Guncei 23
1 Pawl ni sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw hah takuetluet a khet teh, hmaunawnghanaw, kai teh atu totouh ka tawksak e dawk kahawi e thoehawi panuenae lungthin hoi Cathut hmalah a thoung, ati pouh.
Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
2 Hatnavah vaihma kacue Ananias ni a teng ka kangdout e taminaw koe, Pawl e a pahni tambei pouh awh telah kâ a poe.
The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
3 Pawl nihai, ka pangaw hluk e tangkom, Cathut ni nama na hem han atipouh. Nang ni kai heh tahung laihoi kâlawk patetlah lawk na ceng nahlangva vah, kâlawk na tapoe teh kai hem hanelah kâ na poe maw, atipouh.
Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the Torah, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”
4 Ateng ka kangdout e naw nihai, nang ni Cathut e vaihma kacue na dudam, ati pouh awh.
Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”
5 Pawl nihai, hmaunawnghanaw, ahni hah vaihma kacue tie ka panuek hoeh, Cakathoung ni na miphun ka ukkungnaw na pathoe mahoeh telah a dei, atipouh.
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.’”
6 Pawl ni haw kaawm e tami atangawn teh Sadusinaw, alouknaw teh Farasinaw tie a panue dawkvah, hmaunawnghanaw kai teh Farasi buet touh lah ka o. Farasi e a capa lahai ka o. Kai teh kadoutnaw boutthawnae ngaihawinae kecu dawk hoi akungkhei e lah ka o telah sanhedrin lawkcengnae hmalah hram laihoi a dei.
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!”
7 Hottelah Pawl ni a dei torei teh, Farasinaw hoi Sadusinaw hai lawk apap awh teh, kahni touh lah a kâkapek awh.
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Sadusinaw ni boutthawnae awmhoeh, kalvantami awmhoeh, muitha awmhoeh telah ati awh. Farasinaw ni teh hotnaw koung ao telah a yuem awh.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9 Hahoi, hoe a hram awh teh Farasinaw koe e cakathutkungnaw bangpatet ni a kangdue awh teh, ahni koe a yonnae tica hai ka hmawt awh hoeh, Muitha nahoeh pawiteh, kalvantami buetbuet touh ni a dei pouh thai, telah a oun awh.
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!”
10 Hoe kâounnae ao dawkvah ransabawi ni, Pawl hah vekrasen lah sawn a langvaih ati dawkvah, ransanaw koe Pawl hah amamae ransaim imthung lah a ceikhai hane kâ a poe.
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.
11 Hatnae tangmin lah Pawl koe Bawipa a kangdue teh, lakueng hanh, Jerusalem vah kaie ka kong na kampangkhai e patetlah, Rom kho hai na kampangkhai han atipouh.
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.”
12 Khodai toteh Judahnaw ni kho a khan awh teh, Pawl thei hoe roukrak banghai canei hoeh hanelah thoe a kâbo awh.
When it was day, some of the Judeans banded together and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13 Hottelah arulah ka kâdei e naw, abuemlah tami 40 touh hlai a pha awh.
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
14 Ahnimouh ni vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw koe a cei awh teh, kaimouh ni Pawl ka thei awh hoeh roukrak banghai ka cat a mahoeh, telah thoe ka kâbo awh toe.
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.
15 Hatdawkvah nangmouh hoi sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw ni ahnie a kong kahawicalah pacei han na ngai awh e patetlah ka sak vaiteh nangmouh koe Pawl a hrawi awh thai nahan Rom ransabawi koe thaisak awh. Hi a pha hoehnahlan thei hanlah coungkacoelah ka o awh han, atipouh.
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.”
16 Hote kho a khangnae hah Pawl e tawncanu e a capa ni a thai navah thongim thung a kâen teh Pawl koe a dei pouh.
But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17 Hatnavah Pawl ni ransabawi buet touh a kaw teh, ransabawi koevah hete nawsai ni lawk dei hane a tawn dawkvah, ahni hah ransabawi kalen koe cetkhai haw atipouh.
Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
18 Ransabawi ni a ceikhai teh ransabawi kalen koe a thokhai. Thongkabawt e Pawl ni, kai hah na kaw teh, hete nawsai ni nang koe hrawi hanelah a kâhei. Ahni ni nang koe lawk dei hane ao atipouh.
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.”
19 Ransabawi ni hote nawsai e kut a kuet pouh teh, aloukcalah a kaw teh, kai koe na dei hane lawk teh bangmaw atipouh.
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20 Hote nawsai ni, Judahnaw ni Pawl hah, hoe kamceng lah pacei hane boiboe lah a kâsak awh teh, tangtho vah sanhedrin lawkcengnae koe kaw hanelah nang koe kâhei hanelah a kâcai awh.
He said, “The Judeans have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
21 Hatei ahnimae lawk tang pouh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimouh thung dawk tami 40 touh hlai ni arulah hoi Pawl hah a pawp awh. Pawl ka thei awh hoehroukrak ka catnet a mahoeh ati awh teh, thoe a kâbo awh. Atu patenghai coungkacoe lah ao awh teh, bawipa, nange lawk doeh a ring awh toe atipouh.
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.”
22 Ransabawi ni, hete kongnaw kai koe na dei e heh api koehai dei pouh hanh lah atipouh teh hote nawsai hah bout a ban sak.
So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”
23 Hathnukkhu, ransabawi kalen e ni ransabawi kahni touh a kaw teh, Kaisarea cei hanelah ransa cumhni touh sut kârakueng awh. Hahoi marangransanaw 70 touh, tahroe ka patuem thai e cumhni touh hai kârakuengkhai awh nateh, atu tangmin suimilam tako nah kamthaw hanlah sut kârakueng awh.
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.”
24 Pawl kâcui nahanelah marang sut hmoun pouh awh. Khobawi Felik koe kahawicalah phatkhai awh telah lawk a thui.
He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Hathnukkhu ransabawi ni ca a thut teh telah a patawn.
He wrote a letter like this:
26 Klaudias Lisias ni khobawi Felik koevah ca na patawn. Nang koevah hnâroumnae awmseh.
“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27 Judahnaw ni hete tami heh a man awh teh thei han toe ati awh navah, ahni teh Rom tami doeh tie ka panue toteh ransanaw hoi ka rungngang awh.
“This man was seized by the Judeans, and was about to be killed by them when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
28 Yon a hnei awh e hah bangne tie panue han ka ngai dawkvah, sanhedrin lawkcengnae hmalah ka kaw navah,
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
29 ahni teh amamae kâlawk hoi kâkuen e kamcan hoi yon a pen awh teh, duekhai kawi hoehpawiteh, thongim kamungkhai kawi yonnae a tawn tie ka hmawt hoeh.
I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
30 Hatei, Judah tami tangawn ni ahni thei hanelah a kâcai awh tie ka thai dawkvah nang koe karanglah ka thak. Yon kapen e naw hai nang na hmalah a dei awh nahanelah kâ ka poe toe.
When I was told that the Judeans 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.”
31 Hat toteh, ransabawi ni kâ a poe e patetlah Pawl hah Antipatris kho totouh karum vah a thak awh.
So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Atangtho teh marangransanaw ni pou a ceikhai awh. Alouknaw teh a ban awh.
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
33 Kaisarea totouh a ceikhai awh teh, khobawi koe, ca a poe awh teh, Pawl hai ama kut dawk a poe awh.
When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 Khobawi ni ca a touk teh Pawl teh nâ ram e maw telah a pacei. Cilicia dawk e doeh tie a panue hoi teh,
When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35 na katoekungnaw a tho torei vah, nange lai teh na ceng pouh han telah a titeh, Pawl hah Herod siangpahrang im vah khoup ring awh telah ransanaw kâ a poe.
“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
