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.
1Len limekosr toko, Mwet Tol Fulat Ananias el som nu Caesarea wi kutu mwet matu lun mwet Jew oayapa Tertullus, sie mwet sasla ke ma sap lun mwet Rome. Elos utyak ye mutal Governor Felix ac oru tukak lalos lainul Paul.
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.
2Na pangyak Paul, ac Tertullus el mutawauk in sramsram lainul, ac pa inge ma el fahk uh: “Governor Fulatlana, woiyen kol lom uh ase moul in misla nu sesr ke lusen pacl na loes se, ac ouiya puspis ma enenu in ikilyukla in akwoye facl sesr uh orekla tari.
3In every way and everywhere, most excellent Felix, we acknowledge this with all gratitude.
3Kut insewowo ke ma inge yen nukewa ac ke pacl nukewa, ac kut arulana kulo nu sum kac.
4But in order not to burden you any further, I beg your indulgence to hear us briefly.
4Nga tia lungse eisla pacl lom, tusruktu nga siyuk kom in nunak munas porongo kas fototo ma kut ac fahk inge.
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,
5Kut konauk tuh na mwet se inge mwet na sensen se, su purakak lokoalok lulap inmasrlon mwet Jew in acn nukewa fin faclu, ac el mwet kol se lun u se pangpang Nazarene.
6and he even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him.
6El oayapa srike in aktaekye Tempul, ac kut sruokilya.
8By examining him yourself, you will be able to learn the truth about all our charges against him.”
8Kom fin kusen siyuk sin mwet se inge, kom ac fah ku in sifacna etu ma nukewa sel ke ma kut tukakunul kac uh.”
9The Jews concurred, asserting that these charges were true.
9Mwet Jew elos akkalemye lah elos insese nu ke kas in tukak inge nukewa.
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.
10Na Governor el srisrsrisr nu sel Paul elan sramsram, na Paul el fahk, “Nga etu lah kom pa nununku mutunfacl se inge ke yac na pus, ouinge nga insewowo in sifacna loangeyu ye motom.
11You can verify for yourself that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship.
11Kom ku in sifacna akpwayeye lah len na singoul luo somla pa nga tuh som nu Jerusalem in alu.
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.
12Mwet Jew uh tiana liye ngan akukuin nu sin kutena mwet in Tempul, ac elos tia pacna liye ngan purakak mwet uh — tia in iwen lolngok ku kutena acn saya in siti uh.
13Nor can they prove to you any of their charges against me.
13Ac elos tia pac ku in akpwayei nu sum ke ma elos tukakinyu kac inge.
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,
14Nga ku in fahk nu sum lah pwaye nga alu nu sin God lun mwet matu lasr uh ke nga fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum — Inkanek se ma elos inge fahk mu ma kikiap. Tusruktu nga wi lulalfongi ma nukewa simla in Ma Sap lal Moses ac book lun mwet palu uh.
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.
15Finsrak luk in God oapana finsrak lalos uh, aok finsrak se ma fahk mu mwet nukewa — mwet suwohs ac mwet sesuwos — ac fah moulyak liki misa.
16In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before God and man.
16Ke ma inge, in pacl nukewa nga sang kuiyuk nufon tuh in nasnas insiuk ye mutun God ac ye mutun mwet uh.
17After several years, then, I returned to Jerusalem to bring alms to my people and to present offerings.
17“Tukun nga muta sayen Jerusalem ke kutu yac, nga tuh folokla nu we in us kutu mani in kasru mwet Jew wiuk, ac in tuh orek kisa.
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
18Pacl se ma nga tuh oru ma inge pa elos koneyuyak in Tempul, tukun nga aksafyela alu in aknasnas luk ah. Wangin un mwet wiyu, ac wangin pac fohs.
19who ought to appear before you and bring charges, if they have anything against me.
19Tusruktu oasr kutu mwet Jew su tuku Asia me wi muta we in pacl sac. Elos pa enenu in oru tukak lalos nu sum, fin oasr ma elos ac fahk in lainyu.
20Otherwise, let these men state for themselves any crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin,
20Ku, kom ku in sap mwet inge in fahk nu sum lah mea elos liye mu nga sutuela kac ke nga tuh tu ye mutun Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat ah —
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.’”
21sayen kas sefanna nga tuh wowoyak ac fahk ke nga tu ye mutalos: ‘Nununkeyuk nga ye motowos misenge mweyen nga lulalfongi mu mwet misa uh ac fah sifil moulyak.’”
22Then Felix, who was well informed about the Way, adjourned the hearing and said, “When Lysias the commander comes, I will decide your case.”
22Na Felix, su yohk etu lal ke Inkanek lun Leum, el aksafyela lohngyuk sac. Ac el fahk, “Nga fah wotela ma ac orek ke lohngyuk se inge ke pacl Lysias, leum fulat lun un mwet mweun uh, el tuku.”
23He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard, but to allow him some freedom and permit his friends to minister to his needs.
23El sap mwet mweun ma taranul Paul in liyalang na, tusruk in sang kutu pacl sukosok lal, ac fuhlela mwet kawuk lal in kasrel ac in sang kutena enenu lal uh.
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.
24Tukun kutu len, Felix el usal Drusilla, mutan kial, tuku. Mutan se inge mwet Jew. Felix el solalma Paul, in lohng ke el sramsram ke ouiyen lulalfongi lal ke Christ Jesus.
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.”
25Tuh ke Paul el srumun ke ouiyen moul suwohs, oayapa ke sifacna leum fac, ac ke Len in Nununku se su ac fah tuku, Felix el sangeng ac fahk, “Kom ku in tari som. Nga fah sifil pangon kom fin oasr pacl luk.”
26At the same time, he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe. So he sent for Paul frequently and talked with him.
26El tuh finsrak mu Paul el ac sang mani nu sel, ac ke sripa se inge el solal pacl pus in sramsram nu sel.
27After two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And wishing to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
27Tukun yac luo, Porcius Festus el aolulla Felix in governor. Felix el lungse akinsewowoye insien mwet Jew, ouinge el fililyana Paul in presin.
