Acts 24
1 Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
Chuin ninga jouvin gamvaipo henga Paul ahehset nauthu sei ding in thempu chungnung Ananias le Judate upa phabep chule Tertullus kiti minelkal them chu ahung lhung tauvin ahi.
2 When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
Chuin Paul chu ahin puilut uvin ahile Tertullus chun gamvaipo henga Paul hehna thu hitin ahin seitan ahi: “Nangma vaihom them nale nangma jal'a keiho Judate hi phat sottah lungmonga um kahiuve.”
3 In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
“O Lal chungnung, hiche ho jeh hin keiho kakipah lheh jeng uve.
4 But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
Ahin nangma kalungjin sah nompoi hijeh chun neilungset inlang phatchom chakhat neingai peh in tia kahung tao ahi.
5 We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
Hichepa hi phatseh a Judate umna jousea boina semjing kei mi ahi kamudoh un, chule thuhillhem Nazareth Yeshua chon a chon ho lamkai pipu ahi ti kamudoh uve.
6 and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
Chukit jongle kamat uva chu aman houin jong suhboh ding agot ahi.
Keihon keiho dan dungjuiya athu katan got u ahin, hinlah sepai jalamkai Lysias in thahat san'a kakhut uva kona ahung puidoh ahi.
8 By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
Kaheh nauhi nangma tah in dong lechun adih tah chu namat doh ding ahi,” atin ahi.
9 The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
Chuin Judah mi adangho jong chun Tertullus in asei jouse adih ahi atiuvin ahi.
10 When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
Chuin gamvaipo chun Paul jong thu asei sah in, chuin Paul in, “Pu, kum tamtah Judate chunga thutan'a hung pang nahi kahen, hijeh chun namasanga kipah tah in kakihonna thu seiying kate.
11 You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
Jerusalema Pathen hou dinga kahung lhun jouva pat ni somleni jong lhing loulai ahi hi nahetdoh jeng ding ahi.
12 Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
Eihehse hohin houin'a mitoh kakinel na jong amu naisai lou diu ahin, kikhopna in ahiloule khopi lamlhong lah'a boina kasem jong amukhah lou dingu ahi.
13 Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
Hiche mihon eihehset nau hi khat cha aphotchet na apeh thei lou dingu ahi.”
14 I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
Ahin hou dih lou lamkai ahi atiu vang chu kanom'e, ajeh chu kapu kapa teuvin ana hou Pathen chu kahou ahin, Judate dan le themgao lekhabua kisun jouse dih tah a katahsan ahi.
15 and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
Amaho kinep na banga keijong Pathen in nikhat le midih le midih lou ahin kaithou kit ding ahi tia kinem kahi.
16 In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
Hiche jeh a hi mijouse le Pathen anga dih tah a hinkho manding kagot jing ahi.
17 After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
Chuin kum tamtah jouvin kamite kithopina sum peding le Pathen koma kilhaina bolding in Jerusalema kahung kilen ahileh,
18 At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
Houin sunga kauma ka kisuhtheng chu eiheh se hon amuvin, hiche pet'a chu kavela mipi jong umlou ahin boina ima jong aumpon ahi.
19 who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
Ahin Asia gamsunga kona Judaho mi phabep umu ahi, chule amaho chu kei hehset na ding hola umjing'u ahi!
20 Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
Judate houvaipoloi hon kachunga ipi chonsetna amu-uham hiche miho hi dongin,
21 unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
Thilkhat bouseh “thokit thudol katahsan jeh a tunia na-angsung uva kachung thu kikhol ahi,” tia kasap tailou adang ima namu lou dingu ahi.
22 Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
Chuche tahsanna lampi thudol hethem tah ahitoh kilhon in, Felix chun phat asuh saobe in, “Vaipipo Lysias hung lhun kah in khongaiyun, ama ahung tengle nathuu ngaito chen nange,” ati.
23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
Chuin sepai jalamkai pa koma chun, “Paul chu songkul'a koiyun lang ahin aloi agol hon avila angaichat ho abolpeh thei nading un phalna peuvin,” ati.
24 After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
Nichomkhat jouvin Felix chu ajinu Juda numei Drusilla toh ahung kit in, chuin Paul chu aga kousah lhon in Paul in Yeshua Christa tahsan thudol asei chu angai lhon in ahi.
25 As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
Chuin Paul in Chondih nale eima chang kitimhat chule khonunga hung lhung ding thutanna thu asei ajah phat chun Felix chu ahung kicha tan, “Tun chen lang, phat gomkom aum teng le kahin koukit ding nahi,” tin asol doh tan ahi.
26 At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
Chujongle Paul chun sum eithimpeh khante tin, akou loi loi jin ahoupi jing jin ahi.
27 After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
Chutia kumni ache jouvin, Porcius Festus in Felix pan mun chu alotan, chule Felix in Judate lung ahol jeh chun Paul chu songkul'a akhum in adalhatan ahi.
