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.
U Aglipa pwakhambula uPavuli, `Akhata lieno vuwesya ukhunchova. 'Pwu uPavuli akhinula ikhivokho kyamwene akhitetela.
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.
“Akhata nikhipuliekha luhekhelo, Mumbwumi wango, Vitwa Eglipa, ukhuva eilelo puninchovanikhetetela inongwa nchango inchuava Yahudi vakhang'iegaga une.
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
Ulwakhuva uve uliemanyi unchimanyi indagielo ninchu vivuncha. Pwu nikhukhudova wiemuliekhenche nukwiyumilincha.
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,
Lweli, Avayahudi voni vamanyi uune ukhuhuma uvudebe namumikhulile gyango mukhilunga kyango khu Yelusalemu.
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.
Une vamanyile ukhuhuma khuvutengulilo vanogiile ukwidika ukhuta undumbilieli, mumpelela ugulinulwedienkho ululuti mumbuklisiti wienyo.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Leino nimile aapa pakhuhigwa ulwakhuva une nilola ululagielo ulwa Nguluve avombile khuvadada vetu.
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.
Ulu lululagielo lulwa ifikoolo fwietu khinchigho nifivieli fihuvile ukhupokele inave fikwupilila ienava finkhumwidikha Unguluve nukwiyumilincha pankhilo na pamusi. Ni kwa ajili ya tumaini hili, mfalme Agripa, kwamba Wayahudi wananishitaki.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Khukhuta khikhi muugaati ndyumwe musaagaa ukhuta nchiva ncha khudegha ukhuta Unguluve inchusya avafwile?
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
Unsiekhi ugwinge nasagiele yune ni mwene ukhuta ninogiiiwe ukhuvomba imbombo nyingi incha litawa ilya Yesu uva mu Nasaleti.
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.
Nivomba inchi mu Yelusalemu; Navakhungile aveidikhi avingi avavalanche nikhava na makha agaakhutamula ukhuhuma khuvavaha va vatekhenchi vuvibudiwa une nene niliekhulamula.
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.
Papingi navatesinche vuvali mtembile nchavene ukhuta vabelaghe ulwidiko ulwavene. Nikhava nilyoyo ilaluvipo ulukali khuvene khange nilikhuvaswema munkhilunga ikya khuvugeni.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
Vunivombo inchi, nalutile ku Dameski, vunielina makha nindagielo ukhuhuma khuvalumbili avavaha;
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.
vunielimunjila pamusi, Untwa ninkhavona ulumuli ululuti khulinchuva lukhamulikha ukhunjula une na vanu uvutwa geendanga nnjela nune.
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.
Twivoni tukhagwa pasi, pwuniekhapulikha ilimenyu linchova nune munjovela iya Khieblania: `Savuli, Savuli! Khikhi ikyuvukunesya? Khupala khulyuve ukhuvanya nilivalo khunchokoo.
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Pwu nikhanchova, 'Uve veveni, Nkuludeva?' Unkuludeva akhamula, 'Une nene Yesu yuune vukhuneesya.
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,
Lino wieme na malunde ghakho; ulwakhuva uvunogwe wango une nievonike khulyuve, niekhuhalile ukhuva imbombi nukhuva inchovi khumbombo iyuyimanyile ieyango lino nie mbombo nchincho uyuniekhukhuvonesyaga pavulongolo;
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
khange nikhukhupoka khuvanu uwayikhiva nikhukhusuha Avankilunga ukwakhiva nikhukhusuha,
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.
ukhuvadiendula amiho gaavene nukhuvahencha iehisi ukhuloncha khulumulu nukhuhuma khumaka agaa ntavangwa ukhuta vamwidikhe Unguluve; ukhuta vupiliele ulusyiekhilo ukhuhuma khwa Nguluve uvusyiekhilo uwa mbivi nuvuhale.
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
Ulwakhuva, vintwa Eglipa, saninkilwe une unkhujileka ienyevonelo incha khukyanya,
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.
ulwakhuva, khuvala avakhatamaga khu Damesika, nakhu Yelusalemu na avankhilunga kyoni ikya Yudea, na vanu avange avafikholo ifinge, nikhavalumbilile ukhuta vanchileke imbivi vasayiwe vasyetuke vankonge Unguluve, vavombage imbombo inchikuvavonesya ukhuta vikhudwada Unguluve.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Kumbombo incho Avayahudi vakhanyibata mutembile, valikhunogwa ukhumbuda.
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,
Unguluve anangile puunoefikhile aapa, pwu nikwima nukhunchova khuvanu voni avanini na vavaha khu nchila inchuvachovile avanyamalago nu Musa vanchovile ukhuta inchi nchilavoneka;
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.
ukhuta uKlisite alatesekha hange alatala ukhunchuka ukhuhuma khuvufwe nukhuvonesya ulumuli khuvavu Avayahudi na khuvanu amufilunga.
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.
U Pavuli wamaliele ukhunchova ukwipala, uFesito pwakhanchova akhatoncha ilimenyu ilievaha, 'Pavuli, ulienulunkwale! uluhala lwako uluwiembile lukhupiele ulunkwale.
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
U Pavuli akata, Une sanielinulukwale, Fesito; vindwanchiwa ulwakhuva winchova incha wanyielweli nchene.
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.
Ulwakhuva vintwa ulumanyile khwu mbombo inchii; pwuninchova saniedwadwa khumwene, ulwakhuma nilumanyile ukhuta khiesikuli iekhefihime khumwene, ulwakhuva eile salikhavombekhaga kuvutitu.
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
Te, uve Pavuli, vukhuvidikha avanyamalago, Untwa uAglipa? Nielumanile ukhuta vukhumwidika.
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
'U Aglipa akhambula uPavuli, 'Khwu nsiekhe udeebe vuwesya ukhunchova nune ukhuta nipiendukhe ukhuva Nklistie?
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.
U Pavuli akhanchova, '“Nikhundova Unguluve ukhuta, khunsiekhi unsupu apange untwali, syo uve viemwene, avanu voni avinkhumolieka ielelo vave ndune, hange savakhave niendegehe incha mukheikhungwa.”
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Untwa pwa akhima, nu mbombi, nu Bernike, vope navakhatamile pwupaninie navo,
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
wuvuvahegiila valikhunchova vavo valikhuta, 'Umunu uyu sapanogile ukhuta afwe nakhukhukhungiwa.'
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
U Aglipa akhambula uFesito akhata, “Umunu uyu akhalondiwa alekhe ukhuloleliwa ave ndunonchehencho akhale uvuvopolwa khwa Kaisali.”
