< Acts 23 >

1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
Kimmita a diretso ni Pablo kadagiti kameng ti konseho ket kinunana, “Kakabsat, nagbiagak iti sangoanan ti Dios iti amin a nasayaat a konsensiak agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw.”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Minandaran ti kangatoan a padi a ni Ananias dagiti nakatakder iti abay ni Pablo a tibabenda ti ngiwatna.
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?”
Ket kinuna ni Pablo kenkuana, “Dusaennaka ti Dios, sika a pader a napintaan iti puraw. Agtugtugawka kadi a mangukom kaniak babaen iti linteg, ngem ibilin mo met a makabilak a maisuppiat iti linteg?”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Kinuna dagiti nakatakder, “Kastoy kadi ti panangpabain mo iti kangatoan a Padi ti Dios?”
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.’”
Kinuna ni Pablo, “Diak ammo kakabsat, nga isuna ket nangato a padi. Ta naisurat, Saanka nga agsao iti dakes iti mangiturturay kadagiti tattaom.”
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!”
Idi nakita ni Pablo a iti maysa a paset ti Konseho ket Saduceo ken dadduma ket Pariseo, nagsao isuna iti napigsa kadagiti mammagbaga, “Kakabsat, siak ket Pariseo, anakdak ti Pariseo. Mauk-ukomak ditoy gapu ta sitatalekak a mangnamnama nga adda iti panagungar dagiti natay.
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
Idi naibagana daytoy, rimsua ti panagsusuppiat iti nagbabaetan dagiti Pariseo ken Saduceo ket nabingay ti taripnong.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Ta ibagbaga dagiti Saduceo nga awan panagungar, awan dagiti anghel ken dagiti espiritu, ngem kuna dagiti Pariseo nga amin dagitoy ket adda.
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!”
Napasamak ngarud ti dakkel a riri, ken dadduma kadagiti eskriba a pakairamanan dagiti Pariseo ket timmakder ken simmuppiatda, a kunada, “Awan masarakanmi a biddut iti daytoy a tao. No ngay adda espiritu wenno anghel a nagsao kenkuana?”
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.
Ket idi adda rimsua a dakkel a panagririri, nagbuteng ti panguloen a kapitan nga amangan no rangrangkayenda ni Pablo, isu a minandaranna dagiti soldado a bumabada ket pilitenda nga alaen isuna manipud kadagiti kameng iti mammagbaga, ken ipanda isuna idiay kuartel.
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.”
Iti karabianna, nagtakder ti Apo iti abayna ket kinunana, “Saanka nga agbuteng, kas iti panangpaneknekmo maipapan kaniak ditoy Jerusalem, kasta met a masapul a paneknekam idiay Roma.”
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.
Ket idi immaldawen, adda dagiti Judio a nangaramid iti tulag ken nangayab iti lunod kadagiti bagbagida: ket kinunada a saandanto a mangan wenno uminom iti aniaman agingga a mapatayda ni Pablo.
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Adda ti nasurok nga uppat a pulo a lallaki a nangaramid iti daytoy a nalimed a panggep.
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.
Napanda kadagiti panguloen a padi ken kadagiti panglakayen ket kinunada, “Inkabilmi dagiti bagbagimi iti sirok ti dakkel a lunod, nga awan iti mangan aginggana a mapataymi ni Pablo.
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.”
Ita ngarud, palubosanyo ti konseho nga ibagada iti panguloen a kapitan a paulogenda a maiyeg kadakayo, a kasla kayatyo a palutputen a naimbag iti kasona. Dakami met, nakasaganakami a mangpatay kenkuana sakbay nga umay ditoy.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Ngem nangngegan ti anak a lalaki ti kabsat a babai ni Pablo a kumlebda nga aguray, isu a napan ken simrek iti kuartel ket imbagana kenni Pablo.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
Inayaban ni Pablo ti maysa kadagiti senturion ket imbagana, “Ipanyo daytoy nga agtutubo a lalaki iti panguloen a kapitan, ta adda banag nga ibagana kenkuana.
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.”
Inkuyog ngarud ti senturion ti agtutubo a lalaki ket impanna isuna iti panguloen a kapitan ket kinunana, “Inayabannak ni Pablo a balud ken dinawatna nga iyegko daytoy nga agtutubo a lalaki kenka. Adda banag nga ibagana kenka.”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Iniggaman ti panguloen a kapitan ti ima ti agtutubo ket napanda iti pribado a lugar ket nagsaludsod kenkuana, “Ania kadi dayta a masapul nga ibagam kaniak?”
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.
Kinuna ti agtutubo a tao, “Nagtutulagan dagiti Judio a kiddawenda kenka a paulogem ni Pablo no bigat iti konseho, a kasla agsaludsodda pay iti naing-inget maipapan iti kasona.
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.”
Ngem saanmo nga itulok ti kayatda, gapu ta adda nasurok uppat a pulo a lallaki a kumkumleb a mangur- uray kenkuana. Nagsapatada a saandanto a mangan wenno uminom agingga a mapatayda isuna. Uray ita nakasaganadan, ur-urayenda iti pammalubos nga aggapu kenka.
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Pinalubusan ngarud ti panguloen a kapitan a mapanen ti agtutubo a lalaki, kalpasan iti panangisurona kenkuana, “Awan iti pangibagaam a naibagam dagitoy a banbanag kaniak.”
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.”
Ket nangayab iti dua kadagiti senturion ken imbagana, “Mangala kayo ti dua gasut a soldado a nakasagana a mapan agingga idiay Cesarea, ken pito pulo a kumakabayo a lallaki, ken dua gasut a pumipika a lallaki. Pumanawkayo iti maikatlo nga oras iti rabii.”
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Imbilinna met kadakuada a maipaayan ni Pablo kadagiti ayup a mabalinna a pagsakayan, ken ipanda isuna a natalged kenni Felix a gobernador.
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Ket nagsurat iti surat a kastoy:
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
Claudius Lisias, iti kalalaingan a gobernador Felix, kablaaw.
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.
Daytoy a tao ket tiniliw dagiti Judio ken nag nganganida a patayen, idi napanak kadakuada a kaduak dagiti soldado ket insalakanmi isuna, manipud idi naammoak nga isuna ket maysa nga umili iti Roma.
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Kayatko a mammoan no apay a pinabasolda isuna, isu nga impanko isuna iti konsehoda.
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.
Naammoak nga isu ket napabasol maipanggep kadagiti salsaludsod maipapan iti lintegda, ngem awan iti pammabasol a maibusor kenkuana a matudingan iti patay wenno pannakaibalud.
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.”
Ket naipakaammo kaniak nga adda iti panggep a maibusor iti daytoy a tao, isu a dagus nga imbaonko kenka ken imbagak met kadagiti mangpabpabasol kenkuana nga iyegda dagiti darum a maibusor kenkuana iti imatangmo. Agpakadaakon.”
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Isu a tinungpal dagiti soldado dagiti bilinna: innalada ni Pablo ket impanda isuna idiay Antipatris iti rabii.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Iti simmaruno nga aldaw, kaadduan kadagiti soldado ti nangpanaw kadagiti nakakabalyo a lallaki a mangkadua kenkuana ket nagsusublida iti kuartel.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Idi nakadanonen dagiti nakakabalyo a lallaki idiay Cesarea ken naituloddan ti surat iti gobernador, imparangda met ni Pablo kenkuana.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Idi nabasa ti gobernador ti surat, sinaludsodna no ania a probinsia ti naggapuan ni Pablo; ket idi naammoanna nga isuna ket naggapu idiay Cilicia,
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
kinunana, “Denggenkanto a naimbag inton umay dagiti nangidarum kenka ditoy.” Ket imbilinna a maipupok isuna idiay palasio ni Herodes.
