Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.
1YA anae malofan sinco na jaane, si Ananias y mas magas na pale tumunog yan y manamco, yan un gacumuentos na naanña si Tertulo; mamacuentos gui magalaje contra si Pablo.
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,
2Ya anae janamaagange si Tertulo, jatutujon famaaela, ilegña: Liija na pot jago na mansenmagofjam ni y dinangculon pas, yan mansenmauleg na chocho y manmachogüe güine na nasion pot y minaulegmo,
3we accept it in all ways and in all places, most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
3Ya inresisibeja siempre gui todo y lugat sija contodo y minegae y grasia, O gosmauleg Felix.
4But that I don’t delay you, I entreat you to bear with us and hear a few words.
4Ya pot ti junasaga jao laapmam, jutayuyut jao na unecungogjam pot y minauleg y didide na finomo.
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.
5Sa inseda este na taotao na case, yan numanafanenbeste gui entalo y Judios todo y tano; yan y magas y secta y Nasareno sija;
6He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.
6Güiya locue jumajanao, ya janafanataelaye y guimayuus: ya inquene güe sa manmalagojam na injisga jaftaemanoja y layta.
no verse 7 in this text
7Lao y mas magas y inetnon as Lysias mato guiya jame, yan y dangculon linalaloña ya jacone gui canaemame;
8By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”
8Ya jatago y fumaaela na ufanmato guiya jago ya jagoja siña unegsamina ya untungo todo este sija na güinaja ni y infaaela güe.
9The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.
9Ya y Judios locue, jaconsienteja este na güinaja na utaegüine.
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,
10Ayonae si Pablo, anae sineñas ni y magalaje na ucuentos; manope ilegña: Pot y jutungo na jago guinin jues megae na anos güine na nasion, juguesfanope pot guajoja;
11seeing that you can verify that it is not more than twelve days since I went up to worship at Jerusalem.
11Para untungo na taya trabia mas di dose años, desde qui cajuloyo Jerusalem para jufanadora.
12In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.
12Ya taya nae masodayo gui templo juaguaguaguate ni jaye na taotao, ni junafangalamten y taotao sija; ni y sinagoga, ni mano na siuda;
13Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.
13Ya ti siña ujaaprueba y güinaja ni y mafaaelajo pago.
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;
14Lao este juconfesatñaejon guiya jago, na y jinanao ni y mafananaan un Secta, taegüenao nae jusesetbe si Yuus mañaenata; jujonggue todo y güinaja ni y manmatugue gui Lay yan y profeta sija.
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.
15Ya guaja ninanggaco as Yuus, taegüije iya sija locue, na uguaja quinajulo guinin manmatae; parejoja y manmauleg yan y manaelaye.
16In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.
16Ya pot este na juprocucura, na uguaja siempre gui jinasoco na chajo umofefende si Yuus, ni y taotao sija.
17Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;
17Ya pago megae esta na años manmalofan matoyo para juchulie limosna y nasionjo, yan inefrese sija:
18amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil.
18Masodayo yan estesija, gasgas gui jalom y guimayuus, ya taya linajyan taotao, ni atboroto; lao guaja palo Judios ni y manguinin Asia:
19They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.
19Ya sija, mannesesita ufangaegue güine gui menamo, ya ujasangan cao guaja jafa contra guajo.
20Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,
20Patseno, sotta este y mangaegue güine ya ujasangan, yaguin manmañoda taelaye na finatinas guiya guajo, mientras tumotojgueyo gui menan y inetnon,
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!’”
21Ya pot esteja y un inagang, anae estabayo gui entaloñija, ya umagangyo: Pot y quinajulo guinin y manmatae na jumafaesen pago na jaane pot jamyo.
22But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”
22Lao si Felix, pot guaja mas magajet tiningoña ni ayo na jinanao, janafanmadetiene sija ya ilegña: Yaguin tumunog y mas magas y inetnon as Lysias, jutungo tododoja este y chechomiyo.
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.
23Ya jatago un senturion na uadaje si Pablo, yan unae linibre ya chaña chumochoma y manatungoña na ufanmato guiya güiya, pat umasetbe.
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.
24Ya malofan unos cuantos na jaane, mato si Felix yan y asaguaña as Drusila na Judia, ya janamaagange si Pablo, ya majungog guiya güiya pot y jinenggue as Jesucristo.
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.”
25Ya anae jaadingane pot y tininas, yan y minauleg, yan y jinisga ni ufato, ninamaañao si Felix, ya manope ilegña: Janao unjanao pago, ya yaguin guaja mauleg na lugat junamaagagange jao.
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.
26Ya jananangga locue na uninae as Pablo salape para usinetta; enaomina jatago na ufafato cada rato, ya ujaatungo.
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.
27Lao anae malofan dos años, si Porcio Festo mato gui cuatton Felix: ya si Felix malago na ufanue y Judios minagof, japolo si Pablo na umapreso.
