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, came down the High-priest Ananias, with certain Elders and a certain orator Tertullus, and they informed 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, when he was called, Tertullus began to make accusation, saying—Seeing that, great peace, we are obtaining through thee, and that, reforms, are being brought about for this nation through thy forethought,
3 nani nin godo udya tikpana vat nin nimon ilenge na usu, Felix uniti udindya.
both in all ways and in all places, are we accepting it, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Bara na ayedi in yissafi kang ba, indin potufi acara, lanzai baat nin kunene.
But, lest I too long detain thee, I beseech thee to hear us concisely in thy considerateness.
5 Bara tikpaghe nin kulapin tizu na Yahudawa vat nanya nyii inari uduka. Amere udya nanan dortu kunan Nazeret.
For, finding this man a pest, and moving sedition with all the Jews that are throughout the inhabited earth, a leader also of the sect of the Nazarenes, —
6 Amani mala uti kutii inlira kudyawe facak; unare tinani kpaghe.
who also attempted to desecrate even, the temple, whom we also seized,
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.”
from whom thou shall be able, thyself, by making examination concerning all these things, to ascertain the things of which, we, are accusing him.
9 A Yahudawe ligowe vat joro Bulus iworo, uliru ulele kidegenghari.
Moreover, the Jews also were joining in the attack, saying that, these things, were, 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 answered, when the governor had motioned him to be speaking, —Well knowing thee to have been, for many years, judge unto his nation, cheerfully, as to the things concerning myself, do I make defence;
11 Use uyinnu in woro na isa kata ayiri likure nin naba ba nin duning u'Urushalima indi su usujada;
seeing thou art able to ascertain, that there are, not more, than twelve days, since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, —
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;
and neither, in the temple, found they me, with any one, disputing, or causing, a halt, of the multitude, either in the synagogues or throughout the city, —
13 tutung na inung wasa durofi ulire na idin vuszi mung ba nene.
neither can they make good the things concerning 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, unto thee, —That, according to the Way which they call a Sect, so, I am rendering divine service unto my father’s God, believing in all the things which, throughout the law, and those which, in the prophets, are written:
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, even these themselves, do entertain—that, a resurrection, there shall certainly be, both of righteous and of unrighteous:
16 tutung nanya nile imon, ndi katwa nwo in yitta nin kibinayin sali nalapi nbun Kutelle nin nanit nanyan vat nimon.
herein, even I, myself, am studying to have, an unoffending conscience, towards God and men, continually.
17 Nene kimalin katu nakus gbardan inna dak nin bunnu udya a ufillu nikubu bara anit ning.
Now, after many years, intending to do, alms, unto my nation, I arrived, —also [to present] offerings; among which they found me, purified in the temple, not with a multitude, nor with tumult;
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.
but certain Jews from Asia [caused it], —
19 Ale anite na idin bunfe, na ibellin imon irika na idumun kibinayi ninmi, adi idimun nimonimon.
who ought, before thee, to have presented themselves, and to have been laying accusation, if, anything, they might have had against me: —
20 Sa na anit alele bellin utanu ule na inasei mun kubi ko nq nwq yissin kudaru na Yahudawe;
Or, let, these themselves, say what wrong they found, when I stood before the High-council, —
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.'”
unless concerning this one voice, wherewith I cried aloud among them, as I stood—Concerning the raising of the dead, am, I, to be judged, this day, by you.
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 deferred them, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, —saying—As soon as, Lysias the captain, hath come down, I will give judgment as to your affairs, —
23 Anin woro kusoje asu ucaa in Bulus, tutung na awayita gangang ba, yenje awa nazu adondon me nin bunghe sa uda lissughe.
giving orders unto the centurion, that he should be kept, and have a measure of liberty, and to be hindering, none, of his own from waiting upon 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 days, Felix having arrived, with Drusilla his own wife, who was, a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith, respecting 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, as he was reasoning of righteousness, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix, becoming greatly afraid, answered—For the present, be going thy way, and, when I find an opportunity, I will send 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, would be given him by Paul; wherefore also, the more frequently sending for him, he used to converse 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.
When, however, two years, were completed, Felix, was succeeded, by Porcius Festus, and Felix, wishing to gain favour with the Jews, left Paul bound.
