Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1And Paul looking upon the council, said: Men, brethren, I have conversed with all good conscience before God until this present day.
1YA si Pablo jagueguesatan y inetnon, ya ilegña: Mañelo, lalâlâjayo contodo y minauleg y jinasoco asta este na jaane.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him 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 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?
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?
4And they that stood by said: Dost thou revile the high priest of God?
4Ya ayo sija y manotojgue gui fionña, ilegñija: Yyon Yuus y magas na pale unlalalatde?
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.
5Ayo nae ilegña si Pablo: Ti jutungo, mañelo cao güiya y magas na pale: sa esta matugue, Chamo sumasangan taelaye gui magalajen y tanomo.
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.
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.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees; and the multitude 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 no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
8Sa y Saduseo ilegñija na taya quinajulo guinin manmatae, ni angjet, ni espiritu; lao y Fariseo jasasanganja todo.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
12Ya anae manana, palo gui Judios mandaña, ya manmanjula gui papa y matdision, ilegñija na ti ufañocho yan ti ufanguimen astaqui umapuno si Pablo.
13And they were more than forty men that had made this conspiracy.
13Ya mas di cuarenta y fumatinas este na juramento.
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.
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 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.
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.
16Which when Paul’s sister’s son had heard, of their lying in wait, he came and entered into the castle and told Paul.
16Ya anae jajungog y lajin y chelun Pablo y ninangganñiñija, mapos ya jumalom gui castiyo, ya jasangane si Pablo.
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.
17Ayonae si Pablo jaagang uno gui senturion ya ilegña: Cone este y patgon na taotao asta y magas y inetnon: sa guaja para usinangane.
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.
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.
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?
19Ayonae y magas y inetnon, minantiene canaeña ya sumuja y dos gui un banda, ya finaesen, ilegña: Jafa ayo y para unsanganeyo?
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.
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.
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.
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.
22The tribune therefore dismissed the young man, charging him that he should tell no man, that he had made known these things unto him.
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 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:
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;
24And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
24Ya unfamauleque sija gâgâ sija para ujanamaudae si Pablo, ya ujacone guato satbo gui as magalaje as Felix.
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:
25Ya manugue un catta, na taegüine mapoloña:
26Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor, Felix, greeting.
26Claudio Lysias para y mas magas na magalaje as Felix, jusaluda jao.
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:
27Este na taotao, macone ni y Judios ya para ujapuno: ya matoyo yan y sendalujo ya junalibre güe, sa jutungo na Romano güe.
28And meaning to know the cause which they objected unto him, I brought him forth into their council.
28Ya malagoyo na jutungo pot jafa na mafaaela güe, ya jucone guato gui inetnonñija:
29Whom I found to be accused concerning questions of their law; but having nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bands.
29Ya jusoda na mafaaela pot finaesen gui layñija; lao taya isaoña na jamerese na umapuno, pat umapreso.
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.
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.
31Then the soldiers, according as it was commanded them, taking Paul, brought him by night to Antipatris.
31Ayonae y sendalo sija ni y tinagoña, macone si Pablo gui puenge ya macone guato Antipatris.
32And the next day, leaving the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the castle.
32Ya y inagpaña, mapolo y manquinababayo na ujafanjanao yan güiya, ya manalo guato gui castiyo.
33Who, when they were come to Caesarea, and had delivered the letter to the governor, did also present Paul before him.
33Ya anae manmato Sesarea, manae y magalaje ni y catta, ya mapoloja locue si Pablo gui menaña.
34And when he had read it, and had asked of what province he was, and understood that he was of Cilicia;
34Ya anae munjayan y magalaje jataetae y catta, jafaesen jafa na provinsia güe; ya jatungo na taotao Silisia.
35I will hear thee, said he, when thy accusers come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
35Ya ilegña nu güiya: Jujungog jao yaguin manmato locue ayo sija y fumaaela jao. Ya manago na umaadaje gui tribunal gui palasyo Herodes.
