Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Pawl mah lokcaekkungnawk khet pacoengah, Kaminawk, nawkamyanawk, Sithaw ih tok hae vaihni ni khoek to poek toenghaih hoiah ni ka sak, tiah a naa.
1And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
2To lok to thaih naah kalen koek qaima Ananias mah, anih taengah angdoe kami khaeah, Pawl ih pakha to boh pae hanah lokpaek.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to strike him on the mouth.
3To naah Pawl mah, Nang, rong kanglung hoi nok ih tapang! Sithaw mah nang ni bop lat tih: daan baktiah kai lokcaek han ih na ai maw toah nang hnut, tipongah daan ai ah kai boh han ih lok na paek loe? tiah a naa.
3Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For sittest thou to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be struck?
4To naah Pawl taengah angdoe kaminawk mah, Sithaw kami, kalen koek qaima to hae tiah zoeh sai maw? tiah a naa o.
4And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
5Pawl mah, Nawkamyanawk, anih loe kalen koek qaima ni, tiah ka panoek ai pongah ni: nangmacae ukkungnawk to zoeh hmah, tiah tarik ih oh khoep bae, tiah a naa.
5And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people.
6Toe toah kaom thoemto kaminawk loe Sadusi kami ah oh o, kalah thoemto kaminawk loe Farasi ah oh o, tiah Pawl mah panoek naah, Kaminawk, nawkamyanawk, kai loe Farasi capa ah ka oh pongah, Farasi ah ka oh: kadueh kami angthawk lethaih nuiah oephaih ka tawnh pongah, vaihi lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah kang doet, tiah a naa.
6And Paul knowing that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, cried out in the council: Men, brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees: concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
7To lok a thuih pacoengah, Farasinawk hoi Sadusinawk lok angaek o moe, abu hnetto ah ampraek o.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude was divided.
8Sadusinawk mah loe kadueh kami angthawk lethaih om ai, van kami doeh om ai, pakhra doeh om ai, tiah thuih o; toe Farasinawk mah loe to hmuennawk to oh, tiah tang o.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
9To pacoengah angzoehhaih lok to oh, nihcae thung ih ca tarik thoemto Farasi kaminawk loe angthawk o moe, lok aek pae o; nihcae mah, Hae kami zaehaih tidoeh om ai: muithla mah maw, van kami mah maw, lokthui pae nahaeloe kawbangmaw na tih o han? To pongah Sithaw koeh ai ih hmuen baktiah angzoeh o hma si, tiah a naa o.
9And there arose a great cry. And some of the Pharisees rising up, strove, saying: We find no evil in this man. What if a spirit hath spoken to him, or an angel?
10Lokpung o parai pongah, Pawl to naeh o ueloe, taprawt o pat tih boeh, tiah misatuh angraeng mah zit pongah, misatuh kaminawk to patoeh tathuk, Pawl to nihcae salak hoiah tha hoi zaehsak moe, misatuh kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih ving hanah lok a paek.
10And when there arose a great dissension, the tribune fearing lest Paul should be pulled in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
11To na aqum ah Angraeng Pawl taengah angdoet pae, Poek caksak ah, Jerusalem vangpui ah kai nang doet haih baktih toengah, Rom vangpui ah doeh nang doet haih han oh, tiah a naa.
11And the night following the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
12Khawnbang phak naah thoemto Judahnawk loe nawnto amkhueng o, Pawl hum ai karoek to buhcaak han ai ah, lokkamhaih a sak o.
12And when day was come, some of the Jews gathered together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying, that they would neither eat, nor drink, till they killed Paul.
13Pawl hum han pacaeng kaminawk loe quipalito pong pop o.
13And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
14Nihcae loe kalen koek qaima hoi kacoehtanawk khaeah caeh o moe, Pawl ka hum o ai karoek to buhcaak han ai ah lokkamhaih ka sak o boeh, tiah a naa o.
14Who came to the chief priests and the ancients, and said: We have bound ourselves under a great curse that we will eat nothing till we have slain Paul.
15To pongah vaihi nangcae lokcaek kaminawk, Hae kami kawng kahoih ah ka panoek o thai hanah, khawnbangah anih nangcae khae patoeh let hanah, misatuh angraeng khaeah hni oh: Pawl nangcae khae pha ai naah anih hum hanah kam sak o coek boeh, tiah a naa o.
15Now therefore do you with the council signify to the tribune, that he bring him forth to you, as if you meant to know something more certain touching him. And we, before he come near, are ready to kill him.
16Pawl hum hanah nihcae mah loklam ah angang o boeh, tiah Pawl tanuh ih capa mah thaih naah, misatuh kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah caeh moe, Pawl khaeah thuih pae.
16Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
17To naah Pawl mah cumvaito ukkung misatuh to kawk moe, Hae thendoeng hae misatuh angraeng khaeah caeh haih ah: anih khaeah lok maeto thuih han a tawnh, tiah a naa.
17And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune, for he hath some thing to tell him.
18To pongah misatuh ukkung mah anih to misatuh angraeng khaeah caeh haih; thongim krah Pawl mah kai ang kawk moe, hae thendoeng mah nang khaeah lokthuih han a tawnh, to pongah nang khaeah caeh haih ah, tiah ang hnik, tiah a naa.
18And he taking him, brought him to the tribune, and said: Paul, the prisoner, desired me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath some thing to say to thee.
19Misatuh angraeng mah thendoeng to ban ah patawnh, ahmuen kalah bangah caeh haih moe, tamquta hoi lok a dueng, tih lok maw thuih han na tawnh? tiah a naa.
19And the tribune taking him by the hand, went aside with him privately, and asked him: What is it that thou hast to tell me?
20To naah anih mah, Judahnawk mah khawnbangah Pawl to kamnoekta ah lokdueng han koeh o pongah, anih to lokcaekhaih ahmuen ah caeh haih tathuk hanah nang khaeah hni si, tiah lokthuih o boeh.
20And he said: The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldst bring forth Paul tomorrow into the council, as if they meant to inquire some thing more certain touching him.
21Toe Pawl hae nihcae khaeah patoeh hmah: tipongah tih nahaeloe kami quipalito pong kapop kaminawk loe Pawl hum ai karoek to buhcaak o han ai ah, lokkamhaih sak o moe, anih to loklam ah angang o boeh: vaihi nang ih lok ni a zing o, tiah a naa.
21But do not thou give credit to them; for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat, nor to drink, till they have killed him: and they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee.
22Misatuh angraeng mah to thendoeng khaeah, Kai khae nang thuih ih hmuennawk hae minawk khaeah thuih hmah, tiah thuih pae pacoengah, anih to amlaem sak.
22The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
23Anih mah misatuh cumvaito ukkung kami hnetto kawk moe, misatuh cumvai hnetto, hrang angthueng misatuh quitarukto, tayae sin misatuh cumvai hnettonawk to vaiduem atue thumto naah Caesarea ah caeh han amsak o coek ah, tiah lokpaek.
23Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen for the third hour of the night:
24Prae ukkung Filix khaeah, Pawl kahoihah phak thai hanah, hrang to suem pae o coek ah, tiah a naa.
24And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
25Misatuh angraeng mah atlim bang ih baktiah;
25(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him, and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner:
26Klaudias Lisias mah, kahoih koek Prae ukkung angraeng Filix khaeah, Bansinhaih ca kang pat.
26Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
27Hae kami loe Judahnawk mah naeh o moe, hum han thuih o boeh: anih loe Rom kami ah oh, tiah ka panoek naah, misatuh kaminawk hoi ka caeh o moe, anih to ka pahlong o.
27This man being taken by the Jews, and ready to be killed by them, I rescued coming in with an army, understanding that he is a Roman:
28Tipong maw anih zaehaih a net o, tiah panoek han ka koeh pongah, angmacae lokcaekhaih hma ah kang doetsak:
28And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
29to tiah zae nethaih loe angmacae ih daan hoi kasaeng hmuen ah oh, tiah ka panoek, to pongah anih loe thong pakhrak moe, paduek han krah ai, tiah ka hnuk.
29Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
30Anih to hum hanah angang o, tiah ang thuih o pongah, nang khaeah karangah kang patoeh; anih zaehaih net kaminawk mah doeh anih kawng nang khaeah thuih o hanah, kang patoeh roep, ngantui nasoe, tiah ca tarik pae.
30And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell.
31To pongah misatuh angraeng mah paek ih lok baktih toengah, misatuh kaminawk mah Pawl to lak o moe, khoving ah Antipatris vangpui ah caeh o haih.
31Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
32Hrang angthueng misatuh kaminawk loe khawnbangah Pawl hoi nawnto caeh o, khok hoiah kacaeh misatuh kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o let:
32And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
33hrang angthueng kaminawk Caesarea vangpui phak o naah, prae ukkung angraeng khaeah ca to paek o moe, Pawl to anih hma ah aap o.
33Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
34Prae ukkung mah ca to kroek pacoengah, naa bang prae ah kaom kami maw? tiah lok a dueng. Anih mah Cilicia ah kaom kami ni, tiah panoek naah;
34And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
35Anih khaeah, Na zaehaih net kaminawk phak o naah, nang kawng to thui si, tiah a naa. To pacoengah Pawl to a ohhaih Herod lokcaekhaih im ah kahoihah suek o hanah lok a paek.
35I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
