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

Festus then, having arrived in the province, three days later went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

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

And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,

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

requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem ( at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).

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

Festus then answered that Paul was being kept in custody at Caesarea and that he himself was about to leave shortly.

5 O o 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.

“Therefore,” he said, “let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him.”

6 O o 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.

After he had spent not more than eight or ten days among them, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he took his seat on the tribunal and ordered Paul to be brought.

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

After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove,

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

while Paul said in his own defense, “ I have committed no offense either against the Law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

9 L aakiin 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?

But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, “ Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges ?”

10 L aakiin 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.

But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s tribunal, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also very well know.

11 H addaba 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.

If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar.”

12 M arkaasaa Feestos, markuu shirka la tashaday, ayuu wuxuu ku jawaabay, Kaysar baad u ashtakootay; Kaysar baad u tegaysaa. Agribba Iyo Bernikee

Then when Festus had conferred with his council, he answered, “You have appealed to Caesar, to Caesar you shall go.”

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

Now when several days had elapsed, King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea and paid their respects to Festus.

14 O o 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;

While they were spending many days there, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a man who was left as a prisoner by Felix;

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

and when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him, asking for a sentence of condemnation against him.

16 I yagii 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.

I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

17 H addaba 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.

So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought before me.

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

When the accusers stood up, they began bringing charges against him not of such crimes as I was expecting,

19 l aakiin 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.

but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

20 H addaba 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.

Being at a loss how to investigate such matters, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there stand trial on these matters.

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

But when Paul appealed to be held in custody for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him to be kept in custody until I send him to Caesar.”

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

Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.” Paul before Agrippa

23 S idaas 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.

So, on the next day when Agrippa came together with Bernice amid great pomp, and entered the auditorium accompanied by the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

24 M arkaasaa 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.

Festus said, “King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer.

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

But I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death; and since he himself appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.

26 H addaba 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.

Yet I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

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

For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him.”
