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 came down the high priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator called Tertullus, and laid their informations against Paul before the governor.

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 he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse, saying, Seeing we enjoy great peace through thee, and that excellent measures are executed for this nation by thy forethought,

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

³we receive [it] always and everywhere, 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 may not too much intrude on thy time, I beseech thee to hear us briefly in thy kindness.

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 finding this man a pest, and moving sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazaraeans;

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 also attempted to profane the temple; whom we also had seized, [and would have judged according to our law;

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

⁷but Lysias, the chiliarch, coming up, took [him] away with great force 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."

⁸having commanded his accusers to come to thee;] of whom thou canst thyself, in examining [him], know the certainty of all these things of which 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 pressing the matter against [Paul], saying 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.

¹⁰But Paul, the governor having beckoned to him to speak, answered, Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge to this nation, I answer readily as to the things which concern myself.

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

¹¹As thou mayest know that there are 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 discoursing to any one, or making any tumultuous gathering together of the 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 make good the things of which 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 avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and 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 towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of 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'.

¹⁶For this cause I also exercise [myself] to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men.

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.

¹⁷And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing 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.

¹⁸Whereupon they found me purified in the temple, with neither crowd nor tumult. But it was 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 appear before thee and accuse, if they have anything 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 let these themselves say what wrong they found in me 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.'"

²¹[other] than concerning this one voice which I cried standing amongst them: I am judged this day by you touching [the] resurrection of [the] dead.

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."

²²And Felix, knowing accurately the things concerning the way, adjourned them, saying, When Lysias the chiliarch is come down I will determine your affair;

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.

²³ordering the centurion to keep him, and that he should have freedom, and to hinder none of his friends to minister to 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.

²⁴And after certain days, Felix having arrived with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, he sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

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 concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment about to come, Felix, being filled with fear, answered, Go for the present, and when I get an opportunity I will send for thee;

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

²⁶hoping at the same time that money would be given him by 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 completed, Felix was relieved by Porcius Festus as his successor; and Felix, desirous to oblige the Jews, to acquire their favour, left Paul bound.
