1 PBCSN Paulus nebei Yahudi yoyo koseyore ijoko neumiboke erewoumi wa, weumi, “Aka naei baeke naei, meke mana yane Allahle ro be ro yoinye raei kena une na ijen naeise weufe a na foi mo.” BSB BSB: Paul looked directly at the Sanhedrin and said, “Brothers, I have conducted myself before God in all good conscience to this day.”
2 PBCSN Paulus nebei a eleukokene, imam kaban Ananias Paulus na kelaeunge hebate yore ukeumi Paulus neuwabe mefae yae ahunainyeboke. BSB BSB: At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.
3 PBCSN Paulus imam kabande weunge, “Allah ware mefae ma ungete, wa kena u foise yolo-yolore eleyae kiyae! Nebeisa meunguweubokae Musale walora wali heere foloukoke homofae huluisa raei walire hului raufehindere. Nda mefae ukamae ahunaiseboke walora Musalena a weyae asasibe koukokae?” BSB BSB: Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit here to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck.”
4 PBCSN Nebei yo Paulusle kelaeunge hebate yo yae wainye, “Na mekai ban sele weyae Allahle imam kabande a beko yae weungelere!” BSB BSB: But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”
5 PBCSN Nebeibe Paulus beufoke weumi, “Aka naei baeke naei, reyae raeisaei ban neyae imam kabande hebele. Na hele, Allahle homofaene honole, mai yona yanna ondofolo kosere a beko faeu beko eweyeijae.” BSB BSB: “Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”
6 PBCSN Paulus naeisaei yeuboke, nda Yahudi yoyo koseyo hiwa Saduki ro, hiwa Farisi ro. Nebeinye na a kaban mae Paulus weumi, “Aka naei baeke naei, reyae Farisina ro nane merau maeko Farisina. Rare mekaube ndane huluise ranaisehindere, erabuhi aerene ban, herewate yo anainyunde reyae a hele yae elalene!” BSB BSB: Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “Brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee. It is because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial.”
7 PBCSN Nebei are mo eleukoke bae, Sadukine Farisine aku bumana nekate eke holo beere waheukoke. BSB BSB: As soon as he had said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided.
8 PBCSN Saduki holona yo yae elate, ro miyae herate yo benen ainyui, malaikat ure yeuboke, unulu nane merau u. Farisi yae elate ro miyae herenate yo anainyunde, malaikat nekate, unulu nane merau nekate. BSB BSB: For the Sadducees say that there is neither a resurrection nor angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.
9 PBCSN Akhu nau kaban sele keteuboke Farisi Musale walora wali heere foloukoke a isaeyaeiboke kelaeimi yo hiwa Paulusle aerene aku howate elate, “Rahe a faeu me u beko mokouboke? Nauwae, unulu hi yae malaikat hi yae nare weungekoke era!” BSB BSB: A great clamor arose, and some scribes from the party of the Pharisees got up and contended sharply, “We find nothing wrong with this man. What if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
10 PBCSN Nebei kali maleu-maleufa kaenewate kabanire bewole. Nebei fela yun buhae hokoungeboke nendon Paulus na uwabe yo yobonate nolora beere wahengkonde bele. Nebeinye naei felayore ukeumi Paulusre nebei ro miyae nolora yawainyehoke, felayo naei ongko imae kabande ekate. BSB BSB: The dispute grew so violent that the commander was afraid they would tear Paul to pieces. He ordered the soldiers to go down and remove him by force and bring him into the barracks.
11 PBCSN Nebei reniai mo, Tuhan meke Paulusle bokone meufebeunguke weunge, “Paulus, buhae ohokoijae. Yerusalemne Raei ako faeukore wamae hului mbai, nebei sului mbai Roma yone Raei a eumihuwende.” BSB BSB: The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about Me in Jerusalem, so also you must testify in Rome.”
12 PBCSN Ya heuboke na rene mo, Yahudi ro miyae hiwa holo mbai mokaiboke. Nebei yo a holo yae kaikoke na moni mo nekenaimende, Paulus honaibondera wa bu anenaisinde raman anenaikonde. BSB BSB: When daylight came, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
13 PBCSN Na ro helen nen holo wokainyele mewate yo rorele u beere moi hayeukoke. BSB BSB: More than forty of them were involved in this plot.
14 PBCSN Imam yun-jun bele Yahudi yun-jun bele naei bokore ekate waimi, “Meyae here wali. Raman bu anei mo nekemamende Paulusre homabonde wa, raman anemale. BSB BSB: They went to the chief priests and elders and said, “We have bound ourselves with a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
15 PBCSN Mana mangkele Yahudi naei yoyo koseyo bele fela yunde homo yae molongkombe riyennehimbe. Wennele Paulus benen mai bene yende na wali foi yae kolonainyekonde. Meyae nibine rakemahande, mende, na hibi homabonde.” BSB BSB: Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him down to you on the pretext of examining his case more carefully. We are ready to kill him on the way.”
16 PBCSN Nebeibe Paulus nemaenbe fa yae nebei mehinin kolowainye isaeyeuboke. Eke felayo naei ongko imae kabanne Paulusre ukeunge. BSB BSB: But when the son of Paul’s sister heard about the plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.
17 PBCSN Paulus nebei fela yunde hebate ro mbaise kaeneungekoke meke weunge, “Nda hokolo fa yaweinyoho mai yumbe bokore eu, naeinya a mbai rouke mekere wennelere.” BSB BSB: Then Paul called one of the centurions and said, “Take this young man to the commander; he has something to tell him.”
18 PBCSN Nebei fela yunde hebate ro yae nebei hokolo fare yaweungehoke ekete nebei fela yunde weunge, “Paulus, nebei ro kawane haennekoke kiyae, rare ukeufe nda hokolo fa waei bokore yaweungehokale meke, neyae a mbaise ungetere.” BSB BSB: So the centurion took him to the commander and said, “Paul the prisoner sent and asked me to bring this young man to you. He has something to tell you.”
19 PBCSN Nebei fela yun nebei hokolo fare na mera ikileungeboke yaweungehoke enere nenaei wanen mae ekete hebeiboke hineunge, “Rare rahe are weufelere weyae mekae?” BSB BSB: The commander took the young man by the hand, drew him aside, and asked, “What do you need to tell me?”
20 PBCSN Nebei fa yae weunge, “Yahudi ro miyae a mokainyehake ware ungayete benen Paulusre yawennehombe Yahudi yoyo koseyo naei bere embere. Naei waeli bewate Paulus benende Yahudi yoyo koseyo bene naei beko mokowolere na foi yae hele halenainyekondere. BSB BSB: He answered, “The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin tomorrow on the pretext of acquiring more information about him.
21 PBCSN Nebeibe weyae nare ehakoimimae. Rabuhine ban, ro rorele u beere moi hayeukoke hului, na ro helen nen nibine nunne ahenaikonde nare habenainyehandere. Neyae nemene a holo kaikoke, ‘Eraman anei mo nekenaimende Paulus honaibonde wa, raman anenate.’ Nda hee nebei yo nemene ninae mokainyehake, waeinya a hokoukondere rakate.” BSB BSB: Do not let them persuade you, because more than forty men are waiting to ambush him. They have bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they have killed him; they are ready now, awaiting your consent.”
22 PBCSN Nebei fela yun mae weunge, “Rare nare mekae ukarae, hire-hire eyakaijae mo.” Nebeisa nebei fare ukeunge ewole. BSB BSB: So the commander dismissed the young man and instructed him, “Do not tell anyone that you have reported this to me.”
23 PBCSN Nebei fa ewole mo, nda fela yun na keleena ro bee kaeneumikoke mekete weumi, “Mayae ebe mokonehabe fela bele yo nemene 200, kuda randa felayo nemene 70, ro menda bele yo nemene 200. Ro miyae yarele me henayende nekemale hee, mayae kulun wembe Kaisarea yore embe. BSB BSB: Then he called two of his centurions and said, “Prepare two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen, and two hundred spearmen to go to Caesarea in the third hour of the night.
24 PBCSN Paulus yae efilengkonde kuda bele mokonnehambe. Na foi moi yae yawennehombe embe Yudea kani naei Gubernur Feliksle bokone.” BSB BSB: Provide mounts for Paul to take him safely to Governor Felix.”
25 PBCSN Hokolo beere a weumikokera mo, nebei fela yun homo moloukoke ikeumi. Nda wanen mae na homo moloukoke, BSB BSB: And he wrote the following letter:
26 PBCSN Gubernur Feliks, waei kendan wameranne reyae melaeyaewale. Onomi foka raeisa, Klaudius Lisias! BSB BSB: Claudius Lysias, To His Excellency, Governor Felix: Greetings.
27 PBCSN Nda ro Yahudi ro miyae yae ikilaiboke, ebi fere bele riyau wainyeboube. Reyae borale neyae aei Roma yona yanna rone, nebeinye reyae raei felayo bele mekande hayaennekoke. BSB BSB: This man was seized by the Jews, and they were about to kill him when I came with my troops to rescue him. For I had learned that he is a Roman citizen,
28 PBCSN Rangkele isaeise roufelere rahene nare heiko-heiko kainye, reyae Yahudi naei yoyo koseyo bere yaweungehokale ekende. BSB BSB: and since I wanted to understand their charges against him, I brought him down to their Sanhedrin.
29 PBCSN Rahe aerene kawane hebendere nane merau honaibondere reyae hinewale baewale ehubayeikoi mo. Naei wali heere foloukoke a koimeyate aerebe, Paulusre heiko-heiko kainyemeke. BSB BSB: I found that the accusation involved questions about their own law, but there was no charge worthy of death or imprisonment.
30 PBCSN Fa mbai raei bokore meke isaei ikeufele, Yahudi ro hiwa merau rainyehike nare honaibonderene, reyae na hibi waei bokore yae ukamaele yawainyehoke ate. Nare ahunainye yore ukamaele waei bokore enate nda aku hate kolonnele. BSB BSB: When I was informed that there was a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once. I also instructed his accusers to present their case against him before you.
31 PBCSN Nebei fela yun naei ukeumi a huluinye na hibi mokowate. Paulusre nebei reniai mo yawainyehoke ekate Antipatris yone. BSB BSB: So the soldiers followed their orders and brought Paul by night to Antipatris.
32 PBCSN Ya heuboke bae, kuda ranna yore naimihike Paulus naei ewate, nebeibe hiwa yobe bukaibokate. BSB BSB: The next day they returned to the barracks and let the horsemen go on with him.
34 PBCSN Gubernur nebei homo koukoke baeufoke mo, Paulusre hinewounge neyae naei sele makeinya ro. Isaeyeuboke Paulus Kilikia kanina rone, BSB BSB: The governor read the letter and asked what province Paul was from. Learning that he was from Cilicia,
35 PBCSN Gubernur yae weunge, “Foi, ware ahunayete yo ndare menate hee wa, reyae ware a hinereikote.” Nebeinye ukeumi Paulusre Herodesle obe foinye kayaa yae hebenainyele. BSB BSB: he said, “I will hear your case when your accusers arrive.” Then he ordered that Paul be kept under guard in Herod’s Praetorium.
