1. 1HATLè Festis rive nan pwovens lan, sou twa jou li kite Sezare, li ale lavil Jerizalèm.BSBBSB: Three days after his arrival in the province, Festus went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem,
2. 2HATChèf prèt yo ansanm ak jwif ki te grannèg nan lavil la vin pote plent ba li pou Pòl.BSBBSB: where the chief priests and Jewish leaders presented their case against Paul. They urged Festus
3. 3HATYo mande Festis yon favè. Yo mande l' pou l' fè mennen Pòl Jerizalèm. Yo te gen tan fè konplo pou touye l' sou wout la.BSBBSB: to grant them a concession against Paul by summoning him to Jerusalem, because they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.
4. 4HATMen, Festis reponn yo: Pòl deja nan prizon Sezare. Mwen menm poutèt pa m', mwen pral tounen Sezare talè konsa.BSBBSB: But Festus replied, “Paul is being held in Caesarea, and I myself am going there soon.
5. 5HATSi Pòl fè kichòy ki mal, se pou chèf nou yo desann ansanm avè m', y'a akize l' laba a.BSBBSB: So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”
6. 6HATFestis pase wit a dis jou sèlman avèk yo Jerizalèm. Apre sa li tounen Sezare. Nan denmen, li al chita nan tribinal la, li bay lòd pou yo mennen Pòl.BSBBSB: After spending no more than eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he sat on the judgment seat and ordered that Paul be brought in.
7. 7HATLè Pòl rive, jwif ki te soti Jerizalèm yo vin kanpe bò kote l', yo pote anpil gwo akizasyon kont li, men yo pa t' kapab bay okenn prèv.BSBBSB: When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
8. 8HATMen sa Pòl di pou defann tèt li: Mwen pa fè anyen ki kont lalwa jwif yo, ni kont tanp lan, ni kont Seza.BSBBSB: Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”
9. 9HATFestis menm ki te vle fè jwif yo plezi mande Pòl: Eske ou pa ta vle al Jerizalèm pou yo ka jije ou devan m' sou zafè sa a?BSBBSB: But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem to stand trial before me on these charges?”
10. 10HATPòl reponn li: Se devan tribinal Seza mwen ye, se la pou yo jije mwen. Mwen pa fè jwif yo anyen. Ou konnen sa byen pwòp.BSBBSB: Paul replied, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where I ought to be tried. I have done nothing wrong to the Jews, as you yourself know very well.
11. 11HATSi m' desobeyi lalwa, si m' fè yon bagay ki merite lanmò, mwen p'ap refize mouri. Men tou, si akizasyon y'ap pote sou mwen yo pa vre, pesonn pa ka lage m' nan men yo. Mwen mande pou Seza tande kòz mwen.BSBBSB: If, however, I am guilty of anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is no truth to their accusations against me, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
12. 12HATLè sa a, Festis fè yon ti pale ak manm konsèy li yo, epi l' di: Bon. Ou mande pou Seza tande kòz ou, ou pral devan Seza.BSBBSB: Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
13. 13HATKèk jou apre sa, wa Agripa ak Berenis rive Sezare. Yo te vin di Festis bonjou.BSBBSB: After several days had passed, King Agrippa and Bernice came down to Caesarea to pay their respects to Festus.
14. 14HATYo t'ap pase kèk jou la. Festis pwofite esplike sitiyasyon Pòl la bay wa a, li di li: Feliks te kite yon nonm nan prizon isit la.BSBBSB: Since they were staying several days, Festus laid out Paul’s case before the king: “There is a certain man whom Felix left in prison.
15. 15HATLè m' te al Jerizalèm chèf prèt yo ansanm ak chèf fanmi jwif yo te vin pote m' plent pou li, yo mande m' pou m' kondannen li.BSBBSB: While I was in Jerusalem, the chief priests and elders of the Jews presented their case and requested a judgment against him.
16. 16HATMwen reponn yo: Se pa koutim moun lavil Wòm yo pou yo renmèt yon akize bay lènmi l' konsa san yo pa mete l' fasafas ak moun k'ap akize l' yo anvan. Se pou l' gen chans defann tèt li tou anba akizasyon yo.BSBBSB: I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand a man over before he has had an opportunity to face his accusers and defend himself against their charges.
17. 17HATSe konsa yo vin isit la avèk mwen. Mwen pa t' pèdi tan mwen. Nan denmen m' al chita nan tribinal la, mwen bay lòd pou yo mennen nonm lan.BSBBSB: So when they came here with me, I did not delay. The next day I sat on the judgment seat and ordered that the man be brought in.
18. 18HATMoun ki t'ap akize l' yo vin parèt tou, men yo pa t' bay okenn move zak li te fè, jan m' te kwè a.BSBBSB: But when his accusers rose to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected.
19. 19HATSe yon diskisyon sèlman yo te gen avè l' sou relijyon yo a ak sou yon nonm yo rele Jezi ki mouri. Men, Pòl sètifye nonm sa a leve, li vivan ankò.BSBBSB: They only had some contentions with him regarding their own religion and a certain Jesus who had died, but whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
20. 20HATMwen pa t' konn sa pou m' te fè ankò pou m' te pran enfòmasyon sou keksyon sa yo. Mwen mande Pòl si l' pa ta vle al Jerizalèm pou yo te ka jije l' sou zafè sa a la.BSBBSB: Since I was at a loss as to how to investigate these matters, I asked if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and be tried there on these charges.
21. 21HATMen, Pòl mande pou Seza tande kòz li. Li mande pou yo kenbe l' nan prizon jouk Seza va pran yon desizyon sou ka li. Se konsa mwen bay lòd pou yo pa lage l' jouk m'a ka voye l' bay Seza.BSBBSB: But when Paul appealed to be held over for the decision of the Emperor, I ordered that he be held until I could send him to Caesar.”
22. 22HATAgripa di Festis konsa: Mwen ta renmen tande nonm sa a. Festis reponn li: Denmen wa tande li.BSBBSB: Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.” “Tomorrow you will hear him,” Festus declared.
23. 23HATSe konsa, nan denmen Agripa ak Berenis vin nan mitan yon gwo kòtèj. Yo antre nan sal odyans lan avèk tout chèf militè yo ansanm ak notab lavil la. Festis bay yon lòd, epi yo mennen Pòl vini.BSBBSB: The next day Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the auditorium, along with the commanders and leading men of the city. And Festus ordered that Paul be brought in.
24. 24HATApre sa, Festis di: Wa Agripa, nou tout ki isit la avèk nou, men li! Nou wè nonm sa a. Tout jwif yo vin pote m' plent pou li, ni laba Jerizalèm ni isit la. Y'ap plede rele nonm sa a te fèt pou l' mouri deja.BSBBSB: Then Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man. The whole Jewish community has petitioned me about him, both here and in Jerusalem, crying out that he ought not to live any longer.
25. 25HATMwen menm, pou tèt pa m', mwen wè li pa fè anyen ki merite lanmò. Men, li menm li mande pou Seza tande kòz li. Se poutèt sa, mwen pran desizyon voye l' bay Seza.BSBBSB: But I found he had done nothing worthy of death, and since he has now appealed to the Emperor, I decided to send him.
26. 26HATMwen pa gen anyen ki sèten pou m' ekri sou li. Se poutèt sa mwen fè l' konparèt devan nou, devan ou menm sitou, wa Agripa. Konsa m'a jwenn sa pou m' ekri lè n'a fin poze l' keksyon.BSBBSB: I have nothing definite to write to our sovereign about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after this inquiry I may have something to write.
27. 27HATPou mwen menm, sa pa gen sans pou espedye yon prizonye konsa san ou pa di egzakteman kisa li fè.BSBBSB: For it seems unreasonable to me to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him.”
