1Paul long khaw khoboei rhoek te a hmaitang tih, “Manuca rhoek ka hlang rhoek, kai tah Pathen te tahae khohnin due mingcimnah boeih neh a then la ka hing thil,” a ti nah.
1Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
2Te vaengah Paul te boh ham khosoihham Ananias loh aka pai rhoek taengah a ka neh a tueih.
2At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
3Te dongah anih te Paul loh, “Pangbueng aka bok sak nang Pathen loh boh hamla cai coeng. Nang aka ngol loh olkhueng bangla kai soah laitloek saw. Tedae kai boh ham ol na paek te khingkhak coeng,” a ti nah.
3Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
4Te dongah aka pai rhoek loh, “Pathen kah khosoihham te ol na bai a? a ti nah.
4But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
5Tedae Paul loh, “Manuca rhoek khosoihham ni tila ka ming moenih. Na pilnam kah boei khaw a thae thui boel saeh tila a daek dae ta,” a ti nah.
5“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
6Te vaengah Paul loh Sadducee te hlop at la, Pharisee rhoek te a hloeh la a om te a ming.Te dongah khoboei hmaiah, “Ka manuca ka hlang rhoek, kai khaw Pharisee koca khui kah Pharisee van ni. Ngaiuepnah neh aka duek rhoek kah thohkoepnah kongah kai tah lai n'tloek thil,” tila pang.
6Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
7Te tlam te a ti dongah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah olpungnah la poeh tih, rhaengpuei la paek uh thae.
7As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8Sadducee rhoek loh thohkoepnah khaw, puencawn khaw, mueihla khaw om pawh,” a ti uh Tedae Pharisee rhoek long tah te rhoek te rhenten a pom uh.
8For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection, nor angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
9Te vaengah pangngawlnah a nah la om coeng. Pharisee rhoihui cadaek rhoek a cungvang loh pai uh tih toh uh thae. “Mueihla kawng neh puencawn kawng te a thui atah hekah hlang dongah a thae ka hmuh uh moenih,” a ti uh.
9A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
10Olpungnah muep om tih amih loh Paul te thuek ve tila rhalboeipa loh a rhih.Te dongah suntla tih Paul te khoboei lakli lamkah doek ham neh rhalkap im la thak ham rhalkap te ol a paek.
10The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.
11A vuen hlaem ah anih taengah a ka pai Boeipa loh, “Ngaimong la om ngawn, Jerusalem ah kai kawng te na laipai puei vanbangla Rom ah laipai puei ham khaw nang n'kuek ,” a ti nah.
11The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
12Khothaih a pha vaengah Judah rhoek tah lairhui a sui uh. Amamih te thae a phoei uh tih, “Paul te ka ngawn uh hlan atah buh ka ca mahpawh, tui khaw ka o mahpawh,” a ti uh.
12When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
13Te vaengah taengnah aka saii rhoek he tah sawmli hlai lo uh.
13More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
14Amih loh khosoihham rhoek neh patong rhoek te a paan uh tih, “Paul te ka ngawn uh hlan atah caak tuep pawt ham kosi neh ka thae ka phoei uh coeng.
14They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
15Te dongah anih kawng te tuektuek cae ham aka cai bangla Paul te namamih taengla hang khuen mai saeh tila rhalboeipa neh khoboei rhoek te nangmih loh yaak sak. Kaimih tah amah ha pawk tom lael ah anih ngawn ham sikim la ka om uh coeng,” a ti na uh.
15Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
16Rhongngol ha pawk te Paul kah a ngannu capa loh a yaak dongah rhalkapim la kun tih Paul taengah a puen pah.
16But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
17Te vaengah rhalboei pakhat te Paul loh a khue tih, “A taengah a puen pah ham pakhat a khueh dongah cadong he rhalboeipa taengla khuen dae,” a ti nah.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
18Te dongah anih te rhalboeipa taengla a khuen tih, “Thongtla Paul loh kai ng'khue tih, 'Nang taengah thui ham koi pakhat om tih, cadong he nang taengla khuen dae,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
19Rhalboeipa loh a kut ah a tuuk tih amah bueng a caeh puei. Te phoeiah,” Kai taengah na puen ham na khueh te balae aka om?” a ti nah.
19The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
20Te dongah, “Judah rhoek loh anih te tuektuek cae ham bet a cai vanbangla thangvuen ah Paul te khoboei taengla khuen ham nang teangah dawt sih tila a kotluep uh.
20He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
21Tedae amih te nang loh rhooi boeh. Amih khuikah hlang sawmli hlai loh anih te a rhongngol uh. Amih loh Paul te a ngawn uh hlan atah buh caak pawt ham neh tui ok pawt ham thae a phoei uh. Te dongah sikim la om uh coeng tih nang lamkah olkhueh ni a lamtawn uh,” a ti nah.
21Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
22Te dongah rhalboeipa loh, “Kai taengla nan yaak sak he puek sak boeh,” tila a uen tih cadong te a tueih.
22So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
23Te phoeiah rhalboei khuikah panit te a khue tih, “Rhalkap yahnih ah hmoel lamtah marhang caem sawmrhih, caaipom yahnih neh khoyin khonoek pathum lamloh Kaiserea la cet uh saeh.
23Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
24Boiva te rhoekbah pah. Te daengah ni Paul te ngol vetih khoboei Phelix taeng duela a daem eh?,” a ti nah.
24Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
25He kah mueimae capat a daek dongah khaw,
25And he wrote the following letter:
26Klaudius Lusias loh khoboei hlangcong Phelix taengah ka omngaih.
26Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
27Hekah hlang he Judah rhoek loh a tuuk tih amamih loh ngawn ham cai uh. Rhalkap neh ka pai thil tih ka hlawt daengah Roman hlang ni tila ka ming.
27This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
28Anih he amamih kah khoboei taengla a khuen uh tih a tingtoeh uh dongah a paelnaeh te khaw ming ham ka ngaih.
28and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29Anih he amamih kah olkhueng oldawtnah kawng dongah ni a tingtoeh uh te ka hmuh. Tedae dueknah nen khaw hloong nen khaw aka tiing dumlai a khueh moenih.
29I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
30A puen vanbangla hlang taengkah a mangtaengnah he kai taengah om tih nang taengla tlek kan tueih. Nang taengah anih kawng aka thui paelnaehkung rhoek te khaw ka uen coeng,” tila om.
30When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
31Te dongah amih a uen vanbangla rhalkap rhoek loh Paul te a loh uh tih khoyin ah Antipatris la a thak uh.
31So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
32A vuen ah Paul aka caeh puei ham marhang caem rhoek te a hlah pah tih rhalkap im la bal uh.
32The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
33Amih loh Kaiserea la a kun uh vanneh capat te khoboei taengah a tloeng uh tih Paul te khaw a taengah a pai sak uh.
33When the horsemen arrived in Caesarea, they delivered the letter to the governor and presented Paul to him.
34A tae tih a om nah kho te a dawt daengah Kilikia kah la a ming.
34The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
35Te phoeiah, “Nang aka paelnaehkung rhoek loh ham pha uh van vaengah nang lamkah khaw ka ya dae eh,” a ti nah tih, Paul te Herod kah khoboeiyung ah khueh ham ol a paek.
35he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
