Acts 23
1 Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience 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 The high priest, Khananya, commanded those who stood by him to strike 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 Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you sit to judge me according to the Law, and command me to be struck 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 Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?"
Àwọn tí ó dúró tì Paulu sì wí pé, “Ìwọ́ ń gan olórí àlùfáà Ọlọ́run?”
5 Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a 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 shouted in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged."
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 When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly 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, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
Nítorí tí àwọn Sadusi wí pé, kò sì àjíǹde, tàbí angẹli, tàbí ẹ̀mí: ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Farisi jẹ́wọ́ méjèèjì.
9 A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit spoke to him, or an angel?"
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 When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
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 The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, for as you have testified about me at Urishlim, so you must testify 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 When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until 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 There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
Àwọn tí ó dìtẹ̀ yìí sì ju ogójì ènìyàn lọ.
14 They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed 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 inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near."
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 But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks 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 Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, "Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something 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 commanding officer, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell 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 The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, "What is it 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 ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they intended to inquire somewhat more thoroughly concerning him.
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 Therefore do not yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the 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 commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, "Tell no one that you have revealed 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 He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Qesarya, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at nine tonight."
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 He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely 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 He wrote a letter like this:
Ó sì kọ ìwé kan báyìí pé,
26 "Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

27 "This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned 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 Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to 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 I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
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 When I was told that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. 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 So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, 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 But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
Ní ọjọ́ kejì wọ́n sì fi àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin sílẹ̀ láti máa bá a lọ, àwọn sì padà wá sínú àgọ́ àwọn ológun.
33 When they came to Qesarya and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
Nígbà tí wọ́n dé Kesarea, tí wọ́n sí fi ìwé fún baálẹ̀, wọ́n mú Paulu pẹ̀lú wá síwájú rẹ̀.
34 When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
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 fully when your accusers also arrive." He commanded that he be kept in Herod's palace.
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.
