Guncei 23
1 Pawl ni sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw hah takuetluet a khet teh, hmaunawnghanaw, kai teh atu totouh ka tawksak e dawk kahawi e thoehawi panuenae lungthin hoi Cathut hmalah a thoung, ati pouh.
And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 Hatnavah vaihma kacue Ananias ni a teng ka kangdout e taminaw koe, Pawl e a pahni tambei pouh awh telah kâ a poe.
And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 Pawl nihai, ka pangaw hluk e tangkom, Cathut ni nama na hem han atipouh. Nang ni kai heh tahung laihoi kâlawk patetlah lawk na ceng nahlangva vah, kâlawk na tapoe teh kai hem hanelah kâ na poe maw, atipouh.
Then said Paul to him, God shall smite you, you white washed wall: for sit you to judge me after the law, and command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 Ateng ka kangdout e naw nihai, nang ni Cathut e vaihma kacue na dudam, ati pouh awh.
And they that stood by said, Revile you God’s high priest?
5 Pawl nihai, hmaunawnghanaw, ahni hah vaihma kacue tie ka panuek hoeh, Cakathoung ni na miphun ka ukkungnaw na pathoe mahoeh telah a dei, atipouh.
Then said Paul, I knew not, brothers, that he was the high priest: for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.
6 Pawl ni haw kaawm e tami atangawn teh Sadusinaw, alouknaw teh Farasinaw tie a panue dawkvah, hmaunawnghanaw kai teh Farasi buet touh lah ka o. Farasi e a capa lahai ka o. Kai teh kadoutnaw boutthawnae ngaihawinae kecu dawk hoi akungkhei e lah ka o telah sanhedrin lawkcengnae hmalah hram laihoi a dei.
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 Hottelah Pawl ni a dei torei teh, Farasinaw hoi Sadusinaw hai lawk apap awh teh, kahni touh lah a kâkapek awh.
And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 Bangkongtetpawiteh, Sadusinaw ni boutthawnae awmhoeh, kalvantami awmhoeh, muitha awmhoeh telah ati awh. Farasinaw ni teh hotnaw koung ao telah a yuem awh.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9 Hahoi, hoe a hram awh teh Farasinaw koe e cakathutkungnaw bangpatet ni a kangdue awh teh, ahni koe a yonnae tica hai ka hmawt awh hoeh, Muitha nahoeh pawiteh, kalvantami buetbuet touh ni a dei pouh thai, telah a oun awh.
And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 Hoe kâounnae ao dawkvah ransabawi ni, Pawl hah vekrasen lah sawn a langvaih ati dawkvah, ransanaw koe Pawl hah amamae ransaim imthung lah a ceikhai hane kâ a poe.
And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 Hatnae tangmin lah Pawl koe Bawipa a kangdue teh, lakueng hanh, Jerusalem vah kaie ka kong na kampangkhai e patetlah, Rom kho hai na kampangkhai han atipouh.
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as you have testified of me in Jerusalem, so must you bear witness also at Rome.
12 Khodai toteh Judahnaw ni kho a khan awh teh, Pawl thei hoe roukrak banghai canei hoeh hanelah thoe a kâbo awh.
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Hottelah arulah ka kâdei e naw, abuemlah tami 40 touh hlai a pha awh.
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 Ahnimouh ni vaihma bawinaw hoi kacuenaw koe a cei awh teh, kaimouh ni Pawl ka thei awh hoeh roukrak banghai ka cat a mahoeh, telah thoe ka kâbo awh toe.
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Hatdawkvah nangmouh hoi sanhedrin lawkcengkungnaw ni ahnie a kong kahawicalah pacei han na ngai awh e patetlah ka sak vaiteh nangmouh koe Pawl a hrawi awh thai nahan Rom ransabawi koe thaisak awh. Hi a pha hoehnahlan thei hanlah coungkacoelah ka o awh han, atipouh.
Now therefore you with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down to you to morrow, as though you would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 Hote kho a khangnae hah Pawl e tawncanu e a capa ni a thai navah thongim thung a kâen teh Pawl koe a dei pouh.
And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Hatnavah Pawl ni ransabawi buet touh a kaw teh, ransabawi koevah hete nawsai ni lawk dei hane a tawn dawkvah, ahni hah ransabawi kalen koe cetkhai haw atipouh.
Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he has a certain thing to tell him.
18 Ransabawi ni a ceikhai teh ransabawi kalen koe a thokhai. Thongkabawt e Pawl ni, kai hah na kaw teh, hete nawsai ni nang koe hrawi hanelah a kâhei. Ahni ni nang koe lawk dei hane ao atipouh.
So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and prayed me to bring this young man to you, who has something to say to you.
19 Ransabawi ni hote nawsai e kut a kuet pouh teh, aloukcalah a kaw teh, kai koe na dei hane lawk teh bangmaw atipouh.
Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that you have to tell me?
20 Hote nawsai ni, Judahnaw ni Pawl hah, hoe kamceng lah pacei hane boiboe lah a kâsak awh teh, tangtho vah sanhedrin lawkcengnae koe kaw hanelah nang koe kâhei hanelah a kâcai awh.
And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire you that you would bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 Hatei ahnimae lawk tang pouh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ahnimouh thung dawk tami 40 touh hlai ni arulah hoi Pawl hah a pawp awh. Pawl ka thei awh hoehroukrak ka catnet a mahoeh ati awh teh, thoe a kâbo awh. Atu patenghai coungkacoe lah ao awh teh, bawipa, nange lawk doeh a ring awh toe atipouh.
But do not you yield to them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from you.
22 Ransabawi ni, hete kongnaw kai koe na dei e heh api koehai dei pouh hanh lah atipouh teh hote nawsai hah bout a ban sak.
So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See you tell no man that you have showed these things to me.
23 Hathnukkhu, ransabawi kalen e ni ransabawi kahni touh a kaw teh, Kaisarea cei hanelah ransa cumhni touh sut kârakueng awh. Hahoi marangransanaw 70 touh, tahroe ka patuem thai e cumhni touh hai kârakuengkhai awh nateh, atu tangmin suimilam tako nah kamthaw hanlah sut kârakueng awh.
And he called to him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 Pawl kâcui nahanelah marang sut hmoun pouh awh. Khobawi Felik koe kahawicalah phatkhai awh telah lawk a thui.
And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
25 Hathnukkhu ransabawi ni ca a thut teh telah a patawn.
And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Klaudias Lisias ni khobawi Felik koevah ca na patawn. Nang koevah hnâroumnae awmseh.
Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix sends greeting.
27 Judahnaw ni hete tami heh a man awh teh thei han toe ati awh navah, ahni teh Rom tami doeh tie ka panue toteh ransanaw hoi ka rungngang awh.
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 Yon a hnei awh e hah bangne tie panue han ka ngai dawkvah, sanhedrin lawkcengnae hmalah ka kaw navah,
And when I would have known the cause why they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 ahni teh amamae kâlawk hoi kâkuen e kamcan hoi yon a pen awh teh, duekhai kawi hoehpawiteh, thongim kamungkhai kawi yonnae a tawn tie ka hmawt hoeh.
Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 Hatei, Judah tami tangawn ni ahni thei hanelah a kâcai awh tie ka thai dawkvah nang koe karanglah ka thak. Yon kapen e naw hai nang na hmalah a dei awh nahanelah kâ ka poe toe.
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to you, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before you what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Hat toteh, ransabawi ni kâ a poe e patetlah Pawl hah Antipatris kho totouh karum vah a thak awh.
Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Atangtho teh marangransanaw ni pou a ceikhai awh. Alouknaw teh a ban awh.
On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Kaisarea totouh a ceikhai awh teh, khobawi koe, ca a poe awh teh, Pawl hai ama kut dawk a poe awh.
Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 Khobawi ni ca a touk teh Pawl teh nâ ram e maw telah a pacei. Cilicia dawk e doeh tie a panue hoi teh,
And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 na katoekungnaw a tho torei vah, nange lai teh na ceng pouh han telah a titeh, Pawl hah Herod siangpahrang im vah khoup ring awh telah ransanaw kâ a poe.
I will hear you, said he, when your accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
