Acts 23
1 Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
Paul to nubo mwerume ri ki, minya yam kange kwam.
2 At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Nii dur wabero wo coti ki Ananiya ne nubo bikwan gwam ciya kwanice.
3 Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
Dila Paul yi co ki, “Kwama an kwanne mo nii bwir moyim namo mamen warke ki bolang ka, dila moki ciya kwaye ki kang wo kebo dong-dong kange bolang?”.
4 But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
Nubo tirangum wiyeu ki ye bwi mon torang nii dur nob waber kwama ro tiye?
5 “Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
Paul yiki, Yimi ma yombo miki nii dur, molangum molange ki, mani mwa tok bwirang kerti nii dur nubo lokume.
6 Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
La kambo Bulus nyomom kange win bwe Saduciyawa, la con tok kero ki luma wi ki, kebmibbo min nii Farisawa, bibwe farisawa kambo min cuiti na nyomom kwenka ceko tuwe wo man ma bolang cekeu.
7 As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
kambo ca tok nye ri, kwabkang ka bwi bwitici. Farisawa kange Sadukawa kange, mwerenkang kako wo.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
Sadukawa toki ki, Kwenka mani, bibei tomange mani, yuwatangbeko mani, La nii farisawa nyom gwam.
9 A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
Kwobkang kako kweni wi bwiti cii, la Farisawa ki ciya to bo dikero bwir fou nii wo nen. Ye a bwiti no yuwa tangbeko toker kange co kaka no Bibei tomangeceu toker kange cori.
10 The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.
Kambo kwobkang kako dur kweni tiber cereri, nii dur nob kwenebbo cwam tai ki kari ci wobrangum Bulus, ki fiti kang cek, la cin dok kwenebo na yira tou co ki bikwan tiber nob durembo na bou ki co fiye ca fiyam corka tiyeu.
11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
Kambo kume kange lauweri, kwama tii cungya cek toki ki, “cware tai cin cuwa nen firen Ursalima naweu. Mwan nii kange fou Roman.
12 When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
kambo fini celum ri, kangum yahudawa ma nero bwir laci nacin co dor ciyero nin chilka ki weri, naci chare kaka, ci no diker no ci twalum Bulus ri, nimde.
13 More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
Nubo cum kwini na'ar wo yi yimbo bwirko weu.
14 They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
La cin ya ni dur wabero nen kange nubo durko ki, Bin yo dorbero fiye chilka no ba twalbo Bulus diker mani wo ba matiye.
15 Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
Na weu bi yi Liya wabero na bou ki co fou bitine na bin fiya co ki dikero bwir ka ceri, cin ciya na twalum co.
16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
kambo bibwe hadace bwe bubiya nuwa na weri la ya yi Bulus ki,
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
“Bulus cho kange nii win na ya ki nii wo dur bero nen cin wi ki dike ca toktiye.
18 So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
Nii wo tim wiyeu tuu bwewo yaciko fiye dur nub wabero wiyeu ki Bulus wo fou mor furcina, cin yiki ki nyon bou ki co monen cin wiki dike ca toktiye.
19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
La nii dur nub waber tou co doken mor, la me co ki “Ye mon cuiti namon yi yere?”
20 He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
Bwewo yi ki, “Yahudawa ciya ki bouki Bulus fine fiye mwerkangka, cin cuiti na me co diker dor bolnag ceko nen.
21 Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
Dila necire cou, nubo wi cum kwini naar wo ci cwiti nacin twallum ceu. Cin yiyim bou wo ciki mani ciya chati, mani ciya noti, kambo ci twalum ceri nimde ci chachari. Bwen naweu, ciki bati ci ning tang diker mwa tok tiyeti.”
22 So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
La nii dur wabero yici ki kom manki kange diker wo ka yii nii wo tiyeu, nii wo yimco dikero gwam.
23 Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
La con cou nob bikwanebo yob ki, ciya cok nob bikwanebo bikwate yob nacin yaken ki co Caesarea, kange nub tuwabbo kwini niber, kange nubo bikate kwini yob, ciya kwenum ki kume taar rewo.
24 Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
Con yici ki ciya dou bicirdo wo Bulus a fuhtiye na yaken ki con loh kwarer.
25 And he wrote the following letter:
La con mulang bifumer nawo ki.
26 Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
Claudius Lysias kimo liyar kalero nen Felix, yarum nen ti.
27 This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
Nii wo Yahudawa tam co, la cin cuiti nacin twalum co. kambo bou cinen ki nub bikwaneb, la man cokceu. min yumom ciki no biten Romane.
28 and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
Min cuiti na yunmom diker wo ci tok ti dor cereu. La min ya ki con fiye mwerkang ka.
29 I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
Min nyom ci merang co kerti wo yilam na doka ceu. La cin manki diker wo yilam ciya twalum coti, ko ciya tung coti furcina.
30 When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
Di la cin yiye ciki, dikero bwirko wi wo ci cwiti na cin ma nii wo nineu, la dangjang min tung kenco monen min toki diker ci ficoti cikeu ciya bou ciko fiye mou wiyeu. Ya kwamer.
31 So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
La nob bikwanebo bwang ten diker cha tikeu. Cin bou ki Bulus ki bikume fou Antipatris.
32 The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
Kambo kume lauweri nub bkwanebo dubom nob tuwab bo kange cou. lan cin yilanken ce loh.
33 When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
Kambo nub tuwabbo lam Caesarea ri, cin nee takada wii liyar bitinenen, Cin neken ten Bulus cinen.
34 The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
Kambo liya bitine tou takada ri, Ye bouki Bulus feh? coki no biten Cilicia.
35 he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
Con yiki “Man nuwa nen gwam kambo nubo wo toker tidor mwereu bouri, Con toki ki, ciya yaken ki co kan Liya dur bitenero nen Hiridus firen wabkang ka.
