1panch din ke bad hananyah mahayajak kai puraniyon aur tiratullus nam kisee vakeel ko sath lekar aya unhon ne hakim ke samhane paulus par nalish kee.
2jab vah bulaya gaya to tiratullus un par dosh lagakar kahane laga, ki, he mahapratapee faeliks, tere dara hamen jo bada kushal hota haai aur tere prabandha se is jati ke liye kitanee buraiyan sudharatee jatee haain.
3is ko ham har jagah aur har prakar se dhanyavad ke sath manate haain.
4parantu isaaliye ki tujhe aur dukh naheen dena chahata, maain tujh se binatee karata hoo, ki krapa karake hamaree do aek baten sun le.
5kyonaki ham ne is manushy ko upadravee aur jagat ke sare yahoodiyon men balava karanevala, aur nasariyon ke kupanth ka muakhaiya paya haai.
6us ne maandair ko ashuuddh karana chaha, aur ham ne use pakada.
7in sab baton ko jin ke vishay men ham us par dosh lagate haai, too apahee us ko janch karake jan lega.
8yahoodiyon ne bhee usaka sath dekar kaha, ye baten isee prakar kee haain..
9jab haakim ne paulus ko bolane ke liye saain kiya to us ne uttr diya, maain yah janakar ki too bahut vasharen se is jaati ka nyay karata haai, anand se apana pratyuttr deta hoon.
10too ap jan sakata haai, ki jab se maain yarooshalem men bhjan karane ko aya, mujhe barah din se upar naheen hue.
11aur unhon ne mujhe n maandair men n sabha ke gharon me, n nagar men kisee se vivad karate ya bheed lagate paya.
12aur n to ve un baton ko, jin ka ve ab mujh par dosh lagate haai, tere samhane sach tthara sakate haain.
13parantu yah maain tere samhane sach tthara sakate haain.
14parantu yah maain tere samhane man leta hoo, ki jis panth ko ve kupanth kahate haai, usee kee reeati par maain apane bapadadon ke parameshvar kee seva karata hoon: aur jo baten vyavastha aur bhvishyadvktaon kee pustakon men likhee haai, un sab kee prateeati karata hoon.
15aur parameshvar se asha rakhta hoon jo ve ap bhee rakhte haai, ki dharmee aur adharmee donon ka jee uttna hoga.
16is se maain ap bhee yatan karata hoo, ki parameshvar kee, aur manushyon kee or mera vivek sada nirdosh rahe.
17bahut vasharen ke bad maain apane logon ko dan pahunchane, aur bhentt chaddhane aya tha.
18unhon ne mujhe mandair me, shuuddh dasha men bina bheed ke sat, aur bina danga karate huae is kam men paya - han asiya ke kai yahoodee the - un ko uchit tha,
19ki yadi mere virodha men un kee koi bat ho to yahan tere samhane akar mujh par dosh lagate.
20ya ye ap hee kahe, ki jab maain mahasabha ke samhane khda tha, to unhon ne mujh se kaun sa aparadha paya?
21is aek bat ko chhod jo maain ne un ke beech men khde hokar pukarakar kaha tha, ki mare huon ke jee uttne ke vishay men aj mera tumhare samhane mukama ho raha haai..
22faeliks ne jo is panth kee baten tteek tteek janata tha, unhen yah kahakar ttal diya, ki jab palattn ka saradar loosiyas aaega, to tumharee bat ka nirny karoonga.
23aur soobedar ko agyaa dee, ki paulus ko sukh se rakhkar rakhvalee karana, aur usake mitraen men se kisee ko bhee us kee seva karane se n rokana..
24kitane dinon ke bad faeliks apanee patnee drausilla ko, jo yahoodinee thee, sath lekar aya aur paulus ko bulavakar us vishvas ke vishay men je maseeh yeeshu par haai, us se suna.
25aur jab vah dharma aur sanyam aur anevale nyay kee charcha karata tha, to faeliks ne bhyaman hokar uttr diya, ki abhee to ja: avasar pakar maain tujhe fir bulaunga.
26use paulus se kuchh roopaye milane kee bhee as thee isaaliye aur bhee bula bulakar us se baten kiya karata tha.
