Acts 22
1 Brethren and fathers! Hear ye, the defence, which I now make unto you: —
“Jehudi phoh ano loong, boichaat thaak he sen ngathong ni nga puipang tiit jenglang rah ah!”
2 And, when they heard that, in the Hebrew language, he had begun to address them, they kept the more quiet. And he saith—
Hebru jenglam eh waan rum kano, ehanhan eh tikdat rumta, eno Pool ah jangjeng kata.
3 I, am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but nurtured in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, —trained after the strictness of our ancestral law; being jealous for God just as, all ye, are this day;
“Ngah Jehudi nok hah, Silika hah Tarsas ni tup hang rah, enoothong Gamaliel le wette ang angno Jerusalem hah aradi hak ang rah. Ngah ih sengte sengwah Hootthe ah rapne eh nyoot angno, chiinnyah sen ang lan ah likhiik ngah uh Rangte lakni lok hang rah.
4 and, this way, I persecuted unto the death, binding and delivering up into prisons both men and women: —
Teesu lamphante loong ah ngah ih lanti laan mah roh eh siiwi rumtang. Minuh miwah jokhaakleh phaatak ni sak rumtang.
5 as, even the High-priest, beareth me witness, and all the Eldership, —from whom, letters also, accepting to the brethren, unto Damascus, was I journeying, to bring them who were there bound unto Jerusalem, that they might be punished.
Romwah phokhothoon nyia Ngoongthumte loong ih nep jen deenbaat ehan ngah ih ami tam aha tiit baat hang rah ah. Nengphoh nengno Damaskus ni tongte loong asuh le ah raangleh nga lak ni kakoh rum tahang, enooleh Damaskas dowa kristaan miloong ah jaanruh ih kitleh Jerusalem ni kasiiwi wan rum tahang.
6 But it befell me, as I was journeying and drawing nigh unto Damascus, that, about mid-day—suddenly—out of heaven, there flashed a great light all around me;
“Damaskas hah thok nanah di, rangnithung di rang nawa nga reeni weephaak ah likhiik eh phaak ra taha.
7 I fell also to the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me—Saul! Saul! Why, me, art thou persecuting?
Hah ni loongdat angno ngasuh liihang rah miroot japchaat tang, ‘Sool, Sool! An ih tiim esuh siiwi halang?’
8 And, I, answered—Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me—I, am Jesus the Nazarene, whom, thou, art persecuting!
‘Eno chengtang, Teesu an o anglu?’ ‘Ngah Najaret hah dowa Jisu, an ih siiwi halang ah,’ ngeh ih ngaakli tahang.
9 Now, they who were with me, beheld, indeed, the light, but heard not, the voice, of him that was speaking with me
Nga dam dowa miloong ah ih weephaak ah tup eh rumta, enoothong erah waan taha root ah tachaat rumta.
10 And said—What shall I do, Lord? And, the Lord, said unto me—Arise, and be going thy way into Damascus, and, there, shall it be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Ngah ih chengtang, ‘Teesu, ngah ih tiimjih eh ang?’ Eno Teesu ih ngasuh baat tahang, ‘Toonchap uh Damaskas nah kah uh, an ih tiim etheng ah Rangte ih erah nah baat ho.’
11 But, as I could not see clearly owing to the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Weephaak nawa ih edook eh hoontang, erah thoidi nga joon loong ah ih nga lakni siit rum hangno Damaskas ko kati.
12 And, one Ananias, a man devout according to the law, well-attested by all the Jews that dwelt there,
“Erah samnuthung adi sengte sengwah Hootthe jatte Ananias ngeh ih mih wasiit angta, heh erah hah adi songtongte angta nyia Jehudi loong ih rapne eh choomjoh rumta.
13 coming unto me, and standing over me, said—Saul, brother! look up. And, I, in that very hour, looked up on him.
Heh nga reeni chapwang haano, li tahang, nga no ‘Sool, weetup eh uh!’ Erah jeng damdam eh kaasok angno heh japtuptang.
14 And he said—The God of our fathers, hath chosen thee to get to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, —and to hear a voice out of his mouth.
Ananias ih baat tahang, ‘Sengte sengwah Rangte ih heh tenthun mongtham ah jatthuk suh danje halu, adoleh heh laksuh kateng tiit ah jatthuk suh, nyia heh jeng ah boichaat suh danje halu.
15 Because thou shalt be a witness to him unto all men, of the things which thou hast seen and heard.
Tiimnge liidi, an ih tiim chaat hu nyia tiim tup hu erah ah mirep miraang suh toombaatte angthuk suh ngeh ih li halu.
16 And, now, what art thou going to do? Arise, and get thyself immersed, and have thy sins bathed away, calling upon his name.
Ano bah, an ih tiimjih ma kaban uh? Toonchap uthong, an rangdah ah saasiit suh rang ah soom uno ju nah thong tem kah uh.’
17 And it came to pass, when had returned unto Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I came to be in a trance,
“Jerusalem ni ngaakwang angno, Rangteenok ni rangsoom tang adi,
18 and saw him, saying unto me—Haste thee, and go forth speedily out of Jerusalem, inasmuch as they will not accept thy witness concerning me.
motmang ni, nga Teesu tuptang, eno heheh ih baat tahang, ‘Jerusalem nawa kharok eh doksoon uh, arah dowa miloong asuh nga tiit ah laatbaat ubah uh tabaam boichaat ru ang ah.’
19 And, I, said—Lord! they themselves, well know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue them who were believing on thee.
Ngah ih ngaakli tang, ‘Teesu,’ ‘Ngah Jehudi Rangsoomnok ni kah angno an liphante loong ah jokhak katang nyia buthom tang ah neng ih jat eha.
20 And, when the blood of Stephen thy witness was being shed, even I myself, was standing by, and approving, and guarding the mantles of them who were slaying him.
Eno an haaki Stephen tek haat rumta doh, ngah eje angtang, heh tek thukte nyia heh tek haatte nyuh akhat sokboite aju ngah angtang.’
21 And he said unto me—Be taking thy journey; because, I, unto nations afar off, will send thee.
Eno nga Teesu ih baat tahang, ‘Kah uh’ ‘tiimnge liidi an Ranglajatte loong reenah haloot nah kaat thuk ha.’”
22 And they hearkened unto him as far as this word, and lifted up their voice, saying—Away from the earth, with such a man as this, for it is not fit that he should live.
Miloong ah ih Pool jengkhaap ah maang thoon jengjeng eh boichaat rumta; eno erongwah ih riiraak rumta, “Phanhaat eh an! Tek haat eh an! Heh ething tong theethe tah angka!”
23 Now, as they were both making an outcry and tearing their mantles, —dust, also were throwing into the air,
Miloong ah riiraak rum ano, neng nyuh ah jap eh rumta, botbung ah rangkhoh ni wenhaat eh rumta.
24 the captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, saying, that, with scourging, he should be put to the test, —that he might find out, for what cause they were, thus, clamouring against him.
Room nok hah arami saahaap elong ah ih heh mina loong asuh Pool ah sipaahi loong tongtheng ni siitkaat thuk rumta, eno Pool thoidi Jehudi loong erah than tiimnge ih riiraak rumta ah jatjoot suh Pool ah botthuk rumta.
25 But, when they had stretched him out with straps, Paul said unto the by-standing centurion—A Roman, and uncondemned, is it allowed you to be scourging?
Enoothong bot esuh ngeh ih taatkit rum adi, heh reeni chapta saahaap asuh Pool ih chengta, “Heh thet re mat ah maang thaak hoonka doh Room nok hah ah mi botthom nih eh ah?”
26 And, when the centurion heard [that], he went unto the captain, and reported, saying—What art thou going to do? For, this man, is, a Roman?
Erah chaat ano saahaap ah, heh nang ih elong asuh cheng wangta, “Tiimjih hoon hu? Mih abah Room nok hah joh!”
27 And the captain, coming up, said to him—Tell me! Art, thou, a, Roman? And, he, said—Yea!
Eno saahaap elong ah ih Pool suh cheng kata, “Baat thaak hang, an Room nok hah nih ah?” “Ele” Pool ih ngaakbaatta.
28 And the captain answered—I, for a large sum, this citizenship acquired! And, Paul, said—But, I, am even, [free-] born!
Saahaap elong ah ih liita, “Ngah ebah Room nok hah eh hoon suh ngun rapne ih kotang.” Eno Pool ih liita, “Ngabah tup tahang dowa eh Room hate.”
29 Straightway, therefore, they who were about to put him to the test, withdrew from him; and, even the captain, was struck with fear, when he found out he was, a Roman, and because, him, he had bound.
Pool suh chengte loong ah erah damdam eh heh re dowa neng liko eh heng soon rumta; eno saahaap elong ah Room nok hah mokkhak hang ngeh ih rapne eh choota.
30 But, on the morrow, being minded to get to know the certainty as to why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the High-priests and all the High-council to come together; and, bringing down Paul, set him before them.
Saahaap elong ah ih Pool aju Jehudi loong ah ih tiim thoidi thet haat suh liiha ngeh ih jat suh taat liita; erah thoidi erah saalih adi Pool lak dowa jaanruh ah jaahaat thuk ano Romwah phokhoh nyia noksong loongtang chomui thuk suh baat rumta. Eno Pool siitkaat ano neng ngathong ni chap thukta.
