¹Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea,

¹Haddaba Feestos markuu soo galay gobolkii, ayuu saddex maalmood dabadeed Kaysariya ka tegey, oo wuxuu aaday Yeruusaalem.

²and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on him,

²Markaasaa wadaaddadii sare iyo raggii Yuhuudda u waaweynaa waxay isagii u sheegeen wax Bawlos ka gees ah, wayna baryeen

³asking favour against him, that he may send for him to Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way.

³oo axsaan ka weyddiisteen inuu isaga Yeruusaalem u soo diro; iyagoo shirqool u dhigaya inay jidka ku dilaan.

⁴Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither,

⁴Habase yeeshee Feestos wuxuu ugu jawaabay in Bawlos lagu dhawrayo Kaysariya, iyo in isaga qudhiisuba dhaqsiyo halkaas u aadayo.

⁵`Therefore those able among you — saith he — having come down together, if there be anything in this man — let them accuse him;`

⁵Oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddaba kuwa idinku jira oo amarka lahu aniga ha ila tageen, oo haddii ninkaasu wax qallooc ah leeyahay, iyagu ha dacweeyeen isaga.

⁶and having tarried among them more than ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought;

⁶Oo markuu iyagii dhex joogay in aan ka badnayn siddeed ama toban maalmood, ayuu wuxuu aaday Kaysariya, kolkaasuu maalintii dambe fadhiistay kursigii xukumaadda, oo wuxuu amray in Bawlos la keeno.

⁷and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who have come down from Jerusalem — many and weighty charges they are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove,

⁷Oo kolkuu yimid, Yuhuuddii Yeruusaalem ka timid ayaa hareerihiisii soo istaagtay, oo waxay keeneen dacwooyin badan oo waaweyn, oo ayan iyagu xaqiijin karin.

⁸he making defence — `Neither in regard to the law of the Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar — did I commit any sin.`

⁸Markii Bawlos isdaafacayay, ayuu wuxuu yidhi, Anigu innaba kuma dembaabin sharciga Yuhuudda ama macbudka iyo Kaysar toona.

⁹And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up, there concerning these things to be judged before me?`

⁹Laakiin Feestos isagoo doonaya inuu Yuhuudda kaga farxiyo, ayuu wuxuu ku jawaabay oo Bawlos ku yidhi, Ma doonaysaa inaad Yeruusaalem tagto oo waxyaalahan halkaas hortayda lagugu xukumo?

¹⁰and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing, where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know;

¹⁰Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan hor taaganahay kursigii xukumaadda oo Kaysar; halkanay igu waajib tahay in laygu xukumo. Anigu Yuhuudda innaba xumaan kuma aan samayn, sidaad aad ugu og tahay.

¹¹for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!`

¹¹Haddaba haddii aan xumaan falay oo aan galay wax dhimasho istaahila, geeri diidi maayo; laakiin waxyaalahan ay kuwanu igu dacwaynayaan haddii aan wax run ah lagu arag, ninna iima gacangelin karo iyaga. Waxaan u ashtakoonayaa Kaysar.

¹²then Festus, having communed with the council, answered, `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.`

¹²Markaasaa Feestos, markuu shirka la tashaday, ayuu wuxuu ku jawaabay, Kaysar baad u ashtakootay; Kaysar baad u tegaysaa.

¹³And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus,

¹³Haddaba kolkii dhawr maalmood la soo dhaafay ayaa waxaa Kaysariya yimid oo Feestos soo salaamay boqor Agribba iyo Bernikee.

¹⁴and as they were continuing there more days, Festus submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying, `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner,

¹⁴Oo kolkii ay maalmo badan halkaas joogeen ayaa Feestos wuxuu boqorkii hor dhigay dacwadii Bawlos, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaa jira nin Feelikos ka tegey isagoo maxbuus ah;

¹⁵about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision against him,

¹⁵kaasoo waagii aan Yeruusaalem joogay ay wadaaddadii sare iyo waayeelladii Yuhuuddu igu soo dacweeyeen iyagoo doonaya in la xukumo isagii.

¹⁶unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of defence in regard to the charge laid against [him].

¹⁶Iyagii waxaan ugu jawaabay oo ku idhi, Ma aha caadada reer Rooma in ninna xukumaad loo dhiibo intaan mudduciyaasha layska hor keenin muddacalayga oo la siin fursad uu isaga daafaco xaalka lagu ashtakeeyey.

¹⁷`They, therefore, having come together — I, making no delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal, did command the man to be brought,

¹⁷Haddaba markii ay halkan wada yimaadeen, anigu innaba siima aan raagin ee maalintii dambe ayaan waxaan ku fadhiistay kursigii xukumaadda, oo waxaan amray in ninka la keeno.

¹⁸concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was thinking of,

¹⁸Laakiin markii ay mudduciyaashii istaageen, ma ay keenin innaba wax xumaan ah oo u eg wixii aan filanayay;

¹⁹but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

¹⁹laakiin waxay lahaayeen su'aalo isaga ka gees ah oo ku saabsan diintooda iyo mid Ciise la odhan jiray oo dhintay, laakiin Bawlos leeyahay inuu nool yahay.

²⁰and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this, said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be judged concerning these things —

²⁰Haddaba anigoo ka shakiyaya sidii aan waxyaalahan u sii haybin lahaa, ayaan waxaan isagii weyddiistay bal inuu Yeruusaalem tegayo oo meeshaas lagu xukumo waxyaalahan iyo in kale.

²¹but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him unto Caesar.`

²¹Laakiin markii Bawlos doonayay in la sii hayo ilaa boqorku gar gooyo, waxaan amray in la sii hayo ilaa aan isaga Kaysar u diro.

²²And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself to hear the man;` and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;`

²²Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Feestos ku yidhi, Aniguba waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan ninka maqlo. Markaasuu yidhi, Berritaad maqlaysaa.

²³on the morrow, therefore — on the coming of Agrippa and Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered — Paul was brought forth.

²³Sidaas daraaddeed maalintii dambe ayaa Agribba iyo Bernikee waxay la yimaadeen bandhig weyn, oo waxay soo galeen maxkamaddii, iyaga iyo nimankii sare iyo raggii magaalada ugu waaweynaa. Markaasaa Feestos wuxuu amray in Bawlos loo keeno.

²⁴And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out, He ought not to live any longer;

²⁴Markaasaa Feestos wuxuu yidhi, Boqor Agribba iyo ragga kale oo halkan nala jooga oo dhammow, waxaad arkaysaan ninkan Yuhuudda badan oo dhammu ay iiga soo cabteen Yeruusaalem iyo halkanba, iyagoo ku qaylinaya, Waajib ma aha in ninkanu sii noolaado.

²⁵and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I decided to send him,

²⁵Laakiin waxaan ogaaday inuusan samayn innaba wax dhimasho istaahila; oo isaga qudhiisuba wuxuu u ashtakooday boqorka, sidaas daraaddeed waxaan goostay inaan isaga diro.

²⁶concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my] lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been made, I may have something to write;

²⁶Haddaba anigu ma hayo wax xaqiiqa ah oo ninkan ku saabsan oo aan sayidkayga u qoro. Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan isaga hortiinna u keenay, iyo khusuusan adiga hortaada, boqor Agribbow, in kolkii loo imtixaamo dabadeed aan helo wax aan qoro.Waayo, waxay ila eg tahay caqliyaraan in maxbuus la diro iyadoo aan aad loo xaqiijin wixii lagu ashtakeeyey.

²⁷for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.`

²⁷Waayo, waxay ila eg tahay caqliyaraan in maxbuus la diro iyadoo aan aad loo xaqiijin wixii lagu ashtakeeyey.
