Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
1Paul el ngetang suiya Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh ac fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk! Nga pulakin sik lah nga kulansupu God ke inse pwaye in moul luk nwe misenge.”
2And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
2Mwet Tol Fulat Ananias el sap mwet ma tu apkuran nu yorol Paul ah in sringilya oalul.
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?
3Paul el fahk nu sel, “Pwayena lah God El ac fah sringilkomi — kom orun luku! Kom muta insacn nununkeyu ke Ma Sap, sruk kom kunausla Ma Sap ke kom sap elos in sringilyu uh!”
4And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God’s high priest?
4Mwet ma tu apkuran nu sel Paul ah fahk nu sel, “Kom aklusrongtenye Mwet Tol Fulat lun God!”
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.
5Paul el fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk, nga tiana akilen mu el Mwet Tol Fulat. Ma Simusla uh fahk mu, ‘Kom fah tia fahk kutena kas koluk ke mwet kol lun mwet lowos uh.’”
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.
6Ke Paul el akilen lah kutu selos mwet Sadducee ac kutu mwet Pharisee, na el wowoyak ye mutun Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat ac fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk! Nga sie mwet Pharisee, wen nutin mwet Pharisee. Nununkeyuk nga inge ke sripen finsrak se ma oan yuruk lah mwet misa uh ac sifil moulyak!”
7And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
7Pacl se na el fahkla ma se inge ah, na mwet Pharisee ac mwet Sadducee mutawauk in akukuin, ac u sac nunak luoelik. (
8For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
8Tuh mwet Sadducee elos fahk mu mwet misa uh ac tia sifil moulyak liki misa, ac elos fahk pac mu wangin lipufan ku ngun, a mwet Pharisee elos lulalfongi ke ma tolu inge kewa.)
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.
9Pusren akukuin uh yokelik na, ac kutu mwet luti Ma Sap uh su mwet Pharisee elos tuyak ac liksrenina lain ac fahk, “Kut tia konauk kutena ma sutuu lun mwet se inge! Sahp acnu pwaye lah ngun se, ku lipufan se, kaskas nu sel!”
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.
10Akukuin sac arulana upala, oru leum se lun mwet mweun uh sensenak lah ac eiyuki manol Paul. Ouinge el sap mwet mweun lal uh in oatui ac eisalla Paul liki inmasrlon u sac, ac usalla nu inkul lalos uh.
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.
11In fong sac, Leum el tu siskal Paul ac fahk nu sel, “Kom in pulaik na! Kom fahkyuyak tari in acn Jerusalem, ac kom ac fah oru oapana in acn Rome.”
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.
12In lotu tok ah, oasr kutu mwet Jew fahsreni nu sie ac orek pwapa. Elos wulela na ku mu elos ac tia mongo ku nim kutena ma nwe ke na elos unilya Paul.
13And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
13Pus liki mwet angngaul pa oru pwapa se inge.
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.
14Na elos som nu yurin mwet tol fulat ac un mwet matu ac fahk, “Kut orala tari wulela na ku lasr mu kut ac tiana kang kutena ma nwe ke na kut unilya Paul.
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.
15Ke ma inge, kowos ac Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat uh in sapla nu sin leum lun mwet mweun Rome, ac fahk elan eisalu Paul nu yuruwos. Oru acnu mu kowos srakna enenu in etu kutu ma sel. A kut ac akola kut in unilya meet liki el sun acn inge.”
16And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
16Tusruktu wen se nutin mutan se wial Paul lohngak pwapa kutasrik se inge, na el som nu inkul sin mwet mweun uh ac fahkang nu sel Paul.
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.
17Na Paul el pangonma sie mwet kol lun mwet mweun uh ac fahk nu sel, “Eis mwet fusr se inge nu yurin leum fulat lun un mwet mweun uh. Oasr ma se el ke fahk nu sel.”
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.
18Mwet leum sac eisal, pwanulla nu yurin leum fulat sac ac fahk, “Paul, mwet kapir sac, el pangonyu ac siyuk nga in pwanma mwet fusr se inge nu yurum, mweyen oasr ma el ke fahk nu sum.”
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?
19Leum fulat sac sruokya paol, ac pwanulla nu saya ac siyuk sel, “Mea kom ke fahk nu sik uh?”
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.
20Ac mukul fusr sac fahk, “Mwet fulat lun mwet Jew elos insesela in siyuk sum lutu kom in usalla Paul nu yurin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat, na elos ac oru acnu mu srakna oasr ma elos ke etu kacl Paul.
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.
21Tusruktu nimet lohngolos, mweyen pus liki mwet angngaul wikwik soanel. Elos fulahk mu elos ac tia mongo ku nim nwe ke na elos unilya. Elos akola tari, tuh elos soano lah mea ac wotla sum.”
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.
22Leum fulat sac fahk, “Nimet kom fahk nu sin kutena mwet lah kom fahk ma inge nu sik.” Na el supwalla mwet fusr sac in som.
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;
23Na leum fulat sac solama luo sin mwet leum lun solse lal ac fahk, “Akoela luofoko mwet mweun an in som nu Caesarea, wi mwet kasrusr fin horse itngoul ac mwet utuk osra in mweun luofoko, ac mukuiyak ke ao eu ofong.
24And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
24Akoela kutu horse an Paul elan kasrusr fac, ac liyalang akwoye nwe ke na el sonol Governor Felix.”
25And he wrote a letter after this manner:
25Na leum sac simusla leta se, fahk ouinge:
26Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
26“Claudius Lysias, nu sel Governor Fulat Felix: Paing kom.
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.
27Mwet Jew elos sruokya mwet se inge ac akola in unilya. Nga lohngak lah el mwet Rome, pa nga us mwet mweun luk som, ac molella.
28And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
28Nga tuh kena etu lah mea elos tukakunul kac uh, ouinge nga usalla nu yurin Un Mwet Pwapa Fulat lalos.
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.
29Nga konauk lah wangin ma el oru ma ac fal elan misa ku kapir kac. Ma elos nununkal kac uh ma na nu ke kusen siyuk ke ma sap lalos sifacna.
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.
30Ac ke nga lohngak lah oasr kutu mwet Jew pwapa sulallal lainul, in pacl sacna nga wotela mu nga in supwalot nu yurum. Nga fahk nu sin mwet ma nununkal uh in oru tukak lalos uh ye motom.”
31Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
31Mwet mweun uh oru oana ma sapkinyuk nu selos uh. Elos eisal Paul ac usalla in fong sac nwe sun acn Antipatris.
32On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
32In len tok ah mwet mweun ma fahsr elos folokla nu yen selos, na mwet kasrusr ke horse uh welul na Paul som.
33Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
33Elos usalla na nwe Caesarea, ac sang leta sac nu sel Governor, ac eisalang pac Paul nu sel.
34And when the governor had read the letter , he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
34Governor el ritela leta sac ac siyuk sel Paul lah el mwet ya. Ke el konauk lah el mwet Cilicia,
35I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod’s judgment hall.
35el fahk, “Nga fah oru lohngyuk keim ke pacl mwet ma tukakin kom uh sun acn inge.” Na el sap mwet topang in taranul Paul ke inkul lal Governor uh.
