Acts 26
1 And Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted to you to speak for yourself”; then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defense:
Agilipa den yedi Polo: Li tuo han maadi ki ga a yuli. Polo den tandi o nuu ki baa maadi ki ga o yuli ki yedi:
2 “Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I have thought myself blessed, being about to make a defense before you today,
O bado Agilipa, n pali mani ke n baa fidi ki maadi a nintuali dinla ki ga n yuli, ki nan doagidi ke Jufinba n tabi nni yaala yaapo yeni naa tie moamoani.
3 especially knowing you to be acquainted with all things—both customs and questions—among Jews; for this reason, I implore you to hear me patiently.
Kelima fini aba bani Jufinba bogida cain leni ban nia yaala yaapo. Lanwani, n mia ha han juuni ki cengi n maama.
4 The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth—which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem—all the Jews know,
Jufinba kuli bani n yema n den tie maama hali n biwaama yogunu leni hali mi cilima n maadogu nni, leni Jelusalema nni.
5 knowing me before from the first (if they may be willing to testify), that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;
Bi bani nni hali ke li waagi, ki bani ke n tie Falisieni, yaa cagili n ñii ti jaanma po, leni tidanbogida po ki cie. Bi yaa bua bi baa fidi ki tieni seedi lipo
6 and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged,
Moala n se ne u bujiakaanu kani kelima n sugini ke U Tienu baa kuani wan den niani ti yaajanba ya ñoanianu.
7 to which our twelve tribes, intently serving night and day, hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, King Agrippa, by the Jews;
Ti buolu yaaba, bani i piiga n buoliedi yeni, yaaba n tuuni U Tienu po u yensiinu leni ku ñiagu kuli, n moko sugini laa ñoanianu kuama. O bado, li tie kelima laa suginma po yo ke Jufinba tabi nni.
8 why is it judged incredible with you if God raises the dead?
Yinba, be n teni ke yi nua ke li kan tuo U Tienu n fiini bi tinkpiba?
9 I indeed, therefore, thought with myself that it was necessary [for me] to do many things against the Name of Jesus of Nazareth,
Moamoani mini nba den tama ke li pundi min tieni min fidi yaala kuli ki yie Nasaleti yua Jesu yeli po.
10 which I also did in Jerusalem, and I shut up many of the holy ones in prison, having received the authority from the chief priests; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,
N den tieni yeni Jelusalema, ki baa bi kopadicianba kani li bali ki kuani bi nigagidihanba a kadidiena nni. Ban den jia leni ba, n den taa leni yaaba n den sua ke li pundi ba kpa ba.
11 and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining [them] to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting [them] even to strange cities.
N go den caa li balimaama bangima diena nni ki wangi ba fala, ki tiendi ba u paalu ban sugi U Tienu. N pabienkandikaali den teni ke n caa baa i dolami nni ki fagidi ba.
12 In which things, also, going on to Damascus—with authority and commission from the chief priests—
Li tie lani yaa po ke n den baa bi kopadicianba yudanba kani li bali leni u sanu ki fii ki caa Damasa ki baan tieni yeni lanpo mo.
13 at midday, I saw in the way, O king, out of Heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining around me a light—and those going on with me;
O bado, u yensiinu ke n ye u sanu nni n den laa ya yenma n ñuliti ki cie ki yenga yenma, ke mi ñani tanpoli po ki yendi ki lindi nni, mini leni n yegininlieba.
14 and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? [It is] hard for you to kick against goads!
Tikuli den baa tiipo. N den gbadi ke u nialu maadi leni nni Ebilu maama nni ki yedi: Solo, Solo, be yaa po yo ke a faligidi nni? Li baa pa apo han yiadi u danbu ki pua li bonmuukaala.
15 And I said, Who are You, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom you persecute;
N den yedi o: A tie hme? O Diedo den yedi nni: N tie Jesu, han faligidi yua.
16 but rise, and stand on your feet, for this I appeared to you, to appoint you an officer and a witness both of the things you saw, and of the things [in which] I will appear to you,
Fii ki hma ki sedi. N doagidi a po n yuli kelima n gandi a han yaa tie n naacemo leni n seedo, ki yaa wangi bi niba han laa yaala na leni min go baa waani a yaala.
17 delivering you from the people, and the nations, to whom I now send you,
N baa ga ha Jufinba leni yaaba n kaa tie Jufinba kuli nuu nni min baa soani a yaaba ya kani.
18 to open their eyes, to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the authority of Satan to God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified by faith that [is] toward Me.
N soani a bikani ke han hubidi bi nuni, ki ñani ba li biigili nni ban kua mi yenma nni, ki ñani ba Sutaani paalu nni ban cua U Tienu kani. Lani ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili, ki baa U Tienu n gagidi ki hanbi yaaba kelima li dandanli po ya siiga.
19 After which, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Lanwani o bado Agilipa, den yie ke n kan tuo ki tieni min den laa tanpoli bonlekaala yaala yeni n puogi nni yaala. n
20 but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, also to all the region of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to convert, and to turn back to God, doing works worthy of conversion;
den kpa wangi Damasa yaaba, ki yuandi ki wangi Jelusalema yaaba, leni Jude ya diema nni yaaba kuli. N go den wangi bi nilanba moko, ke ban lebidi bi yama ki hoadi U Tienu, ki yaa tuuni yaa tuona n doagidi ke bi lebidi.
21 because of these things the Jews—having caught me in the temple—were endeavoring to kill [me].
Li tie lani yaa po ke Jufinba den cuo nni U Tienu diegu nni ki moandi ki baa kpa nni.
22 Having obtained, therefore, help from God, until this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spoke of as about to come,
Ama kelima U Tienu todima po n ye hali dinla ki tiendi seedi taliginba leni bi paatieba kuli po. Min yedi yaala taa yenma leni bi sawalipuaba leni Musa kuli n den pua sawali ke yaala n baa tieni yeni po, mii pugini lipo liba.
23 that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a resurrection from the dead, He is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.”
Lani n tie ke U Tienu n Gandi yua baa la fala tiladi, ki tua U Tienu n kpa fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga. O baa yaa wangi Jufinba leni bi nilanba kuli mi yenma maama.
24 And he thus making a defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “You are mad, Paul; much learning turns you mad!”
Polo n den maadi yeni ki baa ga o yuli, Fesitusa den kpaani ki yedi: Polo, a gaadi, a cogiciamu teni ke a gaadi.
25 And he says, “I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness I speak forth the sayings;
Polo den goa ki yedi o: Ti yudaano Fesitusa, mii gaadi ka. Min maadi yaama tie moamoani ki go tie yandanmaama.
26 for the king knows concerning these things, before whom I also speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing has not been done in a corner;
O bado Agilipa ma bani laa bonla maama fuuli. Lani n teni ke n maadi o kani leni li papaali, kelima n bani ke laa maama siiga baa mayenma ki boani o, kelima laa den tieni wuoli nni.
27 do you believe, King Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that you believe!”
Fini o bado Agilipa, naani a dugi bi sawalipuaba maama po bi? N bani ke a dugi mipo.
28 And Agrippa said to Paul, “In [so] little you persuade me to become a Christian?”
Agilipa den goa ki yedi Polo: Li sieni waamu han teni min tua Kilisiti yua.
29 And Paul said, “I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only you, but also all those hearing me today, to become such as I also am—except these bonds.”
Polo den goa ki yedi o: Li yaa tie moala, bi li yaa baa waagi, min miadi U Tienu yaala tie ke lan da tua fini bebe ka, ama yinba yaaba n ye ne ki gba n maama kuli, n tua nani min tie maama ki yaa tie n kado bebe ne yaaka.
30 And he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them,
O bado leni gufeneeli leni Belenisa leni yaaba n den taani ki ka leni ba kuli den fii.
31 and having withdrawn, they were speaking to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds”;
Ban den ña, bi den maadi leni biyaba ki tua: O naa joa naa tieni yaala n pundi ban kpa o, baa ban kuani o li kadidieli nni moko.
32 and Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
O bado Agilipa den yedi Feasitusa: O joa na ya den soagini o buudi Sesa po, a bi baa fidi ki faabi o.
