Acts 24
1 After then five days came down the high priest Ananias with (of the *k*) elders (some *NO*) and an orator Tertullus certain, who made a representation to the governor against Paul.
Ni pangato oh pacoengah kalen koek qaima Ananias loe kacoehta thoemto kaminawk, lokthui kop Tertullus hoi nawnto angzoh moe, prae ukkung hma ah Pawl to zaehaih net o.
2 When was invited then he began to accuse Tertullus saying; Great peace we are attaining through you and (excellent reforms *N(K)O*) are being done to the nation this [one] through your foresight
Pawl to a thungah kawk o naah, Tertulla mah Filix hma ah Pawl kawng to thuih pae, na ukhaih thungah kamongta ah ka oh o, hae kaminawk mah kahoih na khokhanhaih to hnuk o,
3 in every way both and everywhere we gladly accept [it], most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
kahoih koek Filix, na hoihhaih to ahmuen kruekah kawnhaih hoiah ka talawk o poe.
4 In order that however not to any longer you I may be a hindrance, I implore to hear you us briefly in your kindness.
Toe tahngaih nang paqak pae han ai ah kang thuih o ih lok zetta hae, nang tahngaih pae thai hanah tahmenhaih kang hnik.
5 Having found for man this a pest and stirring (insurrections *N(K)O*) among all the Jews in the world a leader then of the of the Nazarenes sect;
Anih loe Nazareth bokhaih abu maeto zaehoikung ah oh moe, long pum ah kaom Judahnawk poekhaih amkhraeng hanah sahkung, hae kahoih ai kami hae ka hnuk o boeh:
6 who even the temple attempted to profane, whom also we seized (and according to our own law we wanted to judge. *K*)
hae kami loe tempul amhnongsak kami ah oh: anih hae ka naeh o moe, kaimacae ih daan baktiah lokcaek han ka koeh o.
7 (having come up now Lysias the commander with great violence from the hands of us being carried away, *K*)
Toe misatuh angraeng Lysia to kaicae khaeah angzoh moe, tha patohhaih hoiah kaicae ban thung hoi anih to lak ving,
8 (having commanded the accusers of him to come upon you; *K*) From him you will be able yourself having examined [him] concerning all these things to know of which we ourselves accuse him.
anih zae net kaminawk nang khaeah caeh o hanah a thuih pae; anih lok na caek naah, anih han ka net o ih hmuennawk to na panoek boih tih hmang, tiah a naa.
9 (Agreed *N(k)O*) then also the Jews declaring these things so to be.
Judah kaminawk mah doeh hae hmuennawk hae amsoem, tiah angdoet o haih.
10 Answered (then *N(k)O*) Paul, when was signalling to him the governor to speak: For many years as being you judge to nation this knowing [these] encouraging things, concerning myself I present a defense;
Prae ukkung mah lokthuih hanah Pawl to angmathaih paek naah, Pawl mah, Saning paroeai thung hae prae ukkung ah na oh, tito ka panoek, to pongah oephaih hoiah kaimah angvaenghaih lok ka thuih han:
11 Being able you (to know *N(k)O*) that not more there are to me days (than *k*) (twelve *N(k)O*) from which I went up to then worship (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem;
Sithaw bok hanah Jerusalem ah ka caehhaih ni loe hatlai hnetto mataeng doeh akoep ai vop, tito na panoek tih.
12 And neither in the temple did they find me with anyone reasoning or (obstruction *N(k)O*) making of a crowd nor in the synagogues nor in the city;
Kai loe sineko thungah maw, vangpui thungah maw, amkhueng kaminawk hoiah maw lok angaek, tito kai hnukung nihcae thungah om ai:
13 (nor *N(k)O*) to prove are they able (to you *N(K)O*) concerning [the things] of which (now *N(k)O*) they accuse me.
kai zae ang net o haih hmuennawk doeh nihcae mah amtueng o sak thai ai.
14 I confess however this to you that according to the Way which they name a sect so I serve the ancestral God believing in all [things] throughout the law and (that in *no*) the Prophets written,
Kai loe kam panawk ih Sithaw bok kami ah ka oh, toe nihcae mah loe kamsoem ai bokhaih ni, tiah a thuih o, tito na hma ah amtuengsak han ka koeh, kaalok Cabu hoi tahmaanawk mah tarik ih Cabu thungah kaom hmuennawk boih tang kami ah ka oh.
15 a hope having in God which also they themselves await, [that] a resurrection to ensue to then be (of [the] dead-*K*) of [the] just both and of [the] unjust;
Katoeng hoi katoeng ai kaminawk angthawk lethaih to om tih, tiah nihcae mah tang o baktih toengah, Sithaw ah oephaih tawn kami ah ka oh toeng.
16 In this (also *N(k)O*) I myself strive without offense a conscience (to have *NK(o)*) toward God and men (through *N(K)O*) (all [times]. *N(k)O*)
To pongah poekciim moe, Sithaw hoi kaminawk koeh ai ih hmuen sak han ai ah, tha pathok toepsoep kami ah ka oh.
17 After years now many alms to then bring to the nation of mine I came and offerings,
Saning paroeai laemh pacoengah, amtang kaminawk abomhaih hmuen hoi Sithaw khae tathlang ih hmuennawk to kaimah ih kaminawk paek hanah, Jerusalem vangpui ah ka caeh.
18 during (which *N(k)O*) they found me purified in the temple not with a crowd nor in tumult, Some however [are] from Asia Jews
Kami amkhuenghaih om ai, lok angaekhaih doeh om ai ah, tempul thungah ciimcaihaih ka sak naah, Asia prae thungah kaom Judahnawk mah kai ang hnuk o.
19 who (it was necessary *N(k)O*) before you to appear and to make accusation, if anything they would have against me myself.
To Judahnawk mah kai zae net han koeh o nahaeloe, hae ah na hma ah angzoh o han oh.
20 Otherwise themselves it they should say (if *k*) any they found (in me myself *ko*) unrighteousness when was standing I before the Council,
To tih ai boeh loe lokcaekhaih hma ah kang doet naah, ka sakpazaehaih hnu o nahaeloe, haeah kaom kaminawk mah thuih o han oh,
21 [other] than concerning one this voice which I cried out among them standing that Concerning [the] resurrection of [the] dead I myself am judged this day (by *N(k)O*) you.
kadueh kami angthawk lethaih om tih, tiah ka thuih pongah ni, vaihi na hma ah lokcaekhaih ka tongh, tiah lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah ka thuih ih lok khue ni, nihcae mah kai zaehaih net o thai tih, tiah a naa.
22 (having heard these things *K*) deferred then them Felix more precisely knowing the [things] concerning the Way having said; When Lysias the commander may have come down, I will examine the [things] as to you.
Filix mah hae lok to thaih naah, to loklam to kahoihah panoek pongah misatuh angraeng Lysia angzoh naah, nang kawng hae ka thuih han, tiah a naa moe, atue to pathuih pae.
23 having commanded (also *k*) to the centurion to keep (*k*) (him, *N(K)O*) to [let him] have then ease and not to forbid the private [friends] of him to minister (or to come near *K*) to him.
Misatuh cumvaito ukkung khaeah, Pawl to thongim pakhrah ai ah, kamhoe ah ohsak, anih khae paqai angmah ih ampuinawk mah caaknaek paek o naah, pakaa pae han ai ah lok a paek.
24 After then days some having arrived Felix with Drusilla the (own *N(k)O*) wife being a Jewess he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the in Christ (Jesus *NO*) faith.
Ni nazetto maw akra pacoengah, Filix loe Judah kami ah kaom, a zu Drusilla hoi nawnto angzoh, Pawl to kawksak pacoengah, Jesu Kri tanghaih kawng to a thuihsak, a thuih ih lok to anih mah tahngaih pae.
25 When reasoning then he concerning righteousness and self-control and the judgment which is coming (to be [in the future] *K*) frightened having become Felix answered; For the present being do go away; opportunity then having found I will call for you;
Pawl mah toenghaih, angsumhaih hoi angzo han koi lokcaekhaih kawng to thuih pae naah, Filix loe zit moe, vaihi loe hae zetto mah rae soe, caeh rae ah, atue kahoih ka hnuk naah, kang kawk let han hmang, tiah a naa.
26 At the same time (now *k*) also he is hoping that riches will be given to him by Paul (so that may release him *K*) Therefore also often him sending for he was talking with him.
Pawl mah loih thai hanah phoisa na paek tih, tiah a poek pongah, Pawl to kawk moe, lok apaeh haih toepsoep.
27 When two years however having been completed he received [as] successor Felix Porcius Festus, wishing then (favor *N(k)O*) to acquire for himself with the Jews Felix left Paul imprisoned.
Toe saning hnetto akoep pacoengah loe, Filix ih ahmuen to Porcius Festa mah lak: toe Filix loe Judah kaminawk palung tonghsak han koeh pongah, Paul to thongim ah pakhrak.
