Acts 24
1 Five days later Ananias the high priest, [having heard that Paul was now in Caesarea], went down [there from Jerusalem], along with some [other Jewish] elders and a lawyer [whose name was] Tertullus. There they formally told the governor what Paul had done [that they considered] wrong.
Pagkahuman sa lima ka adlaw, si Ananias ang pangulong pari, uban nga mga kadagkoan, ug usa ka mamumulong nga ginganlan ug Tertulo, miadto didto. Kini nga mga tawo nagdala ug mga sumbong batok kang Pablo ngadto sa gobernador.
2 [The governor commanded] Paul to be brought {[a soldier] to bring Paul} in. [When Paul arrived], Tertullus began to accuse him. He said [to the governor], “Honorable Governor Felix, during the many years that you [(sg)] have ruled us, we [(exc)] have lived well/peacefully. By planning wisely, you have improved many things in this province.
Sa dihang si Pablo mitindog sa atubangan sa gobernador, si Tertulo nagsugod ug pasangil kaniya ug miingon ngadto sa gobernador, “Tungod kanimo aduna kami dakong kalinaw; ug ang imong layo nga panglantaw nagdala ug maayong kabag-ohan sa atong nasod;
3 [Therefore], sir, we [(exc)] always gratefully acknowledge everything that [you have done] for all [of us], wherever [you have done those things].
busa uban sa tanang pasalamat among dawaton ang tanan nga imong buhaton, labing maayong Felix.
4 But, so that I will not take up too much of your time, I earnestly request that you kindly listen to me very briefly.
Busa dili ko na ikaw langanon pa, mohangyo ako kanimo nga maminaw ka kanako kadali uban sa kaluoy.
5 We [(exc)] have observed that this man, [wherever he goes], causes trouble. [Specifically], he causes all the Jews everywhere [HYP] to riot. [Also], he leads the entire group [whom people call] ‘the followers of the Nazarene’, a [false] sect.
Kay among nakaplagan kining tawhana nga usa ka dangan ug maoy usa ka hinungdan nga ang tanang Judio sa tibuok kalibotan nagmasupilon. Siya ang pangulo sa Nazareno nga sekta.
6 He even tried to do things in the Temple [in Jerusalem] that would (defile it/make it unholy). So we [(exc)] seized him.
Buhat 24: 6-8, ang labing maayo ug karaang mga kopya naglaktaw sa mga pulong nga “tanan sa” gikan sa bersikulo 6 ug mao usab sa mga dugang sa 24: 7 ug 8 ( tana-awa sa pataban(dugang) nga mga pulong). Gisulayan pa gani niya ug panamastamas ang templo; busa gidakop namo siya.
7 But Lysias, the commander at the Roman fort, came with his soldiers and forcefully took him away from us [SYN].
Ang labing maayo ug karaan nga mga kopya naglaktaw sa bersikulo 7, “Ug gusto namo siyang hukman sumala sa atong balaod,”
8 Lysias also commanded Paul’s accusers to come here and accuse Paul before you. If you question him yourself, you will be able to learn that all these things about which we are accusing him are true.”
Ang labing maayo ug karaan nga mga kopya naglaktaw sa dugang sa bersikulo 8, “nagsugo sa mga nagpasangil kaniya nga moanha sa imong atubangan.” Sa dihang pangutan-on nimo si Pablo mahitungod niining tanan nga mga butang, ikaw, usab, mahimong makahibalo kung unsa ang among gipasangil kaniya.”
9 When the Jewish [leaders who were listening heard that, they] told [the governor that] what Tertullus had said was true.
Ang mga Judio nahiusa nga nagpasangil kang Pablo, usab, ug nag-ingon nga kining mga butanga tinuod.
10 Then the governor motioned with [his hand to Paul that] he should speak. So Paul replied. He said, “[Governor Felix, I know that you(sg) have judged this Jewish] province for many years. Therefore I gladly defend myself, confident [that you will listen to me and will judge me fairly].
Apan sa dihang ang gobernador misinyas alang kang Pablo sa pagsulti, mitubag si Pablo, “Nakasabot ako nga sa daghang katuigan ikaw nahimong maghuhukom niini nga nasod, ug busa ako nalipay sa pagpasabot sa akong kaugalingon nganha kanimo.
11 You [(sg)] can [easily] ascertain that (it has not been more than twelve days since/only twelve days ago) I went up went up to Jerusalem to worship [God. That is not enough time to cause a lot of trouble].
Makahimo ikaw sa pagsusi nga wala pa nilapas ug napulo ug duha ka adlaw sukad sa akong pag-adto aron magsimba didto sa Jerusalem;
12 No one [can claim legitimately that they] saw me arguing with anyone at the Temple courts [because I did not do that. No one can claim legitimately that they saw me] causing people to riot in [any Jewish meeting place], or causing trouble anywhere [else] in [Jerusalem] city, [because I did not do that].
ug sa dihang nakaplagan nila ako didto sa templo, wala ako nakiglalis kang bisan kinsa, ug wala ako nagsamok sa mga panon, bisan sa mga sinagoga, o bisan didto sa siyudad;
13 So they cannot prove to you the things about which they are now accusing me.
ug dili nila mapamatud-an diha kanimo ang mga pasangil nga ilang gihimo batok kanako karon.
14 But I admit to you [(sg) that this is true]: I do worship the God that our ancestors [worshipped. It is true that] I follow the way that [Jesus taught us]. The Jewish leaders call that a false religion/teaching. I also believe everything that was written [by Moses] {that [Moses wrote]} in the laws that [God gave him], and everything that was written by the [other] prophets {that the [other] prophets wrote} [in their books] [MTY].
Apan ako kining angkonon diha kanimo, nga sumala sa paagi nga ilang gitawag ug sekta, sa samang paagi akong gialagaran ang Dios sa among mga katigulangan. Nagmatinud-anon ako sa tanan nga anaa sa balaod ug mga sinulat sa mga propeta.
15 I confidently expect, just like [some of] these men also expect, that [some day God] will cause everyone who has died to become alive again. He will (cause to become alive again/raise from the dead) both those who were righteous and those who were wicked.
Aduna usab akoy samang pagsalig diha sa Dios, sama ra niining mga katawhan nga naghulat usab niini, ang umaabot nga pagkabanhaw sa mga patay, ang mga matarong ug ang mga dili matarong;
16 [Because I am confidently waiting for that day], I always try to do what pleases God and what other people think is right.
ug niini, nagtrabaho ako aron makaangkon ug konsensya nga walay ikapasangil atubangan sa Dios ug sa katawhan sa tanang mga butang.
17 After I [had been in other places for] several years, I returned to Jerusalem. I went there to deliver some money to my fellow Jews [who are] poor, and to offer sacrifices [to God].
Karon human sa daghang katuigan nga ako niabot aron sa pagdala ug tabang ngadto sa akong nasod ug mga gasa nga salapi.
18 Some [Jews] saw me in the temple [courts] after I had completed the ritual by which a person is made {that makes a person} pure. There was no crowd with me, and I was not causing [people] to riot.
Sa dihang ako kining gibuhat, pipila ka mga Judio gikan sa Asya ang nakakaplag kanako sa usa ka seremonyas sa pagputli diha sa templo, dili uban sa panon o sa paghugyaw.
19 But it was some [other] Jews [who had come] from Asia [province who really caused people to riot. They] should be here in front of you [(sg)] to accuse me, if they thought that I [did] something [wrong].
Kini nga mga tawo kinahanglan nga anaa sa imong atubangan karon ug mosulti kung unsa ang anaa kanila nga batok kanako, kung sila adunay bisan unsa.
20 [But if they] do not [want to do that] (OR, [But because they] are [not] here), these [Jewish] men who are here should tell you [(sg)] what [they think] I did that was wrong, when I [defended myself] before their Council.
Kung ogaling, kini susama ra nga mga tawo kinahanglan nga mosulti kung unsa ang sayop nga ilang nakaplagan nganhi kanako sa dihang ako mitindog atubangan sa Konseho sa mga Judio;
21 [They might say that] one thing that I shouted as I stood before them [was wrong. What I said] was, ‘You are judging me today because I believe that [God] will (cause [all people] who have died to become alive again/raise [all people] from the dead).’”
gawas kung kini mahitungod niining usa ka butang nga akong gisulti ug kusog sa dihang mitindog ako uban kanila, 'Kini mahitungod sa pagkabanhaw sa mga patay nga ako ginahukman karong adlawa pinaagi kaninyo.'”
22 Felix already knew quite a lot about [what people called] ‘the way [of Jesus’]. But he did not let Paul or his accusers continue to speak. [Instead], he said [to them], “[Later], when Commander Lysias comes down here, I will decide these matters that concern you all.”
Si Felix nahibalo gayod ug maayo mahitungod niini nga Dalan, ug iyang gihimo nga maghulat ang mga Judio. Nag-ingon siya, “Bisan kanus-a si Lisias ang pangulo mulugsong gikan sa Jerusalem akong hukman ang imong sumbong.”
23 Then he told the officer [who was guarding Paul] to [take Paul back to the prison and] make sure that he was guarded all the time. But he said that Paul was not to be chained {that the officer was not to fasten chains on him}, and if his friends came to visit him, [the officer] should allow them to help Paul [in any way that they wished].
Unya iyang gimandoan ang kapitan nga bantayan si Pablo, apan sa pagbaton ug kaluoy, ug aron nga walay bisan usa nga magpugong sa iyang mga higala gikan sa pagtabang kaniya o gikan sa pagduaw kaniya.
24 Several days later Felix and his wife Drusilla, who was a Jew, came [back to Caesarea after having been away for a few days]. Felix [commanded] Paul to be brought in {[a soldier to] bring Paul in}. Then Felix listened to what Paul [said to him]. Paul spoke about what [Christians] believe about the Messiah Jesus.
Human sa pipila ka mga adlaw, mibalik si Felix uban sa iyang asawa nga si Drusila, usa ka Judio nga babaye, ug iyang gipatawag si Pablo ug iyang nadunggan gikan kaniya ang mahitungod sa pagtuo diha kang Cristo Jesus.
25 Paul explained [to them about what God requires people] to do in order to please him. [He also explained about God requiring people to] control how they act. [Paul also told him that there will be a time when God] will judge [people]. Felix became alarmed [after hearing those things. So] he said to Paul, “That is all I [want to hear] now. When there is a time that is convenient I will ask you [(sg)] to come [to me again].”
Apan sa dihang si Pablo nangatarongan uban kaniya mahitungod sa pagkamatarong, pagpugong sa kaugalingon, ug ang umaabot nga paghukom, nahadlok si Felix; ug, siya mitubag, “Lakaw una palayo karon, apan kung anaa na usab akoy panahon, tawgon ko ikaw.”
26 [Felix said that because] he hoped that Paul would give him some money [to allow Paul to get out of prison]. So he repeatedly sent for Paul to come, and Paul [repeatedly went and] talked with him. [But he] did not [give Felix any money, and Felix did not command his soldiers to release Paul from prison].
Sa sama usab nga panahon, naglaom siya nga si Pablo maghatag ug salapi ngadto kaniya, busa kanunay niyang gipatawag siya ug nakigsulti uban kaniya.
27 Felix let Paul remain in prison, because he wanted to please the Jewish [leaders and he knew that they did not want him to release Paul]. But when two years had passed, Porcius Festus became governor in place of Felix.
Apan sa dihang milabay ang duha ka tuig, si Porcio Festus ang nahimong gobernador human ni Felix, apan gusto ni Felix nga makabaton ug pagdapig sa mga Judio, ug iyang gibiyaan si Pablo nga padayon nga gibantayan.
