¹And Paul, fixing his eyes on the council, said, Brethren, I have walked in all good conscience with God unto this day.

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

²But the high priest Ananias ordered those standing by him to smite his mouth.

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

³Then Paul said to him, God will smite thee, whited wall. And *thou*, dost thou sit judging me according to the law, and breaking the law commandest me to be smitten?

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 those that stood by said, Dost thou rail against the high priest of God?

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

⁵And Paul said, I was not conscious, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evilly of the 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 Paul, knowing that the one part [of them] were of the Sadducees and the other of the Pharisees, cried out in the council, Brethren, *I* am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees: *I* am judged concerning the hope and resurrection of [the] dead.

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 spoken this, there was a tumult of the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the multitude 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 Sadducees say there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but Pharisees confess both of them.

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 was a great clamour, and the scribes of the Pharisees' part rising up contended, saying, We find nothing evil in this man; and if a spirit has 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 a great tumult having arisen, the chiliarch, fearing lest Paul should have been torn in pieces by them, commanded the troop to come down and take him by force from the midst of them, and to bring [him] into the fortress.

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.

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

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, having banded together, put themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they should kill 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 who had joined together in this oath;

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

¹⁴and they went to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have cursed ourselves with a curse to taste nothing until we kill 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 make a representation to the chiliarch so that he may bring him down to you, as about to determine more precisely what concerns him, and we, before he draws near, are ready to kill 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, having heard of the lying in wait, came and entered into the fortress and reported [it] to 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, having called one of the centurions, said, Take this youth to the chiliarch, for he has something to report to 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."

¹⁸He therefore, having taken him with [him], led him to the chiliarch, and says, The prisoner Paul called me to [him] and asked me to lead this youth to thee, who has 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 chiliarch having taken him by the hand, and having gone apart in private, inquired, What is it that thou hast to report to 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 together to make a request to thee, that thou mayest bring Paul down to-morrow into the council, as about to inquire something more precise 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 then be persuaded by them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who have put themselves under a curse neither to eat nor drink till they kill him; and now they are ready waiting 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.

²²The chiliarch then dismissed the youth, commanding [him], Utter to no one that thou hast represented 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 having called to [him] certain two of the centurions, he said, Prepare two hundred soldiers that they may go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred light-armed footmen, for 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 ordered them] to provide beasts, that they might set Paul on them and carry [him] safe through to Felix the governor,

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

²⁵having written a letter, couched in 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 to 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, having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them, I came up with the military and took out [of their hands], 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 charge on which they accused him, I brought him down to 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 of questions of their law, but to have no charge laid against him [making him] 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."

³⁰But having received information of a plot about to be put in execution against the man [by the Jews], I have immediately sent him to thee, commanding also his accusers to say before thee the things that are against him. [Farewell.]

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

³¹The soldiers therefore, according to what was ordered 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.

³²and on the morrow, having left the horsemen to go with him, returned to the fortress.

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

³³And these, having entered into Caesarea, and given up the letter to the governor, presented Paul also to him.

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

³⁴And having read [it], and asked of what eparchy he was, and learned 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.

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