1 Noonu Pool xool jàkk géew ba ne leen: «Bokk yi, ci xel mu dal laa doxale ci kanam Yàlla ba ci bésu tey bi.»
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
2 Ci kaw loolu saraxalekat bu mag ba, di ku ñuy wax Anañas, sant ña taxaw ca wetam, ñu fél gémmiñam.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
3 Pool ne ko: «Yàlla dina la dóor, yaw mi naaféq, bay samandaay miir bu joy bu ñu weexal. Yaa ngi toog di ma àtte, ci li yoon wi digle, ba noppi santaane ñu dóor ma, ci li yoon wi tere!»
3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
4 Waaye ña taxaw ca wetam ne ko: «Ndax dangay xas saraxalekat bu mag, bi Yàlla fal?»
4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
5 Pool tontu leen: «Bokk yi, xawma woon ne saraxalekat bu mag bi la, ndaxte tëral nañu ci Mbind mi ne: “Bul wax lu bon sa kilifag xeet.”»
5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
6 Naka noona Pool, mi xam ne, genn-wàllu kureel ga bokk nañu ci tariixab Sadusen ya, te ña ca des bokk ci tariixab Farisen ya, mu wax ci kaw ci biir géew ba ne: «Bokk yi, man Farisen laa, te Farisen moo ma jur; li tax ñu may àtte tey mooy sama yaakaar ci ne, ñi dee dinañu dekki.»
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7 Bi mu waxee loolu nag, werante wu metti daldi xew diggante Farisen ya ak Sadusen ya, ba mbooloo ma xaajalikoo.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
8 Ndaxte Sadusen yi nanguwuñu ne, ndekkite mbaa malaaka mbaa rab, dara am na ci, waaye Farisen nangu nañu yooyu yépp.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9 Ci kaw loolu nag coow lu bare daldi jib. Ñenn ca xutbakat, ya bokk ca Farisen ya, ne bërét, daldi xuloo bu metti ne: «Gisunu dara lu bon ci nit kii. Su fekkeente ne, rab a ko wax mbaa malaaka...?»
9And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
10 Noonu xuloo ba daldi gën a tàng, ba kilifa ga ragal ne, nit ñi dinañu daggaate Pool. Kon mu sant xarekat ya, ñu wàcc, nangu Pool ci ñoom, yóbbu ko ca tata ja.
10And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11 Ca guddi ga nag Boroom bi taxaw ci wetu Pool ne ko: «Takkal sa fit; ni nga ma seedee ci Yerusalem, noonu nga may seedee ca Room.»
11And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12 Bi bët setee Yawut ya daldi lal pexe; ñu dige ci ngiñ ne, duñu lekkati, duñu naanati, ba kera ñuy rey Pool.
12And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
13 Ña lal pexe ma, seen lim ëpp na ñeent-fukk.
13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
14 Noonu ñu dem ca saraxalekat yu mag ya ak njiit ya ne leen: «Giñ nanu ne, dunu mos dara, ba kera nuy rey Pool.
14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
15 Léegi nag yéen ak kureelu àttekat ya, laajleen kilifa ga, mu indi ko ci seen kanam, mel ni dangeen a bëgg a seet mbiram bu gën a wóor. Bu ko defee nun dinanu fagaru, ngir rey ko, bala moo agsi.»
15Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
16 Waaye jarbaatu Pool yég fiir ga, mu dem, dugg ca tata ja, yégal ko Pool.
16And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
17 Bi ko Pool déggee, mu woo kenn ca njiiti xare ba ne ko: «Yóbbul waxambaane wii ca kilifa ga, ndax am na lu mu ko war a yégal.»
17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
18 Njiit la jël ko, yóbbu ko ca kilifa ga ne ko: «Pool, mi ñu jàpp, moo ma woo, ñaan ma, ma indil la waxambaane wii, ndaxte am na lu mu lay wax.»
18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
19 Noonu kilifa ga jàpp ci loxob waxambaane wa, wéetoo ak moom, laaj ko: «Loo ma bëgg a yégal?»
19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
20 Mu tontu ne: «Yawut yi dañoo dige, ngir ñaan la, nga indi Pool ëllëg ca kanamu kureelu àttekat ya, mel ni dañoo bëgg a seet mbiram bu gën a wóor.
20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
21 Bu leen ko may, ndaxte lu ëpp ñeent-fukk ci ñoom ñu ngi koy lalal fiir. Dige nañu ak ngiñ ne, dootuñu lekk, dootuñu naan, li feek reyuñu ko; fi mu ne sax fagaru nañu, di xaar, nga nangu.»
21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22 Kilifa ga nag sant waxambaane wa, mu bañ koo àgge kenn, ba noppi mu yiwi ko, mu dem.
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
23 Bi mu ko defee mu woo ñaar ci njiiti xare ba ne leen: «Waajal-leen ñaari téeméeri xarekat ak juróom-ñaar-fukki gawar ak ñaari téeméer ñu gànnaayoo xeej, ngeen dem Sesare ci juróom-ñeenti waxtu ci guddi.
23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
24 Wutal-leen it Pool lu mu war, ngeen yóbbu ko ci jàmm ak salaam ba ca Feligsë, boroom réew mi.»
24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
25 Noonu mu bind bataaxal bii:
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26 Yaw Feligsë mu tedd mi, di boroom réew mi; man Këlódd Lisiyas maa ngi lay nuyu.
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
27 Yawut yi jàpp nañu nit kii, bëgg koo rey, waaye bi ma yégee ne, jaambur la ci Room, wallu naa ko ak ay xarekat, ba musal ko.
27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
28 Bëggoon naa xam lu tax ñu kalaame ko. Moo tax ma yóbbu ko ca kanamu seen kureelu àttekat ya.
28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
29 Gis naa ne li ñu ko jiiñ mu ngi aju ci ay werantey seen yoon, waaye jiiñuñu ko dara lu jar dee mbaa jéng.
29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
30 Te bi ma déggee ne, ñu ngi koy fexeel, yebal naa ko ci yaw ci saa si. Sant naa nag ñi ko kalaame, ñu xamal la seen lay.
30And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
31 Noonu xarekat ya jël Pool ci guddi, indi ko ba ca dëkku Antipataris, ni ñu leen ko sante.
31Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
32 Ca ëllëg sa ñu woññiku, dellusi ca tata ja, bàyyi gawar ga, ñu gunge ko.
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
33 Bi gawar ga àggee Sesare, ñu jox boroom réew ma bataaxal ba, jébbal ko Pool.
33Who, when they came to Caesarea and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
34 Bi loolu amee boroom réew ma jàng bataaxal ba, laaj ci ban diiwaan la Pool dëkk. Bi mu yégee ne, mu ngi dëkk Silisi,
34And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
35 mu ne ko: «Kon bu ñi la kalaame ñëwee, dinga layoo.» Mu santaane nag, ñu denc ko ca kër buur ba Erodd.
35I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
