Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
Bulus yenje vat anan kudare, aworo, “nuana ning, Nbun Kutelle, lissosin ninghe licinari udak kitimone.”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Hananiyas u Priest udya woro nale na iyissin kupo me iriughe nnu.
3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
Bulus woroghe, “Kutelle ba riufi, fe liki longo naliyissin dert ba. Ussosin nene usui ushara nin duka, uminin ta iriyi nanya purun duka?”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Alenge na iwa yissin kupome woro, “Nenere udin zoguzung ndya na Priest Kutelle?”
5 Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
Bulus woro, “Na meng yiruba nuana, au ame udya na Priestari. Bara ina yertin, yenje iwa lira nanzang kitine nadidya nanit.”
6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”
Na Bulu in yene kusari kudare wadi a Sandukiyawa, a kusari kurum a Farisawa, a ghatina liwui kudare kang, “Linuana meng ku Farisawari, usaun na Kufarisawa. Bara na nceo kibinayi nfeu nanan kul unere nta idin wucui nlira.”
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
Na a belle nani, mayrdang fita kitik na Farisawa nin na Sandukiyawa, lisossinghe koso kidowo.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
A Sandukiyawa din du na ufiu nanan kul duku ba, ana anan kadura Kutelle duku ba, na Uruhu ulau duku ba, ama a Yahudawa na woro vat nileli imone duku.
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees’ part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”
Ugbejulu udya fita, among anan niyerte na Farisawa fita fita, idi mayardang nworu, “Na tise imonimon inanzang kitin nit ulele ba. Nene andi Uruhu sa unan Kadura Kutelleri nalirin ninghefa?”
10 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them and bring him into the barracks.
Na mayardanghe ta madyawe, udya nasoje lanza fiu nwo yenje iwa jarza Bulus ku, ata asoje idi nutunghe nin nakara nanya kudaru lissosinghe, ida ninghe ida ceo kupo me.
11 The following night, the Lord stood by him and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”
Nin kitik kimbe, Cikilari yissina likot me aworo, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Nafo na unasui unu unba in Urushalima, nanere wang umatii unu unba in Rumawa.”
12 When it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
Na kitin shanta, among a Yahuda munu ati isu isilin nati mine: iworo na inung ma li imonimon sa isono nmyen ba se imolo Bulus ku.
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Anan nisilinghe wa katin anit akut anas.
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great curse to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
Ido kiti ndy na Priest nin nakune iworo, arik nta atibite nanyan la'ana uzemzem, tisilo nwo na tiba lii sa usonu nimonimon ba se timolo Bulus ku.
15 Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”
Nene na kudare bellin udya nasoje adak nin Bulus kitimine, asa anung nsu usharawe gegeme. Arik ba yissinari tiba molughe ana asa daduru kikane ba.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Ama umong usaun gwanan Bulus kishono lanza nwo iyeshin nca, a nya adi Bellin Bulus ku.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
Bulus yiccilla umong nanya nasoje aworo, “Yira kwanyana kone udomun kitin dya nasoje, adi nin nimon ile na aba belunghe.”
18 So he took him and brought him to the commanding officer and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
Kusoje tunna kuyira kwanyane anin daninghe kitin ndya nasoje aworo, “Bulus kucine yicilai ndo kitime, amini belli nda nin kwanyana kone kitife, adinin nimon ile na aba bellinfi.”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Nasoje kifoghe ncara ado ninghe kusari kurum, anin tiringhe, “Inyanghari udi ninsu ubelli?”
20 He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
Kwanyane woro, “A Yahudawa yinna ima bellinfi udak nin Bulus nin kui kudaru mine, nafo ima tirinu iyinnin inyizari uliru me di.
21 Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”
Na uwa yinnin ninghinu ba, bara anit katin akut anas na iyeshin nca me. Na silo nin nati mine nwo na ima lii imonliba, sa isono nmyenba se imologhe. Nene wang imal ke atimine, idin ca uyinin unakpaghe.”
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Udya nasoje tunna asuna kwanyana anya, awunughe kutu, “Yenje uwa bellin umong ubelli ile imone.”
23 He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night.”
Ayicila among asoja aba aworo, “Sen asoja akalt aba iturun nani udu u'Siseriya, se anan ghanju nibark akut kuzor umunuku, unin kuru use anit akalt aba anan tiyop.”
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Iba fitu nanya nikoro itat nin kitik. ata nani ipizuru kibarak kanga na Bulus ma ghanu ku, inin do ninghe kitin Felix ugumna mang.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Anin su iyerte nafo nenge:
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
“Lisiya udu kitin gumna udya Felix, indin lisufi.
27 “This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
A Yahudawa wa kifo unit ulele inani din cinu umolughe, in mini na lanza ame kunan Rumawari, in mini wadak nin nasoja in bologhe nacara mine.
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
In wa di ninsu inyinin inyaghari nta idin vurzughe uliiru, umini wa do ninghe nanya kudaru mine.
29 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
Inna lanza au idin vurzughe in woru adin nanzu uduka mine, ama na ina seghe nin nimon imon na ibatin imolughe sa itighe licin ba.
30 When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”
inmile na lanza nworu among na kye atimine kitenen nite, in mile tunna toghe kitife, arika na idin vurzughe tutung in belle nani ida kitife nin liru mine. Uso ucine.”
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Asoje su kata nin duka ule na inanani: Iyauna Bulus ku idamun kitin Antipatiris.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Ukurtung kuye, ngbardang nasoje suna anan nibarke nya ninghe, inung tutung kpila kika na inuzu ku.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Na anan nibarake duru u'Siseriya, inakpa iyerte nacaran gumne umunu Bulus ku vat kitime.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Na u'Gumne belle iyerte ine, atirino Bulus nanuzu kusa komeri; na ayinno Bulus nanuzun Sisiliyari,
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
aworo, “In ma lanzu fi vat asa anan vursufe nda kikane.” Anin ta iceghe kudaru Hirudus.
