Acts 23
1 And Paul, looking steadfastly, at the High-council, said—Brethren! I, in all good conscience have used my citizenship for God until 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, ordered them that stood by him, to be smiting 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, unto him, said—God is about to be smiting thee, thou whited wall! Dost, thou, then sit to judge me according to the law, and, unlawfully, orderest me to be smitten?
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 who stood by, said—The High-priest of God, dost thou revile?
Heh re tiittiit chapte loong ah ih Pool suh li rumta, “An ih Rangte Romwah phokhothoon kaanju hu!”
5 And Paul said—I was not aware, brethren, that he was high-priest; because it is written—Of a ruler of thy people, shalt thou not speak injuriously.
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, getting to know that, the one part, were Sadducees and, the other, Pharisees, began to cry aloud in the council—Brethren! I, am, a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: —Concerning a hope, even of a rising again of the dead, am I to be judged.
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, as this he was saying, there arose a dissension of the Pharisees and Sadducees; and rent asunder was the throng.
Erah lih adi, Pharisi nyia Sadusis loong ah neng jaachi ni phang rookmui rum ano, dungnyi eh hoon rumta. (
8 For, Sadducees, say, there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, whereas, Pharisees, confess them 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 outcry, and certain of the Scribes of the party of the Pharisees, standing up, began to strive, saying—Nothing bad, find we in this man; —but, if a spirit hath spoken unto him, or a messenger…
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, great dissension arising, the captain, fearing lest Paul would be torn in pieces by them, ordered the troop to go down, and take him by force out of their midst, to 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 But, on the following night, the Lord, standing over him, said—Be of good courage! for, as thou hast fully borne witness of the things concerning me in Jerusalem, so must thou, in Rome also, bear witness.
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 became day, the Jews, forming a conspiracy, bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat nor drink till they had slain 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 they were, more than forty, who, this sworn-confederacy, had formed.
Erah mongtham hoonte miloong ah rookbaji nang eh ehan ang rumta.
14 And they went unto the High-priests and Elders, and said—With a curse have we bound ourselves, to taste, nothing, until we have slain 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 High-council, make it appear unto the captain, that he should bring him down unto you, as though about to ascertain more exactly the things that concern him; and, we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
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 lying-in-wait, happening to be near, and coming into the castle, —reported it unto Paul.
Enoothong erah kaankoong ah Pool diik heh nah sah rah ih japchaatta; eno sipaahi tongtheng adi wang ano Pool suh hubaat wanta.
17 And Paul, calling unto him one of the centurions, said—This young man, lead thou away unto the captain, for he hath somewhat to report unto 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 He, therefore, taking him with him, brought him unto the captain, and saith—The prisoner Paul, calling me unto him, requested me to bring this young man unto thee, as having somewhat to tell 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 And the captain, taking him by the hand, and going aside, began, privately, to ask—What is it which thou hast to report unto 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 request thee, that, to-morrow, thou wouldst bring, Paul, down into the High-council, as though about to ascertain something, more exact, 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 Thou, therefore, do not be persuaded by them, for there are lying in wait for him, from among them, more than forty men, —who, indeed, have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor drink, till they have killed him; and, now, are they ready, awaiting 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 captain, therefore, dismissed the young man, charging him—Unto no one, divulge thou, that, these things, thou hast shewed unto me.
Saahaap elong ah ih liita, “Ngah suh baat halang ah o suh uh nakbaat uh joh.” Eno jaaro ah kaat thukta.
23 And calling certain two of the centurions he said—Make ye ready two hundred soldiers, that they may journey as far as Caesarea, —and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by 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 beasts also provide, in order that, seating Paul thereon, they may bring him safely through unto 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 form: —
Eno saahaap elong ah ih Kobono Pheliks suh le ah raangmaat eta:
26 Claudius Lysias, unto the most excellent governor Felix, Joy!
“Elong elang Kludias Lisias, Kobono Pheliks: Jengkhaapse ra hala,
27 This man, having been apprehended by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I went down with the troop, and rescued; 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, being minded to find out the cause for which they were accusing him, [I took him down into their High-council],
Tiimthoi tiimlam di Jehudi loong ih mat eh jota erah ah jat suh ngeh ih neng Ngoongthum theng ni taatsiit kaattang.
29 whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law, but, of nothing worthy of death or bonds, to be charged.
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 But, when I was informed there would be a plot against the man, forthwith, I sent him unto thee, charging, his accusers also, to be speaking 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 So the soldiers, according to their orders, taking up Paul, brought him by night unto Antipatris;
Sipaahi loong ah dokchap eh rumta. Erah rangpheeja Pool ah Antipatris maang thokthok eh siitkaat rumta.
32 and, on the morrow, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, 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 the others, entering into Caesarea, and delivering the letter unto the governor, set, Paul also, before him.
Kaisaria ni thok rum ano Kobono asuh le ah chokoh; Pool ah thiinhaat koh eh rumta.
34 And, when he had read it, and asked out of what province he was, and learned that he was from Cilicia,
Kobono ih le ah sok ano Pool suh o haate ah ngeh ih chengta. Silisia haate ngeh ih jat ano,
35 I myself will hear thee in full, said he, whensoever, thine accusers also, are come; and gave orders that, in the palace of Herod, he should be kept under guard.
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.
