se na tok ah nga som nu ke nien nununku, ac sap in utuku mwet sac.
18Against whom, when the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation of things which I thought ill of:
18Mwet ma lainul uh elos tuyak, tusruktu elos tiana lainul ke kutena ma koluk ma nga nunku mu elos ac tukakunul kac uh.
19But had certain questions of their own superstition against him, and of one Jesus deceased, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19Pwayena ma elos lainul kac uh pa akukuin na ke alu lalos uh, ac ke mwet se pangpang Jesus su misa tari, tuh Paul el fahk mu el moul.
20I therefore being in a doubt of this manner of question, asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things.
20Nga tuh tia ku in etu lah nga ac eis fuka mwe akpwayeye ma inge, pwanang nga tuh siyuk sel Paul lah el ac tia lungse som nu Jerusalem in orek lohngyuk se inge we ke ma tukakinyuk el kac uh.
21But Paul appealing to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept, till I might send him to Caesar.
21Tusruktu Paul el tuh sruhk lohngyuk kacl uh in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat, ac elan mutana ke acn se ac taranyuk el sin mwet liyaung presin. Na pa nga sap elan mutana in presin nwe ke na nga ku in supwalla nu yorol Tokosra Fulat.”
22And Agrippa said to Festus: I would also hear the man, myself. Tomorrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22Agrippa el fahk nu sel Festus, “Nga ke sifacna lohng sramsram lun mwet se inge.” Na Festus el fahk, “Kom ac fah lohngol lutu.”
23And on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice were come with great pomp, and had entered into the hall of audience, with the tribunes, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment, Paul was brought forth.
23Ke len tok ah Agrippa ac Bernice eltal tuku nu ke lohm in tukeni lulap, ac ke eltal utyak mwet uh akfulatyaltal ke kain in akfulat puspis. Mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, oayapa leum lun siti uh wi pac tukeni sac. Na Festus el sap in utuku Paul.
24And Festus saith: King Agrippa, and all ye men who are here present with us, you see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews dealt with me at Jerusalem, requesting and crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
24Festus el fahk, “Tokosra Agrippa, ac kowos nukewa su wi tukeni se inge! Kowos liye mwet se inge, su mwet Jew nukewa in acn Jerusalem, ac elos su muta yenu, elos use kas in lain puspis kacl nu yuruk. Elos wowoyak mu in tia lela elan moul.
25Yet have I found nothing that he hath committed worthy of death. But forasmuch as he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
25Tuh nga tiana ku in konauk lah oasr ma koluk el orala ma fal in anwuki el kac. Ac ke el sifacna siyuk lohngyuk kacl uh in orek sel Tokosra Fulat, nga wotela tari nga in supwalla nu yorol.
26Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O king Agrippa, that examination being made, I may have what to write.
26Tuh wanginna kas kalem kacl yuruk ma fal nga in sim fahk nu sin Tokosra Fulat. Pa inge sripa se oru nga usalu nu ye motowos — yokna nu sum, Tokosra Agrippa! — tuh ke tari lohngyuk kacl uh, na ac fah oasr ma nga ku in simis fahk kacl.
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not to signify the things laid to his charge.
27Mweyen wangin sripa nga in supwala sie mwet kapir, nga fin tia akkalemye ma lainyuk el kac uh.”
