Pakhonchatpa 24
1 Numit manganigi matungda Purohitlen Ananias-na ahal laman kharaga amadi Tertullus kouba wayel pathapki thabak touba amaga loinana Caesarea-da chatlammi. Aduga makhoina Paul-gi maiyokta leingak mapu Felix-ki maphamda wakatlammi.
After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2 Paul-bu kousillabada Tertullus-na Felix-ki mangda maral siba houraduna hairak-i, “He matik chaoraba Felix! Nahakki heisingna chingbibagi mapanna eikhoida matam sangna ingthaba leihanbire aduga eikhoigi leibak asigi phagadaba maru oiba ahongba kaya ama pubirakle.
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 Mapham pumnamakta amadi matam khudingda masibu taramna okchabaga loinana eikhoina nahakpu yamna thagatchei.
we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Eihak nahakki matambu sangna loujaningde, maram aduna eikhoigi telappa wapham kharadang thamjaba asi chanbiduna tabinaba eina haijari.
But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5 Nupa asi mang taknaba touba mini haiba eikhoina khangle. Mahakna taibangpan-gi mapham pumnamakta leiba Jihudisinggi marakta irang houhalli. Mahak Nazareth-ki kangbu adugi luchingba amani.
For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections amongst all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 Aduga mahakna Mapugi Sanglenbu maangthoknaba hotnarammi maram aduna eikhoina mahakpu phare. Aduna mahakpu eikhoigi wayel adugi matung inna wayenninglambani.
He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
7 Adubu lanmi makok Lysias-na laktuna mahakpu eikhoigi khuttagi namphuda pukhre.
8 Adudagi mahakki mathakta maral piningbasing adu nahakki mangda laknaba yathang pire. Karigumba nahakna misak asibu wahang paohanglabadi nahak nasamakna eikhoina mangonda siriba maral pumnamaksing adu mangondagi khangba ngamgani.”
By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9 Maral siriba aduda atei Jihudising aduna yaosinduna hairiba pumnamak asi achumbani hairammi.
The Judeans also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10 Adudagi leingak mapuna Paul-da wa ngangnaba inggit pirabada Paul-na hairak-i, “Phurup asigi mathakta nahakna chahi kaya wayel mapu ama oirakpani haiba ei khangjei. Maram aduna isa ngakthokchanaba nahakki mangda eina wa haijagabada asida ei haraojei.
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 defence,
11 Jerusalem-da eina Tengban Mapu khurumjanaba chatluba numit taranithoinidagi hendri haiba nahakna khanggani.
seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12 Eina Mapugi Sanglenda nattraga synagogue-singda nattraga sahar asigi mapham amatada kanagumba amataga yetnaba nattraga irang thok-hanba Jihudisingna thengnakhiba leikhide.
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 Nahakki naphamda eigi ithakta maral siriba asigi khudam changdam amata makhoina houjiksu piba ngamloi.
Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Adubu makhoina aranbani hairiba Lambi adugi tung injaduna eina eikhoigi ipa ipusinggi Tengban Mapubu khurumjei haibasi ei isana nahakki naphamda yajei. Aduga Moses-ki Wayel Yathangda i-ba pumnamak amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi lairiksingda ikhrabasing adu einasu thajei.
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 Mi pumnamak haibadi aphabasu phattabasu sibadagi hinggatkani haibagi asa makhoina toubagum eihaksu Tengban Mapugi maphamda asa adumak tou-i.
having hope towards God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 Maram aduna Tengban Mapugi amasung misinggi mangda eigi achum aran khangba pukning asi sengna thamjanaba eina matam pumnamakta kanna hotnajei.”
In this I also practise always having a conscience void of offence towards God and men.
17 “Jerusalem-dagi chahi kaya marum chatthokluraba matungda, eigi misingda pinaba senpham khara puduna amadi iratpot katnanaba mapham aduda ei chatlammi.
Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18 Eina laininggi oiba sengdokpagi thouram adu touba loiraba matungda Mapugi Sanglenda eina madu touringeida makhoina eibu thengnare. Mapham aduda miyamga eiga loinaba leikhide amasung irang houbasu leikhide.
amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19 Adubu Asia lamgi Jihudi kharadi mapham aduda leirammi; karigumba makhoina eigi ithakta iral sigadaba leiramlabadi makhoina nahakki namangda laktuna iral sisanu.
They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20 Nattraga mapham asida leiriba mising asina eina Sanhedrin mangda leppa matamda karamba wayel pathap thugaibagi iral phangkhibage haibadu makhoina haisanu.
Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21 ‘Asibasingna hinggatkani haina thajabagi maramna eibu ngasi wayellibani’ haiba masimatangdi eina makhoigi mangda leppa matamda laokhi.”
unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing amongst them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
22 Adudagi Lambi adugi maramda ningthina khangba Felix-na wayel adu yeithokkhi. “Lanmi makok Lysias-na lakpa matamda eina nakhoigi wapham adugi matangda warep tagani” haina mahakna makhoida hairammi.
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 Lanmi chamagi mapu aduda Paul-bu ngak senduna thamnaba amasung mahakpu maning makha tamba khara pinaba amadi mahakki marupsingna mahakki changgadabasing pibada ayaba pinaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
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 Numit kharagi matungda Felix-na mahakki nupi Jihudi ninggol Drusilla-ga loinana laklammi. Mahakna Paul-bu kouhalluraga Christta Jisuda thajabagi maramda mana ngangba adu tarammi.
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 Maduda achumba chatpagi, masa khudum chanjabagi amadi lakkadaba wayen-gi maramda mahakna nganglakpada, Felix-na kiraduna hairak-i, “Houjikki oinadi yare! Nahak chatpa yarani. Eina khudongchaba phangba matamda amuk kourakke.”
As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgement 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 Adum oinamak Paul-na mangonda sel khara pijagani haina mahakna asa toubani. Maram aduna mahakna Paul-bu toina kouduna wari sabani.
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 Chahi ani houkhraba matungda Porcius Festus-na leingak mapu oina Felix-ki mahut sille. Adubu Felix-na Jihudisingna mahakpu chanbinaba Paul-bu thadoktana keisumsangda adumak thanamkhi.
But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favour with the Judeans, Felix left Paul in bonds.
