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.
Paul el ngetang suiya Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh ac fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk! Nga pulakin sik lah nga kulansupu God ke inse pwaye in moul luk nwe misenge.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Mwet Tol Fulat Ananias el sap mwet ma tu apkuran nu yorol Paul ah in sringilya oalul.
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?
Paul el fahk nu sel, “Pwayena lah God El ac fah sringilkomi — kom orun luku! Kom muta insacn nununkeyu ke Ma Sap, sruk kom kunausla Ma Sap ke kom sap elos in sringilyu uh!”
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
Mwet ma tu apkuran nu sel Paul ah fahk nu sel, “Kom aklusrongtenye Mwet Tol Fulat lun God!”
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.
Paul el fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk, nga tiana akilen mu el Mwet Tol Fulat. Ma Simusla uh fahk mu, ‘Kom fah tia fahk kutena kas koluk ke mwet kol lun mwet lowos uh.’”
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.
Ke Paul el akilen lah kutu selos mwet Sadducee ac kutu mwet Pharisee, na el wowoyak ye mutun Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat ac fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk! Nga sie mwet Pharisee, wen nutin mwet Pharisee. Nununkeyuk nga inge ke sripen finsrak se ma oan yuruk lah mwet misa uh ac sifil moulyak!”
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Pacl se na el fahkla ma se inge ah, na mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee mutawauk in akukuin, ac u sac nunak luoelik. (
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Tuh mwet Sadducee elos fahk mu mwet misa uh ac tia sifil moulyak liki misa, ac elos fahk pac mu wangin lipufan ku ngun, a mwet Pharisee elos lulalfongi ke ma tolu inge kewa.)
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?
Pusren akukuin uh yokelik na, ac kutu mwet luti Ma Sap uh su mwet Pharisee elos tuyak ac liksrenina lain ac fahk, “Kut tia konauk kutena ma sutuu lun mwet se inge! Sahp acnu pwaye lah ngun se, ku lipufan se, kaskas nu sel!”
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.
Akukuin sac arulana upala, oru leum se lun mwet mweun uh sensenak lah ac eiyuki manol Paul. Ouinge el sap mwet mweun lal uh in oatui ac eisalla Paul liki inmasrlon u sac, ac usalla nu inkul lalos uh.
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.
In fong sac, Leum el tu siskal Paul ac fahk nu sel, “Kom in pulaik na! Kom fahkyuyak tari in acn Jerusalem, ac kom ac fah oru oapana in acn Rome.”
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.
In lotu tok ah, oasr kutu mwet Jew fahsreni nu sie ac orek pwapa. Elos wulela na ku mu elos ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma nwe ke na elos unilya Paul.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
Pus liki mwet angngaul pa oru pwapa se inge.
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.
Na elos som nu yurin mwet tol fulat ac un mwet matu ac fahk, “Kut orala tari wulela na ku lasr mu kut ac tiana kang kutena ma nwe ke na kut unilya Paul.
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.
Ke ma inge, kowos ac Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh in sapla nu sin leum lun mwet mweun Rome, ac fahk elan eisalu Paul nu yuruwos. Oru acnu mu kowos srakna enenu in etu kutu ma sel. A kut ac akola kut in unilya meet liki el sun acn inge.”
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.
Tusruktu wen se nutin mutan se wial Paul lohngak pwapa kutasrik se inge, na el som nu inkul sin mwet mweun uh ac fahkang nu sel Paul.
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.
Na Paul el pangonma sie mwet kol lun mwet mweun uh ac fahk nu sel, “Eis mwet fusr se inge nu yurin leum fulat lun un mwet mweun uh. Oasr ma se el ke fahk nu sel.”
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.
Mwet leum sac eisal, pwanulla nu yurin leum fulat sac ac fahk, “Paul, mwet kapir sac, el pangonyu ac siyuk nga in pwanma mwet fusr se inge nu yurum, mweyen oasr ma el ke fahk nu sum.”
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?
Leum fulat sac sruokya paol, ac pwanulla nu saya ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom ke fahk nu sik uh?”
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.
Ac mukul fusr sac fahk, “Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos insesela in siyuk sum lutu kom in usalla Paul nu yurin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat, na elos ac oru acnu mu srakna oasr ma elos ke etu kacl Paul.
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.
Tusruktu nimet lohngolos, mweyen pus liki mwet angngaul wikwik soanel. Elos fulahk mu elos ac tia mongo ku nim nwe ke na elos unilya. Elos akola tari, tuh elos soano lah mea ac wotla sum.”
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.
Leum fulat sac fahk, “Nimet kom fahk nu sin kutena mwet lah kom fahk ma inge nu sik.” Na el supwalla mwet fusr sac in som.
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:
Na leum fulat sac solama luo sin mwet leum lun solse lal ac fahk, “Akoela luofoko mwet mweun an in som nu Caesarea, wi mwet kasrusr fin horse itngoul ac mwet utuk osra in mweun luofoko, ac mukuiyak ke ao eu ofong.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Akoela kutu horse an Paul elan kasrusr fac, ac liyalang akwoye nwe ke na el sonol Governor Felix.”
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:
Na leum sac simusla leta se, fahk ouinge:
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
“Claudius Lysias, nu sel Governor Fulat Felix: Paing kom.
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:
Mwet Jew elos sruokya mwet se inge ac akola in unilya. Nga lohngak lah el mwet Rome, pa nga us mwet mweun luk som, ac molella.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
Nga tuh kena etu lah mea elos tukakunul kac uh, ouinge nga usalla nu yurin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat lalos.
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.
Nga konauk lah wangin ma el oru ma ac fal elan misa ku kapir kac. Ma elos nununkal kac uh ma na nu ke kusen siyuk ke ma sap lalos sifacna.
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.
Ac ke nga lohngak lah oasr kutu mwet Jew pwapa sulallal lainul, in pacl sacna nga wotela mu nga in supwalot nu yurum. Nga fahk nu sin mwet ma nununkal uh in oru tukak lalos uh ye motom.”
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
Mwet mweun uh oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu selos uh. Elos eisal Paul ac usalla in fong sac nwe sun acn Antipatris.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
In len tok ah mwet mweun ma fahsr elos folokla nu yen selos, na mwet kasrusr ke horse uh welul na Paul som.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
Elos usalla na nwe Caesarea, ac sang leta sac nu sel Governor, ac eisalang pac Paul nu sel.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
Governor el ritela leta sac ac siyuk sel Paul lah el mwet ya. Ke el konauk lah el mwet Cilicia,
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
el fahk, “Nga fah oru lohngyuk keim ke pacl mwet ma tukakin kom uh sun acn inge.” Na el sap mwet topang in taranul Paul ke inkul lal Governor uh.
