Katwa Nono Katwa 23
1 Bulus yenje vat anan kudare, aworo, “nuana ning, Nbun Kutelle, lissosin ninghe licinari udak kitimone.”
And Paul, after looking intently at the council, said, Men, brothers, I have been a citizen in all good conscience to God until this day.
2 Hananiyas u Priest udya woro nale na iyissin kupo me iriughe nnu.
And the high priest Ananias ordered those who stood by him to strike his mouth.
3 Bulus woroghe, “Kutelle ba riufi, fe liki longo naliyissin dert ba. Ussosin nene usui ushara nin duka, uminin ta iriyi nanya purun duka?”
Then Paul said to him, God is going to smite thee, a whitewashed wall. Thou even sit judging me according to the law, and violating law, thou command me to be struck?
4 Alenge na iwa yissin kupome woro, “Nenere udin zoguzung ndya na Priest Kutelle?”
And those who stood by said, Thou revile God's high priest?
5 Bulus woro, “Na meng yiruba nuana, au ame udya na Priestari. Bara ina yertin, yenje iwa lira nanzang kitine nadidya nanit.”
And Paul said, I had not known, brothers, that he is a high priest, for it is written, Thou shall not speak ill of a ruler of thy people.
6 Na Bulu in yene kusari kudare wadi a Sandukiyawa, a kusari kurum a Farisawa, a ghatina liwui kudare kang, “Linuana meng ku Farisawari, usaun na Kufarisawa. Bara na nceo kibinayi nfeu nanan kul unere nta idin wucui nlira.”
But when Paul ascertained that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. About the hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged.
7 Na a belle nani, mayrdang fita kitik na Farisawa nin na Sandukiyawa, lisossinghe koso kidowo.
And when he said this, there developed a conflict of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the group was divided.
8 A Sandukiyawa din du na ufiu nanan kul duku ba, ana anan kadura Kutelle duku ba, na Uruhu ulau duku ba, ama a Yahudawa na woro vat nileli imone duku.
For in fact Sadducees say to be no resurrection nor agent nor spirit, but Pharisees acknowledge them all.
9 Ugbejulu udya fita, among anan niyerte na Farisawa fita fita, idi mayardang nworu, “Na tise imonimon inanzang kitin nit ulele ba. Nene andi Uruhu sa unan Kadura Kutelleri nalirin ninghefa?”
And there developed a great clamor. And some of the scholars of the Pharisees part having risen, they argued vehemently, saying, We find nothing wrong in this man. But if a spirit spoke to him, or an agent, we should not fight against God.
10 Na mayardanghe ta madyawe, udya nasoje lanza fiu nwo yenje iwa jarza Bulus ku, ata asoje idi nutunghe nin nakara nanya kudaru lissosinghe, ida ninghe ida ceo kupo me.
And a great conflict having developed, the chief captain, having been alarmed lest Paul might be torn apart by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him away from the midst of them, and bring him into the fort.
11 Nin kitik kimbe, Cikilari yissina likot me aworo, “Na uwa lanza fiu ba, Nafo na unasui unu unba in Urushalima, nanere wang umatii unu unba in Rumawa.”
And the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, Cheer up, Paul, for as thou have testified these things about me at Jerusalem, so thou must testify also at Rome.
12 Na kitin shanta, among a Yahuda munu ati isu isilin nati mine: iworo na inung ma li imonimon sa isono nmyen ba se imolo Bulus ku.
And when it became day, some of the Jews, having made a conspiracy, put themselves under a curse, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they would kill Paul.
13 Anan nisilinghe wa katin anit akut anas.
And there were more than forty who made this conspiracy,
14 Ido kiti ndy na Priest nin nakune iworo, arik nta atibite nanyan la'ana uzemzem, tisilo nwo na tiba lii sa usonu nimonimon ba se timolo Bulus ku.
who, having come near to the chief priests and the elders, said, We have put ourselves under a curse, a curse to taste of nothing until we would kill Paul.
15 Nene na kudare bellin udya nasoje adak nin Bulus kitimine, asa anung nsu usharawe gegeme. Arik ba yissinari tiba molughe ana asa daduru kikane ba.”
Now therefore ye with the council report to the chief captain that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as though going to inquire more accurately the things about him. And we, before he comes near, are prepared to kill him.
16 Ama umong usaun gwanan Bulus kishono lanza nwo iyeshin nca, a nya adi Bellin Bulus ku.
But the son of Paul's sister, having heard of the ambush, having come and entered into the fort, he informed Paul.
17 Bulus yiccilla umong nanya nasoje aworo, “Yira kwanyana kone udomun kitin dya nasoje, adi nin nimon ile na aba belunghe.”
And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to inform him.
18 Kusoje tunna kuyira kwanyane anin daninghe kitin ndya nasoje aworo, “Bulus kucine yicilai ndo kitime, amini belli nda nin kwanyana kone kitife, adinin nimon ile na aba bellinfi.”
Indeed therefore having taken him, he brought him to the chief captain, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, asked me to bring this young man to thee, who has something to say to thee.
19 Nasoje kifoghe ncara ado ninghe kusari kurum, anin tiringhe, “Inyanghari udi ninsu ubelli?”
And the chief captain having grasped his hand, and having gone in private, he asked him, What is it that thou have to inform me?
20 Kwanyane woro, “A Yahudawa yinna ima bellinfi udak nin Bulus nin kui kudaru mine, nafo ima tirinu iyinnin inyizari uliru me di.
And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee that tomorrow thou would bring Paul down to the council, as though going to inquire something more accurately about him.
21 Na uwa yinnin ninghinu ba, bara anit katin akut anas na iyeshin nca me. Na silo nin nati mine nwo na ima lii imonliba, sa isono nmyenba se imologhe. Nene wang imal ke atimine, idin ca uyinin unakpaghe.”
Therefore thou should not be persuaded by them, for more than forty men of them wait to ambush him, who have put themselves under an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they have killed him. And now they are ready, expecting the promise from thee.
22 Udya nasoje tunna asuna kwanyana anya, awunughe kutu, “Yenje uwa bellin umong ubelli ile imone.”
Indeed therefore the chief captain dismissed the young man, having ordered, Tell no man that thou have shown these things to me.
23 Ayicila among asoja aba aworo, “Sen asoja akalt aba iturun nani udu u'Siseriya, se anan ghanju nibark akut kuzor umunuku, unin kuru use anit akalt aba anan tiyop.”
And having summoned a certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen at the third hour of the night.
24 Iba fitu nanya nikoro itat nin kitik. ata nani ipizuru kibarak kanga na Bulus ma ghanu ku, inin do ninghe kitin Felix ugumna mang.
And provide beasts, so that after mounting Paul, they may bring him safely to Felix the governor,
25 Anin su iyerte nafo nenge:
after writing a letter containing this form:
26 “Lisiya udu kitin gumna udya Felix, indin lisufi.
Claudius Lysias to the eminent governor Felix, greeting.
27 A Yahudawa wa kifo unit ulele inani din cinu umolughe, in mini na lanza ame kunan Rumawari, in mini wadak nin nasoja in bologhe nacara mine.
This man who was seized by the Jews, and was going to be killed by them, having stood by with the soldiers, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.
28 In wa di ninsu inyinin inyaghari nta idin vurzughe uliiru, umini wa do ninghe nanya kudaru mine.
And wanting to know for what reason they accused him, I brought him down to their council,
29 Inna lanza au idin vurzughe in woru adin nanzu uduka mine, ama na ina seghe nin nimon imon na ibatin imolughe sa itighe licin ba.
whom I found accusing about issues of their law, having not one accusation worthy of death or of bonds.
30 inmile na lanza nworu among na kye atimine kitenen nite, in mile tunna toghe kitife, arika na idin vurzughe tutung in belle nani ida kitife nin liru mine. Uso ucine.”
And when it was reported to me of a plot going to be against the man by the Jews, I immediately sent him to thee, also having commanded the accusers to speak before thee the things against him. Be strong.
31 Asoje su kata nin duka ule na inanani: Iyauna Bulus ku idamun kitin Antipatiris.
Indeed therefore, the soldiers, according to that which was precisely arranged for them, having taken Paul, they brought him through the night to Antipatris.
32 Ukurtung kuye, ngbardang nasoje suna anan nibarke nya ninghe, inung tutung kpila kika na inuzu ku.
But on the morrow they returned to the fort, having allowed the horsemen to depart with him,
33 Na anan nibarake duru u'Siseriya, inakpa iyerte nacaran gumne umunu Bulus ku vat kitime.
who, after coming to Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
34 Na u'Gumne belle iyerte ine, atirino Bulus nanuzu kusa komeri; na ayinno Bulus nanuzun Sisiliyari,
And the governor having read it, and having questioned from what province he was, and having found out that he was from Cilicia,
35 aworo, “In ma lanzu fi vat asa anan vursufe nda kikane.” Anin ta iceghe kudaru Hirudus.
he said, I will hear thee when thine accusers also will arrive. And he commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
