Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
1YA si Pablo jagueguesatan y inetnon, ya ilegña: Mañelo, lalâlâjayo contodo y minauleg y jinasoco asta este na jaane.
2At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul 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! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
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?
4But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
4Ya ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña, ilegñija: Yyon Yuus y magas na pale unlalalatde?
5“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
5Ayo nae ilegña si Pablo: Ti jutungo, mañelo cao güiya y magas na pale: sa esta matugue, Chamo sumasangan taelaye gui magalajen y tanomo.
6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
6Lao 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.
7As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out 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 neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
8Sa y Saduseo ilegñija na taya quinajulo guinin manmatae, ni angjet, ni espiritu; lao y Fariseo jasasanganja todo.
9A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
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?
10The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force 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 near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
11Ya 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 daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
12Ya anae manana, palo gui Judios mandaña, ya manmanjula gui papa y matdision, ilegñija na ti ufañocho yan ti ufanguimen astaqui umapuno si Pablo.
13More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
13Ya mas di cuarenta y fumatinas este na juramento.
14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything 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 then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
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 when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went 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.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; 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 the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He 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 commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need 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 answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about 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.
21Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
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 commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this 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.
23Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
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;
24Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
24Ya unfamauleque sija gâgâ sija para ujanamaudae si Pablo, ya ujacone guato satbo gui as magalaje as Felix.
25And he wrote the following letter:
25Ya manugue un catta, na taegüine mapoloña:
26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
26Claudio Lysias para y mas magas na magalaje as Felix, jusaluda jao.
27This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
27Este na taotao, macone ni y Judios ya para ujapuno: ya matoyo yan y sendalujo ya junalibre güe, sa jutungo na Romano güe.
28and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
28Ya malagoyo na jutungo pot jafa na mafaaela güe, ya jucone guato gui inetnonñija:
29I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
29Ya jusoda na mafaaela pot finaesen gui layñija; lao taya isaoña na jamerese na umapuno, pat umapreso.
30When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
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 followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
31Ayonae y sendalo sija ni y tinagoña, macone si Pablo gui puenge ya macone guato Antipatris.
32The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
32Ya y inagpaña, mapolo y manquinababayo na ujafanjanao yan güiya, ya manalo guato gui castiyo.
33When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
33Ya anae manmato Sesarea, manae y magalaje ni y catta, ya mapoloja locue si Pablo gui menaña.
34The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
34Ya anae munjayan y magalaje jataetae y catta, jafaesen jafa na provinsia güe; ya jatungo na taotao Silisia.
35he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
35Ya ilegña nu güiya: Jujungog jao yaguin manmato locue ayo sija y fumaaela jao. Ya manago na umaadaje gui tribunal gui palasyo Herodes.
