1Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
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.
2Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
2A o ke kahuna nui a me ka poe koikoi o na Iudaio, hoopii aku la lakou no Paulo ia ia, nonoi aku la,
3asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on 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.
4However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
4I mai la o Peseto, ma Kaisareia e malamaia'i o Paulo, a oia iho no e hoi koke aku ilaila.
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.”
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.
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.
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 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,
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.
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.”
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, 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?”
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?
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.
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.
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!”
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, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall 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.
13Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted 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.
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;
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;
15about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
18When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
18A ku mai la ka poe hoopii ia ia, aole lakou i hoike mai i kekahi mea e like me ko'u manao mua:
19but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, 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.
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.
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 had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept 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.
22Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
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,
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.
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.
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.
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 when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined 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.
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.
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 to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify 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.
