1Festus therefore, being come into the eparchy, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
1 Fastos binde, kaŋ a furo nga koytara nango ra, a jirbi hinza banda, a tun Kaysariya ka koy Urusalima.
2And the chief priests and the chief of the Jews laid informations before him against Paul, and besought him,
2 Yahudancey alfaga beerey da koyey kande Bulos kalima a do. I n'a ŋwaaray
3asking as a grace against him that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying people in wait to kill him on the way.
3 ka gaakuri ceeci a do ka ne a ma donton ka kande Bulos Urusalima. I ga ba ngey m'a kosaray k'a wi fonda boŋ.
4Festus therefore answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to set out shortly.
4 Amma Fastos tu ka ne: «I goono ga Bulos gaay k'a batu Kaysariya. Ne da jirbiyaŋ, ay bumbo mo ga tun ka koy noodin.
5Let therefore the persons of authority among you, says he, going down too, if there be anything in this man, accuse him.
5 Kal araŋ ra borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ti dabarikooniyaŋ ma kaa ay banda. Da mo i di taali fo bora gaa, kal i ma kande a kalima.»
6And having remained among them not more than eight or ten days, he went down to Caesarea; and on the next day, having sat down on the judgment-seat, commanded Paul to be brought.
6 Waato kaŋ a goro noodin, a mana bisa jirbi ahakku wala iway, kal a koy Kaysariya. A suba mo a goro ciiti karga boŋ. A lordi ka ne i ma kande Bulos.
7And when he was come, the Jews who were come down from Jerusalem stood round, bringing many and grievous charges which they were not able to prove:
7 Waato kaŋ Bulos kaa, Yahudancey kaŋ fun Urusalima kay k'a windi. I kande kalima laalo boobo a boŋ, kaŋ yaŋ i si hin k'i tabbatandi.
8Paul answering for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended [in] anything.
8 Bulos mo na nga boŋ fansa sambu ka ne: «Baa Yahudancey asariya wala Irikoy windo gaa, wala Kaysar do, ay mana taali te baa kayna.»
9But Festus, desirous of obliging the Jews, to acquire their favour, answering Paul, said, Art thou willing to go up to Jerusalem, there to be judged before me concerning these things?
9 Amma Fastos, zama a ga ba nga ma du gaakuri Yahudancey do, tu Bulos se ka ne: «Ni ga ba ni ma koy Urusalima, i ma ciiti ni se hayey din boŋ ay jine noodin?»
10But Paul said, I am standing before the judgment-seat of Caesar, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews have I done no wrong, as *thou* also very well knowest.
10 Amma Bulos ne: «Kaysar ciiti karga jine no ay go ga kay, nango kaŋ ga hima i ma ciiti ay se. Ay mana taali te Yahudancey se, ni mo ga woodin bay gumo!
11If then I have done any wrong and committed anything worthy of death, I do not deprecate dying; but if there is nothing of those things of which they accuse me, no man can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
11 D'ay ya taali-teeri no, hala mo ay na hay fo te kaŋ to buuyaŋ, ay mana wangu buuyaŋo. Amma hala day wo kaŋ borey wo goono g'ay kalima nd'a, cimi kulu si a ra, yaadin gaa boro kulu sinda dabari k'ay nooyandi i se. Ay kond'ay ŋwaarayyaŋo Kaysar do.»
12Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, Thou hast appealed to Caesar. To Caesar shalt thou go.
12 Gaa no Fastos, waato kaŋ a saaware nda ciiti marga borey, tu ka ne: «Ni konda ni ŋwaarayyaŋo Kaysar do, ni ga koy Kaysar jine mo!»
13And when certain days had elapsed, Agrippa the king and Bernice arrived at Caesarea to salute Festus.
13 A go mo, waato kaŋ jirbiyaŋ bisa, Bonkoono Agariba da Barnisi kaa Kaysariya ka Fastos fo.
14And when they had spent many days there, Festus laid before the king the matters relating to Paul, saying, There is a certain man left prisoner by Felix,
14 I te jirbi boobo noodin. Kala Fastos kande Bulos sanni i do ka ne: «Boro fo go no ne kaŋ Filikos naŋ kaso ra.
15concerning whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews laid informations, requiring judgment against him:
15 Waato kaŋ ay go Urusalima, alfaga beerey da Yahudancey arkusey kande a kalima. I ŋwaaray ka ne i ma ciiti a se k'a di.
16to whom I answered, It is not [the] custom of the Romans to give up any man before that the accused have the accusers face to face, and he have got opportunity of defence touching the charge.
16 Amma ay tu i se ka ne: ‹A manti Romey alaada no i ma boro nooyandi, za i mana boro kaŋ i kalima d'a kalimakoy kubandi mo-da-mo, hala bora kaŋ i ga kalima din ma du daama ka kay ka nga boŋ fansa sambu kalima kaŋ i goono ga kande a boŋ din se.›
17When therefore they had come together here, without putting it off, I sat the next day on the judgment-seat and commanded the man to be brought:
17 Waato kaŋ binde i margu neewo, ay mana gay, amma a wane suba ay goro ciiti karga boŋ. Ay lordi ka ne i ma kande bora din.
18concerning whom the accusers, standing up, brought no such accusation of guilt as *I* supposed;
18 A boŋ binde, waato kaŋ a kalimakoy kay, i mana kande hari laalo kulu kalima a boŋ, mate kaŋ ay wo tammahã.
19but had against him certain questions of their own system of worship, and concerning a certain Jesus who is dead, whom Paul affirmed to be living.
19 Amma i kakawyaŋo ga ti i diina do haray sanni fooyaŋ, da boro fo sanni, Yesu kaŋ bu, amma kaŋ Bulos goono ga tabbatandi ka ne a goono ga funa.
20And as I myself was at a loss as to an inquiry into these things, I said, Was he willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things?
20 Ay wo binde, za kaŋ yana du ka bay mate kaŋ ay ga te ka sanno din guna, ay n'a hã hal a ga ba nga ma koy Urusalima, i ma ciiti a se noodin hayey din boŋ.
21But Paul having appealed to be kept for the cognisance of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I shall send him to Caesar.
21 Amma waato kaŋ Bulos ŋwaaray ka ne i ma nga gaay hala koyo ma sanno dumbu, ay mo lordi ka ne i m'a gaay hal ay ma du k'a donton Kaysar _(kaŋ ga ti koyo din)|_ do.»
22And Agrippa [said] to Festus, I myself also would desire to hear the man. To-morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
22 Agariba ne Fastos se: «Ay bumbo ga ba ya hangan bora din se.» Fastos mo ne: «Suba no ni ga maa a sanno.»
23On the morrow therefore, Agrippa being come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and having entered into the hall of audience, with the chiliarchs and the men of distinction of the city, and Festus having given command, Paul was brought.
23 A suba mo, waato kaŋ Agariba da Barnisi kaa, da koytaray zankamyaŋ, i furo saaware fuwo ra, da wongu nya boobo, da kwaara boro beerey. Fastos lordo boŋ no i kande Bulos.
24And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men who are here present with us, ye see this person, concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews applied to me both in Jerusalem and here, crying out against [him] that he ought not to live any longer.
24 Fastos mo ne: «Bonkoono Agariba, d'araŋ borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go ne iri banda, araŋ go ga di bora kaŋ Yahudancey jama n'ay ŋwaaray a boŋ Urusalima ra, hala ka kaa neewo mo. I goono ga ngey jindey sambu ka ne a si hima a ma funa koyne.
25But I, having found that he had done nothing worthy of death, and this [man] himself having appealed to Augustus, I have decided to send him;
25 Amma ay wo di a mana hay fo te kaŋ to buuyaŋ. Amma za kaŋ nga bumbo konda nga ŋwaarayyaŋo koyo do, ay mo na sanka sambu ay m'a donton.
26concerning whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. Wherefore I have brought him before you, and specially before thee, king Agrippa, so that an examination having been gone into I may have something to write:
26 Ay sinda hay kulu kaŋ ga tabbatandi a boŋ, kaŋ ay ga hantum ay koyo se. Woodin sabbay se no ay kand'a ne araŋ jine, hala ni bumbo jine, ya Bonkoono Agariba, zama d'i n'a gosi ka ban ay ma du haŋ kaŋ ay ga hantum.
27for it seems to me senseless, sending a prisoner, not also to signify the charges against him.
27 Zama ay di kaŋ laakal-jaŋay no i ma kas'ize donton, i ma jaŋ ka kalima ci kaŋ i ga kande bora boŋ.»
