Acts 23
1 Then Paul, looking intently at the council, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.”
Paul dopam lo doonv nyi vdwa kaagap chinchinla minto, “Ngoogv Israel ajin vdwa! ngoogv haang lo Pwknvyarnv gv lvkwng lo kvvlo lokv silu gobv mvngla tulwksula lamtv lo singduridunv si ribwngching bv mvngbwk la ridunv.
2 So the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike his mouth.
Nyibu butvyachok Ananias Paul gv nvchilo daknv vdwa ninyigv gaam nga nwknyato vla orto jito.
3 Then Paul said to him: “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you command me to be struck contrary to the law!”
Paulnyi minto, “Pwknvyarnv ya nam nwkyare! Tanyum gvriabo no! No hoka dootola nga Pvbv lo kaala minjinv, no bunua nga mvtokv vla orto jinv no vjak Pvbv nga mvyak yadunv!”
4 So those standing by said, “Do you reproach God's high priest?”
Paul gv nvchilo daknv nyi vdwv ninyia minto, “No Pwknvyarnv gv Nyibu Butvyachok am miyakayadu!”
5 Then Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”
Paul mirwkto, “Ngoogv Israel richam vdwv, Ngo ninyia Nyibu Butvyachok nvngv vla chima. Darwknv Kitap lo mindu, ‘Nonugv nyi vdwa rigvnvnga alvmanv gaam mima bvka.’”
6 Now when Paul perceived that one part were Pharisees and the other Sadducees, he called out in the council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of a Pharisee; I am being judged concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead!”
Vdwlo Paul Sadusis apam meegonyi okv Parisis kvgonyi kaapa tokudw, hv doopam lokv goklin toku, “Israel gv achiboru vdwa! Ngooka Parisis gvngv, Parisi gv kuu ngv. Nga si jwngkadaka duku ogulvgavbolo sinv ngv turkur dukunv vla mvngjwng kunam lvgalo!”
7 When he had said this, an argument started between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
Ninyia vjakpigobv svbv minda namgola, Parisis vla Sadusis ngv yalung durap minsu lakula okv apam lokv apinain sitoku. (
8 (Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel or spirit, but Pharisees confess both.)
Holvgabv Sadusis vdwv vbv minto sikunv nyi vdwv ho turkur kumare okv hoka ka nyidogindung vla okv dow go kaama dunv; vbvritola Parisis vdwv ho aom am mvngjwng nyadu.)
9 There was a great clamor, and the scribes of the Pharisee party stood up and started arguing vigorously, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man; but if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God!”
Gokyagokya kunamv gamtv yaya toku, okv Parisis lokv Pvbv tamsarnv meegonv daknya tokula okv achibv mintor nyadubv mintoku: “So nyi angv gvlo ngonu ogugoka lvkobv rimur namgo kaapama! Vbvritola dow vla nyidogindung ngv ninyia jvjvklvbv mimu rungdu ka nvpv!”
10 Well the dissension became such that the commander, fearing that Paul might be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and snatch him out of their midst and bring him into the barracks.
Larmi suku nvngv yalung duyak minsu nyatoku hokaku kamandar angv busu toku Paulnyi pamwk kuji mvngla. Vbvrikunamv ninyia orto jitoku ninyigv sipai vdwa apam bolo ila, Paulnyi bunugv lokv svvlinto okv hv sipai naam lo aagvto vtoku.
11 Now the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, Paul, because as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”
Ho ayu Paul gv dakku lo Ahtu dakming gvvto la minto, “Busu mabvkv! No ngo gvbv Jerusalem soka minkar jipv, okv Rom loka vbv dvdvbv rilaka.”
12 And when it was day, some of the Jews formed a conspiracy by binding themselves with a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they had destroyed Paul.
Arugunv nga Jius meegonv lvkobv kaarwk sila okv rungnamgo rungto. Bunu Paulnyi mvkima dvdvlo bunu dvnamtvngnam ogugoka dvku mare vla milv nyatoku.
13 Now there were more than forty who formed this plot.
Hoka champi lvyagobv doopam tvla lvkobv rungnyato.
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders and said: “We have bound ourselves with a terrible curse not to taste anything until we have killed Paul.
Vbvrikunamv bunu nyibu butv vdwlo okv nyigagatv vdwlo vngla minto, “Ngonuv lvkobv milv pvkunv ngonu Paulnyi mvkima dvdvlo oguka dvmare.
15 Now you, therefore, together with the council, explain to the commander that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you are going to determine more accurately the facts in his case; but we are ready to destroy him before he comes near.”
Vjak vbvrikunamv no okv kvba vdwv Roman kamandarnyi gaam go milwk tvka Paulnyi no gvlo igv modubv, ninyigv lokv mvvma rungmanv yunyingsa paadubv ridunv vla gwngtoka. Vbvritola ninyigv soka aachi madvbv ngonu ninyia mvki chore.”
16 But when Paul's sister's son heard about the ambush, he went and entered the barracks and told Paul.
Vbvritola Paul gv bormv gv kuunyilo angv mvki dubv gwngnam nga tvvpa tola; vkvlvgabv hv sipai doopamlo vngla kula Paulnyi mintamto.
17 So Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander, because he has something to tell him.”
Vbvrikunamv Paul nyigam akonyi gokla okv ninyia minto, “So yaapa nga kamandar gvlo aagv jitoka: hvkv gvlo ogugo ninyi minsvgo doodu.”
18 So he took him and brought him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner called me over and asked me to bring this young man to you because he has something to tell you.”
Nyigam angv ninyia vnggvla, ninyia kamandar gvlo aagv jito, okv minto, “Patwk doonv Paul nga gokla okv nga tvvkala no gvlo so yaapa sum aagv jito vla, ogulvgavbolo hvkv gvlo nam ogugo minsvgo dopvkv vdu.”
19 So taking him by the hand, the commander went aside and asked privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
Kamandar angv ninyigv laak nga gakbwng tola, hv atubongv ninyia svsum laila, okv ninyia tvvkato, “No nga ogugo minsvgo dopvla?”
20 So he said: “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.
Ninyia minto, “Jius tujapkunam vdwv vkvpakv vmisilaku arunyi Paulnyi doopam lo boolwkla nam tvvka dubv vla minya do, kvba ngv hoka ninyigv lvkwng lo tvvkurtvrwk minsu dubv meego chinsv go dopvkv vla gwngre.
21 But you should not believe them, because more than forty of their men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat not to drink until they have destroyed him; even now they are ready, looking for your promise.”
Vbvritola bunua tvvma bvka, vkvlvgavbolo hoka nyi champi lvyago toosila okv ninyigv lvgabv toyado. Bunu ninyia mvkima dvdvlo bunu dvmatvngma dubv milvminsu nyato. Bunu mvnwng ngv um ridukubv vla okv noogv minbwk kuji nama tooyala doonya duku.”
22 Then the commander dismissed the young man commanding, “Don't tell anyone that you have revealed these things to me!”
Kamandar ngv minto, “So sum no ngam minjipvnv vla yvvnyika mimpa mabvkv.” Okv hv yaapa anga vngmu toku.
23 Summoning two of the centurions he said: “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea at the third hour of the night;
Vbvrikunamv kamandar ninyigv nyigam anyi gunyi goklwkla okv minto, “Kaisaria lo vnggv dubv sipai lvngnyi go mingkumto, lvkobv gora jukya nvlo chamkanw go okv nungbung chilaknv nyi lvngnyi go, okv siyugv kia bajilo vngdubv mvpvripv tokula dooya laka.
24 and provide mounts to set Paul on so as to deliver him safely to Felix, the governor.”
Paulnyi gora lo awgo mvge jito juknv dubv okv gobunor Peliks gvlo alvbv aachi modubv.”
25 He wrote a letter with this content:
Orto jinv ngv siti ako ho vbv lvkto:
26 “Claudius Lysias, to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
“Klaudius Laisias mvngdv kunam Gobunor Peliksnyi kumrwksidunv.
27 This man was seized by the Jews and was about to be killed by them; but I came with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman.
Jius vdwv so nyi sum naatung tokula okv ninyia mvki dokubv rinya kunamv. Ho ngo ninyia Roman nyi gobv tvvpatvla, vkvlvgabv ngoogv sipai vdwa lvkobv ngo vnggvla okv ninyia ringpv kunv.
28 And wanting to know the reason they were accusing him, I took him down to their council.
Ngo chinso mvngla bunu mvnwng ngv ninyia ogubv mvduridu nvdw, vkvlvgabv ngo ninyia bunugv kvbadoopam lo igv jitoku.
29 I found that he was being accused about questions of their law, but there was no accusation worthy of death or bonds.
Ngo chinkunamv hv sidubv okv patwk lo tumdubv oguka rimur namgo kaama, ninyia gungnying nyiru minam ngv bunu atugv Pvbv lvkwngbv tvvka sunam go.
30 When I was told that the Jews were about to execute a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also directing his accusers to state the charges against him before you. Farewell.”
Okv vdwlo nga ninyi hoka nyirunv apam go donyapv vla mimpa tokudw, ngo ninyia no gvlo vjakpigobv aagv jidu kubv mvngpv kunv. Ngo ninyia nyirunv vdwa minpvkunv bunugv ninyia gungnying minsv nga noogv kaagia lo minlakv vla.”
31 So the soldiers, according to their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Sipai vdwv bunugv orto jilin kunama gvvlin toku. Bunu Paulnyi boola ikula okv ninyia ayuyupra nga Antipatris lobv vnggv toku.
32 The next day they left the horsemen to go on with him and returned to the barracks.
Logo nvnga lvpabv vngnv sipai vdwv hv bunugv dookulo vngkurkunam okv gora sipai vdwa ninyia lvkobv vngmu toku.
33 When they entered Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Bunu ninyia kaisaria lo aagv tokula, gobunor hv siti nga jilwk toku, okv Paulnyi ninyi gvlo laklwk kunam.
34 When the governor read it, he asked what province he was from; learning that it was Cilicia,
Gobunor siti nga puri tula okv Paulnyi tvvkato no ogulo mooku gvngv. Ho vdwlo ninyia Silisia lokv vla ninyia tvpakunam gola,
35 he said, “I will give you a hearing when your accusers also arrive.” And he commanded him to be guarded in Herod's Praetorium.
ninyi minto, “Ngo nam tvvriare vdwlo noogv yalung doonv ngv vngchi bolo.” Vbvrikunamv ninyi orto jilin toku Paulnyi gobunor gv dooku naam gvlo tumlwk tvla sipai dakgv moto.
