Acts 23
1 And Paul looking earnestly upon the council, said: Brethren! I have ordered my life in all good conscience before God to this day.
Pool ih ngoomthumte loong taangko sok ano jengta, “Phoh ano Ijirel noksong! Chiinnyah tuk eh Rangte ngathong ni ngaathung ngaatak phanjangjang eh songtong lang.”
2 And the high-priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
Erah chaat ano Romwah phokhoh Ananias ih Pool reeni chapte loong asuh heh tui ni mangbot suh baat rumta.
3 Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, thou whited wall! Art thou then sitting to judge me according to the law, and dost thou command me to be smitten contrary to the law?
Eno Pool ih Romwah phokhoh asuh liita, “An lonoite—Rangte ih amiisak eh baangbuho! Erah di tong uno Hootthe ah pi uno dande hu, ang ah bah uh nga baangbot baat hu ah ih an thet haat hu!”
4 And they that stood by said, Dost thou revile God's high-priest?
Heh re tiittiit chapte loong ah ih Pool suh li rumta, “An ih Rangte Romwah phokhothoon kaanju hu!”
5 Then said Paul, I knew not, brethren, that he was high-priest; for it is written, “Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of thy people.”
Pool ih ngaakli rumta, “Phoh ano Ijirel noksong, Ngah ih Romwah phokhothoon ngeh ih tajattang. Rangteele ni liiha, ‘Mabah uh noksong pante suh an ih ethih lali theng.”
6 But Paul, perceiving one part to be Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried aloud in the council, Brethren! I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees; for the hope of the resurrection of the dead I am now tried.
Miloong dung ni mararah ah Pharisi, mararah ah Sadusi japtup rum ano, Ngoongthum theng ni Pool ih dokpoon rumta, “Ijirel phoh ano loong! Ngah Pharisi sah, Parisiite ah. Tek nawa ngaaksaat lidoh roidong na suh laalom thoidi ngah adi thaak poon rum halang!”
7 And when he had said this, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
Erah lih adi, Pharisi nyia Sadusis loong ah neng jaachi ni phang rookmui rum ano, dungnyi eh hoon rumta. (
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and no angel or spirit; but the Pharisees affirm both.
Sadusis loong ah ih liita mina tek nawa tangaak saatka, eno chiiala nyia heh kaamwah uh tajeeka; enoothong, Pharisi loong ah eh arah ejomjom hanpiiha.)
9 And there arose a great clamor; and scribes of the party of the Pharisees arose, and contended, saying, We find nothing amiss in this man; but if a spirit hath spoken to him or an angel—
Erah thoidi we we boot riiraak eh rumta, eno Pharisi nok hah mararah Hootthe nyootte loong ah toonchap rum ano thidokdok eh daan rumta: “Arah mina thih arah tatupke! Heh damdi chiiala nyia rangsah tam roongwaan kotaaja!”
10 And a great dissension arising, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the castle.
Choophaan phaan eh daanmui rum kano saahaap elong ah Pool maalek tek haat rumja oh ngeh ih choota. Erah thoidi heh bante loong ah datkhoom kah rum ano midung nawa Pool ah sipaahi tongtheng adi siitkaat thuk rumta.
11 And the night following, the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good courage; for as thou hast borne witness concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
Erah rangphe adi Pool ngathong ni Teesu ah chap ano heh suh baatta, “Nakcho uh! Jerusalem ni an nga haaki ang uh, eno Room nah uh emamah eh ang theng.”
12 And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Erah saalih adi Jehudi loong ah rangkhah di neng kaankoong tiit roongwaan suh khoontong rumta. Neng loong ah ih Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ih kakham rumta.
13 And there were more than forty who took this oath together.
Erah mongtham hoonte miloong ah rookbaji nang eh ehan ang rumta.
14 And 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.
Eno Romwah phokhothoon nyia mihak phokhoh loong asuh baatwan rumta, “Seng ih Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ih kakham hi joh.
15 Now therefore do ye with the council give notice to the chief captain, that he bring him down to you, as though ye were about to examine his case more thoroughly; and we are ready to kill him before he cometh near you.
Erah raangtaan ih Ngoong awang sen loong ah ih Room nok hah saahaap elong asuh Pool ah sen reenah toom siitkaat rumha ngeh ih maatbaat an, seng ih heh thoilam ah rapniine eh jat suh liihi ngeh ih diipli theng. Eno adoh maang thokra doh lam nah tek haat suh ban tong ih.”
16 But Paul's sister's son hearing of the plot went, and entering the castle, told Paul.
Enoothong erah kaankoong ah Pool diik heh nah sah rah ih japchaatta; eno sipaahi tongtheng adi wang ano Pool suh hubaat wanta.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Take this young man to the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.
Eno Pool ih saahaap wasiit ah poon ano baatta, “Arah jaaro ah saahaap elong jiinnah siitwan uh; heh ih tiim atiim baat theng eje tih.”
18 So he took him and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to thee, as he hath something to say to thee.
Erah saahaap ah ih, elong ah reeni siitwan ano, baat wanta, “Pool phaatak ni sak hi eno heh ih poon hangno arah jaaro ah an reeni siitwan thuk halang, heh ih an suh tiim atiim baat theng eje tih.”
19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand and went aside privately, and asked him, What is it that thou hast to tell me?
Saahaap ah ih heh lakni heh re tiittiit eh, johoom ano chengta, “Ngah suh tiimjaat baat theng ah.”
20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though thou wert about to inquire more thoroughly concerning him.
Eno jaaro ah ih baatta, “Jehudi dowa ngoong awang loong ah roongwaan rumta, rangkhah noksong reenah Pool siitkaat theng ngeh ih diipli rum ano, suwang rumho noksong ih heh thoilam ah rapniine eh jat suh li rumha tih ngeh ah.
21 But do not thou yield to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with an oath neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him; and they are now ready, looking for the promise from thee.
Eno an ih nakmok boichaat uh, mih rookbaji nang eh ehan heh bansokte hutong rum ah. Neng ih kakham rumha Pool maang tek haat haat tiim uh lajok phaksat theng ngeh ah. Neng loong ah ih amadi an jengkhaap bansok halu.”
22 The chief captain then dismissed the young man with the charge, Tell no one that thou hast disclosed these things to me.
Saahaap elong ah ih liita, “Ngah suh baat halang ah o suh uh nakbaat uh joh.” Eno jaaro ah kaat thukta.
23 And he called to him two of the centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at the third hour of the night;
Eno saahaap elong ah ih saahaap wanyi poon ano baat nyuuta, “Kaisiria nah kaat suh sipaahi chaanyi, moksiitte rooksinat, pah piite chaanyi ban khookhaam an, niikja saapoot akhuh doh dokchap theng.
24 and provide beasts, whereon they may set Paul, and carry him safe to Felix the governor.
Pool raangtaan ih mok ah koh anno Kobono Pheliks reenah eseetham eh thoksiit an.”
25 And he wrote a letter after this manner:
Eno saahaap elong ah ih Kobono Pheliks suh le ah raangmaat eta:
26 Claudius Lysias to the moss excellent governor Felix, greeting.
“Elong elang Kludias Lisias, Kobono Pheliks: Jengkhaapse ra hala,
27 This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them; but I came upon them with the soldiery, and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
Jehudi loong ah ih arah mina ah joh ano tek haat taat eh rumta. Ngah ih chaattang heh Room nok hah, erah thoidi sipaahi loong ah siit angno pang wangtang.
28 And wishing to know the crime of which they accused him, I brought him down to their council;
Tiimthoi tiimlam di Jehudi loong ih mat eh jota erah ah jat suh ngeh ih neng Ngoongthum theng ni taatsiit kaattang.
29 but I found him to be accused only on account of questions of their law, and to have nothing laid to his charge deserving death or bonds.
Eno Pool tek haat theng nyia phaatak nah saktheng abah ngah ih tajat jokang; neng ih mat eh joha abah neng Hootthe chengmui thoidi.
30 And having been informed of a plot against the man, I sent him at once to thee, and directed his accusers also to bring their charges against him before thee.
Eno Pool tek haat suh kaankoong rumha ngeh ih chaat angno, lakdamdam eh an reeni wang thuk suh liitang. Mat eh deejootte loong asuh tiit ah an reenah hoon theng ngeh ih baat rum hang.”
31 Then the soldiers, as was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
Sipaahi loong ah dokchap eh rumta. Erah rangpheeja Pool ah Antipatris maang thokthok eh siitkaat rumta.
32 But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go on with him, and returned to the castle.
Erah saalih adi neng lah ih kaatte arami loong ah sipaahi tongtheng ni ngaakwang rumta eno moksiitte loong ah Pool damdoh wakkaat thuk suh erah ni thiinhaat rumta.
33 And they, when they had come to Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Kaisaria ni thok rum ano Kobono asuh le ah chokoh; Pool ah thiinhaat koh eh rumta.
34 And having read the letter, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,
Kobono ih le ah sok ano Pool suh o haate ah ngeh ih chengta. Silisia haate ngeh ih jat ano,
35 he said, I will hear thee fully, when thy accusers also have arrived. And he ordered him to be kept in Herod's palace.
liita, “An mat eh jootte loong thok ha doh tiit ah ma paat ih.” Eno Pool ah sipaahi loong asuh Kobono tongta nok adi ban thuk rumta.
