¹ Bi juróomi fan wéyee, Anañas saraxalekat bu mag ba dikk, ànd ak ay njiit ak layookat bu tudd Tertul, ñu woo Pool ci yoon fa kanam boroom réew ma.

¹And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias, with the elders, and a certain orator — Tertullus, and they made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul;

² Noonu ñu woo Pool, te Tertul daldi ko jiiñ naan: «Yaw Feligsë mu tedd mi, sa nguur jural na nu jàmm ju neex, te sa jàppandil soppi na lu bare ci sunu xeet.

²and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, `Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds being done to this nation through thy forethought,

³ Gis nanu ko fépp ak ci lépp, di la gërëm ak sunu xol bépp.

³always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness;

⁴ Waaye ngir bañ a yàggal jataay bi, maa ngi lay ñaan ci sa lewetaay, nga déglu nu ci lu gàtt.

⁴and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee to hear us concisely in thy gentleness;

⁵ Ndaxte ci mbirum nit kii teew, gis nanu ne rambaaj la, buy indi xëccoo ci Yawut yi ci àddina sépp, di njiitu mbooloo mu ñuy wax Nasaréen.

⁵for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a dissension to all the Jews through the world — a ringleader also of the sect of the Nazarenes —

⁶ Dem na ba jéem a teddadil sax kër Yàlla ga, waaye jàpp nanu ko.

⁶who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took, and according to our law did wish to judge,

⁸ Soo ko laajee, yaw ci sa bopp, dinga gis ne, li nu koy jiiñ dëgg la.»

⁷and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much violence, out of our hands did take away,

⁹ Ci kaw loolu Yawut ya ànd ca, di dëggal ne loolu wóor na.

⁸having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know concerning all these things of which we accuse him;`

¹⁰ Bi loolu amee boroom réew ma jox Pool kàddu gi. Noonu mu làyyi ne: «Xam naa ne, yaa ngi àtte xeet wi diirub at yu bare, moo tax maa ngi làyyi ak kóolute.

⁹and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so.

¹¹ Man ngaa wóorliku ne, ëppagul fukki fan ak ñaar demoon naa Yerusalem ngir màggali.

¹⁰And Paul answered — the governor having beckoned to him to speak — `Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning myself I do answer;

¹² Te kenn gisu ma, maay werante mbaa di jógloo mbooloo, muy ca kër Yàlla ga mbaa ca jàngu ya mbaa ci biir dëkk ba.

¹¹thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem,

¹³ Te mënuñoo firndeel dara ci li ñu may jiiñ léegi.

¹²and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city;

¹⁴ Waaye nangu naa ci sa kanam ne, maa ngi jaamu Yàllay sunuy maam, ci topp yoon wi ñu ne, mooy tariixa; terewul ne, lépp li ñu tëral ci yoonu Musaa ak li yonent yi bind, gëm naa ko.

¹³nor are they able to prove against me the things concerning which they now accuse me.

¹⁵ Te bokk naa ak ñoom yaakaar ci Yàlla, ne ñi jub ak ñi jubadi dinañu dekki keroog yawmelxayaam.

¹⁴`And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers, believing all things that in the law and the prophets have been written,

¹⁶ Moo tax fu ma tollu, maa ngi góor-góorlu, ngir am xel mu dal fa kanam Yàlla ak fa kanam nit ñi.

¹⁵having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead, both of righteous and unrighteous;

¹⁷ «Noonu gannaaw gëjeb at yu bare ñëw naa, ngir indil sama xeet ndimbal te jébbal Yàlla ay sarax.

¹⁶and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience void of offence toward God and men always.

¹⁸ Bi ma koy def nag, gis nañu ma ca kër Yàlla ga, ma setlu ba noppi, fekk ànduma ak mbooloo te indiwuma benn coow.

¹⁷`And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my nation, and offerings,

¹⁹ Waaye ay Yawut yu dëkk Asi — xanaa kay ñoo waroon a ñëw ci sa kanam, di ma kalaame, bu ñu amee dara lu ñu may topp.

¹⁸in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult,

²⁰ Waaye it na nit ñii wax ci lan laa tooñe ci jataayu géewub àtte ba,

¹⁹whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had anything against me,

²¹ xanaa li ma waxoon ca kaw ci seen biir rekk ne: “Mbirum ndekkitel ñi dee moo tax ngeen dëj ma ci seen kanam tey!”»

²⁰or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in me in my standing before the sanhedrim,

²² Bi mu waxee noonu, Feligsë mi xam bu wóor mbirum yoon wi, yiwi leen ba beneen yoon. Mu ne leen: «Bu Lisiyas kilifag xare bi ñëwee, dinaa àtte seen mbir.»

²¹except concerning this one voice, in which I cried, standing among them — Concerning a rising again of the dead I am judged to-day by you.`

²³ Noonu mu sant njiitu xare ba ne ko: «Nanga wottu Pool, waaye nga may ko féex, te bàyyi ay xaritam, ñu topptoo ko.»

²²And having heard these things, Felix delayed them — having known more exactly of the things concerning the way — saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will know fully the things concerning you;`

²⁴ Bi ay fan wéyee, Feligsë ñëwaat, ànd ak jabaram Dursil, miy Yawut. Noonu mu woolu Pool, di ko déglu ci mbirum gëm Yeesu Kirist.

²³having given also a direction to the centurion to keep Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his own friends to minister or to come near to him.

²⁵ Waaye bi Pool di waxtaan ci mbirum njub ak moom sa bopp ak bés pénc, Feligsë daldi tiit, yiwi ko ne ko: «Demal, bu ma amee jot, dinaa la woolu.»

²⁴And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith toward Christ,

²⁶ Fekk yaakaaroon na it ne, Pool dina ko jox xaalis; kon mu di ko faral a woolu, ngir waxtaan ak moom.

²⁵and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance, and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got time, I will call for thee;`

²⁷ Bi ñaari at weesoo nag, amoon na ku wuutu Feligsë, tudd Porsiyus Festus. Noonu Feligsë, mi bëggoon lu neex Yawut ya, bàyyi Pool ca kaso ba.

²⁶and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him;

²⁷and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour on the Jews, left Paul bound.
