< 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'n roijêkpungei hah a en ngita, “Ka champui Isrealngei aviensûn ten hin Pathien mâkunga sielesarietna diktak dônin ko tho rang ngei murdi ko hong tho ani,” a tia.

2 At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.

Ochai Inlaltak Ananias han, Paul kôma inding ngei kôm han Paul hah a bâikuo bên pe roi, a ti pe ngeia.

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.”

Paul'n a kôm, “Nangma, bang rusûk minchekpu Pathien'n nang bên atih, a tia. Mahan nên sunga Balam anga roijêk rangin nên sunga balam khêlin mi min bên rang ni ti mo!” a tipea.

4 But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”

Paul kôm inding ngei han, Paul kôm han “Pathien Ochai Inlaltak khom jâ loiin khoi ithomo no ngo,” an tia.

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'n “Ka champuingei Ochai Inlaltak ani ti ki riet loi sika kêng, Pathien lekhabu'n ‘Ni mi, roijêkpungei chunga chong saloi ni ti rang nimak ati,’” a tia.

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.”

Paul'n Sadduceengei senkhat, Pharisee ngei senkhat le anni ti a riet lechu, roijêkpungei lâia han inringtakin “Ka champui Isrealngei keima Pharisee ki ni, Pharisee nâipasal ki ni, keiman mithi inthoinôkna aom ti sabeina ko dôn sikin ma angtaka intakna ko om ani,” a ti pe ngeia.

7 As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

Maha a ti suole chu, Pharisee ngei le Sadduceengei bâiinkhamin pâl inikin an insena.

8 For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

(Sadduceengeiin chu mithi inthoinôkna reng om mak, vântîrtonngei, rathangei ommak, aniatachu Pharisee ngeiin chu anin thumin an iem sikin.)

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?”

Hanchu an iniek hah ânring uola, Pharisee tienga Balam minchupungei senkhat an indinga asân an makhala, “Hi miriem hih a tho minchâina khoite mu mak me, vântîrton le ratha'n a chongpui tatak khom nisenla khoimo asiet?” an tia.

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.

Hanchu asân an inkhal sikin Paul hah khêr nôinek ni ngei tiin râlmi ulientak han a chia, râlmingei hah lokongei lâia han juong sea, Paul hah hong tuonga kulpui sûng tieng tuong pai rangin chong a pêka.

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.”

Mani jân han Pumapa hah, Paul kôm a juon dinga, a kôm, “Chi no roh! Jerusalema ko chong ni min riet angdên han Rom khopuia khom ko chong la min riet nôk ni tih,” a tipea.

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.

Anangtûk jînga chu Juda senkhatngei an intûpkhôma, huongvâr an sina Paul an that mân chu ite sâkloi rang nêkloi rang tiin khomâk an insâma.

13 More than forty of them were involved in this plot.

Ma anga tho ngei hi mi sômminli nêkin an tama.

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.

Hanchu anni ngei hah ochaisingei le upangei kôm an sea, “Paul kin that mân chu ite sâkloi rang nêkloi rangin khomâk kin insâm ke ani zoi.

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.”

Masikin atûn hin, nangnin roijêkpungei le a roi asa uola jêk rang angin Paul hi nin kôm juong tuong rangin Rom râlmi ulientak kôm chong hong pêk roi, nin kôm a juong tung mân khom lei that rangin kin insiem suo ke ani zoi,” an tia.

16 But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

Hannirese ma thurchingei hah Paul a tupa'n a lei rieta, kulpui sûnga a va lûta, Paul a va rîla.

17 Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”

Hanchu Paul han râlmi razakhat ruoipu inkhat a koia, “Hi ruotharte hi râlmi ulientak kôm tuong roh, râlmi ulientak kôma chong khat ril rang a dôn,” a tipea.

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.”

Râlmi ulientakpu kôm a tuonga, “Intâng ina ompu Paul han mi koia hi ruotharte hi no kôm hong thak rangin mi tia, no kôm hin chong inkhat ril rang a dôn tiin chong mi be sa,” a tia.

19 The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”

Râlmi ulientak han a kut a sûra, mun ânkilna uola a tuonga “Imo mi ril rang no dôn,” tiin a rekela.

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.

Ama han, “Juda rachamneipungei Paul a roi hi adik uola jêk rang tiin nangtûka roijêkpungei kôma tuong rang minlêmin nang an hong zong rang ani.

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.”

Hannirese an chong lei don no roh, an lâia mi sômminli nêka tam uolin Paul an that mân chu ite sâkloi rang nêkloi rang tiin chong an inkhâm, atûn hin that rangin an insiem chak kêng ani zoi no chong vai ke an ngâk,” a tipea.

22 So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”

Râlmi ulientak han, “Hi thurchi hi ko kôma ni misîr pêna chu tute kôm misîr khâi no roh,” tiin chong a bea. Male ruotharte hah a min se zoi.

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.

Hanchu, “Râlmi razanik ruoipu inik a kôia, avien jân, dârkuo dôrin Caesarea se rangin râlmi razanik le, sakor chung chuong thei sômsari le isei a chôi râlmi razanik insiem roi,

24 Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”

Mapêna han Felix kôm a tung ngêt theina rangin, Paul a chuongna rang sakorngei khom mintuo pe sa rangin chong a be sa zoi.”

25 And he wrote the following letter:

Male Râlmi ulienpu han, hi anghin lekhamuthuon a mizieka.

26 Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.

“Claudius Lysias Râiôt jâ omtak Felix: chibai a pêk.

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,

Hi miriem hih Judangei an sûra, that rang an ti lâitakin ka râlmingei juong kêlsuo rangin ke sea, Rom mi ani ti ki riet sikin ko hong sanminjôka.

28 and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.

An nônna bi riet rang ku nuom sikin, an roijêkpungei kôm khom ku tuonga.

29 I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.

Anni an balama a lekti sikin an nôn pai ani ti ki rieta, hannirese thi rak rang dôr le intâng ina omna rang dôr ite minchâi mak.

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.

Male Judangei that rangin an pût tit ti min rîla, masikin no kôm ku juongtîr kelen ani. A nônpungei khom a thurchi misîr rang a nônpungei murdi chu no kôm hong misîr rangin chong ke pêk ngei,” a tia.

31 So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.

Hanchu râlmingeiin a chongpêk angin Paul hah an tuonga mani jân han Antipatris khuo an tungpuia.

32 The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.

Anangtûka chu râlmi kea se ngei hah chu rukulpui tieng an kîr nôka, sakor chunga chuong mingei vai hah Paul sepui tit rangin an oma.

33 When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.

Hanchu Caesarea an tuonga, Râiôt kôm lekha hah an pêka, male Paul ha khom a kuta an bang kelena.

34 The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,

Râiôt'n lekha hah a pore suole chu Paul omna ram a rekela, Cililia ram mi ani ti a riet lechu a kôm,

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.

“Nang nônpungei an juong tung lehan no roi hih keiman rangâi ki tih,” a tipea. Hanchu Paul hah râiôt omna munpuia han dara vêng bang rangin chong a pêk ngeia.
