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

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

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

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

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?”

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?"

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

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

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

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."

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!”

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!"

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

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

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

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

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!”

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!"

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.

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.

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.”

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."

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.”

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."

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

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

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

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

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.”

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."

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

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

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.

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.

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.”

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.

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

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

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 .”

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.

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

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

²⁵He wrote a letter like this:

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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."

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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