Five days later Ananias the high priest, [having heard that Paul was now in Caesarea], went down [there from Jerusalem], along with some [other Jewish] elders and a lawyer [whose name was] Tertullus. There they formally told the governor what Paul had done [that they considered] wrong.
2 ২ ততঃ পৌলে সমানীতে সতি তর্তুল্লস্তস্যাপৱাদকথাং কথযিতুম্ আরভত হে মহামহিমফীলিক্ষ ভৱতো ৱযম্ অতিনির্ৱ্ৱিঘ্নং কালং যাপযামো ভৱতঃ পরিণামদর্শিতযা এতদ্দেশীযানাং বহূনি মঙ্গলানি ঘটিতানি,
[The governor commanded] Paul to be brought {[a soldier] to bring Paul} in. [When Paul arrived], Tertullus began to accuse him. He said [to the governor], “Honorable Governor Felix, during the many years that you [(sg)] have ruled us, we [(exc)] have lived well/peacefully. By planning wisely, you have improved many things in this province.
[Therefore], sir, we [(exc)] always gratefully acknowledge everything that [you have done] for all [of us], wherever [you have done those things].
But, so that I will not take up too much of your time, I earnestly request that you kindly listen to me very briefly.
5 ৫ এষ মহামারীস্ৱরূপো নাসরতীযমতগ্রাহিসংঘাতস্য মুখ্যো ভূৎৱা সর্ৱ্ৱদেশেষু সর্ৱ্ৱেষাং যিহূদীযানাং রাজদ্রোহাচরণপ্রৱৃত্তিং জনযতীত্যস্মাভি র্নিশ্চিতং|
We [(exc)] have observed that this man, [wherever he goes], causes trouble. [Specifically], he causes all the Jews everywhere [HYP] to riot. [Also], he leads the entire group [whom people call] ‘the followers of the Nazarene’, a [false] sect.
6 ৬ স মন্দিরমপি অশুচি কর্ত্তুং চেষ্টিতৱান্; ইতি কারণাদ্ ৱযম্ এনং ধৃৎৱা স্ৱৱ্যৱস্থানুসারেণ ৱিচারযিতুং প্রাৱর্ত্তামহি;
He even tried to do things in the Temple [in Jerusalem] that would (defile it/make it unholy). So we [(exc)] seized him.
But Lysias, the commander at the Roman fort, came with his soldiers and forcefully took him away from us [SYN].
8 ৮ এতস্যাপৱাদকান্ ভৱতঃ সমীপম্ আগন্তুম্ আজ্ঞাপযৎ| ৱযং যস্মিন্ তমপৱাদামো ভৱতা পদপৱাদকথাযাং ৱিচারিতাযাং সত্যাং সর্ৱ্ৱং ৱৃত্তান্তং ৱেদিতুং শক্ষ্যতে|
Lysias also commanded Paul’s accusers to come here and accuse Paul before you. If you question him yourself, you will be able to learn that all these things about which we are accusing him are true.”
When the Jewish [leaders who were listening heard that, they] told [the governor that] what Tertullus had said was true.
10 ১০ অধিপতৌ কথাং কথযিতুং পৌলং প্রতীঙ্গিতং কৃতৱতি স কথিতৱান্ ভৱান্ বহূন্ ৱৎসরান্ যাৱদ্ এতদ্দেশস্য শাসনং করোতীতি ৱিজ্ঞায প্রত্যুত্তরং দাতুম্ অক্ষোভোঽভৱম্|
Then the governor motioned with [his hand to Paul that] he should speak. So Paul replied. He said, “[Governor Felix, I know that you(sg) have judged this Jewish] province for many years. Therefore I gladly defend myself, confident [that you will listen to me and will judge me fairly].
11 ১১ অদ্য কেৱলং দ্ৱাদশ দিনানি যাতানি, অহম্ আরাধনাং কর্ত্তুং যিরূশালমনগরং গতৱান্ এষা কথা ভৱতা জ্ঞাতুং শক্যতে;
You [(sg)] can [easily] ascertain that (it has not been more than twelve days since/only twelve days ago) I went up went up to Jerusalem to worship [God. That is not enough time to cause a lot of trouble].
12 ১২ কিন্ত্ৱিভে মাং মধ্যেমন্দিরং কেনাপি সহ ৱিতণ্ডাং কুর্ৱ্ৱন্তং কুত্রাপি ভজনভৱনে নগরে ৱা লোকান্ কুপ্রৱৃত্তিং জনযন্তুং ন দৃষ্টৱন্তঃ|
No one [can claim legitimately that they] saw me arguing with anyone at the Temple courts [because I did not do that. No one can claim legitimately that they saw me] causing people to riot in [any Jewish meeting place], or causing trouble anywhere [else] in [Jerusalem] city, [because I did not do that].
So they cannot prove to you the things about which they are now accusing me.
14 ১৪ কিন্তু ভৱিষ্যদ্ৱাক্যগ্রন্থে ৱ্যৱস্থাগ্রন্থে চ যা যা কথা লিখিতাস্তে তাসু সর্ৱ্ৱাসু ৱিশ্ৱস্য যন্মতম্ ইমে ৱিধর্ম্মং জানন্তি তন্মতানুসারেণাহং নিজপিতৃপুরুষাণাম্ ঈশ্ৱরম্ আরাধযামীত্যহং ভৱতঃ সমক্ষম্ অঙ্গীকরোমি|
But I admit to you [(sg) that this is true]: I do worship the God that our ancestors [worshipped. It is true that] I follow the way that [Jesus taught us]. The Jewish leaders call that a false religion/teaching. I also believe everything that was written [by Moses] {that [Moses wrote]} in the laws that [God gave him], and everything that was written by the [other] prophets {that the [other] prophets wrote} [in their books] [MTY].

I confidently expect, just like [some of] these men also expect, that [some day God] will cause everyone who has died to become alive again. He will (cause to become alive again/raise from the dead) both those who were righteous and those who were wicked.
[Because I am confidently waiting for that day], I always try to do what pleases God and what other people think is right.
17 ১৭ বহুষু ৱৎসরেষু গতেষু স্ৱদেশীযলোকানাং নিমিত্তং দানীযদ্রৱ্যাণি নৈৱেদ্যানি চ সমাদায পুনরাগমনং কৃতৱান্|
After I [had been in other places for] several years, I returned to Jerusalem. I went there to deliver some money to my fellow Jews [who are] poor, and to offer sacrifices [to God].
18 ১৮ ততোহং শুচি র্ভূৎৱা লোকানাং সমাগমং কলহং ৱা ন কারিতৱান্ তথাপ্যাশিযাদেশীযাঃ কিযন্তো যিহুদীযলোকা মধ্যেমন্দিরং মাং ধৃতৱন্তঃ|
Some [Jews] saw me in the temple [courts] after I had completed the ritual by which a person is made {that makes a person} pure. There was no crowd with me, and I was not causing [people] to riot.
But it was some [other] Jews [who had come] from Asia [province who really caused people to riot. They] should be here in front of you [(sg)] to accuse me, if they thought that I [did] something [wrong].
20 ২০ নোচেৎ পূর্ৱ্ৱে মহাসভাস্থানাং লোকানাং সন্নিধৌ মম দণ্ডাযমানৎৱসমযে, অহমদ্য মৃতানামুত্থানে যুষ্মাভি র্ৱিচারিতোস্মি,
[But if they] do not [want to do that] (OR, [But because they] are [not] here), these [Jewish] men who are here should tell you [(sg)] what [they think] I did that was wrong, when I [defended myself] before their Council.
21 ২১ তেষাং মধ্যে তিষ্ঠন্নহং যামিমাং কথামুচ্চৈঃ স্ৱরেণ কথিতৱান্ তদন্যো মম কোপি দোষোঽলভ্যত ন ৱেতি ৱরম্ এতে সমুপস্থিতলোকা ৱদন্তু|
[They might say that] one thing that I shouted as I stood before them [was wrong. What I said] was, ‘You are judging me today because I believe that [God] will (cause [all people] who have died to become alive again/raise [all people] from the dead).’”
22 ২২ তদা ফীলিক্ষ এতাং কথাং শ্রুৎৱা তন্মতস্য ৱিশেষৱৃত্তান্তং ৱিজ্ঞাতুং ৱিচারং স্থগিতং কৃৎৱা কথিতৱান্ লুষিযে সহস্রসেনাপতৌ সমাযাতে সতি যুষ্মাকং ৱিচারম্ অহং নিষ্পাদযিষ্যামি|
Felix already knew quite a lot about [what people called] ‘the way [of Jesus’]. But he did not let Paul or his accusers continue to speak. [Instead], he said [to them], “[Later], when Commander Lysias comes down here, I will decide these matters that concern you all.”
23 ২৩ অনন্তরং বন্ধনং ৱিনা পৌলং রক্ষিতুং তস্য সেৱনায সাক্ষাৎকরণায ৱা তদীযাত্মীযবন্ধুজনান্ ন ৱারযিতুঞ্চ শমসেনাপতিম্ আদিষ্টৱান্|
Then he told the officer [who was guarding Paul] to [take Paul back to the prison and] make sure that he was guarded all the time. But he said that Paul was not to be chained {that the officer was not to fasten chains on him}, and if his friends came to visit him, [the officer] should allow them to help Paul [in any way that they wished].
24 ২৪ অল্পদিনাৎ পরং ফীলিক্ষোঽধিপতি র্দ্রুষিল্লানাম্না যিহূদীযযা স্ৱভার্য্যযা সহাগত্য পৌলমাহূয তস্য মুখাৎ খ্রীষ্টধর্ম্মস্য ৱৃত্তান্তম্ অশ্রৌষীৎ|
Several days later Felix and his wife Drusilla, who was a Jew, came [back to Caesarea after having been away for a few days]. Felix [commanded] Paul to be brought in {[a soldier to] bring Paul in}. Then Felix listened to what Paul [said to him]. Paul spoke about what [Christians] believe about the Messiah Jesus.

Paul explained [to them about what God requires people] to do in order to please him. [He also explained about God requiring people to] control how they act. [Paul also told him that there will be a time when God] will judge [people]. Felix became alarmed [after hearing those things. So] he said to Paul, “That is all I [want to hear] now. When there is a time that is convenient I will ask you [(sg)] to come [to me again].”
26 ২৬ মুক্তিপ্রপ্ত্যর্থং পৌলেন মহ্যং মুদ্রাদাস্যন্তে ইতি পত্যাশাং কৃৎৱা স পুনঃ পুনস্তমাহূয তেন সাকং কথোপকথনং কৃতৱান্|
[Felix said that because] he hoped that Paul would give him some money [to allow Paul to get out of prison]. So he repeatedly sent for Paul to come, and Paul [repeatedly went and] talked with him. [But he] did not [give Felix any money, and Felix did not command his soldiers to release Paul from prison].
27 ২৭ কিন্তু ৱৎসরদ্ৱযাৎ পরং পর্কিযফীষ্ট ফালিক্ষস্য পদং প্রাপ্তে সতি ফীলিক্ষো যিহূদীযান্ সন্তুষ্টান্ চিকীর্ষন্ পৌলং বদ্ধং সংস্থাপ্য গতৱান্|
Felix let Paul remain in prison, because he wanted to please the Jewish [leaders and he knew that they did not want him to release Paul]. But when two years had passed, Porcius Festus became governor in place of Felix.
