Acts 23
1 With a stedfast gaze at the Sanhedrin, Paul said, "Brothers, I have lived with a good conscience before God to this day."
Polo den nuali bi cancannikpeliba taancianli ki yedi ba: N kpiiba n ye U Tienu nintuali leni yaa pali seedi n ŋani ŋali dinla.
2 Then the High Priest Ananias ordered those who stood near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
Bi kopadicianba bado Ananiasa den yedi yaaba n nagi polo n pua o ñoabu.
3 "You whited sepulcher," exclaimed Paul, "God will strike you! You are sitting there to judge me according to the law, are you? And do you command me to be struck, contrary to the Law?"
Polo den yedi o: U Tienu baa pua ŋa fini u balikalikaanpienu na. A ka u bujiakaanu ki baa jia n buudi nani li balimaama n bili maama, ki nan miidi li balimaama ŋan teni ke bi pua nni yeni.
4 "Do you rail at God’s high priest?" said the bystanders.
Yaaba n se li kani den yedi Polo: A sugidi bi kopadicianba bado yoo?
5 "Brothers, I did not know that he was the high priest," exclaimed Paul, "for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of a ruler of my people."
Polo den yedi: N kpiiba mii bi bani ke o tie bi kopadicianba bado. Li diani i diani nni ki yedi: Han da maadi a buolu yudaano po yaala n bia.
6 Then perceiving that half the Sanhedrin were Sadducees and the other half Pharisee, he cried out in the Sanhedrin. "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of Pharisees! It is for the hope of the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial!"
Polo den bandi ke bi cancannikpeliba taancianli yeni siiga bine tie Sadusieninba, bine mo Falisienba. Lani o den kpaani li taanli yeni niinni ki yedi: N kpiiba n tie Falisieni n yaajanba mo den tie Falisieninba. Bi cuo nni ki baa bu leni nni kelima n sugini ke bi tinkpiba baa fii.
7 When he said this, there arose a quarrel between the Pharisees and Sadducees; the meeting was divided.
Wan den yedi yeni Falisieninba leni Sadusieninba den cili ki nia leni bi yaba, ke mi paadima den tieni li taancianli siiga.
8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel nor spirit; the Pharisees affirm them all.
Sadusieninba maadi ke bi tinkpiba fiima ki ye, ki go maadi ke malekinba leni a cicila ki ye. Ama Falisieninba wan maadi ke lankuli ye.
9 Then a great clamor arose; some of the scribes who belonged to the Pharisaic party stood up, and contended. "We find nothing wrong in this man. What if a spirit has spoken to him, or an angel?"
Ku fuugu den tieni boncianla. Libamaama bangikaaba bi tianba yaaba n tie Falisienba den fii ki nia leni u paalu ki yedi: Tii sua ke o joa ne pia tagili. Daalinba ciciliga yaaka malekoba n maadi leni o.
10 But when the dissension became violent, the tribune, fearing that they would tear Paul in pieces, ordered the troops to march down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
Mi niama den biagidi ki pugidi ŋali ke a minteela yudanciamo den jie ke bi baa ti papadi polo. Lani yaa po o den waani a minteela ban jiidi ki kua li nitaanli siiga, ki cuo Polo ki ñani o ki kuani o li diepaali nni.
11 And the following night the Lord stood by him and said. "Be of good courage; for as you have borne faithful witness concerning me at Jerusalem, so you must testify at Rome also."
Yaa ñiagu n den ŋua o Diedo den cua ki sedi Polo kani ki yedi o: Paagi a pali naniŋan tieni npo seedi Jelusalema na maama, a go baa tieni npo Loma po moko tiladi.
12 When day dawned the Jews made a conspiracy, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
Lan den fii ki fa, Jufinba den taani ki juogi, ki poli ke bi kan je, bi kan ño bi yaa kpa Polo.
13 And there were more than forty who had sworn this oath.
Yaaba n den taani ki jagi ki bili yeni cie niba piina.
14 They went to the high priests and elders, and said to them. "We have bound ourselves by a solemn oath to eat nothing until we have killed Paul.
Bi den gedi bi kopadicianba yudanba leni bi nikpeliba kani ki yedi: Ti taani ki poli ke jiema kan kua ti ñoana nni kali ti kpa Polo.
15 "Now do you and the Sanhedrin ask the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you would judge his case more exactly; and we are ready to kill him, before he comes near the place."
Lanwani, yin taani mani leni bi cancannikpeliba taancianli yaaba, ki soani a minteela yudanciamo kani ki mia o ke wan cuani Polo yi kani nani yi bua ki bandi o maama fuuli ki pugini yeni. Tinba mo ti bogini ki baa kpa o hali ke o daa pundi yi kani.
16 But Paul’s sister’s son heard of their intended attack, and he went and got into the barracks, and told Paul.
Ama Polo naataanpuoga bijua den gbadi ban jagi yaa jagibiadili ki gedi ki kua li diepaali ki waani Polo.
17 And Paul called one of the centurions, and said, "Take this young man to the tribune, for he has something to tell him."
Polo den yini minteela kobiga yudanba siiga yendo, ki yedi o: ciani o jawaalo na yi yudanciamo kani kelima o pia mi maama ki baa waani o.
18 So he took him, and brought his to the tribune, and said, "Paul, the prisoner, called me to him, and begged me to bring this young man to you, because he has something to tell you."
Minteela kobiga yudaano den ciani o jawaalo yeni a minteela yudanciamo kani ki yedi o: Yaa kadibiga n yi Polo yini nni ki mia nni min ciani o jawaalo na a kani, kelima o pia mi maama ki baa waani a.
19 And the tribune took him by the hand, and going aside, asked him privately, "What is it that you have to tell me?"
A minteela yudanciamo den cuo o jawaalo nuu ki piadi o ki buali o: a pia be maame ki baa waani nni?
20 "The Jews," he answered, "have agreed to ask you to bring down Paul tomorrow to the Sanhedrin, as though they wish to examine his case in detail.
O den yedi o: Jufinba juogi ki bili ke bi baa mia ŋa ŋan cuani Polo saala bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani nani bi bua ki buali o o maama fuuli ki pugini yeni.
21 "Now do not let them persuade, for more than forty men are lying in wait for him, who have bound themselves under a curse, not to eat nor drink until they have killed him; even now they are all ready, awaiting your consent."
Han da tuo bi miabu kelima yaa niba n cie piina wuoni ki bua ki bibi o. Bi poli ke jiema yaaka bonñokaala kan kua bi ñoana nni kali bi kpa o. Bi bogini ki ji gu ke fini n tuo bi po bi miabu bebe.
22 So the tribune sent the young man home with the injunction, "Tell no man that you have given me this information."
O yudanciamo den tundi o jawaalo ke wan da maadi oba kuli wan cua ki waani o yaala, ki cabi o.
23 Then he called two centurions to him and said. "Get ready by nine o’clock tonight two hundred infantry to march as far as Caesarea, and also seventy troopers and two hundred spearmen."
Lani o den yini minteela kobiga yudanba bilie ki yedi ba: “Teni mani minteela kobilie leni tandanba piilele leni kpandanba kobilie n bogini, ke dinla u duanyogunu yaa pendi waamu yi baa gedi Sisale.
24 He further ordered them to provide horses on which to mount Paul, so as to bring him safely to Felix, the governor.
Yin bogini mani yi taami Polo moko yaa po ki gedini o gufeneeli Felisi po leni laafia.”
25 He also wrote a letter in the following terms.
O den diani yaa tili n tie na:
26 "Claudius Lysais unto the Most Excellent Governor Felix, greeting.
“Mini Kiloda Lisiasa n fuondi a, fini ti yudaano gufeneeli Felisi.
27 "This man Paul had been seized by the Jews, and was about to be killed by them, when I came upon them with the troops, and rescued him, as I had learned that he was a Roman citizen.
Jufinba den cuo o naa joa ki bua ki kpa o. N den cua leni a minteela ki ga o bi nuu nni kelima n den bani ke o tie Loma yua.
28 "Anxious to find out why they had accused him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
N den bua ki bandi boŋanla ban den kuliti o yaala yaa po ke n geni o bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani.
29 "Here I learned that he was accused about questions of their law, but was not charged with anything worthy of death or imprisonment.
N den sua ke ban kuli o yaala po hua bi balimaama, ama ke waa tieni yaala n pundi ban kpa o, baa ki kuani o li kadidieli nni.
30 "Now when I received information that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him at once to you, charging his accusers also to speak against him before you."
Min den bandi ke Jufinba jagi opo li jagibiadili, n den jaligi ki soani o a kani, ki go waani yaaba n kuliti o, ban cuani ban kuliti o yaala po a kani U Tienu n waani ti tiyaba.”
31 So the soldiers took Paul, as they were bid, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
A minteela den tieni wan puogi ba yaala. Ku ñiagu yeni bi den taa Polo ki gedini o Antipatilisa dogu nni.
32 Next day the infantry returned to the barracks, leaving the troopers to ride on with him.
Lan den fii ki fa a taacenda den lebidi ki guani Jelusalema diepaali po, ke bi tandanba soagini Polo liiga.
33 They reached Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, and also presented Paul before him.
Bi den pundi Sesale ki teni gufeneeli li tili yeni, ki go teni o Polo moko.
34 After reading the letter, he asked to what province he belonged, and when he understood that he was of Cilicia, he said,
Gufeneeli n den cogi li tili, o den buali Polo n tie yaa diema yua. Wan den bandi ke o tie Silisi diema yua,
35 "I will hear your case when your accusers also are come." And he ordered him to be kept in custody in Herod’s palace.
o den yedi o: “Yaaba n kuliti a yaa cua, n baa songi a maama.” O den puogi a minteela ban yaa ji Polo Elodo dieciangu nni.
