Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμι
before the tribunal ˱of˲_Caesar /having/_stood ˱I˲_am
Paul is referring to Caesar’s authority to judge him by association with the judgment seat where Caesar sat when he judged cases. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am being judged by Caesar”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐπὶ τοῦ βήματος Καίσαρος ἑστώς εἰμι
before the tribunal ˱of˲_Caesar /having/_stood ˱I˲_am
Paul is using Caesar, the leader of the Roman government, to represent that entire government. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I am being judged by the Roman government”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὗ με δεῖ κρίνεσθαι
where me ˱it˲_/is/_fitting /to_be_being/_judged
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “where it is necessary for someone to judge me”; or, if you translated the previous phrase as “I am being judged by the Roman government”: “which is the authority that ought to judge me”
