¹Trin dies nakhle, ai o Festus areslo ande kado them, gelo andai Caesarea ande Jerusalem.

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

²Kotse o baro rashai ai o baro anda le Zhiduvuria phende leske le dosha kai si le po Pavlo. Mangle les katar o Festus.

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

³Te kerel lenge iek mishtimos, te anen le Pavlos ande Jerusalem, ke won dine sas pe duma so te keren le Pavlosa ke mangenas te mudaren les pa drom kana avela.

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

⁴Numa o Festus phendia, "Ke o Pavlo arakhado sas ande Caesarea, ai ke sigo vriama vi wo trobul te zhaltar palpale.

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

⁵Ai mothol le mai bare mashkar tumende te aven mansa, ai te avela ka kado manush si doshalo ande vari soste, mek dosharen les."

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

⁶O Festus beshlo lensa desh dies , porme gelotar palpale ande Caesarea. Pe terharin gelo ando kher kai keren le krisa, ai dia ordina te anen le Pavlos.

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;

⁷Kana avilo, le Zhiduvuria kai avile sas andai Jerusalem kruglom lestar sas, ai mothonas pe leste but ai bare dosha, kai won nashtinas te sikaven ke sas pe leste.

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,

⁸O Pavlo chacharelaspe ai motholas, "Chi kerdem chi iek dosh, chi karing o zakono le Zhidovongo, chi karing e tamplo, ai chi karing o Caesar."

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.`

⁹O Festus kai mangelas te avel drago le Zhidovonge, manglia katar o Pavlo, "Manges te zhas ande Jerusalem, ai te aves kotse, dino ande kris angla mande pa kadala dieli kai dosharen tu?"

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?`

¹⁰Antunchi o Pavlo phendia, "Anglai kris le Caesaroske sim, ai katse trobul te avav lino pe kris. Chi kerdem chi iek baio karing le Zhiduvuria, ai vi tu zhanes mishto.

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;

¹¹Te sim doshalo, ai kerdem iek baio kai trobul te merav, me merava. Numa le dieli kai won dosharen ma nai chache, kanikaske nai slobodo te del ma kal Zhiduvuria, ai te mudaren ma, ke me akharav le Caesaros.

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!`

¹²Porme kana o Festus dia duma le mai barensa kai sas kotse, phendia, "Tu manges te akhares le Caesaros, Apo leste zhasa."

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

¹³Xantsi dies pala kodia o amperato Agrippa ai e Bernice aresle ando Caesarea te dikhen le Festus.

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

¹⁴Ai mangenas te beshen kotse meskolke dies, o Festus andia angla amperato e diela le Pavloski, ai mothol leske, "Si katse iek manush kai o Felix meklia ande temnitsa;

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,

¹⁵Ai pe kado manush, kana simas ande Jerusalem, le bare le rashange ai le mai phure le Zhidovonge vachisaile lestar, ai mangel te dosharen les.

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

¹⁶Ai me dem le atweto, ke nai o zakono le Romanongo te dosharen ieke manushes, mai anglal te dikhel kodolen kai thon dosh pe leste, ai te avel les e vriama te dikhel ai te chacharelpe andal dieli kai won mothon ke doäalolo.

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].

¹⁷Kana avili katse mansa, chi xasardem vriama pe terharin, gelem kotse kai keren le krisa, ai dem ordina te anen kakale manushes.

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,

¹⁸Kodola manush kai dosharenas les avile, numa chi dosharde les anda chi iek diela kai me gindivas.

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

¹⁹Xanaspe lesa anda pengo zakono, ai andak manush kai bushol Jesus, kai mulo; ai kai o Pavlo mothol ke zhuvindisailo.

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;

²⁰Me chi zhanavas sar te dikhav anda kodola dieli, anda kodia phushlem katar o Pavlo te mangelas te zhal ande Jerusalem, ai te avel dino pe kris kotse.

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 —

²¹Numa o Pavlo manglia te avel leski diela dikhli katar o Caesar Augustus, ai me dem ordina te ankeren les ande temnitsa zhi kai tradav les ka Caesar.

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.`

²²O Agrippa phendia le Festusoske, "Manglemas i me te ashunas kodole manushes" O Festus phendia leske, "Terhara ashunesa les,"

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

²³Pe terharin, o Agrippa ai e Bernice avile vuliarde ai penge slugensa, ai dine ande kado kher kai keren le krisa, le barensa kai poronchin pel ketani, ai le mai barensa kai sas ande kodo foro. Ai o Festus dia ordina te anen kotse le Pavlos.

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.

²⁴Porme o Festus phendia, "Tu amperato Agrippa, ai sa tume kai san katse amensa, dikhen kadale manushes, kai sa le Zhiduvuria mangle mandar, vai ande Jerusalem, vai katse, tsipimasa ke kado manush trobulas mudardo

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;

²⁵Me kikhlem ke chi kerdia kasavestar baio te mudaren les, ai wo o Pavlo manglia te dikhel le amperatos Augustus, me manglem te tradav les leste.

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,

²⁶Nai ma chi iek diela vorta te ramov ka Caesar pa e diela le Pavloski, anda kodia manglem te dikhen les, ai mai but tu Amperato Agrippa, saxke kana phushesa les tu, si ma vari so te ramov le amperatosko.

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;

²⁷Ke mange miazol ke nai vorta te trades ieke manushes kai si doshalo bi te sikaves anda soste si doshalo."

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