1 Úúts aawoniyere il kahni naasho Hanani eenash ikikuwotsnat T'ert'elusi eteef Nemo sheengshdek' dantsonton K'isari maants bíami, boowere dats k'eeziruwo Filiksok t'int P'awlosi bo s'aami,
And after five days, Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and [with] a certain orator [named] Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 P'awlosi s'eegdek't t'intsetsok'on T'ert'elus hank'o eton s'aamiyo dek't b́tuwi. «Shiimetso Filikso! niyatse tuwtson ay jeeno daatsrone, n sheeng k'eezonowere noashosh sheeng wonewo daatsere,
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done to this nation by thy providence,
3 Ayidek'at mangtso Filikso n k'alts sheeng keewan jamoke jam weeron een údone nodek'iri.
We accept [it] always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Andmó t ja'irawo k'awunon neesh t keewit keewo n doon noon nk'ebetuwok'o neen k'oniruwe,
Notwithstanding, that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldst of thy clemency hear us a few words.
5 Ashaan noosh gondshoodo wotwutsere, datsatse fa'a Ayhudi jamwotsats dimbiro b́tuuziri, noimnetiyatse k'aldek'ets naazrawiwotsi eteefwotsshowere boon jishirwooniye.
For we have found this a pestilent man, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring-leader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Ik' moonowere kimshosh bíetfere bín nodetsi, bíyats not'intsts s'aami jaman ar b́ wottsok'o nee ntookon bín aatr dano falitune.» ik ik bitsuwotsitsere han boyits dabfno [No nemok'on bíyats angsheyish gawurone b́teshi, Ernmó gin jishiruwo Lusyos waat angnon nookishotse fos'dek't bíami, bín s'aamirwotsu níyok boweetwok'o bíazazi]
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
But the chief captain Lysias came and with great violence took [him] out of our hands,
Commanding his accusers to come to thee: by examining whom, thou thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things of which we accuse him.
9 Ayhudiyots «Jam keewan aree» Etfetst s'amiyosh ik wotbowtsi.
And the Jews also assented, saying, that these things were so.
10 Dats k'eeziruwo Filiks b́kishon kolat P'awlos b́ keewitwok'owa bíeti, P'awlos hank'o ett bíaaniy. «Ay dúrosh datsan keewutso nwoto tdantsosh taan s'amiyets keewosh aani tdek'etuwok'o nshinaats tt'intsor ayidek'at geneeúwefetsatniye,
Then Paul, after the governor had beckoned to him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been for many years a judge to this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Ik' k'onosh Iyerusalem maants ti'amron tatse git aawoniyere b́bowok'o nee ntookon danofalfnee,
That thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
12 Ik'i mootse wotowa ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni mootse wee kitotse kontonuwor t mooshfere wee asho dimbirosh ttuuzfere taan daatsratsne,
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither exciting the people to sedition, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 And tiats bot'intsts s'amiyosh gawo b́jamon neesh t'intsosh falratsne.
Neither can they prove the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Ernmó han neesh kish kitso shunfee, bo kooti dana bo etiru imnetiyi kayo no nihotsko Izar Izeweri Ik'irwe, Muse nemonat Nebiyiwots mas'aafotse guut'ets jamo amanirwe.
But this I confess to thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 Bowere bojangirwok'o taawor kaawwotsnat morretsuwots k'irotse botuwitwok'o Ik'on jangirwe.
And have hope towards God, which they themselves also allow, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 Mansha Ik'onat ash shinatse nib s'ayino tdetsetuk'o jamaawo kup'irwe.
And in this I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense towards God, and [towards] men.
17 «Iyerusalemitsnowere tkeshiyak ay natuwots bobeshiyakon t jirwotssh tep'wotit gizonat Ik'osh imet mebi gizo dek'at tweyi.
Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 Ik'o mootsnowere taan daatstsuwots man tk'alfere, manoori gizeyonuwere s'ayini fino fin tk'rtsok'one, taantonuwere ay asho aaliye b́teshi, dimbironwere tuuratse.
Upon which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 Ernmó Isiyon waats ayhudiwots manoke fa'ane boteshi, bo taan bos'aamit keewo detsfno wotiyal nshinaats t'inr keewune.
Who ought to have been here before thee, and object if they had aught against me.
20 Haniyakonowere moosh mooshiyiruwots shinats tt'iinoor t t'afitso fa'ewotiyal t'ints ashaanots keewune.
Or else let these same [here] say, if they have found any evil-doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 Arikon bo taalotse need'dek'at ‹K'irtsuwots tuwo fa'e tiettsosh hambets angshosh it shinats t'inre› etaat een k'aaron keewure, haniyere okoon k'osho tk'alts keewo aaliye.»
Except it is for this one voice, that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 Filiksmó Krstiyani imnetiyi jango sheengshdek't b́dantsotse «Kes' azazefo Lusyos b́waatsok'on itjangosh angshituwe» ett boon deenb́k'ri.
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of [that] way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 P'awlosi kotiru bali naashoshowere «Ayide b́ kic'irawonat b́ jaguwotswere bish k'alo bogetso baziyerawon b́kotetuwok'wa» bí eti.
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let [him] have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister, or come to him.
24 Muk' aawwotsiyere hakon Filkis Dursili eteets b́mááts ayhudiyunton b́weyi, P'awlosnowere s'egiydek't Iyesus Krstos shútson amani jango b́keewufere b́shshi.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 P'awlos kááwu woti jangonat took kewdek'i jango weet angshonowere b́keewor Filiks shatt «And k'ayamee, taash b́k'anoor k'osh aawots neen s'eegituwe» bí eti.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, depart for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 Filiks P'awlosoke gubo dek'osh jangitniye b́tesh, mansh ayoto P'awlosi s'eegiyir b́keewifoni.
He hoped also that money would have been given him by Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 Git natoniyere okoon P'ork'iyos Fist'os Filikis shegro b́beyok b́beeyi, Filiks ayhudiwotsi geneúshosh geeyat P'awlosi b́ tipetsok'on k'azb́k'ri.
But after two years Porcius Festus came as successor to Felix: and Felix willing to show the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
