5 PBCSN "Nebei aerene mai yun-jun yo mbemba rare hakonsoko ema. Na hele na me hila u hila mokowolena, Kaisarea yone ranaisinde kolomande.” BSB BSB: So if this man has done anything wrong, let some of your leaders come down with me and accuse him there.”

Nebeibe hi yae ha yae nenaei ijoko yae erekeunge, nenaei angkaei yae boroubokere eleikoi mo. BSB BSB: When Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many serious charges that they could not prove.
8 PBCSN Paulus naei u aere olewole weumi, “Musale walora wali heere foloukoke a reyae mbai sambai asasi okoikoi, Allahre ei mom-mom imae na kaban sele kiyaere, nane merau Roma naei Kaisarre.” BSB BSB: Then Paul made his defense: “I have committed no offense against the law of the Jews or against the temple or against Caesar.”

BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Nebei wali heere foloukoke honate a reyae asasi koukokalena, hoiboi yae nendon honsebombe, reyae kena. Naeinya ahunaise a hele banna, hi yae ha yae Yahudi naei me eise rare ekinyeiboi sului. Reyae riyawale Kaisarle bene kolomangkondere.” BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Nare a usaeise wainye yo bele eleukoke a hubainyekoke mo, Festus yae Paulusre weunge, “Foi, weyae Kaisarle bene a kolonnekombere riyeyaena, Kaisarle bokore yaungayeufonde embe.” BSB BSB: Then Festus conferred with his council and replied, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”

16 PBCSN “Reyae nare ukamaele Roma naei manne honolene, ro mbai waeisiyainye nare ahunainye yo bene naei u aere oleikoyolera wa, nebeisa a hokoikoyate. BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Nebei aerene neyae mekate hee reyae benen hekire oyoboi, nebeibe ya heuboke na hibi reyae are kolonainyele riya huba raweubokale. Ukamaele nebei ro yawainyehoke meke.

BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Nebei a kolowainyere reyae isaeisebondere na hului ban sele, onei-onei onewale. Paulusre hinewanale neyae be hinembonde nda a Yerusalem yone emangkolongkondere.

21 PBCSN Nebeibe Paulus naei kena kowole nda a kolainye Kaisarle bene, Kaisar nenaeijae hokongkonde. Nebei meraunge reyae ukamaele benen kawa einye hebende mende reyae ya mon roufele wa, Kaisarle bokore ufemile yaungainyehonde enate.” BSB BSB: 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.”

24 PBCSN Nebeisa mo Festus aunguke nebei yo arilewolere weumi, “Ondofolo Agripa, nane merau aei mewaube yo nemene, nda ro naei aerene Yahudi yoni-yoni yae mekate raisikate. Yerusalemna Yahudi nekate ro miyae bele ndana nekate Yahudi yo bele rare kali yae kaenewaise nebei ro honaibondere. BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Hoiboi yae honaibonde naeise reyae ereungekokale, nebeibe nda ro erabuhi beko omokoiboi. Naei kena kole Kaisarle bene kolonainyekonderene, reyae be hineubokale.

Raei u benera elale nda wanenda kolomangkonde, reyae nebei randa homore molorekonde Kaisarlere ende. BSB BSB: 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 PBCSN Raei u benera nekaise elale niyae ban sele, ro mbai na aere eyakaiboi yae, nendon Kaisarle bere eyawei eijae.” BSB BSB: For it seems unreasonable to me to send on a prisoner without specifying the charges against him.”
