¹Lima mengi oti toe, Imam Bohe Ananias pai' ba hangkuja dua pangkeni to Yahudi hilou hi Kaisarea hante hadua to pante mololita, hanga' -na Tertulus. Karata-ra hi ria, hilou-ramo hi Gubernur Feliks mpobua' pangadua' -ra.

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.

²Jadi', Gubernur Feliks mpohubui tauna mpokeni Paulus tumai hi poromua-ra. Tertulus ulu to rapalogai mololita. Natepu'u-mi mpakilu Paulus hewa toi: "Tuama-kai Gubernur Feliks to kibila'! Ngkai poparenta-nu, kai' ntodea-nu tuwu' hante kalompea'. Pai' ngkai kapantea-nu mohawa', wori' -mi to tekolompehii hi rala ngata-kai.

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,

³Hawe'ea toe kitu'u oa' hi lolo tanuana' -kai, pai' uma ria kaputua-nakai mpo'uli' wori' wori' tarima kasi.

³we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.

⁴Aga, bona neo' mpokerei mara tempo Gubernur, kusarumaka ahi' ngkai Gubernur mpe'epei-ka-kuwo lolita-ku to rede' toi.

⁴But, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I entreat thee to hear us of thy clemency a few words.

⁵"Ta'uli' -mi-hawo, Paulus toei-e mai, tauna to mpobalinai' ngata. Hiapa-apa-i mpo'usoki to Yahudi mpo'ewa topoparenta. Pai' hi'a toe-mi pangkeni-ra to mpotuku' tudui' -na Yesus to Nazaret.

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:

⁶Meliu ngkai toe, doko' -i mpobaboi' Tomi Alata'ala. Toe pai' kihoko' -imi. ((Ria patuju-kai wengi mpohurai kara-kara-na ntuku' atura agama-kai moto-kaiwo.

⁶who moreover assayed to profane the temple: on whom also we laid hold: [and we would have judged him according to our law.]

⁷Tapi' kapala' tantara Lisias mpe'agoi-i ngkai pale-kai.

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

⁸Pai' na'uli' hema to doko' mpakilu-i kana tumai hi Tuama Gubernur.)) Jadi', ane nuparesa' -i mpai', nu'epe moto ngkai wiwi-na kamakono-na hawe'ea pangadua' -kai toi."

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.

⁹Hawe'ea to Yahudi to ria hi retu, medulu wo'o-ramo-rawo mepakilu pai' mporohoi lolita Tertulus toe.

⁹And the Jews also joined in the charge, affirming that these things were so.

¹⁰Oti toe, Gubernur mpohuka' -ki Paulus bona mololita-i. Pololita-nami Paulus, na'uli': "Goe' mpu'u-a, apa' rawai' -a loga mpo'uli' noa' -ku hi Tuama Gubernur. Apa' ku'inca mompae-mpae-mi Gubernur jadi' topobotuhi hi rala ngata-kai.

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:

¹¹Ma'ala moto nupewulihi', lako' hampulu' romengi to liu, hilou-a hi Yerusalem bona mepue' hi rala Tomi Alata'ala.

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

¹²Uma-a hangkania raruai' momehono' hante hema-hema ba mpo'usoki ntodea hi Tomi Alata'ala ba hi tomi posampayaa, ba hiapa-apa hi rala ngata.

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.

¹³Hiaa' uma wo'o-di ma'ala rapopohiloi-ko kamakono-na pangadua' -ra toe we'i to rapangadu' -ka.

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

¹⁴Sampale-di to kupangaku' hi Gubernur, aku' mpotuku' Tudui' Pue' Yesus, to rasapuaka bali' -ku toera. Ntuku' tudui' toe-mi mepue' -a hi Alata'ala to rapue' ntu'a-kai owi, pai' bate kuparasaya hawe'ea to te'uki' hi rala Atura Musa pai' sura nabi-nabi.

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;

¹⁵Poncarumakaa-ku hi Alata'ala, bate hibalia hante poncarumakaa bali' -ku toera mai. Kusarumaka Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' hawe'ea tomate hi eo mpeno, lompe' to monoa' ingku-ra lompe' to mogau' dada'a.

¹⁵having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection both of the just and unjust.

¹⁶Toe pai' kuhuduwukui oa' mpobabehi po'ingku to lompe', bona ku'inca hi rala nono-ku ka'uma-na ria sala' -ku, ba hi poncilo Alata'ala ba hi poncilo manusia'.

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

¹⁷"Ba hangkuja mpae-mi, uma-a ria hilou hi Yerusalem. Tapi' bo'u toi, hilou-a hi Yerusalem, mpokeni doi petulungi hi ompi' -ku to Yahudi pai' mpokeni pepue' -ku hi Alata'ala.

¹⁷Now after some years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings:

¹⁸Bula-ku mpokeni pepue' -ku toe, ba hangkuja dua to Yahudi to ngkai propinsi Asia mpohirua' -ka hi Tomi Alata'ala, ka'oti-ku mpobabehi ada pompobohoi' agama. Nto'u toe, uma-hawo ria wori' tauna dohe-ku, pai' uma wo'o ria to mewongoi.

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

¹⁹Kakoo-kono-na, ke to Yahudi to ngkai Asia toera-dile to kana tumai mpakilu-a hi Gubernur, ane ria mpu'u sala' -ku hi hira' -e.

¹⁹who ought to have been here before thee, and to make accusation, if they had aught against me.

²⁰Tapi' uma-ra-rawo ria hi rehe'i. Jadi', agina bali' -ku to ria-mi hi rehe'i mpo'uli' napa sala' -ku to rarua' hi karaparesaa' -ku wengi topohura agama hi Yerusalem. Raparesa' -a toe, uma ria sala' -ku raruai'.

²⁰Or else let these men themselves say what wrong-doing they found when I stood before the council,

²¹Muntu' lolita-ku to hamela-wadi to rapodaa' nto'u toe. Bula-ku mokore hi laintongo' -ra, ku'uli' mpesukui hewa toi: `Pai' -a raparesa' toi, sabana kuparasaya katuwu' -ra nculii' tauna tomate.'"

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.

²²Gubernur Feliks mpo'inca lia napa to raparasaya tauna to mepangala' hi Yesus. Toe pai' na'uli': "Hudu rei-mi ulu pohura-ta. Kubotuhi moto mpai' kara-kara toi, ane rata-ipi kapala' tantara Lisias."

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.

²³Oti toe, nahawai' tadulako-na mpojaga Paulus. Tapi' nau' rajaga-i, uma-i hewa tauna to ratarungku' mpu'u. Apa' rapalogai moto-i modao', pai' rapiliu moto bale-na mpowai' -i napa to naparaluu.

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.

²⁴Ba hangkuja eo ngkai ree, rata wo'o-imi Gubernur Feliks hante tobine-na, hanga' -na Drusila. Drusila toei to Yahudi. Feliks mpohubui tantara-na mpokeni Paulus tumai hi nyanyoa-ra, bona na'epe lolita-na Paulus mpokahangai' pepangala' -na hi Kristus Yesus.

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.

²⁵Hi rala pololita-na Paulus, na'uli' -ki Feliks hewa toi: kita' kana monoa' po'ingku-ta, pai' kana mpokuasai konoa nono-ta moto, apa' rata mpai' Eo Kiama, nto'u Alata'ala mpobotuhi kara-kara hawe'ea manusia'. Mpo'epe toe, kame'eka' -nami Feliks, na'uli': "Wae-mi ulu! Kukio' wo'o-damo-ko mpai', ane ria loga-ku."

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.

²⁶Kakoo-kono-na, Feliks mposarumaka Paulus mpowai' -i doi bona nabahaka-i. Toe pai' jau-i nakio' bona napololitai-i.

²⁶He hoped withal that money would be given him of Paul: wherefore also he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

²⁷Feliks doko' ngala' nono-ra to Yahudi, toe pai' napelele' moto-i Paulus ratarungku' rompae kahae-na. Timpaliu rompae toe, Feliks rasampei, pai' Perkius Festus jadi' gubernur to bo'u.

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.
