Acts 23

1 Having looked intently then Paul at the Council he said; Men brothers, I myself in all conscience good have lived as a citizen to God unto this day.

sabhaasadlokaan prati paulo. ananyad. r.s. tyaa pa"syan akathayat, he bhraat. rga. naa adya yaavat saralena sarvvaanta. hkara. nene"svarasya saak. saad aacaraami|

2 Then the high priest Ananias commanded to those standing by him to strike of him the mouth.

anena hanaaniiyanaamaa mahaayaajakasta. m kapole cape. tenaahantu. m samiipasthalokaan aadi. s.tavaan|

3 Then Paul to him said; To strike you is about God, wall whitewashed! And you yourself do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating law you command me to be struck?

tadaa paulastamavadat, he bahi. spari. sk. rta, ii"svarastvaa. m praharttum udyatosti, yato vyavasthaanusaare. na vicaarayitum upavi"sya vyavasthaa. m la"nghitvaa maa. m praharttum aaj naapayasi|

4 Those who now standing by said; The high priest of God do you insult?

tato nika. tasthaa lokaa akathayan, tva. m kim ii"svarasya mahaayaajaka. m nindasi?

5 Was saying then Paul; Not I had known, brothers, that he is high priest; it has been written for (that *no*) [The] ruler of the people of you not you will speak evil [of].’

tata. h paula. h pratibhaa. sitavaan he bhraat. rga. na mahaayaajaka e. sa iti na buddha. m mayaa tadanyacca svalokaanaam adhipati. m prati durvvaakya. m maa kathaya, etaad. r"sii lipirasti|

6 Having known then Paul that the one part consists of Sadducees but the other of Pharisees (he was crying out *N(k)O*) in the Council; Men brothers, I myself a Pharisee am, [the] son (of Pharisees; *N(K)O*) concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged.

anantara. m paulaste. saam arddha. m siduukilokaa arddha. m phiruu"silokaa iti d. r.s. tvaa proccai. h sabhaasthalokaan avadat he bhraat. rga. na aha. m phiruu"simataavalambii phiruu"sina. h satnaana"sca, m. rtalokaanaam utthaane pratyaa"saakara. naad ahamapavaaditosmi|

7 This then of him (saying *N(k)(o)*) arose a dissension between the Pharisees and (of the *k*) Sadducees, and was divided the crowd.

iti kathaayaa. m kathitaayaa. m phiruu"sisiduukino. h paraspara. m bhinnavaakyatvaat sabhaayaa madhye dvau sa. mghau jaatau|

8 Sadducees indeed for say not there to be resurrection (neither [to be] *N(k)O*) angel nor [to be] spirit; Pharisees however confess both.

9 Arose then a clamor great; and having risen up (some *NO*) (of the scribes *N(k)O*) of the party of the Pharisees they were contending saying; No [thing] evil we find in man this; What if now a spirit has spoken to him or an angel (Surely we shall be fighting God? *K*)

10 great then (is becoming *N(k)O*) dissension, (having feared *N(k)O*) the commander lest may be torn to pieces Paul by them he commanded the troop (having gone down *NK(o)*) (and *k*) to take by force him from midst of them, to bring [him] then into the barracks.

11 But on the following night having stood by him the Lord said; Take courage (Paul; *k*) as for you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, thus you it behooves also in Rome to testify.

raatro prabhustasya samiipe ti. s.than kathitavaan he paula nirbhayo bhava yathaa yiruu"saalamnagare mayi saak. sya. m dattavaan tathaa romaanagarepi tvayaa daatavyam|

12 When it was becoming then day having made a conspiracy (the Jews *N(k)O*) put under an oath themselves declaring neither to eat nor to drink until that they may kill Paul.

dine samupasthite sati kiyanto yihuudiiyalokaa ekamantra. naa. h santa. h paula. m na hatvaa bhojanapaane kari. syaama iti "sapathena svaan abadhnan|

13 There were now more than forty this plot (having made; *N(k)O*)

catvaari. m"sajjanebhyo. adhikaa lokaa iti pa. nam akurvvan|

14 who having come to the chief priests and to the elders said; With an oath we have bound ourselves nothing to eat until that we may kill Paul.

te mahaayaajakaanaa. m praaciinalokaanaa nca samiipa. m gatvaa kathayan, vaya. m paula. m na hatvaa kimapi na bhok. syaamahe d. r.dhenaanena "sapathena baddhvaa abhavaama|

15 Now therefore you yourselves do make a report to the commander along with the Council, so that (tomorrow *K*) he may bring down him (to *N(k)O*) you as being about to examine more earnestly the [things] about him; we ourselves then before drawing near of him ready we are to execute him.

16 Having heard however the son of the sister of Paul (of the ambush, *N(k)O*) having come near and having entered into the barracks he reported [it] to Paul.

tadaa paulasya bhaagineyaste. saamiti mantra. naa. m vij naaya durga. m gatvaa taa. m vaarttaa. m paulam uktavaan|

17 Having called to [him] then Paul one of the centurions he was saying; young man this (do take *NK(o)*) to the commander; he has for to report something to him.

tasmaat paula eka. m "satasenaapatim aahuuya vaakyamidam bhaa. sitavaan sahasrasenaapate. h samiipe. asya yuvamanu. syasya ki ncinnivedanam aaste, tasmaat tatsavidham ena. m naya|

18 The [one] indeed therefore having taken him he brought [him] to the commander and he says; The prisoner Paul having called to me he asked [me] this (young man *N(k)O*) to lead to you having something to say to you.

tata. h sa tamaadaaya sahasrasenaapate. h samiipam upasthaaya kathitavaan, bhavata. h samiipe. asya kimapi nivedanamaaste tasmaat bandi. h paulo maamaahuuya bhavata. h samiipam enam aanetu. m praarthitavaan|

19 Having taken hold then of the hand of him the commander and having withdrawn in private he was inquiring: What is it that you have to report to me?

tadaa sahasrasenaapatistasya hasta. m dh. rtvaa nirjanasthaana. m niitvaa p. r.s. thavaan tava ki. m nivedana. m? tat kathaya|

20 He said then that The Jews have agreed to ask you that tomorrow Paul you may bring down into the Council as (it being about *N(K)(O)*) something more earnestly to inquire about him.

tata. h sokathayat, yihuudiiyalaakaa. h paule kamapi vi"se. savicaara. m chala. m k. rtvaa ta. m sabhaa. m netu. m bhavata. h samiipe nivedayitu. m amantrayan|

21 You yourself therefore not may be persuaded by them, Lie in wait indeed for him of them men more than forty, who was put under an oath themselves neither to eat nor to drink until that they may execute him and now they are ready awaiting the from you promise.

kintu mavataa tanna sviikarttavya. m yataste. saa. m madhyevarttina"scatvaari. m"sajjanebhyo. adhikalokaa ekamantra. naa bhuutvaa paula. m na hatvaa bhojana. m paana nca na kari. syaama iti "sapathena baddhaa. h santo ghaatakaa iva sajjitaa idaanii. m kevala. m bhavato. anumatim apek. sante|

22 Indeed therefore [the] commander dismissed the (young man *N(k)O*) having instructed [him] No one to tell that these things you reported to me.

yaamimaa. m kathaa. m tva. m niveditavaan taa. m kasmaicidapi maa kathayetyuktvaa sahasrasenaapatista. m yuvaana. m vis. r.s. tavaan|

23 And having called to [him] two certain of the centurions he said; do prepare soldiers two hundred so that they may go as far as Caesarea and horsemen seventy and spearmen two hundred for [the] third hour of the night,

anantara. m sahasrasenaapati rdvau "satasenaapatii aahuuyedam aadi"sat, yuvaa. m raatrau praharaikaava"si. s.taayaa. m satyaa. m kaisariyaanagara. m yaatu. m padaatisainyaanaa. m dve "sate gho. takaarohisainyaanaa. m saptati. m "saktidhaarisainyaanaa. m dve "sate ca janaan sajjitaan kuruta. m|

24 Mounts then providing so that having set upon [them] Paul they may bring [him] safely to Felix the governor;

paulam aarohayitu. m phiilik. saadhipate. h samiipa. m nirvvighna. m netu nca vaahanaani samupasthaapayata. m|

25 having written a letter (having *N(k)O*) form this:

apara. m sa patra. m likhitvaa dattavaan tallikhitametat,

26 Claudius Lysias To the most excellent governor Felix Greeting.

mahaamahima"sriiyuktaphiilik. saadhipataye klaudiyalu. siyasya namaskaara. h|

27 man this having been seized by the Jews and being about to be executed by them, having come up with the troop I rescued (him *k*) having learned that a Roman he is;

yihuudiiyalokaa. h puurvvam ena. m maanava. m dh. rtvaa svahastai rhantum udyataa etasminnantare sasainyoha. m tatropasthaaya e. sa jano romiiya iti vij naaya ta. m rak. sitavaan|

28 Resolving (then to know *N(k)O*) the charge on account of which they were accusing him I brought down (him *k*) to the council of them;

kinnimitta. m te tamapavadante tajj naatu. m te. saa sabhaa. m tamaanaayitavaan|

29 whom I found being accused concerning questions of the law of them, not however [of anything] worthy of death or of chains having accusation.

30 When was being disclosed then to me a plot that against the man (to be about to *k*) going to happen (by the Jews *K*) (at once *NK(O)*) I sent [him] to you having instructed also to the accusers to speak the [things] against him before you. (Farewell! *KO*)

31 Indeed therefore [the] soldiers according to that ordered them having taken Paul brought [him] through (*k*) night to Antipatris.

sainyaga. na aaj naanusaare. na paula. m g. rhiitvaa tasyaa. m rajanyaam aantipaatrinagaram aanayat|

32 On the now next day having allowed the horsemen (to go *N(k)O*) with him they returned to the barracks;

pare. ahani tena saha yaatu. m gho. takaaruu. dhasainyaga. na. m sthaapayitvaa paraav. rtya durga. m gatavaan|

33 who having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor presented also Paul to him.

tata. h pare gho. takaarohisainyaga. na. h kaisariyaanagaram upasthaaya tatpatram adhipate. h kare samarpya tasya samiipe paulam upasthaapitavaan|

34 Having read [it] then (governor *k*) and having asked from what province he is and having learned that from Cilicia [he is],

tadaadhipatistatpatra. m pa. thitvaa p. r.s. thavaan e. sa kimprade"siiyo jana. h? sa kilikiyaaprade"siiya eko jana iti j naatvaa kathitavaan,

35 I will hear fully you, he was saying, when also the accusers of you may have arrived. (having commanded *N(k)O*) (then *k*) in the Praetorium of Herod to be guarded him.
