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.
Bosi Angilipa wukamba Polo: —Beki minsua mu kukivovila. Bosi Polo wunonuna koko kuandi ayi wukivavila:
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.
—A mueni ntinu Angilipa, khini ndimmona buabu bu wupheni minsua mu samba va ntualꞌaku mu mambu moso momo Bayuda bamfundidi,
3 Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
bila ngeyo zebi bumboti bifu biawu ayi ziphaka ziawu. Lemvuka mueni, kanga ntima mu kungua bu ndieka ntuba.
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,
Bayuda boso bazebi buevi bubela nzingulu ama tona mu kimuana kiama ayi buevi ndizingila tona vana thonono va khatitsika tsi ama ayi ku Yelusalemi.
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.
Bawu banzebi tona thama ayi enati batidi, balenda telama kimbangi ti minu ndizingila banga Mfalisi, boso buididi dikabu dieti landakana bumboti minsiku mi kinzambi kieto.
6 And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
Vayi buabu ndilembo sambi mu diambu di diana diama didi mu tsilayoyi Nzambi kavana bakulu beto.
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.
Dikumi ayi makanda meto muadi meti tula diana mu mona ndungusulu yi tsila yoyi; bu beti sadila Nzambi mu kambu vongabuilu ayi muini. A ntinu, mu diambu di diana diodi Bayuda bamfundidi!
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
Vayi bila mbi lunkambu wilukila ti Nzambi wumfulukisanga batu bafua e?
9 I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
Mu diambu diama, ndiyindula mu vanga mamo mafueni mu diambu di kakidila dizina di Yesu, muisi Nazaleti.
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.
Buawu bobo ndivanga mu Yelusalemi. Banlongo bawombo ndikotisa mu nloko bu ndibaka lutumunu kuidi bapfumu banganga Nzambi. Bosi mu thangu baba mvondo, ndikikinina ti bafua.
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.
Zikhumbu ziwombo ndiba vana thumbudulu mu zinzo zi zikhutukunumu kuba kuika bafinga Yesu. Zinganzi bu ziviokila ngolo, mu diambu diawu, ndiba yamisa nate mu mavula manzenza.
12 At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
Bu ndiba kuenda ku Damasi mu diambu diodi mu lulendo ayi mu minsua miomi nditambula kuidi bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi.
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.
A ntinu, mu nzila mu thangu midi, ndimona kiezila kingolo biba ku diyilu kilezama viokila kiezila ki thangu, kinzungidila minu ayi batu bobo baba yama mu nzila.
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.
Beto boso tubua va tsi, ndiwa mbembo yiba kukhamba mambu mu ki Ebelewo: “A Sawuli! A Sawuli! Bila mbi wulembo ndiamisinanga e? A keti wulembo kilueki ngeyo veka bu wulembo diatilanga ba e?”
15 Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Buna ndinyuvula: “A Pfumu, ngeyo widi nani e?” Bosi Pfumu wutuba: “Minu Yesu diodi weti yamisanga.
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,
Vayi vumbuka, ayi telama, bila ndimonikini muingi wuba kisadi kiama ayi mbangi mu diambu di mambu mama mueni ayi mu diambu di mambu momo ndiela kumonisa.
17 Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
Minu ndiela kukula va khatitsika batu baku ayi kuidi Bapakanu; kuidi bawu ndiela kufidisa
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.
muingi wuba zibula meso mawu; babotuka mu tombi mu kuiza ku kiezila; babotuka mu mioko mi Satana mu kuiza kuidi Nzambi muingi batambula ndemvokolo mu masumu mawu ayi batambula kiuka va kimosi ayi bobo bavedusu mu minu kiawu mu minu.”
19 Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
A ntinu Angilipa, ndisia manga ko tumukina tsongolo yoyo yiba ku Diyilu.
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.
Vayi ndituama samunina theti batu bobo badi ku Damasi, ayi bobobadi ku Yelusalemi ayi mu zunga kioso ki Yuda, ayi kuidi Bapakanu muingi babalula mavanga mawu; ayi babaluka kuidi Nzambi mu vanga mavanga mammonisa ti bukiedika babaludi mavanga.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
Mu bila kioki Bayuda balembo tombi kuphonda bu bakhanga muna Nzo Nzambi.
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,
Vayi bu nditambula lusadusu lu Nzambi, diawu ndikidi zingila nate lumbu kiaki, mu telama kimbangi kuidi batu ba luvalu ayi batu baphamba. Ndilonga kaka mambu momo mayolukila mimbikudi ayi Moyize ti mafueti vangama.
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.
Klisto kafueti mona ziphasi ayi bu kela ba mutu wutheti mu fuluka mu bafua, buna kafueti samuna kiezila kuidi Bayuda ayi kuidi Bapakanu.
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.
Polo bu kaba samba, mu diambu di kukivavila; Fesitusi wutuba mu mbembo yingolo: —A Polo, lawukidi! Diela diaku diwombo diawu dilawukisidi!
25 But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Vayi Polo wuvutula: —A mueni Fesitusi, ndisi dilawu ko. Mambu ma ndintuba madi makiedika ayi ma mfunu
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.
bila Ntinu zebi mambu beni. Ndilembo tubi mu bukhafi va ntualꞌandibila nzebi kuama ti zebi mamoso mama bila masi vangimina mu nsueki ko!
27 O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
A Ntinu Angilipa, weta wilukila mimbikudi e? Nzebi ti weta wilukila!
28 Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
Angilipa wukamba Polo: —Mu thangu yikhufi tidi kukhitula nkua Klisto.
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.
Polo wumvutudila: —Buba mu thangu yikhufi voti mu thangu yimula, ndinlomba kuidi Nzambi, bika sia ti ngeyo kaka vayi baboso balembo ngui buabu, luba banga minu, botula kaka zisieni ziazi.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
Bosi Ntinu, wutelama va kimosi ayi nyadi, Belinisi ayi batu boso bavuanda yawu.
31 And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
Bu batotuka, batubasana bawu na bawu: —Mutu wawu kasi vanga diambu di kafueti vondolo ko voti di kafueti kangulu mu zisieni ko.
32 Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Buna Angilipa wukamba Fesitusi: —Mutu wawu fueni yekolo enati kasi lomba kuenda sambi va ntuala Sezali ko.
