Acts 23
1 And Paul, looking the sanhedrim in the face, said, Men, brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God unto this day.
Pool ih ngoomthumte loong taangko sok ano jengta, “Phoh ano Ijirel noksong! Chiinnyah tuk eh Rangte ngathong ni ngaathung ngaatak phanjangjang eh songtong lang.”
2 And the high priest Ananias commanded those standing near him to smite him in the mouth.
Erah chaat ano Romwah phokhoh Ananias ih Pool reeni chapte loong asuh heh tui ni mangbot suh baat rumta.
3 Then Paul said to him, God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall: indeed thou art sitting judging me according to the law, and dost thou command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Eno Pool ih Romwah phokhoh asuh liita, “An lonoite—Rangte ih amiisak eh baangbuho! Erah di tong uno Hootthe ah pi uno dande hu, ang ah bah uh nga baangbot baat hu ah ih an thet haat hu!”
4 And those standing by said, Do you revile the high priest of God?
Heh re tiittiit chapte loong ah ih Pool suh li rumta, “An ih Rangte Romwah phokhothoon kaanju hu!”
5 And Paul said, Brethren, I did not know that he is the high priest; for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your people.
Pool ih ngaakli rumta, “Phoh ano Ijirel noksong, Ngah ih Romwah phokhothoon ngeh ih tajattang. Rangteele ni liiha, ‘Mabah uh noksong pante suh an ih ethih lali theng.”
6 And Paul knowing that one part of them belongs to the Sadducees, and another to the Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of the Pharisees: concerning the hope and the resurrection of the dead I am judged.
Miloong dung ni mararah ah Pharisi, mararah ah Sadusi japtup rum ano, Ngoongthum theng ni Pool ih dokpoon rumta, “Ijirel phoh ano loong! Ngah Pharisi sah, Parisiite ah. Tek nawa ngaaksaat lidoh roidong na suh laalom thoidi ngah adi thaak poon rum halang!”
7 And he speaking this, there was a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
Erah lih adi, Pharisi nyia Sadusis loong ah neng jaachi ni phang rookmui rum ano, dungnyi eh hoon rumta. (
8 For the Sadducees indeed say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Sadusis loong ah ih liita mina tek nawa tangaak saatka, eno chiiala nyia heh kaamwah uh tajeeka; enoothong, Pharisi loong ah eh arah ejomjom hanpiiha.)
9 And there was a great clamor: and certain ones of the scribes on the part of the Pharisees, rising up, continued to strive, saying, We find nothing evil in this man: but has a spirit or an angel spoken to him?
Erah thoidi we we boot riiraak eh rumta, eno Pharisi nok hah mararah Hootthe nyootte loong ah toonchap rum ano thidokdok eh daan rumta: “Arah mina thih arah tatupke! Heh damdi chiiala nyia rangsah tam roongwaan kotaaja!”
10 And the dissension being great, the chiliarch fearing lest Paul may be torn to pieces by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to take him from their midst, and lead him into the castle.
Choophaan phaan eh daanmui rum kano saahaap elong ah Pool maalek tek haat rumja oh ngeh ih choota. Erah thoidi heh bante loong ah datkhoom kah rum ano midung nawa Pool ah sipaahi tongtheng adi siitkaat thuk rumta.
11 And on the following night, the Lord standing over him, said, Take courage: for as thou hast testified to the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so it behooveth thee also to testify to me in Rome.
Erah rangphe adi Pool ngathong ni Teesu ah chap ano heh suh baatta, “Nakcho uh! Jerusalem ni an nga haaki ang uh, eno Room nah uh emamah eh ang theng.”
12 And it being day, the Jews having formed a conspiracy, obligated themselves by an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they might kill Paul.
Erah saalih adi Jehudi loong ah rangkhah di neng kaankoong tiit roongwaan suh khoontong rumta. Neng loong ah ih Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ih kakham rumta.
13 And there were more than forty having made this plot:
Erah mongtham hoonte miloong ah rookbaji nang eh ehan ang rumta.
14 who, having come to the chief priests and elders, said, We have anathematized ourselves with an anathema, to taste nothing until we may kill Paul.
Eno Romwah phokhothoon nyia mihak phokhoh loong asuh baatwan rumta, “Seng ih Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ih kakham hi joh.
15 Now therefore do you appeal to the chiliarch along with the sanhedrim, that he may lead him down to you, as about to investigate matters concerning him more thoroughly: and we are ready to kill him before he comes nigh.
Erah raangtaan ih Ngoong awang sen loong ah ih Room nok hah saahaap elong asuh Pool ah sen reenah toom siitkaat rumha ngeh ih maatbaat an, seng ih heh thoilam ah rapniine eh jat suh liihi ngeh ih diipli theng. Eno adoh maang thokra doh lam nah tek haat suh ban tong ih.”
16 And the son of Paul's sister, having heard of ambuscade, coming and entering into the castle, reported it to Paul.
Enoothong erah kaankoong ah Pool diik heh nah sah rah ih japchaatta; eno sipaahi tongtheng adi wang ano Pool suh hubaat wanta.
17 And Paul, having called one of the centurions, said, Lead this young man to the chiliarch: for he has something to tell him.
Eno Pool ih saahaap wasiit ah poon ano baatta, “Arah jaaro ah saahaap elong jiinnah siitwan uh; heh ih tiim atiim baat theng eje tih.”
18 Then indeed taking him, he led him to the chiliarch, and says, Paul the prisoner, having called me, requested me to lead this young man to you, having something to tell you.
Erah saahaap ah ih, elong ah reeni siitwan ano, baat wanta, “Pool phaatak ni sak hi eno heh ih poon hangno arah jaaro ah an reeni siitwan thuk halang, heh ih an suh tiim atiim baat theng eje tih.”
19 And the chiliarch taking him by the hand, and having gone away privately, asked him, What is that which you have to tell me?
Saahaap ah ih heh lakni heh re tiittiit eh, johoom ano chengta, “Ngah suh tiimjaat baat theng ah.”
20 And he said, The Jews have entered into an agreement to ask you that to-morrow you may lead Paul to the sanhedrim, as about to make inquiry as to something more definite concerning him.
Eno jaaro ah ih baatta, “Jehudi dowa ngoong awang loong ah roongwaan rumta, rangkhah noksong reenah Pool siitkaat theng ngeh ih diipli rum ano, suwang rumho noksong ih heh thoilam ah rapniine eh jat suh li rumha tih ngeh ah.
21 Therefore do not be persuaded by them: for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, who have obligated themselves by an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they may kill him: and now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you.
Eno an ih nakmok boichaat uh, mih rookbaji nang eh ehan heh bansokte hutong rum ah. Neng ih kakham rumha Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ah. Neng loong ah ih amadi an jengkhaap bansok halu.”
22 Then indeed the chiliarch sent away the young man, having commanded him to Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.
Saahaap elong ah ih liita, “Ngah suh baat halang ah o suh uh nakbaat uh joh.” Eno jaaro ah kaat thukta.
23 And having called a certain two of the centurions, he said, Get ready two hundred soldiers that they may go unto Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, from the third hour of the night;
Eno saahaap elong ah ih saahaap wanyi poon ano baat nyuuta, “Kaisiria nah kaat suh sipaahi chaanyi, moksiitte rooksinat, pah piite chaanyi ban khookhaam an, niikja saapoot akhuh doh dokchap theng.
24 and prepare beasts of burden, that, having carried away Paul, you may deliver him safe to Felix the governor.
Pool raangtaan ih mok ah koh anno Kobono Pheliks reenah eseetham eh thoksiit an.”
25 Writing a letter having this form:
Eno saahaap elong ah ih Kobono Pheliks suh le ah raangmaat eta:
26 Claudius Lysias to the most noble governor Felix, greeting.
“Elong elang Kludias Lisias, Kobono Pheliks: Jengkhaapse ra hala,
27 This man, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be put to death by them, having interposed with my army, I took out of their hands, having learned that he is a Roman:
Jehudi loong ah ih arah mina ah joh ano tek haat taat eh rumta. Ngah ih chaattang heh Room nok hah, erah thoidi sipaahi loong ah siit angno pang wangtang.
28 and wishing to know the cause on account of which they clamored against him, I led him into their sanhedrim:
Tiimthoi tiimlam di Jehudi loong ih mat eh jota erah ah jat suh ngeh ih neng Ngoongthum theng ni taatsiit kaattang.
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, having no charge worthy of death or bonds.
Eno Pool tek haat theng nyia phaatak nah saktheng abah ngah ih tajat jokang; neng ih mat eh joha abah neng Hootthe chengmui thoidi.
30 And a plot from them being revealed to me to be against the man, I sent him to thee, having commanded his accusers also to speak in thy presence.
Eno Pool tek haat suh kaankoong rumha ngeh ih chaat angno, lakdamdam eh an reeni wang thuk suh liitang. Mat eh deejootte loong asuh tiit ah an reenah hoon theng ngeh ih baat rum hang.”
31 Then indeed the soldiers, according to that which had been commanded them, taking Paul led him by night to Antipatris:
Sipaahi loong ah dokchap eh rumta. Erah rangpheeja Pool ah Antipatris maang thokthok eh siitkaat rumta.
32 And on the following day letting the cavalry go on with him, they returned to the castle.
Erah saalih adi neng lah ih kaatte arami loong ah sipaahi tongtheng ni ngaakwang rumta eno moksiitte loong ah Pool damdoh wakkaat thuk suh erah ni thiinhaat rumta.
33 Who, having come into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, also committed Paul to him.
Kaisaria ni thok rum ano Kobono asuh le ah chokoh; Pool ah thiinhaat koh eh rumta.
34 And having read, and made inquiry of what jurisdiction,
Kobono ih le ah sok ano Pool suh o haate ah ngeh ih chengta. Silisia haate ngeh ih jat ano,
35 and ascertaining that he is from Cilicia, said, I will hear thee, when thy accusers may also be present, having commanded that he should be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
liita, “An mat eh jootte loong thok ha doh tiit ah ma paat ih.” Eno Pool ah sipaahi loong asuh Kobono tongta nok adi ban thuk rumta.
