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.
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 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.
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 Kut insewowo ke ma inge yen nukewa ac ke pacl nukewa, ac kut arulana kulo nu sum kac.
we accept it always, and in all places, most noble 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 may not further trouble you, I beseech you to hear us briefly, with your usual candor.
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 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 El oayapa srike in aktaekye Tempul, ac kut sruokilya.
who has attempted to profane the temple; and whom we apprehended, and would have judged according to our law;
but Lysias, the commander, coming upon us with a great force, took him away out of our hands,
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.”
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 Mwet Jew elos akkalemye lah elos insese nu ke kas in tukak inge nukewa.
And the Jews also gave their assent, saying, 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.
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 Kom ku in sifacna akpwayeye lah len na singoul luo somla pa nga tuh som nu Jerusalem in alu.
since you may know that it is no 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.
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 Ac elos tia pac ku in akpwayei nu sum ke ma elos tukakinyu kac inge.
nor can they produce any proof of the things concerning 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 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 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, 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 Ke ma inge, in pacl nukewa nga sang kuiyuk nufon tuh in nasnas insiuk ye mutun God ac ye mutun mwet uh.
And upon this account, I exercise myself to have always a conscience without offense toward God, and toward 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 several years, I came to bring alms 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.
upon which some Asiatic Jews found me purified in the temple; neither with multitude nor with tumult;
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.
who ought to have been present before you, and to accuse me, 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 let these themselves say, if, when I stood before the Sanhedrim,
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.’”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 El tuh finsrak mu Paul el ac sang mani nu sel, ac ke sripa se inge el solal pacl pus in sramsram nu sel.
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 Tukun yac luo, Porcius Festus el aolulla Felix in governor. Felix el lungse akinsewowoye insien mwet Jew, ouinge el fililyana Paul in presin.
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.
