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 with certain elders, and a certain orator Tertyllus, came down, who appeared before 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 he having been called, Tertyllus began to accuse him, saying,
3 nani nin godo udya tikpana vat nin nimon ilenge na usu, Felix uniti udindya.
Receiving great peace through thee, and prosperity accruing to this nation through thy wisdom, we receive with all gratitude, both always, and everywhere, O most noble Felix.
4 Bara na ayedi in yissafi kang ba, indin potufi acara, lanzai baat nin kunene.
But in order that I may not weary you excessively, I exhort you to hear us patiently according to your clemency.
5 Bara tikpaghe nin kulapin tizu na Yahudawa vat nanya nyii inari uduka. Amere udya nanan dortu kunan Nazeret.
For having found this man pestilential, and stirring up seditions to all the Jews who are throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Amani mala uti kutii inlira kudyawe facak; unare tinani kpaghe.
who also endeavored to pollute the temple: whom we indeed arrested,
7 Amma ugo likume Lisiyas wa dak, a da kpalkinghe nin likara na cara bite.
8 Asa utiro Bulusku kitenen tipinpin tone, fewang manin yinnu imon irika na tidin bellu litime.”
with whom you yourself, having made inquiry, are able to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him.
9 A Yahudawe ligowe vat joro Bulus iworo, uliru ulele kidegenghari.
And the Jews were consenting, saying, Truly these things are 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.
And Paul responded, the governor beckoning to him to speak; Knowing you to be a judge to this nation from many years, I cheerfully apologize as to the things concerning myself:
11 Use uyinnu in woro na isa kata ayiri likure nin naba ba nin duning u'Urushalima indi su usujada;
you being able to know, that there are not more than twelve days to me since I came 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;
Neither did they find me in the temple disputing with any one, or causing an excitement of the multitude, neither in the synagogues, nor throughout the city:
13 tutung na inung wasa durofi ulire na idin vuszi mung ba nene.
neither are they able to prove before you the things which they are now accusing 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 I confess this to you, that according to the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers, believing all things which have been 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;
having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is going to be a resurrection, 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.
In this I also exercise, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17 Nene kimalin katu nakus gbardan inna dak nin bunnu udya a ufillu nikubu bara anit ning.
And after many years I came to do alms and offerings to my race;
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.
in which they found me having been purified in the temple, not with rabble, nor with an uproar; and were certain Jews from Asia,
19 Ale anite na idin bunfe, na ibellin imon irika na idumun kibinayi ninmi, adi idimun nimonimon.
whom it behooves to be present before me, and accuse me, if they should have anything against me.
20 Sa na anit alele bellin utanu ule na inasei mun kubi ko nq nwq yissin kudaru na Yahudawe;
Or let them tell what injustice they found, while I was standing before the sanhedrim,
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 concerning this one voice, which I cried out standing in their midst, that concerning the resurrection of the dead I am judged before 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 Felix having learned more thoroughly the things concerning the way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch may come down, I will diagnose the things appertaining to you:
23 Anin woro kusoje asu ucaa in Bulus, tutung na awayita gangang ba, yenje awa nazu adondon me nin bunghe sa uda lissughe.
having commanded the centurion to keep him, and let him have liberty, and prohibit no one of his friends from ministering unto 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 day, Felix with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, coming, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith which is towards Christ Jesus.
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 he reasoning concerning righteousness and temperance and the coming judgment, Felix, being alarmed, responded, Go thy way for this time; and having received an opportunity, I will call for thee:
26 Kubi kurum kone, awadin su Bulus ma ninghe ikurfu, unare asa to idak ninghe anin lira ninghe.
at the same time also hoping that money will be given to him by Paul; therefore indeed the more frequently sending for him, he conversed 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 two years having passed away Felix received Porcius Festus as his successor: and Felix, wishing to confer on the Jews a favor, left Paul bound.
