Katwa Nono Katwa 23
1 Bulus yenje vat anan kudare, aworo, “nuana ning, Nbun Kutelle, lissosin ninghe licinari udak kitimone.”
And when Paul had looked on the assembly of them, he said: Men, my brethren; I have lived in all good conscience before God up to this day.
2 Hananiyas u Priest udya woro nale na iyissin kupo me iriughe nnu.
And Ananias, the priest, commanded those who stood by his side, to smite Paul on the 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 Paul said to him: God is here-after to smite thee, thou Whited Wall! For, sittest thou judging me agreeably to law, while thou transgressest the law, and commandest to smite me?
4 Alenge na iwa yissin kupome woro, “Nenere udin zoguzung ndya na Priest Kutelle?”
And those standing by, said to him: Dost thou reproach the priest of God!
5 Bulus woro, “Na meng yiruba nuana, au ame udya na Priestari. Bara ina yertin, yenje iwa lira nanzang kitine nadidya nanit.”
Paul said to them: I was not aware, my brethren, that he was the priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not curse the 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.”
And, as Paul knew that a part of the people were of the Sadducees, and a part of the Pharisees, he cried out, in the assembly: Men, my brethren; I am a Pharisee the son of a Pharisee; and for the hope of the 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 had said this, the Pharisees and Sadducees fell upon one another, and the people were 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 Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angels, nor a spirit: but the Pharisees 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 great vociferation. And some Scribes of the party of the Pharisees rose up, and contended with them, and said. We have found nothing evil in this man: for if a spirit or an angel hath conversed with him, what is there in that?
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, as there was great commotion among them, the Chiliarch was afraid lest they should tear Paul in pieces. And he sent Romans, to go and pluck him from their midst, and bring him into the castle.
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 night came, our Lord appeared to Paul, and said to him: Be strong; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so also art thou to testify 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 was morning, several of the Jews assembled together, and bound themselves by imprecations that they would neither eat nor drink until they had slain Paul.
13 Anan nisilinghe wa katin anit akut anas.
And they who had established this compact by oath, were more than forty persons.
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 went to the priests and Elders, and said: We have bound ourselves by imprecations, that we will taste of nothing, until we shall have slain 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.”
And now, do ye and the chiefs of the congregation request of the Chiliarch, that he would bring him unto you, as if ye were desirous to investigate truly his conduct: and we are prepared to slay him, ere 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 Paul's sister, heard of this plot: and he went into the castle, and 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 sent and called one of the centurions, and said to him: Conduct this youth to the Chiliarch; for he hath something 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 took the young man, and introduced him to the Chiliarch, and said: Paul the prisoner called me, and requested me to bring this youth to thee, for he hath something to tell thee.
19 Nasoje kifoghe ncara ado ninghe kusari kurum, anin tiringhe, “Inyanghari udi ninsu ubelli?”
And the Chiliarch took the young man by his hand, and led him 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 young man said to him: The Jews have projected to ask thee to bring down Paul to-morrow to their assembly, as if wishing to learn something 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.”
But be not thou persuaded by them: for, lo, more than forty persons of them watch for him in ambush, and have bound themselves by imprecations, that they will neither eat nor drink until they shall have slain him: and lo, they are prepared, and are waiting for thy promise
22 Udya nasoje tunna asuna kwanyana anya, awunughe kutu, “Yenje uwa bellin umong ubelli ile imone.”
And the Chiliarch dismissed the young man, after charging him: Let no man know, that thou hast showed me these things.
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 and prepare two hundred Romans to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and shooters with the right hand two hundred; and let them set out 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 also a saddle beast, that they may set Paul on it, and carry him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Anin su iyerte nafo nenge:
And he wrote a letter and gave them, in which was, thus:
26 “Lisiya udu kitin gumna udya Felix, indin lisufi.
Claudius Lysias to the excellent 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.
The Jews seized this man, in order to kill him; but I came with Romans, and rescued him, when I learned that he was a Roman.
28 In wa di ninsu inyinin inyaghari nta idin vurzughe uliiru, umini wa do ninghe nanya kudaru mine.
And as I wished to know the offence, for which they criminated him, I brought him to their assembly.
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 it was about questions of their law they accused him, and that an offence worthy of bonds or of death, was not upon 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 the wiles of a plot formed by the Jews against him came to my knowledge, I forthwith sent him to thee. And I have directed his accusers, to go and contend with him, before thee. Farewell.
31 Asoje su kata nin duka ule na inanani: Iyauna Bulus ku idamun kitin Antipatiris.
Then the Romans, as they had been commanded, took Paul by night, and brought him to the city of Antipatris.
32 Ukurtung kuye, ngbardang nasoje suna anan nibarke nya ninghe, inung tutung kpila kika na inuzu ku.
And the next day, the horsemen dismissed the footmen their associates, that they might return to the castle.
33 Na anan nibarake duru u'Siseriya, inakpa iyerte nacaran gumne umunu Bulus ku vat kitime.
And they brought him to Caesarea: and they delivered the letter to the governor, and set Paul 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 of what province he was? And when he learned that he was of Cilicia,
35 aworo, “In ma lanzu fi vat asa anan vursufe nda kikane.” Anin ta iceghe kudaru Hirudus.
he said to him: I will give thee audience, when thy accusers arrive. And he ordered him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
