Wiawia 24
1 A MURIN ran limau jamero lapalap Ananiaj kotido ianaki jaumaj akai, o jaunlokaia men, me ad a Tertuluj; irail weiwei loke Pauluj ren kopina.
AND after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
2 A lao wijikedo, Tertuluj ap pikikidi weiweiloke i indada:
And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
3 Kit ajaer duen muein popol re omui o duen kamau toto kan on toun wei wet, pweki omui kalanan main Pelikj. O i me j e kapikapina kin komui anjau o waja karoj.
We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 A i jota men kapanai komui, iet eta me i poeki re omui: Komui en kotin mani kit duen omui kalanan.
Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
5 Pwe je diaradar, me ol men et me morjued o me kin kapeida Juj akan karoj, me mi jappa, o i me jaumaj en pwin likam en Najaret,
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 Me pil jon kajaminela im en kaudok o, i me je koledi i, pwen kadeikada, duen at kapun o.
Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
7 A monjap Lijiaj kotin pwarado, kotiki jan i nan pa at ki a manaman lapalap,
But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Majani on me weiweiloke i, en poto don re omui, a komui lao kalekalelapok re irail, kom pan pein mani duen meakan, me je pan kila i.
Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
9 A Juj oko pil weiweiloke Pauluj indada: Mepukat melel!
And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
10 A kopina lao olol on Pauluj, en kaparok, a ap kotin japen majani: Ni ai ajaer, me komui jaunkapun pan toun wei wet jaunpar toto, i peren kida, ai pan indinda duen pein nai.
Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
11 Pwe komui pan mani, me pon naul ria pon eta, me i kodalan Ierujalem pwen kaudok.
Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
12 A irail jota diar ia da lokaia on amen nan im en kaudok, de kapeida aramaj oko nan jinakoke kan de nan kanim o.
And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
13 O re pil jota kak kadede, me re pan kin ia la met.
Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
14 A iet eta, me i men kadede on komui, ni ai kin kamelele karoj, me intinidier nan jaukop akan o kapun o, i kin kaudoki on Kot en jam ai kan duen tiak en ir, me re kaadaneki pwin likam.
But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 O i kaporoporeki Kot me irail pil kamelele me melar akan pan maureda, me pun o me japun kan.
And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 A i me i kin jojonki pein nai, pwe lol i en pun mon Kot o aramaj akan.
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
17 A murin par toto i kodon wa don toun jap wet kijakij eu o wiadar mairon.
Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
18 I anjau, me re diar ia makelekeladar nan im en kaudok o jota weriwer de moromoron.
Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
19 A ir pukat Juj akai nan Ajien menda re jota mi met mo’mui, kadede nai, ma re diar me jued kot re i?
Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
20 De mepukat en pein kajanjaleda japun da, me re diar re i ni ai mi mon kapun o.
Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
21 A iet eta lepen lokaia, me i kida ni ai udar nan pun ar indada: En me melar akan ar pan maureda, i pan pakadeikki ran wet re omail.
Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
22 A Pelikj lao ereki mepukat, pwe a mani mau duen al pot et, ap kajau ir wei majani: Kaun Lijiaj lao kotido, i ap pan kaimwijokela omail kapun.
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
23 I ap majani on kaun en kolekol Pauluj o kajaladokela i, o ender inapwiedi ian a kan, en kodon papa i.
And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
24 A murin ran akai Pelikj pwarado, a paud Drujila ian i, iei li en Juj amen, ap molipedo Pauluj o karone i duen lamalam en Krijtuj.
And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
25 A ni a kapakaparok duen pun, o makelekel, o kadeik, me pan wiaui, Pelikj ap majapwe kadar o japen: U kowei anjau wet, i lao pijokalar, i pan eker uk do.
And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
26 A pil kaporoporeki, me Pauluj pan kotiki on i moni, pwen lapwada i; i me a purepure ekeker kido i o kajokajoi on i.
He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
27 A murin par riau Porjiuj Pejtuj japwiladar wiliandi Pelikj. A Pelijk men konekon ren Juj oko, ap jota lapwada Pauluj.
But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix’ room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
