Acts 23
1 Paul, looking sraight at the council, said, “Brothers, right up to now I have always conducted myself before God with a clear conscience.”
Bulus yenje vat anan kudare, aworo, “nuana ning, Nbun Kutelle, lissosin ninghe licinari udak kitimone.”
2 Ananias the high priest ordered the officers standing beside Paul to hit him on the mouth.
Hananiyas u Priest udya woro nale na iyissin kupo me iriughe nnu.
3 Paul said to him, “God will hit you, you whitewashed wall! You're sitting there to judge me according to the law, and you order me to be hit in contravention of the law!”
Bulus woroghe, “Kutelle ba riufi, fe liki longo naliyissin dert ba. Ussosin nene usui ushara nin duka, uminin ta iriyi nanya purun duka?”
4 The officers standing beside Paul said, “How dare you insult the high priest!”
Alenge na iwa yissin kupome woro, “Nenere udin zoguzung ndya na Priest Kutelle?”
5 “Brothers, I didn't know that he was the high priest,” Paul replied. “As Scriptures say, ‘You must not speak evil of any ruler of your people.’”
Bulus woro, “Na meng yiruba nuana, au ame udya na Priestari. Bara ina yertin, yenje iwa lira nanzang kitine nadidya nanit.”
6 When Paul realized that some of the council were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, he shouted out, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee! I'm on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead!”
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.”
7 When he said this, a tremendous argument broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees that split the council.
Na a belle nani, mayrdang fita kitik na Farisawa nin na Sandukiyawa, lisossinghe koso kidowo.
8 (The Sadducees say there is no resurrection from the dead, no angels, and no spirits, but Pharisees believe in all of these.)
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.
9 A great commotion erupted and some of the Pharisee teachers of the law stood up and argued fiercely, saying, “We find this man not guilty! Maybe a spirit spoke to him, or an angel!”
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?”
10 The argument was getting out of hand, so the commander, concerned that they would tear Paul to pieces, ordered the soldiers to go and rescue him from them by force, and take him back into the fortress.
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.
11 Afterwards, during the night, the Lord stood by Paul, and told him, “Keep up your courage! Just as you have given your testimony about me in Jerusalem, so you must be my witness in Rome as well.”
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.”
12 Next day some Jews plotted together, and they took an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
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.
13 Over forty were part of this conspiracy.
Anan nisilinghe wa katin anit akut anas.
14 They went to the chief priests and leaders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
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.
15 So you and the council should send word to the commander that he should bring Paul down to meet with you, as if you wanted to examine his case in more detail. We're ready to kill him along the way.”
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.”
16 But Paul's nephew (his sister's son) heard about their planned ambush, and he went into the fortress and told Paul about it.
Ama umong usaun gwanan Bulus kishono lanza nwo iyeshin nca, a nya adi Bellin Bulus ku.
17 Paul called over one of the centurions, and told him, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has some information to share with him.”
Bulus yiccilla umong nanya nasoje aworo, “Yira kwanyana kone udomun kitin dya nasoje, adi nin nimon ile na aba belunghe.”
18 So the centurion took Paul's nephew and brought him to the commander and told him, “The prisoner Paul called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
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.”
19 The commander took the young man by the hand and drew him aside. “What do you have to tell me?” he asked quietly.
Nasoje kifoghe ncara ado ninghe kusari kurum, anin tiringhe, “Inyanghari udi ninsu ubelli?”
20 “The Jews have arranged to ask you to bring Paul to the council tomorrow, as if they wanted to ask more detailed questions about his case,” he explained.
Kwanyane woro, “A Yahudawa yinna ima bellinfi udak nin Bulus nin kui kudaru mine, nafo ima tirinu iyinnin inyizari uliru me di.
21 “Please don't listen to them, because they have planned to ambush him with more than forty men who have taken an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him. They're ready right now, waiting for you to agree to the request.”
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.”
22 The commander sent the young man on his way, warning him, “Don't tell anyone that you've told me about this.”
Udya nasoje tunna asuna kwanyana anya, awunughe kutu, “Yenje uwa bellin umong ubelli ile imone.”
23 He summoned two centurions and told them, “Get two hundred soldiers ready to go to Caesarea, together with seventy cavalry-men and two hundred spearmen. Be ready to leave at nine p.m. tonight.
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.”
24 Provide horses for Paul to ride to make sure he gets to Governor Felix safely.”
Iba fitu nanya nikoro itat nin kitik. ata nani ipizuru kibarak kanga na Bulus ma ghanu ku, inin do ninghe kitin Felix ugumna mang.
25 He also wrote a letter that went like this:
Anin su iyerte nafo nenge:
26 “From Claudius Lysias to His Excellency Governor Felix, greetings!
“Lisiya udu kitin gumna udya Felix, indin lisufi.
27 This man was seized by the Jews and they were about to kill him, when I arrived on the scene with soldiers and rescued him, because I had found out he was a Roman citizen.
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.
28 I wanted to know the reason for their accusations, so I took him before their council.
In wa di ninsu inyinin inyaghari nta idin vurzughe uliiru, umini wa do ninghe nanya kudaru mine.
29 I found out the charges against him had to do with issues regarding their law, but he was not guilty of anything that merited death or imprisonment.
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.
30 When I discovered a plot against this man I sent him to you right away, ordering his accusers to make their complaints before you.”
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.”
31 So the soldiers followed their orders and took Paul overnight to Antipatris.
Asoje su kata nin duka ule na inanani: Iyauna Bulus ku idamun kitin Antipatiris.
32 The next morning they sent him on with the cavalry, and went back to the fortress.
Ukurtung kuye, ngbardang nasoje suna anan nibarke nya ninghe, inung tutung kpila kika na inuzu ku.
33 When the cavalry arrived at Caesarea they delivered the letter to the governor and brought Paul before him.
Na anan nibarake duru u'Siseriya, inakpa iyerte nacaran gumne umunu Bulus ku vat kitime.
34 After reading the letter, the governor asked Paul what province he came from. When he learned he was from Cilicia he told Paul,
Na u'Gumne belle iyerte ine, atirino Bulus nanuzu kusa komeri; na ayinno Bulus nanuzun Sisiliyari,
35 “I will investigate your case when your accusers arrive.” He ordered Paul detained in Herod's palace.
aworo, “In ma lanzu fi vat asa anan vursufe nda kikane.” Anin ta iceghe kudaru Hirudus.
