Katwa Nono Katwa 24
1 Na ayiri atat in kata, Ananiyas udya na Priest, among akune nin, nin mong una yirun liru lissame Teritullus, nya udu kite. Ale anite da nin vurun liru litin Bulus.
And after five days, Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 Na Bulus in yissina in bun gumne, Teritullus tunna aghanan vurzughe in liru aworo ugumne, “Bara fe tidi nin lissosin limang; tutung ukpiluzung in bunfe in danin nimon icene in nmyen bit;
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done to this nation by thy providence,
3 nani nin godo udya tikpana vat nin nimon ilenge na usu, Felix uniti udindya.
We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Bara na ayedi in yissafi kang ba, indin potufi acara, lanzai baat nin kunene.
Notwithstanding, that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldst of thy clemency hear us a few words.
5 Bara tikpaghe nin kulapin tizu na Yahudawa vat nanya nyii inari uduka. Amere udya nanan dortu kunan Nazeret.
For we have found this a pestilent man, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Amani mala uti kutii inlira kudyawe facak; unare tinani kpaghe.
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 Amma ugo likume Lisiyas wa dak, a da kpalkinghe nin likara na cara bite.
But the chief captain Lysias came and with great violence took [him] out of our hands,
8 Asa utiro Bulusku kitenen tipinpin tone, fewang manin yinnu imon irika na tidin bellu litime.”
Commanding his accusers to come to thee: by examining whom, thou thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him.
9 A Yahudawe ligowe vat joro Bulus iworo, uliru ulele kidegenghari.
And the Jews also assented, saying, that these things were so.
10 Ama na ugumne woro Bulus ku alirin, Bulus kawa, “Inyinno nwo fedi unan mawucuwucu nmyen mone inworsu, bara nani nin kibinayi kibo inma bell uliru litining.
Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Use uyinnu in woro na isa kata ayiri likure nin naba ba nin duning u'Urushalima indi su usujada;
That thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 na inung wase mengku nanya kutii in lira kudywe, na meng wasu mayardang nin mong mine ba, tutung na meng na tulu ligozin nanit ba, na inansu nani kutii in lira kudywe ba, a na inna su nani nanya kagbri ba;
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither exciting the people to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 tutung na inung wasa durofi ulire na idin vuszi mung ba nene.
Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Ama meng yinna nbunfe nworu, kitene libauwe na inung din yiccu umon ubi, in loli libau lirumere ndin su Kutelle nacif ning katwa. Meng di lau nanya vat nimon ile na idin duka nin nana liru nin nuu Kutelle.
But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 Meng dinin yinnu urumere kiti Kutelle, nafo na ale anite din caa ndakin fituzu nanan kul, nan vat nanit alau nin nanan dinong;
And have hope towards God, which they themselves also allow, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 tutung nanya nile imon, ndi katwa nwo in yitta nin kibinayin sali nalapi nbun Kutelle nin nanit nanyan vat nimon.
And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and [towards] men.
17 Nene kimalin katu nakus gbardan inna dak nin bunnu udya a ufillu nikubu bara anit ning.
Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Na nwa din sunani, among a Yahudawa in Asiya wasei nanya lidun kusu litining nanya kutii inlire, na nwa di nin ligozin sa ufiu nayi ba.
Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Ale anite na idin bunfe, na ibellin imon irika na idumun kibinayi ninmi, adi idimun nimonimon.
Who ought to have been here before thee, and object if they had aught against me.
20 Sa na anit alele bellin utanu ule na inasei mun kubi ko nq nwq yissin kudaru na Yahudawe;
Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil-doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 andi na macas ile imon irume na nwa ghatin liwui nbelle kube na nwa yissin nbun mine, 'Ubelen fitu nanan kularita udi mawucuwucu kitimone.'”
Except it is for this one voice, that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 Iwa bellu Felix ku gegeme kitene libauwe, bara nani ata a Yahudawe so ncaa. Aworo, “Vat kubi ko na Lasiya udya nasoje da unuzun Urushalima imanin wusu uliru mine.”
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 Anin woro kusoje asu ucaa in Bulus, tutung na awayita gangang ba, yenje awa nazu adondon me nin bunghe sa uda lissughe.
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister, or come to him.
24 Na ayiri baat in kata, Felix kpila nin Durisilla uwani me, kunan Jewess, anin to iyiccila Bulus ku, anin lanza kitime ubelle yinnu sa uyenu kitene Kristi Yesu.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 Ama na Bulus lira ninghe kitene lissosin lilau, ukifu litin, nin dakin shara, fiu kpa Felix ku; anin kawa, “Can nene, asa nse kubi tutung inma yicculu fi.”
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, depart for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 Kubi kurum kone, awadin su Bulus ma ninghe ikurfu, unare asa to idak ninghe anin lira ninghe.
He hoped also that money would have been given him by Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 Ama na akusu aban kata, posiyus Fistus so ugumna kimal in Felix, Felix wadi ninsu ase useru kitin na Yahudawa, asuna Bulus ku alii ubun nanya tursu.
But after two years Porcius Festus came as successor to Felix: and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
