Baibal Olcim (Matupi Chin)
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
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.
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
2Te vaengah Paul te boh ham khosoihham Ananias loh aka pai rhoek taengah a ka neh a tueih.
3Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
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.
4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
4Te dongah aka pai rhoek loh, “Pathen kah khosoihham te ol na bai a? a ti nah.
5Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
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.
6But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
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.
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
7Te tlam te a ti dongah Pharisee rhoek neh Sadducee rhoek kah olpungnah la poeh tih, rhaengpuei la paek uh thae.
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
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.
9And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees’ part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
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.
10And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
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.
11And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
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.
12And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
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.
13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
13Te vaengah taengnah aka saii rhoek he tah sawmli hlai lo uh.
14And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
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.
15Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
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.
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
16Rhongngol ha pawk te Paul kah a ngannu capa loh a yaak dongah rhalkapim la kun tih Paul taengah a puen pah.
17Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him , and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
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.
18So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him , and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
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.
19Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him , What is that thou hast to tell me?
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.
20And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
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.
21But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
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.
22So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
22Te dongah rhalboeipa loh, “Kai taengla nan yaak sak he puek sak boeh,” tila a uen tih cadong te a tueih.
23And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
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.
24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
24Boiva te rhoekbah pah. Te daengah ni Paul te ngol vetih khoboei Phelix taeng duela a daem eh?,” a ti nah.
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25He kah mueimae capat a daek dongah khaw,
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
26Klaudius Lusias loh khoboei hlangcong Phelix taengah ka omngaih.
27This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
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.
28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
28Anih he amamih kah khoboei taengla a khuen uh tih a tingtoeh uh dongah a paelnaeh te khaw ming ham ka ngaih.
29Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
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.
30And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
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.
31Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
31Te dongah amih a uen vanbangla rhalkap rhoek loh Paul te a loh uh tih khoyin ah Antipatris la a thak uh.
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
32A vuen ah Paul aka caeh puei ham marhang caem rhoek te a hlah pah tih rhalkap im la bal uh.
33Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before 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.
34And when the governor had read the letter , he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
34A tae tih a om nah kho te a dawt daengah Kilikia kah la a ming.
35I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
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.
