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.
After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed 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,
When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
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 in all ways and in all places, most excellent 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 don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
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 to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections 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.
He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
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,
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.
By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9 Ae mai la na Iudaio, i mai la, Oiaio no keia mau mea.
The Judeans also joined in the attack, affirming 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.
When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
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.
seeing that you can verify that it is not 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;
In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, 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 prove to you the things of 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 according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Torah, and which are written 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, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 Malaila no hoi au e hooikaika nei e loaa mau ka lunaikehala hewa ole imua o ke Akua a me na kanaka.
In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and 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 some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy 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.
amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19 Ina i loaa ia lakou kekahi hewa no'u, e hoopii mai ai, ina ua pono o lakou kekahi pu mai imua ou.
They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation 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 else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
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.
unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
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.
But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
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.
He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit 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.
After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Messiah Yeshua.
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.
As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon 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.
Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked 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.
But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Judeans, Felix left Paul in bonds.
