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.
Paul te Agrippa loh, “Namah kawng na thui thai coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah Paul loh kut a yueng tih,
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.
“Manghai Agrippa, Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh kawng boeih dongah tihnin kah namah hmaiah huul uh ham ka cai he yoethen la ka poek.
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
Olpuei la Namah khaw Judah rhoek kah khosing neh oldawtnah boeih aka ming la na om. Ka ol he vawlhvawlh na hnatun ham kam bih.
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,
A tongcuek lamloh ka namtu taengah ka om tih Jerusalem ah ka camoe lamkah ka om ka ih khaw Judah rhoek loh boeih a ming uh.
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.
Bawknah khuiah kaimih kah buhlaelh he a cuep kahlik vanbangla Pharisee pakhat la ka hing te, phong sak ham ngaih uh cakhaw kai he m'ming uh hlaai coeng.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Tahae ah he Pathen loh a khueh olkhueh, a pa rhoek taengkah ngaiuepnah dongah ka pai nen ni lai n'tloek thil.
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.
Kamah pacaphung loh khoyin khothaih thahluenah neh a bawk tih pha hamla a ngaiuep. Manghai aw, te ngaiuepnah kawng dongah ni Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Pathen loh aka duek a thoh coeng atah ba dongah lae nangmih loh aka tangnahmueh bangla lai na tloek uh.
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
Kai kamah khaw Nazareth Jesuh ming te a kingkalh la muep saii thil ham a kuek tila kana poek thil van.
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.
Jerusalem ah khaw ka saii tih, khosoihham rhoek taengkah saithainah ka dang dongah hlangcim te yet te thongim ah kamah loh ka uup coeng. Amih aka ngawn rhoek kah lungcang khaw ka kuk coeng.
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.
Tunim takuem ah khaw amih te tholhphu ka paek taitu tih, soehsal ham khaw ka tanolh coeng. Te vaengah taoe ka angsai tih kho voel duela amih te ka hnaemtaek.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
Khosoihham rhoek kah saithainah, kotluepnah neh Damasku la ka cet.
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.
Manghai aw, longpuei kah khothun lung ah, vaan khomik kah a aa aka poe vangnah loh kamah neh ka taengkah aka cet hmaih rhoek te phuk n'tue te ka hmuh.
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.
Diklai la boeih ka bung uh vaengah ol pakhat ka yaak tih Hebrew ol la kai taengah, “Saul, Saul, ba ham lae kai nan hnaemtaek, suehling thuih ham te na mangkhak aih mai,” a ti.
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Te vaengah kamah loh u nang nim ca Boeipa,” ka ti nah. Te dongah Boeipa loh, 'Kai tah nang loh na hnaemtaek Jesuh ni.
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,
Tedae thoo lamtah namah kho dongah pai laeh. Kai taengla na moe tih nang taengla ka moe van vaengkah tueihyoeih neh laipai la nang coelh ham ni nang taengah ka phoe.
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
Pilnam neh namtom kut lamkah nang aka hlawt, kamah long ni amih mik dai sak ham,
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.
yinnah lamkah vangnah la, Satan kah saithainah lamloh Pathen taengla bal puei ham, amih te tholh khodawkngainah, kai dongah tangnah neh a ciim tangtae rhoek taengah hmulung dang sak ham amih taengla nang kan tueih,’ a ti.
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
Te dongah manghai Agrippa aw, vaan mangthui te aka lokhak la ka om moenih.
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.
Tedae lamhma la Damasku ah, te phoeiah Jerusalem, Judea paeng pum neh namtom rhoek taengah khaw tholh yut tih Pathen taengla mael sak ham, yutnah neh a tingtawk la khoboe hlawt ham ni ka puen pah.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Te dongah ni bawkim khuiah aka om kai he Judah rhoek loh n'tuuk tih ngawn ham m'moeh uh.
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,
Tedae Pathen taengkah bomnah ka dang dongah ni tihnin due tanoe kangham taengah ka pai tih ka laipai. Hmailong ah om hamla cai tih tonghma rhoek neh Moses loh a thui te a pueh la ka thui moenih.
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.
Khrih loh patang cakhaw, pilnam neh namtom taengah vangnah te doek ham a cai dongah aka duek khuiah thohkoepnah loh a lamhma sak,” a ti nah.
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.
Te nen te a huul uh dongah Phesto loh ol ue neh, “Paul, na ang coeng, na cabu cungkuem loh lutlatnah la m'vil coeng,” a ti nah.
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Tedae Paul loh, “Hlangcong Phesto aw ka ang moenih, oltak neh cuepmueihnah ol ni ka thui.
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.
He kawng he manghai loh a ming coeng dongah amah taengah khaw sayalh la ka thui. Anih ham pakhat khaw ka phah tih ka rhoih pawt moenih. Congket kah aka om khaw a saii mai he.
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
Manghai Agrippa, tonghma rhoek ke na tangnah a? Na tangnah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
Te vaengah Paul te Agrippa loh, “Khrihca la saii ham kai khaw rhaih nan yoek coeng he,” a ti nah.
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.
Tedae Paul loh, “Nang bueng pawt tih tihnin kah kai ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih he khaw hloong kah a voel ah he kamah ka om bangla metlam a om poek eh tite Pathen taengah a toi a sen la ka thangthui,” a ti nah.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Te vaengah manghai khaw, khoboei khaw, Bernike khaw, amih taengkah aka ngol rhoek khaw boeih thoo uh.
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
A khoe uh phoeiah tah pakhat pakhat taengah thui uh thae tih, “Hekah hlang loh a saii he pakhat pataeng dueknah nen khaw, hloong nen khaw a tiing moenih,” a ti uh.
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Te dongah Agrippa loh Phesto taengah, “Hekah hlang loh Kaisar te pha voel pawt cakhaw hlah hamla coeng thai,” a ti nah.
