< Acts 23 >

1 Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
P'awlos moosheyiruwok kakuweetsuwotsi t'iwintsdek't s'iilt «Ti eshuwotso! hambetsish b́ borfetso jam aawo Ik'i shinatse sheeng beyon tbeetsok'o t nibon danfee» bí et.
2 On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
K'eesi naasho Hananiyimó P'awlos noono botogetuwok'o P'awlos ganoke need'iru ashuwotsi bíazazi.
3 "Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
Manoor P'awlos Hananiyish, «Nee nooron futets maa dir artsono! nenowere Ik'o togetuwee! nemok'on tjangosh angshosh beedek'atniya nemalon taan botogetuwok'o niazaziri?»
4 "Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
Manoke teshts ashuwots P'awlossh «Ik'i kahniwots naashoneya nc'shiri?» boeti.
5 "I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy people.'"
P'awloswere «Ti eshuwotso! kahaniwotsatsi naasho b́wottsok'o danatse b́teshi, manwere eegoshe ‹Ni ashaatsi naashatse gondo aap'k'aye› etiruwo guut'ere» bí eti.
6 Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
P'awloswere manoke fa'a ashuwotsitse k'atsuwots Seduk'awiya etetsuwotsi k'atsuwotswere feresawi etefuwotsi bo wotok'o dant «Ti eshuwotso! taa feresawi etetswotsatse feresawi taane, hamb! and angsheyiruwo tt'iniye noosh jangit imets k'irotse tuwi jangoshe» ett b́ k'aaro eenshdek't mooshiruwots taalotse b́ keewi.
7 These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
P'awlos han b́ keewutsok'on feresawiyotsnat Seduk'awiya eteefuwots dagotse fayo tuut mooshiruwotsi gitok kay b́k'ri.
8 For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
Seduk'awiya eteefuwots «K'irotse tuwo aaliye, melakiywotswere aalne shayironwere aaliye» boere feresawiyotsmó «Jamanots fa'ane» ettniye boamanefo.
9 So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
Manoor dimbri eeno wotb́wtsi, ferisawi jirwotsitse ik ik nem danifuwots tuwut «Noo ashaanatse eegoru gond keewo daatsratsone, Shayro wee melakiyo bísh keewure b́wotiti, no eegoru danatsone?» ett bomooshi.
10 But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.
Fyonuwere kup'efere bíame ashuwots P'awlosn yec' yec'ay tiish ishitune ett shatt azaziruwo «Od'er P'awlosi ashuwots dagotse kishde'er woowere! kes'fuwots galots dek' boami!» et wotaderwotsi bíazazi.
11 The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
Yatsok'ono t'úwun doonzo P'awlos ganok need'dek't «Shenono! Iyerusalemn taash n gawutsok'o, mannk'o Romits taash gawo neen geyituwe» bí eti.
12 Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.
Datso b́ gatstsok'on ayhudiyots kakuweewutsat «P'awlosn noo úd'raniyere mááyo máárátsone, aatsono úyatsone» ett botaareyi.
13 There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
Malaanats shiyeets ashuwots taawonwere haboniyere bogfno boteshi.
14 They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.
Bowere kahni naashuwotsnat eenashuwotsok amt hank'o ett boosh bokeewi «P'awlosi nó úd'raniyere maayo nonots nogerawok'o kup'shdek'at taareerone,
15 Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
Mansh it mooshiruwotsnton shiyede'er kúp'de'er bín it aatit keewok'o aride'er P'awlosi itsh bodewetuwok'o azaziruwo aatuwere, noowere hanok b́ boraftsere shinon úd'osh k'andek'rone.»
16 But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
Ernmó P'awlos mish naay mal man b́shishtsotse kes' kes'fuwots galots amkindt P'awlossh b́keewi.
17 and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him."
P'awloswere bali naashuwotsitse iko s'eegdek't «Na'an kes' azaziruwosh b́keewit keewo b́detstsotse bíyokde'er t'ine» bí eti.
18 So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
Bali naashonuwere na'aman azaziruwok dek' kindt «Tipetso P'awlos taan s'eegt na'an neesh b́keewit keewo b́detstsotse niyok t t'intsituwok'o taan b́k'oni» bí eti.
19 Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
Azaziruwonuwere na'o kisho detsdek't okaan dek'amt, «Taash nkeewituwo eebi?» ett bíaali bíaati.
20 "The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
Na'onuwere hank'o bíeti, «Ayhudiwots P'awlos keewo katsidek' k'ebiruwok'o araat yaats mooshiruwots shinaanats boosh nt'intsitwok'o neen aatosh ik wotwutserne.
21 I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
Ernmó boosh eekfne, bín noúd'raawo mááyo máratsone, aatsonowere úyatsone ett taarts haboniyere bogts ashuwots bín úd'osh aashdek'rne, and bo bokotir boosh nkeewituwo s'uziye.»
22 So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
Azaziruwonuwere «Keewan taash n keewutsok'o konshor daniyik'aye» ett na'o deen b́k'ri.
23 Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-night."
Maniyere hakon kes' azazefman bali naashwotsitse gituwotsi s'eegdek't «Ilitsi keez sa'ato b́wottsok'on K'isari maants git bal kes'fuwotsnat shab farshetsuwotsi, git bal gin shap'fuwotsnowere k'aniwere,
24 He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
P'awlosshowere farsho it k'anire dats keewiruwok Filksok jeenon b́bodetuwok'o woshwore» bí eti.
25 He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
Hank'o etiru woshonowere work'atats guut' b́k'ri,
26 "Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
«K'elawudiyos Lusyosoke, mangts dats k'eezfo Flkissh! jeeno neesh wotowe!
27 This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
Ashaan ayhudiwots detsdek't úd'oshe boteshi, taamo Rom dats ash b́woto tdantsosh kes' kes'fuwotsnton bodat bín t wooriyi.
28 And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
Eegatse tuutson bos'aamitsok'o danosh geeyat mooshiruwotsok t'intsree b́teshi.
29 and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
Bos'amiwere bo nematse tuuts keewon b́wottsok'o tdaatsi, ernmó k'irosh wee tiposh bín betsit keewo aaliye.
30 But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
Ashaan údosh maletsok'o tshishtsok'on manoor níyok twoshi, s'amiruwotsuwere bíyatse bodetsts s'aamiyo nshinatse bot'intsituwok'o boosh keewure.»
31 So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
Mansh kes'kes'iruwots boon azazetsok'o Pawlosi t'úwon dek'amt Antip'at'risok bobetsi.
32 The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
Yatsok'on Farshetsuwots P'awlosn ton boametuwok'o wosht boowere k'es' kes'fuwots gálo maants k'azboaani.
33 and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.

34 Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
Dats k'ezirowonu worek'atats gút'ets woshman b́nababi hakon P'awlossh Aawoki dats ashnene? ett bíaati, Kilik'iy dats ash b́ woto b́ dantsok'on
35 he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
«Neen s'amiruwots boowor njango shishetuwe» bí eti. Herodis mengst moots b́ koteetuwok'owere bíazazi.
