< Acts 26 >

1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:

Agrippa'n Paul kôma, “Ni dikna thurchi misîr thei rangin phal ni nih,” a tipea. Paul'n a kut a phara a dikna thurchi, hi anghin a misîra:

2 “King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today to defend myself against all the accusations of the Jews,

“Rêng Agrippa! Judangei min nônna murdia ki dikna thurchi avien hin no kôm ki misîr rang sikin asân ka râlvân asa okin ki riet,

3 especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. I beg you, therefore, to listen to me patiently.

mahin, Judangei balam le ânjêlna omngei murdi ni riet minthâr sikin rangâihoitakin ko chong hi ni lei rangâi pe rangin nang ko hong ngên ani.

4 Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.

“Judangei murdi'n nâipang ka chang lâia ko omlam le ku nunchan, motona kin rama, masuole Jerusalema khom an rêngin an riet.

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.

An misîr nuom ngânin chu, ku thurchi hi aphut renga an riet let, ei sakhuo tienga pâl inngartak Pharisee ngei lâia ke lei omngei hah.

6 And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,

Male atûn ei richibulngei kôm Pathien chong a lei khâmsai hah sabeina sikin hima mun hin kên ding ani.

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.

Ma chonginkhâm sika han ei jât sômleinik ngeiin sûn le jânin Pathien chubai an lei mûk ngâi ani, male ma sabeina sika han Pumapa, hima sikin kêng Judangei hin min nôn ani.

8 Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?

Pathien'n mithi a kaithoi ngei thei ani, tiin hi taka omngei hin ithomo nin iem theiloi?

9 So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

“Keima nanâk khom hih Nazareth Jisua riming doiin neinunngei murdi tho ngâi ke lei ni.

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.

Maha Jerusalema ke lei tho ngâi. Ochaisingei renga rachamneina ngei ka mana, male Pathien mingei tamtak intângna ina ke lei khum ngâi; male that rang an ti zora khomin, asa ke lei ti pui ngei ngâi.

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.

Synagogngeia khom voi tamtak dûk ke lei mintong ngei ngâi, an taksônna ngei min mâk rangin ke lei pût ngâia, ka takasi rei sikin ram dang khopuilienngei khom ku nunuom lo rangin ke se ngâi.

12 In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.

“Ma rang sik piel han ochaisingei renga rachamneina le phalna chôiin Damascus khuoa ke sea.

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.

Pu Mirit-omtak, lampuia ke se lâitak sûnchimripa, O Rêngpa, invân renga juong vâr, nisa nêka vâr uol hah, keima le ka champuingei revêla hin ajuong êl ku mua.

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.’

Kin rêngin nuoia kin inleta, male Hebrew chongin ‘Saul, Saul! ithomo nangman nu nunuom mini loa? Nangmananâk kêng nang minna rang, serâtchalin a pumapa tôkmola doiin athâi anghan’ kêng ani rang.

15 ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.

Keiman, ‘Puma tumo ni ni?’ tiin ke rekela, male Pumapa han, ‘Keima hih Jisua, dûk ni mintong bângpu hah ki ni, tiin a thuona.

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.

Aniatachu, inthoi inla ne ke leh inding roh, ki sinthopua nang phun rangin no kôm ku juong inlâr ani. Avien sûna keima renga nu mu ngei le sûnmoton tienga nang ki min mu rang ngei murdi hi midangngei khom ril roh.

17 I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them

Israelngei le Jentailngei renga nang kêlsuo ki tih, nang ki tîrna rang ngei kôm renga.

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.’

An mitngei minvâr pe ngei na ta, hanchu ijîng renga avâr tieng hong inhei an ta, soitan kut renga Pathien tieng hong inhei an tih, masikin ku chunga taksônna an dôn sika an sietnangei ngâidam an changna rang le Pathien mi thang ngei lâia mun an manna rangin.’ a tia.

19 So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.

“Male, Rêng Agrippa, invân renga inlârna ku mu jômloiin tho mu-ung.

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.

Motontaka Damascus sûnga male Jerusalem sûnga male chu Judea ram murdi le Jentailngei lâia khom, an sietnangei renga insîrin, male Pathien tieng an nin hei zoi ti riet theina rangin thurchi ki misîr pe ngâi ani.

21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.

Masik taka han hi Judangei Biekin sûnga ko om han min sûra, male ma that rang an pût ani.

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:

Aniatachu avien sûnten hin Pathien'n ni sana, male mi chîn le mi lien ngei kôm indingin rietpuipu nina hih nin rêngin nin kôm ka la misîr thei ani, ki ti ngâi ngei chu, Moses le dêipungeiin la juong tung atih, an ti bang ngâi hah ani:

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.”

Messiah han dûktong ngêt a ta, male thina renga inthoinôk masatak nîng atih, Sanminringna vâr thurchi Judangei le Jentialngei kôm muphuong atih,” a tia.

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!”

Ma anghan, Paul'n a dikna thurchi a misîr lâitakin, Festus hah a hong hêtsana, “Paul, na châng ke ani zoi! nên chu mintam rei sikin na châng zoi!” a tia.

25 But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.

Paul'n, châng mu-ung, Festus mirit omtak hangvangin adiktak ki misîr ani.

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.

Rêng Agrippa! hâitakin no kôm ko chong thei, hi neinunngei chungroi hih ni riet sikin, hi thurchi hih inkila tho nimaka a kôm hin ite ip rang ommak ti ki riet mindik ani.

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

“Rêng Agrippa dêipungei ni iem mo? ni iem ti ki riet ani!”

28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”

Agrippa han Paul kôm, ma zora bongte sûng hin Khristien mi min chang rang no bôk mini? a tia.

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.”

Paul'n, “zora bongtên mo, aseiin mo, nangma vai nang ti mu unga, avien sûna ko chong rangâi ngei murdi hih keima anga om rangin Pathien kôm ke ngên bang ngâi hi zingjirûi hi chu bun uol loi rangin!” tiin athuona.

30 Then the king and the governor rose, along with Bernice and those seated with them.

Hanchu Rêng, le Râiôt, le Bernice, le adangngei murdi an inthoi leta,

31 On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”

Male an mâk suole anni le anni a nin tia, “Hima miriem hin a thina rang dôra le intângna ina khum rang dôra minchâina dôn mak.”

32 And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

Male Agrippa han Festus kôm, “Hi miriem hin Caesar kôm tung rangin lei inzong no rese chu, ma reng hin mojôk thei rang piel ani,” a tia.
