< Sinthongei 24 >

1 Sûn rangnga suole Ochai Inlaltak Ananias hah upangei senkhat le balamtheipu a riming Tertullas ngei le Ceasarea khuoa an sea. Felix makunga an vânlanga male Paul an nônna roi hah an va rila.

Five days after this, Ananias the High Priest came down to Caesarea with a number of Elders and a pleader called Tertullus. They stated to the Governor the case against Paul.

2 Hanchu Paul hah an koi lûta, male Tertullus'n hi anghin an nônna roi a hong misîr phuta: “Nasa sabak na! No roijêk theina jârin inngêi takin zora sôtak kin om ngâi sik le kin ram sana rang sinsiem anângngei murdi khom nangman mi ni thop sikin.

So Paul was sent for, and Tertullus began to impeach him as follows: "Indebted as we are," he said, "to you, most noble Felix, for the perfect peace which we enjoy, and for reforms which your wisdom has introduced to this nation,

3 Kho zora khoma, kho muna khom râisântakin kin om ngâi.

in every instance and in every place we accept them with profound gratitude.

4 No zora minchâi ok rang hi jôt mu ung han khom nu nunhoina sikin ko chong bongkik hi mi lei rangâi pe rangin nang ko hong ngên.

But--not to detain you too long--I beg you in your forbearance to listen to a brief statement from us.

5 Ma miriem hin asân mi min jêla; muntina Judangei lâia injêlnangei a musuok phuta Nazareth pâla ruoipu inkhat ani ti kin riet.

For we have found this man Paul a source of mischief and a disturber of the peace among all the Jews throughout the Empire, and a ringleader in the heresy of the Nazarenes.

6 Pathien Biekin min nim rangin a tho ngâi sikin kin lei sûr ania, kin balam angin a roi hih jêk kin nuoma.

He even attempted to profane the Temple, but we arrested him.

7 Hannisenla, râlmi ulientak Lysias a honga, male rangrât rengin kin kôm renga a tuonga.

8 Ama nônpungei khom na makunga inlang rangin chong a pêk sa, nangma reng khomin rekel inla, kin nônna bi ngei hi ama renga khom hin riet thei ni tih,” a tia.

You, however, by examining him, will yourself be able to learn the truth as to all this which we allege against him."

9 Judangei khomin an nônna an lei thopa ma ngei murdi hah adik kêng an lei tia.

The Jews also joined in the charge, maintaining that these were facts.

10 Masuole chu râiôt'n Paul hah chong rangin kut jâpin a kôia, Paul'n, “Kum tamtak hi jât nget chunga roijêkpu ne lei ni ti ki riet sikin asân ka râiasâna, râisântakin na makunga hin ki dikna thurchi ki misîr rang ani, a tia.

Then, at a sign from the Governor, Paul answered, "Knowing, Sir, that for many years you have administered justice to this nation, I cheerfully make my defence.

11 Jerusalema Pathien biek rangin ko hong se ni renga hi sûn sômleinik pên lani nonih ti nangma rengin riet thei ni tih.

For you have it in your power to ascertain that it is not more than twelve days ago that I went up to worship in Jerusalem;

12 Pathien Biekina tute kên khal puina omak, Synagogngeia le khopuiliena, kho mun khoma, Mipuingei saloi tho ranga ki misietna Judangei mu mak ngei.

and that neither in the Temple nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city, did they find me disputing with any opponent or collecting a crowd about me.

13 Atûna no kôma min juong nônna hi khom inthâr takin misîr thei no ni ngei.

Nor can they prove the charges which they are now bringing against me.

14 Nikhomrese hi chong hih no kôm muphuong ki tih: Anni ngeiin minchuna dikloi an lei ti ngâi lam dang tieng ei richibulngei Pathien ke lei jûia, hannirese Moses Balama lênziek le dêipungei lekhabungei murdi chu ke lei iem ani.

But this I confess to you--that in the way which they style a heresy, I worship the God of our forefathers, believing everything that is taught in the Law or is written in the Prophets,

15 Keima khom anni ngei angin Pathiena sabeina ko dôn, mi murdi ngei, midik le dikloi, thina renga inthoinôkna ngeia.

and having a hope directed towards God, which my accusers themselves also entertain, that before long there will be a resurrection both of the righteous and the unrighteous.

16 Masikin Pathien le miriem makunga hin sielesarietna diktak hih kho zora khom dôn tit rang hih ke lei nuom tak ani.

This too is my own earnest endeavour--always to have a clear conscience in relation to God and man.

17 “Kum tamtak Jerusalem ka mâk suo nûkin, ka jât mingei rang sum le inbôlnangei pêk rangin ke sea.

"Now after an interval of several years I came to bring alms to my nation, and to offer sacrifices.

18 Ma zora han inthiengna ko dôn suole Biekina min mua, ma zora han mipuingei khom ommak ngeia ite rahang a rât khom om mak.

While I was busy about these, they found me in the Temple purified, with no crowd around me and no uproar; but there were certain Jews from the province of Asia.

19 Hannirese, Asia rama Judangei senkhatngei mahan an oma; anni ngei han min nônna thurchi hin imo misîr rang an dônin chu, no kôm hin juong misîr rese ngei.

They ought to have been here before you, and to have been my prosecutors, if they have any charge to bring against me.

20 Nônchu ma muna mingei hin roijêkpungei makunga kên ding zora han imo ki minchâina an man misîr rese ngei.

Or let these men themselves say what misdemeanour they found me guilty of when I stood before the Sanhedrin,

21 Hi neinun inkhat an makunga kên ding lâia ki ti telloiin chu: ‘Mithi inthoinôkna aom tiin iemna ko dôn ti hi aviensûn ten hin hi angtaka dûktonga ko omna chu ani.’” a tia.

unless it was in that one expression which I made use of when I shouted out as I stood among them, "'The resurrection of the dead is the thing about which I am on my trial before you to-day.'"

22 Hanchu Felix hah, ma roi hah asadima lei min riet ani sikin, roijêkna hah a minngama, “Râlmi ulientak Lysias a juong tung tena nin roi hi la jêk rong,” a ti pe ngeia.

At this point Felix, who was fairly well informed about the new faith, adjourned the trial, saying to the Jews, "When the Tribune Lysias comes down, I will enter carefully into the matter."

23 Hanchu Paul a rungpu ulientak kôm han asadima enkôl rangin chong a pêka, aniatachu alekti mojôk rangin le a malngei anângngei pêk thei rangin phalna a pêka.

And he gave orders to the Captain that Paul was to be kept in custody, but be treated with indulgence, and that his personal friends were not to be prevented from showing him kindness.

24 Sûn idôr mini suole Felix le a lômnu Drusilla, Juda nupang leh an honga. Paul hah an kôia Jisua Khrista taksônna roia an chonga, a thurchi hah an rangâia.

Not long after this, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, a Jewess, and sending for Paul, listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.

25 Paul'n dikna ngei, indînna, male roijêk nikhuo ahong tung rang ngei, a misîr pea anînchu Felix han asân a chia, “Atûn chu ne se thei zoi. Zora ka man tika nang koi nôk ki tih,” a tipea.

But when he dealt with the subjects of justice, self-control, and the judgement which was soon to come, Felix became alarmed and said, "For the present leave me, and when I can find a convenient opportunity I will send for you."

26 Ma zoratak han Paul'n sum mi pêk duoi mo ti sabeina a dôna; masika han a kôia a chongpui bang ngâi ani.

At the same time he hoped that Paul would give him money; and for this reason he sent for him the oftener to converse with him.

27 Kum inik dôr a vunsuo lechu, Porcius Festus, Felix hah râiôt'n a thûl zoia. Felix han Judangei modômna man rang a nuom sikin Paul ha intâng ina a mâk chiena.

But after the lapse of fully two years Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and being desirous of gratifying the Jews, Felix left Paul still in prison.
