Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
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 I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by 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 as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear 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 And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
“Judangei murdi'n nâipang ka chang lâia ko omlam le ku nunchan, motona kin rama, masuole Jerusalema khom an rêngin an riet.
5 Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
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 for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
Male atûn ei richibulngei kôm Pathien chong a lei khâmsai hah sabeina sikin hima mun hin kên ding ani.
7 Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, 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 should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
Pathien'n mithi a kaithoi ngei thei ani, tiin hi taka omngei hin ithomo nin iem theiloi?
9 And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Keima nanâk khom hih Nazareth Jisua riming doiin neinunngei murdi tho ngâi ke lei ni.
10 Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.
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 And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
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 Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
“Ma rang sik piel han ochaisingei renga rachamneina le phalna chôiin Damascus khuoa ke sea.
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.
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 And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
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 And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
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 rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,
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 Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
Israelngei le Jentailngei renga nang kêlsuo ki tih, nang ki tîrna rang ngei kôm renga.
18 To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is 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 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
“Male, Rêng Agrippa, invân renga inlârna ku mu jômloiin tho mu-ung.
20 But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
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 cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
Masik taka han hi Judangei Biekin sûnga ko om han min sûra, male ma that rang an pût ani.
22 But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:
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 Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the 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 As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.
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 And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
Paul'n, châng mu-ung, Festus mirit omtak hangvangin adiktak ki misîr ani.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things 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 Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
“Rêng Agrippa dêipungei ni iem mo? ni iem ti ki riet ani!”
28 And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
Agrippa han Paul kôm, ma zora bongte sûng hin Khristien mi min chang rang no bôk mini? a tia.
29 And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.
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 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
Hanchu Rêng, le Râiôt, le Bernice, le adangngei murdi an inthoi leta,
31 And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
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 might have been set at liberty, 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.
