Acts 23
1 And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
| ܘܟܕ ܚܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܒܟܠ ܬܐܪܬܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܐܬܕܒܪܬ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܡܢܐ |
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
| ܘܚܢܢܝܐ ܟܗܢܐ ܦܩܕ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܓܒܗ ܕܢܡܚܘܢܗ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܥܠ ܦܘܡܗ |
3 Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
| ܘܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܢܡܚܝܟ ܐܤܬܐ ܡܚܘܪܬܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܝܬܒ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܢ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܢܡܘܤܐ ܟܕ ܥܒܪ ܐܢܬ ܥܠ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܢܡܚܘܢܢܝ |
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
| ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܟܗܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܨܚܐ ܐܢܬ |
5 And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܐܚܝ ܕܟܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܟܬܝܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܪܫܐ ܕܥܡܟ ܠܐ ܬܠܘܛ |
6 And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
| ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܡܢܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܕܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܘܡܢܗ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܐܢܐ ܒܪ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܥܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܕܩܝܡܬܐ ܕܡܝܬܐ ܡܬܕܝܢ ܐܢܐ |
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
| ܘܟܕ ܗܕܐ ܐܡܪ ܢܦܠܘ ܚܕ ܒܚܕ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܘܐܬܦܠܓ ܥܡܐ |
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
| ܙܕܘܩܝܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܝܬ ܩܝܡܬܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܘܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܒܟܠܗܝܢ |
9 And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
| ܘܗܘܐ ܩܠܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܩܡܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܡܢ ܓܒܐ ܕܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܢܨܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܒܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܐܘ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܒܗܕܐ |
10 And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܫܓܘܫܝܐ ܪܒܐ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ ܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܦܫܚܘܢܗ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܫܠܚ ܠܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܢܚܛܦܘܢܗ ܡܢ ܡܨܥܬܗܘܢ ܘܢܥܠܘܢܗ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ |
11 And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܠܝܐ ܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܚܝܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܝܟ ܕܐܤܗܕܬ ܥܠܝ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܐܢܬ ܕܐܦ ܒܪܗܘܡܐ ܬܤܗܕ |
12 And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
| ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܚܪܡܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܬܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܗ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ |
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
| ܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܩܝܡܘ ܒܡܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܩܝܡܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ |
14 Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
| ܘܐܬܩܪܒܘ ܠܘܬ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܠܘܬ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܚܪܡܐ ܐܚܪܡܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܢܛܥܡ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܩܛܘܠ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ |
15 Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
| ܘܗܫܐ ܒܥܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܪܫܐ ܕܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܕܢܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܒܨܘܢ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܤܘܥܪܢܗ ܘܚܢܢ ܡܛܝܒܝܢܢ ܕܢܩܛܠܝܘܗܝ ܥܕܠܐ ܢܡܛܐ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ |
16 Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
| ܘܫܡܥ ܗܘܐ ܒܪ ܚܬܗ ܕܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܦܪܤܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ ܘܒܕܩ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ |
17 And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
| ܘܫܕܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܩܪܐ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܘܒܠ ܠܥܠܝܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܗ |
18 And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
| ܘܕܒܪܗ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܠܥܠܝܡܐ ܘܐܥܠܗ ܠܘܬ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܩܪܢܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܡܢܝ ܕܐܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܠܘܬܟ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܐܡܪ ܠܟ |
19 And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
| ܘܐܚܕܗ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܠܥܠܝܡܐ ܘܢܓܕܗ ܠܚܕ ܓܒܐ ܘܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܕܬܐܡܪ ܠܝ |
20 And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܕܢܒܥܘܢ ܡܢܟ ܕܬܚܬ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܚܪ ܠܟܢܫܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܨܒܝܢ ܡܕܡ ܝܬܝܪ ܕܢܐܠܦܘܢ ܡܢܗ |
21 But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
| ܐܢܬ ܗܟܝܠ ܠܐ ܬܬܛܦܝܤ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܓܒܪܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܛܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܒܟܡܐܢܐ ܘܐܚܪܡܘ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܟܠܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܬܘܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܗ ܘܗܐ ܡܛܝܒܝܢ ܘܡܩܘܝܢ ܠܫܘܘܕܝܟ |
22 The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
| ܘܫܪܝܗܝ ܟܠܝܪܟܐ ܠܥܠܝܡܐ ܟܕ ܦܩܕܗ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܢܕܥ ܕܗܠܝܢ ܒܕܩܬ ܠܝ |
23 Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
| ܘܩܪܐ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܥܬܕܘ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܘܦܪܫܐ ܫܒܥܝܢ ܘܫܕܝܝ ܒܝܡܝܢܐ ܡܐܬܝܢ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܬ ܫܥܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ |
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
| ܛܝܒܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܒܥܝܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܪܟܒܘܢ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܢܦܠܛܘܢܗ ܠܘܬ ܦܝܠܟܤ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ |
25 (For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
| ܘܟܬܒ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܗܟܢܐ |
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
| ܠܘܤܝܘܤ ܠܦܝܠܟܤ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܢܨܝܚܐ ܫܠܡ |
27 This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
| ܠܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܚܕܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܗ ܘܩܡܬ ܐܢܐ ܥܡ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܘܦܪܩܬܗ ܟܕ ܝܠܦܬ ܕܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܗܘ |
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
| ܘܟܕ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܡܕܥ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܐܚܬܬܗ ܠܟܢܫܗܘܢ |
29 Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
| ܘܐܫܟܚܬ ܕܥܠ ܙܛܡܐ ܕܢܡܘܤܗܘܢ ܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܥܠܬܐ ܕܫܘܝܐ ܠܐܤܘܪܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ |
30 And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܒܕܩ ܠܝ ܢܟܠܐ ܒܟܡܐܢܐ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܚܕܐ ܫܕܪܬܗ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܦܩܕܬ ܠܩܛܓܪܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܐܬܘܢ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܥܡܗ ܩܕܡܝܟ ܗܘܝ ܚܠܝܡ |
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
| ܗܝܕܝܢ ܪܗܘܡܝܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܐܬܦܩܕܘ ܕܒܪܘܗܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܐܢܛܝܦܛܪܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ |
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
| ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܫܪܘ ܦܪܫܐ ܠܪܓܠܐ ܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܕܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܠܡܫܪܝܬܐ |
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
| ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܘܝܗܒܘ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܠܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘܗܝ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ |
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܐ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܡܫܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܘܦܪܟܝܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܘܟܕ ܝܠܦ ܕܡܢ ܩܝܠܝܩܝܐ |
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܩܛܓܪܢܝܟ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܛܪܘܢܗ ܒܦܪܛܘܪܝܢ ܕܗܪܘܕܤ |
