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.
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
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.
2When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,
3Hlangcong Phelix tah uemonah boeih neh khotomrhali boeih ah ka doe uh.
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
4Tedae nang puet kan toehoeih pawt ham khaw kodonah neh kaimih taengah bawt na hnatun ham kam bih.
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
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.
5For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
6Anih long he bawkim khaw poeih ham a cuekcawn dongah ni amah khaw ka tuuk uh.
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
7Kaimih loh anih ka paelnaeh uh te,
no verse 7 in this text
8boeih ming van ham anih lamkah he namah long ni na cae thai eh.
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
9Te tlam te om sak ham a ti uh dongah Judah rhoek long khaw a kotluep uh ,” a ti nah.
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
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.
10When the governor had beckoned to him to speak, Paul answered, “Because I know that you have been a judge of this nation for many years, I cheerfully make my defense,
11Jerusalem la ka cet tih ka bawk, te lamloh hnin hlainit pataeng puet ka om pawt te na ming thai.
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
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.
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
13Tahae kah kai m'paelnaeh uh kawng te khaw namah taengah a tueng sak uh thai moenih.
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
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.
14But this I confess to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things which are according to the law, and which are written in the prophets;
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.
15having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16Te dongah Pathen neh hlang taengah a cuemhmuet la mingcimnah khueh yoeyah ham ni kamah khaw ka cue uh.
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
17Kum te yet te ka namtu taengah doedannah ka saii tih hmueih nen khaw ka pawk hmaih .
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
18Bawkim khuiah ka ciim uh te m'hmuh vaengah hlangping nen pawt tih, olpungnah moenih.
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
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.
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
20Te phoeiah kai kah boethae a kungsut la a hmuh uh te khoboei hmaiah amamih rhoek loh thui uh saeh.
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
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.
21unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”
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.
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
23Anih aka tawt ham neh anih aka khut te rholrhak pawt ham neh hilhoemnah khueh pah ham rhalboei te a uen.
23He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.
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.
24After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
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.
25As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”
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.
26Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.
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.
27But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.
