¹Karata-na Paulus hi porumpua toe, nanaa hawe'ea topohura toera, na'uli' -raka: "Ompi' -ompi' -ku! Moroli' mpontolumanu' nono-ku! Duu' hi eo tohe'i, kupenonoi uma ria sala' -ku hi poncilo Alata'ala."

¹Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until this day.”

²Nto'u-na Paulus mololita hewa toe, Imam Bohe Ananias mpohubui tauna to hi ncori Paulus mpohopo' -i.

²The high priest, Ananias, commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth.

³Hampetompoi' Paulus: "Harala nahopo' Alata'ala wo'o-ko-kowo mpai', iko to lompe' hi mali-na-wadi-ko! Mohura-ko retu mai, doko' mpobotuhi kara-kara-ku ntuku' Atura Musa, bo iko moto ntiboki Atura Musa toe, apa' nupehubui rahopo' -a."

³Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

⁴Ngkai ree, tauna to ncori Paulus mpo'uli' -ki: "Daho' rahi-ko-kona mpolibui' Imam Bohe to napelihi Alata'ala hewa tetu!"

⁴Those who stood by said, “Do you malign God’s high priest?”

⁵Na'uli' Paulus: "Uma-kuwo ku'incai kahi'a-na Imam Bohe-e. Hiaa' ria mpu'u-di to te'uki' hi rala Buku Tomoroli' to mpo'uli': `Neo' ralibui' hapa' pangkeni ngata-ta.'"

⁵Paul said, “I didn’t know, brothers, that he was high priest. For it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’” Exodus 22:28

⁶Na'inca-hawo Paulus, topohura toera, ria-ra to mpotuku' tudui' to Saduki, ria wo'o-ra to mpotuku' tudui' to Parisi. Toe pai' napesukui mpololitai-ra omea, na'uli': "Ompi' -ompi'! Aku' toi-le to Parisi-a, pai' muli to Parisi wo'o-a. Pai' -a tumai rapohurai tohe'i-e, apa' kuparasaya-kuna, tauna to mate bate tuwu' nculii'."

⁶But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. Concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!”

⁷Kara'epe-na toe, momehono' -ramo to Parisi pai' to Saduki, alaa-na uma-rapa hintuwu'.

⁷When he had said this, an argument arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.

⁸Apa' ntuku' to Saduki, tauna to mate uma tuwu' nculii', pai' uma ria kao' manusia' to tuwu' liu-liu, pai' uma ria mala'eka. Tapi' to Parisi-rana, raparasaya hawe'ea toe.

⁸For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

⁹Ka'omea-na, moe' -mi pomehono' -ra. Ria ba hangkuja dua guru agama to tono' hi to Parisi mokore pai' mehono', ra'uli': "Uma ria sala' -na tau tohe'ii. Meka' ba lue' ria mpu'u-di mala'eka ba rate mpololitai-i."

⁹A great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the Pharisees part stood up, and contended, saying, “We find no evil in this man. But if a spirit or angel has spoken to him, let’s not fight against God!”

¹⁰Ngkai ree, kaboo-bohea lau-mi pomehono' -ra, alaa-na koro' -imi kapala' tantara, nee-neo' mpai' Paulus rapomerentai lau-imi. Nahubui-mi tantara-na hilou mpo'ala' Paulus, pai' -i rakeni nculii' hilou hi tomi tantara.

¹⁰When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would 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 barracks.

¹¹Bengi karomengia-na Paulus hi tomi tantara toe, muu-mule' mokore-imi Pue' Yesus hi ncori-na, na'uli' -ki: "Pakaroho nono-nu. Oti-mi nuposabi' -ka hi Yerusalem rei, pai' bate nuposabi' wo'o-ka mpai' hi ngata Roma."

¹¹The following night, the Lord stood by him, and said, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.”

¹²Kamepulo-na, ba hangkuja dua to Yahudi mohawa' mpopatehi Paulus. Mosumpa-ra, ra'uli': "Uma-kai ulu ngkoni' ba nginu ane da koo-ko'ia kipatehi-i!"

¹²When it was day, some of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

¹³Kadea-ra to mosumpa toera, labi opo' mpulu'.

¹³There were more than forty people who had made this conspiracy.

¹⁴Jadi', hilou-ramo to mosumpa toera hi imam pangkeni pai' pangkeni to Yahudi ntani' -na, ra'uli': "Mojanci mpu'u-kai hante mosumpa, uma-kai ulu ngkoni' napa-napa ane ko'ia kipatehi-i Paulus.

¹⁴They 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.

¹⁵Wae-pi, kiperapi' hi tuama-tuama hante topohura agama bona nipakatu sura hilou hi kapala' tantara to Roma, mperapi' bona Paulus rakeni nculii' mponyanyo-koi, ntani' raparesa' tena kara-kara-na. Ntaa' kilede-idi pai' kipatehi hi lengko ohea-e!"

¹⁵Now therefore, you with the council inform the commanding officer that he should bring him down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to judge his case more exactly. We are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

¹⁶Jadi', hawa' -ra toe na'epe pino'ana' -na Paulus. Kahilou-nami hi tomi tantara mparata patuju-ra toe hi Paulus.

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

¹⁷Ngkai ree, Paulus mpokio' hadua tadulako pai' na'uli' -ki: "Po'ema' ana' toii hilou hi kapala'. Ria anu naparata."

¹⁷Paul summoned one of the centurions, and said, “Bring this young man to the commanding officer, for he has something to tell him.”

¹⁸Napo'ema' mpu'u-imi hilou hi kapala' pai' na'uli': "Paulus, to ratarungku' toei ria, merapi' bona kukeni-i ana' toii tumai hi Kapala'. Ria anu naparata-koko."

¹⁸So he took him, and brought him to the commanding officer, and said, “Paul, the prisoner, summoned me and asked me to bring this young man to you, who has something to tell you.”

¹⁹Jadi', kapala' tantara toei mpokamu pale-na ana' toei, pai' natete' -i hilou bona hira' rodua-wadi, pai' napekune' -i: "Napa to doko' nu'uli' -ka, uto'?"

¹⁹The commanding officer took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, “What is it that you have to tell me?”

²⁰Na'uli' ana' toei: "Ria-ra to Yahudi to mohawa', merapi' hi Kapala' bona mepulo mpai' uma' -ku rakeni hi poromua topohura, ntani' ra'uli' raparesa' tena kara-kara-na.

²⁰He said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down to the council tomorrow, as though intending to inquire somewhat more accurately concerning him.

²¹Neo' ratuku' pomperapia' -ra! Apa' ria-ra labi opo' mpulu' to mengkawuni hi ohea doko' mpo'inawu-i. Mojanci-ra hante mosumpa bona uma-ra ulu ngkoni' ba nginu ane da koo-ko'ia-i rapatehi. Toe lou, rodo-ramo mpopea woli' lolita ngkai Kapala' -damo."

²¹Therefore don’t yield to them, for more than forty men lie in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse neither to eat nor to drink until they have killed him. Now they are ready, looking for the promise from you.”

²²Na'uli' kapala' tantara toei: "Neo' nu'uli' hi hema-hema kanulohu-namaka patuju-ra tetu-e." Oti toe, pai' nahubui-imi nculii'.

²²So the commanding officer let the young man go, charging him, “Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.”

²⁴Oti toe, kapala' tantara toei mpokio' rodua tadulako-na, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Porodo ro'atu tantara biasa, pai' pitu mpulu' tantara to mojara', pai' ro'atu wo'o tantara to moponcii'. Porodo wo'o jara' to nahawi' Paulus. Jaa sio bengi toe mpai' lau, me'ongko' -mokoi hilou hi Kaisarea, keni-i Paulus hilou hi Gubernur Feliks. Pai' jaga lompe' -i bona uma-i moapa hi ohea."

²³He called to himself two of the centurions, and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, with seventy horsemen, and two hundred men armed with spears, at the third hour of the night about 9:00 PM .”

²⁵Oti toe, kapala' tantara mpo'uki' sura hilou hi gubernur, moni-na hewa toi:

²⁴He asked them to provide animals, that they might set Paul on one, and bring him safely to Felix the governor.

²⁶"Hi Gubernur Feliks to rabila'. Wori' tabe ngkai aku', Klaudius Lisias!

²⁵He wrote a letter like this:

²⁷Dohe sura toi, kupakatu hi Tuama hadua tauna to rahanga' Paulus. Paulus toii, rahoko' -i to Yahudi wengi, pai' neo' rapatehi lia-imi. Tapi' ku'epe Katoroma-nai. Toe pai' hilou-ama hante tantara-ku mpe'agoi-i ngkai laintongo' -ra.

²⁶“Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix: Greetings.

²⁸Apa' doko' ku'inca napa to rapakilu-ki, toe pai' kukeni-i hilou hi topohura to Yahudi bona raparesa'.

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

²⁹Raparesa' -i toe, uma-hawo ria sala' -na to masipato' rapatehi ba ratarungku' -ki. Pangadua' -ra toe, ngkai ada agama-ra moto-wadi.

²⁸Desiring to know the cause why they accused him, I brought him down to their council.

³⁰Oti toe, ku'epe karia-na patuju dada'a to Yahudi hi hi'a. Toe pai' kupopekeni-i tilou hi Tuama Gubernur. Pai' ku'uli' -raka bali' -na hi rei, kana tilou-ra hi Gubernur ane doko' rapakilu-i. Hudu rei."

²⁹I found him to be accused about questions of their law, but not to be charged with anything worthy of death or of imprisonment.

³¹Ngkai ree, ka'oti-na na'uki' sura toe, nahubui tantara-na mpokeni-i Paulus hilou hi Gubernur. Hi bengi toe rakeni-i hilou hi ngata Antipatris.

³⁰When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”

³²Kamepulo-na tantara to mako' witi' nculii' hilou hi tomi tantara. Tantara to mojara' -damo mpokeni Paulus kaliliu hilou hi Kaisarea.

³¹So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

³³Karata-ra hi Kaisarea, ratonu-miki Gubernur sura to ngkai kapala' -ra, pai' Paulus wo'o ratonu hi kuasa Gubernur.

³²But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.

³⁴Ka'oti-na Gubernur mpobasa sura toe, napekune' -i Paulus: "Hiapa ngata kaputua-nu?" Natompoi' Paulus: "Hi tana' Kilikia." Kana'inca-na Gubernur toe,

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

³⁵na'uli' -mi: "Wae. Kuparesa' moto kara-kara-nu ane rata-ra-damo mpai' bali' -nu." Oti toe, nahubui tantara-na mpojaga Paulus hi rala tomi bohe to nawangu Magau' Herodes owi.

³⁴When the governor had read it, he asked what province he was from. When he understood that he was from Cilicia, he said,

³⁵“I will hear you fully when your accusers also arrive.” He commanded that he be kept in Herod’s palace.
