Asan'ny Apostoly 23
1 Nitalatse amy Sinedrionay t’i Paoly, nanao ty hoe: Ry roahalahiko, fa mpiaiñe an-kazavan-troke añatrefan’ Añahare iraho ampara’ ty andro toy.
And Paul having earnestly beheld the Sanhedrin, said, “Men, brothers, I have lived to God in all good conscience to this day”;
2 Aa le linili’ i Ananiasy mpisorom-bey o narine azeo ty hitampify aze am-palie’e.
and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike him on the mouth,
3 Le hoe t’i Paoly ama’e: Ho tampifien’ Añahare irehe, ty rìndri-foty tia. Ihe miambesatse ey handily ahy amy Hake te mone mañota Hake amy nandilia’o ho tampifieñey.
then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall, and you sit judging me according to the Law, and violating law, order me to be struck!”
4 Hoe ty asa’ o narineo: Mañondritse i talèm-pisoron’ Añaharey v’iheo?
And those who stood by said, “Do you revile the chief priest of God?”
5 Aa hoe t’i Paoly, Ry rahalahio, tsy nirendreko t’ie talèm-pisoroñe, fa pinatetse ty hoe: Ko injè’o ty mpifehe ondati’oo.
And Paul said, “I did not know, brothers, that he is chief priest, for it has been written: You will not speak evil of the ruler of your people”;
6 Ie nifohi’ i Paoly te Tsadoke ty ila’ iareo vaho Fariseo ty ila’e, le hoe ty koi’e amy fivoriy: Ry roahalahio, Fariseo iraho, ana’ ty Fariseo. Mijohañ’ etoan-draho hizakañe amy fitamañe te hitroatse o mihomakeo.
and Paul having known that one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the Sanhedrin, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee—son of a Pharisee—concerning [the] hope and resurrection of [the] dead I am judged.”
7 Amy fipaza’ey, le nifanointoiñe o Fariseoo naho o Tsadokeo vaho nifanarake i fivoriy.
And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,
8 (Liere’ o Tsadokeo ty fivañonam-beloñe, naho anjely, vaho arofo, f’ie fonga ifahara’ o Fariseoo.)
for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no resurrection, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
9 Nipoñak’ amy zao ty hozakozake, le niongake vaho nimanea’ ty Fariseo mpañoke Hake lietse ami’ty hoe: Tsy oni’ay ty hila’ ondatio. Ke tsinara’ ty fañahy he ty anjely?
And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees’ part having arisen, were striving, saying, “We find no evil in this man; and if a spirit spoke to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God”;
10 Niindra i hotakotakey, le nihakahaka i talè, hera ho rifodrifoteñe t’i Paoly, le linili’e o lahin-defo’eo ty hizotso mb’eo hanintak’ aze an-kaozarañe, hampoly aze mb’añ’akiba añe.
and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the army, having gone down, to seize him out of their midst, and to bring [him] into the stronghold.
11 Ie haleñe, le nijohañe añ’ila’eo t’i Talè nanao ty hoe: Mireareà! Fa hambañe ami’ty nitaroña’o ahy e Ierosaleme ao, ty ho taroñe’o e Roma añe.
And on the following night, the LORD having stood by him, said, “Take courage, Paul, for as you fully testified [to] the things concerning Me at Jerusalem, so you must also testify at Rome.”
12 Amy loak’ àndroy le nifañosoñe hikitrok’ aze o Tehodao, nifamehe am-panta te tsy hikama ndra hinoñe ampara’ te havetra’ iareo t’i Paoly.
And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, cursed themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink until they may kill Paul;
13 Mandikoatse ty efa-polo i nikilily rey.
and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,
14 Niheo mb’ amo beim-pisoroñeo naho o roaeo iereo nanao ty hoe: Nifamehe am-panta mijadoñe zahay te tsy hitsope-draha ampara’ te vonoe’ay t’i Paoly.
who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, “With a curse we accursed ourselves—to taste nothing until we have killed Paul;
15 Ie amy zao, ry amo Sinedrionaio, Ehe mihalalia amy talèy ty hanjotsoañe aze ama’ areo mintse hamotopotorañe aze, fa veka’e hanjevoñ’ aze zahay aolo’ t’ie mitotoke.
now, therefore, you, signify to the chief captain, with the Sanhedrin, that tomorrow he may bring him down to you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming near, are ready to put him to death.”
16 Fe tsinano’ ty ana-drahavave’ i Paoly i famandroñañey le nimb’eo nizilik’ añ’anjomba’ o lahin-defoñeo nitalily amy Paoly.
And the son of Paul’s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the stronghold, told Paul,
17 Kinanji’ i Paoly ty mpifehe zato, le hoe re: Endeso mb’amy talè ao ty ajalahy toy, fa aman-ko volañe’e.
and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, “Lead this young man to the chief captain, for he has something to tell him.”
18 Aa le nente’e naho nasese amy talèy, nanao ty hoe: Nitok’ ahy t’i Paoly mpirohy, nihalaly te hendeseñe ama’o ty ajalahy toy fa aman’ entañe.
He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him to the chief captain and says, “The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] to bring to you this young man, having something to say to you.”
19 Rinambe’ i talèy an-taña’e i ajalahiy le natola’e vaho nañontanea’e ty hoe: Ino ty enta’o ho ahiko?
And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, “What is that which you have to tell me?”
20 Hoe re: Fa nilahatse hihalaly ama’o o Tehodao ty haneseañe i Paoly mb’amy fivoriy ao hamaray, hanao sare hañotsohotso aze.
And he said, “The Jews agreed to request you, that tomorrow you may bring down Paul to the Sanhedrin, as being about to inquire something more exactly concerning him;
21 Ko no’o, amy te amandroña’ ty mandako ty efa-polo nifanta te tsy hikama ndra hinoñe ampara’ t’ie vinono; fa veka’e henaneo iereo, mandiñe ty fampitamà’o.
you, therefore, may you not yield to them, for there more than forty men of them lie in wait for him, who cursed themselves—not to eat nor to drink until they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from you.”
22 Aa le napo’ i talèy hiavotse i ajalahiy, ie fa nitoroa’e ty hoe: Ko mivolañe ama’ iaia i nitalilie’oy.
The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him], “Tell no one that you have shown these things to me”;
23 Kinanji’e ty mpifehe zato roe le natà’e ty hoe: Añajario lahin-defo roan-jato hikatsakatsake mb’e Kaisaria añe, naho mpiningi-tsoavala fitom-polo vaho mpitàm-pìletse roan-jato amy ora faha-telo’ i haleñeiy.
and having called a certain two of the centurions near, he said, “Make ready two hundred soldiers, that they may go on to Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, from the third hour of the night;
24 Toloro soavala hiningira’ i Paoly, le aseseo mb’am-pitsolohañe amy Ragova Feliksa añe.
also provide beasts, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe to Felix the governor”;
25 Nanokira’e taratasy hoe zao:
he having written a letter after this description:
26 Klaodio Lisia: Ho an-dRagova Feliksa, foloaingitroke, Fañanintsiñe!
“Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, greetings:
27 Ingo t’indaty tsinepa’ o Tehodao, le didý tsy ho vinono’ iereo, f’ie nivotrake eo reketse lahin-defoñe nandrombak’ aze, ie nirendreko te nte-Roma.
This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them—having come with the army, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;
28 Aa izaho te hahafohiñe ty talin-kitomboha’ iareo aze, le naseseko mb’amy Sinedriona’ iareoy,
and intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin,
29 fe nizoeko te ontane amo lili’ iareoo ty nanisíañe aze, le tsy amo sisì’eo ty mañeva hamonoañe ndra handrohizañe aze.
whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;
30 Ie nampaharendreheñe te nikililieñe indatiy, le nahitriko mb’ama’o mb’eo amy zao, vaho liniliko o mpanisý azeo te haseseke añatrefa’o ty talin-tsisì’ iareo.
and a plot having been intimated to me against this man—about to be of the Jews—I sent to you at once, having also given command to the accusers to say the things against him before you; be strong.”
31 Aa ie namantohañe, le nendese’ o lahin-defoñeo t’i Paoly naho nasese mb’e Antipatria mb’eo amy haleñey.
Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,
32 Amy loak’ àndroy le nampindrezeñe ama’e o mpiningi-tsoavalao vaho nimpoly mb’an-tobe mb’eo ty ila’e.
and on the next day, having permitted the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the stronghold;
33 Ie nipotìtse e Kaisaria añe, le natolotse amy Ragovay i taratasiy le nasese ama’e ka t’i Paoly.
those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
34 Vinaki’ i ragovay i taratasiy vaho nañontanea’e ty faritse nihirifa’e. Ie rendre’e te nte Kilkia,
And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;
35 le hoe re: Hitsanoñako naho avy o mpanisý azoo, le linili’e te hambenañe añ’ anjombam-pizakà’ i Heroda ao.
“I will hear you,” he said, “when your accusers may also have come”; he also commanded him to be kept in the Praetorium of Herod.
