Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
Ri Agripa xubꞌij che ri Pablo: Kuyaꞌo katchꞌawik, katoꞌ awibꞌ. Ri Pablo kꞌut xumajij chꞌawem, xubꞌan jun kꞌutbꞌal rukꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ rech man kechꞌaw ta na ri winaq, xubꞌij:
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
Nim taqanel Agripa, sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot wanimaꞌ lal katow la ri nutzij tobꞌal wibꞌ che ri jastaq ri kinkitzujuj wi ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
3 Especially [because I know] thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
Wetaꞌm chi lal qas etaꞌm la ri naqꞌatajibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qas ubꞌanik ri jastaq ri kakichꞌoꞌjij rij ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Kamik kꞌut kinta jun toqꞌobꞌ kintatabꞌej la. Ri ukꞌaslemal kan ri Pablo nabꞌe.
4 My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
Are in nitzꞌ akꞌal, xya kꞌutuꞌn chwe chkixoꞌl ri nuwinaq, xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, ketaꞌm ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
5 Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Aꞌreꞌ ketaꞌm we kakaj kakibꞌij, nabꞌe in kachiꞌl kan ri fariseos, ri wokaj ri sibꞌalaj tzꞌaqat kakibꞌan che ri jastaq pa ri naqꞌatajibꞌal rech kan nabꞌe.
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
Kamik kꞌut kaqꞌat tzij pa nuwiꞌ rumal chi kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx che ri uchiꞌm loq ri Dios chike ri qamam ojer.
7 Unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, instantly serving [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Are waꞌ rumal keqꞌijilaꞌn che ri Dios chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ ri kabꞌlajuj puq winaq rech Israel, kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx che ri kuꞌl wi na kꞌuꞌx in. Pune jeriꞌ, Nimalaj Taqanel, aꞌreꞌ kinkitzujuj rumal waꞌ we kꞌulibꞌal na kꞌuꞌx.
8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
¿Jas che man kikoj taj chi ri Dios kuꞌkꞌastajisaj ri kaminaqibꞌ?
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Pa nukꞌuꞌx in nabꞌe, chi are in taqchiꞌtal chuqꞌatexik ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús aj Nazaret.
10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].
Qas tzij kinbꞌij, qas kꞌyaqal riꞌ ri xinbꞌan pa Jerusalén. Ri e kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xkiya bꞌe chwe xeꞌntaq bꞌik e kꞌi kojonelabꞌ pa cheꞌ. Are tajin kekamisaxik in xinbꞌij chi taqalik kekamik.
11 And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled [them] to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted [them] even unto strange cities.
Kꞌi mul xinbꞌano chi kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ pa ri Sinagoga rech kaketzelaj uwach ri Jesús. Sibꞌalaj woyawal chike rumal riꞌ xeꞌntereneꞌj pa taq juleꞌ taq tinimit chik.
12 Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
Jun qꞌijal inbꞌenaq pa ri tinimit Damasco, keꞌnbꞌana ri jun chak, xkibꞌij bꞌik chwe ri qꞌatal tzij xuqujeꞌ ri kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq.
13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
Nim Taqanel, qas pa ri unikꞌajil qꞌij, xpe jun tunanik pa ri kꞌaj, are kꞌo na cho ri utunal ri qꞌij, xinutunaj in xuqujeꞌ ri e wachiꞌl.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Qonojel xujtzaq pa ri ulew, kꞌa te riꞌ xinta jun chꞌabꞌal pa ri tzijobꞌal hebreo, xubꞌij: “Saulo, Saulo ¿jas che kabꞌan kꞌax chwe? Xaq at kabꞌan kꞌax chibꞌil awibꞌ.”
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Ri in xinbꞌij: “¿Jachin ri lal, Tat?” Ri Ajawxel xubꞌij: “In riꞌ ri Jesús ri tajin kabꞌan kꞌax chwe.”
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Chanim chatwaꞌjiloq, xinkꞌut wibꞌ chawach rech katuxik wajchak xuqujeꞌ qꞌalajisal rech ri awilom xuqujeꞌ ri kinkꞌut na chawach.
17 Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
Katintoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri awinaqil, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Qas tzij, katintaq na bꞌik kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj,
18 To open their eyes, [ and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
rech kajaqataj ri kibꞌoqꞌoch, rech keꞌl la pa ri qꞌequꞌmal keqꞌax pa ri tunal, xuqujeꞌ keꞌl loq xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri itzel keqꞌax puꞌqꞌabꞌ ri Dios. Kakikꞌamawaꞌj kꞌu na ri kuybꞌal kimak xuqujeꞌ kayaꞌtaj na kꞌokꞌibꞌal chikixoꞌl ri utinimit ri Dios, rumal ri kikojobꞌal chwe.
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
Rumal waꞌ Nim taqanel Agripa, xinnimaj ri kꞌutuꞌn rech chikajil.
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
Nabꞌe xintzijoj chike ri winaq aꞌj Damasco, kꞌa te riꞌ pa Jerusalén, pa Judea xuqujeꞌ chike konojel ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx che ri kimak, ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌan ri utz laj taq jastaq rech kakikꞌutu chi xekꞌextajik.
21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill [me].
Rumal waꞌ nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel xinkichap pa ri Templo, are xkaj xinkikamisaj.
22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
Ri Dios kꞌut inuchajim kꞌa kamik rech kinqꞌalajisaj chike konojel ri winaq kachapleꞌtaj kukꞌ ri nitzꞌ keqeleꞌn kopan kukꞌ ri nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn. Man kꞌo ta jun jastaq kinkꞌutu ri mat xkitzijoj loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Moisés.
23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Aꞌreꞌ xkitzijoj loq chi ri Mesías kuriq na kꞌax, xuqujeꞌ areꞌ nabꞌe kakꞌastaj na chikiwach konojel ri kaminaqibꞌ xaq jeriꞌ kutzijoj na ri utunal ri Dios junam chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
Xaq kꞌa te ri Festo xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij: ¡Xa at kon Pablo, ri nimalaj etaꞌmanik at ukonarisam!
25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
Ri Pablo xutzalij uwach, xubꞌij: Man xa taj in kon, nimalaj reqeleꞌn Festo. Are tajin kinbꞌij ri tunal ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo kutayij.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
Ri Nim taqanel Agripa retaꞌm waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, rumal laꞌ man kinxiꞌj ta wibꞌ che ri kinbꞌij, man xkꞌulmataj ta we jastaq riꞌ chaꞌwal.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Taqanel Agripa ¿la kakoj lal ri xkibꞌij ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios? Wetaꞌm in chi kekoj la.
28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
Ri Agripa xuqꞌatej ri utzij ri Pablo, xubꞌij: ¿Teꞌq pa akꞌuꞌx aninaq kinamenkꞌetij rech kinkojonik?
29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
Ri Pablo xubꞌij: We kꞌu aninaq o kꞌamaꞌtam, kinta che ri Dios pa ri nuchꞌawem chi ri lal xuqujeꞌ konojel ri e kꞌo pa we kꞌolibꞌal riꞌ kuꞌx na jetaq ri in, xwi chi man e yuttal taj.
30 And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
Xewaꞌjil kꞌu ri taqanel, ri qꞌatal tzij, ri Berenice xuqujeꞌ konojel ri winaq xel loq.
31 And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
Are tajin keꞌl loq xkichomaj: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ maj mak ubꞌanom ri taqal che kakamik o keꞌ pa cheꞌ.
32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
Ri Agripa xubꞌij che ri Festo: Wine utz katzoqopixik wet mat xutoqꞌij kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ rumal ri César.
