Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:
Agrip' P'awlossh, «N took jangosh keewundek'etuok'o taaro neesh imere» bíet, Pawlosuwere b́kisho jargdek't hank'o ett keewut aani b́dek'i.
2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today to defend myself against all the accusations of the Jews,
«Nugúso Agrip'o! Ayhudiwots taan bos'aamits keewujamosh hambets nshinatse keewur aani tdek'or ayiniye t geneúwiri.
3 especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. I beg you, therefore, to listen to me patiently.
Bítsnowere nee ayhudiwots niwonat moosh jamo t'iwintsdek'at danfnee, mansh k'amoon taan nk'ebetuwok'o neen k'onirwe.
4 Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.
«Na'ortson tuwat awuk'o t beetsok'owo ayhudiwots danfnee, shintson tuwat tiash ashi dagotsnat Iyerusalemitse t be beyo danfnee.
5 They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the strictest sect of our religion.
Ando aani gawo bogeyiyal no haymanotiwotse kup'idek'at nonemo kotiru kayuwotsitse ferisawi wotat tbewok'owo shintson detst danfnee.
6 And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,
Andmó angshosh hanok tneed'ir Ik'o nonihotssh taart b́ imts b́ jangiitsoshee.
7 the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to realize as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the Jews.
Jangiyetsanok bodosh no jir tatse gituwots Ik'o t'uwe aawo Ik'ifetstni bokotfo, Nugúsono! taawor ayhudiwotsn taan bos'aamits jangiyetsan jangatsne.
8 Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?
Ik'o k'irtswotsi b́tuuzitwok'o eegoshe itoke amano maawek b́woti?
9 So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
«Taa t tookish Nazrettso Iyesus shútso tfaltsok'on k'efo taash geyife etaat asaabefe b́teshi.
10 And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.
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.
11 I frequently had them punished in the synagogues, and I tried to make them blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.
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.
12 In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
«Han jangosho kahni naash jamwotsoke alonat tzaziyo dek'at Demask'o maants tí amifere tteshi.
13 About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.
Nugúsono! weeratse t befere aawu taalon aawu sháánoniyere bogo sháánts shááno tbek'i, sháánanuwere tiyatso taanton sha'irwots gúúratso darotse sháániyi b́k'ri.
14 We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
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.
15 ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.
Taawere ‹Doonzono! nee kone?› tieti, doozonuwere, taash hank'o bíeti, ‹Taa nee ngishiruwo Iyesus taane.
16 ‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.
Andmó tuur n tufoon need'owe, taa neesh tbe'eyiye and taan nbek'tsannat shino maants neesh tbe'et keewosh gútsonat gawo nwotitsh tgetsotsne.
17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them
Israe'el ash ashuwotsnat bo maants neen twoshit Ik' danawu ashuwots kishotse neen farituwe.
18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’
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.›
19 So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
«Eshe nugúso Agrip'o! daaratse taash imets bek'osh k'aztso woteratse.
20 First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to everyone in the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds worthy of their repentance.
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.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.
Han jangosh ayhudiyots Ik'i mootse t befere taan detsdek't úd'osh boeti.
22 But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:
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.
23 that the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”
Bowere bokeewu ‹Mesihiyo gond bek'o dek'etuwe, k'irotse tuwonowere shintso wotar kashi sháánono Israe'el ashuwotsnat Ik'i ash woterawwotsnsh kitsituwe› ettniye.»
24 At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”
P'awlos man keewoke b́befere Fist'os «P'awloso! ando geewutsernee, ay ndano neen geyomants betsk'rere!» ett kuhat b́keewi.
25 But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.
P'awlosmó hank'o ett bíaniyi, «Ayidek' shiimetso Fist'oso! arikonat kaawu keewoni tkeewiri bako geeyaliye tgeyi.
26 For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.
B́ shinatse keewan tkeewiru nugúso keewan danfee. Hanwere ashon k'alerawo b́wottsotse nugúso b́dantsok'owo danfee.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
Nugúso Agrip'o! nebiyiwotsi amanirunosha? Ni'amaniruwok'o danfee.»
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”
Agrip'were P'awlossh, «Nee k'awun sa'atanitse taan krstiyani woshk'rishale» bí eti.
29 “Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”
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.
30 Then the king and the governor rose, along with Bernice and those seated with them.
Haniyere hakon nugúso, altsonat Bernik'ewu bonton bedek't teshts ash jamwots k'az botuwi.
31 On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”
Manoke kesht boamferowe, «Ashaan k'irosh wee tipewosh bín betsituwo eegoru k'alratse» boeti.
32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Agrip'were Fist'ossh, «Ashaan Rom nugúsoke tkeewo taash s'iilewe eto b́ k'azink'ere hank'on fakshk'ryank'e» bí eti.
