Acts 26
1 And, Agrippa, to Paul, said—It is permitted thee, on thine own behalf, to be speaking. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, went on to make his defence.
Agrippa ih Pool suh liita, “An teeteewah tiit jen baat eh uh.” Pool heh lak ah janghaat ano heteewah tiit ah amah baatta:
2 Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, King Agrippa, I have been counting myself happy, that, before thee, am I about, this day, to be making my defence;
“Agrippa Luuwang! Nga teeteewah suh khangraangse liihang chiinnyah ngah an ngathong ni chap angno Jehudi loong ih mat eh deejoh halang tiit ah baat hang,
3 especially, as thou art, well-versed, in all the Jewish customs and questions. Wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently, to hear me.
Jehudi rom arang nyia rookmui jengmui ah an ih rapniine ih jat hu, erah thoidi, nga jeng ah naririh eh boichaat weeuh.
4 My manner of life, then, from my youth, which, from its commencement, was formed among my nation, even in Jerusalem, know all Jews,
“Jehudi mina loongtang ih jat eha jaaro dowa eh ngah mamah eh songtong lang. Nga roidong tang mamah eh songlang neng ih jat eha, nga hah ni mamah songtang, erah lidi Jerusalem ni mamah eh songlang.
5 inasmuch as they were aforetime observing me, from the outset, —if they please to bear witness, —that, according to the strictest sect of our own religion, I lived, a Pharisee.
Ngah ih liihang ah langla, nga tiit ah neng ih ejen baat eh ah, neng ih jirep ah ejat, jaakhoh ni ngah Pharisi rom arang ah kap angno songtong tang.
6 And, now, for the hope of the promise, unto our fathers, being brought to pass by God, am I standing to be judged, —
Eno ngah adi chaplang abah sengte sengwah suh Rangte ih kakhamta suh laalom thoidi—
7 unto which [hope], our twelve-tribed nation, with intensity, night and day, rendering divine service, is hoping to attain—concerning which hope, I am being accused by Jews, O King!
seng mina asih jaatnyi ih erah chosuh laalomla, erah raangtaan ih rangwu rangphe Rangte rangsoom rumha. Luuwang, erah suh laalom thoidi ba, Jehudi loong ih mat eh joh rum halang!
8 What! incredible, is it judged with you, that, God the dead doth raise?
Arah di tongte sen loong ah ih tek nawa Rangte ih ngaaksaat thukta tiit hanpi ah mamah eh chaan chohan?
9 I, therefore, imagined to myself, that, against the name of Jesus the Nazarene, it was needful, many hostile things, to bring about, —
“Nga teewah ih uh Najaret dowa Jisu tiit ah emah ju eh daan tang.
10 which also I did in Jerusalem, yea and, many of the saints, I myself, in prisons, shut up, —the authority, from the High-priests, having received: and, when they were to be put to death, I brought against them my vote;
Jerusalem ni ngah emamah eh reeraang tang. Rangte mina loong ah phaatak ni jootsak suh nyia tek haat esuh Romwah phokhoh loong jiin nawa chaan aphaan ah thaang etang; eno neng loong ah tek haat etheng ngeh ih liirum abah ngah ih uh emah ju roong jengtang.
11 and, throughout all the synagogues, ofttimes punishing them, I would fain have compelled them to defame; and, being excessively maddened against them, I went on to pursue them as far as even the outlying cities.
Neng phaangphak suh nyia Jisu laalom toihaat thuk suh li leh Jehudi rangsoomnok noongrep ni hedop hedop siiwi rumtang. Rangte miloong asuh rathan eh kakhadah tang mideek mikaan ni nep kaleh kasiiwi rumtang.
12 Among which things, being on a journey unto Damascus, with the authority and commission of the High-priests,
“Romwah phokhoh jiin nawa chaan aphaan ah thaang angno Damaskas ni taat katang aju erah raangtaan ih kaat dowa.
13 at mid-day, on the road, I saw, O King, from heaven, above the splendour of the sun, shining around me, a light, and [around] them who, with me, were journeying;
Eno Luuwang, rangnithung di, seng loong ah lam ni khoom ih di, rangsa nang eju ephaak weephaak arah tuptang, rang nawa phaak ra haano nga damdi kaatte miloong ah nep eh kaangtookta.
14 and, when we were all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice, saying unto me, in the Hebrew language—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting? It is hard for thee, against goads, to be kicking!
Seng loong ah hah ni loongdatti, eno Hebru jenglam eh ngasuh liihang rah miroot japchaat tang, ‘Sool, Sool! An ih ngah tiim esuh siiwi halang? An teeteewah ih an tamkong ni buhu, maan ih heh changte wah chaanthah pitnak ah likhiik eh ah,’
15 And, I, said—Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said—I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!
‘Teesu an o ang weelu?’ Ngah ih emah ih cheng tang. Eno Teesu ih emah ngaakli tahang, ‘Ngah Jisu, an ih siiwi halang rah ah.
16 But rise and stand upon thy feet; for, to this end, have I appeared unto thee, —To appoint thee an attendant and a witness, both of the things as to which thou hast seen me, and of those as to which I will appear unto thee:
An lah nah toonchap uh. Nga jeng chaatte toom ang ah ngeh ih an poon suh dong halang. Chiinnyah an ih ngah mamah eh tup halang adoleh liwang nah tiim jaat noisok ha erah tiit ah mih suh tumbaat theng.
17 Rescuing thee from among the people, and from among the nations, unto whom, I, am sending thee—
An mina Ijirel noksong nyia Ranglajatte lak nawa ngah ih pangha. An ih neng mik ah
18 To open their eyes; that they turn from darkness unto light, and the authority of Satan unto God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among them who have been made holy by the faith respecting me.
singsiit uno rangnak nawa rangwu nah doksiit theng adoleh Soitaan reenawa Rangte reenah thoksiit theng, timnge liidoh neng ngasuh tuumaang jun eh neng rangdah ah saasiit suh nyia Rangte ih jeeta mina loong damdoh choh tong suh ah.’
19 Wherefore, O King Agrippa, —I became not disobedient unto the heavenly vision;
“Erah raangtaan ih, Agrippa Luuwang, rang nawa tuptang motmang ah ngah ih tadaan tang.
20 But—both to them in Damascus, first, and in Jerusalem, unto all the country of Judaea also, and unto the nations, I carried tidings—that they should repent, and turn unto God, and, works worthy of their repentance, should practise.
Jaakhoh thoon ah Jerusalem nyia Damaskas hah ni erah lidi Ranglajatte mina loong suh Judia hah noongrep ni Rangte tiit ah tumbaat tang, neng rangdah sekthun ano Rangte reenah thok suh ah erah damdi sekthun ih hi ngeh ih noisok suh baat rumtang.
21 Because of these things, Jews seized me in the temple, and were attempting to slay me with their own hands.
Erah thoidi ba, rangsoomnok ni ang angdi Jehudi loong ah ih jorum hangno tek haat taatchung rum tahang.
22 So then, having met with, the help that is from God, until this day, do I stand, witnessing to both small and great, nothing else saying, than those things which both the prophets, and Moses, did say should certainly come to pass: —
Enoothong amadi tuk ih Rangte ih chosok roh eh halang, erah raangtaan ih mihak noodek thoontang ngathong ni adi Rangte eje ngeh ih baat suh toonchap lang. Khowah nyia Moses ih mamah re theng banbaatta ngah ih uh phoosiitsiit tiit ah baat hang:
23 If, to suffer, the Christ was destined, if, the first of a resurrection of the dead, he is about to carry tidings, of light, both unto the people, and unto the nations.
Erah langla Kristo ah chamnaang jaatjaat etheng, eno Jehudi nyia Ranglajatte loong ah ih khopiiroidong chosuh heh tek nawa phang ngaaksaat ah.”
24 Now, as he was saying these things in his defence, Festus, with a loud voice, saith—Thou art raving, Paul! Thy great learning, is turning thee round unto, raving madness.
Pool ih heteewah tiit emah taatbaat adi, Phestas ah Pool taangko sok ano erongwah ih riita, “Emok anglu hanih, Pool! Ehanmi eh nyootsoot kuh ih mokpaang lu!”
25 But Paul—I am not raving (saith he), most noble Festus, —but, the declarations of truth and soberness, am I sounding forth:
Pool ngaak jengta, “Emok tah angkang, an ba elong! Ngah amiisak tiit ah baat hang.
26 For well-knoweth, the king, concerning these things, unto whom, with boldness of utterance, am I speaking; for, that these things are not hidden from him, I am well persuaded, —for, not in a corner, hath this thing been done.
Agrippa Luuwang! Ngah an damdoh lacho laphaan jen roongwaan ehang, timnge liidi an ih jirep ah jat eho. Ngah ih an suh kamkam ih tuumaang hala, arah miloong ah ih tiimjih hoonha erah jat eh hu ngeh ah, timnge liidi arah tiit ah hesuk henoong ni tahoonka.
27 Believest thou, King Agrippa, in the prophets? I know that thou believest!
Agrippa Luuwang, Khowah ah hanpi nih ehu? Ngah ih jat ehang an ih hanpi ehu.”
28 And, Agrippa, [said] unto Paul—Almost, art thou persuading, me, to become a, Christian!
Agrippa ih Pool suh liita, “An ih ngah amah ih Kristaan eh hoon thuk ang nih mok samthun hu?”
29 And, Paul, [answered] —I could pray unto God that, both almost and altogether, not only thou but all they who are hearing me this day, might become such, —as even, I, am, excepting these bonds.
Pool ngaakjengta, “Dot doh angkoja oh adoleh rekam lidoh angkoja oh “Ngah ih Rangte rangsoom hang ah an luulu lah angthang eh o ih nga jeng boichaat ha erah loong ah nep nga likhiik eh hoon theng chiinnyah jaanruh ih khak halang thoidoh ah.”
30 And the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and they who had been sitting with them;
Eno Luuwang, kobono, Barnis nyia wahoh loong ah toonchapta,
31 And, retiring, they began conversing one with another, saying, Nothing worthy of death or of bonds, doth this man practise.
doksoon karum ano roongwaan karumta, “Arah mih ah phaatak nah saktheng nyia heh tekjih bah tiim uh tathet reeka.”
32 And, Agrippa, unto Festus, said—This man might have been released, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
Eno Agrippa ih Phestas suh liita, “Luuwanglong lasih lajota bah arah mih ah jen doksoon eh thengta.”
