Acts 23
1 And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.
Polo den nuali bi cancannikpeliba taancianli ki yedi ba: N kpiiba n ye U Tienu nintuali leni yaa pali seedi n ŋani ŋali dinla.
2 But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.
Bi kopadicianba bado Ananiasa den yedi yaaba n nagi polo n pua o ñoabu.
3 Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And thou, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?
Polo den yedi o: U Tienu baa pua ŋa fini u balikalikaanpienu na. A ka u bujiakaanu ki baa jia n buudi nani li balimaama n bili maama, ki nan miidi li balimaama ŋan teni ke bi pua nni yeni.
4 And those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?
Yaaba n se li kani den yedi Polo: A sugidi bi kopadicianba bado yoo?
5 And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the ruler of thy people.
Polo den yedi: N kpiiba mii bi bani ke o tie bi kopadicianba bado. Li diani i diani nni ki yedi: Han da maadi a buolu yudaano po yaala n bia.
6 But Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, I am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: I am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.
Polo den bandi ke bi cancannikpeliba taancianli yeni siiga bine tie Sadusieninba, bine mo Falisienba. Lani o den kpaani li taanli yeni niinni ki yedi: N kpiiba n tie Falisieni n yaajanba mo den tie Falisieninba. Bi cuo nni ki baa bu leni nni kelima n sugini ke bi tinkpiba baa fii.
7 And when he had spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.
Wan den yedi yeni Falisieninba leni Sadusieninba den cili ki nia leni bi yaba, ke mi paadima den tieni li taancianli siiga.
8 For Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.
Sadusieninba maadi ke bi tinkpiba fiima ki ye, ki go maadi ke malekinba leni a cicila ki ye. Ama Falisieninba wan maadi ke lankuli ye.
9 And there was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel...
Ku fuugu den tieni boncianla. Libamaama bangikaaba bi tianba yaaba n tie Falisienba den fii ki nia leni u paalu ki yedi: Tii sua ke o joa ne pia tagili. Daalinba ciciliga yaaka malekoba n maadi leni o.
10 And a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.
Mi niama den biagidi ki pugidi ŋali ke a minteela yudanciamo den jie ke bi baa ti papadi polo. Lani yaa po o den waani a minteela ban jiidi ki kua li nitaanli siiga, ki cuo Polo ki ñani o ki kuani o li diepaali nni.
11 But the following night the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast testified the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so thou must bear witness at Rome also.
Yaa ñiagu n den ŋua o Diedo den cua ki sedi Polo kani ki yedi o: Paagi a pali naniŋan tieni npo seedi Jelusalema na maama, a go baa tieni npo Loma po moko tiladi.
12 And when it was day, the Jews, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill Paul.
Lan den fii ki fa, Jufinba den taani ki juogi, ki poli ke bi kan je, bi kan ño bi yaa kpa Polo.
13 And they were more than forty who had joined together in this oath;
Yaaba n den taani ki jagi ki bili yeni cie niba piina.
14 and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill Paul.
Bi den gedi bi kopadicianba yudanba leni bi nikpeliba kani ki yedi: Ti taani ki poli ke jiema kan kua ti ñoana nni kali ti kpa Polo.
15 Now therefore do ye with the council make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill him.
Lanwani, yin taani mani leni bi cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba, ki soani a minteela yudanciamo kani ki mia o ke wan cuani Polo yi kani nani yi bua ki bandi o maama fuuli ki pugini yeni. Tinba mo ti bogini ki baa kpa o hali ke o daa pundi yi kani.
16 But Paul's sister's son, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to Paul.
Ama Polo naataanpuoga bijua den gbadi ban jagi yaa jagibiadili ki gedi ki kua li diepaali ki waani Polo.
17 And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to him.
Polo den yini minteela kobiga yudanba siiga yendo, ki yedi o: ciani o jawaalo na yi yudanciamo kani kelima o pia mi maama ki baa waani o.
18 He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has something to say to thee.
Minteela kobiga yudaano den ciani o jawaalo yeni a minteela yudanciamo kani ki yedi o: Yaa kadibiga n yi Polo yini nni ki mia nni min ciani o jawaalo na a kani, kelima o pia mi maama ki baa waani a.
19 And the chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to me?
A minteela yudanciamo den cuo o jawaalo nuu ki piadi o ki buali o: a pia be maame ki baa waani nni?
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise concerning him.
O den yedi o: Jufinba juogi ki bili ke bi baa mia ŋa ŋan cuani Polo saala bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani nani bi bua ki buali o o maama fuuli ki pugini yeni.
21 Do not thou then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting the promise from thee.
Han da tuo bi miabu kelima yaa niba n cie piina wuoni ki bua ki bibi o. Bi poli ke jiema yaaka bonñokaala kan kua bi ñoana nni kali bi kpa o. Bi bogini ki ji gu ke fini n tuo bi po bi miabu bebe.
22 The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented these things to me.
O yudanciamo den tundi o jawaalo ke wan da maadi oba kuli wan cua ki waani o yaala, ki cabi o.
23 And having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for the third hour of the night.
Lani o den yini minteela kobiga yudanba bilie ki yedi ba: “Teni mani minteela kobilie leni tandanba piilele leni kpandanba kobilie n bogini, ke dinla u duanyogunu yaa pendi waamu yi baa gedi Sisale.
24 And [he ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,
Yin bogini mani yi taami Polo moko yaa po ki gedini o gufeneeli Felisi po leni laafia.”
25 having written a letter, couched in this form:
O den diani yaa tili n tie na:
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix, greeting.
“Mini Kiloda Lisiasa n fuondi a, fini ti yudaano gufeneeli Felisi.
27 This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], having learned that he was a Roman.
Jufinba den cuo o naa joa ki bua ki kpa o. N den cua leni a minteela ki ga o bi nuu nni kelima n den bani ke o tie Loma yua.
28 And desiring to know the charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
N den bua ki bandi boŋanla ban den kuliti o yaala yaa po ke n geni o bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani.
29 whom I found to be accused of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] worthy of death or of bonds.
N den sua ke ban kuli o yaala po hua bi balimaama, ama ke waa tieni yaala n pundi ban kpa o, baa ki kuani o li kadidieli nni.
30 But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]
Min den bandi ke Jufinba jagi opo li jagibiadili, n den jaligi ki soani o a kani, ki go waani yaaba n kuliti o, ban cuani ban kuliti o yaala po a kani U Tienu n waani ti tiyaba.”
31 The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered them, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris,
A minteela den tieni wan puogi ba yaala. Ku ñiagu yeni bi den taa Polo ki gedini o Antipatilisa dogu nni.
32 and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.
Lan den fii ki fa a taacenda den lebidi ki guani Jelusalema diepaali po, ke bi tandanba soagini Polo liiga.
33 And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.
Bi den pundi Sesale ki teni gufeneeli li tili yeni, ki go teni o Polo moko.
34 And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned that [he was] of Cilicia,
Gufeneeli n den cogi li tili, o den buali Polo n tie yaa diema yua. Wan den bandi ke o tie Silisi diema yua,
35 he said, I will hear thee fully when thine accusers also are arrived. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's praetorium.
o den yedi o: “Yaaba n kuliti a yaa cua, n baa songi a maama.” O den puogi a minteela ban yaa ji Polo Elodo dieciangu nni.
