1 Paul long khaw khoboei rhoek te a hmaitang tih, “Manuca rhoek ka hlang rhoek, kai tah Pathen te tahae khohnin due mingcimnah boeih neh a then la ka hing thil,” a ti nah.
Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.
2 Te vaengah Paul te boh ham khosoihham Ananias loh aka pai rhoek taengah a ka neh a tueih.
Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.
3 Te dongah anih te Paul loh, “Pangbueng aka bok sak nang Pathen loh boh hamla cai coeng. Nang aka ngol loh olkhueng bangla kai soah laitloek saw. Tedae kai boh ham ol na paek te khingkhak coeng,” a ti nah.
Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?
4 Te dongah aka pai rhoek loh, “Pathen kah khosoihham te ol na bai a? a ti nah.
Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?
5 Tedae Paul loh, “Manuca rhoek khosoihham ni tila ka ming moenih. Na pilnam kah boei khaw a thae thui boel saeh tila a daek dae ta,” a ti nah.
Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’
6 Te vaengah Paul loh Sadducee te hlop at la, Pharisee rhoek te a hloeh la a om te a ming. Te dongah khoboei hmaiah, “Ka manuca ka hlang rhoek, kai khaw Pharisee koca khui kah Pharisee van ni. Ngaiuepnah neh aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah kongah kai tah lai n'tloek thil,” tila pang.
Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N+kO) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N+KO) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.
7 Te tlam te a ti dongah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah olpungnah la poeh tih, rhaengpuei la paek uh thae.
This then of him (saying *N+k+o) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.
8 Sadducee rhoek loh thohkoepnah khaw, puencawn khaw, mueihla khaw om pawh,” a ti uh Tedae Pharisee rhoek long tah te rhoek te rhenten a pom uh.
Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N+kO) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.
9 Te vaengah pangngawlnah a nah la om coeng. Pharisee rhoihui cadaek rhoek a cungvang loh pai uh tih toh uh thae. “Mueihla kawng neh puencawn kawng te a thui atah hekah hlang dongah a thae ka hmuh uh moenih,” a ti uh.
Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO) (of the scribes *N+kO) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K)
10 Olpungnah muep om tih amih loh Paul te thuek ve tila rhalboeipa loh a rhih. Te dongah suntla tih Paul te khoboei lakli lamkah doek ham neh rhalkap im la thak ham rhalkap te ol a paek.
great then (is becoming *N+kO) dissension, (having feared *N+kO) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK+o) (and *k) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.
11 A vuen hlaem ah anih taengah a ka pai Boeipa loh, “Ngaimong la om ngawn, Jerusalem ah kai kawng te na laipai puei vanbangla Rom ah laipai puei ham khaw nang n'kuek,” a ti nah.
But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.
12 Khothaih a pha vaengah Judah rhoek tah lairhui a sui uh. Amamih te thae a phoei uh tih, “Paul te ka ngawn uh hlan atah buh ka ca mahpawh, tui khaw ka o mahpawh,” a ti uh.
When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N+kO) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.
13 Te vaengah taengnah aka saii rhoek he tah sawmli hlai lo uh.
There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N+kO)
14 Amih loh khosoihham rhoek neh patong rhoek te a paan uh tih, “Paul te ka ngawn uh hlan atah caak tuep pawt ham kosi neh ka thae ka phoei uh coeng.
who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.
15 Te dongah anih kawng te tuektuek cae ham aka cai bangla Paul te namamih taengla hang khuen mai saeh tila rhalboeipa neh khoboei rhoek te nangmih loh yaak sak. Kaimih tah amah ha pawk tom lael ah anih ngawn ham sikim la ka om uh coeng,” a ti nauh.
Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K) he may bring down him (to *N+kO) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.
16 Rhongngol ha pawk te Paul kah a ngannu capa loh a yaak dongah rhalkapim la kun tih Paul taengah a puen pah.
Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N+kO) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.
17 Te vaengah rhalboei pakhat te Paul loh a khue tih, “A taengah a puen pah ham pakhat a khueh dongah cadong he rhalboeipa taengla khuen dae,” a ti nah.
Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK+o) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.
18 Te dongah anih te rhalboeipa taengla a khuen tih, “Thongtla Paul loh kai ng'khue tih, 'Nang taengah thui ham koi pakhat om tih, cadong he nang taengla khuen dae,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N+kO) to lead to you having something to say to you.
19 Rhalboeipa loh a kut ah a tuuk tih amah bueng a caeh puei. Te phoeiah,” Kai taengah na puen ham na khueh te balae aka om?” a ti nah.
Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?
20 Te dongah, “Judah rhoek loh anih te tuektuek cae ham bet a cai vanbangla thangvuen ah Paul te khoboei taengla khuen ham nang teangah dawt sih tila a kotluep uh.
He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N+K+O) something more earnestly to inquire about him.
21 Tedae amih te nang loh rhooi boeh. Amih khuikah hlang sawmli hlai loh anih te a rhongngol uh. Amih loh Paul te a ngawn uh hlan atah buh caak pawt ham neh tui ok pawt ham thae a phoei uh. Te dongah sikim la om uh coeng tih nang lamkah olkhueh ni a lamtawn uh,” a ti nah.
You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.
22 Te dongah rhalboeipa loh, “Kai taengla nan yaak sak he puek sak boeh,” tila a uen tih cadong te a tueih.
Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N+kO) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.
23 Te phoeiah rhalboei khuikah panit te a khue tih, “Rhalkap yahnih ah hmoel lamtah marhang caem sawmrhih, caaipom yahnih neh khoyin khonoek pathum lamloh Kaiserea la cet uh saeh.
And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,
24 Boiva te rhoekbah pah. Te daengah ni Paul te ngol vetih khoboei Phelix taeng duela a daem eh?,” a ti nah.
Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;
25 He kah mueimae capat a daek dongah khaw,
having written a letter (having *N+kO) form this:
26 Klaudius Lusias loh khoboei hlangcong Phelix taengah ka omngaih.
Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.
27 Hekah hlang he Judah rhoek loh a tuuk tih amamih loh ngawn ham cai uh. Rhalkap neh ka pai thil tih ka hlawt daengah Roman hlang ni tila ka ming.
man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k) having learned that a Roman he is;
28 Anih he amamih kah khoboei taengla a khuen uh tih a tingtoeh uh dongah a paelnaeh te khaw ming ham ka ngaih.
Resolving (then to know *N+kO) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k) to the council of them;
29 Anih he amamih kah olkhueng oldawtnah kawng dongah ni a tingtoeh uh te ka hmuh. Tedae dueknah nen khaw hloong nen khaw aka tiing dumlai a khueh moenih.
whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.
30 A puen vanbangla hlang taengkah a mangtaengnah he kai taengah om tih nang taengla tlek kan tueih. Nang taengah anih kawng aka thui paelnaehkung rhoek te khaw ka uen coeng,” tila om.
When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k) going to happen (by the Jews *K) (at once *NK+O) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO)

On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N+kO) with him they returned to the barracks;
33 Amih loh Kaiserea la a kun uh vanneh capat te khoboei taengah a tloeng uh tih Paul te khaw a taengah a pai sakuh.
who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.
34 A tae tih a om nah kho te a dawt daengah Kilikia kah la a ming.
Having read [it] then (governor *k) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],

I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N+kO) (then *k) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
