Acts 25
1 Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Festus siangpahrang teh, hote ram dawk a pha teh hnin thum touh ao hnukkhu Kaisarea khopui hoi Jerusalem kho lah a luen takhang.
2 Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,
Hahoi vaihma kacue hoi Judahnaw thung dawk e a lungkahanaw ni Pawl teh a toe awh.
3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.
Ahnimouh ni kaimouh na pahrennae lah, Pawl hah Jerusalem lah na thak pouh loe telah a kâhei awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Pawl hah lam vah pawp vaiteh thei awh han telah sut a kâcai awh dawk doeh.
4 However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.
Hatnavah Festus siangpahrang ni Pawl hateh, Kaisarea khovah thongim thung ao. Hote kho dawk nâsittouh o hoehnahlan, kama roeroe ka cei han.
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.”
Hatdawkvah nangmouh thung dawk, kâtawnnae ka tawn e taminaw hah kai koe kâbang awh nateh, ahni yon pen hane awm pawiteh pen awh atipouh.
6 When 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.
Hahoi hnin taroe, hnin hra touh ao hnukkhu vah Kaisarea kho a cei teh, lawkcengnae tungkhung dawk a tahung teh Pawl hah kaw hanelah kâ a poe.
7 When 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,
Pawl a tho torei teh Jerusalem lahoi ka tho e Judahnaw ni Pawl hah khik a ven awh. Yon a pen awh e pueng a tang e buet touh hai awmhoeh.
8 while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”
Pawl ni vah Judah phung thoseh, bawkim thoseh, Sizar siangpahrang thoseh, ka payon hoeh telah a pathung.
9 But 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?”
Festus siangpahrang ni Judahnaw hah tang sak a ngai dawkvah Pawl hanelah, nang heh Jerusalem cei vaiteh kaie hmalah hete lai heh akungkhei hane na ngai maw telah a pacei.
10 But 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.
Hatei Pawl ni kai heh Sizar siangpahrang e lawkcengnae tungkhung hmalah ka kangdue dawkvah, hote hmuen koe kai heh akung na khei pawiteh a kamcu doeh. Nang ni kacailah na panue e patetlah Judahnaw koe yonnae khoeroe ka sak hoeh.
11 For 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!”
Koe ka payon boilah duekhai kawi yonnae buetbuet touh koe ka sak pawiteh, due hane kangek hoeh. Hateiteh ahnimouh ni yonpen awh e naw heh buet touh hai tueng hoehpawiteh apinihai ahnimae kut dawk na phat sak mahoeh. Sizar siangpahrang koe doeh nganga ka cei han atipouh.
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”
Hattoteh Festus siangpahrang teh thaw rei ka tawk huinaw hoi a kâpan awh teh, nang teh Sizar siangpahrang koe nganga ka cei han na ti dawkvah Siangpahrang Sizar koe na cei han atipouh awh.
13 Now when some days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and greeted Festus.
Hathnukkhu hnin youn touh ao hoiyah Agrippa siangpahrang hoi a yu Bernike teh, Festus hoi kâhmo hanelah, Kaisarea kho a tho roi.
14 As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;
Hnin hni, hnin thum ao roi hoiyah, Festus ni Pawl e lai hah siangpahrang koe hettelah be a dei pouh. Hivah Felik ni thongim a pabo e tami buet touh ao.
15 about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.
Jerusalem ka pha navah, vaihma bawinaw hoi Judah kacuenaw ni ahni hah a toe awh teh rek hanelah a kâhei awh.
16 I 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.
Hatei, yon pen lah kaawm e tami buet touh heh, yon kapenkung hoi minhmai kâhmo teh yon kâpen e hoi kâkuen lah, bout pathungnae ao hoehnahlan ahni hah alouklah thak pawiteh Romnaw e phung nahoeh telah Judahnaw koe ka dei pouh.
17 When 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.
Hatdawkvah, ahnimouh teh hete khopui dawk a pha awh toteh, pouk laipalah atangtho vah lawkcengnae tungkhung dawk ka tahung teh, ahni hah kaw hanlah kâ ka poe.
18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;
Pawl yon ka pen e naw a kangdue awh toteh, ka pouk e patetlah kathoute yonnae hah pen awh hoeh.
19 but had certain questions against him about their own religion and about one Jesus, who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
Ahnimae kamcan teh amamae phung lawk hoi ka kâkuen e hoi, yo kadout tangcoung e Jisuh teh bout a hring telah Pawl ni a dei e patetnaw hah doeh.
20 Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.
Kai teh het patetlah e kâounkhai e naw heh ka pouk panuek lounglang hoeh dawkvah, Pawl hah Jerusalem vah cei vaiteh hawvah, hete lai heh akungkhei hanelah na ngai ou telah ka pacei.
21 But 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.”
Hatei Pawl ni siangpahrang ni lawkceng e totouh na hrueng awh ei telah a kâhei dawkvah, Sizar Siangpahrang koe thak hoehroukrak paung hanelah kâ ka poe toe telah a dei.
22 Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”
Agrippa bawi ni Festus bawi hanlah kama roeroe ni a lawk thai han ka ngai atipouh teh Festus ni tangtho to thai lawih atipouh.
23 So 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.
A tangtho vah Agrippa siangpahrang hoi a yu Bernike teh puenghoi a kamthoup teh, ransa bawinaw, hote khothung e alawkpui lah kaawm e taminaw hoi rei a tho awh teh, impui thung a kâen awh. Hatnavah Festus siangpahrang ni kâ a poe teh Pawl hah a hrawi pouh awh.
24 Festus 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.
Festus siangpahrang ni, Agrippa siangpahrang hoi hie kaawm tongpanaw, nangmouh ni na hmu awh e hete tami hoi kâkuen lah, Judahnaw pueng niyah, hete tami heh hring sak kawi nahoeh telah a hramki awh teh, Jerusalem kho thung hai thoseh, hi khothung hai thoseh, kai koe a kâhei awh.
25 But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,
Hateiteh, ahni ni duekhai kawi bang buet touh boehai sak hoeh tie hah ka panue. Hatei, ama ni Sizar bawi koe nganga ka cei han ati dawkvah, hawvah thak hanelah ka kâcai toe.
26 of 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.
Ahnie a kong teh thut vaiteh siangpahrang nang koe poe hanelah kamceng e a kong buet touh boehai yah kai dawkvah awmhoeh. Hatdawkvah yon pennae buetbuet touh ka thut hane ao nahanelah, nang ni ahni hah akungkhei thai nahan nang na hmalah ka tâcokhai.
27 For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, thongkabawt e tami buet touh heh a yonnae panuek laipalah patoun pawiteh kamcu mahoeh atipouh.
