Acts 23
1 And Paul having earnestly beheld the Sanhedrin, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived to God in all good conscience to this day”;
Chuin Paul in houvaipo ho chu ave changmel in, “Sopite ho, Pathen angsunga se le pha hetkhen na kicheh tah neiya hing jing kahi!”
2 and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike him on the mouth,
Chuin thempu chungnung Ananias chun Paul toh kinaiya umho koma chun amuhsom abehpeh dingun thu apen ahi.
3 then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall, and you sit judging me according to the Law, and violating law, order me to be struck!”
Ahin Paul in, “Phatlouna a dim miphalhem pa! Pathen in nangma nabeh ding ahi, itobang thutan mi nahiya nangman dan napal keh a chutobang a eibeng dinga mi thu napeh ham?” ati.
4 And those who stood by said, “Do you revile the chief priest of God?”
Chuin Paul kimvela ding ho chun, “Pathen thempu chungnung chu na housal ngam ham?” atiuvin ahi.
5 And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is chief priest, for it has been written: You will not speak evil of the ruler of your people”;
Paul in adonbut un, “Sopite ho, neingai damun, thempu chungnung ahilam kanahet lou ahi, ajeh chu Pathen lekhabun ‘nalamkai te chunga thuse nasei lou ding ahi’ tin akisune” ati.
6 and Paul having known that one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee—son of a Pharisee—concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I am judged.”
Chuin Paul in houvaipoloi ho kikhopna a chu Sadducee hole Pharisee ho kihal ahiu ahet doh phat chun, hatah in asamin, “Sopite ho, kapu kapate khanga pat'a Pharisee mi kahin! Thokit thudola kinepna kanei jeh a kachung thu kitan ahi!” atin ahi.
7 And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
Hijeh chun Pharisee ho le Sadducee ho chu hopnin aki homkhen tauvin ahi.
8 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no resurrection, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
Ajeh chu Sadducee ho chun mihem thokitna, vantil, chule lhagao um thudol atahsan lou-u ahi, ahin Pharisee ho vang chun aboncha-a hi atahsanu ahi.
9 And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees’ part having arisen, were striving, saying, “We find no evil in this man; and if a spirit spoke to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God”;
Chuin akah uva boina asousang tan, hou danthu hila pang Pharisee phabep chun thuneitah in, “Hichepa chunga hin thildih lou ima aumpoi, lhagao ahiloule vantil in ahenga thu asei hitei ding ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
10 and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to seize him out of their midst, and to bring [him] into the stronghold.
Chuin akah uva kitomona asan cheh cheh phat in sepai vaipopa chun Paul chu kehni sokhauvin te tin, sepai ho chu asollin Paul chu hunam in aga huhdoh sah in kulpi sunga apuilut sah tan ahi.
11 And on the following night, the LORD having stood by him, said, “Take courage, Paul, for as you fully testified [to] the things concerning Me at Jerusalem, so you must also testify at Rome.”
Hiche ni jan chun Paul henga Pakai akilah in, “Paul, lungneo hih in, hiche Jerusalema keima nei phondoh banga hi Rome a jong kipana thupha hettoh sah a napan ding ahi” ati.
12 And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, cursed themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they may kill Paul;
Ajing jingkah in Juda miho phabep akiloiyun Paul itha tohkah uva an ineh lou diu ahi tin akihahsel tauvin ahi.
13 and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,
Chutia kigahna sem chu abonun mi somli avaluvin ahi.
14 who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, “With a curse we accursed ourselves—to taste nothing until we have killed Paul;
Chuin amaho thempulen hole upa ho henga acheuvin aga seiyuvin, “Paul katha tokah uva ima nelou dinga kihahsel kahiuve,” aga tiuvin ahi.
15 now, therefore, you, signify to the chief captain, with the Sanhedrin, that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming near, are ready to put him to death.”
“Hijeh chun nangho vaipo hon sepai vaipopa henga gaseiyun lang Paul chu achungchang thudol kholchet be ding in houvaipo ho anga hin nung puikit in tin gathum uvin, chuteng le keihon ama chu lamkah a katha diu ahi,” atiuvin ahi.
16 And the son of Paul’s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the stronghold, told Paul,
Ahin hiche tohgon chu Paul sopinu chapan ajah lhih phat in kulpi sunga alhailut jelin Paul henga aga sei tan ahi.
17 and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, “Lead this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to tell him.”
Chuin Paul in Rome sepai jalamkai khat akouvin, “Hiche khangdong pa hi sepai vaipi popa henga puilut uvin ajeh chu seiding thupitah khat aneiye,” ati.
18 He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him to the chief captain and says, “The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] to bring to you this young man, having something to say to you.”
Chuin Sepai jalamkai pa chun aseiyin, “Songkul'a um Paul chun eikouvin, hiche khangdong pa hin sepai vaipipo henga seiding thupitah aneiye atin eihin puilut sah ahi,” atin ahi.
19 And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, “What is that which you have to tell me?”
Chuin sepai vaipipo chun akhut in atuh in, “Ipi ham nasei nom chu?” tin adong tan ahi.
20 And he said, “The Jews agreed to request you, that tomorrow you may bring down Paul to the Sanhedrin, as being about to inquire something more exactly concerning him;
Chuin Paul sopinu chapa chun, “Jing nikho tengle Juda mi phabep in houvaipoloi anga dinsah kit dinga nahenga kona achungthu kholbe ding kisa a Paul ahung puidoh got diu ahi.
21 you, therefore, may you not yield to them, for there more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who cursed themselves—not to eat nor to drink until they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.”
Ahin soldoh hih in ajeh chu mi somli valin lamkah a chanlhih a chuleh atha tokah uva ima nelou ding in akihahsel uve, chule tua hi nangma thulhuh bou angau ahitai,” tin asei tan ahi.
22 The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him], “Tell no one that you have shown these things to me”;
Chuin sepai vaipipo chun khangdong pa henga, “Keima koma hiche thu nahung sei hi koima hetsah hih in,” tin agihsal tan ahi.
23 and having called a certain two of the centurions near, he said, “Make ready two hundred soldiers, that they may go on to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, from the third hour of the night;
Chuin sepai vaipipo chun sepai jalamkai ni akouvin “Tujan nidan ko tengleh Caesarea jon ding in sepai jani gotsan koi lhonin, chule tengchoi sepai jani le sakol sepai somsagi jong gong tup lhonin.
24 also provide beasts, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe to Felix the governor”;
Chule Paul touna ding sakol khat jong gong lhon in lang gamvaipo Felix henga kitup selin gathah un,” atin ahi.
25 he having written a letter after this description:
Chuin gamvaipo ding chun lekha khat ajih in,
26 “Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, greetings:
“Jaumtah gamvaipo Felix, Claudius Lysias akon in salam!” tin athot in ahi.
27 This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them—having come with the army, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;
“Hiche pa hi Juda ten abulhu uva thadinga anagot pettah un sepai hotoh kagalut un, Rome mi ahi kahetdoh phat in bitkeiyin kahin huh doh e.
28 and intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin,
Chuin ahehset nau hetdoh nading in houvaipoloi angsunga kadinsah in ahileh,
29 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
Aheh nau hi amaho houthu toh kisai ahi kahedoh tan, ima songkul tan nading le tha nading kamupoi ahi.
30 and a plot having been intimated to me against this man—about to be of the Jews—I sent to you at once, having also given command to the accusers to say the things against him before you; be strong.”
Ahin thadinga agot-u kahet doh phat a apet pet a nahenga kahin sol ahitai, chule ahehse ho jong nang ma henga hung ding in kasei peh tauve,” ati.
31 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
Thupeh dung juiyin sepai hon Paul chu Antipatris heng alhut un ahi.
32 and on the next day, having permitted the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the stronghold;
Ajing jingkah in amaho ahung kinung leuvin ahin sakol sepai hon Paul chu Caesarea chan aga thah un ahi.
33 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
Chuin Caesarea alhun un Paul le Lekhathot chu gamvaipo Felix henga apelut tauvin ahi.
34 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
Chuin lekhathot chu asim jouvin Paul chu “hoilai gamkai mi nahim” tin adong in ahileh Paul in “Cilicia,” ati.
35 “I will hear you,” he said, “when your accusers may also have come”; he also commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
Chuin gamvaipo chun, “Nahehse ho ahung lhun teng nachung thu kakhol ding ahi,” atin chujouvin gamvaipo chun Herod inpia songkul'a koiding in thu apetan ahi.
