Acts 23
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brothers, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this 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 smite 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 said Paul to him, God shall smite you, you white washed wall: for sit you to judge me after the law, and command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
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, Revile you God’s high priest?
Àwọn tí ó dúró tì Paulu sì wí pé, “Ìwọ́ ń gan olórí àlùfáà Ọlọ́run?”
5 Then said Paul, I knew not, brothers, that he was the high priest: for it is written, You shall not speak evil of the ruler of your 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 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of 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 the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
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 chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of 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 stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as you have testified of me in Jerusalem, so must you 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 it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had 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 which had made this conspiracy.
Àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ yìí sì ju ogójì ènìyàn lọ.
14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until 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 you with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down to you to morrow, as though you would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever 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 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went 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 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Bring this young man to the chief captain: for he has a certain 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 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and prayed me to bring this young man to you, who has something to say to you.
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 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that you have 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 you that you would bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
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 you yield to them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from you.
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 So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See you tell no man that you have showed these things to me.
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 And he called to him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen three score and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at 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 them 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 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Ó sì kọ ìwé kan báyìí pé,
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix sends greeting.
Kilaudiu Lisia, sí Feliksi baálẹ̀ ọlọ́lá jùlọ, àlàáfíà.
27 This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was 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 when I would have known the cause why they accused 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 perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
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 it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to you, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before you what they had against him. 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, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and 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 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and 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 came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé Kesarea, tí wọ́n sí fi ìwé fún baálẹ̀, wọ́n mú Paulu pẹ̀lú wá síwájú rẹ̀.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he 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 you, said he, when your accusers are also 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.
