Oihana 23
1 HAKA pono mai la o Paulo i ka ahalunakanawai, i mai la, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, ua noho kupa wau me ka lunaikehala maikai wale no i ke Akua a hiki mai nei i keia la.
Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, "Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day."
2 Kena ae la ke kahuna nui o Anania i ka poe e ku kokoke ana io na la, e pai ia ia ma ka waha.
The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
3 Alaila, i aku la o Paulo ia ia, E pai mai no hoi ke Akua ia oe, e ka paia i hookeokeoia. Ke noho nei anei oe e hooko mai i ke kanawai ia'u, a ke kena mai nei anei oe, e paiia mai au ma ka mea ku ole i ke kanawai.
Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall. Do you sit to judge me according to the Law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?"
4 Olelo mai la ka poe o ku ana ilaila. Ke olelo ino nei anei oe i ke kahuna nui o ke Akua?
Those who stood by said, "Do you malign God's high priest?"
5 I aku la o Paulo, E na hoahanau, aole au i ike, o ke kahuna nui ia. No ka mea, ua palapalaia mai, Mai olelo hoino aku oe i ke alii o kou poe kanaka.
Paul said, "I did not know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, 'You must not speak evil of a ruler of your people.'"
6 A ike aku la o Paulo, he poe Sadukaio kekahi o lakou, a he poe Parisaio kekahi, alaila hea aku la ia ma ka ahalunakanawai, E na kanaka, na hoahanau, he Parisaio wau, he keiki na kekahi Parisaio; a no ka manaolana i ke alahouana o ka poe make, ua hookolokoloia mai nei au.
But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he shouted in the council, "Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged."
7 A i kana olelo ana pela, kuee iho la ka poe Parisaio, a me ka poe Sadukaio; a mokuahana iho la ua aha kanaka la.
When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 No ka mea, ua olelo mai ka poe Sadukaio, aole alahouana, aole anela, aole uhane; aka, o ka poe Parisaio, hooiaio no lakou i keia mau mea elua.
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.
9 Nui loa iho la ka uwa; ku mai la na kakauolelo no ka poe Parisaio, hoopaapaa ikaika ae la lakou, i ae la, Aole loaa ia makou ka hewa iloko o keia kanaka. A ina he uhane, a he anela paha i olelo mai ia ia, mai ku e kakou i ke Akua.
A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, "We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit spoke to him, or an angel?"
10 Nui loa iho la ke kuee, no ia mea, makau ae la ka lunatausani o weluwelu o Paulo ia lakou, kena ae la ia i ka poe koa e iho ilalo, a e kaili mai ia ia mailoko mai o lakou, a e alakai aku ia ia iloko o ka pakaua.
When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
11 A ia po iho, ku mai la ka Haku imua ona, i mai la, E hoolana oe, e Paulo; no ka mea, e like me kou hoike ana aku ia'u ma Ierusalema nei, pela no hoi oe e hoike aku ai ia'u ma Roma.
The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, "Cheer up, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome."
12 A wanaao, ohumu kuikahi mai la kekahi poe Iudaio e hoohalua ia ia, hoohiki ae la, aole loa lakou e ai, aole hoi e inu, a pepehi lakou ia Paulo.
When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.
13 He kanaha lakou a keu aku i ohumu pela i keia hoohalua ana.
There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.
14 Hele mai la lakou i na kahuna nui a me na lunakahiko, i mai la, Ua hoohiki makou ia makou iho i kahi hoino nui, aole loa makou e ai a pepehi makou ia Paulo.
They came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.
15 No ia mea, ano, e nonoi aku oukou me ka ahalunakanawai i ka lunatausani, e kai mai ia ia io oukou nei, i ka la apopo, me he mea la e ninau hou aku i mea e akaka'i nona: a o makou nei, ua makaukau makou e pepehi ia ia i ka wa aole ia e hiki kokoke mai.
Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near."
16 A lohe ke keikikane a ke kaikuwahine o Paulo i ko lakou hoohalua ana, hele aku la ia, komo aku la iloko o ka pakaua, a hai aku la ia Paulo.
But Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, and he came and entered into the barracks and told Paul.
17 Alaila, hea aku la o Paulo i kekahi o na lunahaneri, i aku la ia ia, E alakai oe i keia kanaka opio i ka lunatausani; no ka mea, he olelo kana e hai aku ai ia ia.
Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, "Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him."
18 Nolaila, lawe ae la oia ia ia, alakai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, I hea mai nei ia'u o Paulo ka mea i paa, a nonoi mai ia'u e alakai mai i keia kanaka opio ia oe, he olelo kana e hai aku ai ia oe.
So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you."
19 Alaila, lalau ae la ka lunatausani i kona lima, a hele malu ae la, ninau aku la, Heaha kau mea e hai mai ia'u?
The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"
20 I aku la ia, Ua ohumu ka poe Iudaio e nonoi aku ia oe e kai aku ia Paulo i ka ahalunakanawai, i ka la apopo, me he mea la e ninau hou aku i mea nona e akaka'i.
And he said, "The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though they intended to inquire somewhat more thoroughly concerning him.
21 Mai ae aku oe ia lakou; no ka mea, ke hoohalua nei nona hookahi kanaha kanaka, a keu o lakou; ua hoohiki lakou ia lakou iho i kahi hoino nui, aole e ai, aole hoi e inu, a pepehi lakou ia ia: Ano hoi ke makaukau nei lakou, e kakali ana no kau olelo.
Therefore do not yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you."
22 Nolaila kuu mai la ka lunatausani i ua kanaka opio la, papa mai la, Mai hai ae oe i kekahi kanaka i kou hoike ana mai ia'u i keia mau mea.
So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, "Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me."
23 Nolaila, kii aku la ia i na lunahaneri elua, i aku la, E hoomakaukau i na koa, elua haneri, e hele i Kaisareia, a me na hoohololio, he kanahiku, a me na kanaka ihe, elua haneri, i ke kolu o ka hora o ka po;
He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, "Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, at nine tonight."
24 A e hoomakaukau i na holonolona hoi, i kau lakou ia Paulo maluna, a e lawe maikai aku ia ia io Pelika la, i ke alii kiaaina.
He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.
25 Kakau aku la ia i kekahi palapala, penei;
He wrote a letter like this:
26 O Kelaudio Lusia, i ke alii kiaaina hanohano, ia Pelika, aloha:
"Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.
27 Ua hopuia keia kanaka e na Iudaio, a mai pepehiia oia e lakou; alaila, hiki e aku la au me ka poe koa, a hoopakele ia ia, no ko'u lohe ana, he Roma ia.
"This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.
28 A i kou ake ana e ike i ke kumu a lakou i hoopii ai ia ia, kai ae la au ia ia iloko o ko lakou ahalunakanawai:
Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.
29 A ike aku la au ia ia, ua hoopiiia oia no kekahi mau mea o ko lakou kanawai, aole hoi lakou i hoopii mai ia ia, ma ka mea e pono ai ka make, a me ka paa.
I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.
30 A i haiia mai ia'u ka hoohalua ana o na Iudaio i ua kanaka la, hoouna koke aku la au ia oe, a kauoha aku la no hoi i ka poe i hoopii mai ia ia, e hai aku imua ou i ka mea a lakou i ike ai ia ia. Aloha oe.
When I was told that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell."
31 Alaila, lawe ae la ka poe koa ia Paulo, e like me ke kena ana mai ia lakou, a alakai aku la ia ia i ka po, i Anetipateri.
So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 A ia la ae, waiho iho la lakou i ka poe hoohololio, e hele pu me ia, a hoi aku la lakou i ka pakaua.
But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.
33 A hiki aku la lakou i Kaisareia, haawi aku la lakou i ka palapala i ke alii kiaaina, a hooku iho la ia Paulo imua ona.
When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.
34 A heluhelu iho la ke alii, a ninau mai la ia, No ka panalaau hea ia? A lohe ia, no Kilikia,
When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,
35 I mai la ia, A hiki mai ka poe hoopii ia oe, alaila e hoolohe aku au ia oe. Kauoha ae la ia e malamaia oia maloko o ko Herode hale alii.
"I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive." He commanded that he be kept in Herod's palace.
