Pakhonchatpa 23
1 Paul-na Sanhedrin-gi misingda munna yenglaga hairak-i, “Eigi ichil inaosa, ngasi numit asi phaoba eina Tengban Mapugi mangda hingjarakliba asida eigi achum aran khangba pukning asi mapung phana sengna leijari.”
Then Paul, fixing a steady gaze on the Sanhedrin, said, "Brethren, it is with a perfectly clear conscience that I have discharged my duties before God up to this day."
2 Maduda Purohitlen Ananias-na Paul-gi manakta leplamba mising aduda mahakpu machinda thajillu haina yathang pirammi.
On hearing this the High Priest Ananias ordered those who were standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
3 Maduda Paul-na mangonda hairak-i, “Angouba teisinba phaklang, Tengban Mapuna nahakpu soidana yeigani. Nahakna Wayelgi matung inna eibu wayelnaba mapham aduda phamli aduga nahakna eibu phunaba makhoida yathang piduna Wayel Yathang adubudi thugaire!”
"Before long," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you, you white-washed wall! Are you sitting there to judge me in accordance with the Law, and do you yourself actually break the Law by ordering me to be struck?"
4 Paul-gi manakta leplamba mising aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Kari natik leiduna nahakna Tengban Mapugi Purohitlenbu ikaiba pibra?”
"Do you rail at God's High Priest?" cried the men who stood by him.
5 Maduda Paul-na khumlak-i, “Ichil inaosa, mahak Purohitlenni haibasi ei khang-houdare. Tengban Mapugi puyada asumna iduna lei, ‘Nahakna nakhoigi luchingbabu phattaba ngangloidabani.’”
"I did not know, brethren," replied Paul, "that he was the High Priest; for it is written, 'Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of Thy people.'"
6 Adubu makhoi kangbu kharadi Sadducee-singni aduga kangbu kharana Pharisee-singni haiba Paul-na khanglabada mahakna Sanhedrin-gi misingda laorak-i, “Eigi ichil inaosa, eihak Pharisee amani aduga Pharisee amagi machani. Asibasingna hinggatkani haiba asa leibagi eibu mapham asida wayel touribani.”
Noticing, however, that the Sanhedrin consisted partly of Sadducees and partly of Pharisees, he called out loudly among them, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees. It is because of my hope of a resurrection of the dead that I am on my trial."
7 Mahakna masi hek haibaga Pharisee-sing amasung Sadducee-singgi marakta yetnaba hourammi aduga miyam adu napak tanarammi.
These words of his caused an angry dispute between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly took different sides.
8 (Maramdi asibasingna hinggatloi amasung swarga dut amadi thawai leite haina Sadducee-singna hai adubu Pharisee-singnadi pumnamak asi lei haina thajei.)
For the Sadducees maintain that there is no resurrection, and neither angel nor spirit; but the Pharisees acknowledge the existence of both.
9 Aduga laonaba adu kankhatlaklammi aduga Pharisee-singgi kangluptagi wayel yathanggi ojasing kharana lepkhatlaga kanna yettuna hairak-i, “Eikhoina mi asida aranba amata phangde! Swarga dut amana nattraga thawai amana karigumba tasengna mangonda nganglamba thoklabadi?”
So there arose a great uproar; and some of the Scribes belonging to the sect of the Pharisees sprang to their feet and fiercely contended, saying, "We find no harm in the man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel----!"
10 Yetnaba adu yamna sathirakpadagi makhoina Paul-bu machet machet tana segaikhiba yai haina lanmi makok adu kirammi. Maram aduna lanmising adu kumthaduna Paul-bu makhoisinggi maraktagi namduna lanmi leiphamda puraknaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
But when the struggle was becoming violent, the Tribune, fearing that Paul would be torn to pieces by the people, ordered the troops to go down and take him from among them by force and bring him into the barracks.
11 Ahing aduda Mapu Ibungona Paul-gi manakta leptuna hairak-i, “Kiganu! Nahakna eigidamak Jerusalem-da sakhi piba adugumna Rome-dasu nahakna sakhi pigadabani.”
The following night the Lord came and stood at Paul's side, and said, "Be of good courage, for as you have borne faithful witness about me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness in Rome."
12 Mathanggi ayukta Jihudising khara punsinduna sarou ama sillammi. Paul-bu hattriba phaoba makhoina chasu charoi thaksu thakloi haina wasaklammi.
Now, when daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and solemnly swore not to eat or drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Sarou sinminakhibasi makhoi niphudagi hellammi.
There were more than forty of them who bound themselves by this oath.
14 Adudagi makhoina athoiba purohitsing amasung ahal lamansingda chattuna hairak-i, “Paul-bu hattriba phaoba eikhoi karigumba amata charoi haina akanba wasak amaga loinana wasaknare.
They went to the High Priests and Elders and said to them, "We have bound ourselves under a heavy curse to take no food till we have killed Paul.
15 Aduna houjikti mahakki maramda henna marik chumba pao louba pambagi mawongda Paul-bu hayeng nakhoigi mangda puthokpiraknaba nakhoi amadi Sanhedrin-na lanmi makok aduda pao pibiyu. Adubu mahakna mapham asida thungladringeida eikhoina mahakpu hatanaba thourang toure.”
Now therefore you and the Sanhedrin should make representations to the Tribune for him to bring him down to you, under the impression that you intend to inquire more minutely about him; and we are prepared to assassinate him before he comes near the place."
16 Adubu Paul-gi machan nupigi machanupana makhoina sinba sarou adugi maramda tarammi. Maram aduna mahakna lanmi leiphamda changduna Paul-da madu tamlammi.
But Paul's sister's son heard of the intended attack upon him. So he came and went into the barracks and told Paul about it;
17 Adudagi Paul-na lanmi chamagi mapu ama kouduna mangonda hairak-i, “Nupamacha asi lanmi makokki maphamda pukho maramdi mahakna mangonda haigadaba wa khara lei.”
and Paul called one of the Captains and said, "Take this young man to the Tribune, for he has information to give him."
18 Lanmi chamagi mapu aduna mahakpu lanmi makokki maphamda puraktuna hairak-i, “Phadok oiriba Paul-na eibu kouraga nupamacha asina nangonda haigadaba karigumba khara lei mahakpu nahakki nanakta punaba haijare.”
So he took him and brought him to the Tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him and begged me to bring this youth to you, because he has something to say to you."
19 Lanmi makok aduna mahakpu makhut paiduna tonganna puthoklaga mangonda hanglak-i, “Nangna eingonda kari hainingba lei?”
Then the Tribune, taking him by the arm, withdrew out of the hearing of others and asked him, "What have you to tell me?"
20 Mahakna hairak-i, “Paul-bu hayeng Sanhedrin-da puthorakpa yanaba Jihudisinggi luchingbasingna mahakki maramda henna marik chumba pao louba pambagi mawong sasinnaduna nangonda haijanaba yanare.
"The Jews," he replied, "have agreed to request you to bring Paul down to the Sanhedrin to-morrow for the purpose of making yourself more accurately acquainted with the case.
21 Adubu makhoina haiba nahakna tabiganu maramdi nupa niphudagi henbana mahakpu hatnaba lumduna leiri. Makhoina Paul-bu hattriba phaoba kari amata chaba nattraga thakpa touroi haina wasaknakhre. Madu pangthoknaba makhoi houjik thourang touduna leire amasung nahakki ayaba ngaiduna leiri.”
I beg you not to comply; for more than forty men among them are lying in wait for him, who have solemnly vowed that they will neither eat nor drink till they have assassinated him; and even now they are ready, in anticipation of receiving that promise of you."
22 Adudagi lanmi makok aduna mangonda hairak-i, “Nahakna eingonda pao asi tamkhre haibasi kana amatada haiganu.” Adudagi mahakna naha adu chat-hankhre.
So the Tribune sent the youth home, cautioning him. "Do not let any one know that you have given me this information," he said.
23 Aduga lanmi makok aduna lanmi chamagi mapu anibu kouraga hairak-i, “Ngasi numidang pung mapan taba matamda Caesarea-da chatnanaba lanmi chani thourang tou amasung sagol lanmi humphutara amadi ta paiba mi chani punna thourang tou.
Then, calling to him two of the Captains, he gave his orders. "Get ready two hundred men," he said, "to march to Caesarea, with seventy cavalry and two hundred light infantry, starting at nine o'clock to-night."
24 Aduga Paul-bu sagol tonghanduna puraga leingak mapu Felix-ki maphamda asoi angam leitana younaba sagol khara thourang tou.”
He further told them to provide horses to mount Paul on, so as to bring him safely to Felix the Governor.
25 Mahakna ayiba che ama asumna i-khi:
He also wrote a letter of which these were the contents:
26 “Claudius Lysias, matik chaoraba leingak mapu Felix-ta: khurumjari.
"Claudius Lysias to his Excellency, Felix the Governor: all good wishes.
27 Jihudisingna nupa asi phaduna hatke touramle adubu mahak Rome-gi mini haiba eina khanglakpada eigi lanmi kangbu amaga loinana eina chattuna mahakpu kankhi.
This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and they were on the point of killing him, when I came upon them with the troops and rescued him, for I had been informed that he was a Roman citizen.
28 Makhoina mahakpu kari maral theijillibano haiba eina khangningduna eina mahakpu makhoigi Sanhedrin-da puthokkhi.
And, wishing to know with certainty the offense of which they were accusing him, I brought him down into their Sanhedrin,
29 Aduga makhoigi wayel yathanggi wahanggi maramda mangonda maral theijinbani haiba eina khangle. Adubu mahakna siba yaba nattraga keisumsangda thamba yabagi matik chaba aranba thabak amata toukhide.
and I discovered that the charge had to do with questions of their Law, but that he was accused of nothing for which he deserves death or imprisonment.
30 Mahakki maiyokta sarou ama sille haibasi eina pao phanglabada khudakta eina mahakpu nahakki naphamda thanaba leple. Aduga mahakki mathakta leiba makhoigi wakatsing adu nahakki mangda hainaba eina maral theijillibasing adudasu haikhre. Kainarasi.”
But now that I have received information of an intended attack upon him, I immediately send him to you, directing his accusers also to state before you the case they have against him."
31 Lanmising aduna makhoida piba yathang adu pangthoktuna ahing aduda makhoina Paul-bu Antipatris tanna pukhre.
So, in obedience to their orders, the soldiers took Paul and brought him by night as far as Antipatris.
32 Mathanggi numitta sagol lanmising adu Paul-ga loinana chatnaba thanamlaga khong lanmising adu makhoigi lanmi leipham aduda hallakle.
The next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the cavalry to proceed with him;
33 Aduga sagol lanmising aduna mahakpu puduna Caesarea-da thunglabada ayiba che adu leingak mapuda pire amadi Paul-busu mangonda sinnaramle.
and, the cavalry having reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the Governor, they brought Paul also to him.
34 Leingak mapu aduna ayiba che adu parammi aduga mahak kari lamdagino haina Paul-da hanglammi. Mahak Cilicia-dagini haiba mahakna khanglabada
Felix, after reading the letter, inquired from what province he was; and being told "from Cilicia,"
35 mahakna hairak-i, “Nahakpu naral siriba makhoising adu youraklaba matamda eina nahakki wakat tagani,” Aduga mahakpu Herod-ki praetorium-da ngak senduna thamnaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
he said, "I will hear all you have to say, when your accusers also have come." And he ordered him to be detained in custody in Herod's Palace.
