Acts 24
1 Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with the elders and an attorney named Tertullus. They presented their case against Paul to the governor.
Na ayiri atat in kata, Ananiyas udya na Priest, among akune nin, nin mong una yirun liru lissame Teritullus, nya udu kite. Ale anite da nin vurun liru litin Bulus.
2 When Paul had been summoned, Tertullus began to present his case before Felix, saying, “Since we have experienced much peace because of yoʋ, and prosperity is coming to this nation by yoʋr foresight,
Na Bulus in yissina in bun gumne, Teritullus tunna aghanan vurzughe in liru aworo ugumne, “Bara fe tidi nin lissosin limang; tutung ukpiluzung in bunfe in danin nimon icene in nmyen bit;
3 both in every way and in every place we acknowledge it, most excellent Felix, with the utmost gratitude.
nani nin godo udya tikpana vat nin nimon ilenge na usu, Felix uniti udindya.
4 But so that I may not detain yoʋ any further, I request that, in yoʋr forbearance, yoʋ would hear us briefly.
Bara na ayedi in yissafi kang ba, indin potufi acara, lanzai baat nin kunene.
5 For we have found this man to be a pestilent fellow, an instigator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
Bara tikpaghe nin kulapin tizu na Yahudawa vat nanya nyii inari uduka. Amere udya nanan dortu kunan Nazeret.
6 He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we seized him.
Amani mala uti kutii inlira kudyawe facak; unare tinani kpaghe.
Amma ugo likume Lisiyas wa dak, a da kpalkinghe nin likara na cara bite.
8 By examining him yoʋrself yoʋ will be able to learn the truth about all these accusations we are making against him.”
Asa utiro Bulusku kitenen tipinpin tone, fewang manin yinnu imon irika na tidin bellu litime.”
9 The Jews also joined in the accusation, claiming that these things were so.
A Yahudawe ligowe vat joro Bulus iworo, uliru ulele kidegenghari.
10 When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul responded, “Knowing that yoʋ have been a judge over this nation for many years, I all the more cheerfully make my defense concerning these charges against me.
Ama na ugumne woro Bulus ku alirin, Bulus kawa, “Inyinno nwo fedi unan mawucuwucu nmyen mone inworsu, bara nani nin kibinayi kibo inma bell uliru litining.
11 Yoʋ can ascertain that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
Use uyinnu in woro na isa kata ayiri likure nin naba ba nin duning u'Urushalima indi su usujada;
12 Neither in the temple courts, nor in the synagogues, nor anywhere in the city did they find me arguing with anyone or stirring up a crowd.
na inung wase mengku nanya kutii in lira kudywe, na meng wasu mayardang nin mong mine ba, tutung na meng na tulu ligozin nanit ba, na inansu nani kutii in lira kudywe ba, a na inna su nani nanya kagbri ba;
13 Nor can they offer any proof against me concerning the things of which they now accuse me.
tutung na inung wasa durofi ulire na idin vuszi mung ba nene.
14 But I confess this to yoʋ, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, I serve the God of our fathers, believing everything that is written throughout the Law and in the Prophets,
Ama meng yinna nbunfe nworu, kitene libauwe na inung din yiccu umon ubi, in loli libau lirumere ndin su Kutelle nacif ning katwa. Meng di lau nanya vat nimon ile na idin duka nin nana liru nin nuu Kutelle.
15 having a hope in God, which these men themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the unrighteous.
Meng dinin yinnu urumere kiti Kutelle, nafo na ale anite din caa ndakin fituzu nanan kul, nan vat nanit alau nin nanan dinong;
16 Because of this I strive the way I do, always having a clear conscience before God and men.
tutung nanya nile imon, ndi katwa nwo in yitta nin kibinayin sali nalapi nbun Kutelle nin nanit nanyan vat nimon.
17 After being away for many years, I came to bring charitable gifts to my nation along with offerings.
Nene kimalin katu nakus gbardan inna dak nin bunnu udya a ufillu nikubu bara anit ning.
18 While I was doing this, some Jews from Asia found me in the temple courts as I was completing the rite of purification, without any crowd or commotion.
Na nwa din sunani, among a Yahudawa in Asiya wasei nanya lidun kusu litining nanya kutii inlire, na nwa di nin ligozin sa ufiu nayi ba.
19 They ought to be here before yoʋ and make an accusation if they have anything against me.
Ale anite na idin bunfe, na ibellin imon irika na idumun kibinayi ninmi, adi idimun nimonimon.
20 Or these men themselves should state what wrongdoing they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
Sa na anit alele bellin utanu ule na inasei mun kubi ko nq nwq yissin kudaru na Yahudawe;
21 other than this one thing that I cried out while standing among them: ‘It is regarding the resurrection of the dead that I am being tried by you today.’”
andi na macas ile imon irume na nwa ghatin liwui nbelle kube na nwa yissin nbun mine, 'Ubelen fitu nanan kularita udi mawucuwucu kitimone.'”
22 After hearing these things, Felix, who knew the facts concerning the Way in great detail, had them adjourn, saying, “When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case.”
Iwa bellu Felix ku gegeme kitene libauwe, bara nani ata a Yahudawe so ncaa. Aworo, “Vat kubi ko na Lasiya udya nasoje da unuzun Urushalima imanin wusu uliru mine.”
23 Then he ordered the centurion to keep Paul in custody, but to allow him a certain measure of freedom and not to prevent his own people from attending to his needs or visiting him.
Anin woro kusoje asu ucaa in Bulus, tutung na awayita gangang ba, yenje awa nazu adondon me nin bunghe sa uda lissughe.
24 After several days, when Felix came back with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ.
Na ayiri baat in kata, Felix kpila nin Durisilla uwani me, kunan Jewess, anin to iyiccila Bulus ku, anin lanza kitime ubelle yinnu sa uyenu kitene Kristi Yesu.
25 But as Paul was discussing righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said in response, “Go away for now, and when I get an opportunity I will call for yoʋ.”
Ama na Bulus lira ninghe kitene lissosin lilau, ukifu litin, nin dakin shara, fiu kpa Felix ku; anin kawa, “Can nene, asa nse kubi tutung inma yicculu fi.”
26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would give him money, so that he might release him. So he would send for Paul quite often and converse with him.
Kubi kurum kone, awadin su Bulus ma ninghe ikurfu, unare asa to idak ninghe anin lira ninghe.
27 But after two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in prison.
Ama na akusu aban kata, posiyus Fistus so ugumna kimal in Felix, Felix wadi ninsu ase useru kitin na Yahudawa, asuna Bulus ku alii ubun nanya tursu.
