Acts 24
1 Five days later Ananias the high priest arrived with some of the Jewish leaders, and with a lawyer called Tertullus. They presented formal charges against Paul to the governor.
Sa bangnga lidi Romwah phokhothoon Ananias ih hadaang phokhoh nyia mat hoonte Tartullos ah siit ano Kaisiria ni kata. Neng loong ah Pheliks ngathong ni Pool matjoot tiit ah baatwan rumta.
2 When Paul was summoned, Tertullus began making his case against him. He said, “Your Excellency Governor Felix, we have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and as a result of your wise judgment reforms have been enacted for the benefit of the nation.
Eno Pool ah noppoon wan ano, Tartullus ih mat tiit ah Kobono suh amah eh baatkota: “Elong elang! An ejatthoon ang thoidi rekamdook eh jaaseemoong eh pan hali, eno sengdeek sengkaan ese ang raangtaan eh jirep ah huksiit wan halu.
3 All of us throughout the country are so very grateful to you for this.
Eno arah likhiik ah saarookwet eh noongrep ni seechoh hi, lang ekah ngeh ih ju liihi.
4 But in order not to bore you, please be so kind as to give us your attention for a short while.
Ngah ih an rangsa thamhoom suh tali kang, enoothong an ih amasah tiit hoon theng ah boichaat ih weetheng ngeh ih an lasih jowe hala.
5 We discovered that this man is a real pest, stirring up rebellions among Jews all over the world, a ringleader of the Nazarene sect.
Arah mih ah mih rookmui thukte nyia haphaang phakte; Jehudi jaachi ni noongrep ni mui phang donghoomha erah damdi Najaret dowa lamsiitte ah arah mih ah.
6 He tried to defile the Temple, so we arrested him.
Rangsoomnok thetbaatte ah uh arah mih ah, erah thoidi jokhak hi.
8 By interrogating him yourself you will discover the truth of our accusations.”
Arah mih asuh cheng ubah, an teeteewah ih jirep ah jatjoh uh tiim esuh mat eh joh hi rah ah.”
9 The Jews joined in, saying that this was all true.
Jehudi loong ah matpaat thengni khoonthok rum haano amiisak tiit baat ha ngeh ih roongjeng rumta.
10 The Governor motioned for Paul to respond. “Recognizing you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense,” Paul began.
Kobono ih Pool suh jeng uh ngeh ih heh lak japta, eno Pool ih liita, “Ngah ih jat ehang an ih arah deek adi rekamdook eh mat ah hoonkaat halu, eno an ngathong ni nga teewah pangjeng jeng suh tenroon ju.
11 “You can easily verify that I arrived in Jerusalem to worship just twelve days ago.
An teeteewah ih ju jat eh uh, Jerusalem ni rangsoom wangtang ah asih saanyi nang eju ehan tah angka.
12 Nobody found me arguing in the Temple with anyone, or inciting people to riot in any synagogue or anywhere in the city.
Rangsoomnok ni o damdi daanmui angrah uh Jehudi loong ih tatup rang, tam aleh Jehudi rangsoomnok ni nyia samnuthung mani bah uh haphaang hoom ang rah tuprum tahang.
13 Nor can they prove to you any of their accusations against me.
Neng ih mat eh jorum halang ah an suh tajen noisok rumru.
14 But I will admit this to you: I serve the God of our fathers following the beliefs of the Way, which they call a heretical sect. I believe everything the law teaches and what is written in the books of the prophets.
Arah jengkhaap ah ngah ih thang ehang: Ngah ih sengte sengwah Rangte lih phanhang eno neng ih tah angka ngeh ih liiha. Moses Hootthe ni raangha nyia khowah loong ih raangta ah ngah ih jirep ah hanpi ehang.
15 I have the same hope in God that they do, believing that there will be a resurrection of the good and the wicked.
Ngah uh neng laalomla likhiik Rangte suh laalom lang, mithih mise tek nawa ngaaksaat eh ah liiha ah uh laalom ehang.
16 Consequently I try to make sure I always have a clear conscience before God and everyone.
Erah raangtaan ih Rangte nyia mina ngathong ni nga thung seklilih ansuh saarookwet eh thun hang.
17 Having been away for a few years I returned to bring some money to help the poor and to give offerings to God.
“Rekam lidi Jerusalem ni ngaak hangno, nga mina loong chosok suh nyia nga Rangte suh kot suh ngun ah hui eh wan tahang.
18 That's what they found me doing in the Temple—completing the ceremony of purification. There was no crowd and no disturbance.
Eno Rangsoomnok ni khojoop hoon ang rah neng ih tup eh rum tahang. Nga damdi mih uh tanang jeeta hah uh taphaang phaktang.
19 But some Jews from the province of Asia were there, who should be present here before you today to bring their charges, if they have anything against me.
Enoothong Esia nawa Jehudi loong marah marah eje angta; ngah matjoot jilam ang dobah nengneng ra haano an ngathong nah baatkaat theng rum taha.
20 Otherwise let these men here explain themselves what crime they found me guilty of when I stood before the council,
Adoleh, arah miloong asuh cheng uh, nok atang ngathong ni toonchap tang adoh ngah matkapjih tiim jat chojoh rum tahang—
21 except for the time when I shouted out to them, ‘I am on trial before you today because of my belief in the resurrection of the dead.’”
neng ngathong ni toonchap tang adoh jaasiit ba jengtang: ‘Chiinnyah uh an ih tek nawa ngaaksaat tiit ah hanpi thoidi cheng halang.’”
22 Felix who was well-informed about the Way then adjourned the trial. “When Lysias the commander comes I will make my decision regarding your case,” he said.
Lampo ah jat ano Pheliks ih mat ah kharok eh hoon thukta. “Lisia saahaap elong ah thok taha doh” baat rumta, “Sen mat tiit ah ngah ih hoonkoh rumha.”
23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul in custody but to allow him some measure of freedom and to let Paul's friends care for him without interference.
Pool sokboite saahaap asuh elong ah ih sipaahi ih rapniine toom ban rum ah ngeh ih baat rumta, enoothong hejoon hewaan uh toom chomui rum ah tiim kot theng ang abah uh toom koh rum ah ngeh ih baat rumta.
24 Some days later Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about trusting in Christ Jesus.
Saajombaji lidi Pheliks nyia heh minuh Drusilla, Jehudi nok hah kapta ah siit ano ra taha. Pool ah poon ano Jisu Kristo suh tuumaang tiit ah roongwaan rumta.
25 He discussed with them about living right, self-control, and the coming judgment. Felix became alarmed and told Paul, “You can go now, and I'll send for you when I get the chance.”
Enoothong Pool ih ese tiit, enaan tiit nyia Dande Rangwu tiit jangbaat kano Pheliks ah echo eh ano liita, “amadoh an jen doksoon et uh. Saapoot je adoh we poonha.”
26 Hoping that Paul would give him a bribe, Felix often sent for Paul and talked with him.
Erah damdi Pool ih ngun hekoh hang ngeh ih mok laalomta; erah raangtaan eh hepoot hepoot doh poon angno roongwaan ang ngeh ih thunta.
27 Two years passed and Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. To stay in favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
Paang nyi lih ang ano, Pheliks lidi, Porkus Phestas ah Kobono angta. Jehudi loong ih ese toom choh hang thun ano Pheliks ih Pool ah phaatak ni sak thiinta.
