¹And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.

¹Huan, Paulain vaihawmte a en gige a, Unaute aw, tuni tanin Pathian mitmuha hoih lama ka theih peuhmah hihin ka om jeljel hi, a chi a.

²And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.

²Huan, Siampu lianpen Ananiain, Paula kianga dingte kiangah, a kama betsak ding a chi a.

³Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?

³Huan, Paulain, a kiangah, nang suang dai nuhngoupa, Pathianin a honbeng zo ding hi, nang, Dan banga mi ngaihtuah dingin na tu a, Dan lou banga mi bet ding na chi vial maw? a chi a.

⁴And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?

⁴Huan, a kianga miten, Pathian Siampu Liangpen na tai viala? a chi ua.

⁵Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.

⁵Huan, Paulain, Unaute aw, Siampu Liangpen ahi chih ka theikeia ahi; na chihpihte heutu tungah thu hoihlou gen ken, chih, gelh ahi ngala, a chi a.

⁶But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

⁶Huan, Paulain a khen Saddukaite, a khen Pharisiate ahi uh chih a theihin, vaihawmte lakah a kikou a, Unaute aw, Pharisai ka hi, Pharisai tapa leng ka hi; misi lametna leh thohnawnna thu ah phula om ka hi, a chi a.

⁷And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.

⁷Huan, huai a gent akin, Pharisiate leh Saddukaite a nakisel ua, vaihawmte a kilangte uhi.

⁸For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.

⁸Saddukaiten, misi thohnawnna himhim a om kei, angelte, khate leng a om tuan kei, a chi uh; Pharisaiten bel huai tegel tuh a om chih a gen ngal ua.

⁹And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.

⁹Huaiin nakpitakin a buaita ua; Pharisaite lama mi laigelhmite khenkhat a ding ua; a sel ua. Hiai mi bangmah a gitlouhna i theikei; khain leng, angelin leng amah bia hile zong, bang a poi dia, a chi ua.

¹⁰And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.

¹⁰Huan, kituahlouhna lianpi a hongom takin, sepaih heutu lalpenin Paula a bohjan uh a laua, sepaihte kiangah, a vahoh suka, a lak ua kipan kulha vapi tou teitei dingin a chi a.

¹¹And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.

¹¹Huan, a janin Toupa Paula kiangah a dinga, khamuangtakin om in, Jerusalem khua a ka thu na theihsak bangin Rome khua ah leng na theisak ding ah, a chi a.

¹²And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

¹²Huan, ni a suahin Judate a panghuan ua, Paula a thah masiah uh bangmah nea dawn lou dingin a kichiamta uhi.

¹³And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.

¹³Huai thubawlte sawmli sanga tamjaw ahi uhi.

¹⁴And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.

¹⁴Huan, amau tuh siampu liante leh upate kiangah a hoh ua, Paula ka thah masiah uh bangmah chiam lou dingin ka kichiam ek uhi.

¹⁵Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

¹⁵Huaijiakin, nou vaihawmte toh a thu kichian nawn sema ngaihtuah tum bangin, na kiang ua pikhe dingin sepaih heutu lalpen kiangah a hem deuhin vagen tou un; na kiang nai uh a tun main leng, kou amah that dingin ka mankhin uhi, a chi ua.

¹⁶And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.

¹⁶Himahleh, Paula sanggam nu tapain a sawmna thu a naja a, kulh ah a valuta, Paula a vahilhta hi.

¹⁷Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.

¹⁷Huan, Paulain sepaih zaheutu khat a sama, hiai tangval sepaih heutu lalpen kiangah pi in, a kiangah thu banghiam gen ding a nei a hihtuak, a chi a.

¹⁸So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.

¹⁸Huchiin, sepaih heutu lalpen kiangah a pi a, Paula, hentapan, honsam a, hiai tangval na kianga honpi dingin a honsawla, na kiangah thu banghiam gen ding a nei a hihtuak, a chi a.

¹⁹Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?

¹⁹Huan, sepaih heutu lalpenin a khutin a lena, a simin a tuam paipih a, bang ahia honhilh ding naneih? chiin a donga.

²⁰And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.

²⁰Huan, aman, Paula thu kichian nawn sema na ngaihtuah ding mahbangin, jingchiah vaihawmte kiangah pi suk dingin Judaten honnget hoih a sa chiat uh.

²¹But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.

²¹Himahleh, a thu uh na gingta ken; a lak ua mi sawmli sanga tamjaw in a sawm ua, huai miten amah a thah masiah uh bangmah nea dawn lou dingin a kichiam uh; tuin na thu ngakin mansain a om uhi, a chi a.

²²So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.

²²Huan, sepaih lalpenin tangval a paisaka, hiai thute non theisak chih kuamah hilh ken, a chi bikbek hi.

²³And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

²³Huan sepaih zaheutu nih a sama, Jan ihsip hunin Kaisaria kho pha a pai dingin sepaih za nih toh, sakol tungtuangmi sawmsagih toh, teitawimi za nih toh bawl un, a chi a.

²⁴And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

²⁴Huan, Gamukpa Felik kiangah bita a tunsak theihna dingin Paula a tuansakna ding un gan bang na bawl dingin leng a chi a;

²⁵And he wrote a letter after this manner:

²⁵Huan, hichibangin lai a gelhta hi.

²⁶Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.

²⁶Klaudia Lisiain Felik Gamukpa hoihpa chibai a buk hi.

²⁷This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

²⁷Hiai mi Judaten a mu ua, a thah dek lai un a kiang uah sepaihte piin ka hoh a, Rome mi ahi chih ka theihin ka honkheta hi.

²⁸And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:

²⁸Huan, a hekna pen uh theih ka ut a, a vaihawmte uh kiangah ka pi suka,

²⁹Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.

²⁹huchiin, a dan thu uh banghiama hek ahi chih ka theia, himahleh a hekna thu uah sihna leh henna ding jen bangmah ka thei ngal keia.

³⁰And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.

³⁰Huan, Judaten amah a tang uh chih min a hontheihsak tak un, na kiangah amah ka honsawl pah ngal ahi, a hekte leng a tung a thubuai a neih peuh uh na ma a gen dingin, thu leng ka pia hi, chiin.

³¹Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.

³¹Huchiin, sepaihten a thupiak bangin Paula a-jan a-janin a pi ua, Antipatri a tunpih ua.

³²On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

³²Huan, a jingin sakol tungtuangmite a kianga pai jel dingin a kiksan ua, kulh ah a hoh nawnta uh;

³³Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

³³Huan, amau, Kaisaria khua a tung ua, Gamukpa kiangah lai tuh a pia ua, Paula leng a maah a ding sak uhi.

³⁴And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;

³⁴Huan, Gamukpan, a sim khitin, Paula omna gam a donga. Huan, Silisia gama ahi chih a theihtakin,nang honhekte a hongtun chiang un na thubuai ka ngaihtuah ding, a chi a. Huan, Herod ina vending thu a pia hi.

³⁵I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.

³⁵nang honhekte a hongtun chiang un na thubuai ka ngaihtuah ding, a chi a. Huan, Herod ina vending thu a pia hi.
