Woshetswotsi 26
1 Agrip' P'awlossh, «N took jangosh keewundek'etuok'o taaro neesh imere» bíet, Pawlosuwere b́kisho jargdek't hank'o ett keewut aani b́dek'i.
And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul, having stretched forth his hand, made a defense.
2 «Nugúso Agrip'o! Ayhudiwots taan bos'aamits keewujamosh hambets nshinatse keewur aani tdek'or ayiniye t geneúwiri.
Concerning all things of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I consider myself blessed, being about to make my defense before thee today.
3 Bítsnowere nee ayhudiwots niwonat moosh jamo t'iwintsdek'at danfnee, mansh k'amoon taan nk'ebetuwok'o neen k'onirwe.
Especially thee, being an expert of all things regarding Jews, both habits and issues. Therefore I beg thee to hear me patiently.
4 «Na'ortson tuwat awuk'o t beetsok'owo ayhudiwots danfnee, shintson tuwat tiash ashi dagotsnat Iyerusalemitse t be beyo danfnee.
Indeed therefore, my manner of life from youth, having developed from the beginning among my nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know,
5 Ando aani gawo bogeyiyal no haymanotiwotse kup'idek'at nonemo kotiru kayuwotsitse ferisawi wotat tbewok'owo shintson detst danfnee.
having known me previously from the beginning, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest party of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Andmó angshosh hanok tneed'ir Ik'o nonihotssh taart b́ imts b́ jangiitsoshee.
And now for the hope of the promise made by God to the fathers, I stand being judged,
7 Jangiyetsanok bodosh no jir tatse gituwots Ik'o t'uwe aawo Ik'ifetstni bokotfo, Nugúsono! taawor ayhudiwotsn taan bos'aamits jangiyetsan jangatsne.
to which our twelve tribes, serving in earnestness night and day, hope to attain, about which hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews!
8 Ik'o k'irtswotsi b́tuuzitwok'o eegoshe itoke amano maawek b́woti?
Why is it judged incredible with you, if God raises the dead?
9 «Taa t tookish Nazrettso Iyesus shútso tfaltsok'on k'efo taash geyife etaat asaabefe b́teshi.
Indeed therefore I thought it necessary for myself to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene,
10 Iyerusalemitse tk'altsonúwere haniye b́teshi, kahni naashuwotsoke t dek'ts alon amantsuwotsitse ayuwots tipimoots bokindituwok'o k'alre, boon boúd'orowere úd'iruwotsnton ik wotere.
which also I did at Jerusalem. And I locked up many of the sanctified in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests. And when they were killed, I gave a vote against them.
11 Ayoto ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni mootse boon jod'r doonzo boc'ashetuwok'o woshfee, boon ayide fayarnuwere k'osh úratsi kituwotsokor kesh amaat boon giishefe.
And punishing them often at all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being extraordinarily furious toward them, I persecuted them even as far as to outside cities.
12 «Han jangosho kahni naash jamwotsoke alonat tzaziyo dek'at Demask'o maants tí amifere tteshi.
And during which, while going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
13 Nugúsono! weeratse t befere aawu taalon aawu sháánoniyere bogo sháánts shááno tbek'i, sháánanuwere tiyatso taanton sha'irwots gúúratso darotse sháániyi b́k'ri.
at midday, O king, I saw on the road a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, which shone around me and those who went with me.
14 Noúnetswere datsats dih s'uwat nobefere ayhudiwots noon keewu keewon ‹Sawul! Sawulo! eegishe taan ngishiri? Shiki shashats nned'iyal neesh b́ gonditi!› etiru k'ááro tshishi.
And when we all fell to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
15 Taawere ‹Doonzono! nee kone?› tieti, doozonuwere, taash hank'o bíeti, ‹Taa nee ngishiruwo Iyesus taane.
And I said, Who are thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
16 Andmó tuur n tufoon need'owe, taa neesh tbe'eyiye and taan nbek'tsannat shino maants neesh tbe'et keewosh gútsonat gawo nwotitsh tgetsotsne.
But arise, and stand upon thy feet, for I appeared to thee for this, to appoint thee an assistant and a witness both of things that thou saw, and of the things that I will make visible to thee,
17 Israe'el ash ashuwotsnat bo maants neen twoshit Ik' danawu ashuwots kishotse neen farituwe.
delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send thee,
18 Bo aawo n k'eshituwok'onat t'aluwotse shááno maants nkishituwok'o Shed'anosh keeweewotsno Ik'o maants ni aanituwok'o woshituwe, boowere taan bo amantsi jangon bo morrosh orowa eto daatsitune, galdek'etsuwotsnton ritstiyo kaydek'etune.›
to open their eyes to turn about from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, for them to receive remission of sins and a lot among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.
19 «Eshe nugúso Agrip'o! daaratse taash imets bek'osh k'aztso woteratse.
Whereupon, King Agrippa, I did not become disobedient to the heavenly vision,
20 Ernmó shino Demask'on fa'a ashuwotsi, maants dabat Iyerusalemnat Yhud dats jamatse, Ik' danawu ashuwotsi naandrone err Ik'o maants bo aanituwok'o tdaniyi, naandrone boettsok'ono kitsit fino bo finituwok'o boon tdani.
but declaring first to those at Damascus and then at Jerusalem, and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, to repent and return to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21 Han jangosh ayhudiyots Ik'i mootse t befere taan detsdek't úd'osh boeti.
Because of these things the Jews, having seized me in the temple, tried to grasp and kill me.
22 Hambetsish b́borfetsosh Ik' tep'o tiyatse k'aleratse, manshe múk'osho enosho gawefetsat hanoke ned'iruwe, nebiyiwotsnat Musen shino hank'o wotituwe boetts keewo keewoniyere okoon k'osho eegoru keewuratse.
Having therefore experienced the help from God, I stand to this day solemnly declaring both to small and great, saying nothing apart from what both the prophets and Moses said was going to happen,
23 Bowere bokeewu ‹Mesihiyo gond bek'o dek'etuwe, k'irotse tuwonowere shintso wotar kashi sháánono Israe'el ashuwotsnat Ik'i ash woterawwotsnsh kitsituwe› ettniye.»
that the suffering Christ, since first from a resurrection of the dead, is going to proclaim light to our people and to the nations.
24 P'awlos man keewoke b́befere Fist'os «P'awloso! ando geewutsernee, ay ndano neen geyomants betsk'rere!» ett kuhat b́keewi.
And while he made a defense by these things, Festus said in a loud voice, Paul, thou are mad. Much scholarship is driving thee into madness.
25 P'awlosmó hank'o ett bíaniyi, «Ayidek' shiimetso Fist'oso! arikonat kaawu keewoni tkeewiri bako geeyaliye tgeyi.
But Paul says, I am not mad, eminent Festus, but I speak forth sayings of truth and soberness.
26 B́ shinatse keewan tkeewiru nugúso keewan danfee. Hanwere ashon k'alerawo b́wottsotse nugúso b́dantsok'owo danfee.
For the king knows about these things, before whom I also speak boldly. For I am convinced not any of these things, nothing, to be hidden from him. For this was not done in a corner.
27 Nugúso Agrip'o! nebiyiwotsi amanirunosha? Ni'amaniruwok'o danfee.»
King Agrippa, do thou believe the prophets? I know that thou believe.
28 Agrip'were P'awlossh, «Nee k'awun sa'atanitse taan krstiyani woshk'rishale» bí eti.
And Agrippa said to Paul, By a little thou persuade me to become a Christian.
29 P'awloswere, «K'awun gizewotse wotowa geenz gizewotse n s'uzi b́woterawon hamnbets tkeewuts keewo shishts jamo t tipeyaniyere okoon taank'o bowotish Ik'o k'oniruwe!» bí eti.
And Paul said, I ever pray to God, both by little and by much, not only thee, but also all who hear me this day, to become such kind as I also am, apart from these bonds.
30 Haniyere hakon nugúso, altsonat Bernik'ewu bonton bedek't teshts ash jamwots k'az botuwi.
And when he spoke these things, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
31 Manoke kesht boamferowe, «Ashaan k'irosh wee tipewosh bín betsituwo eegoru k'alratse» boeti.
And having withdrawn, they spoke to each other, saying, This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Agrip'were Fist'ossh, «Ashaan Rom nugúsoke tkeewo taash s'iilewe eto b́ k'azink'ere hank'on fakshk'ryank'e» bí eti.
And Agrippa said to Festus, This man could have been released, if he had not appealed Caesar.
