< Acts 23 >

1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
P'awlos moosheyiruwok kakuweetsuwotsi t'iwintsdek't s'iilt «Ti eshuwotso! hambetsish b́ borfetso jam aawo Ik'i shinatse sheeng beyon tbeetsok'o t nibon danfee» bí et.
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
K'eesi naasho Hananiyimó P'awlos noono botogetuwok'o P'awlos ganoke need'iru ashuwotsi bíazazi.
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?”
Manoor P'awlos Hananiyish, «Nee nooron futets maa dir artsono! nenowere Ik'o togetuwee! nemok'on tjangosh angshosh beedek'atniya nemalon taan botogetuwok'o niazaziri?»
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Manoke teshts ashuwots P'awlossh «Ik'i kahniwots naashoneya nc'shiri?» boeti.
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.’”
P'awloswere «Ti eshuwotso! kahaniwotsatsi naasho b́wottsok'o danatse b́teshi, manwere eegoshe ‹Ni ashaatsi naashatse gondo aap'k'aye› etiruwo guut'ere» bí eti.
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!”
P'awloswere manoke fa'a ashuwotsitse k'atsuwots Seduk'awiya etetsuwotsi k'atsuwotswere feresawi etefuwotsi bo wotok'o dant «Ti eshuwotso! taa feresawi etetswotsatse feresawi taane, hamb! and angsheyiruwo tt'iniye noosh jangit imets k'irotse tuwi jangoshe» ett b́ k'aaro eenshdek't mooshiruwots taalotse b́ keewi.
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
P'awlos han b́ keewutsok'on feresawiyotsnat Seduk'awiya eteefuwots dagotse fayo tuut mooshiruwotsi gitok kay b́k'ri.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Seduk'awiya eteefuwots «K'irotse tuwo aaliye, melakiywotswere aalne shayironwere aaliye» boere feresawiyotsmó «Jamanots fa'ane» ettniye boamanefo.
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!”
Manoor dimbri eeno wotb́wtsi, ferisawi jirwotsitse ik ik nem danifuwots tuwut «Noo ashaanatse eegoru gond keewo daatsratsone, Shayro wee melakiyo bísh keewure b́wotiti, no eegoru danatsone?» ett bomooshi.
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.
Fyonuwere kup'efere bíame ashuwots P'awlosn yec' yec'ay tiish ishitune ett shatt azaziruwo «Od'er P'awlosi ashuwots dagotse kishde'er woowere! kes'fuwots galots dek' boami!» et wotaderwotsi bíazazi.
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.”
Yatsok'ono t'úwun doonzo P'awlos ganok need'dek't «Shenono! Iyerusalemn taash n gawutsok'o, mannk'o Romits taash gawo neen geyituwe» bí eti.
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.
Datso b́ gatstsok'on ayhudiyots kakuweewutsat «P'awlosn noo úd'raniyere mááyo máárátsone, aatsono úyatsone» ett botaareyi.
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Malaanats shiyeets ashuwots taawonwere haboniyere bogfno boteshi.
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.
Bowere kahni naashuwotsnat eenashuwotsok amt hank'o ett boosh bokeewi «P'awlosi nó úd'raniyere maayo nonots nogerawok'o kup'shdek'at taareerone,
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.”
Mansh it mooshiruwotsnton shiyede'er kúp'de'er bín it aatit keewok'o aride'er P'awlosi itsh bodewetuwok'o azaziruwo aatuwere, noowere hanok b́ boraftsere shinon úd'osh k'andek'rone.»
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Ernmó P'awlos mish naay mal man b́shishtsotse kes' kes'fuwots galots amkindt P'awlossh b́keewi.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
P'awloswere bali naashuwotsitse iko s'eegdek't «Na'an kes' azaziruwosh b́keewit keewo b́detstsotse bíyokde'er t'ine» bí eti.
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.”
Bali naashonuwere na'aman azaziruwok dek' kindt «Tipetso P'awlos taan s'eegt na'an neesh b́keewit keewo b́detstsotse niyok t t'intsituwok'o taan b́k'oni» bí eti.
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Azaziruwonuwere na'o kisho detsdek't okaan dek'amt, «Taash nkeewituwo eebi?» ett bíaali bíaati.
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.
Na'onuwere hank'o bíeti, «Ayhudiwots P'awlos keewo katsidek' k'ebiruwok'o araat yaats mooshiruwots shinaanats boosh nt'intsitwok'o neen aatosh ik wotwutserne.
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.”
Ernmó boosh eekfne, bín noúd'raawo mááyo máratsone, aatsonowere úyatsone ett taarts haboniyere bogts ashuwots bín úd'osh aashdek'rne, and bo bokotir boosh nkeewituwo s'uziye.»
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Azaziruwonuwere «Keewan taash n keewutsok'o konshor daniyik'aye» ett na'o deen b́k'ri.
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.”
Maniyere hakon kes' azazefman bali naashwotsitse gituwotsi s'eegdek't «Ilitsi keez sa'ato b́wottsok'on K'isari maants git bal kes'fuwotsnat shab farshetsuwotsi, git bal gin shap'fuwotsnowere k'aniwere,
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
P'awlosshowere farsho it k'anire dats keewiruwok Filksok jeenon b́bodetuwok'o woshwore» bí eti.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Hank'o etiru woshonowere work'atats guut' b́k'ri,
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
«K'elawudiyos Lusyosoke, mangts dats k'eezfo Flkissh! jeeno neesh wotowe!
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.
Ashaan ayhudiwots detsdek't úd'oshe boteshi, taamo Rom dats ash b́woto tdantsosh kes' kes'fuwotsnton bodat bín t wooriyi.
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Eegatse tuutson bos'aamitsok'o danosh geeyat mooshiruwotsok t'intsree b́teshi.
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.
Bos'amiwere bo nematse tuuts keewon b́wottsok'o tdaatsi, ernmó k'irosh wee tiposh bín betsit keewo aaliye.
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.”
Ashaan údosh maletsok'o tshishtsok'on manoor níyok twoshi, s'amiruwotsuwere bíyatse bodetsts s'aamiyo nshinatse bot'intsituwok'o boosh keewure.»
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Mansh kes'kes'iruwots boon azazetsok'o Pawlosi t'úwon dek'amt Antip'at'risok bobetsi.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Yatsok'on Farshetsuwots P'awlosn ton boametuwok'o wosht boowere k'es' kes'fuwots gálo maants k'azboaani.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Farshetsuwotsuwere K'isariyo bo bodtsok'on worek'atats guut'ets woshman dats k'eziruwosh imt P'awlosi b́shinats bot'intsi.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Dats k'ezirowonu worek'atats gút'ets woshman b́nababi hakon P'awlossh Aawoki dats ashnene? ett bíaati, Kilik'iy dats ash b́ woto b́ dantsok'on
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
«Neen s'amiruwots boowor njango shishetuwe» bí eti. Herodis mengst moots b́ koteetuwok'owere bíazazi.
