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

¹And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men, brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this day;`

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

²and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to smite him on the mouth,

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?"

³then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou whitewashed wall, and thou — thou dost sit judging me according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be smitten!`

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

⁴And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost thou revile?`

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."

⁵and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people thou shalt not speak evil;`

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!"

⁶and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee — son of a Pharisee — concerning hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.`

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

⁷And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided,

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

⁸for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.

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!"

⁹And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the Pharisees` part having arisen, were striving, saying, `No evil do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a messenger, we may not fight against God;`

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.

¹⁰and a great dissension having come, the chief captain having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring [him] to the castle.

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."

¹¹And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him, said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at Rome to testify.`

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.

¹²And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;

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

¹³and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by oath,

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.

¹⁴who having come near to the chief priests and to the elders said, `With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves — to taste nothing till we have killed Paul;

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."

¹⁵now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you, as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him; and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to death.`

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

¹⁶And the son of Paul`s sister having heard of the lying in wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul,

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

¹⁷and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said, `This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath something to tell him.`

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."

¹⁸He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the chief captain, and saith, `The prisoner Paul, having called me near, asked [me] this young man to bring unto thee, having something to say to thee.`

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

¹⁹And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, `What is that which thou hast to tell me?`

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.

²⁰and he said — `The Jews agreed to request thee, that to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him;

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.

²¹thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did anathematize themselves — not to eat nor to drink till they kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from thee.`

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

²²The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go, having charged [him] to tell no one, `that these things thou didst shew unto me;`

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.

²³and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he said, `Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred, from the third hour of the night;

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

²⁴beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may bring him safe unto Felix the governor;`

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

²⁵he having written a letter after this description:

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

²⁶`Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail:

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

²⁷This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to be killed by them — having come with the soldiery, I rescued him, having learned that he is a Roman;

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.

²⁸and, intending to know the cause for which they were accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim,

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."

²⁹whom I found accused concerning questions of their law, and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds;

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

³⁰and a plot having been intimated to me against this man — about to be of the Jews — at once I sent unto thee, having given command also to the accusers to say the things against him before thee; be strong.`

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

³¹Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to Antipatris,

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

³²and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the castle;

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

³³those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him.

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.

³⁴And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia;

³⁵`I will hear thee — said he — when thine accusers also may have come;` he also commanded him to be kept in the praetorium of Herod.
