Acts 22
1 Brethren and fathers, hear my defence which I now make to you.
Anu henu nan ankaco, rikani ti toi ikunna ubura um u aye a hira a shime aname.
2 And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says,
Sa ni ori na nabo wakunna tize ti bulus ini hem na ibraniyawa wadusa watatonno tek, magu.
3 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to [the] exactness of the law of [our] fathers, being zealous for God, as ye are all this day;
Me ubayahude mani uwatu usamirika anabo ini ikiliya, anyimo amanyanga mu gamaliyal a pokum aje ni, a kuri abezizi abinime kang inu gunno itarsi una u inko utize ta cokoro aro, izin nu inko iriba atize ta Asere kasi shime sa izin tini.
4 who have persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women;
Ma mensi anabo in husi ma kuri in tirzi ahana aruma nan na a ēh in han we ati gomo a tuburko we udenge unirere.
5 as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished.
Anime ani unu udang ukayuma ka Asere na nu wadi nya u inpo amaro inu guna ma kabi nikara nitize tu inko u watu ushi barki ni henu sa wa rani damascu, barki idusa abirko, katuma kam kani i tarsi adesa wa tarsa una ugino me, i en we anyimo urshalima barki a tarsi we.
6 And it came to pass, as I was journeying and drawing near to Damascus, that, about mid-day, there suddenly shone out of heaven a great light round about me.
Uganiya mara anyimo atanu, inkuri in ha ma mu nan damascu, inu wui ace uganiya u inde masaa madangdang usuro Asere u pokino ma ketum.
7 And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
In rizi adizii uganiya madusa ma kunna ni gmyirang ni gusa me, 'shawulu, shawulu, barki nyanini yawuna uzin nu kunna um iwono?'
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom thou persecutest.
In babirikame, 'aveni hu ugomo Asere?' magun me, 'immani Yeso ubanazarat unigesa uzin nu nya ume uzito ugino me.'
9 But they that were with me beheld the light, [and were filled with fear], but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me.
Anuge besa wazi nigo nan me wa iri masaa me, idaki warosi niggmyirang na veni mazin tize me ba.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do.
Ma gu, 'nyanini indi wuzi hu ugomo Asere?' Ugomo Asere magume, 'magu me ihire idusa anyimo damascu, abini me ani adi boki we imum ikadure sa udi wuzi.
11 And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus.
Idaki iri ahira me ba barki umilme u masa, idusa anyimo damascu u watu u tarsa andebesa wazi ni go nan me.
12 And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt [there],
Abirko me ani ma kem uye unaniz ni ananiya, una biyyau ba Asere ahira u inko utize, tini kobbo nanni zani rere aje ayahudawa as wa ciki abirko me.
13 coming to me and standing by me, said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And I, in the same hour, received my sight and saw him.
Ma eh ahira am magu, ni henu shawulu, kaba uhira unipen, rep na nu ganiya ginu me iri me.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;
Uganiya magu, 'Asere aka co uro sa mazauka we inu gunna urosi imumbe sa me ma nyara wa ira unu iriba ishew iginome, kunna tize tige besa ti suso anyo ameme.
15 for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Udi cukuno unu impo amaru ame barki timumum sa wa ira nan ti gebe sa wa kunna tini.
16 And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.
Aname nyanini uzin nu nyargame? hira azoro we akuri akpici we madini ma we me, unu tisa anyimo aniza nu meme.
17 And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy,
Uganiya sa ma kuri urushalima uganiya mazin im birigara anyimo udenge me ina makabi tiro.
18 and saw him saying to me, Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Ma irime magun me, 'wuza dibe-dibe u ceki urushalima a-a na me, barki wada kaba me u impo amaru imumbe sa udi boki ini ahira am ba.
19 And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue those that believe on thee;
Uganiya sa azin nu kponko umaye munu impo amaru aweme istifanus, maturi izin nu impo amaru, in kuri in hiri tironga ta desa wa hume.
20 and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also myself was standing by and consenting, and kept the clothes of them who killed him.
Magu, 'ugomo Asere, we ina ce awe warusa uwuna sa ma wuweni udenge uni rere in kuri intiri aye desa wa nya muruba muwe sa wa kabi we atidenge ti biringara.
21 And he said to me, Go, for I will send thee to the nations afar off.
Manno magu me, 'dusa, barki idi tumu we abirko ahira anu amaree.
22 And they heard him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a one as that from the earth, for it was not fit he should live.
Anabu wa ceki me ma wuzi tize nan nu hana uganiya, barki anime wa dusa wa yeze agmyinrang wazi nu gusa na kari kunu kuginu me, anyimo unee, daki ya wuna urii acekime makese ba.
23 And as they were crying, and throwing away their clothes, and casting dust into the air,
Uganiya sa wazin nu yeze agmyinrang wa vingizi tironga tu we wa hirziza usuru u pebu.
24 the chiliarch commanded him to be brought into the fortress, saying that he should be examined by scourging, that he might ascertain for what cause they cried thus against him.
Unu udandang uma soja ma nya nikara ahamme in bulus ahira sa ma cikin, madusa ma nya magu a ikime a gunguzunu me in ni sisari barki wa rosi imum sa ya wuna izin me iti hunu ishina.
25 But as they stretched him forward with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood [by], Is it lawful for you to scourge a man [who is] a Roman and uncondemned?
Uganiya sa w tirzi me ini sere, bulus magu ana dandang me sa wazi mamu nan me, ''nani ya wuna anime e wuna inko utize awu u barome a wuzi me tize tu inko a hume sarki ucoboo?''
26 And the centurion, having heard it, went and reported it to the chiliarch, saying, What art thou going to do? for this man is a Roman.
Sa una je ma kunna anime ma ha ahira unu udandang nyanini n nyara u wuzi, ''unu uginu me una nu roma mani.''
27 And the chiliarch coming up said to him, Tell me, Art thou a Roman? And he said, Yes.
Unu udandang uma soja ma ē magu me, ''bukam hu una nu roma mani?'' bulus magu, ''anime ani.''
28 And the chiliarch answered, I, for a great sum, bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was also [free] born.
Unu udandang uma soja makabrika me, ''adi kpi ucukuno vana umanyanga ini ikirfi igbardang.'' ine ini bulus magu, ''aymo uma manyanga mu roma.''
29 Immediately therefore those who were going to examine him left him, and the chiliarch also was afraid when he ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Aye wa ē ugizo ume wa dusa wa ceki me daki wade ba, unu udandang uma soja ma kunna biyyau sa ma tinka unu gunna bulus u yoo wanu roma uni, sa mamu tirza me.
30 And on the morrow, desirous to know the certainty [of the matter] why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and having brought Paul down set him before them.
Sa ahira asana, unu dandang uma soja me ma nyari marusi kadure kimum be sa ya wu awuzi anime ayahudawa wa wuzi anice ni bulus. Ma dusa ma soppi me anyimo tisere me, ma kuri ma nya unu dandang ukatuma kadandang ka Asere nan na nu ira wa gurna ma dusa ma en bulus atii aweme.
