Acts 23
1 and Paul looking earnestly at the sanhedrim, said, "Brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God even 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 but the high priest Ananias ordered those that stood next him, to smite him on the mouth.
Bi kopadicianba bado Ananiasa den yedi yaaba n nagi polo n pua o ñoabu.
3 Then said Paul to him, "God will smite thee, thou whited wall: dost thou sit to judge me according to the law, and contrary to the law commandest me to be smitten?"
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 But they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high-priest?
Yaaba n se li kani den yedi Polo: A sugidi bi kopadicianba bado yoo?
5 And Paul said, I was not aware, brethren, that it was the high-priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy 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 But Paul, knowing that the one part were sadducees, and the other pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, "Brethren, I am a pharisee, the son of a pharisee: for the hope of a resurrection of the dead I am now prosecuted."
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 Upon his saying this, there rose a contention between the pharisees and the sadducees; and the people were 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, nor angel, nor spirit; but the pharisees acknowledge both.
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 So there was a great clamor: and the scribes that were of the party of the pharisees rose up and contended, 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.
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 as there arose much contention, the tribune fearing least Paul should be torn in pieces by them, ordered a party of soldiers to go down, and take him by force out of the midst of them, and to bring him into the castle.
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 standing by him said, Paul, be of good courage; for as thou hast testified concerning me at Jerusalem, so must thou also bear testimony at Rome.
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 And when it was day, some of the Jews, having formed a conspiracy, bound themselves with 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 they were more than forty that had made this oath:
Yaaba n den taani ki jagi ki bili yeni cie niba piina.
14 who came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves by a curse to eat nothing till 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 therefore do ye with the rest of the sanhedrim signify to the tribune, that he would bring him down to you to-morrow, as if you would examine more accurately some things concerning him: and we are ready to dispatch him before he come near you."
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, hearing of the ambush, came and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
Ama Polo naataanpuoga bijua den gbadi ban jagi yaa jagibiadili ki gedi ki kua li diepaali ki waani Polo.
17 Then Paul called one of the centurions to him, and said, Introduce this young man to the tribune; for he hath 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 him to the tribune, and said, Paul the prisoner called me to him, and desired me to introduce this young man unto thee, as having something to say to thee.
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 retiring into a private apartment asked him, What is it which thou hast 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 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee, that thou wouldest bring down Paul to-morrow to the council, as if they would inquire something more strictly concerning him.
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 But do not thou comply with them: for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves with a curse neither to eat nor drink till they have killed him: and they are now ready, waiting for an order from thee.
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 Then the tribune dismissed the young man, charging him, Tell no one that thou hast discovered these things to me.
O yudanciamo den tundi o jawaalo ke wan da maadi oba kuli wan cua ki waani o yaala, ki cabi o.
23 And he called two of the centurions to him, and said, Get ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen, by the third hour of the night.
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 And provide beasts, that they may set Paul on and bring him safe to Felix the governor.
Yin bogini mani yi taami Polo moko yaa po ki gedini o gufeneeli Felisi po leni laafia.”
25 And he wrote a letter to this effect:
O den diani yaa tili n tie na:
26 Claudius Lysias to the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
“Mini Kiloda Lisiasa n fuondi a, fini ti yudaano gufeneeli Felisi.
27 This man being seized by the Jews, and about to be killed by them, I came upon them with some soldiers and rescued him: for I understand that he is a Roman.
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 But desiring to know the cause for which they accused him, I brought him down into their council:
N den bua ki bandi boŋanla ban den kuliti o yaala yaa po ke n geni o bi cancannikpeliba taancianli kani.
29 and I found he was accused about questions of their law, but had no charge against him deserving death or bonds.
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 But an ambush, which was going to be laid for the man by the Jews, being discovered to me, immediately I sent him to thee, telling his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
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 The soldiers therefore, according to the orders given them, took up Paul, 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 And the next day they returned to the castle, leaving the horsemen to go with him;
Lan den fii ki fa a taacenda den lebidi ki guani Jelusalema diepaali po, ke bi tandanba soagini Polo liiga.
33 who, when they came into Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
Bi den pundi Sesale ki teni gufeneeli li tili yeni, ki go teni o Polo moko.
34 And when the governor had read the letter, and asked of what province he was; being informed 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 thee, when thine accusers are also come. And he ordered him to be kept 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.
