25 No te taenga mai o Petuha ki te kawanatanga, ka toru nga ra, ka haere atu ia i Hiharia ki Hiruharama.
2 Na ka korero te tohunga nui me nga rangatira o nga Hurai ki a ia mo Paora, ka tohe ki a ia,
3 Kia whakaaetia ta ratou mona, kia tikina atu ia ki Hiruharama, he whanga hoki to ratou mona kia whakamatea ki te ara.
4 Otira ka whakahokia e Petuha, kei Hiharia a Paora e pupuri ana, a tera e hohoro tona haere ki reira.
5 I mea ano ia, Me haere tahi ano i ahau ki raro nga mea o koutou e whai mana ana, ki te whakawa i taua tangata, ki te mea he kino tona.
6 A ka noho ia i a ratou mo nga ra e waru, ngahuru ranei, na ka haere ki Hiharia; ao ake te ra ka noho ki te nohoanga whakawa, a ka mea kia arahina mai a Paora.
7 A, no tona taenga atu, e tu ana tera nga Hurai i haere mai i Hiruharama, he maha, he nui nga he i whakapangia e ratou ki a Paora; heoi kihai i u ta ratou.
8 A ka utua e Paora, Kahore rawa oku hara ki te ture a nga Hurai, kahore hoki ki te temepara, kahore ano ki a Hiha.
9 Heoi ka mea a Petuha ki a Paora, i tona hiahia kia paingia e nga Hurai, E pai ana ranei koe kia haere ki Hiruharama, ki reira whakawakia ai mo enei mea ki toku aroaro?
10 Ano ra ko Paora, E tu ana ahau ki te nohoanga whakawa o Hiha, hei reira tonu ahau whakawakia ai: kahore oku he ki nga Hurai, kua tino kitea na hoki e koe.
11 Me he he toku, kua meinga ranei e ahau tetahi mea e tika ai te mate, e kore ahau e kino kia mate: tena ko tenei he teka nga mea e whakapangia nei e ratou ki ahau, e kore e ahei kia tukua ahau e tetahi ki a ratou. He karanga tenei naku ki a Hiha.
12 Na ka korerorero a Petuha ki te runanga, a ka mea, Kua karanga koe ki a Hiha: na me haere koe ki a Hiha.
13 A muri iho i etahi ra, ka tae atu a Kingi Akaripa, raua ko Pereniki ki Hiharia, a ka oha ki a Petuha.
14 A, ka po maha raua e noho ana i reira, ka korerotia e Petuha ki te kingi te take mo Paora, ka mea, Tenei tetahi tangata i waiho iho e Pirika e here ana:
15 A, i ahau i Hiruharama, ka korerotia mai ia ki ahau e nga tohunga nui, e nga kaumatua o nga Hurai, ka tono ratou kia whakawakia ia.
16 Na ko taku whakahokinga atu ki a ratou, Ehara i te ritenga na nga tangata o Roma kia tukua he tangata kia mate i te mea kiano i tutataki noa te tangata e whakawakia ana ki nga kaiwhakapae, i whai wahi ranei ki te whakahoki kupu ki te kupu whakaw a mona.
17 No reira, i to ratou minenga mai ki konei, kihai ahau i whakaora; ao ake te ra ka noho ahau ki te nohoanga whakawa, ka mea kia arahina mai taua tangata.
18 A, i te turanga o nga kaiwhakapae, kihai tetahi he o aku i whakaaro ai i korerotia e ratou mona:
19 Heoi he kupu tautohetohe no ta ratou karakia ta ratou i mea ai ki a ia, ko tetahi Ihu ano i mate, e kiia ana hoki e Paora kei te ora.
20 Heoi pohewa noa iho ahau ki taua tautohe, ka mea hoki me kore ia e pai kia haere ki Hiruharama, ki reira whakawakia ai mo aua mea.
21 No te karangatanga a Paora kia waiho ia kia whakarangona tana e te Emepara, ka whakahaua e ahau kia puritia ia, kia tukua ra ano ia e ahau ki a Hiha.
22 Ka mea a Akaripa ki a Petuha, E hiahia ana ano ahau kia rongo i taua tangata. Ka mea ia, Ko apopo koe rongo ai ki a ia.
23 Heoi, i te aonga ake, ka tae atu a Akaripa raua ko Pereniki, me nga whakapaipai maha, a tomo ana ki te whare whakarongo, ratou ko nga rangatira mano, ko nga tangata nunui o te pa, a ka whakahaua e Petuha, ka mauria mai a Paora.
24 Na ka mea a Petuha, E Kingi Akaripa, e nga tangata katoa hoki e noho nei tatou, ka kite koutou i tenei tangata, i tohe mai ai ki ahau te huihui katoa o nga Hurai i Hiruharama, i konei ano hoki, i karanga ai, ehara rawa i te tika kia waiho ia kia ora ana.
25 Otira i kite ahau, kahore ana mahi e tika ai te mate: a, i te mea nana ano i karanga ki te Emepara, ka mea ahau kia unga atu aia.
26 Kahore ia aku tino mea e tuhituhi atu ai ahau mona ki toku ariki. Koia ahau ka arahi mai nei i a ia ki a koutou, ki a koe rawa ano, e Kingi Akaripa, kia whai mea ai ahau hei tuhituhinga atu, ua mutu te uiui.
27 Ki taku hoki he mea he kia unga atu he herehere, a kia kaua hoki e korerotia te mea i whakawakia ai ia.

Paul’s Trial Before Festus
25 Three days after arriving in the province, Festus(A) went up from Caesarea(B) to Jerusalem, 2 where the chief priests and the Jewish leaders appeared before him and presented the charges against Paul.(C) 3 They requested Festus, as a favor to them, to have Paul transferred to Jerusalem, for they were preparing an ambush to kill him along the way.(D) 4 Festus answered, “Paul is being held(E) at Caesarea,(F) and I myself am going there soon. 5 Let some of your leaders come with me, and if the man has done anything wrong, they can press charges against him there.”
6 After spending eight or ten days with them, Festus went down to Caesarea. The next day he convened the court(G) and ordered that Paul be brought before him.(H) 7 When Paul came in, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him. They brought many serious charges against him,(I) but they could not prove them.(J)
8 Then Paul made his defense: “I have done nothing wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple(K) or against Caesar.”
9 Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor,(L) said to Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me there on these charges?”(M)
10 Paul answered: “I am now standing before Caesar’s court, where I ought to be tried. I have not done any wrong to the Jews,(N) as you yourself know very well. 11 If, however, I am guilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die. But if the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”(O)
12 After Festus had conferred with his council, he declared: “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you will go!”
Festus Consults King Agrippa
13 A few days later King Agrippa and Bernice arrived at Caesarea(P) to pay their respects to Festus. 14 Since they were spending many days there, Festus discussed Paul’s case with the king. He said: “There is a man here whom Felix left as a prisoner.(Q) 15 When I went to Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews brought charges against him(R) and asked that he be condemned.
16 “I told them that it is not the Roman custom to hand over anyone before they have faced their accusers and have had an opportunity to defend themselves against the charges.(S) 17 When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man to be brought in.(T) 18 When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. 19 Instead, they had some points of dispute(U) with him about their own religion(V) and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. 20 I was at a loss how to investigate such matters; so I asked if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem and stand trial there on these charges.(W) 21 But when Paul made his appeal to be held over for the Emperor’s decision, I ordered him held until I could send him to Caesar.”(X)
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “I would like to hear this man myself.”
He replied, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”(Y)
Paul Before Agrippa(Z)
23 The next day Agrippa and Bernice(AA) came with great pomp and entered the audience room with the high-ranking military officers and the prominent men of the city. At the command of Festus, Paul was brought in. 24 Festus said: “King Agrippa, and all who are present with us, you see this man! The whole Jewish community(AB) has petitioned me about him in Jerusalem and here in Caesarea, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.(AC) 25 I found he had done nothing deserving of death,(AD) but because he made his appeal to the Emperor(AE) I decided to send him to Rome. 26 But I have nothing definite to write to His Majesty about him. Therefore I have brought him before all of you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that as a result of this investigation I may have something to write. 27 For I think it is unreasonable to send a prisoner on to Rome without specifying the charges against him.”
