Acts 26
1 And Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and made his defence:
Adudagi Agrippa-na Paul-da hairak-i, “Nangna nasagidamak wa ngangnaba ayaba pire.” Paul-na magi makhut tingthoktuna masabu ngakthokchanaba wa haiba hourak-i,
2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, that I am to make my defence before thee this day touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews:
“Iningthou Agrippa, ngasi Jihudising asina eingonda iral siriba pumnamaksing asidagi nahakki mangda eigi ngakthokchaba wa haijabasi eigi laibak phabani haina khanjei.
3 especially because thou art expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
Thoidokpa maramdi Jihudisinggi chatnabi amadi wathoksing pumnamak nahakna yamna phajana khangbi. Aduna nahakna khaangbibaga loinana eigi wa tabinaba nonjari.”
4 My manner of life then from my youth up, which was from the beginning among mine own nation, and at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
“Angang oiringeidagi houna eina karamna hinglakpage haiba Jihudi pumnamakna khang-i. Ahanbada eigi iramdamda adudagi Jerusalem-da karamna eigi punsi lellakpage haiba makhoina khang-i.
5 having knowledge of me from the first, if they be willing to testify, how that after the straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Matam kuinadagi makhoina eibu khang-i. Karigumba makhoina sakhi pininglabadi piba yai madudi eikhoigi laininggi khwaidagi cheksinba kanglup Pharisee ama oina eina leirammi.
6 And now I stand [here] to be judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers;
Amasung houjikti eina eikhoigi ipa ipusingda Tengban Mapuna wasakpiramba aduda asa thamba maramgidamak eibu wayennaba maphamsida ei lepli.
7 unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, earnestly serving [God] night and day, hope to attain. And concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O king!
Madumak eikhoigi salai taranithoinasu madu phangjagani haina asa toujaduna makhoina ahing nungthil animakta Tengban Mapubu khurumjei. Iningthou Agrippa, asa asigidamak Jihudising asina eibu iral siribani.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?
Asibasingbu Tengban Mapuna hinggat-hanbi haibasi mapham asida leiriba nakhoina karigidamak thajaba ngamdribano?”
9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Nazareth-ki Jisugi ming asigi maiyokta eina touba ngamba khudingmak tougadabani haina ei isanasu khallammi.
10 And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my vote against them.
Madumak eina Jerusalem-da toukhi. Eina athoiba purohitsingdagi ayaba phanglammi aduga Tengban Mapugi mi kayabu keisumsangda thamlammi. Amasung makhoibu sibagi cheirak piba matamda einasu ayaba pirammi.
11 And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
Kayarak hanna eina synagogue amadagi synagogue amada chattuna makhoibu cheirak piduna namphuda makhoigi thajababu yahandanaba hotnakhi. Eina makhoibu mei houna saorammi maram aduna mireibakki saharsing phaobada makhoibu ot-neinaba eihak chatlammi.
12 Whereupon as I journeyed to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
“Pandam asigidamak eihakna athoiba purohitsingdagi ayaba amadi yathang phangduna Damascus tanna chatlammi.
13 at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them that journeyed with me.
Iningthou, numit yungba matam aduwaidani, eina lambida chatlingeida numittagi henna nganba mangal ama atiyadagi lakpa amasung eigi amadi eiga chatminnaribasinggi akoibada nganba eina ukhi.
14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
Eikhoi pumnamak leimaida tukhi. Aduga eingonda khonjel amana Hebrew londa asumna haiba eina takhi, ‘Saul, Saul, nahakna eibu karigi ot neiribano? Sal labana mapugi sajeida kaosinbagumna nangna nasabu sok-hanjare.’
15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
‘Ibungo, nahak kanano?’ haina eina hangkhi. Maduda Mapu Ibungona eingonda paokhum pirak-i, ‘Eihak nahakna ot neiriba Jisu aduni.
16 But arise, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things wherein thou hast seen me, and of the things wherein I will appear unto thee;
Adubu hougattuna lepkhatlu. Eigi inai oina khannaba eina nangonda uhanbibani. Ngasi nangna eingondagi ukhiba amasung tungda uhanbigadabasing adugi maramda misingda nahakna haigadabani.
17 delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I send thee,
Eina nangbu thagadaba Israel-gi mising amadi Jihudi nattaba misingdagi eina nangbu kanbigani.
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
Nangna makhoigi mit panghanduna makhoibu amambadagi mangalda amasung Satan-gi panggaldagi Tengban Mapuda olhallak-u, maramdi makhoina eingonda thajabagi mapanna makhoigi pap kokpiba phangnaba amasung Tengban Mapugi khandoklaba misinggi marakta mapham phangnanabani.’
19 Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
“Maram aduna, Iningthou Agrippa, eihakna swargadagi ukhiba adu eina haiba indaba toujade.
20 but declared both to them of Damascus first, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Ahanbada Damascus-ta mathangda Jerusalem-da adudagi Israel-gi lam pumnamakta amasung Jihudi nattabasinggi marakta makhoigi papsingdagi pukning hongduna Tengban Mapuda onsillaknaba amasung pukning hongle haiba utpa thabaksing tougadabani haina eina pao sandokle.
21 For this cause the Jews seized me in the temple, and assayed to kill me.
Maram asigidamak eina Mapugi Sanglenda leiringeida Jihudising asina eibu pharammi aduga eibu hatnaba hotnarammi.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand unto this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses did say should come;
Adubu ngasigi numit asi phaobada Tengban Mapuna eibu pangbiri. Maram aduna mapham asida apikpa amadi achouba mioi pumnamakta eina lepchaduna eigi sakhi pijari. Eina hairiba asimak Moses amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousingna thoklagani hairamba adumakni:
23 how that the Christ must suffer, [and] how that he first by the resurrection of the dead should proclaim light both to the people and to the Gentiles.
Christtana awaba khangba tai amasung asibasingdagi hinggatpa ahanba adu oigani aduga Jihudisingda amadi Jihudi nattabasingda aran-khubhamgi mangal adu laothokpigani.”
24 And as he thus made his defence, Festus saith with a loud voice, Paul, thou art mad; thy much learning doth turn thee to madness.
Asumna Paul-na masa ngakthokchanaba wa nganglingeida Festus-na marak thattuna mangonda laorak-i, “Paul, nahak ngaore! Nahakna mahei yamna tamlubana nahakpu ngaohalle.”
25 But Paul saith, I am not mad, most excellent Festus; but speak forth words of truth and soberness.
Maduda Paul-na khumlak-i, “Matik chaoba Festus, eihak ngaoba natte! Eina haijariba asi achumbani amadi maram chabani.
26 For the king knoweth of these things, unto whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him; for this hath not been done in a corner.
Iningthou Agrippa, nahakna hiramsing asigi maramda khangbiba maramna eina naphamda akiba leitana ngangjaba ngambani. Thoudoksing asi kachin amada thokkhiba nattaba oidabanina nahakna soidana khangbiramgani haiba eina thajei.
27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
Iningthou Agrippa, nahakna maichousingbu thajabra? Nahakna thajei haiba eina khangjei.”
28 And Agrippa [said] unto Paul, With but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christian.
Agrippa-na Paul-da hairak-i, “Atenba matam asida nahakna eibu Christian oihan-gani khanbra?”
29 And Paul [said], I would to God, that whether with little or with much, not thou only, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except these bonds.
Paul-na paokhum pirak-i, “Atenba matam oirabasu nattraga asangba matam oirabasu yot-lhing phalangsing asi khak nattana nahak amadi ngasi eigi wa tariba nakhoi pumnamakpu eina oibagumna oiraknaba Tengban Mapuda eina haijari.”
30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
Adudagi ningthou, leingak mapu, Bernice amasung atei pumnamak hougatlakle
31 and when they had withdrawn, they spake one to another, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
aduga ka adu thadokle aduga makhoi masel amaga amaga hainarak-i, “Mi asina mahak siba yaba nattraga keisumsangda thamba yaba karisu toukhide.”
32 And Agrippa said unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
Aduga Festus-na Agrippa-da hairak-i, “Mi asina karigumaba Ningthourelda wakatlamdrabadi mahak thadokpasu yaramlabani.”
