Chapter 25

 ¶ Lako' tolu eo-i Festus moparenta hi propinsi toe, me'ongko' -imi ngkai ngata Kaisarea hilou hi Yerusalem. 

 Karata-na hi ria, imam pangkeni pai' pangkeni to Yahudi ntani' -na mpohirua' -ki, pai' ra'uli' -ki pangadua' -ra to rapangadu' -ki Paulus. 

 Merapi' -ra hi Festus bona hante kalompe' nono-na nahubui tauna mpokeni Paulus tumai hi Yerusalem. Ntaa' we'i, patuju-ra doko' mpolede Paulus pai' mpopatehi-i hi lengko ohea. 

 Aga natompoi' Festus: "Ane Paulus, ratarungku' hi Kaisarea-i-hana. Pai' aku' uma-apa mahae hilou nculii' hi ria. 

 Agina hema-koi topololita hilou dohe-ku hi Kaisarea, bona hi ria-damo mpai' kupe'epei pangadua' -ni, ane ria mpu'u-ki kasalaa' -na." 

 Kira-kira nte walu mengi ba hampulu' bengi-i Festus hi Yerusalem, nculii' -imi hilou hi Kaisarea. Rata mpu'u-ramo hi Kaisarea, kamepulo-na narumpu-ramo omea topohura, pai' napahawa' tauna mpokeni Paulus tumai hi porumpua-ra. 

 Karata-na Paulus, to Yahudi to tumai ngkai Yerusalem mokore mpotipuhi-i, pai' ra'uli' pangadua' -ra. Wori' nyala kasalaa' to dada'a to rapangadu' -ki, tapi' uma ria kanoo-noaa' -na pangadua' -ra toe. 

 Paulus mpobaro lolita-ra, na'uli': "Uma-kuna ria hangkedia' sala' to kubabehi! Uma-a ria ntiboki atura to Yahudi, ba mpobaboi' Tomi Alata'ala, ba ncapuaka magau' hi Roma!" 

 Apa' Festus doko' ngala' nono to Yahudi, toe pai' na'uli' mpo'uli' -ki Paulus: "Dota-ko hilou hi Yerusalem, bona hi ria-damo mpai' kupohurai kara-kara-nu?" 

 Na'uli' Paulus: "Tuama Gubernur! Toi-e, bula-ku mokore hi rehe'i hi kantoro' Gubernur, apa' Gubernur to jadi' wakele' Kaisar, magau' -ta hi Roma. Pai' bate topoparenta to Roma to natao mpobotuhi kara-kara-ku. Nu'inca moto ka'uma-na ria sala' -ku hi to Yahudi. 

 Ane rapa' -na ria lau-ama mpotiboki atura mpobabehi to kasipato' -na rapatehi-ka, uma kuhuna rapatehi. Aga ane uma makono pangadua' -ra to Yahudi, uma ria haduaa to ma'ala mpotonu-a hi rala pale-ra. Mpopebua' -a kara-kara-ku hi Kaisar!" 

 Mpo'epe toe, Festus mololita hante hingka topohura-na. Oti toe, na'uli' mpo'uli' -ki Paulus: "Bo merapi' -ko mpobua' kara-kara-nu hi pobotuhia Kaisar, wae-pi bate hilou moto-ko hi ngata Roma mpohirua' -ki Kaisar." 

 ¶ Uma mahae ngkai ree, Magau' Agripa hante Bernike, hilou hi ngata Kaisarea mpotabe Festus ngkai kara'ongko' -na jadi' gubernur. 

 Ba hangkuja mengi-ramo hi Kaisarea, Festus mpololita kara-kara Paulus hi Magau' Agripa, na'uli': "Ria hi rehe'i hadua tauna to ratarungku' nto'u poparenta-na Feliks. 

 Nto'u-ku ria hi Yerusalem wengi, imam pangkeni pai' totu'a to Yahudi ntani' -na mpo'uli' pangadua' -ra to rapangadu' -ki, pai' raperapi' bona kuhuku' -i. 

 Kutompoi' -ra: ntuku' atura to Roma, tauna to rapakilu uma ma'ala hangaa ratonu hi bali' -na ane ko'ia-i rapopohirua' hante bali' -na, pai' ko'ia-i rapalogai mpo'uli' noa' -na. 

 Ngkai ree, ba hangkuja dua pangkeni to Yahudi tumai dohe-ku ngkai Yerusalem. Karata-kai hi rehe'i, uma leba' kupopea mahae. Kamepulo-na, ncaliu kupahawa' tauna mpokeni Paulus tumai, pai' kupohurai kara-kara-na. 

 Hawe'ea topepakilu toera mpo'uli' pangadua' -ra. Ku'uli' -kuna, ba ria gau' -na to dada'a lia to rapakilu-ki. Ntaa' to rapakilu-ki toe, bela-hawo gau' to dada'a. 

 To kurua' -na, muntu' posisalaa-ra hi agama-ra moto-rawo. Momehono' wo'o-ra mpomehonoi' hadua tauna to rahanga' Yesus. Yesus toei, mate-imi, tapi' Paulus mpo'uli' tuwu' nculii' -i. 

 Jadi', ingu' -a-kuwo mpobotuhi kara-kara toe. Toe pai' kupekune' -i Paulus, ku'uli' -ki: `Dota-ko hilou hi Yerusalem, bona hi ria-damo mpai' rapohurai kara-kara-nu?' 

 Tapi' naperapi' bona kara-kara-na rabua' hi Kaisar. Pai' naperapi' wo'o bona rajaga-i duu' kara-kara-na rabua' hi Kaisar. Toe-die pai' kupelele' moto-i ratarungku' duu' -na ria loga-ku mpopakatu-i hilou hi Kaisar." 

 Ngkai ree, na'uli' Magau' Agripa mpo'uli' -ki Festus: "Bo doko' wo'o-a-kuwo mpo'epe lolita-na." Na'uli' Festus: "Mepulo-damo mpai' ta'epe-i." 

 Kamepulo-na, tumai mpu'u-ramo Agripa pai' Bernike, pai' -ra rapotomu hante wori' nyala pebila'. Mesua' -ramo hi rala tomi poromua hante tadulako tantara pai' totu'a ngata. Festus mpopahawa' bona Paulus rakeni hi poromua-ra. 

 Ngkai ree, natepu'u-mi Festus mololita, na'uli': "Magau' Agripa pai' tuama-tuama omea to morumpu hi rehe'i! Tau tohe'ii rapangadu' hawe'ea to Yahudi, lompe' hi Yerusalem lompe' hi rehe'i. Rajojo merapi' hi aku' bona rapasangkani lau-imi. 

 Hiaa' aku', uma-kuwo ria kuruai' ba sala' napa to nababehi to natao rahuku' mate-ki. Hiaa' oti toe wo'o, merapi' -i bona kara-kara-na rabua' hi Kaisar. Toe wo'o-mi-kuwo pai' kupomonoa' -mi mpopakatu-i hilou hi Kaisar. 

 Aga ko'ia-kuwo ria kanoaa' -na to natao ku'uki' hi rala sura-ku to hilou hi Kaisar. Jadi', toe pai' hewa toe lau, kukeni-i tumai hi rehe'i, hangkedia' -nami hi Magau' Agripa to kubila'. Patuju-ku, ane hudu-pi pomparesa' -ta tohe'i, ria-mi to ma'ala ku'uki'. 

 Apa' ku'uli', uma-hawo ohea-na mpopakatu tauna hilou hi pobotuhia Kaisar ane uma rapakanoto sala' to rapakilu-ki."
