Acts 24
1 After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
pa ncabhyo dinebhya. h para. m hanaaniiyanaamaa mahaayaajako. adhipate. h samak. sa. m paulasya praatikuulyena nivedayitu. m tartullanaamaana. m ka ncana vaktaara. m praaciinajanaa. m"sca sa"ngina. h k. rtvaa kaisariyaanagaram aagacchat|
2 When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your foresight reforms are coming to this nation,
tata. h paule samaaniite sati tartullastasyaapavaadakathaa. m kathayitum aarabhata he mahaamahimaphiilik. sa bhavato vayam atinirvvighna. m kaala. m yaapayaamo bhavata. h pari. naamadar"sitayaa etadde"siiyaanaa. m bahuuni ma"ngalaani gha. titaani,
3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
iti heto rvayamatik. rtaj naa. h santa. h sarvvatra sarvvadaa bhavato gu. naan gaayama. h|
4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
kintu bahubhi. h kathaabhi rbhavanta. m yena na vira njayaami tasmaad vinaye bhavaan banukampya madalpakathaa. m "s. r.notu|
5 For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
e. sa mahaamaariisvaruupo naasaratiiyamatagraahisa. mghaatasya mukhyo bhuutvaa sarvvade"se. su sarvve. saa. m yihuudiiyaanaa. m raajadrohaacara. naprav. rtti. m janayatiityasmaabhi rni"scita. m|
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
sa mandiramapi a"suci karttu. m ce. s.titavaan; iti kaara. naad vayam ena. m dh. rtvaa svavyavasthaanusaare. na vicaarayitu. m praavarttaamahi;
7 but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
kintu lu. siya. h sahasrasenaapatiraagatya balaad asmaaka. m karebhya ena. m g. rhiitvaa
8 commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."

9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
tato yihuudiiyaa api sviik. rtya kathitavanta e. saa kathaa pramaa. nam|
10 When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, "Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
adhipatau kathaa. m kathayitu. m paula. m pratii"ngita. m k. rtavati sa kathitavaan bhavaan bahuun vatsaraan yaavad etadde"sasya "saasana. m karotiiti vij naaya pratyuttara. m daatum ak. sobho. abhavam|
11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
adya kevala. m dvaada"sa dinaani yaataani, aham aaraadhanaa. m karttu. m yiruu"saalamanagara. m gatavaan e. saa kathaa bhavataa j naatu. m "sakyate;
12 In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
kintvibhe maa. m madhyemandira. m kenaapi saha vita. n.daa. m kurvvanta. m kutraapi bhajanabhavane nagare vaa lokaan kuprav. rtti. m janayantu. m na d. r.s. tavanta. h|
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
idaanii. m yasmin yasmin maam apavadante tasya kimapi pramaa. na. m daatu. m na "saknuvanti|
14 But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Law, and which are written in the Prophets;
kintu bhavi. syadvaakyagranthe vyavasthaagranthe ca yaa yaa kathaa likhitaaste taasu sarvvaasu vi"svasya yanmatam ime vidharmma. m jaananti tanmataanusaare. naaha. m nijapit. rpuru. saa. naam ii"svaram aaraadhayaamiityaha. m bhavata. h samak. sam a"ngiikaromi|
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
dhaarmmikaa. naam adhaarmmikaa. naa nca pramiitalokaanaamevotthaana. m bhavi. syatiiti kathaamime sviikurvvanti tathaahamapi tasmin ii"svare pratyaa"saa. m karomi;
16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
ii"svarasya maanavaanaa nca samiipe yathaa nirdo. so bhavaami tadartha. m satata. m yatnavaan asmi|
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
bahu. su vatsare. su gate. su svade"siiyalokaanaa. m nimitta. m daaniiyadravyaa. ni naivedyaani ca samaadaaya punaraagamana. m k. rtavaan|
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
tatoha. m "suci rbhuutvaa lokaanaa. m samaagama. m kalaha. m vaa na kaaritavaan tathaapyaa"siyaade"siiyaa. h kiyanto yihudiiyalokaa madhyemandira. m maa. m dh. rtavanta. h|
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
mamopari yadi kaacidapavaadakathaasti tarhi bhavata. h samiipam upasthaaya te. saameva saak. syadaanam ucitam|
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
nocet puurvve mahaasabhaasthaanaa. m lokaanaa. m sannidhau mama da. n.daayamaanatvasamaye, ahamadya m. rtaanaamutthaane yu. smaabhi rvicaaritosmi,
21 unless it is for this one thing that I shouted out standing among them, 'Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today.'"
te. saa. m madhye ti. s.thannaha. m yaamimaa. m kathaamuccai. h svare. na kathitavaan tadanyo mama kopi do. so. alabhyata na veti varam ete samupasthitalokaa vadantu|
22 But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, "When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case."
tadaa phiilik. sa etaa. m kathaa. m "srutvaa tanmatasya vi"se. sav. rttaanta. m vij naatu. m vicaara. m sthagita. m k. rtvaa kathitavaan lu. siye sahasrasenaapatau samaayaate sati yu. smaaka. m vicaaram aha. m ni. spaadayi. syaami|
23 He ordered the centurion that he should be kept in custody, and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

24 But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

25 As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, "Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you."
paulena nyaayasya parimitabhogasya caramavicaarasya ca kathaayaa. m kathitaayaa. m satyaa. m phiilik. sa. h kampamaana. h san vyaaharad idaanii. m yaahi, aham avakaa"sa. m praapya tvaam aahuusyaami|
26 Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.
muktipraptyartha. m paulena mahya. m mudraadaasyante iti patyaa"saa. m k. rtvaa sa puna. h punastamaahuuya tena saaka. m kathopakathana. m k. rtavaan|
27 But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
