Oihana 24
1 A HALA na la elima, iho ae la o Anania, ke kahuna nui, a me na lunakahiko, a me kekahi loio, o Teretulo, hoopii mai la lakou ia Paulo i ke alii kiaaina.
And, after five days, the high, Ananias, came down, with the elders, and a certain orator, named Tertullus: and they made their appearance before the governor, against Paul.
2 Kiiia'ku la ia, hoomaka iho la o Teretulo e hoopii ia ia, i ae la, Ua malu loa makou ia oe, ua nui loa no hoi na mea kaulana i loaa mai i keia aina i kou malama ana,
And he being called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, As we enjoy great peace by your means, and as illustrious deeds are happily done to this nation, by your prudent administration;
3 E Pelika kiekie, ke lawe maikai nei makou ia mau mea, ma na wahi a pau loa, me ke aloha nui aku:
we accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Aka, o hooluhi aku au ia oe, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, i kou lokomaikai, e hoolohe iki mai ia makou.
But, that I may not further trouble you, I beseech you to hear us briefly, with your usual candor.
5 No ka mea, ua ike makou i keia kanaka, ua kolohe, he kanaka hooeueu ana o ke ku e mawaena o na Iadaio a pau ma na aina a pau, oia no hoi kekahi kumu nui o ka papa Nazarene.
for we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world; and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
6 Ua hoao ae la ia e hoohaumia i ka luakini; na makou ia i hopu iho, a makemake iho la makou e hookolokolo e like me ko makou kanawai.
who has attempted to profane the temple; and whom we apprehended, and would have judged according to our law;
7 Aka, hele mai la o Lusia, ka lunatausani, a kai aku la ia ia me ka ikaika nui, mailoko aku o ko makou mau lima,
but Lysias, the commander, coming upon us with a great force, took him away out of our hands,
8 Kena mai no hoi ia i ka poe nana ia i hoopii e hele mai iou nei. A ina hookolokolo oe, e ike auanei oe i ka oiaio o keia mau mea a pau a makou e hoopii aku nei nona.
commanding his accusers to come to you; by which means, you may yourself, on examination, know the certainty of all these things, of which we accuse him.
9 Ae mai la na Iudaio, i mai la, Oiaio no keia mau mea.
And the Jews also gave their assent, saying, that these things were so.
10 Kunou ae la ke alii ia Paulo e olelo mai, alaila i mai la ia. No kuu ike ana, he nui na makahiki ia oe, i lunakanawai no ko keia aina, no ia mea, ua oluolu loa wau e olelo aku i na mea no'u iho.
Then Paul, after the governor had made a signal to him to speak, answered, Knowing that you, O Felix! have been for several years a judge to this nation, I answer for myself with the more cheerfulness;
11 E hiki no ia oe ke hoomaopopo, he umi ae nei la wale no i hala, a me kumamalua, mai ko'u pii ana aku i Ierusalema e hoomana.
since you may know that it is no more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem;
12 Aole hoi au i loaa ia lakou maloko o ka luakini, e hoopaapaa ana me kekahi, aole hoi e hoohaunaele ana i ke lehulehu, aole maloko o na halehalawai, aole hoi maloko o ke kulanakauhale;
and they neither found me disputing with any man in the temple, nor making any insurrection among the people, either in the synagogues, or in the city:
13 Aole hoi e hiki ia lakou ano ke hooiaio i na mea a lakou e hoopii mai nei ia'u.
nor can they produce any proof of the things concerning which they now accuse me.
14 Aka, ke hai pono aku nei au ia oe i keia, ma ka aoao i oleloia'i e lakou, he aoao ku e, pela no wau e hoomana aku nei i ke Akua o ko'u mau kupuna, e manaoio ana aku i na mea a pau i kakauia'i ma ke kanawai, a ma ka na kaula.
But this I confess to you, that after the way which they call a sect, so worship I the God of our fathers; believing all things which are written in the law, and in the prophets;
15 Ke lana nei ko'u manao i ke Akua, ua ae mai no hoi lakou i keia, i ke alahouana o ka poe make, o ka poe pono a me ka poe pono ole.
having hope toward God, of that which they themselves also expect, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and of the unjust.
16 Malaila no hoi au e hooikaika nei e loaa mau ka lunaikehala hewa ole imua o ke Akua a me na kanaka.
And upon this account, I exercise myself to have always a conscience without offense toward God, and toward men.
17 A hala na makahiki he nui, hele aku la au e lawe i ka waiwai manawalea, a me na mohai, no na kanaka o ko'u aina.
Now, after several years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:
18 Loaa iho la au maloko o ka luakini i kekahi mau Iudaio, mai Asia mai, ua huikalaia, aole me ka lehulehu, aole hoi me ka hoohaunaele.
upon which some Asiatic Jews found me purified in the temple; neither with multitude nor with tumult;
19 Ina i loaa ia lakou kekahi hewa no'u, e hoopii mai ai, ina ua pono o lakou kekahi pu mai imua ou.
who ought to have been present before you, and to accuse me, if they had anything against me:
20 E pono no hoi ia lakou nei ke olelo mai, ina paha ua loaa ia lakou ko'u hewa, ia'u i ku ai imua o ka ahalunakanawai;
or let these themselves say, if, when I stood before the Sanhedrim,
21 No keia leo hookahi wale no a'u i hea aku ai, i ko'u ku ana iwaena o lakou. No ke alahouana o ka poe make, oia ko'u mea i hookolokoloia mai ai imua o oukou i keia la.
they found any crime in me; unless it be with relation to this one word, which I expressed, when I stood among them--that, for the resurrection of the dead, I am judged by you this day.
22 A lohe o Pelika i keia, hoopanee aku ia lakou a ike maopopo aku la oia i na mea o keia aoao, i ae la, A iho mai o Lusia, ka lunatausani, alaila, e hoomaopopo lea au i ka oukou.
And when Felix heard these things, he put them off, saying, After I have been more accurately informed concerning this way, when Lysias, the commander, comes down, I will take cognizance of the affair between you.
23 Alaila, olelo aku la ia i ka lunahaneri e malama ia Paulo, aole hoi e paa maoli, aole e papa aku i kekahi o kona mau makamaka, ke lawelawe nana, a e hele mai hoi ia ia.
And he commanded the centurion to keep Paul, and let him have liberty, and to hinder none of his friends from assisting him, or coming to him.
24 A hala kekahi mau la, hiki mai la o Pelika me kana wahine, o Derausila, he Iudaio no ia, kii aku la kela ia Paulo, hoolohe aku la ia ia no ka manaoio iloko o Kristo.
And, after some days, Felix, coming the Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 A i kana kamailio ana no ka pono, a me ka pakiko, a me ka hookolokoloia e hiki mai ana mahope, haalulu iho la o Pelika, i aku la, O hoi oe i keia wa; a loaa ia'u ka manawa kaawale, e kii hou aku no au ia oe.
And he reasoned concerning righteousness and temperance, and judgment to come, Felix, trembling, answered, Go your way for this time, and I will take some future opportunity to call for you.
26 E manaolana ana hoi ia e haawiia mai e Paulo na kala nana, i weheia'ku ai ia e ia. No ia mea, kii pinepine aku la oia ia ia, i kamakamailio laua.
And he hoped, also, that money would be given him by Paul, that he might be set at liberty: and, therefore, he sent the more frequently for him, and discoursed with him.
27 A hala ae la na makahiki elua, hiki ae la ma ko Pelika hakahaka, o Porekio Peseto, a waiho iho la o Pelika ia Paulo e paa ana, no kona makemake e hooluolu i na Iudaio.
Now, after two years were ended, Felix was succeeded by Portius Festus; and Felix, willing to ingratiate himself with the Jews, left Paul a prisoner.
