Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 23
1 YA si Pablo jagueguesatan y inetnon, ya ilegña: Mañelo, lalâlâjayo contodo y minauleg y jinasoco asta este na jaane.
Paul, looking sraight at the council, said, “Brothers, right up to now I have always conducted myself before God with a clear conscience.”
2 Ya y magas na pale as Ananias, jatago ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña na umapatmada pachotña.
Ananias the high priest ordered the officers standing beside Paul to hit him on the mouth.
3 Ayonae ilegña si Pablo nu güiya: Si Yuus unpinatmada, apaca na padet: sa matachong jao para unjusgayo pot y lay; ya manago jao na jumapatmada contra y lay?
Paul said to him, “God will hit you, you whitewashed wall! You're sitting there to judge me according to the law, and you order me to be hit in contravention of the law!”
4 Ya ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña, ilegñija: Yyon Yuus y magas na pale unlalalatde?
The officers standing beside Paul said, “How dare you insult the high priest!”
5 Ayo nae ilegña si Pablo: Ti jutungo, mañelo cao güiya y magas na pale: sa esta matugue, Chamo sumasangan taelaye gui magalajen y tanomo.
“Brothers, I didn't know that he was the high priest,” Paul replied. “As Scriptures say, ‘You must not speak evil of any ruler of your people.’”
6 Lao anae jatungo si Pablo na y un patte Saduseo, ya y otro Fariseo, umagang juyong gui inetnon: Mañelo, Guajo Fariseo, lajin un Fariseo: gui ninangga yan y quinajulo guinen manmatae na mafafaesenyo.
When Paul realized that some of the council were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee! I'm on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead!”
7 Ya anae munjayan jasangan este, guaja inaguaguat gui entalo y Fariseo yan y Saduseo: ya manmadibide y inetnon taotao.
When he said this, a tremendous argument broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees that split the council.
8 Sa y Saduseo ilegñija na taya quinajulo guinin manmatae, ni angjet, ni espiritu; lao y Fariseo jasasanganja todo.
(The Sadducees say there is no resurrection from the dead, no angels, and no spirits, but Pharisees believe in all of these.)
9 Ya ayonae cajulo dangculon inagang: ya y palo escriba ni y manestaba gui Fariseo na patte, mangajulo ya managuaguat, ilegñija: Ti inseda tinaelaye güine na taotao: lao jafa, yaguin espiritu pat angjet sumangane güe?
A great commotion erupted and some of the Pharisee teachers of the law stood up and argued fiercely, saying, “We find this man not guilty! Maybe a spirit spoke to him, or an angel!”
10 Ya anae guaja dangculon inaguaguat, ya y magas y inetnon maañao na nosea umapidaso si Pablo nu sija, manago ni y sendalo na ujafanjanao papa, ya ujacone si Pablo guiya sija fuetsao, ya umacone jalom gui castiyo.
The argument was getting out of hand, so the commander, concerned that they would tear Paul to pieces, ordered the soldiers to go and rescue him from them by force, and take him back into the fortress.
11 Ya anae puenge, y Señot tumojgue gui oriyaña, ya ilegña: Namauleg inangocomo Pablo: sa taemanoja y ninamatungomo nu guajo guiya Jerusalem, taegüijeja locue nae unnamatungo guiya Roma.
Afterwards, during the night, the Lord stood by Paul, and told him, “Keep up your courage! Just as you have given your testimony about me in Jerusalem, so you must be my witness in Rome as well.”
12 Ya anae manana, palo gui Judios mandaña, ya manmanjula gui papa y matdision, ilegñija na ti ufañocho yan ti ufanguimen astaqui umapuno si Pablo.
Next day some Jews plotted together, and they took an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
13 Ya mas di cuarenta y fumatinas este na juramento.
Over forty were part of this conspiracy.
14 Ya manmalag y magas mamale, yan y manamco, ya ilegñija: Esta manmanjulajam gui papa y matdision, na ti infañocho ni jafa astaqui inpino si Pablo.
They went to the chief priests and leaders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
15 Ya pago jamyo yan y dinaña, fanatungo yan y magas y inetnon ya infanmaconie agupa, ya inquetungo palo mas magajet pot güiya; ya jame infamaulegjam para, yaguin esta jijot, inpino.
So you and the council should send word to the commander that he should bring Paul down to meet with you, as if you wanted to examine his case in more detail. We're ready to kill him along the way.”
16 Ya anae jajungog y lajin y chelun Pablo y ninangganñiñija, mapos ya jumalom gui castiyo, ya jasangane si Pablo.
But Paul's nephew (his sister's son) heard about their planned ambush, and he went into the fortress and told Paul about it.
17 Ayonae si Pablo jaagang uno gui senturion ya ilegña: Cone este y patgon na taotao asta y magas y inetnon: sa guaja para usinangane.
Paul called over one of the centurions, and told him, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has some information to share with him.”
18 Ya jamantiene, ya jacone guato gui magas y inetnon, ya ilegña: Si Pablo ni y maprereso jaagangyo, ya jatayuyutyo para jucone este y taotao guato guiya jago, sa guaja para unsinangane.
So the centurion took Paul's nephew and brought him to the commander and told him, “The prisoner Paul called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
19 Ayonae y magas y inetnon, minantiene canaeña ya sumuja y dos gui un banda, ya finaesen, ilegña: Jafa ayo y para unsanganeyo?
The commander took the young man by the hand and drew him aside. “What do you have to tell me?” he asked quietly.
20 Ya güiya ilegña: Y Judios esta manatungo na unmagagao ya uncone agupa papa si Pablo gui inetnon, taegüije y malagoñija, na umaquetungo y magajet guiya güiya.
“The Jews have arranged to ask you to bring Paul to the council tomorrow, as if they wanted to ask more detailed questions about his case,” he explained.
21 Lao chamo umangongoco jao nu sija: sa esta y manmannanangga pot güiya, mas di cuarenta na taotao ni y manmanjula na ti ufañocho, yan ti ufanguimen astaqui mapuno güe; ya pago umananggañiñija y promesamo.
“Please don't listen to them, because they have planned to ambush him with more than forty men who have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They're ready right now, waiting for you to agree to the request.”
22 Ayonae y magas y inetnon, janajanao y patgon na taotao, ya jaencatga, na chaña sumangangane ni jaye na taotao na ninatungo güe ni este na güinaja.
The commander sent the young man on his way, warning him, “Don't tell anyone that you've told me about this.”
23 Ya jaagang dos na senturion, ya ilegña: Nalisto dosientos na sendalo para ufanjanao para Sesarea, yan setenta ni y manquinababayo, yan dosientos ni y manmanlalansa, para y mina tres na ora gui puenge;
He summoned two centurions and told them, “Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, together with seventy cavalry-men and two hundred spearmen. Be ready to leave at nine p.m. tonight.
24 Ya unfamauleque sija gâgâ sija para ujanamaudae si Pablo, ya ujacone guato satbo gui as magalaje as Felix.
Provide horses for Paul to ride to make sure he gets to Governor Felix safely.”
25 Ya manugue un catta, na taegüine mapoloña:
He also wrote a letter that went like this:
26 Claudio Lysias para y mas magas na magalaje as Felix, jusaluda jao.
“From Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor Felix, greetings!
27 Este na taotao, macone ni y Judios ya para ujapuno: ya matoyo yan y sendalujo ya junalibre güe, sa jutungo na Romano güe.
This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, when I arrived on the scene with soldiers and rescued him, because I had found out he was a Roman citizen.
28 Ya malagoyo na jutungo pot jafa na mafaaela güe, ya jucone guato gui inetnonñija:
I wanted to know the reason for their accusations, so I took him before their council.
29 Ya jusoda na mafaaela pot finaesen gui layñija; lao taya isaoña na jamerese na umapuno, pat umapreso.
I found out the charges against him had to do with issues regarding their law, but he was not guilty of anything that merited death or imprisonment.
30 Ya anae masanganeyo jafa y Judios ninangganñiñija pot y taotao, enseguidas jutago para iya jago, ya fanago para ayo sija y fumaaela y ujasangan gui menamo jafa guaja guiya sija contra güiya. Adios.
When I discovered a plot against this man I sent him to you right away, ordering his accusers to make their complaints before you.”
31 Ayonae y sendalo sija ni y tinagoña, macone si Pablo gui puenge ya macone guato Antipatris.
So the soldiers followed their orders and took Paul overnight to Antipatris.
32 Ya y inagpaña, mapolo y manquinababayo na ujafanjanao yan güiya, ya manalo guato gui castiyo.
The next morning they sent him on with the cavalry, and went back to the fortress.
33 Ya anae manmato Sesarea, manae y magalaje ni y catta, ya mapoloja locue si Pablo gui menaña.
When the cavalry arrived at Caesarea they delivered the letter to the governor and brought Paul before him.
34 Ya anae munjayan y magalaje jataetae y catta, jafaesen jafa na provinsia güe; ya jatungo na taotao Silisia.
After reading the letter, the governor asked Paul what province he came from. When he learned he was from Cilicia he told Paul,
35 Ya ilegña nu güiya: Jujungog jao yaguin manmato locue ayo sija y fumaaela jao. Ya manago na umaadaje gui tribunal gui palasyo Herodes.
“I will investigate your case when your accusers arrive.” He ordered Paul detained in Herod's palace.
