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.
Lanwani ii, Agripa den yedi Pɔli, “Maadi ki fie a yuli.” Ke Pɔli duoni o nuu, ki saa i mɔni ki yedi.
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.
O badciamo Agripa, n ye li pamanli nni yeni min ga mi maama a nintuali ki ba maadi ki fie n yuli juufinba yaaba n jalgi nni nuui nni;
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
Kelima a tie bancianma daano yaali n nua juufinba yema yeni bi bogda po. Lanyapo i ke n mia ŋa ke ŋan pa juunli ki cengi nni.
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,
Ti ya ba maadi i mɔni, juufinba kuli bani min ye maama hali n jawaama nni n dogu nni yeni Jerusalema po.
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.
Bi bani nni hali mi cilma, ki ba tuo ki saa i mɔni ke n den cɔlni farisienba yema, ya jaanbuolu n cɔlni mi teginma sanu.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Mɔlane n ji se ne ke bi jiagi nni ti buudi kelima n lingi ya ñɔnianu ke U Tienu den niani ti yaajanba
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.
Kelima li tie ya ñɔnianu ke ti piiga n cuglieda den pugi U Tienu yeni ti cɔlindi yienu yeni ñiagu ki daani ke ban baa i. O badciamo Agripa, li dandanli po i, ke juufinba jalgi nni.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Beyapo i ke i siiga nni bá niyendo ki maali ke U Tienu ba fidi ki faadi bi tinkpiba.
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
Yoguba, n den maali ke mi tieni bona boncianli ki kɔni yeni yaaba n taagi Nasareti Jesu yeli.
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.
N tieni li bona Jerusalema dogu nni. Salga yidkaaba ciamo ń den puni nni ya yiko po cedi ke n luoni bi dugikaaba boncianli a kpaadidiena nni, n den solgi ban den kpa yaaba.
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.
N den ŋmalgi bi tuba yognu kuli ti yikodi codiena nni ki niidi ba ke bi sugdi U Tienu. N den fiindi n pabienli bi po, ki wangi ba falaciamo bá i doglami nni mɔno.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
Min den tuuni lanya tuona, n den caa Damasi ke li tie salga yidkaaba ciamo yikodi sanu nni;
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.
O badciamo, li sanu po, u yensiinu, n den ya yenma n ñilgi ki tuudi ki cie u yienu, ke mi ñani ŋaljanli nni ki yendi ki lindi mini yeni n yegni.
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.
Ti kuli ń lagdi ki baá, n den gbadi ke u nialu maadi yeni nni ebrewu maama nni, “Soli, Soli, be n cedi ki a wangi nni ya falaciamo ne? li paa a po yeni ŋan taa a taali ki pua li bonmuukaali.”
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Ke n buali “A tie ŋma i, O Diedo? Ke o diedo jiini N tie Jesu, ŋan falgi yua i.
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,
Mɔla, fii ki sedi a taana po; lanyapo i ke n dɔgdi a po, ki lugdi a ke ŋan tua n tuonsɔnlo yeni n kasiedi yaali nua ŋan bani nni mɔlane yaali ya po yeni min ba yuandi ki waani a ya bona;
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
N go ba faabi a min suani a ya dogtieba yeni ya nilanba siiga nui nni.
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.
Ke ŋan luodi bi nuni, ki ñani ba li biigli yeni Setaani paaciamu nui nni, ki ŋmagdi ba mi yenma yeni U Tienu po, ke ban fidi ki baa U Tienu sugli bi tuonbiadi po, ki di min gagdi ki ŋanbi yaaba faali kelima ban pia ya dudugdi n po.
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
O badciamo Agripa, lanwani ii, n ki fali ŋaljanli nni bonlakaali;
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.
Ama, cincinli, Damasa yaaba po, ki tuani Jerusalema po, yeni Jude dogu nni yaaba kuli yeni bi bi nilanba po, n teni ba u tondu ke ban biidi bi pala bi tuonbiadi po, ki lebdi bi tɔgu, ki guani U Tienu kani ki ya tuuni ya tuonŋana n dagdi yeni ti tuonbiadi sugli.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Lanyapo i ke jufinba cuo nni ku jaandiegu nni ki bigni ke ban kpa nni.
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,
Hali yeni mɔla kuli, U Tienu todi nni, kelima n se ki saagi i mɔni bi niba kuli yeni a nigbenga siiga ke yii nua bontɔli kase bi sawalpuaba yeni Moyiisi ń waani ke yaali n ba tieni ke laa pia tama;
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.
Ke li buali ke Kirito ń la fala, ki tua yua n ba kpia ki faadi bi tinkpiba siiga, ki fii ki kpaandi ki waani jufinba buolu yeni bi nilanba mi yenma.”
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.
Pɔli ń maadi o mɔmɔnsaali ki dudi, ke Festusi tandi ki yedi, “Pɔli a tie gaado i, a bancianma n cedi ke a gaadi.”
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Ama ke pɔli maadi, “O nicɔlinka Festusi, mii tie gaado ka, ama n paani n pali i, ki ñani i mɔmɔni lanbona ki maadi yeni li yumiinli
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.
Kelima o badciamo bani lanya bona kuli po, lani n cedi ke n fuoni n yama ki maadi o, kelima n bani ke bonli ki ye li maama po ki duagi o; kelima libakuli ki tieeni wuoli nni.
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
O badciamo Agripa, a dugi bi sawalpuaba po oo? N bani ke a dugi bi po”
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
Agripa ń maadi pɔli, “A bua li y pugni waamu ŋan maadi kuani n yama min tuo ki tua Kirito ŋɔdka yo oo?
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.
Pɔli ń yedi, “N jaandi ki miadi U Tienu ke lan tie mɔla ne yo oo, lan ba waagi yo oo, lan da tie fini baba ka ama yaaba cengi n maama dinne ne ń tua nani mini yeni, ama lan da tie li kpadidieli kudseseli ya po ka.”
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Ke o badciamo fii, ke gobna yeni Bernisi yeni yaaba n bo taani ki kaa yeni ba kuli fii;
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
ban ñani ku dieciangu nni ke bi maadi yeni bi lieba ki tua, “Ya nilo ne ki tieni ya bonli n pundi kuuma bii cuoma.”
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Agripa ń yedi Festusi, “Bi bi ba fidi ki luodi o nilo ne ki ŋa o li ya bi ki tie ke o pendi yeni mi maama Sesaari kani.”
