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 unto Paul, 'It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;' then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence:
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 Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day,
3 Bítsnowere nee ayhudiwots niwonat moosh jamo t'iwintsdek'at danfnee, mansh k'amoon taan nk'ebetuwok'o neen k'onirwe.
especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things — both customs and questions — among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me.
4 «Na'ortson tuwat awuk'o t beetsok'owo ayhudiwots danfnee, shintson tuwat tiash ashi dagotsnat Iyerusalemitse t be beyo danfnee.
'The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth — which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem — know do all the Jews,
5 Ando aani gawo bogeyiyal no haymanotiwotse kup'idek'at nonemo kotiru kayuwotsitse ferisawi wotat tbewok'owo shintson detst danfnee.
knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify, ) that after the most exact sect of our worship, 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 to the fathers by God, I have stood 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, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;
8 Ik'o k'irtswotsi b́tuuzitwok'o eegoshe itoke amano maawek b́woti?
why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
9 «Taa t tookish Nazrettso Iyesus shútso tfaltsok'on k'efo taash geyife etaat asaabefe b́teshi.
'I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved [me] many things to do,
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 in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my 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 in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining [them] to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting [them] even unto strange cities.
12 «Han jangosho kahni naash jamwotsoke alonat tzaziyo dek'at Demask'o maants tí amifere tteshi.
'In which things, also, going on to Damascus — with authority and commission from 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 mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light — and those going on 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 we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick!
15 Taawere ‹Doonzono! nee kone?› tieti, doozonuwere, taash hank'o bíeti, ‹Taa nee ngishiruwo Iyesus taane.
'And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost 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 rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things [in which] I will appear to thee,
17 Israe'el ash ashuwotsnat bo maants neen twoshit Ik' danawu ashuwots kishotse neen farituwe.
delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now 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 [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that [is] toward me.
19 «Eshe nugúso Agrip'o! daaratse taash imets bek'osh k'aztso woteratse.
'Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not 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 to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;
21 Han jangosh ayhudiyots Ik'i mootse t befere taan detsdek't úd'osh boeti.
because of these things the Jews — having caught me in the temple — were endeavouring to 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 obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,
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 Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the 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, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, 'Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;'
25 P'awlosmó hank'o ett bíaniyi, «Ayidek' shiimetso Fist'oso! arikonat kaawu keewoni tkeewiri bako geeyaliye tgeyi.
and he saith, 'I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth;
26 B́ shinatse keewan tkeewiru nugúso keewan danfee. Hanwere ashon k'alerawo b́wottsotse nugúso b́dantsok'owo danfee.
for the king doth know concerning these things, before whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been done in a corner;
27 Nugúso Agrip'o! nebiyiwotsi amanirunosha? Ni'amaniruwok'o danfee.»
thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!'
28 Agrip'were P'awlossh, «Nee k'awun sa'atanitse taan krstiyani woshk'rishale» bí eti.
And Agrippa said unto Paul, 'In a little thou dost 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 would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am — except these bonds.'
30 Haniyere hakon nugúso, altsonat Bernik'ewu bonton bedek't teshts ash jamwots k'az botuwi.
And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them,
31 Manoke kesht boamferowe, «Ashaan k'irosh wee tipewosh bín betsituwo eegoru k'alratse» boeti.
and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another, saying — 'This man doth 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 might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.'
