¹And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

¹Huan, ni nga nungin Siampu Lianpen Anania a hongtung suka, upa kuate hiam toh, a min Tertulla thugensiam khat toh; huan, Paula tunga thubuai tuh Gamukpa kiangah a gen ua.

²And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

²Huan, Paula a sapkhiak nung un Tertulla in amah a hek pana: Felik hoihpen, nangmah vanga khamuang petpeta ka om jiak un leh, non kepna jiaka hiai chite adinga giloute kham hoiha om jel jiakin,

³We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

³chiklaipeuhin koipeuh ah leng lungkim takin ka kipak gige uhi.

⁴Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

⁴Abang abang hitaleh, nang adia chimtakhuai lua hih ka ut kei hi, na migitnain thu kam khat ahihleh honngaihkhiaksak dingin ka honngen ahi.

⁵For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

⁵Hiai mi huathuaipi, khovel Judate tengteng tokbuaipa leh, Nazarit mite pawla a makaipen khat uh ahih ka thei uh.

⁶Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

⁶Pathian biakin hihbuah leng a tuma; huaijiakin ka man ua,

⁷But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

⁷ka dan bang ua a tunga vaihawm tum hi unga, himahleh sepaih heutu lalpen Lisia hongkuana, ngongtat kawmin amah tuh ka khut ua kipan a lamanga, a tunga thubuai neite na kianga hongpai dingin thu a pia hi.

⁸Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

⁸Nangmah ngeiin amah dongtelin ka hekna tengteng uh na theithei ding hi, a chi a.

⁹And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

⁹Huan, Judaten leng, Huai thu huchibang ahi, chiin, a panpih uhi.

¹⁰Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

¹⁰Huan, Gamukpan thug en dinga Paula khuta a jap takin, aman, nang kum tampi hiai chite vaihawmsakpa na hih ka theih jiak kipak takin ka siamna thu ka gen ding ahi.

¹¹Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

¹¹Jerusalem khua a Pathian be dinga ka hoh touh nung ni sawmlenih lou val ahi nai kei ding chih na na thei ding;

¹²And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

¹²Pathian biakin ah leng, kikhopna in ah leng, khua ah leng kuamah ka sel leh mipi ka hasot amau zong a honmu kei uh;

¹³Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

¹³Tunah leng a honhekna thu uh na theihin a bul a suikhe theikei ding uh.

¹⁴But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

¹⁴Himahleh, hiai thu tuh na kiangah ka genkhe ding, Lam dan, pawl tuam a chih uh bangin ka pipute uh Pathian ka be jel -Dan leh Jawlnei te Laibu gelh tengteng gingtain;

¹⁵And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

¹⁵huan, mi diktatte leh diktatloute thohnawnna a om ding chih Pathian lamah ka lamena, hiai khawngten leng huai tuh a gingta sam ngal ua;

¹⁶And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.

¹⁶Tua jiakin Pathian lamah leh mihing lamah leng lungsim gilou lou mahmah neih nilouhlouh ka tum nak hi.

¹⁷Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.

¹⁷Huan, kum tampi nungin ka chipihte kiangah thilpiak ding leh sagoh ding hontawiin ka honga;

¹⁸Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

¹⁸huan, huai thil ka piak lain, mipi bang louin buai louin, Pathian biakin ah kisiangsakin a honmu uhi.

¹⁹Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.

¹⁹Himahleh, huaiah Asia gama mi Juda kuate hiam a om ua, huaiten ka tungah thu a neih uleh, hiai na maah omin a honhek ding uh ahi.

²⁰Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,

²⁰Ahihkeileh, hiai mite ngeiin vaihawmte maa ka din lain, ka hihkhelh bang ahia a muh uh, gen uheh.

²¹Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

²¹Hiai thu kam khat jiak houh ahih kei ngalleh, a lak ua dingin, Misi thohnawnna thu ah tuniin na ma uah salhin ka om ahi, ka chih, a chi a, a dawnga.

²²And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

²²Huan, Felikin Lam thu a theihtel deuh jiakin, Sepaih heutu lalpen Lisia a hongtun suk hun chiah na thu uh ka lem ding, chiin, a koih tadih a.

²³And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.

²³Huan, Paula deihbawl deuha, a lawmten a nektak a bawlsak uh kham loua, vensak dingin sepaih za heutu kiangah thu a pia hi.

²⁴And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

²⁴Huan, ni bangzah hiam nungin Felik a hong nawna, a ji Drusilla Juda numei toh, Paula a samsaka, Kris Jesu ginna thu a ngaikhia a.

²⁵And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

²⁵Huan, Paulain diktatna thute, kidek thute, thukhen-vaihawmna hongtung dingte a suipih detdet lain, Felikin lauhuai a sa mahmaha, pai nawn phot tadih inla, hun lem ka neih hun chiangin ka honsam ding, a chi a.

²⁶He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

²⁶Paulain dangka a piak peuh a lamen a, huaijiakin a sam mun sima, a houpih zihzeh ahi.Himahleh, kum nih a bei nungin Porsia Festain Felik a honkhengta a; huan, Felikin, Judate lakah min hoih a deiha, Paula hensain a nuseta hi.

²⁷But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.

²⁷Himahleh, kum nih a bei nungin Porsia Festain Felik a honkhengta a; huan, Felikin, Judate lakah min hoih a deiha, Paula hensain a nuseta hi.
