Nyingnam 23
1 Paul dopam lo doonv nyi vdwa kaagap chinchinla minto, “Ngoogv Israel ajin vdwa! ngoogv haang lo Pwknvyarnv gv lvkwng lo kvvlo lokv silu gobv mvngla tulwksula lamtv lo singduridunv si ribwngching bv mvngbwk la ridunv.
And Paul, looking fixedly at the Sanhedrin, said, My brothers, my life has been upright before God till this day.
2 Nyibu butvyachok Ananias Paul gv nvchilo daknv vdwa ninyigv gaam nga nwknyato vla orto jito.
And the high priest, Ananias, gave orders to those who were near him to give him a blow on the mouth.
3 Paulnyi minto, “Pwknvyarnv ya nam nwkyare! Tanyum gvriabo no! No hoka dootola nga Pvbv lo kaala minjinv, no bunua nga mvtokv vla orto jinv no vjak Pvbv nga mvyak yadunv!”
Then Paul said to him, God will give blows to you, you whitewashed wall: are you here to be my judge by law, and by your orders am I given blows against the law?
4 Paul gv nvchilo daknv nyi vdwv ninyia minto, “No Pwknvyarnv gv Nyibu Butvyachok am miyakayadu!”
And those who were near said, Do you say such words against God's high priest?
5 Paul mirwkto, “Ngoogv Israel richam vdwv, Ngo ninyia Nyibu Butvyachok nvngv vla chima. Darwknv Kitap lo mindu, ‘Nonugv nyi vdwa rigvnvnga alvmanv gaam mima bvka.’”
And Paul said, Brother, I had no idea that he was the high priest: for it has been said, You may not say evil about the ruler of your people.
6 Vdwlo Paul Sadusis apam meegonyi okv Parisis kvgonyi kaapa tokudw, hv doopam lokv goklin toku, “Israel gv achiboru vdwa! Ngooka Parisis gvngv, Parisi gv kuu ngv. Nga si jwngkadaka duku ogulvgavbolo sinv ngv turkur dukunv vla mvngjwng kunam lvgalo!”
But when Paul saw that half of them were Sadducees and the rest Pharisees, he said in the Sanhedrin, Brothers, I am a Pharisee, and the son of Pharisees: I am here to be judged on the question of the hope of the coming back from the dead.
7 Ninyia vjakpigobv svbv minda namgola, Parisis vla Sadusis ngv yalung durap minsu lakula okv apam lokv apinain sitoku. (
And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.
8 Holvgabv Sadusis vdwv vbv minto sikunv nyi vdwv ho turkur kumare okv hoka ka nyidogindung vla okv dow go kaama dunv; vbvritola Parisis vdwv ho aom am mvngjwng nyadu.)
For the Sadducees say that there is no coming back from the dead, and no angels or spirits: but the Pharisees have belief in all these.
9 Gokyagokya kunamv gamtv yaya toku, okv Parisis lokv Pvbv tamsarnv meegonv daknya tokula okv achibv mintor nyadubv mintoku: “So nyi angv gvlo ngonu ogugoka lvkobv rimur namgo kaapama! Vbvritola dow vla nyidogindung ngv ninyia jvjvklvbv mimu rungdu ka nvpv!”
And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?
10 Larmi suku nvngv yalung duyak minsu nyatoku hokaku kamandar angv busu toku Paulnyi pamwk kuji mvngla. Vbvrikunamv ninyia orto jitoku ninyigv sipai vdwa apam bolo ila, Paulnyi bunugv lokv svvlinto okv hv sipai naam lo aagvto vtoku.
And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.
11 Ho ayu Paul gv dakku lo Ahtu dakming gvvto la minto, “Busu mabvkv! No ngo gvbv Jerusalem soka minkar jipv, okv Rom loka vbv dvdvbv rilaka.”
And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.
12 Arugunv nga Jius meegonv lvkobv kaarwk sila okv rungnamgo rungto. Bunu Paulnyi mvkima dvdvlo bunu dvnamtvngnam ogugoka dvku mare vla milv nyatoku.
And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.
13 Hoka champi lvyagobv doopam tvla lvkobv rungnyato.
And more than forty of them took this oath.
14 Vbvrikunamv bunu nyibu butv vdwlo okv nyigagatv vdwlo vngla minto, “Ngonuv lvkobv milv pvkunv ngonu Paulnyi mvkima dvdvlo oguka dvmare.
And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death
15 Vjak vbvrikunamv no okv kvba vdwv Roman kamandarnyi gaam go milwk tvka Paulnyi no gvlo igv modubv, ninyigv lokv mvvma rungmanv yunyingsa paadubv ridunv vla gwngtoka. Vbvritola ninyigv soka aachi madvbv ngonu ninyia mvki chore.”
So now, will you and the Sanhedrin make a request to the military authorities to have him sent down to you, as if you were desiring to go into the business in greater detail; and we, before ever he gets to you, will be waiting to put him to death.
16 Vbvritola Paul gv bormv gv kuunyilo angv mvki dubv gwngnam nga tvvpa tola; vkvlvgabv hv sipai doopamlo vngla kula Paulnyi mintamto.
But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.
17 Vbvrikunamv Paul nyigam akonyi gokla okv ninyia minto, “So yaapa nga kamandar gvlo aagv jitoka: hvkv gvlo ogugo ninyi minsvgo doodu.”
And Paul sent for a captain and said, Take this young man to your chief, for he has news for him.
18 Nyigam angv ninyia vnggvla, ninyia kamandar gvlo aagv jito, okv minto, “Patwk doonv Paul nga gokla okv nga tvvkala no gvlo so yaapa sum aagv jito vla, ogulvgavbolo hvkv gvlo nam ogugo minsvgo dopvkv vdu.”
So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you.
19 Kamandar angv ninyigv laak nga gakbwng tola, hv atubongv ninyia svsum laila, okv ninyia tvvkato, “No nga ogugo minsvgo dopvla?”
And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?
20 Ninyia minto, “Jius tujapkunam vdwv vkvpakv vmisilaku arunyi Paulnyi doopam lo boolwkla nam tvvka dubv vla minya do, kvba ngv hoka ninyigv lvkwng lo tvvkurtvrwk minsu dubv meego chinsv go dopvkv vla gwngre.
And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.
21 Vbvritola bunua tvvma bvka, vkvlvgavbolo hoka nyi champi lvyago toosila okv ninyigv lvgabv toyado. Bunu ninyia mvkima dvdvlo bunu dvmatvngma dubv milvminsu nyato. Bunu mvnwng ngv um ridukubv vla okv noogv minbwk kuji nama tooyala doonya duku.”
But do not give way to them, for more than forty of them are waiting for him, having taken an oath not to take food or drink till they have put him to death: and now they are ready, waiting for your order.
22 Kamandar ngv minto, “So sum no ngam minjipvnv vla yvvnyika mimpa mabvkv.” Okv hv yaapa anga vngmu toku.
So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.
23 Vbvrikunamv kamandar ninyigv nyigam anyi gunyi goklwkla okv minto, “Kaisaria lo vnggv dubv sipai lvngnyi go mingkumto, lvkobv gora jukya nvlo chamkanw go okv nungbung chilaknv nyi lvngnyi go, okv siyugv kia bajilo vngdubv mvpvripv tokula dooya laka.
And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:
24 Paulnyi gora lo awgo mvge jito juknv dubv okv gobunor Peliks gvlo alvbv aachi modubv.”
And get beasts so that they may put Paul on them, and take him safely to Felix, the ruler.
25 Orto jinv ngv siti ako ho vbv lvkto:
And he sent a letter in these words:
26 “Klaudius Laisias mvngdv kunam Gobunor Peliksnyi kumrwksidunv.
Claudius Lysias, to the most noble ruler, Felix, peace be with you.
27 Jius vdwv so nyi sum naatung tokula okv ninyia mvki dokubv rinya kunamv. Ho ngo ninyia Roman nyi gobv tvvpatvla, vkvlvgabv ngoogv sipai vdwa lvkobv ngo vnggvla okv ninyia ringpv kunv.
This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.
28 Ngo chinso mvngla bunu mvnwng ngv ninyia ogubv mvduridu nvdw, vkvlvgabv ngo ninyia bunugv kvbadoopam lo igv jitoku.
And, desiring to get at the reason for their attack on him, I took him down to their Sanhedrin:
29 Ngo chinkunamv hv sidubv okv patwk lo tumdubv oguka rimur namgo kaama, ninyia gungnying nyiru minam ngv bunu atugv Pvbv lvkwngbv tvvka sunam go.
Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.
30 Okv vdwlo nga ninyi hoka nyirunv apam go donyapv vla mimpa tokudw, ngo ninyia no gvlo vjakpigobv aagv jidu kubv mvngpv kunv. Ngo ninyia nyirunv vdwa minpvkunv bunugv ninyia gungnying minsv nga noogv kaagia lo minlakv vla.”
And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.
31 Sipai vdwv bunugv orto jilin kunama gvvlin toku. Bunu Paulnyi boola ikula okv ninyia ayuyupra nga Antipatris lobv vnggv toku.
So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.
32 Logo nvnga lvpabv vngnv sipai vdwv hv bunugv dookulo vngkurkunam okv gora sipai vdwa ninyia lvkobv vngmu toku.
But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:
33 Bunu ninyia kaisaria lo aagv tokula, gobunor hv siti nga jilwk toku, okv Paulnyi ninyi gvlo laklwk kunam.
And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.
34 Gobunor siti nga puri tula okv Paulnyi tvvkato no ogulo mooku gvngv. Ho vdwlo ninyia Silisia lokv vla ninyia tvpakunam gola,
And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,
35 ninyi minto, “Ngo nam tvvriare vdwlo noogv yalung doonv ngv vngchi bolo.” Vbvrikunamv ninyi orto jilin toku Paulnyi gobunor gv dooku naam gvlo tumlwk tvla sipai dakgv moto.
I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.
