Orekma 24
1 Len limekosr toko, Mwet Tol Fulat Ananias el som nu Caesarea wi kutu mwet matu lun mwet Jew oayapa Tertullus, sie mwet sasla ke ma sap lun mwet Rome. Elos utyak ye mutal Governor Felix ac oru tukak lalos lainul Paul.
After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2 Na pangyak Paul, ac Tertullus el mutawauk in sramsram lainul, ac pa inge ma el fahk uh: “Governor Fulatlana, woiyen kol lom uh ase moul in misla nu sesr ke lusen pacl na loes se, ac ouiya puspis ma enenu in ikilyukla in akwoye facl sesr uh orekla tari.
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 Kut insewowo ke ma inge yen nukewa ac ke pacl nukewa, ac kut arulana kulo nu sum kac.
we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Nga tia lungse eisla pacl lom, tusruktu nga siyuk kom in nunak munas porongo kas fototo ma kut ac fahk inge.
But that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5 Kut konauk tuh na mwet se inge mwet na sensen se, su purakak lokoalok lulap inmasrlon mwet Jew in acn nukewa fin faclu, ac el mwet kol se lun u se pangpang 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 El oayapa srike in aktaekye Tempul, ac kut sruokilya.
He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
8 Kom fin kusen siyuk sin mwet se inge, kom ac fah ku in sifacna etu ma nukewa sel ke ma kut tukakunul kac uh.”
By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9 Mwet Jew elos akkalemye lah elos insese nu ke kas in tukak inge nukewa.
The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10 Na Governor el srisrsrisr nu sel Paul elan sramsram, na Paul el fahk, “Nga etu lah kom pa nununku mutunfacl se inge ke yac na pus, ouinge nga insewowo in sifacna loangeyu ye motom.
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 Kom ku in sifacna akpwayeye lah len na singoul luo somla pa nga tuh som nu Jerusalem in alu.
seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12 Mwet Jew uh tiana liye ngan akukuin nu sin kutena mwet in Tempul, ac elos tia pacna liye ngan purakak mwet uh — tia in iwen lolngok ku kutena acn saya in siti uh.
In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
13 Ac elos tia pac ku in akpwayei nu sum ke ma elos tukakinyu kac inge.
Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Nga ku in fahk nu sum lah pwaye nga alu nu sin God lun mwet matu lasr uh ke nga fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum — Inkanek se ma elos inge fahk mu ma kikiap. Tusruktu nga wi lulalfongi ma nukewa simla in Ma Sap lal Moses ac book lun mwet palu uh.
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 law, and which are written in the prophets;
15 Finsrak luk in God oapana finsrak lalos uh, aok finsrak se ma fahk mu mwet nukewa — mwet suwohs ac mwet sesuwos — ac fah moulyak liki misa.
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 Ke ma inge, in pacl nukewa nga sang kuiyuk nufon tuh in nasnas insiuk ye mutun God ac ye mutun mwet uh.
In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17 “Tukun nga muta sayen Jerusalem ke kutu yac, nga tuh folokla nu we in us kutu mani in kasru mwet Jew wiuk, ac in tuh orek kisa.
Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18 Pacl se ma nga tuh oru ma inge pa elos koneyuyak in Tempul, tukun nga aksafyela alu in aknasnas luk ah. Wangin un mwet wiyu, ac wangin pac fohs.
amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19 Tusruktu oasr kutu mwet Jew su tuku Asia me wi muta we in pacl sac. Elos pa enenu in oru tukak lalos nu sum, fin oasr ma elos ac fahk in lainyu.
They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20 Ku, kom ku in sap mwet inge in fahk nu sum lah mea elos liye mu nga sutuela kac ke nga tuh tu ye mutun Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat ah —
Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21 sayen kas sefanna nga tuh wowoyak ac fahk ke nga tu ye mutalos: ‘Nununkeyuk nga ye motowos misenge mweyen nga lulalfongi mu mwet misa uh ac fah sifil moulyak.’”
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 Na Felix, su yohk etu lal ke Inkanek lun Leum, el aksafyela lohngyuk sac. Ac el fahk, “Nga fah wotela ma ac orek ke lohngyuk se inge ke pacl Lysias, leum fulat lun un mwet mweun uh, el tuku.”
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 El sap mwet mweun ma taranul Paul in liyalang na, tusruk in sang kutu pacl sukosok lal, ac fuhlela mwet kawuk lal in kasrel ac in sang kutena enenu lal uh.
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 Tukun kutu len, Felix el usal Drusilla, mutan kial, tuku. Mutan se inge mwet Jew. Felix el solalma Paul, in lohng ke el sramsram ke ouiyen lulalfongi lal ke Christ Jesus.
After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Tuh ke Paul el srumun ke ouiyen moul suwohs, oayapa ke sifacna leum fac, ac ke Len in Nununku se su ac fah tuku, Felix el sangeng ac fahk, “Kom ku in tari som. Nga fah sifil pangon kom fin oasr pacl luk.”
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 El tuh finsrak mu Paul el ac sang mani nu sel, ac ke sripa se inge el solal pacl pus in sramsram nu sel.
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 Tukun yac luo, Porcius Festus el aolulla Felix in governor. Felix el lungse akinsewowoye insien mwet Jew, ouinge el fililyana Paul in presin.
But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
