< Acts 23 >
1 And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men [and] brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

2 And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
anena hanaaniiyanaamaa mahaayaajakasta. m kapole cape. tenaahantu. m samiipasthalokaan aadi. s.tavaan|
3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, [thou] whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
tadaa paulastamavadat, he bahi. spari. sk. rta, ii"svarastvaa. m praharttum udyatosti, yato vyavasthaanusaare. na vicaarayitum upavi"sya vyavasthaa. m la"nghitvaa maa. m praharttum aaj naapayasi|
4 And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
tato nika. tasthaa lokaa akathayan, tva. m kim ii"svarasya mahaayaajaka. m nindasi?
5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
anantara. m paulaste. saam arddha. m siduukilokaa arddha. m phiruu"silokaa iti d. r.s. tvaa proccai. h sabhaasthalokaan avadat he bhraat. rga. na aha. m phiruu"simataavalambii phiruu"sina. h satnaana"sca, m. rtalokaanaam utthaane pratyaa"saakara. naad ahamapavaaditosmi|
7 And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
iti kathaayaa. m kathitaayaa. m phiruu"sisiduukino. h paraspara. m bhinnavaakyatvaat sabhaayaa madhye dvau sa. mghau jaatau|
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

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 hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

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.

11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
raatro prabhustasya samiipe ti. s.than kathitavaan he paula nirbhayo bhava yathaa yiruu"saalamnagare mayi saak. sya. m dattavaan tathaa romaanagarepi tvayaa daatavyam|
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.
dine samupasthite sati kiyanto yihuudiiyalokaa ekamantra. naa. h santa. h paula. m na hatvaa bhojanapaane kari. syaama iti "sapathena svaan abadhnan|
13 And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
catvaari. m"sajjanebhyo. adhikaa lokaa iti pa. nam akurvvan|
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.

15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

16 And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
tadaa paulasya bhaagineyaste. saamiti mantra. naa. m vij naaya durga. m gatvaa taa. m vaarttaa. m paulam uktavaan|
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto [him], and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
tasmaat paula eka. m "satasenaapatim aahuuya vaakyamidam bhaa. sitavaan sahasrasenaapate. h samiipe. asya yuvamanu. syasya ki ncinnivedanam aaste, tasmaat tatsavidham ena. m naya|
18 So he took him, and brought [him] to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto [him], and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
tata. h sa tamaadaaya sahasrasenaapate. h samiipam upasthaaya kathitavaan, bhavata. h samiipe. asya kimapi nivedanamaaste tasmaat bandi. h paulo maamaahuuya bhavata. h samiipam enam aanetu. m praarthitavaan|
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went [with him] aside privately, and asked [him], What is that thou hast to tell me?
tadaa sahasrasenaapatistasya hasta. m dh. rtvaa nirjanasthaana. m niitvaa p. r.s. thavaan tava ki. m nivedana. m? tat kathaya|
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
tata. h sokathayat, yihuudiiyalaakaa. h paule kamapi vi"se. savicaara. m chala. m k. rtvaa ta. m sabhaa. m netu. m bhavata. h samiipe nivedayitu. m amantrayan|
21 But do not thou yield unto 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 thee.
kintu mavataa tanna sviikarttavya. m yataste. saa. m madhyevarttina"scatvaari. m"sajjanebhyo. adhikalokaa ekamantra. naa bhuutvaa paula. m na hatvaa bhojana. m paana nca na kari. syaama iti "sapathena baddhaa. h santo ghaatakaa iva sajjitaa idaanii. m kevala. m bhavato. anumatim apek. sante|
22 So the chief captain [then] let the young man depart, and charged [him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
yaamimaa. m kathaa. m tva. m niveditavaan taa. m kasmaicidapi maa kathayetyuktvaa sahasrasenaapatista. m yuvaana. m vis. r.s. tavaan|
23 And he called unto [him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

24 And provide [them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring [him] safe unto Felix the governor.
paulam aarohayitu. m phiilik. saadhipate. h samiipa. m nirvvighna. m netu nca vaahanaani samupasthaapayata. m|
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
apara. m sa patra. m likhitvaa dattavaan tallikhitametat,
26 Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix [sendeth] greeting.

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.

28 And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
kinnimitta. m te tamapavadante tajj naatu. m te. saa sabhaa. m tamaanaayitavaan|
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.

30 And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what [they had] against him. Farewell.

31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought [him] by night to Antipatris.
sainyaga. na aaj naanusaare. na paula. m g. rhiitvaa tasyaa. m rajanyaam aantipaatrinagaram aanayat|
32 On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

33 Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
tata. h pare gho. takaarohisainyaga. na. h kaisariyaanagaram upasthaaya tatpatram adhipate. h kare samarpya tasya samiipe paulam upasthaapitavaan|
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;
tadaadhipatistatpatra. m pa. thitvaa p. r.s. thavaan e. sa kimprade"siiyo jana. h? sa kilikiyaaprade"siiya eko jana iti j naatvaa kathitavaan,
35 I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
