Oihana 23

1 HAKA pono mai la o Paulo i ka ahalunakanawai, i mai la, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, ua noho kupa wau me ka lunaikehala maikai wale no i ke Akua a hiki mai nei i keia la.

And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day.

2 Kena ae la ke kahuna nui o Anania i ka poe e ku kokoke ana io na la, e pai ia ia ma ka waha.

And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth.

3 Alaila, i aku la o Paulo ia ia, E pai mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe, e ka paia i hookeokeoia. Ke noho nei anei oe e hooko mai i ke kanawai ia'u, a ke kena mai nei anei oe, e paiia mai au ma ka mea ku ole i ke kanawai.

Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?

4 Olelo mai la ka poe o ku ana ilaila. Ke olelo ino nei anei oe i ke kahuna nui o ke Akua?

And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest?

5 I aku la o Paulo, E na hoahanau, aole au i ike, o ke kahuna nui ia. No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai, Mai olelo hoino aku oe i ke alii o kou poe kanaka.

And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.

6 A ike aku la o Paulo, he poe Sadukaio kekahi o lakou, a he poe Parisaio kekahi, alaila hea aku la ia ma ka ahalunakanawai, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, he Parisaio wau, he keiki na kekahi Parisaio; a no ka manaolana i ke alahouana o ka poe make, ua hookolokoloia mai nei au.

But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.

7 A i kana olelo ana pela, kuee iho la ka poe Parisaio, a me ka poe Sadukaio; a mokuahana iho la ua aha kanaka la.

And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.

8 No ka mea, ua olelo mai ka poe Sadukaio, aole alahouana, aole anela, aole uhane; aka, o ka poe Parisaio, hooiaio no lakou i keia mau mea elua.

For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.

9 Nui loa iho la ka uwa; ku mai la na kakauolelo no ka poe Parisaio, hoopaapaa ikaika ae la lakou, i ae la, Aole loaa ia makou ka hewa iloko o keia kanaka. A ina he uhane, a he anela paha i olelo mai ia ia, mai ku e kakou i ke Akua.

And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

10 Nui loa iho la ke kuee, no ia mea, makau ae la ka lunatausani o weluwelu o Paulo ia lakou, kena ae la ia i ka poe koa e iho ilalo, a e kaili mai ia ia mailoko mai o lakou, a e alakai aku ia ia iloko o ka pakaua.

And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

11 A ia po iho, ku mai la ka Haku imua ona, i mai la, E hoolana oe, e Paulo; no ka mea, e like me kou hoike ana aku ia'u ma Ierusalema nei, pela no hoi oe e hoike aku ai ia'u ma Roma.

And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

12 A wanaao, ohumu kuikahi mai la kekahi poe Iudaio e hoohalua ia ia, hoohiki ae la, aole loa lakou e ai, aole hoi e inu, a pepehi lakou ia Paulo.

And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.

13 He kanaha lakou a keu aku i ohumu pela i keia hoohalua ana.

And more than forty of them took this oath.

14 Hele mai la lakou i na kahuna nui a me na lunakahiko, i mai la, Ua hoohiki makou ia makou iho i kahi hoino nui, aole loa makou e ai a pepehi makou ia Paulo.

And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death

15 No ia mea, ano, e nonoi aku oukou me ka ahalunakanawai i ka lunatausani, e kai mai ia ia io oukou nei, i ka la apopo, me he mea la e ninau hou aku i mea e akaka'i nona: a o makou nei, ua makaukau makou e pepehi ia ia i ka wa aole ia e hiki kokoke mai.

So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.

16 A lohe ke keikikane a ke kaikuwahine o Paulo i ko lakou hoohalua ana, hele aku la ia, komo aku la iloko o ka pakaua, a hai aku la ia Paulo.

But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

17 Alaila, hea aku la o Paulo i kekahi o na lunahaneri, i aku la ia ia, E alakai oe i keia kanaka opio i ka lunatausani; no ka mea, he olelo kana e hai aku ai ia ia.

And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.

18 Nolaila, lawe ae la oia ia ia, alakai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, I hea mai nei ia'u o Paulo ka mea i paa, a nonoi mai ia'u e alakai mai i keia kanaka opio ia oe, he olelo kana e hai aku ai ia oe.

So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.

19 Alaila, lalau ae la ka lunatausani i kona lima, a hele malu ae la, ninau aku la, Heaha kau mea e hai mai ia'u?

And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?

20 I aku la ia, Ua ohumu ka poe Iudaio e nonoi aku ia oe e kai aku ia Paulo i ka ahalunakanawai, i ka la apopo, me he mea la e ninau hou aku i mea nona e akaka'i.

And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.

21 Mai ae aku oe ia lakou; no ka mea, ke hoohalua nei nona hookahi kanaha kanaka, a keu o lakou; ua hoohiki lakou ia lakou iho i kahi hoino nui, aole e ai, aole hoi e inu, a pepehi lakou ia ia: Ano hoi ke makaukau nei lakou, e kakali ana no kau olelo.

But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.

22 Nolaila kuu mai la ka lunatausani i ua kanaka opio la, papa mai la, Mai hai ae oe i kekahi kanaka i kou hoike ana mai ia'u i keia mau mea.

So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

23 Nolaila, kii aku la ia i na lunahaneri elua, i aku la, E hoomakaukau i na koa, elua haneri, e hele i Kaisareia, a me na hoohololio, he kanahiku, a me na kanaka ihe, elua haneri, i ke kolu o ka hora o ka po;

And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

24 A e hoomakaukau i na holonolona hoi, i kau lakou ia Paulo maluna, a e lawe maikai aku ia ia io Pelika la, i ke alii kiaaina.

And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler.

25 Kakau aku la ia i kekahi palapala, penei;

And he sent a letter in these words:

26 O Kelaudio Lusia, i ke alii kiaaina hanohano, ia Pelika, aloha:

Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.

27 Ua hopuia keia kanaka e na Iudaio, a mai pepehiia oia e lakou; alaila, hiki e aku la au me ka poe koa, a hoopakele ia ia, no ko'u lohe ana, he Roma ia.

This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.

28 A i kou ake ana e ike i ke kumu a lakou i hoopii ai ia ia, kai ae la au ia ia iloko o ko lakou ahalunakanawai:

And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin:

29 A ike aku la au ia ia, ua hoopiiia oia no kekahi mau mea o ko lakou kanawai, aole hoi lakou i hoopii mai ia ia, ma ka mea e pono ai ka make, a me ka paa.

Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.

30 A i haiia mai ia'u ka hoohalua ana o na Iudaio i ua kanaka la, hoouna koke aku la au ia oe, a kauoha aku la no hoi i ka poe i hoopii mai ia ia, e hai aku imua ou i ka mea a lakou i ike ai ia ia. Aloha oe.

And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.

31 Alaila, lawe ae la ka poe koa ia Paulo, e like me ke kena ana mai ia lakou, a alakai aku la ia ia i ka po, i Anetipateri.

So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.

32 A ia la ae, waiho iho la lakou i ka poe hoohololio, e hele pu me ia, a hoi aku la lakou i ka pakaua.

But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:

33 A hiki aku la lakou i Kaisareia, haawi aku la lakou i ka palapala i ke alii kiaaina, a hooku iho la ia Paulo imua ona.

And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.

34 A heluhelu iho la ke alii, a ninau mai la ia, No ka panalaau hea ia? A lohe ia, no Kilikia,

And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

35 I mai la ia, A hiki mai ka poe hoopii ia oe, alaila e hoolohe aku au ia oe. Kauoha ae la ia e malamaia oia maloko o ko Herode hale alii.

I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
