1And after five days the high priest Ananias came down, with some of the ancients, and one Tertullus an orator, who went to the governor against Paul.
1Hnin nga phoeiah khosoihham Ananias neh a ham rhoek hlangvang, Tertullus kah hlangcal pakhat te ha pawk. Amih loh Paul te khoboei taengah a phoe uh.
2And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas through thee we live in much peace, and many things are rectified by thy providence,
2Te vaengah anih aka paelnaeh te Terttullus loh pahoi a khue tih, “Nang lamloh ngaimongnah muep ka dang uh tih, na khokhannah lamloh namtom he picainah la coeng.
3We accept it always and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thanksgiving.
3Hlangcong Phelix tah uemonah boeih neh khotomrhali boeih ah ka doe uh.
4But that I be no further tedious to thee, I desire thee of thy clemency to hear us in few words.
4Tedae nang puet kan toehoeih pawt ham khaw kodonah neh kaimih taengah bawt na hnatun ham kam bih.
5We have found this to be a pestilent man, and raising seditions among all the Jews throughout the world, and author of the sedition of the sect of the Nazarenes.
5Hekah hlang he duektahaw lamni ka hmuh uh. Lunglai pumkah Judah rhoek boeih te olpungnah neh a vueh tih Nazareth buhlaelh kah a lu la om.
6Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom, we having apprehended, would also have judged according to our law.
6Anih long he bawkim khaw poeih ham a cuekcawn dongah ni amah khaw ka tuuk uh.
7But Lysias the tribune coming upon us, with great violence took him away out of our hands;
7Kaimih loh anih ka paelnaeh uh te,
8Commanding his accusers to come to thee: of whom thou mayest thyself, by examination, have knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
8boeih ming van ham anih lamkah he namah long ni na cae thai eh.
9And the Jews also added, and said that these things were so.
9Te tlam te om sak ham a ti uh dongah Judah rhoek long khaw a kotluep uh ,” a ti nah.
10Then Paul answered, (the governor making a sign to him to speak:) Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself.
10Khoboei kah a mikhip te Paul loh a doo tih, “Namtom taengah he kum te yet laitloekkung la na om dongah, kai kah ka huul uh kawng he phaeng hmat mai.
11For thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days, since I went up to adore in Jerusalem:
11Jerusalem la ka cet tih ka bawk, te lamloh hnin hlainit pataeng puet ka om pawt te na ming thai.
12And neither in the temple did they find me disputing with any man, or causing any concourse of the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
12Bawkim khuiah khat khat neh ka oelh uh khaw, tunim neh kho takuem ah hlangping a thinrhihnah ham ka saii khaw a hmuh uh heet moenih.
13Neither can they prove unto thee the things whereof they now accuse me.
13Tahae kah kai m'paelnaeh uh kawng te khaw namah taengah a tueng sak uh thai moenih.
14But this I confess to thee, that according to the way, which they call a heresy, so do I serve the Father and my God, believing all things which are written in the law and the prophets:
14Tedae pacut Pathen te ka bawk dongah a longim neh nang taengah buhlaelh n'ti na uh te khaw ka ming. Kai tah olkhueng neh tonghma cabu khuiah a daek vanbangla boeih ka tangnah.
15Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
15Pathen taengah ngaiuepnah aka khueh amamih rhoek long khaw aka dueng neh aka halang taengah om la aka cai thohkoepnah te ni a lamtawn uh.
16And herein do I endeavour to have always a conscience without offence toward God, and towards men.
16Te dongah Pathen neh hlang taengah a cuemhmuet la mingcimnah khueh yoeyah ham ni kamah khaw ka cue uh.
17Now after many years, I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings, and vows.
17Kum te yet te ka namtu taengah doedannah ka saii tih hmueih nen khaw ka pawk hmaih .
18In which I was found purified in the temple: neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
18Bawkim khuiah ka ciim uh te m'hmuh vaengah hlangping nen pawt tih, olpungnah moenih.
19But certain Jews of Asia, who ought to be present before thee, and to accuse, if they had any thing against me:
19Tedae Asia lamkah Judah hlangvang khaw om ngawn. Kai m'paelnaeh thil ham khaw khat khat ni a khueh uh atah amamih te namah hmaiah a om ham a kuek.
20Or let these men themselves say, if they found in me any iniquity, when standing before the council,
20Te phoeiah kai kah boethae a kungsut la a hmuh uh te khoboei hmaiah amamih rhoek loh thui uh saeh.
21Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them, Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you.
21Aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah kawng neh amih ka pai thil ka pang thil. Te phoeiah ol kamat khaw ka cal moenih. Te dongah ni tihnin ah kai he nangmih loh lai nan tloek thil uh ,” a ti nah.
22And Felix put them off, having most certain knowledge of this way, saying: When Lysias the tribune shall come down, I will hear you.
22Tedae a longim te tuektuek a ming vaengah Phelix loh amih te a dang pah tih, “Rhalboeipa Lusias ha pawk vaengah nangmih ham lai ka cae bitni ,” a ti nah.
23And he commanded a centurion to keep him, and that he should be easy, and that he should not prohibit any of his friends to minister unto him.
23Anih aka tawt ham neh anih aka khut te rholrhak pawt ham neh hilhoemnah khueh pah ham rhalboei te a uen.
24And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul, and heard of him the faith, that is in Christ Jesus.
24Tedae khohnin bet a di phoeiah Phelix neh a yuu Judah nu la aka om Drusilla tah ha pawk rhoi tih Paul te a tah rhoi. Te vaengah Khrih Jesuh ah tangnah kawng te a taengah a yaak.
25And as he treated of justice, and chastity, and of the judgment to come, Felix being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee.
25Te dongah duengnah, kuemsuemnah, aka lo ham laitloeknah kawng te a thuingong pah vaengah Phelix tah lakueng ngaiha la om tih, “Tahae atah na caeh ham om mai coeng, a tue te ka dang vaengah nang te kang khue bitni ,” a ti nah.
26Hoping also withal, that money should be given him by Paul; for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him.
26Tedae anih te Paul loh tangka khaw m'paek mai ni tila a ngaiuep pahoi. Te dongah Paul te puet a tah tih a taengah ol a thui pah.
27But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
27Kumhnih a cup vaengah Phelix kah rhaenghmuen te Phesto Porkio loh a loh. Te vaengah Phelix loh Judah rhoek taengah lungvatnah tueng sak a ngaih dongah Paul te a khoh tih a caehtak.
