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

¹YA si Pablo jagueguesatan y inetnon, ya ilegña: Mañelo, lalâlâjayo contodo y minauleg y jinasoco asta este na jaane.

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

²Ya y magas na pale as Ananias, jatago ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña na umapatmada pachotña.

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?”

³Ayonae ilegña si Pablo nu güiya: Si Yuus unpinatmada, apaca na padet: sa matachong jao para unjusgayo pot y lay; ya manago jao na jumapatmada contra y lay?

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

⁴Ya ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña, ilegñija: Yyon Yuus y magas na pale unlalalatde?

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

⁵Ayo nae ilegña si Pablo: Ti jutungo, mañelo cao güiya y magas na pale: sa esta matugue, Chamo sumasangan taelaye gui magalajen y tanomo.

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!”

⁶¶ Lao anae jatungo si Pablo na y un patte Saduseo, ya y otro Fariseo, umagang juyong gui inetnon: Mañelo, Guajo Fariseo, lajin un Fariseo: gui ninangga yan y quinajulo guinen manmatae na mafafaesenyo.

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

⁷Ya anae munjayan jasangan este, guaja inaguaguat gui entalo y Fariseo yan y Saduseo: ya manmadibide y inetnon taotao.

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

⁸Sa y Saduseo ilegñija na taya quinajulo guinin manmatae, ni angjet, ni espiritu; lao y Fariseo jasasanganja todo.

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!”

⁹Ya ayonae cajulo dangculon inagang: ya y palo escriba ni y manestaba gui Fariseo na patte, mangajulo ya managuaguat, ilegñija: Ti inseda tinaelaye güine na taotao: lao jafa, yaguin espiritu pat angjet sumangane güe?

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.

¹⁰Ya anae guaja dangculon inaguaguat, ya y magas y inetnon maañao na nosea umapidaso si Pablo nu sija, manago ni y sendalo na ujafanjanao papa, ya ujacone si Pablo guiya sija fuetsao, ya umacone jalom gui castiyo.

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.”

¹¹¶ Ya anae puenge, y Señot tumojgue gui oriyaña, ya ilegña: Namauleg inangocomo Pablo: sa taemanoja y ninamatungomo nu guajo guiya Jerusalem, taegüijeja locue nae unnamatungo guiya Roma.

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.

¹²¶ Ya anae manana, palo gui Judios mandaña, ya manmanjula gui papa y matdision, ilegñija na ti ufañocho yan ti ufanguimen astaqui umapuno si Pablo.

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

¹³Ya mas di cuarenta y fumatinas este na juramento.

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.

¹⁴Ya manmalag y magas mamale, yan y manamco, ya ilegñija: Esta manmanjulajam gui papa y matdision, na ti infañocho ni jafa astaqui inpino si Pablo.

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.”

¹⁵Ya pago jamyo yan y dinaña, fanatungo yan y magas y inetnon ya infanmaconie agupa, ya inquetungo palo mas magajet pot güiya; ya jame infamaulegjam para, yaguin esta jijot, inpino.

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

¹⁶Ya anae jajungog y lajin y chelun Pablo y ninangganñiñija, mapos ya jumalom gui castiyo, ya jasangane si Pablo.

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

¹⁷Ayonae si Pablo jaagang uno gui senturion ya ilegña: Cone este y patgon na taotao asta y magas y inetnon: sa guaja para usinangane.

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.”

¹⁸Ya jamantiene, ya jacone guato gui magas y inetnon, ya ilegña: Si Pablo ni y maprereso jaagangyo, ya jatayuyutyo para jucone este y taotao guato guiya jago, sa guaja para unsinangane.

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

¹⁹Ayonae y magas y inetnon, minantiene canaeña ya sumuja y dos gui un banda, ya finaesen, ilegña: Jafa ayo y para unsanganeyo?

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.

²⁰Ya güiya ilegña: Y Judios esta manatungo na unmagagao ya uncone agupa papa si Pablo gui inetnon, taegüije y malagoñija, na umaquetungo y magajet guiya güiya.

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.”

²¹Lao chamo umangongoco jao nu sija: sa esta y manmannanangga pot güiya, mas di cuarenta na taotao ni y manmanjula na ti ufañocho, yan ti ufanguimen astaqui mapuno güe; ya pago umananggañiñija y promesamo.

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

²²Ayonae y magas y inetnon, janajanao y patgon na taotao, ya jaencatga, na chaña sumangangane ni jaye na taotao na ninatungo güe ni este na güinaja.

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 .”

²³Ya jaagang dos na senturion, ya ilegña: Nalisto dosientos na sendalo para ufanjanao para Sesarea, yan setenta ni y manquinababayo, yan dosientos ni y manmanlalansa, para y mina tres na ora gui puenge;

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

²⁴Ya unfamauleque sija gâgâ sija para ujanamaudae si Pablo, ya ujacone guato satbo gui as magalaje as Felix.

²⁵He wrote a letter like this:

²⁵Ya manugue un catta, na taegüine mapoloña:

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

²⁶¶ Claudio Lysias para y mas magas na magalaje as Felix, jusaluda jao.

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.

²⁷Este na taotao, macone ni y Judios ya para ujapuno: ya matoyo yan y sendalujo ya junalibre güe, sa jutungo na Romano güe.

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

²⁸Ya malagoyo na jutungo pot jafa na mafaaela güe, ya jucone guato gui inetnonñija:

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

²⁹Ya jusoda na mafaaela pot finaesen gui layñija; lao taya isaoña na jamerese na umapuno, pat umapreso.

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.”

³⁰Ya anae masanganeyo jafa y Judios ninangganñiñija pot y taotao, enseguidas jutago para iya jago, ya fanago para ayo sija y fumaaela y ujasangan gui menamo jafa guaja guiya sija contra güiya. Adios.

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

³¹¶ Ayonae y sendalo sija ni y tinagoña, macone si Pablo gui puenge ya macone guato Antipatris.

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

³²Ya y inagpaña, mapolo y manquinababayo na ujafanjanao yan güiya, ya manalo guato gui castiyo.

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

³³Ya anae manmato Sesarea, manae y magalaje ni y catta, ya mapoloja locue si Pablo gui menaña.

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

³⁴Ya anae munjayan y magalaje jataetae y catta, jafaesen jafa na provinsia güe; ya jatungo na taotao Silisia.

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

³⁵Ya ilegña nu güiya: Jujungog jao yaguin manmato locue ayo sija y fumaaela jao. Ya manago na umaadaje gui tribunal gui palasyo Herodes.
