< Acts 26 >
1 Then Agrippa sayd vnto Paul, Thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himselfe.
Agrippa woro in Bulu ku, “Uwasa usu uliru nin litife” Bulus nakpa ucara me asu uliru nkussu litime.
2 I thinke my selfe happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answere this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Iewes.
“In yira liti ning unan ayi abo, ugo Agrippa, nsu uliru nighe nbunfe kimone nbelleng nimon ile ena a Yhudawa na belin liti ning;
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
bara fe unan yiraari kitine vat ntanda na Yahudawa nin tiru mine. Ndin tiru fi nworo ulanzai nin nayi ashau.
4 As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes,
Kidegere, a Yahudawa vat yiru imusun lissosin longo na nna su a in yita kwanyana nmin nighe nin Ushalima.
5 Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise.
Innung yiru ucizunighe tutung ucaun inin yinin nworu meng ku farisawari, alenge na idin kpilizu imon hem ba.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Nene in yissing kikane bara ndin piziru nciu nliru ulenge na kutelle wa ni acifi bite.
7 Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.
Bara nanere akura nnonon Israila na su Kutelle katwa kitik nin lirin nan nya kidegen, arik ani nceo ayi ti duru kite bara ule uciu nayere a Yahudawa nvuroyi, Ugo!
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Iyaghari nta idin yenju uma konu Kutelle fya anan kul?
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
Nkon kubi asa nkpilza nsu imon gambalang gbardang kitene lissan Yesu Nnazareth.
10 Which thing I also did in Hierusalem: for many of the Saints I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie of the hie Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my sentence.
Nna su in Urshalima; nwa yaccu anan katwa kacine kilari licin gbardang, nwa seru likara nsu nani kiti ndya na priest iwa molusu nani, asa mere yinna isu nani.
11 And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, euen vnto strange cities.
Ina tizu nani ineo kang nan nya nilari nlira mine nkuru ntiza nani izoguzu Kutelle. Nwa yita nin tinana nayi nin ghinu kang ndortu nani uduzu mmin das.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
Na nwa din su nani, Nwa do Udamaska nin yinnu a likara ngo na priest;
13 At midday, O King, I sawe in the way a light from heauen, passing the brightnes of the sunne, shine round about mee, and them which went with me.
libowe ucin due, nin wui gberere, Ugo, in yene imon nkanan unuzu kitene Kutelle mida mala kiti bite vat umunu alenge na iwa din cin ligowe nan mi.
14 So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voyce speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
na vat bite ndeo kutyen, nlanza liwui nin ti Ibrananci din liru nin mi, 'Shawulu, Shawulu, iyaghari nta udin tizui nneo? Uwa konui men nari.'
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Ntunna nworo, fe ghari, Cikilaria? Cikilare kawa, ' men Yesu ule na udin funu ghe.
16 But rise and stand vp on thy feete: for I haue appeared vnto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witnesse, both of the things which thou hast seene, and of the things in the which I will appeare vnto thee,
Nene fita uyissin nin nabunu fe; bara ile imonere ndurso liti nighe kitife, nfere fi uso kucin a unan wazi nbell nimon ile na uyiru inin nin nen nin nimon ile na Mma dursu fi iwa dandaun;
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
mma tucu fi na cara nanite nin na wurme alenge na mma tuu fi ucindu kitimine;
18 To open their eyes, that they may turne from darknes to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by fayth in me.
udi pun iyizi mine uti nani ikpilin isun adu nsirti mine udak nan nya nkanang, nan nya likara nshaitan udak likara Kutelle, inan se ukussu nalapi kiti Kutelle, nin gadu ulenge na ina ni ceo nani nin liti nighe nan nya yinnu sa uyenu.'
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
Bara nani, Ugo Agrippa, Na nna dira uyinnu nin anabci Kutelle ba;
20 But shewed first vnto them of Damascus, and at Hierusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Iudea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turne to God, and doe workes worthy amendment of life.
amma, kiti na lenge na idin Damaska tukuna, nin na nan Urshalima, nin na lenge vat na idi nmin in Yhudiya, a ining awurmi, ndi wazi i sun alapi mine ikpilin kiti Kutelle, isu imon ile na ima dak nin sunu nalapi.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Bara ile imonere a Yahudawa na kifo nannya kilari nlira inani pizira imolui.
22 Neuertheles, I obteined helpe of God, and continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come,
Kutelle koni na buni udak nene, in yissin nbelin nbun na talaka nin nanit adidya na umong ubeleng ugan ba se ulenge na anan liru nin nuu Kutelle nin Musa na belin uma se;
23 To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light vnto this people, and to the Gentiles.
nworu Kristi ma niu gbas, tutng ama yitu unan burnun fitu nan nya nissek anin kuru a durso nkanang kiti na Yahudawa nin na wurmi.
24 And as he thus answered for himselfe, Festus said with a loude voyce, Paul, thou art besides thy selfe: much learning doeth make thee mad.
Na Bulus nmala ukusu litime, Fastos woro nin liwui gberere, “Bulus uta ilaza; uyiru udya fe nta fi ilaza.”
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Amma Bulus woro ghe, “Na ndi nin nilaza ba Fastos unit udya; amma nin nayi akone ndin su liru kidegen nin toltenu liti.
26 For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speake boldly: for I am perswaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was not done in a corner.
Bara Ugo yiru ubelleng nilenge imone, bara nani, ndi woas nsu nin ghe, bara meng yiru na imonmong nyeshin kiti me ba, bara na ina su ilenge imone likot ba.
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
Uyinna nin na annabawe, Ugo Agrippa? Ina yiru uyinna nin ghinu.”
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
Agrippa woro Bulus ku “nan nya kabiri bar uma kpiliu nso unan dortu Kutelle?”
29 Then Paul sayd, I would to God that not onely thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Bulus woro, “Ndi inlira kiti kutelle, sa nin kabiri bat sa nin kubiri gbardang, na fe usanfi ba, amma umunu alenge na idin lanzui kiti mone, iso nafo mewe, amma na nin ninyang kilari licin ba.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Ugowe tunna a fita ayissina, a udya mine nin Barniki wang fita umuni alenge na iwa sossin ligowe nan ghinu;
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
na isuna kudarua, itunna nliru nin nanit mine idin su, “Na unit ulele nati nkon kulapi kongo na ku batina ukul so utecu ba.”
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Agrippa woro Festus ku, “Iwa sunu unit ulele nda fo na afo acara kitin Kaisar ba.”
