Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 24
1 Seli fai lima ma, atahori Yahudi mana rae radꞌedꞌea ro Paulus ra losa kota Kaisarea. Sia nononggoꞌ naa, hambu Ananias. Eni malangga agama Yahudi ra malangga monae na. Malangga feaꞌ ra o rema boe. Ara rema ro atahori feaꞌ esa, nara na Tertulus. Ana olaꞌ nahine. Naa de ara ro e, dadꞌi sira mana ola-ola na fo labꞌan Paulus.
After five days, Ananias the chief priest, certain elders, and an orator named Tertullus went there. These men brought charges against Paul before the governor.
2 Atahori ra basa se raꞌabꞌue mia mamana nggenggero dedꞌeat ena ma, hofernor denu ro Paulus masoꞌ. Boe ma Tertulus fela nambariiꞌ, nae olaꞌ naꞌatutudꞌaꞌ Paulus. Ana fee hadaꞌt neu hofernor, ma olaꞌ nae, “Ama hofernor! Dꞌoo basa ia, eniꞌ a amaꞌ toꞌu parendaꞌ sia ia, amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ maloleꞌ saa fo fee nema hai. Ma amaꞌ tao maloleꞌ dalaꞌ naeꞌ, losa hai atahori Yahudi ra misodꞌa no sodꞌa-moleꞌ. De faiꞌ ia hai mae moꞌe makasi naeꞌ neu amaꞌ. Te se fai, mana bisa tao maloleꞌ naeꞌ sia bee-bꞌee onaꞌ amaꞌ ia.
When Paul stood before the governor, Tertullus began to accuse him and said to the governor, “Because of you we have great peace, and your foresight brings good reform to our nation;
so with all thankfulness we welcome everything that you do, most excellent Felix.
4 Au nda olaꞌ naeꞌ sa. Au olaꞌ neuꞌ a sosoa na. Dadꞌi au oꞌe amaꞌ rena malolole, saaꞌ fo au ae ufadꞌe soꞌal Paulus ia.
So that I detain you no more, I ask you to briefly listen to me with kindness.
5 Taꞌo ia, amaꞌ. Sia hai atahori Yahudi ra, Paulus ia, onaꞌ hedꞌis esa mana lali mia mamanaꞌ esa nisiꞌ mamana feaꞌ. Ana hiiꞌ a labꞌan hai agama ma, ma tao nalulutu hai adat ma sia bee-bꞌee. Ana bee neu o, atahori Yahudi ra radꞌedꞌea esa no esa. Eni, malangga mana matatale mia partei agama mana tungga atahori Nasaret esa, fo hai mae ‘partei Nasarani’. Te saa fo ranoriꞌ naa, sala no hai agama na nanori ma.
For we have found this man to be a pest and one who causes all the Jews throughout the world to rebel. He is a leader of the Nazarene sect.
6 Atahori ia, nae nanggenggeo hai Ume Hule-oꞌe Huu meumare ma, huu ana nendi atahori dintiu nisiꞌ rala neu. Naa de, hai toꞌu e. [Tungga hai hihii ma, hai mae hukun e tungga hai atoran ma.
He even tried to desecrate the temple, so we arrested him.
7 Te malangga soldꞌadꞌu Lisias nema lea nala e mia hai lima mara.
8 Ana parenda oi, mete ma hambu atahori rae radꞌedꞌea ro Paulus, naa, rema randaa ro amaꞌ sia Kaisarea. Ana nauꞌ a, hofernor mana nggero dedꞌeat ia] Naa de, hai ima fo amaꞌ paresaꞌ dedꞌeat ia. Dei fo amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ basa saa fo hai olaꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Hai oꞌola ma, taꞌo a ia ena. Makasi, amaꞌ.”
When you question Paul about all these matters, you will be able to learn about these charges we are bringing against him.”
9 Tertulus olaꞌ basa ma, atahori Yahudi feaꞌ ra raꞌaheiꞌ tungga rae, “Tebꞌe, amaꞌ! Memaꞌ taꞌo naa.”
The Jews also joined in the accusation, affirming that these charges were true.
10 Basa naa ma, hofernor sein Paulus oi, “Au fee ho musulaꞌe ao ma.” Paulus fela nambariiꞌ ma olaꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ hofernor! Amaꞌ parenda sia nusaꞌ ia, dooꞌ ena. Amaꞌ bubꞌuluꞌ basa hai atahori Yahudi masodꞌa ma sia ia. huu naa, au nda umutau usulaꞌe ao ngga sia amaꞌ mata na sa.
But when the governor motioned for Paul to speak, Paul answered, “I understand that for many years you have been a judge to this nation, and so I gladly explain myself to you.
11 Mbei ma fai sanahulu rua mana neuꞌ naa, au isiꞌ Yerusalem fo uu hule-oꞌe sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Amaꞌ bisa natane atahori mana hule-oꞌe ro auꞌ ra.
You will be able to find out that it has not been more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
12 Au nda ureresi saa saꞌ boe sia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a. Ma sia ume hule-oꞌe feaꞌ ra o, au nda uꞌubꞌue atahori fo ramue sa. Au o nda tao haras sia Yerusalem saꞌ boe.
When they found me in the temple, I did not argue with anyone, and I did not stir up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
13 Te ia naa, atahori ia ra rae raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ au. Te saa fo ara olaꞌ faaꞌ ra, naa nda ma bukti saa saꞌ boe.
They cannot prove to you the accusations they are now making against me.
14 Taꞌo ia, amaꞌ hofernor. Au musi utaa dalaꞌ esa neu amaꞌ. Au tungga partei feuꞌ esa, fo atahori ra ranara e oi, ‘Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.’ Au hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, onaꞌ a au bei-bai nggara hule-oꞌe neu E boe. Au o tungga baꞌi Musa atoran nara, ma umuhere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ neu saa fo Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara suraꞌ hela fee hai.
But I admit this to you, that according to the Way that they call a sect, in that same way I serve the God of our fathers. I am faithful to all that is in the law and the writings of the prophets.
15 Au umuhena Lamatualain onaꞌ atahori ia ra, fo mana rambariiꞌ labꞌan au ra. Hai mimihere mae, Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra: mae atahori maloleꞌ, do deulakaꞌ o, ona esaꞌ.
I have the same confident hope in God as these men, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
16 Naa de, au manggate tao-taoꞌ fo usodꞌa no rala ndos sia Lamatualain ma atahori mata na. No taꞌo naa, nda hambu atahori raꞌatutudꞌaꞌ au sa.
So I always strive to have a clear conscience before God and human beings.
17 Au tao ues too hira ena sia rae Israꞌel deaꞌ, dei de au baliꞌ Yerusalem uma. Au uma endi doiꞌ fo atahori raꞌadꞌuru, fo tulu-fali neu hai atahori manasusaꞌ ra. Boe ma, au o isiꞌ Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a, fo ae hule-oꞌe ma fee tutunu-hohotuꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ neu Lamatualain.
Now after many years I came to bring help to my nation and gifts of money.
18 Te, au feꞌe umeu ao ngga sia naa tungga hai atoran adat na ma, ara rema rae toꞌu au. Leleꞌ naa, atahori mbeiꞌ a mia naa, ma esa nda namue saa mia naa saꞌ boe!
When I did this, certain Jews from Asia found me in a purification ceremony in the temple, not with a crowd or an uproar.
19 Sia naa, akaꞌ a atahori Yahudi hira rema mia nusaꞌ Asia rae hule-oꞌe. De mete ma ara raꞌena soꞌal ro au, naa, sira mana rae radꞌedꞌea ro au sia ia. Te nda ama nggara ia ra sa!
These men ought to be before you now and say what they have against me, if they have anything.
20 Te atahori naa ra nda rema sa. De amaꞌ natane sobꞌa atahori ia ra, au sala ngga saa? Faiꞌ naa, ara paresaꞌ au mia mamana nggenggero dedꞌeat agama, te ara nda hambu au sala ngga saa saꞌ boe. Amaꞌ natane se a!
Or else, these same men should say what wrong they found in me when I stood before the Jewish council,
21 Akaꞌ a mbei ma dalaꞌ esa, mana tao se ramue ma nda hii au sa. Leleꞌ au olaꞌ uhereꞌ ae, ‘Hei mae hukun au, huu au umuhere ae, Lamatualain bisa tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra!’”
unless it is about this one thing that I shouted out when I stood among them, 'It is concerning the resurrection of those who have died that I am on trial before you today.'”
22 Paulus olaꞌ taꞌo naa, te hofernor Feliks nahine naeꞌ ena, soꞌal ‘Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na’. Naa de, ana nateꞌe neꞌebuꞌet naa oi, “Taꞌo ia! Au ae oꞌe malangga Lisias, fo rena dudꞌui na dei. Au olaꞌ basa o e, fo au feꞌe uꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat ia ena.”
Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, ajourned the hearing. He said, “When Lysias the commander comes down from Jerusalem, I will decide your case.”
23 Boe ma ana denu malangga soldꞌadꞌu esa neu ai hela Paulus. Te ana parenda fo fee fai loaꞌ mbei neu Paulus, ma afiꞌ naꞌangge nonoo nara rema tao mata neu e.
Then he commanded the centurion that Paul should be kept under guard, but to have some freedom so that none of his friends would be prevented from attending to his needs.
24 Hofernor Feliks sao na, atahori Yahudi, nara na Drusila. Seli fai hira ma, ana sangga fai loaꞌ fo no sao na rae ola-olaꞌ ro Paulus. Naa de, ana denu rendi Paulus neu nandaa no ruꞌa se. Boe ma Paulus nafadꞌe ruꞌa se taꞌo bee fo atahori ramahere neu Yesus Kristus, atahori fo Lamatualain helu basa mia dalahulu na.
After some days, Felix returned with Drusilla his wife, a Jewess, and he sent for Paul and he heard from him about faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Ana o nafadꞌe taꞌo bee fo atahori rasodꞌa ndos, ma ranea ao nara fo afiꞌ tao salaꞌ. Ana o nafadꞌe oi, dei fo Lamatualain hukun basa atahori. Feliks rena nala ma, ana namatau, de nafadꞌe Paulus nae, “Paulus. Dai ena. Losaꞌ a ia leo! Mete ma hambu fai loaꞌ fai fo, au oꞌe seluꞌ nggo.”
But when Paul reasoned with him about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “Go away for now. But when I have the opportunity later on, I will send for you.”
26 Mae Feliks rala na namatau, te onaꞌ o ana sangga dalaꞌ fo Paulus soro fee ne dꞌoiꞌ, fo ana mboꞌi e. Naa de, ana akaꞌ a noꞌe Paulus fo ola-olaꞌ no e.
At the same time he wanted Paul to give money to him, so he often sent for him and spoke with him.
27 Te huu sia dala esa fai, hofernor Feliks o haꞌi ralaꞌ no malangga agama Yahudi ra. Naa de, ana nda naꞌetuꞌ Paulus dedꞌea na lai-lai sa. Ana hela dedꞌeat naa too rua. Basa ma, hofernor feuꞌ sa, nara na Porkius Festus, nema nggati e. Te ara feꞌe ranea rahereꞌ Paulus.
But when two years passed, Porcius Festus became the governor after Felix, but Felix wanted to gain favor with the Jews, so he left Paul to continue under guard.
