Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”
2 anena hanaaniiyanaamaa mahaayaajakasta. m kapole cape. tenaahantu. m samiipasthalokaan aadi. s.tavaan|
The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

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 tato nika. tasthaa lokaa akathayan, tva. m kim ii"svarasya mahaayaajaka. m nindasi?
Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”

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.’”

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 iti kathaayaa. m kathitaayaa. m phiruu"sisiduukino. h paraspara. m bhinnavaakyatvaat sabhaayaa madhye dvau sa. mghau jaatau|
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.

For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

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!”

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 raatro prabhustasya samiipe ti. s.than kathitavaan he paula nirbhayo bhava yathaa yiruu"saalamnagare mayi saak. sya. m dattavaan tathaa romaanagarepi tvayaa daatavyam|
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 dine samupasthite sati kiyanto yihuudiiyalokaa ekamantra. naa. h santa. h paula. m na hatvaa bhojanapaane kari. syaama iti "sapathena svaan abadhnan|
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 catvaari. m"sajjanebhyo. adhikaa lokaa iti pa. nam akurvvan|
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

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.

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 tadaa paulasya bhaagineyaste. saamiti mantra. naa. m vij naaya durga. m gatvaa taa. m vaarttaa. m paulam uktavaan|
But Paul’s sister’s son heard they were lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17 tasmaat paula eka. m "satasenaapatim aahuuya vaakyamidam bhaa. sitavaan sahasrasenaapate. h samiipe. asya yuvamanu. syasya ki ncinnivedanam aaste, tasmaat tatsavidham ena. m naya|
Paul summoned one of the centurions and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”
18 tata. h sa tamaadaaya sahasrasenaapate. h samiipam upasthaaya kathitavaan, bhavata. h samiipe. asya kimapi nivedanamaaste tasmaat bandi. h paulo maamaahuuya bhavata. h samiipam enam aanetu. m praarthitavaan|
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 tadaa sahasrasenaapatistasya hasta. m dh. rtvaa nirjanasthaana. m niitvaa p. r.s. thavaan tava ki. m nivedana. m? tat kathaya|
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
20 tata. h sokathayat, yihuudiiyalaakaa. h paule kamapi vi"se. savicaara. m chala. m k. rtvaa ta. m sabhaa. m netu. m bhavata. h samiipe nivedayitu. m amantrayan|
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.

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 yaamimaa. m kathaa. m tva. m niveditavaan taa. m kasmaicidapi maa kathayetyuktvaa sahasrasenaapatista. m yuvaana. m vis. r.s. tavaan|
So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

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 paulam aarohayitu. m phiilik. saadhipate. h samiipa. m nirvvighna. m netu nca vaahanaani samupasthaapayata. m|
He asked them to provide mounts, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25 apara. m sa patra. m likhitvaa dattavaan tallikhitametat,
He wrote a letter like this:
26 mahaamahima"sriiyuktaphiilik. saadhipataye klaudiyalu. siyasya namaskaara. h|
“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

“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 kinnimitta. m te tamapavadante tajj naatu. m te. saa sabhaa. m tamaanaayitavaan|
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

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 sainyaga. na aaj naanusaare. na paula. m g. rhiitvaa tasyaa. m rajanyaam aantipaatrinagaram aanayat|
So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 pare. ahani tena saha yaatu. m gho. takaaruu. dhasainyaga. na. m sthaapayitvaa paraav. rtya durga. m gatavaan|
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
33 tata. h pare gho. takaarohisainyaga. na. h kaisariyaanagaram upasthaaya tatpatram adhipate. h kare samarpya tasya samiipe paulam upasthaapitavaan|
When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 tadaadhipatistatpatra. m pa. thitvaa p. r.s. thavaan e. sa kimprade"siiyo jana. h? sa kilikiyaaprade"siiya eko jana iti j naatvaa kathitavaan,
When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35 tavaapavaadakaga. na aagate tava kathaa. m "sro. syaami| herodraajag. rhe ta. m sthaapayitum aadi. s.tavaan|
“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
