Acts 23
1 Paul looked directly at the council members and said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.”
སབྷཱསདློཀཱན྄ པྲཏི པཽལོ྅ནནྱདྲྀཥྚྱཱ པཤྱན྄ ཨཀཐཡཏ྄, ཧེ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཱ ཨདྱ ཡཱཝཏ྄ སརལེན སཪྻྭཱནྟཿཀརཎེནེཤྭརསྱ སཱཀྵཱད྄ ཨཱཙརཱམི།
2 The high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
ཨནེན ཧནཱནཱིཡནཱམཱ མཧཱཡཱཛཀསྟཾ ཀཔོལེ ཙཔེཊེནཱཧནྟུཾ སམཱིཔསྠལོཀཱན྄ ཨཱདིཥྚཝཱན྄།
3 Then said Paul to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Are you sitting to judge me by the law, yet order me to be struck, against the law?”
ཏདཱ པཽལསྟམཝདཏ྄, ཧེ བཧིཥྤརིཥྐྲྀཏ, ཨཱིཤྭརསྟྭཱཾ པྲཧརྟྟུམ྄ ཨུདྱཏོསྟི, ཡཏོ ཝྱཝསྠཱནུསཱརེཎ ཝིཙཱརཡིཏུམ྄ ཨུཔཝིཤྱ ཝྱཝསྠཱཾ ལངྒྷིཏྭཱ མཱཾ པྲཧརྟྟུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡསི།
4 Those who stood by said, “Is this how you insult God's high priest?”
ཏཏོ ནིཀཊསྠཱ ལོཀཱ ཨཀཐཡན྄, ཏྭཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཾ ནིནྡསི?
5 Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.”
ཏཏཿ པཽལཿ པྲཏིབྷཱཥིཏཝཱན྄ ཧེ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎ མཧཱཡཱཛཀ ཨེཥ ཨིཏི ན བུདྡྷཾ མཡཱ ཏདནྱཙྩ སྭལོཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨདྷིཔཏིཾ པྲཏི དུཪྻྭཱཀྱཾ མཱ ཀཐཡ, ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱི ལིཔིརསྟི།
6 When Paul saw that the one part of the council were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he spoke loudly in the council, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. It is because I have the certain hope of the resurrection of the dead that I am being judged.”
ཨནནྟརཾ པཽལསྟེཥཱམ྄ ཨརྡྡྷཾ སིདཱུཀིལོཀཱ ཨརྡྡྷཾ ཕིརཱུཤིལོཀཱ ཨིཏི དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པྲོཙྩཻཿ སབྷཱསྠལོཀཱན྄ ཨཝདཏ྄ ཧེ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎ ཨཧཾ ཕིརཱུཤིམཏཱཝལམྦཱི ཕིརཱུཤིནཿ སཏྣཱནཤྩ, མྲྀཏལོཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨུཏྠཱནེ པྲཏྱཱཤཱཀརཎཱད྄ ཨཧམཔཝཱདིཏོསྨི།
7 When he said this, an argument began between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the crowd was divided.
ཨིཏི ཀཐཱཡཱཾ ཀཐིཏཱཡཱཾ ཕིརཱུཤིསིདཱུཀིནོཿ པརསྤརཾ བྷིནྣཝཱཀྱཏྭཱཏ྄ སབྷཱཡཱ མདྷྱེ དྭཽ སཾགྷཽ ཛཱཏཽ།
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, no angels, and no spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge all of them.
ཡཏཿ སིདཱུཀིལོཀཱ ཨུཏྠཱནཾ སྭརྒཱིཡདཱུཏཱ ཨཱཏྨཱནཤྩ སཪྻྭེཥཱམ྄ ཨེཏེཥཱཾ ཀམཔི ན མནྱནྟེ, ཀིནྟུ ཕིརཱུཤིནཿ སཪྻྭམ྄ ཨངྒཱིཀུཪྻྭནྟི།
9 So a large uproar occurred, and some of the scribes belonging to the Pharisees stood up and argued, saying, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
ཏཏཿ པརསྤརམ྄ ཨཏིཤཡཀོལཱཧལེ སམུཔསྠིཏེ ཕིརཱུཤིནཱཾ པཀྵཱིཡཱཿ སབྷཱསྠཱ ཨདྷྱཱཔཀཱཿ པྲཏིཔཀྵཱ ཨུཏྟིཥྛནྟོ ྅ཀཐཡན྄, ཨེཏསྱ མཱནཝསྱ ཀམཔི དོཥཾ ན པཤྱཱམཿ; ཡདི ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨཱཏྨཱ ཝཱ ཀཤྩིད྄ དཱུཏ ཨེནཾ པྲཏྱཱདིཤཏ྄ ཏརྷི ཝཡམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ པྲཱཏིཀཱུལྱེན ན ཡོཏྶྱཱམཿ།
10 When there arose a great argument, the chief captain feared that Paul would be torn to pieces by them, so he commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among the council members, and bring him into the fortress.
ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨཏཱིཝ བྷིནྣཝཱཀྱཏྭེ སཏི ཏེ པཽལཾ ཁཎྜཾ ཁཎྜཾ ཀརིཥྱནྟཱིཏྱཱཤངྐཡཱ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིཿ སེནཱགཎཾ ཏཏྶྠཱནཾ ཡཱཏུཾ སབྷཱཏོ བལཱཏ྄ པཽལཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ དུརྒཾ ནེཏཉྩཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄།
11 The following night the Lord stood beside him and said, “Do not be afraid, for as you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome.”
རཱཏྲོ པྲབྷུསྟསྱ སམཱིཔེ ཏིཥྛན྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄ ཧེ པཽལ ནིརྦྷཡོ བྷཝ ཡཐཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརེ མཡི སཱཀྵྱཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཏཐཱ རོམཱནགརེཔི ཏྭཡཱ དཱཏཝྱམ྄།
12 When it became day, some Jews formed a conspiracy and called a curse down upon themselves with an oath not to eat nor drink anything until they had killed Paul.
དིནེ སམུཔསྠིཏེ སཏི ཀིཡནྟོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཨེཀམནྟྲཎཱཿ སནྟཿ པཽལཾ ན ཧཏྭཱ བྷོཛནཔཱནེ ཀརིཥྱཱམ ཨིཏི ཤཔཐེན སྭཱན྄ ཨབདྷྣན྄།
13 There were more than forty men who formed this conspiracy.
ཙཏྭཱརིཾཤཛྫནེབྷྱོ྅དྷིཀཱ ལོཀཱ ཨིཏི པཎམ྄ ཨཀུཪྻྭན྄།
14 They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have put ourselves under a great curse, to eat nothing until we have killed Paul.
ཏེ མཧཱཡཱཛཀཱནཱཾ པྲཱཙཱིནལོཀཱནཱཉྩ སམཱིཔཾ གཏྭཱ ཀཐཡན྄, ཝཡཾ པཽལཾ ན ཧཏྭཱ ཀིམཔི ན བྷོཀྵྱཱམཧེ དྲྀཌྷེནཱནེན ཤཔཐེན བདྡྷྭཱ ཨབྷཝཱམ།
15 Now, therefore, let the council tell the chief captain to bring him down to you, as if you would decide his case more precisely. As for us, we are ready to kill him before he comes here.”
ཨཏཨེཝ སཱམྤྲཏཾ སབྷཱསདློཀཻཿ སཧ ཝཡཾ ཏསྨིན྄ ཀཉྩིད྄ ཝིཤེཥཝིཙཱརཾ ཀརིཥྱཱམསྟདརྠཾ བྷཝཱན྄ ཤྭོ ྅སྨཱཀཾ སམཱིཔཾ ཏམ྄ ཨཱནཡཏྭིཏི སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏཡེ ནིཝེདནཾ ཀུརུཏ ཏེན ཡུཥྨཱཀཾ སམཱིཔཾ ཨུཔསྠིཏེཿ པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཝཡཾ ཏཾ ཧནྟུ སཛྫིཥྱཱམ།
16 But Paul's sister's son heard that they were lying in wait, so he went and entered the fortress and told Paul.
ཏདཱ པཽལསྱ བྷཱགིནེཡསྟེཥཱམིཏི མནྟྲཎཱཾ ཝིཛྙཱཡ དུརྒཾ གཏྭཱ ཏཱཾ ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ པཽལམ྄ ཨུཀྟཝཱན྄།
17 Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to tell him.”
ཏསྨཱཏ྄ པཽལ ཨེཀཾ ཤཏསེནཱཔཏིམ྄ ཨཱཧཱུཡ ཝཱཀྱམིདམ྄ བྷཱཥིཏཝཱན྄ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏེཿ སམཱིཔེ྅སྱ ཡུཝམནུཥྱསྱ ཀིཉྩིནྣིཝེདནམ྄ ཨཱསྟེ, ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏཏྶཝིདྷམ྄ ཨེནཾ ནཡ།
18 So the centurion took the young man and brought him to the chief captain and said, “Paul the prisoner called me to him, and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to say to you.”
ཏཏཿ ས ཏམཱདཱཡ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏེཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, བྷཝཏཿ སམཱིཔེ྅སྱ ཀིམཔི ནིཝེདནམཱསྟེ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ བནྡིཿ པཽལོ མཱམཱཧཱུཡ བྷཝཏཿ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨེནམ྄ ཨཱནེཏུཾ པྲཱརྠིཏཝཱན྄།
19 The chief captain took him by the hand to a private place and asked him, “What is it that you have to tell me?”
ཏདཱ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིསྟསྱ ཧསྟཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ནིརྫནསྠཱནཾ ནཱིཏྭཱ པྲྀཥྛཝཱན྄ ཏཝ ཀིཾ ནིཝེདནཾ? ཏཏ྄ ཀཐཡ།
20 The young man said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring down Paul tomorrow to the council, as if they were going to ask more precisely about his case.
ཏཏཿ སོཀཐཡཏ྄, ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལཱཀཱཿ པཽལེ ཀམཔི ཝིཤེཥཝིཙཱརཾ ཚལཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏཾ སབྷཱཾ ནེཏུཾ བྷཝཏཿ སམཱིཔེ ནིཝེདཡིཏུཾ ཨམནྟྲཡན྄།
21 But do not give in to them, because there are more than forty men who are lying in wait for him. They have called a curse down on themselves, neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Even now they are ready, waiting for consent from you.”
ཀིནྟུ མཝཏཱ ཏནྣ སྭཱིཀརྟྟཝྱཾ ཡཏསྟེཥཱཾ མདྷྱེཝརྟྟིནཤྩཏྭཱརིཾཤཛྫནེབྷྱོ ྅དྷིཀལོཀཱ ཨེཀམནྟྲཎཱ བྷཱུཏྭཱ པཽལཾ ན ཧཏྭཱ བྷོཛནཾ པཱནཉྩ ན ཀརིཥྱཱམ ཨིཏི ཤཔཐེན བདྡྷཱཿ སནྟོ གྷཱཏཀཱ ཨིཝ སཛྫིཏཱ ཨིདཱནཱིཾ ཀེཝལཾ བྷཝཏོ ྅ནུམཏིམ྄ ཨཔེཀྵནྟེ།
22 So the chief captain let the young man go, after instructing him, “Tell no one that you have said these things to me.”
ཡཱམིམཱཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཏྭཾ ནིཝེདིཏཝཱན྄ ཏཱཾ ཀསྨཻཙིདཔི མཱ ཀཐཡེཏྱུཀྟྭཱ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིསྟཾ ཡུཝཱནཾ ཝིསྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄།
23 Then he called to him two of the centurions and said, “Get two hundred soldiers ready to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen also, and two hundred spearmen. You will leave at the third hour of the night.”
ཨནནྟརཾ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏི རྡྭཽ ཤཏསེནཱཔཏཱི ཨཱཧཱུཡེདམ྄ ཨཱདིཤཏ྄, ཡུཝཱཾ རཱཏྲཽ པྲཧརཻཀཱཝཤིཥྚཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརཾ ཡཱཏུཾ པདཱཏིསཻནྱཱནཱཾ དྭེ ཤཏེ གྷོཊཀཱརོཧིསཻནྱཱནཱཾ སཔྟཏིཾ ཤཀྟིདྷཱརིསཻནྱཱནཱཾ དྭེ ཤཏེ ཙ ཛནཱན྄ སཛྫིཏཱན྄ ཀུརུཏཾ།
24 He also ordered them to provide animals which Paul could ride, and to take him safely to Felix the governor.
པཽལམ྄ ཨཱརོཧཡིཏུཾ ཕཱིལིཀྵཱདྷིཔཏེཿ སམཱིཔཾ ནིཪྻྭིགྷྣཾ ནེཏུཉྩ ཝཱཧནཱནི སམུཔསྠཱཔཡཏཾ།
25 Then he wrote a letter like this:
ཨཔརཾ ས པཏྲཾ ལིཁིཏྭཱ དཏྟཝཱན྄ ཏལླིཁིཏམེཏཏ྄,
26 “Claudius Lysias to the most excellent Governor Felix, greetings.
མཧཱམཧིམཤྲཱིཡུཀྟཕཱིལིཀྵཱདྷིཔཏཡེ ཀླཽདིཡལུཥིཡསྱ ནམསྐཱརཿ།
27 This man was arrested by the Jews and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with soldiers and rescued him, since I learned that he was a Roman citizen.
ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱཿ པཱུཪྻྭམ྄ ཨེནཾ མཱནཝཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ སྭཧསྟཻ རྷནྟུམ྄ ཨུདྱཏཱ ཨེཏསྨིནྣནྟརེ སསཻནྱོཧཾ ཏཏྲོཔསྠཱཡ ཨེཥ ཛནོ རོམཱིཡ ཨིཏི ཝིཛྙཱཡ ཏཾ རཀྵིཏཝཱན྄།
28 I wanted to know why they accused him, so I took him down to their council.
ཀིནྣིམིཏྟཾ ཏེ ཏམཔཝདནྟེ ཏཛྫྙཱཏུཾ ཏེཥཱ སབྷཱཾ ཏམཱནཱཡིཏཝཱན྄།
29 I learned that he was being accused about questions concerning their own law, but that there was no accusation against him that deserved death or imprisonment.

30 Then it was made known to me that there was a plot against the man, so I immediately sent him to you, and instructed his accusers also to bring their charges against him in your presence. Farewell.”

31 So the soldiers obeyed their orders. They took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

32 On the next day, most of the soldiers left the horsemen to go with him and they themselves returned to the fortress.

33 When the horsemen reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

34 When the governor read the letter, he asked what province Paul was from. When he learned that he was from Cilicia,

35 he said, “I will hear you fully when your accusers come here.” Then he commanded him to be kept in Herod's government headquarters.
