1Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.
1YA anae malofan sinco na jaane, si Ananias y mas magas na pale tumunog yan y manamco, yan un gacumuentos na naanña si Tertulo; mamacuentos gui magalaje contra si Pablo.
2When Paul had been called in, Tertullus opened the prosecution: “Because of you, we have enjoyed a lasting peace, and your foresight has brought improvements to this nation.
2Ya anae janamaagange si Tertulo, jatutujon famaaela, ilegña: Liija na pot jago na mansenmagofjam ni y dinangculon pas, yan mansenmauleg na chocho y manmachogüe güine na nasion pot y minaulegmo,
3In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
3Ya inresisibeja siempre gui todo y lugat sija contodo y minegae y grasia, O gosmauleg Felix.
4But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
4Ya pot ti junasaga jao laapmam, jutayuyut jao na unecungogjam pot y minauleg y didide na finomo.
5We have found this man to be a pestilence, stirring up dissension among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes,
5Sa inseda este na taotao na case, yan numanafanenbeste gui entalo y Judios todo y tano; yan y magas y secta y Nasareno sija;
6and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
6Güiya locue jumajanao, ya janafanataelaye y guimayuus: ya inquene güe sa manmalagojam na injisga jaftaemanoja y layta.
no verse 7 in this text
7Lao y mas magas y inetnon as Lysias mato guiya jame, yan y dangculon linalaloña ya jacone gui canaemame;
8By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
8Ya jatago y fumaaela na ufanmato guiya jago ya jagoja siña unegsamina ya untungo todo este sija na güinaja ni y infaaela güe.
9The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
9Ya y Judios locue, jaconsienteja este na güinaja na utaegüine.
10When the governor motioned for Paul to speak, he began his response: “Knowing that you have been a judge over this nation for many years, I gladly make my defense.
10Ayonae si Pablo, anae sineñas ni y magalaje na ucuentos; manope ilegña: Pot y jutungo na jago guinin jues megae na anos güine na nasion, juguesfanope pot guajoja;
11You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
11Para untungo na taya trabia mas di dose años, desde qui cajuloyo Jerusalem para jufanadora.
12Yet my accusers did not find me debating with anyone in the temple or riling up a crowd in the synagogues or in the city.
12Ya taya nae masodayo gui templo juaguaguaguate ni jaye na taotao, ni junafangalamten y taotao sija; ni y sinagoga, ni mano na siuda;
13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
13Ya ti siña ujaaprueba y güinaja ni y mafaaelajo pago.
14I do confess to you, however, that I worship the God of our fathers according to the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is laid down by the Law and written in the Prophets,
14Lao este juconfesatñaejon guiya jago, na y jinanao ni y mafananaan un Secta, taegüenao nae jusesetbe si Yuus mañaenata; jujonggue todo y güinaja ni y manmatugue gui Lay yan y profeta sija.
15and I have the same hope in God that they themselves cherish, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
15Ya guaja ninanggaco as Yuus, taegüije iya sija locue, na uguaja quinajulo guinin manmatae; parejoja y manmauleg yan y manaelaye.
16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
16Ya pot este na juprocucura, na uguaja siempre gui jinasoco na chajo umofefende si Yuus, ni y taotao sija.
17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
17Ya pago megae esta na años manmalofan matoyo para juchulie limosna y nasionjo, yan inefrese sija:
18At the time they found me in the temple, I was ceremonially clean and was not inciting a crowd or an uproar. But there are some Jews from the province of Asia
18Masodayo yan estesija, gasgas gui jalom y guimayuus, ya taya linajyan taotao, ni atboroto; lao guaja palo Judios ni y manguinin Asia:
19who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
19Ya sija, mannesesita ufangaegue güine gui menamo, ya ujasangan cao guaja jafa contra guajo.
20Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
20Patseno, sotta este y mangaegue güine ya ujasangan, yaguin manmañoda taelaye na finatinas guiya guajo, mientras tumotojgueyo gui menan y inetnon,
21unless it was this one thing I called out as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”
21Ya pot esteja y un inagang, anae estabayo gui entaloñija, ya umagangyo: Pot y quinajulo guinin y manmatae na jumafaesen pago na jaane pot jamyo.
22Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
22Lao si Felix, pot guaja mas magajet tiningoña ni ayo na jinanao, janafanmadetiene sija ya ilegña: Yaguin tumunog y mas magas y inetnon as Lysias, jutungo tododoja este y chechomiyo.
23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
23Ya jatago un senturion na uadaje si Pablo, yan unae linibre ya chaña chumochoma y manatungoña na ufanmato guiya güiya, pat umasetbe.
24After several days, Felix returned with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess. He sent for Paul and listened to him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.
24Ya malofan unos cuantos na jaane, mato si Felix yan y asaguaña as Drusila na Judia, ya janamaagange si Pablo, ya majungog guiya güiya pot y jinenggue as Jesucristo.
25As Paul expounded on righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and said, “You may go for now. When I find the time, I will call for you.”
25Ya anae jaadingane pot y tininas, yan y minauleg, yan y jinisga ni ufato, ninamaañao si Felix, ya manope ilegña: Janao unjanao pago, ya yaguin guaja mauleg na lugat junamaagagange jao.
26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
26Ya jananangga locue na uninae as Pablo salape para usinetta; enaomina jatago na ufafato cada rato, ya ujaatungo.
27After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
27Lao anae malofan dos años, si Porcio Festo mato gui cuatton Felix: ya si Felix malago na ufanue y Judios minagof, japolo si Pablo na umapreso.
