< Acts 23 >

1 Paul behelde the counsell and sayde: men and brethre I have lived in all good coscience before God vntill this daye.
Paul ing Sanhedrinkhqi ce toek khqi ceet ceet nawh, “Ka koeinaakhqi, tuhngawi dy awh kawpoek dyngnaak ing Khawsa bi ce bi nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
2 The hye prest Ananias comaunded the that stode by to smyte him on the mouth.
Ce ak awi ce ang zaak awh khawsoih boeikhyt Ananias ing Paul a venawh ak dyikhqi venawh Paul ce am kha awh vyk aham awi pehy.
3 Then sayde Paul to him: God smyte the thou payntyd wall. Sittest thou and iudgest me after the lawe: and commaundest me to be smytten contrary to the lawe?
Cawh Paul ing, “Nang ak baawkna amik thuut vawng, Khawsa ing namah ni vyk kaw! Anaa awi amyihna kai awideng aham cawh ngawi hyk ti, cehlai namah ing kai vyk aham awi pe tiksaw anaa awi ce hqe nawn hyk ti! tina hy.
4 And they that stode by sayde: revylest thou Goddes hye preste?
Paul a venawh ak dyikhqi ing, “Khawsa a khawsoeih boei khyt awm na zyih hy? tina uhy.
5 Then sayd Paul: I wist not brethren that he was the hye preste. For it is writte thou shalt not curse the rular of thy people.
Paul ing, “Koeinaakhqi, anih ve khawsoeih boei khyt tinawh am ka sim dawngawh ni; ‘Nak thlangkhqi ak ukkung ce awih che ing koeh zyi,’ tinawh a qee awm zawk hy,” tinak khqi hy.
6 When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged.
Cawhkaw amik awmkhqi ak khuiawh thlang vang taw Sadusikhqi na awm nawh, thlang vang taw Farasikhqi na awm uhy, tice Paul ing a huh awh, cawhkaw Sanhedrinkhqi venawh, “Koeinaa khqi, kai ve Farasi capa na ka awm dawngawh Farasi na awm nyng. Thlakthi thawh tlaih ngaih-uunaak ka taak dawngawh tuh awidengnaak hun awh dyi nyng,” tinak khqi hy.
7 And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided.
Ce ak awi ce ak kqawn awh, Farasikhqi ingkaw Sadusikhqi ce oelh qu unawh, pakkhih na pek qu uhy.
8 For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.
(Sasusikhqi ingtaw, thlakthi thawh tlaihnaak am awm hy, khan ceityih awm am awm nawh myihla awm am awm hy, ti uhy, cehlai Farasikhqi ingtaw vemyihkhqi boeih ve awm hy, ti uhy.)
9 And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.
Cawh a mimah ce hqo unawh, a mingmih anglak awhkaw anaa awi ak qeekung Farasi thlang vang ce dyi unawh oelh uhy. Cekkhqi ing, “Ve ak thlang awh ve a thawlhnaak ikaw awm am awm hy. Myihla ing nu khan ceityih ing nu awi ak kqawn peek mai mantaw ikawmyihna ni ti hly?” ti uhy.
10 And when ther arose greate debate the captayne fearynge lest Paul shuld have bene pluckt asondre of them comaunded the soudiers to goo doune and to take him from amonge them and to bringe him into the castle.
A ming oelh qu khqoet khqoet awh qaalboei ing Paul khqaak kawm uh a ti awh, qalkapkhqi ce tyi khqi nawh Paul ce a mingmih a venawh kawng qalkapkhqi awmnaak na lawh sak khqi hy.
11 The nyght folowyng God stode by him and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare witnes at Rome.
Khawmthan awh Bawipa ing Paul a venawh dang pe nawh, “Nam thin cak sak! Jerusalem khawk khuiawh kai akawng nang dyih pyi amyih na, Rom awh awm kai ve ning dyih pyi hly bai hyk ti,” tina hy.
12 When daye was come certayne of the Iewes gaddered them selves to geder and made a vowe sayinge that they wolde nether eate nor drinke till they had killed Paul.
A khawngawi mymcang awh Paul him hlan dy taw buh a an ama ai aham Juda thlangkhqi ing awi kam uhy.
13 They were aboute. xl. which had made this conspiracio.
Vemyihna Paul him aham ak tengkhqi ce thlang phlikip hlai law uhy.
14 And they cam to ye chefe prestes and elders and sayde: we have boude oure selves with a vowe that we will eate nothinge vntill we have slayne Paul.
Cekkhqi ing khawsoeih boeikhqi ingkaw a hqamcakhqi venna cet unawh, “Paul am ka mi him hlan dy taw buh an am kami ai aham awi kam unyng.
15 Now therfore geve ye knowlege to the vpper captayne and to the counsell that he bringe him forth vnto vs to morow as though we wolde knowe some thinge more perfectly of him. But we (or ever he come neare) are redy in ye meane season to kill him.
Cedawngawh tuh nangmih ingkaw Sanhedrinkhqi ing ve akawng ve ak caih na sim thainaak aham anih ce nangmih a venawh ami tyih law tlaihnaak aham qaalboei a venawh thoeh uh. Cawh ve a pha law hlan awh lam lakawh kaimih ing him vang unyng,” tinak khqi uhy.
16 When Pauls sisters sonne hearde of their layinge awayte he wet and entred into the castle and tolde Paul.
Cehlai cawhkaw awi ce Paul a koeinanu a capa ing za nawh, qalkapkhqi awmnaak na a ceh awh Paul a venawh kqawn pehy.
17 And Paul called one of ye vnder captaynes vnto him and sayde: bringe this younge man vnto ye hye captayne: for he hath a certayne thinge to shewe him.
Cedawngawh Paul ing qalkap zakhat ak ukkung thlang pynoet ce khy nawh, “Vawhkaw cadawng ve qaalboei a venna ceh pyi lah; awi pynoet kqawn peek aham ngaih hy,” tina hy.
18 And he toke him and sayd: Paul ye presoner called me vnto him and prayed me to brige this youge ma vnto ye which hath a certayne matter to shewe ye.
Cedawngawh anih ing ce ceh pyi hy. Qalkap ukkung ing, “Thawngim ak tla Paul ing vawhkaw cadawng ve na venawh awi kqawn aham a ngaih dawngawh ceh pyi tinawh law pyi nyng,” tina hy.
19 The hye captayne toke him by the hond and wet a parte with him out of the waye: and axed him: what hast thou to saye vnto me?
Qaalboei ing cadawng ca ce a kut awh tu nawh ak chang na sawi nawh doet hy, “Kawmyih ak awi nu kqawn aham na ngaih?” tina hy.
20 And he sayd: the Iewes are determined to desyre the yt thou woldest brynge forth Paul to morowe into the counsell as though they wolde enquyre somwhat of him more parfectly.
Anih ing, “Khawngawi awh Judakhqi ing Paul ve Sanherdrin haiawh awi ak caih na doet aham tina unawh nang a ven awhkawng thoeh u sih, tinawh awi kqawn hawh uhy.
21 But folowe not their mindes: for ther lyein wayte for him of the moo then. xl. men which have boude the selves wt a vowe that they will nether eate ner drinke till they have killed him. And now are they redy and loke for thy promes.
Cekkhqi venawh Paul ve koeh tyih pek khqi, ikawtih thlang phlikip hlai ing lam awh mah uhy. Paul a mami him hlan dy taw buh am ai aham awi kam hawh uhy. Tuh nang ak awi ni ami lamtoen hawh,” tina hy.
22 The vpper captayne let ye yoge man departe and charged: se thou tell it out to no man that thou hast shewed these thinges to me.
Qaalboei ing cawhkaw cadawng ca ce a ceh sak coeng awh, “Ve ak awi nak kqawn law ve u a venawh awm koeh kqawn moe,” tina hy.
23 And he called vnto him two vnder captaynes sayinge: make redy two hondred soudiers to goo to Cesarea and horsmen threscore and ten and speare men two houndred at the thyrde houre of the nyght.
Anih ing qalkap zakhat ak ukkung pakkhih ce khy nawh, “Qalkap zanhih ingkaw, meqang awh ak ngawi thlang khqihkip ingkaw cai ak pawm thlang zanhih ce tawh khawthan khawnoek pakow awh Kaiserea na ceh aham a oepchoeh cana ta lah.
24 And delyvre them beastes that they maye put Paul on and bringe him safe vnto Felix the hye debite
Qam ukkung Felix a venawh ak cym cana pha thainaak aham Paul ang ngawihnaak aham meqang ce hoep pe uh,” tina hy.
25 and wrote a letter in this maner.
Ak kai awhkaw amyihna ca qee pehy:
26 Claudius Lisias vnto ye most mighty rular Felix sendeth gretinges.
Klaudias Lisias ing, Qam uk boei ak leek khyt Felix a venawh, “Kut ni tlaih nyng.
27 This man was take of the Iewes and shuld have bene killed of them. Then cam I with soudiers and rescued him and perceaved that he was a Romayne.
Ve ak thlang ve Judakhqi ing tu unawh him u sih ami ti awh, Rom thlang ni tice ka sim dawngawh, kai ing qalkapkhqi mi cet nawh hul nyng.
28 And when I wolde have knowen the cause wherfore they accused him I brought him forth into their cousell.
Ikawtih thawlh amak puk hy voei tice sim aham ka ngaih dawngawh a mimah a Semhedrin a haiawh dyih sak nyng.
29 There perceaved I yt he was accused of questios of their lawe: but was not giltye of eny thinge worthy of deeth or of bondes.
Cawhkaw thawlh amik puknaak ce a mimah a anaa awi ben ni tice sim nyng, cedawngawh thawng thlak aham ingkaw thih hly kawi dyna a thawlhnaak am awm hy, tinawh hu nyng.
30 Afterwarde when it was shewed me how that ye Iewes layde wayte for ye man I sent him strayght waye to the and gave commaundmet to his accusars yf they had ought agaynst him to tell it vnto ye: fare well.

31 Then ye soudiers as it was comaunded the toke Paul and brought him by nyght to Antipatras.
Cedawngawh qalkapkhqi ing, awipeeknaak amyihna, khawmthan awh Paul ce Antipatris dyna ceh pyi uhy.
32 On the morowe they lefte horsmen to goo with him and returned vnto the castle.
A khawngawi awh meqang awh ak ngawikhqi mi Paul ce ami ceh sak haih awh, a mimah taw qalkap a awmnaak im na hlat tlaih uhy.
33 Which when they cam to Cesarea they delivered the epistle to the debite and presented Paul before him.
Meqang awh amik ngawikhqi ce Kaiserea khaw ami pha awh, qam uk boei venawh ca ce pe unawh, Paul ce ap uhy.
34 When the debite had redde the letter he axed of what countre he was and when he vnderstode that he was of Cicill
Qam uk boei ing ca ce a noet coengawh han benna kaw thlang hy voei nu tice doet hy. Kilikia qam awhkaw thlang ni, tice a sim awh,
35 I will heare the (sayde he) whe thyne accusars are come also: and commaunded him to be kepte in Herodes pallys.
