Acts 23

1 Paul looked straight at the Jewish council members and said: “My fellow Jews, all my life I have lived respecting our God, and I do not know of anything that I have done that I knew was wrong/evil.”

Hagi Poli'a kanisol vahe zamufi keankere'neno anage hu'ne, Nenafugate nagra magore hu'na havizana osu'noe. Fatgo huno ama' nagu'nagesare Anumzamofo avurera mani'na ena ama knarera ehanatue.

2 When Ananias the supreme priest [heard what Paul said], he commanded the men who were standing near Paul to hit him on the mouth.

Anagema higeno, ugagota pristi ne' Ananaisi'a anante oti'naza vaheku Polina agi ruhapatitma aheho huzmante'ne.

3 Then Paul said to Ananias, “God will punish you [(sg) for that], you hypocrite [MET]! You sit there and judge me, using the laws that [God gave Moses]. But you [yourself] disobey those laws, because you commanded me to be struck {[these men] to strike me} [without having proved that I have done anything that is wrong!]”

Anante Poli'a anage agrikura hu'ne, Anumzamo'a kagrira kahegahie. Kagra amega fatgo hu'na knare hu'noe nehananagi, kagu'afinka haviza hu'nane! Kagra amare mani'nenka kasegemo'ma hu'nere antenka refako hunenantane. Kasegea rutagarenka aheho hunka hunezmantano?

4 The men who were standing near Paul [rebuked him. They] said, “Are not you [(sg)] afraid to insult God’s [servant, our] supreme priest?”

Ana tva'onte oti'naza vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, kagra Anumzamofo hai pristi ne' huhaviza huntenaku nehampi? Hu'za hazageno,

5 Paul replied, “My fellow Jews, I [am sorry that I said that]. I did not know that the man [who told one of you to hit me] is the high priest. [If I had known that, I would not have insulted our supreme priest], because I [know that] it is written {[that Moses] wrote} [in our Jewish law], ‘Do not speak evil of any of your rulers!’”

Poli'a kenona zamire anage hu'ne, nenafugata ugagota pristi ne' mani'ne hu'na nagra ontahi'noe, na'ankure anage huno avon tafepina krente'ne, kagri vahete'ma kva hu'nea vahera huhavizana huonto hu'ne. (Eks-Ati 22:28.)

6 Paul realized that some of the [Council members] were Sadducees and others were Pharisees. So, [in order to cause the Pharisees and Sadducees to argue among themselves instead of accusing him], he called out loudly in the Council [hall], “My fellow Jews, I am a Pharisee, like my father was. I have been put {[You] have put me} on trial [here] because I confidently expect that [some day God] will (cause people who have died to become alive again/raise people from the dead).”

Anante Polima nezmagege'za anama eri tru hu'naza vahepina, Satusi vahe'ene mago'a Farisi vahe mani'nageno nezmageno, ranke huno anage hu'ne, Nafu naganaheta nagra Farisi neki, nenfa'a Farisi ne'mo kasenantege'na mani'noe. Nagri'ma kema hunenantazana, nagrama namentinti hu'na fripinti otigahie hu'na huazanku kea hunenantaze!

7 When he said that, the Pharisees and Sadducees started to argue with one another [about whether people who have died will become alive again or not].

Anage'ma hige'za, Farisi vahe'ene Satusi vahe'mo'za atruma hu'nafinti amu'nompinti refako hu'za ana kegu fra vazi'naze.

8 The Sadducees believe that after people die, they will not become alive again. They also believe that there are no angels and no [other kinds of] spirits. But the Pharisees believe [that all people who have died will one day become alive again. They also believe] that there are [angels and other kinds of spirits].

Na'ankure Satusi vahe'mo'za fripinti o'otigahie nehu'za, ankero vahera omanine nehu'za, avamura omani'ne hu'nazanagi, Farisi vahe'mo'za ana maka'zana me'ne hu'za antahi'naze.

9 So the Council members (were divided/did not agree with each other), and they began shouting at one another [as they argued]. Some of the teachers of the laws that [God gave Moses] who were Pharisees stood up. One of them said, “We [(exc)] think that this man has done nothing wrong.” Another said, “Maybe an angel or some [other] spirit [really] spoke to him [and what he says is true].”

Anampinti kezati'za ranke hu'za kea nehazage'za, mago'a Farisi nagapinti kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'mo'za oti'za hanave ke hu'za, Mago hazenke'a ama nera keta eri forera osu'none. Avamu'mo'o, ankeromo'ma kema huminesigeno'a na'a hugahie?

10 Then the [Pharisees and Sadducees] argued even more loudly [with one another]. As a result, the commander (was afraid/thought) that they would tear Paul to pieces. So he [commanded] soldiers to go down [from the barracks] and forcefully take Paul away from the Council members and bring him up into the barracks. [So the soldiers did that].

Tusi ke hafra nehazageno, Romu sondia kva ne'mo aru Poli avazu hu'za azeri taganape'zanku sondia vahera huzamanteno, uramitma Polina hanavetitma zamagripintira avaretma sondia vahe kumapi efareho hu'ne.

11 That night, [in a vision Paul saw] the Lord [Jesus come and] stand near him. The Lord said [to him], “Be courageous! You [(sg)] have told people [here] in Jerusalem about me, and you must tell people in Rome [about me], too.”

Ana kenage Ramo'a Polina tava'oma'are oti'neno anage huno asami'ne, Oti hanavetio, Jerusalema Nagri nagi nagenke huama hu'nanaza hunka Romu kumatera anazanke hunka ome huama hugahane.

12 The next morning [some] of the Jews [MTY] [who hated Paul] met secretly and talked [about how they could kill him]. They promised [themselves] that they would not eat or drink anything until they had killed him. They asked God to curse them [if they did not do what they promised].

Ko'atige'za nanterampi mago'a Jiu vahe'mo'za eri atru hu'za, hanave ke huvempa hu'za Polima ahesnaza naneke retro nehu'za, ne'zane tine a'o huta mani'neta Polina ahesunkeno frisnie, hu'za huhankaveti'za kea retro hu'naze.

13 There were more than 40 men who planned to do that.

Anampima nanekema hu'za retro'ma hu'nazana 40'a vahera agatere'za mani'ne'za retro hu'naze.

14 They went to the chief priests and [Jewish] elders and told them, “God has heard us promise/vow that we [(exc)] will not eat [or drink] anything until we [(exc)] have killed Paul.

Zamagra ugota pristi vahete'ene mono kva (elda) vahe'zagare vu'za anage ome hu'naze. Tagra kea huvempa huta mago'zana one'mani'neta, Polina ahe farigahune hu'za hu'naze.

15 So [we request that] you go to the commander and ask him, on behalf of the whole Jewish Council, to bring Paul down to us [from the barracks]. Tell the commander that you want to question Paul some more. But we [(exc)] will be waiting to kill Paul while he is on the way here.”

Hanki menina kagrane, kanisol vahe'motma sondia kva vaheku ke eri fatgo hugahunanki avreta eramiho hinke'za, avare'za eramisnageta, amare erava'o osu'nenageta kantega kavagrita mani'neta, ahe frisune.

16 But the son of Paul’s sister heard what they were planning to do, so he went into the barracks and told Paul.

Hianagi Polina nesaro ne' mofavremo ahegahune hazanke nentahino, eno sondia vahe kumapi efareno Polina kahe ke nehaze huno asami'ne.

17 [When Paul heard that], he called one of the officers and said to him, “[Please] take this young man to the commander, because he needs to tell him something [important].”

Poli'a mago kina vahete kva ne' (sensulien), ke huno asami'ne, Avarenka ama arisera ugagota sondia kva nete vuo, na'ankure mago'a kea agra ome asamigahie huno huntene.

18 So the officer took Paul’s nephew to the commander. The officer said to the commander, “That prisoner, Paul, called me and said, ‘Please take this young man to the commander, because he needs to tell him something [important].’”

Ana higeno hantreti'a sondia vahete kva ne'mo (sensulien, ) ana arisera avareno ugagota sondia kva nete vuno, Poli'a hunanteno avarenka ama arisera ugagota sondia kva ne'te vuo, na'ankure agra mago'a kea ome asamigahie, hige'na avare'na e'noe.

19 The commander took the young man by the hand, led him off by himself, and asked him, “What do you [(sg)] need to tell me?”

Ana ugagota sondia kva ne'mo azante avazuhuganti ataregene, zanagraku umani'neke, anage huno antahige'ne, Na'ane naneke nasaminaku hu'nane?

20 The young man said, “[There are some] [SYN] Jews who have planned to ask you [(sg)] to bring Paul before their Council tomorrow. They will say that they want to ask him some more questions. [But that is not true].

Ana arise'mo'a anage huno asami'ne, Jiu vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa nehu'za, havige hu'za kantahigesagenka Polina avarenka okina kanisol vahetega uramisanke'za, keaga refako hu'za mago'ene hake'za ke'naku hu'naze.

21 Do not do what they ask you [(sg)] to do, because there are more than 40 [Jewish] men who will be hiding and waiting [to attack Paul when he passes by on the way to the Council]. They even promised/vowed to God that they will not eat or drink anything until they have killed Paul. They are ready [to do it], and right now they are waiting for you [(sg)] to agree [to do what they are asking you to do].”

Ana hu'negu zamatrege'za anara osiho, na'ankure 40'a nazana agatere'naza vahe'mo'za ahe'nakura hu'naze. Zamagra kea huvempa hu'za, ne'zane tine oneneta ahe frigahune nehu'za menina zamagri kere'ma mago karimpa hananku, kavega ante'za mani'naze.

22 The commander said to [Paul’s] young nephew, “Do not tell anyone that you [(sg)] have told me [about their plan].” Then he sent the young man away.

Anante ugagota sondia kva ne'mo'a ana risera hunenteno, hamponage asamino, vanunka ama nanekea kva nera ome asami'noe hunka, mago'mofona osamitfa huo.

23 Then the commander called two of his officers and told them, “Get a group of 200 soldiers ready [to travel]. Take along 70 soldiers riding horses, and 200 other soldiers carrying spears. [All of you must be ready] to leave at nine o’clock tonight, to go [down] to Caesarea.

Anante ugagota sondia kva ne'mo, sondia vahete kva ne'tre (sensulien), ke higeke akeno, anage huno zanasmi'ne, 200'a sondia vahera huge'za Siseria kumate vugahazanki tro hiho, anampina 70'a hosifi vano nehu'za ha' nehaza sondia vaheki 200'a karugaru kevereti ha' nehaza sondia vaheki hu'za meni kenagera 9 kiloki vugahazanki tro hiho. Polina hosi afu'zagafintira mago'a amigeno agumpi manina avaretma kva huntetma, Gavana ne' Feliksinte viho huno zamasmi'ne.

24 And take along horses for Paul [and those accompanying him] to ride, and safely escort him to [the palace of] Governor Felix.”

Polina hosi afu'zagafintira mago'a amigeno agumpi manina avaretma kva huntetma Gavana ne' Feliksinte viho huno zamasmi'ne.

25 Then the commander wrote a letter [to send to the governor]. This is what he wrote:

Agra avoma kre'neana amanahu kante kre tre'ne,

26 “[I am] Claudius Lysias [writing to you]. You, Felix, are our governor whom we [(exc)] respect, [and I sincerely send you] my greetings.

Nagra Klautiusi Lisiasi'na, knare Gavana kva nemokarega Feliksiga musenke kre'negamue,

27 I [have sent you(sg)] this man, [Paul, because certain] Jews seized him and were about to kill him. But I heard [someone tell me] that he is a Roman citizen, so I and my soldiers went and rescued him.

Ama nera Jiu vahe'mo'za azeri'za ahe'za nehazage'na, sondia vahe'niane e'na aza hu'na avare'noe. Na'ankure nagrama antahuana Romu ne' mani'noe higeta avareta e'none.

28 I wanted to know what those Jews were saying that he had done wrong, so I took him to their Jewish Council.

Na'anteku nanekea hunentazo nagra antahinaku, zamagri kanisol vahete avare'na urami'noe.

29 I listened [while they asked this man questions and he answered them]. The things [they] accused him about were entirely concerned with their [Jewish] laws. But Paul has not disobeyed any of our [Roman] laws. [So our officials] should not execute him or [even] put him in prison [MTY].

Nagrama ke'na erifore'ma huana, zamagra'zimi kasegereku hu'za ke hakare hunte'naze. Hianagi ahe fri kankamune kina hunte kea kena eri fore osu'noe.

30 [Someone] told me that some [SYN] Jews were secretly planning to kill this man, so I immediately am sending him to you, [so that you(sg) may give him a fair trial there]. I have also [commanded] the Jews who have accused him to [go there to Caesarea and] tell you [(sg) what they are accusing him about].”

Ahenaku kema retro'ma haza naneke eme nenasmige'na, ama nera ame hu'na kagritega huntogeno ne-egena, ke ha'ma rentaza vahera magoka kagri kavure kea huntesazegu huzmantoge'za neaze huno krente'ne.

31 So the soldiers did what [the commander commanded] them, [taking this letter with them]. They [got Paul and] took him with them during the night [down] to Antipatris [city].

Ana hige'za sondia vahe'mo'za kema huzmantea kante ante'za, Polina avre'za kenageke Antipatrisi rankumate vunaku vu'naze.

32 The next day, the foot soldiers returned to the barracks [in Jerusalem], and the soldiers who rode horses went on with Paul.

Mase'za nantera hosifima vano hu'za ha' nehaza sondia vahera zamatrage'za avare'za vazage'za, mago'amo'za ete sondia vahe kumatega e'naze.

33 When the men escorting Paul arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor, and they delivered Paul to the governor. [Then the horsemen returned to Jerusalem].

Hosifima vano nehu'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'za Sisariama e'za ana avona Gavana ne'ma eme nemi'za, Polina eme ami'naze.

34 The governor read the letter, and then he said to Paul, “What province are you [(sg)] from?” [Paul answered], “I am from Cilicia [province].”

Ana Gavana ne'mo'ma avoma hamprino nentahino, anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra ina provinsifinti nere? Higeno Poli'a huno, Nagra Sirisia nere higeno antahiteno,

35 Then the governor said, “When the people who have accused you [(sg)] arrive, I will listen [to what each of you says] and then I will judge your case.” Then he [commanded] that Paul be guarded {[soldiers] to guard Paul} in the palace that King Herod [the Great had built].

anage hu'ne, kema hugante'naza vahe'ma esage'na, keka'a antahigahue. Higeno anante Heroti kina nompi Polina avaretma ome anteho hu'ne.
