Katwa Nono Katwa 23
1 Bulus yenje vat anan kudare, aworo, “nuana ning, Nbun Kutelle, lissosin ninghe licinari udak kitimone.”
And Paulos, looking upon their assembly, said, Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have conversed before Aloha, unto this day.
2 Hananiyas u Priest udya woro nale na iyissin kupo me iriughe nnu.
And Hanania the priest commanded them who stood by him to smite Paulos upon 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?”
And Paulos said to him, It will be that Aloha will smite thee, (thou) whitened wall: thou sittest to judge me according to the law, while thou transgressest the law, and commandest that they smite me!
4 Alenge na iwa yissin kupome woro, “Nenere udin zoguzung ndya na Priest Kutelle?”
And they who stood there said to him, The priest of Aloha revilest thou?
5 Bulus woro, “Na meng yiruba nuana, au ame udya na Priestari. Bara ina yertin, yenje iwa lira nanzang kitine nadidya nanit.”
Paulos said to them, I knew not, my brethren, that he is the priest; for it is written, Of the chief of thy people thou shalt not speak evil.
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.”
And when Paulos knew that (part) of the people were of the Zadukoyee and (part) of it of the Pharishee, he cried in the assembly, Men, my brethren, I am a Pharisha, the son of Pharishee; and for the hope of the resurrection of the dead am I judged.
7 Na a belle nani, mayrdang fita kitik na Farisawa nin na Sandukiyawa, lisossinghe koso kidowo.
And when he had said this, the Pharishee and the Zadukoyee fell on one another, and the people 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 the Zadukoyee say that there is no resurrection, nor angels, nor spirit; but the Pharishee confess all these.
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 was made a great noise. And certain sophree of the choice of the Pharishee arose and contended with them, and said, We have not found any thing of evil in this man; but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken with him, what is there in this?
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 when there was a great commotion among them, the tribune feared lest they should tear Paulos in pieces, and he sent to the Rumoyee to come and carry him away from the midst of them, and take him into the fortress.
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 when it was night our Lord appeared unto Paulos, and said to him, Be strong: for as thou hast testified of me in Urishlem, so is it to be that thou also in Ruma shalt testify.
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 morning, men of the Jihudoyee gathered and bound a vow upon themselves, that they would not eat or drink till they had killed Paulos.
13 Anan nisilinghe wa katin anit akut anas.
But there were of those who established by oath this compact more than forty men.
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.
And they drew nigh to the priests and to the elders, and said, A vow we have vowed upon us, that nothing will we taste until we have killed Paulos.
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.”
And now do you and the princes of the synagogue request from the tribune to bring him to you, as if you sought to investigate more truly his work, and we are prepared to kill him while he shall come to you.
16 Ama umong usaun gwanan Bulus kishono lanza nwo iyeshin nca, a nya adi Bellin Bulus ku.
And the son of the sister of Paulos heard this plot, and he entered the fortress and informed Paulos.
17 Bulus yiccilla umong nanya nasoje aworo, “Yira kwanyana kone udomun kitin dya nasoje, adi nin nimon ile na aba belunghe.”
And Paulos sent (and) called one of the centurions, and said to him, Bring this youth to the tribune, for he has somewhat to tell 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.”
And the centurion conducted the youth, and introduced him to the tribune, and said, Paulos the prisoner called me, and requested of me to bring this youth to thee, because he hath somewhat to tell thee.
19 Nasoje kifoghe ncara ado ninghe kusari kurum, anin tiringhe, “Inyanghari udi ninsu ubelli?”
And the tribune took the youth by his hand, and led him on one side, and asked him, What hast thou to tell 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 the youth said to him, The Jihudoyee have determined to request of thee to send down Paulos, tomorrow, to their synagogue, as if willing to learn somewhat more from 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.”
thou therefore yield not to them; for, behold, more than forty men of them watch for him in ambush, and have bound a curse upon themselves, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and, behold, they are ready, and wait thy promise.
22 Udya nasoje tunna asuna kwanyana anya, awunughe kutu, “Yenje uwa bellin umong ubelli ile imone.”
And the tribune dismissed the youth, when he had admonished him, Let no man know that these thou hast informed 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 he called two centurions, and said to them, Go, prepare two hundred Romans to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen and right-handed spearmen two hundred, to go forth 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.
but provide also a beast to carry Paulos, and escape to Felix the governor.
25 Anin su iyerte nafo nenge:
And he wrote a letter, and gave it to them, which was thus:
26 “Lisiya udu kitin gumna udya Felix, indin lisufi.
Klaudios Lusios unto Felix the victorious governor, peace.
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.
The Jihudoyee had seized this man to kill him; and I arose with the Romans and rescued him, when I had 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 when I sought to know the occasion of which they accused him, I brought him down to their synagogue.
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.
And I found that concerning questions of their law they accused him; and a cause worthy of bonds or of death was not in him.
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 told me of the treachery of a plot which the Jihudoyee wrought against him, I straightway sent him to thee; and I have commanded his accusers to come and speak with him before thee. Farewell.
31 Asoje su kata nin duka ule na inanani: Iyauna Bulus ku idamun kitin Antipatiris.
Then the Rumoyee, as they had been commanded, took Paulos by night, and brought him to Antipatros the city;
32 Ukurtung kuye, ngbardang nasoje suna anan nibarke nya ninghe, inung tutung kpila kika na inuzu ku.
and the day after the horsemen sent away their foot-companions to return to the fortress.
33 Na anan nibarake duru u'Siseriya, inakpa iyerte nacaran gumne umunu Bulus ku vat kitime.
And they came to Cesarea. And they gave the letter to the governor, and made Paulos stand before him.
34 Na u'Gumne belle iyerte ine, atirino Bulus nanuzu kusa komeri; na ayinno Bulus nanuzun Sisiliyari,
And when he had read the letter, he asked him from what province he was. And when he had heard that (he was) from Cilicia,
35 aworo, “In ma lanzu fi vat asa anan vursufe nda kikane.” Anin ta iceghe kudaru Hirudus.
he said to him, I will hear thee when thy accusers have come. And he commanded that they should keep him in the pretorium of Herodes.
