1Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cæsarea to Jerusalem.
1Tekah kho te a cawt tih hnin thum phoeiah tah Phesto tah Kaiserea lamloh Jerusalem la cet.
2Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
2Te vaengah Paul te khosoihham rhoek neh Judah rhoek kah a cong a khang rhoek loh anih taengla a phoe puei uh.
3And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
3Paul te khaw Jerusalem la tah ham a taengah lungvatnah neh a bih uh tih anih te a hloep uh. A longpueng ah ngawn ham rhongngolnah a khueh uh.
4But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cæsarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither .
4Tedae Paul te Kaiserea ah khoem ham Phesto loh a thui pah tih amah tah thamaa la cet ham cai.
5Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me , and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
5Te dongah, “Nangmih khuiah tatthai rhoek ha suntla uh lamtah tekah hlang taengah aka lang pakhat khaw a om atah anih paelnaeh nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
6And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cæsarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
6Amih taengah hnin rhet neh hnin rha hlai pataeng om mueh la Kaiserea la cet. A vuen ah ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih Paul hang khuen ham te ol a paek.
7And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
7Amah ha pawk vaengah Jerusalem lamkah aka suntla Judah rhoek loh anih te a pai thil uh. Te vaengah paelnaehnah a rhih la muep a nan thil te phoe thai uh pawh.
8While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Cæsar, have I offended any thing at all.
8Paul loh, “Judah rhoek kah olkhueng soah khaw, bawkim soah khaw, Kaisar soah khaw pakhat pataeng ka tholh moenih, “tila amah te huul uh.
9But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
9Tedae Phesto loh Judah rhoek te lungvatnah tueng sak a ngaih dongah Paul te a doo tih, “Jerusalem la n'cet vetih kamah loh hekah lai kawng neh lai ka tloek pahoi ham na ngaih a? ” a ti nah.
10Then said Paul, I stand at Cæsar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
10Te vaengah Paul loh, “Kaisar kah ngolkhoel hmaiah ka pai tih ka om phoeiah kai laitloek ham te melae a kuek bal pueng. Rhep na ming van bangla Judah rhoek te ka veet moenih.
11For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Cæsar.
11Te dongah ka thae tih dueknah neh a tiing la khat khat ni ka saii oeh atah duek ham khaw ka thaanah moenih. Tedae amih loh kai m'paelnaeh te a om pawt atah kai he amih kut ah n'tloeng thai mahpawh. Kaisar taengah khaw ka thui pueng ni,” a ti nah.
12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Cæsar? unto Cæsar shalt thou go.
12Te phoeiah Phesto tah khoboei te a voek tih, “Kaisar taengah khaw thui, Kaisar taengah cet,” a ti nah.
13And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cæsarea to salute Festus.
13Khohnin voelh a poeng daengah manghai Agrippa neh Bernike tah Phesto te kuttuk hamla Kaiserea te ham pha rhoi.
14And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul’s cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
14Te ah te khohnin a yet a om rhoi vaengah Phesto loh Paul te manghai taengah a phoe saloel tih, “Phelix loh a caehtak hlang pakhat thongtla om.
15About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me , desiring to have judgment against him.
15Anih he dantatnah khueh thil ham khosoihham rhoek neh Judah patong rhoek loh ham bih uh te Jerusalem la ka om vaengah ka phoe puei coeng.
16To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
16Amih te, “Hlang pakhat tloeng tarha ham Roman khosing a om moenih. A paelnaeh loh aka paelnaehkung te maelhmai hmuh ham hmuen a om hlan atah, te daengah man dumlai kawng ah olthungnah a dang ve,” tila ka doo.
17Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
17Te dongah amih a tingtun uh neh uelhnah om pawh. A vuen ah laitloek ngolkhoel dongah ka ngol tih hlang te hang khuen ham ol ka paek.
18Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
18Paelnaehkung rhoek loh pai uh tih paelnaehnah hang khuen uh te ka poek bangla a thae moenih.
19But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19Tedae a bawknah kawng neh oldawtnah dongah aka duek tangtae Jesuh te Paul loh hing sak ham a cai te ni anih taengkah ol la a khueh uh.
20And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
20Tekah olpungnah kawng he kai khaw ka ingang sut.Te dongah , 'Jerusalem la cet tih hekah a kawng he laitloek sak ham cai a?’ ka ti nah.
21But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Cæsar.
21Tedae Paul loh, 'Angrhaeng kah a hnayaak due khaw amah te ng'khoem mai dae,’ a ti. Te dongah Anih he Kaisar taengla ka tueih hlan atah anih te khoembael ham ni ol ka paek,” a ti nah.
22Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22Te vaengah Agrippa loh Phesto taengah, “Amah khaw a ol hnatun ham ka ngaih,” a ti nah hatah, “Thangvuen ah na yaak bitni ,” a ti nah.
23And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus’ commandment Paul was brought forth.
23Te dongah a vuen atah Agrippa neh Bernike tah a songsang neh muep ha pawk rhoi tih rhalboeipa rhoek khaw, kho khuikah a cong a khang hlang rhoek te khaw impuei la kun uh. Te phoeiah Phesto te ol a paek tih Paul te a khue sak.
24And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
24Te phoeiah Phesto loh, “Agrippa manghai neh kaimih taengkah kut at catlim hlang rhoek boeih aw, anih he na hmuh uh coeng, anih kawng dongah Judah rhaengpuei boeih loh Jerusalem ah khaw, he ah khaw, kai taengah huithui uh tih, 'Anih he a hing ham a kuek voel moenih, ' tila pang uh.
25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
25Tedae anih loh dueknah neh aka tiingla kho a boe pawt te ka hmuh. Amah long khaw angrhaeng te a phoei thil oeh dongah tueih ham ol ka tloek.
26Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
26Anih kawng he boeipa taengah pakhat khaw rhep daek ham ka khueh moenih. Te dongah anih he nangmih hmai neh olpuei la manghai Agrippa, namah hmaiah kam phoe puei . Te daengah ni boelhnah aka om te ka dueh vetih pakhat khaw ka daek eh.
27For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
27Thongtla n'tueih tarha khaw kai tah khohmang rhaita lamni ka ngai, anih a paelnaeh uh thil te khaw phoe hae mahpawh,” a ti nah.
