1 Alu longu kochingbv Nyibu Butv Ananias nyigagatv vdwlo meegonyi okv Pvbv chinv ako Tertullus minam lvkobv Kaisaria bv vngla. Bunu Peliksnyi kaarwk chotola okv bunu Paulnyi gungnying milwk toku.
After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
2 Vbvrikunamv, Paulnyi goklwk toku, okv Tertullus hvbv gungnying lwkrap toku: “Mvngdvnam nyigam! Noogv chinampanam lokv ngonua rigvla rinamv awgo sarsopoyo toku, okv ngonugv diringmooku gv dinchinam risvvngsv nga alvrungbv ridinvngdin gvpvku.
When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, "Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that by your foresight reforms are coming to this nation,
3 Ngonu so ogumvnwng nga okv ho dw mvnwnglo alvbv tulwk minggv dvnv, okv ngonu mvnwng ngv nam alvrungbv mvngyum doonv.
we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4 Ngo noogv dw nga kaibv ngemu jinwngma, ogubvrijvka, ngo nam kumdunv aya gvrila ngonugv minam achuk am tvvria jilabv.
But, that I do not delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
5 Ngonu so nyi sum maatarbv alvmanv gobv kaadu; hv mooku mvngnwnglo Jius vdwa yalungyachung duki nvgo okv Najareth gv nyipam vdwa rigvnvgo.
For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6 Hv Pwknvyarnvnaam ngaka yarboryache dubv gwngkw nvgo, okv ngonu ninyia nyum naatoku, ngonu ninyia ngonugv Pvbv lokv jwngkadaka dubv mvngto,
He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him. And we would have judged him according to our law,
7 vbvritola kamandar Laisias aala, okv lvkobv ninyia twkbwng tola ngonugv lokv dvrit linto.
but the chief captain Lysias came, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
8 Vbvrikunamv Laisias orto go jilin toku ninyia gungnying lwknv vdwv noogv kaagialo dakdubv. So nyi sum no tvvkabolo, hv gvlo ogumvnwng nga no atubongv chinsure ho ngonu mvnwng ninyia yalungyachung bv rila gungnying lwknama.”
commanding his accusers to come to you. By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him."
9 Jius vdwv gungnying lwknama tulwk minggvto okv minto so mvnwng si jvjv ngv.
The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
10 Vbvrikunamv, gobunor Paulnyi mincho moto, okv Paul minto, “So diringmooku mvnwng nga no kaadar yala anying mvngchigo rigvnvnga ngo chindo, okv vkvlvgabv ngo himpudo atubonga no kaagialo mindar chodubv.
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 defense,
11 No atubongv ka chinsu toka, so si alu loring gola lonyi gubvka ritvmadv ho ngo Jerusalem bv kumbv vngto.
seeing that you can recognize that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
12 Jius vdwv chimpama nga Pwknvyarnvnaam lo yvvnyika larmisidubv, ho majvka bunu nga Jius kumkunaamlo vmalo pamtv kvvbi loka nyi vdwa charkar dubv kaanv kaama.
In the temple they did not find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues, or in the city.
13 Hv maloka bunugv vjak nga gungnying lwkla bvnglwk nama nam jvjv gorung vla kaalin modubv rinyumare.
Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
14 Ngooka vjak sum no gvlo tulwk jidunv: Ngooka riming gvvdunv abuapa vdwgv Pwknvyarnv kumnamjonam Lamtv lo bunugv mvvdunv vnam sum. Vbvritola ngooka Moses gv Pvbv okv nyijwk vdwgv kitap vdwlo lvknam mvnwng nga mvngjwng dunv.
But this I confess to you, that after the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the Law, and which are written in the Prophets;
15 Bunugv akinbv ngooka vbv mvngtin minggv dunv Pwknvyarnv gvlo nyi mvnwng ngv alv nvngvla alvmanv ngv sinam lokv turkur riku vla.
having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
16 Okv vkvlvgabv ngo vdwgo rinyupvdw Pwknvyarnv gvla nyi gv kaagialo lokia alvbv ridu mindubv vla mvngdunv.
This being so, I also do my best to always have a clear conscience toward God and people.
17 “Jerusalem am anying awgo riro kochingbv ngo hoka ngo atubogv nyi vdwgv lvgabv morko naadubv okv erinpeelwk jidubv vngto.
Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18 Ngoogv vbvrila doori hoka bunu nga kaapato Pwknvyarnvnaam lo ngoogv kumkakjokak ridung nga riro kochingbv. Hoka nga nyitwng lvkobv ribamnam kaama okv ayak achaknam kaama.
amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
19 Vbvritola Asia mooku lokv Jius meego hoka dooto; bunu atuv nga rikin nvnv ogugo dubolo no kaagialo aala gungnying lwkdubv.
They ought to have been here before you, and to make accusation, if they had anything against me.
20 Vmalo so nyi vdwa milin moto vdwlo ngo kvba lo dakri hoka ogu rimur go bunu nga kaapa pv—
Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
21 gamkin gumwng ngoogv gokla minamv vdwlo bunugv kaagialo dakri hoka: ‘Silu gv noogv jwngkadaka gvdunam si sinv ngv turkur riku vla mvngjwng nama.’”
unless it is for this one thing that I shouted out standing among them, 'Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today.'"
22 Vbvrikunamv Peliks ho lamtv nga alv rungbv chinto kula tvvka kapak svnga mintor toku. “Orto jinv Laisias vdwlo aachi tokudw,” hv bunua minto, “Ngo nonugv kvba nga japjub jiriku.”
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 Hv Paulnyi kaarianv nyigam am orto jitoku ninyia arwng lo vpv dubv, vbvritola aar dubv vpvlaka okv ninyigv ajin vdwaka ninyigv mvngnam am naaji molaka vto.
He ordered the centurion that he 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 Alu meegonv kochingso Peliks ninyigv nywng Jius nyimv, Drusilanyi lvkobv aato. Hv Paulnyi harmu la okv Jisunyi ninyigv mvngjwng namgv lvkwng bv raadung nama tvvriato.
But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was Jewish, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
25 Vbvritola Paul japdungto alvnam gv lvkwngbv, atuv himv sunam gv lvkwng bv, aarinv tlo jwngkadaka namgv lvkwnglo, Peliks um tvvto kula busu toku okv minto, “No vjak vngla riku okv vdwlo ngo dw paarikudw ngo nam gokkur riku.”
As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment 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 Ho dw akin hoka hv mvngtin tindungto Paulnyi morko lo meego jiri nvpv vla; ho lvkwngbv hv Paulnyi vngdv mola okv lvkobv japdv japdvto.
Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul. Therefore also he sent for him more often, and talked with him.
27 Anying nyingnyi vngro kochingso Peliks gv gobunor ritungnga Porsius Pestas ritoku. Peliks Jius vdwa alvbv mvngkiam dubv vla mvngnvgo vkvlvgabv hv Paulnyi patwk lo doomu tvla vngyu toku.
But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
