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.
Paulu tẹjúmọ́ ìgbìmọ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi, èmi tí ń fi gbogbo ẹ̀rí ọkàn rere lo ayé mi níwájú Ọlọ́run títí fi di òní yìí.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
Nígbà yìí ni Anania olórí àlùfáà pàṣẹ fún àwọn tí ó dúró tí Paulu pé, kí wọn ó gbá a lẹ́nu.
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?
Nígbà náà ni Paulu wí fún un pé, “Ọlọ́run yóò lù ọ́, ìwọ ògiri tí a kùn lẹ́fun: ìwọ jókòó láti dá mi lẹ́jọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ gan an rú òfin nípa pípàṣẹ pé kí a lù mí!”
4 And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
Àwọn tí ó dúró tì Paulu sì wí pé, “Ìwọ́ ń gan olórí àlùfáà Ọlọ́run?”
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.
Paulu sì dá wọn lóhùn pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi, èmi kò mọ̀ pé olórí àlùfáà ni: nítorí a tí kọ ọ́ pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sọ̀rọ̀ olórí àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ní búburú.’”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Paulu ṣàkíyèsí pé, apá kan wọn jẹ́ Sadusi, apá kan sì jẹ́ Farisi, ó kígbe ní ìgbìmọ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin arákùnrin mi, èmi jẹ́ Farisi, ọmọ Farisi sì ni èmi. Mo dúró ní ìdájọ́ nítorí ìrètí mi nínú àjíǹde òkú.”
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Nígbà tí ó sì tí wí èyí, ìyapa dé láàrín àwọn Farisi àti àwọn Sadusi: àjọ sì pín sì méjì.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Nítorí tí àwọn Sadusi wí pé, kò sì àjíǹde, tàbí angẹli, tàbí ẹ̀mí: ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Farisi jẹ́wọ́ méjèèjì.
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?
Ó sì di ariwo ńlá, nínú àwọn olùkọ́ òfin tí ó wà ni apá tí àwọn Farisi dìde, wọ́n ń jà, wí pé, “Àwa kò rí ohun búburú kan lára ọkùnrin yìí,” wọ́n wí “àwa kò sì mọ̀ nítòótọ́ bí angẹli kan tàbí ẹ̀mí kan ń ba à sọ̀rọ̀?”
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.
Nígbà tí ìyapa sì di ńlá, tí olórí ogun bẹ̀rù kí Paulu má ba à di fífàya lọ́wọ́ wọn, ó pàṣẹ pé ki àwọn ọmọ-ogun sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti fi ipá mú un kúrò láàrín wọn, kí wọn sì mú un wá sínú àgọ́ àwọn ológun.
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.
Ní òru ọjọ́ náà Olúwa dúró tì Paulu, ó wí pé, “Mú ọkàn le! Bí ìwọ ti jẹ́rìí fún mi ní Jerusalẹmu, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò lè ṣàìjẹ́rìí ni Romu pẹ̀lú.”
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.
Nígbà tí ilẹ̀ mọ́, àwọn Júù kan dìtẹ̀, wọ́n fi ara wọn bú pé, àwọn kì yóò jẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní àwọn kì yóò mú títí àwọn ó fi pa Paulu.
13 And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
Àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ yìí sì ju ogójì ènìyàn lọ.
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.
Wọ́n sì tọ olórí àwọn àlùfáà àti àwọn alàgbà lọ, wọn sì wí pé, “Àwa tí fi ara wa sínú ìdè ìbúra pé, a kì yóò tọ́ oúnjẹ kan wò títí àwa ó fi pa Paulu.
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.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí kí ẹ̀yin pẹ̀lú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ wí fún olórí ogun, kí ó mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ yín wá, bí ẹni pé ẹ̀yin ń fẹ́ wádìí ọ̀ràn rẹ̀ dájúdájú. Kí ó tó súnmọ́ tòsí, àwa ó ti múra láti pa á.”
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.
Nígbà tí ọmọ arábìnrin Paulu sí gbúròó ìdìtẹ̀ wọn, ó lọ, ó sì wọ inú àgọ́ àwọn ológun lọ, ó sì sọ fún Paulu.
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.
Paulu sì pé ọ̀kan nínú àwọn balógun ọ̀run sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó ní, “Mú ọmọkùnrin yìí tọ olórí ogun lọ, nítorí ó ní nǹkan láti sọ fún un.”
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.
Ó mú un, ó sì sìn ín lọ sọ́dọ̀ olórí ogun. Balógun ọ̀rún náà wí pé, “Paulu òǹdè pè mi sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó síbẹ̀ mí pé ki èmi mú ọmọkùnrin yìí tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ẹni tí ó ní nǹkan láti sọ fún ọ.”
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?
Alábojútó-ogun fà á lọ́wọ́, ó sì lọ si apá kan, ó sì bi í léèrè níkọ̀kọ̀ pé, “Kín ni ohun tí ìwọ ní sọ fún mi?”
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.
Ó sì wí pé, “Àwọn Júù fi ìmọ̀ ṣọ̀kan láti wá bẹ̀ ọ́, kí o mú Paulu sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ ní ọ̀la, bí ẹni pé àwọn ń fẹ́ béèrè nǹkan dájúdájú nípa rẹ̀.
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.
Nítorí náà má ṣe gbọ́ tiwọn, nítorí àwọn tí ó dènà dè é nínú wọn ju ogójì ọkùnrin lọ, tí wọ́n fi ara wọn bú pé, àwọn kì yóò jẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn kì yóò mu títí àwọn o fi pa á. Wọ́n sì ti múra tan nísinsin yìí, wọ́n ń retí ìdáhùn lọ́dọ̀ rẹ.”
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.
Nígbà náà ni olórí ogun fi ọmọ náà sílẹ̀ láti lọ, ó sí kìlọ̀ fún un pé, “Má ṣe wí fún ẹnìkan pé, ìwọ fi nǹkan wọ̀nyí hàn mi.”
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:
Ó sì pe méjì nínú àwọn balógun ọ̀run sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ múra igba ọmọ-ogun sílẹ̀, láti lọ sí Kesarea, àti àádọ́rin ẹlẹ́ṣin, àti igba ọlọ́kọ̀, ní wákàtí kẹta òru.
24 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Ó sì wí pé, kí wọn pèsè ẹṣin, kí wọ́n gbé Paulu gùn ún; kí wọ́n sì lè mú un dé ọ̀dọ̀ Feliksi baálẹ̀ ní àlàáfíà.”
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:
Ó sì kọ ìwé kan báyìí pé,
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
Kilaudiu Lisia, sí Feliksi baálẹ̀ ọlọ́lá jùlọ, àlàáfíà.
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:
Àwọn Júù mú ọkùnrin yìí, wọ́n sì ń pète láti pa á, nígbà náà ni mo dé pẹ̀lú ogun, mo sì gbà á lọ́wọ́ wọn nígbà tí mo gbọ́ pé ará Romu ni í ṣe.
28 And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
Nígbà tí mo sì ń fẹ́ mọ ìdí ọ̀ràn tí wọn fi ẹ̀sùn kàn án sí, mo mú un sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí àjọ ìgbìmọ̀ wọn.
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.
Ẹni tí mo rí pé, wọ́n fi sùn nítorí ọ̀ràn òfin wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò dá ọ̀ràn ohun kan tí ó tọ́ sí ikú àti sí ẹ̀wọ̀n.
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.
Nígbà tí a sì tí jí i sọ fún mi pé, wọn yóò dènà de ọkùnrin náà, mo rán an sí ọ lọ́gán, mo sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn olùfisùn rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, láti sọ ohun tí wọ́n bá rí wí sí i níwájú rẹ̀.
31 Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
Nígbà náà ni àwọn ọmọ-ogun gbe Paulu, wọ́n sì mú un lóru lọ si Antipatrisi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a tí pàṣẹ fún wọn.
32 And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì wọ́n sì fi àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin sílẹ̀ láti máa bá a lọ, àwọn sì padà wá sínú àgọ́ àwọn ológun.
33 Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé Kesarea, tí wọ́n sí fi ìwé fún baálẹ̀, wọ́n mú Paulu pẹ̀lú wá síwájú rẹ̀.
34 And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
Nígbà tí ó sì ti ka ìwé náà, ó béèrè pé agbègbè ìlú wo ni tirẹ̀. Nígbà tí ó sì gbọ́ pé ará Kilikia ni;
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
Ó wí pé, “Èmi yóò gbọ́ ẹjọ́ rẹ, nígbà tí àwọn olùfisùn rẹ pẹ̀lú bá dé.” Ó sì pàṣẹ pé kí wọn pa Paulu mọ́ ní abẹ́ àbojútó àwọn olùṣọ́ ní gbọ̀ngàn ìdájọ́ ààfin Herodu.
