¹And Paul, looking stedfastly on the council, said, Brethren, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.

¹Ai o Pavlo dikhlia pe lende, ai phendia, "Manushale! Murhe phral! Chachimasa ai ilesa kerdem o zakono le Devlesko zhi adies."

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

²O baro rashai kai busholas Ananias dia ordina kodolen kai sas pasha leste te den les iek pa mui.

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

³Antunchi o Pavlo phendia leske, "O Del marela tu, tu baro zido parniardo! Tu beshes tele katse te des ma pe kris pala zakono, numa tu chi keres sar si o zakono ke des ordina te maren ma?"

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

⁴Kodola kai sas pasha leste, mothonas, mardian mui katar o baro rashai le Devlesko!"

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

⁵Ai o Pavlo phendia, "Chi zhanavas, murhe phral ke wo si o baro rashai. Ke E Vorba le Devleski mothol, "Na de duma bi malades pa baro kai poronchil pe cho narodo."

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

⁶Numa kana o Pavlo zhanelas ke uni anda narodo kai sas kotse sas andal Saduseanuria, ai kolaver rik sas andal Farizeanuria, anda kodia o Pavlo tsipilas angla lende, "Manushale, Murhe phral, Farisi sim, shav le Farizeanosko; ai ke pachav ma ke le mule sai zhuvindin, anda kodia den me pe kris!"

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

⁷Kana ashunde so phendia o Pavlo, kerdilia iek bunto mashkar le Farizeanuria ai le Saduseanuria, ai ande kodo kher kai beshenas hulazhile.

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

⁸Ke le Saduseanuria mothonas ke le mule nashti mai zhuvindin, ai ke nai angeluria, ai chi duxuria, numa le Farizeanuria pachanaspe ande kodola dieli.

⁹And there arose a great clamor: and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: and what if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?

⁹Baro bunto kerdilia, ai uni anda kodola manush kai sicharenas o zakono, kai won sas pe rig le Farizeanonge wushtile opre, ai tsipinas zurales, phenenas, "Ame chi arakhas chi iek bi lashimos ande kado manush! Amborim ek duxo vai ek angelo dia lesa duma!"

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

¹⁰Kadia de zurales buntuisaile, ai o baro le ketanengo darailo ke mudaren le Pavlos, anda kodia dia ordina peske ketanen te zhan mashkar o narodo, ai te len le Pavlos mashkar lende, ai te anen les kotse kai sas le ketani.

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

¹¹Pe terharin e riat O Del sikadilo le Pavloske, ai phendia leske, "Na dara, ke sar dian duma pa mande ande Jerusalem, trobul te mothos pa mande vi ande Rome."

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

¹²Kana phuterdilo o dies, le Zhiduvuria denas pe duma, ai phende ke lenpe armaiansa, te na xan kanch ai te na pen zhi kai mudaren le Pavlos.

¹³And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.

¹³Kodola kai linepe te keren kodia diela sas mai but sar shtarvardesh zhene.

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

¹⁴Gele kal bare le rashange ai kal mai phure, ai phendia lenge, "Ame liam ame armaiansa pe amende, te na xas zhi kai mudaras le Paulos.

¹⁵Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.

¹⁵Akana tume ai le mai bare mangen ka baro le ketanengo te anel le Pavlos tumenge terhara, ai mothon ke mangen te dikhen mai mishto so kerdia, ai ame, mai anglal ke sar te pashol tumende, mudaras les."

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

¹⁶Kana o shav le Pavloski phei ashundia so mangenas te keren, gelo kal ketani, dia andre ando kher ai phendia le Pavloske.

¹⁷And Paul called unto him one of the centurions, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain; for he hath something to tell him.

¹⁷O Pavlo akhardia iekes andal ketani, ai phendia, "Anger kakale terne manushes ka baro le ketanengo; ke si les vari so te mothol leske."

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

¹⁸Le ketana lia kodole terne manushes pesa, ai angerdia les ka baro le ketanengo, ai phendia, "O Pavlo kai si phandado, akhardia ma, ai manglia mandar te anav tuke kadale terne manushes, ke si les vari so te mothol tuke."

¹⁹And the chief captain took him by the hand, and going aside asked him privately, What is it that thou hast to tell me?

¹⁹O baro lia le terne manushes vastestar, ai gelo lesa mai dur, ai phushlia lestar, "So si tu te mothos mange?"

²⁰And he said, The Jews have agreed to ask thee to bring down Paul tomorrow unto the council, as though thou wouldest inquire somewhat more exactly concerning him.

²⁰Ai wo phendia, "Le Zhiduvuria mangen tutar te anes le Pavlos anglal bare terhara, ai mothon ke le bare mangen te dikhen mai mishto so kerdia ai te phushen vari so lestar.

²¹Do not thou therefore yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have bound themselves under a curse, neither to eat nor to drink till they have slain him: and now are they ready, looking for the promise from thee.

²¹Numa tu na pachas so mothon, ke mai but sar shtarvardesh mashkar lende, keren narozhno te len les ai dinepe armaia pe pende te na xan kanch ai te na pen zhi kai mudaren les. Won azhukeren akana, ai azhukeren pala tute so keresa.

²²So the chief captain let the young man go, charging him, Tell no man that thou hast signified these things to me.

²²O baro le ketanengo phendia le terne manusheske te zhaltar. Numa mai anglal phendia leske te na mothol kanikaske o divano kai phendia leske.

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

²³Porme akhardia duien andal ketani, ai phendia lenge, "Chiden kal inia e riate dui shela ketani, shovardesh ketani pel gras, ai dui shela ketani kai meken le fleshensa te zhan zhi ando Caesarea.

²⁴and [he bade them] provide beasts, that they might set Paul thereon, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.

²⁴Ai lasharen grasten te ingeren le Pavlos, ai arakhen les pa drom te aresel ka governori, o Felix.

²⁵And he wrote a letter after this form:

²⁵Ai ramosardia iek lil leste. Ai mothol "Me o Claudius Lysias, tradav tuke lasho dies, tu o lasho governori o Felix.

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

²⁷Le Zhiduvuria line kadale manushes, ai mangenas te mudaren les, numa me avilem ketanensa, ai lem les ke ashundem ke wo Romano sas.

²⁷This man was seized by the Jews, and was about to be slain of them, when I came upon them with the soldiers and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

²⁸Ai mangavas te zhanav sostar thon dosh pe leste, angerdem les angla lengo baro.

²⁸And desiring to know the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him down unto their council:

²⁹Ai dikhlem ke thonas dosh pe leste pa uni vorbi kai motholas pa lengo zakono, numa chi mudardia kanikas te mudaren les vai te phandaven les.

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

³⁰Phende mange ke le Zhiduvuria rodenas te len les, ai strazo me tradem les tuke, ai phenava kodolenge kai thon dosh pe leste te aven tute. Ash Devlesa."

³⁰And when it was shown to me that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to thee forthwith, charging his accusers also to speak against him before thee.

³¹Le ketani, palai ordina kai sas dini lende, line le Pavlos, ai angerde les e riate zhi ande Antipatris.

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

³²Pe terharin mekle le ketanen kai sas pel gras te ingeren les, ai won geletar palpale khere.

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

³³Kana aresle ando Caesarea, le ketani pel gras dine o lil ka governori kotse, ai dine les le Pavlos.

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

³⁴Ai kana o governori kotsar jindia o lil, phushlia anda savi rik o Pavlo sas. Ai phende leske, ke sas andai Cilicia.

³⁴And when he had read it, he asked of what province he was; and when he understood that he was of Cilicia,

³⁵"Ashunava tute," phendia leske, "Kana kodola kai thon dosh pe tute avena. Ai dia ordina te garaven les kotse kai o amperato Herod kerelas peske krisa.

³⁵I will hear thee fully, said he, when thine accusers also are come: and he commanded him to be kept in Herod's palace.
