Acts 24
1 AND after five days Hanania the great priest came down with the elders, and with Tartelos a rhetor, and informed the governor against Paulos.
Hnin nga phoeiah khosoihham Ananias neh a ham rhoek hlangvang, Tertullus kah hlangcal pakhat te ha pawk. Amih loh Paul te khoboei taengah a phoe uh.
2 And being called, Tartelos came forth to accuse him, and said, For many years have we dwelt (in peace) through thee, and many reformations have been made for this people in the bearing of thy office;
Te vaengah anih aka paelnaeh te Terttullus loh pahoi a khue tih, “Nang lamloh ngaimongnah muep ka dang uh tih, na khokhannah lamloh namtom he picainah la coeng.
3 and all we in every place receive thy bounty, victorious Felix.
Hlangcong Phelix tah uemonah boeih neh khotomrhali boeih ah ka doe uh.
4 But, not to weary thee with many (words), I pray thee to hear our humbleness with brevity.
Tedae nang puet kan toehoeih pawt ham khaw kodonah neh kaimih taengah bawt na hnatun ham kam bih.
5 For we have found this man to be a destroyer, and an exciter of agitation among all the Jihudoyee, and in all the land: for he is a chief of the doctrine of the Natsroyee,
Hekah hlang he duektahaw lamni ka hmuh uh. Lunglai pumkah Judah rhoek boeih te olpungnah neh a vueh tih Nazareth buhlaelh kah a lu la om.
6 and he willed to pollute our temple; and having apprehended him, we sought to judge him according to our law;
Anih long he bawkim khaw poeih ham a cuekcawn dongah ni amah khaw ka tuuk uh.
7 but Lusios the tribune came, and with great force transferred him from our hands,
Kaimih loh anih ka paelnaeh uh te,
8 and hath sent him unto thee, and commanded his accusers to come to thee; and thou canst by questioning him learn from him concerning all these things of which we accuse him.
boeih ming van ham anih lamkah he namah long ni na cae thai eh.
9 The Jihudoyee themselves also contended against him, saying, that so these things were.
Te tlam te om sak ham a ti uh dongah Judah rhoek long khaw a kotluep uh,” a ti nah.
10 And the governor signed to Paulos to speak. And Paulos answered, and said, For many years I know that thou hast been the judge of this people, and on this account I joyfully make defence for myself;
Khoboei kah a mikhip te Paul loh a doo tih, “Namtom taengah he kum te yet laitloekkung la na om dongah, kai kah ka huul uh kawng he phaeng hmat mai.
11 while thou shouldst know that it hath not been more than twelve days since I went up to Urishlem to worship.
Jerusalem la ka cet tih ka bawk, te lamloh hnin hlainit pataeng puet ka om pawt te na ming thai.
12 Neither found they me speaking with any man in the temple, neither have I gathered an assembly in their synagogue nor in the city;
Bawkim khuiah khat khat neh ka oelh uh khaw, tunim neh kho takuem ah hlangping a thinrhihnah ham ka saii khaw a hmuh uh heet moenih.
13 nor is it in their power to demonstrate before thee any thing of what they accuse me.
Tahae kah kai m'paelnaeh uh kawng te khaw namah taengah a tueng sak uh thai moenih.
14 Nevertheless, this do I confess, that in that very doctrine of which they speak, in it serve I the God of my fathers, believing in all that is written in the law and in the prophets,
Tedae pacut Pathen te ka bawk dongah a longim neh nang taengah buhlaelh n'ti na uh te khaw ka ming. Kai tah olkhueng neh tonghma cabu khuiah a daek vanbangla boeih ka tangnah.
15 and having hope in Aloha that which they also hope: that there shall be a resurrection from the house of the dead, of the just and of the evil.
Pathen taengah ngaiuepnah aka khueh amamih rhoek long khaw aka dueng neh aka halang taengah om la aka cai thohkoepnah te ni a lamtawn uh.
16 Because of this also I labour to have a good conscience before Aloha and before men, continually.
Te dongah Pathen neh hlang taengah a cuemhmuet la mingcimnah khueh yoeyah ham ni kamah khaw ka cue uh.
17 But after many years I came to the sons of my people to bestow alms, and to present an oblation.
Kum te yet te ka namtu taengah doedannah ka saii tih hmueih nen khaw ka pawk hmaih.
18 And these found me in the temple being purified, not with a concourse nor with tumult; but men Jihudoyee who had come from Asia raised a tumult;
Bawkim khuiah ka ciim uh te m'hmuh vaengah hlangping nen pawt tih, olpungnah moenih.
19 (and) these it behoved to stand with me before thee, and to accuse of that whatever they have (against me).
Tedae Asia lamkah Judah hlangvang khaw om ngawn. Kai m'paelnaeh thil ham khaw khat khat ni a. khueh uh atah amamih te namah hmaiah a om ham a kuek.
20 Or let these themselves declare, what crime they found in me, when I stood before their assembly,
Te phoeiah kai kah boethae a kungsut la a hmuh uh te khoboei hmaiah amamih rhoek loh thui uh saeh.
21 unless for this one word which I proclaimed while standing in the midst of them, For the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day before you.
Aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah kawng neh amih ka pai thil ka pang thil. Te phoeiah ol kamat khaw ka cal moenih. Te dongah ni tihnin ah kai he nangmih loh lai nan tloek thil uh,” a ti nah.
22 But Felix, because he knew this way fully, delayed them, saying, When the tribune comes I will hear between you.
Tedae a longim te tuektuek a ming vaengah Phelix loh amih te a dang pah tih, “Rhalboeipa Lusias ha pawk vaengah nangmih ham lai ka cae bitni,” a ti nah.
23 And he commanded the centurion to keep Paulos in quietude, and that none of his acquaintances should be hindered from ministering to him.
Anih aka tawt ham neh anih aka khut te rholrhak pawt ham neh hilhoemnah khueh pah ham rhalboei te a uen.
24 And after a few days Felix, and Drusilla his wife, who was a Jihudoytha, sent and called Paulos, and they heard from him concerning the faith of the Meshiha.
Tedae khohnin bet a di phoeiah Phelix neh a yuu Judah nu la aka om Drusilla tah ha pawk rhoi tih Paul te a tah rhoi. Te vaengah Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah kawng te a taengah a yaak.
25 And as he discoursed with them of righteousness, and of holiness, and of the judgment which is to come, Felix was filled with fear, and he said, Now go, and when I have opportunity I will send for thee.
Te dongah duengnah, kuemsuemnah, aka lo ham laitloeknah kawng te a thuingong pah vaengah Phelix tah lakueng ngaiha la om tih, “Tahae atah na caeh ham om mai coeng, a tue te ka dang vaengah nang te kang khue bitni,” a ti nah.
26 For he hoped that a bribe would be given him by Paulos, and on this account he continually sent to bring him, and to speak with him.
Tedae anih te Paul loh tangka khaw m'paek mai ni tila a ngaiuep pahoi. Te dongah Paul te puet a tah tih a taengah ol a thui pah.
27 And when two years were fulfilled to him, another governor came in his place, who was called Porcios Festos. But Felix, as to do a favour to the Jihudoyee, left Paulos bound.
Kumhnih a cup vaengah Phelix kah rhaenghmuen te Phesto Porkio loh a loh. Te vaengah Phelix loh Judah rhoek taengah lungvatnah tueng sak a ngaih dongah Paul te a khoh tih a caehtak.
