Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1Festus mitaia kapakapara ngamala wonina, nau ditji parkulani Cäsareandru Jerusalemia tarana wonti.
2Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
2Priesta pirnali ja Juda kanaia kaparali nunkangu ngulkuterkana wonti Paulungundru, ja nina kurukurubana wonti,
3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
3Ja nunkangundru murla ngatjina wonti, nulu nina Jerusalemia karkananto, ngangau tanali ngundrana wonti, nina paltuni nari ngankala.
4However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
4Festulu kalabana wonti: Ngato Paulus Cäsareangu ngamalkala nganai, ja ngani wolja nakanika tikala nganai.
5“Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
5„Jendrania“, nau jatana wonti, „kana pirna jurangundru ngakangunto jela ngarinanto, ja madlentji kulno nunkangupini kanani ngananani, tana nunkangu ngulkuterkananto.“
6When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.
6Nau tanangu jela ditji palpa morla ditji marapratjani matja ngamana, nau Cäsareaja ngarina wonti, ja ditji kulnuni nau kalala pirini ngamana ngarina wonti, ja jirijiribana wonti Paulus wokaralkananto.
7When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,
7Nau matja wokarana, Juda kana, tana Jerusalemingundru matja ngarina, nina kapikapina terkana karitjina wonti, ja ngulku marapu ja pirna Paulungu wokaralkana wonti, ja tanali ngandandarina wonti jenia morlalu kurala,
8while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
8Nau jurajuralkijiribaterinani: „Ngato wata Juda kanaia jirijiribani jaurani, ja wata Godaia pungani, ja wata mitaia kaparani madlentji ngankana warai.“
9But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”
9Festulu ngantjana wonti Juda kanandru jurakokani manila, ja Paulungu kalabana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Jundru ngantjai Jerusalemia tarala, ja ngato jinkangu naka nunkangundru kalala jinkinanto?“
10But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
10Paululu kalabana wonti: „Ngani mitaia kaparaia kalala pirini terkala wapaia, ja ninkida ngato kalala maninanto; Juda kanani ngato wata madlentji ngankana warai, worderu bakana jundru morlalu ngujamai.
11For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
11Ngani talku panini ngananani, ja madlentji ngankana warai naria, ngani wata delkiai nari manila, jenia baku ngananani, minandru tanali ngakangu ngulkuterkai, kanali ngandandariai ngana tanangu wondawondala. Ngani mitaia kaparani karkai.“
12Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
12Jendranguta Festus kana kaparani ngankamalina wonti ja kalabana wonti: „Mitaia kaparani jundru karkala wapaia, mitaia kaparani jidni palkananto.“
13Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
13Ditji palpa matja mudana, mitaia kapara Agrippas ja Bernice Cäsareangu wokarana wonti Festungu mandurila.
14As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
14Pudla ditji marapu naka matja ngamana, Festulu mitaia kaparani Pauluni poto kaukaubana wonti ja jatana wonti: „Felix materi kulno worarana paraia kanjangarila.
15about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
15Nunkangundru Priesta pirnali ja Juda kanaia pinarali, ngani Jerusalemingu matja wokarana, ngulkuterkana paraia, ja nunkangundru kalala ngatjina paraia,
16I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.
16Tanangu ngato kalabana paraia, Romalaia mangini wata jenia nganai, kana kulno naria jinkila, wata nulu, nina tanali ngulkuterkai, nunkani ngulkuterkanietja mudlani ngamalkanani, ja nau munta talku ngankaterinanto.
17When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.
17Tana ninkida matja wokarana, ngato wata kalkana paraia, a‐ai, ditji kulnuni ngani kalala pirini ngamana ngarina paraia ja jirijiribana paraia, nina materi wokaralkala.
18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
18Ngulkuetja matja terkakana, tanali wata jeruja nunkangundru ngulkuterkana paraia, worderu ngato ngundrana paraia,
19but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
19A‐ai tanali nunkangu tirijakalkani jaura palpa ngamalkana paraia, tanani Godani wodatarana ngamanandru, ja Jesu kulnundru, Nauja matja palina, nunkangundru Paululu morlalu kurana paraia, Nauja tepi nganai.
20Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
20Ngangau ngani nunkangupini wontjanandru ko nganana paraia, ngani jatana paraia, nulu ngantjai kara Jerusalemia tarala ja naka jendrangundruja kalala manila.
21But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”
21Ngangau Paulus nunkangu parana paraia, nina Augustus ngamalkananto, ngato jirijiribana paraia nina ngamalkala, ngato nina mitaia kaparani jinpalalu.“
22Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
22Agrippas Festungu jatana wonti: „Ngani bakana wolkareli nganai ninapini kana ngarala.“ Nau jatana wonti: „Tankubana jundru nina ngarananto.“
23So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.
23Ditji kulnuni Agrippas ja Bernice tjirkatjirkaraterini ngumu marapujeli wokaranani, ja jakalkijiribamalini pirini wirinani juljaia kaparanto, ja nguraia kana pirnanto, ja Festulu jirijiribanani, tanali Paulus wokaralkana wonti.
24Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom all the multitude of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
24Ja Festus jatana wonti: „Mitaia kapara Agrippajai, ja materi pratjanajai, jura ninkida ngamai, jura ninkida ninapini najila wapaia, nunkangundru Juda kana wolarali Jerusalemingu, ja bakana ninkida ngana jupana paraia, ja miritja ngankana paraia, nauja wata tepi ngamananto.
25But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
25Ngato mankamankana paraia, nulia panila ngankana paraia, jendrangundruja nulia kalala nari maninanto, ja ngangau nulia muntali Augustus karkana paraia, ngato ngundrana paraia, ninaia jinpala.
26of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.
26Ngato panila morlalu milkila nunkangundru kaparani dakala; jendrania ngato ninaia jurangu ja pilki jinkangu mitaia kapara Agrippajai, wokaralkana warai, ngangau ngato, ninaia matja jinpanani, palpa ngamalkananto dakala.
27For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
27Ngangau jenia ngakangu tjuru pani jeri nganai, kanjangarila ngulku panini jinpala.“
