Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
Paul-na Sanhedrin-gi misingda munna yenglaga hairak-i, “Eigi ichil inaosa, ngasi numit asi phaoba eina Tengban Mapugi mangda hingjarakliba asida eigi achum aran khangba pukning asi mapung phana sengna leijari.”
2 The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Maduda Purohitlen Ananias-na Paul-gi manakta leplamba mising aduda mahakpu machinda thajillu haina yathang pirammi.
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?”
Maduda Paul-na mangonda hairak-i, “Angouba teisinba phaklang, Tengban Mapuna nahakpu soidana yeigani. Nahakna Wayelgi matung inna eibu wayelnaba mapham aduda phamli aduga nahakna eibu phunaba makhoida yathang piduna Wayel Yathang adubudi thugaire!”
4 Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
Paul-gi manakta leplamba mising aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Kari natik leiduna nahakna Tengban Mapugi Purohitlenbu ikaiba pibra?”
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.’”
Maduda Paul-na khumlak-i, “Ichil inaosa, mahak Purohitlenni haibasi ei khang-houdare. Tengban Mapugi puyada asumna iduna lei, ‘Nahakna nakhoigi luchingbabu phattaba ngangloidabani.’”
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!”
Adubu makhoi kangbu kharadi Sadducee-singni aduga kangbu kharana Pharisee-singni haiba Paul-na khanglabada mahakna Sanhedrin-gi misingda laorak-i, “Eigi ichil inaosa, eihak Pharisee amani aduga Pharisee amagi machani. Asibasingna hinggatkani haiba asa leibagi eibu mapham asida wayel touribani.”
7 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
Mahakna masi hek haibaga Pharisee-sing amasung Sadducee-singgi marakta yetnaba hourammi aduga miyam adu napak tanarammi.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
(Maramdi asibasingna hinggatloi amasung swarga dut amadi thawai leite haina Sadducee-singna hai adubu Pharisee-singnadi pumnamak asi lei haina thajei.)
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!”
Aduga laonaba adu kankhatlaklammi aduga Pharisee-singgi kangluptagi wayel yathanggi ojasing kharana lepkhatlaga kanna yettuna hairak-i, “Eikhoina mi asida aranba amata phangde! Swarga dut amana nattraga thawai amana karigumba tasengna mangonda nganglamba thoklabadi?”
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.
Yetnaba adu yamna sathirakpadagi makhoina Paul-bu machet machet tana segaikhiba yai haina lanmi makok adu kirammi. Maram aduna lanmising adu kumthaduna Paul-bu makhoisinggi maraktagi namduna lanmi leiphamda puraknaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
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.”
Ahing aduda Mapu Ibungona Paul-gi manakta leptuna hairak-i, “Kiganu! Nahakna eigidamak Jerusalem-da sakhi piba adugumna Rome-dasu nahakna sakhi pigadabani.”
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.
Mathanggi ayukta Jihudising khara punsinduna sarou ama sillammi. Paul-bu hattriba phaoba makhoina chasu charoi thaksu thakloi haina wasaklammi.
13 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Sarou sinminakhibasi makhoi niphudagi hellammi.
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.
Adudagi makhoina athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal lamansingda chattuna hairak-i, “Paul-bu hattriba phaoba eikhoi karigumba amata charoi haina akanba wasak amaga loinana wasaknare.
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.”
Aduna houjikti mahakki maramda henna marik chumba pao louba pambagi mawongda Paul-bu hayeng nakhoigi mangda puthokpiraknaba nakhoi amadi Sanhedrin-na lanmi makok aduda pao pibiyu. Adubu mahakna mapham asida thungladringeida eikhoina mahakpu hatanaba thourang toure.”
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
Adubu Paul-gi machan nupigi machanupana makhoina sinba sarou adugi maramda tarammi. Maram aduna mahakna lanmi leiphamda changduna Paul-da madu tamlammi.
17 Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
Adudagi Paul-na lanmi chamagi mapu ama kouduna mangonda hairak-i, “Nupamacha asi lanmi makokki maphamda pukho maramdi mahakna mangonda haigadaba wa khara lei.”
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.”
Lanmi chamagi mapu aduna mahakpu lanmi makokki maphamda puraktuna hairak-i, “Phadok oiriba Paul-na eibu kouraga nupamacha asina nangonda haigadaba karigumba khara lei mahakpu nahakki nanakta punaba haijare.”
19 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Lanmi makok aduna mahakpu makhut paiduna tonganna puthoklaga mangonda hanglak-i, “Nangna eingonda kari hainingba lei?”
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.
Mahakna hairak-i, “Paul-bu hayeng Sanhedrin-da puthorakpa yanaba Jihudisinggi luchingbasingna mahakki maramda henna marik chumba pao louba pambagi mawong sasinnaduna nangonda haijanaba yanare.
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.”
Adubu makhoina haiba nahakna tabiganu maramdi nupa niphudagi henbana mahakpu hatnaba lumduna leiri. Makhoina Paul-bu hattriba phaoba kari amata chaba nattraga thakpa touroi haina wasaknakhre. Madu pangthoknaba makhoi houjik thourang touduna leire amasung nahakki ayaba ngaiduna leiri.”
22 So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
Adudagi lanmi makok aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna eingonda pao asi tamkhre haibasi kana amatada haiganu.” Adudagi mahakna naha adu chat-hankhre.
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.”
Aduga lanmi makok aduna lanmi chamagi mapu anibu kouraga hairak-i, “Ngasi numidang pung mapan taba matamda Caesarea-da chatnanaba lanmi chani thourang tou amasung sagol lanmi humphutara amadi ta paiba mi chani punna thourang tou.
24 He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
Aduga Paul-bu sagol tonghanduna puraga leingak mapu Felix-ki maphamda asoi angam leitana younaba sagol khara thourang tou.”
25 He wrote a letter like this:
Mahakna ayiba che ama asumna i-khi:
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
“Claudius Lysias, matik chaoraba leingak mapu Felix-ta: khurumjari.
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.
Jihudisingna nupa asi phaduna hatke touramle adubu mahak Rome-gi mini haiba eina khanglakpada eigi lanmi kangbu amaga loinana eina chattuna mahakpu kankhi.
28 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
Makhoina mahakpu kari maral theijillibano haiba eina khangningduna eina mahakpu makhoigi Sanhedrin-da puthokkhi.
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.
Aduga makhoigi wayel yathanggi wahanggi maramda mangonda maral theijinbani haiba eina khangle. Adubu mahakna siba yaba nattraga keisumsangda thamba yabagi matik chaba aranba thabak amata toukhide.
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.”
Mahakki maiyokta sarou ama sille haibasi eina pao phanglabada khudakta eina mahakpu nahakki naphamda thanaba leple. Aduga mahakki mathakta leiba makhoigi wakatsing adu nahakki mangda hainaba eina maral theijillibasing adudasu haikhre. Kainarasi.”
31 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Lanmising aduna makhoida piba yathang adu pangthoktuna ahing aduda makhoina Paul-bu Antipatris tanna pukhre.
32 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Mathanggi numitta sagol lanmising adu Paul-ga loinana chatnaba thanamlaga khong lanmising adu makhoigi lanmi leipham aduda hallakle.
33 When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Aduga sagol lanmising aduna mahakpu puduna Caesarea-da thunglabada ayiba che adu leingak mapuda pire amadi Paul-busu mangonda sinnaramle.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
Leingak mapu aduna ayiba che adu parammi aduga mahak kari lamdagino haina Paul-da hanglammi. Mahak Cilicia-dagini haiba mahakna khanglabada
35 “I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
mahakna hairak-i, “Nahakpu naral siriba makhoising adu youraklaba matamda eina nahakki wakat tagani,” Aduga mahakpu Herod-ki praetorium-da ngak senduna thamnaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
