¹And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with certain elders, and [with] an orator, one Tertullus; and they 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, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy much peace, and that by the providence evils are corrected for this nation,

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 in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

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

⁴But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to 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 insurrections 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 moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: [and we would have judged him according to our law.]

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

⁷[But the chief captain Lysias came, 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.

⁸[commanding his accusers to come before thee.] from whom thou wilt be able, by examining him thyself, to 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 joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.

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

¹⁰And when the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, Paul answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I cheerfully make my defense:

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.

¹¹Seeing that thou canst take knowledge that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem:

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

¹²and neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man or stirring up a crowd, nor 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 to thee 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 a sect, so serve I the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written 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;

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection 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;

¹⁶Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

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

¹⁷Now after some 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;

¹⁸amidst which they found me purified in the temple, with no crowd, nor yet with tumult: but [there were] certain Jews from Asia--

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 to make accusation, if they had aught 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 men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when 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 before 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.

²²But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will determine 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 gave order to the centurion that he should be kept in charge, and should have indulgence; and not to forbid any of his friends to minister 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.

²⁴But after certain days, Felix came with Drusilla, his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

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, and self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, Go thy way for this time; and when I have a convenient season, I will call thee unto me.

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 withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also 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 when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus; and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

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.
