< 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.

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,

3 we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

4 But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
ཀིནྟུ བཧུབྷིཿ ཀཐཱབྷི རྦྷཝནྟཾ ཡེན ན ཝིརཉྫཡཱམི ཏསྨཱད྄ ཝིནཡེ བྷཝཱན྄ བནུཀམྤྱ མདལྤཀཐཱཾ ཤྲྀཎོཏུ།
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.
ཨེཥ མཧཱམཱརཱིསྭརཱུཔོ ནཱསརཏཱིཡམཏགྲཱཧིསཾགྷཱཏསྱ མུཁྱོ བྷཱུཏྭཱ སཪྻྭདེཤེཥུ སཪྻྭེཥཱཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ རཱཛདྲོཧཱཙརཎཔྲཝྲྀཏྟིཾ ཛནཡཏཱིཏྱསྨཱབྷི རྣིཤྩིཏཾ།
6 He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
ས མནྡིརམཔི ཨཤུཙི ཀརྟྟུཾ ཙེཥྚིཏཝཱན྄; ཨིཏི ཀཱརཎཱད྄ ཝཡམ྄ ཨེནཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ སྭཝྱཝསྠཱནུསཱརེཎ ཝིཙཱརཡིཏུཾ པྲཱཝརྟྟཱམཧི;
7 but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
ཀིནྟུ ལུཥིཡཿ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིརཱགཏྱ བལཱད྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཀརེབྷྱ ཨེནཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ
8 commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."
ཨེཏསྱཱཔཝཱདཀཱན྄ བྷཝཏཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགནྟུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄། ཝཡཾ ཡསྨིན྄ ཏམཔཝཱདཱམོ བྷཝཏཱ པདཔཝཱདཀཐཱཡཱཾ ཝིཙཱརིཏཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ སཪྻྭཾ ཝྲྀཏྟཱནྟཾ ཝེདིཏུཾ ཤཀྵྱཏེ།
9 The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
ཏཏོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱ ཨཔི སྭཱིཀྲྀཏྱ ཀཐིཏཝནྟ ཨེཥཱ ཀཐཱ པྲམཱཎམ྄།
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,
ཨདྷིཔཏཽ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུཾ པཽལཾ པྲཏཱིངྒིཏཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཏི ས ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ བྷཝཱན྄ བཧཱུན྄ ཝཏྶརཱན྄ ཡཱཝད྄ ཨེཏདྡེཤསྱ ཤཱསནཾ ཀརོཏཱིཏི ཝིཛྙཱཡ པྲཏྱུཏྟརཾ དཱཏུམ྄ ཨཀྵོབྷོ྅བྷཝམ྄།
11 seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
ཨདྱ ཀེཝལཾ དྭཱདཤ དིནཱནི ཡཱཏཱནི, ཨཧམ྄ ཨཱརཱདྷནཱཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམནགརཾ གཏཝཱན྄ ཨེཥཱ ཀཐཱ བྷཝཏཱ ཛྙཱཏུཾ ཤཀྱཏེ;
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.
ཀིནྟྭིབྷེ མཱཾ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ ཀེནཱཔི སཧ ཝིཏཎྜཱཾ ཀུཪྻྭནྟཾ ཀུཏྲཱཔི བྷཛནབྷཝནེ ནགརེ ཝཱ ལོཀཱན྄ ཀུཔྲཝྲྀཏྟིཾ ཛནཡནྟུཾ ན དྲྀཥྚཝནྟཿ།
13 Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཡསྨིན྄ ཡསྨིན྄ མཱམ྄ ཨཔཝདནྟེ ཏསྱ ཀིམཔི པྲམཱཎཾ དཱཏུཾ ན ཤཀྣུཝནྟི།
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;
ཀིནྟུ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱཀྱགྲནྠེ ཝྱཝསྠཱགྲནྠེ ཙ ཡཱ ཡཱ ཀཐཱ ལིཁིཏཱསྟེ ཏཱསུ སཪྻྭཱསུ ཝིཤྭསྱ ཡནྨཏམ྄ ཨིམེ ཝིདྷརྨྨཾ ཛཱནནྟི ཏནྨཏཱནུསཱརེཎཱཧཾ ནིཛཔིཏྲྀཔུརུཥཱཎཱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརམ྄ ཨཱརཱདྷཡཱམཱིཏྱཧཾ བྷཝཏཿ སམཀྵམ྄ ཨངྒཱིཀརོམི།
15 having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
དྷཱརྨྨིཀཱཎཱམ྄ ཨདྷཱརྨྨིཀཱཎཱཉྩ པྲམཱིཏལོཀཱནཱམེཝོཏྠཱནཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏཱིཏི ཀཐཱམིམེ སྭཱིཀུཪྻྭནྟི ཏཐཱཧམཔི ཏསྨིན྄ ཨཱིཤྭརེ པྲཏྱཱཤཱཾ ཀརོམི;
16 This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མཱནཝཱནཱཉྩ སམཱིཔེ ཡཐཱ ནིརྡོཥོ བྷཝཱམི ཏདརྠཾ སཏཏཾ ཡཏྣཝཱན྄ ཨསྨི།
17 Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
བཧུཥུ ཝཏྶརེཥུ གཏེཥུ སྭདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱནཱཾ ནིམིཏྟཾ དཱནཱིཡདྲཝྱཱཎི ནཻཝེདྱཱནི ཙ སམཱདཱཡ པུནརཱགམནཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
18 amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
ཏཏོཧཾ ཤུཙི རྦྷཱུཏྭཱ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སམཱགམཾ ཀལཧཾ ཝཱ ན ཀཱརིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཐཱཔྱཱཤིཡཱདེཤཱིཡཱཿ ཀིཡནྟོ ཡིཧུདཱིཡལོཀཱ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ མཱཾ དྷྲྀཏཝནྟཿ།
19 They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
མམོཔརི ཡདི ཀཱཙིདཔཝཱདཀཐཱསྟི ཏརྷི བྷཝཏཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ཏེཥཱམེཝ སཱཀྵྱདཱནམ྄ ཨུཙིཏམ྄།
20 Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
ནོཙེཏ྄ པཱུཪྻྭེ མཧཱསབྷཱསྠཱནཱཾ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སནྣིདྷཽ མམ དཎྜཱཡམཱནཏྭསམཡེ, ཨཧམདྱ མྲྀཏཱནཱམུཏྠཱནེ ཡུཥྨཱབྷི ཪྻིཙཱརིཏོསྨི,
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.'"
ཏེཥཱཾ མདྷྱེ ཏིཥྛནྣཧཾ ཡཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐཱམུཙྩཻཿ སྭརེཎ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཏདནྱོ མམ ཀོཔི དོཥོ྅ལབྷྱཏ ན ཝེཏི ཝརམ྄ ཨེཏེ སམུཔསྠིཏལོཀཱ ཝདནྟུ།
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."
ཏདཱ ཕཱིལིཀྵ ཨེཏཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏནྨཏསྱ ཝིཤེཥཝྲྀཏྟཱནྟཾ ཝིཛྙཱཏུཾ ཝིཙཱརཾ སྠགིཏཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ལུཥིཡེ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏཽ སམཱཡཱཏེ སཏི ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ ཝིཙཱརམ྄ ཨཧཾ ནིཥྤཱདཡིཥྱཱམི།
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.
ཨནནྟརཾ བནྡྷནཾ ཝིནཱ པཽལཾ རཀྵིཏུཾ ཏསྱ སེཝནཱཡ སཱཀྵཱཏྐརཎཱཡ ཝཱ ཏདཱིཡཱཏྨཱིཡབནྡྷུཛནཱན྄ ན ཝཱརཡིཏུཉྩ ཤམསེནཱཔཏིམ྄ ཨཱདིཥྚཝཱན྄།
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.
ཨལྤདིནཱཏ྄ པརཾ ཕཱིལིཀྵོ྅དྷིཔཏི རྡྲུཥིལླཱནཱམྣཱ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཡཱ སྭབྷཱཪྻྱཡཱ སཧཱགཏྱ པཽལམཱཧཱུཡ ཏསྱ མུཁཱཏ྄ ཁྲཱིཥྚདྷརྨྨསྱ ཝྲྀཏྟཱནྟམ྄ ཨཤྲཽཥཱིཏ྄།
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."
པཽལེན ནྱཱཡསྱ པརིམིཏབྷོགསྱ ཙརམཝིཙཱརསྱ ཙ ཀཐཱཡཱཾ ཀཐིཏཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ཕཱིལིཀྵཿ ཀམྤམཱནཿ སན྄ ཝྱཱཧརད྄ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཡཱཧི, ཨཧམ྄ ཨཝཀཱཤཾ པྲཱཔྱ ཏྭཱམ྄ ཨཱཧཱུསྱཱམི།
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.
མུཀྟིཔྲཔྟྱརྠཾ པཽལེན མཧྱཾ མུདྲཱདཱསྱནྟེ ཨིཏི པཏྱཱཤཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ས པུནཿ པུནསྟམཱཧཱུཡ ཏེན སཱཀཾ ཀཐོཔཀཐནཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
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.
