Acts 26
1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You [(sg)] are permitted [now] to speak [to defend] yourself.” Paul stretched out his hand ([dramatically/to salute the king]) and began to defend himself. He said,
Kinuna ngarud ni Agripa kenni Pablo, “Mabalinka nga agsao para iti bagim.” Kalpasanna, inyunnat ni Pablo ti imana ken inkalinteganna ti bagina.
2 “King Agrippa, I consider that I am fortunate that today, while you [(sg)] listen, I can defend myself from all the things about which the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] are accusing me.
“Ibilangko ti bagik a naragsak, Ari Agripa, a mangsungbat iti nakaidarumak iti sangoanam ita nga aldaw, a maibusor kadagiti amin a pammabasol dagiti Judio;
3 I am really fortunate, because you [(sg)] know all about the customs of us Jews and the questions that we [(exc)] argue about. So I ask you, please listen patiently to what I say.”
nangnangruna, gapu ta nalaingka kadagiti amin a kaugalian dagiti Judio ken kadagiti saludsod. Isu a dawatek kenka nga anusannak a denggen.
4 “Many [HYP] of my fellow Jews know about how I have conducted my life, from the time I was a child. They know how I lived in the area where I [was born] and [also later] in Jerusalem.
Pudno, ammo dagiti amin a Judio no kasanoak a nagbiag manipud iti kinaagtutubok iti bukodko a pagilian ken idiay Jerusalem.
5 They have known for many years, and they could tell you, if they wanted to, that [since I was very young] I obeyed the customs of our religion very carefully, just like the [other] Pharisees do.
Am-ammodak manipud pay idi damo ken rumbeng nga aklunenda a nagbiagak a kas Pariseo, maysa a nainget unay a sekta iti relihionmi.
6 Today I am being put on trial {[they] are putting me on trial} because I am confidently expecting that God will do what he promised our [(exc)] ancestors.
Ita agtakderak ditoy tapno maukom gapu ta birbirukek ti kari nga inkari ti Dios kadagiti amaenmi.
7 Our twelve tribes are [also] confidently waiting for God to do [for us what he promised], as they respectfully worship him, day and night. [Respected] king, I confidently expect [that God will do what he promised, and they also believe that! But that is the reason] that these Jewish leaders [SYN] are accusing me!
Ta daytoy ti kari a namnamaen dagiti sangapulo ket dua a pulimi a maawatda, iti sipapasnek a panagrukbabda iti Dios iti rabii ken aldaw. Gapu iti daytoy a namnama, Ari Agrippa, nga indarumdak dagiti Judio.
8 They believe that God can cause those who have died to become alive again, so (why [do any of you refuse to believe that he raised Jesus from the dead?/none of you should refuse to believe that he raised Jesus from the dead!]) [RHQ]”
Apay a panunoten ti siasinoman kadakayo a saan a nakapapati a pagungaren ti Dios dagiti natay?
9 “[Formerly] I, too, was sure that I should do everything that I could to oppose Jesus [MTY], the man from Nazareth [town].
Iti maysa a tiempo, impagarupko a masapul nga agaramidak iti adu a banbanag a maibusor iti nagan ni Jesus ti Nasaret.
10 So that is what I did [when I lived] in Jerusalem. I put many of the believers in jail, as the chief priests there had authorized me [to do]. When [the Jewish leaders wanted] those Christians killed {someone to kill those [Christians]}, I voted [for that].
Inaramidko daytoy idiay Jerusalem; pinaibaludko ti adu a sasanto idiay pagbaludan, ken addaanak iti pammalubos manipud kadagiti panguloen a papadi nga aramidek daytoy; ket idi a napapatayda, intedko pay iti panangayonko iti maibusor kadakuada.
11 Many times I punished the believers [whom I found] in Jewish meeting places. [By punishing them], I tried to force them to speak evil [about Jesus]. I was so angry with the followers of Jesus that I even traveled to other cities to [find them and] do things to harm them.”
Masansan iti panangdusak kadakuada kadagiti amin a sinagoga ken pinadasko a pagtabbaawen ida. Kasta unay ti pungtotko kadakuada ket kinamkamatko ida uray pay kadagiti sabali a siudad.
12 “[One day], I was on my way to Damascus [city] to do that. The chief priests [in Jerusalem] had authorized and sent me [to seize the believers there].
Kabayatan nga ar-aramidek daytoy, napanak idiay Damasco nga addaan turay ken bilbilin manipud kadagiti panguloen a papadi;
13 [My respected] king, [while I was going] along the road, at about noon I saw a [bright] light in the sky. It was even brighter than the sun! It shone all around me, and also around the men who were traveling with me.
ket iti dalan a mapan sadiay, iti tengga ti aldaw, apo Ari, nakakitaak iti lawag manipud langit a nalawlawag ngem iti init ken linawaganna ti aglawlawmi kadagiti tattao a kaduak nga agdaldaliasat.
14 We [(exc)] all fell to the ground. Then I heard the voice of someone speaking to me in my own Hebrew language [MTY]. He said ‘Saul, Saul, (stop causing me to suffer!/why are you causing me to suffer?) [RHQ] You [(sg)] are [hurting yourself by trying to hurt me] [MET], [like an ox] kicking against [its owner’s] goad.’
Idi natumbakami amin iti daga, nakangngegak iti maysa a timek nga agsasao kaniak a kinunana iti pagsasao a Hebreo, “Saulo, Saulo, apay nga idaddadanesnak? Pakarigatam ti panangkugtarmo iti natirad a ruting.
15 Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘I am Jesus. You [(sg)] are harming me [by harming my followers].
Kalpasanna kinunak, 'Siasinoka, Apo?' Simmungbat ti Apo, 'Siak ni Jesus nga idaddadanesmo.
16 But instead [of continuing to do that], stand up now! I have appeared to you [(sg)] to tell you that I have chosen you to serve me. You must tell people about [what I am showing you] as you are seeing me [now], and about what I [will show you when] I will [later] appear to you.
Ita bumangonka ket tumakderka; nagparangak kenka gapu iti daytoy a panggep, tapno dutokanka nga agbalin nga adipen ken maysa a saksi maipapan kadagiti banbanag nga ammom, maipanggep kaniak ita ken kadagiti banbanag nga ipakitakto kenka iti mabiit;
17 I will protect you [from those who will try to harm you, both] your own people and [also] those who are not Jewish. I am sending you to non-Jews
ken ispalenkanto manipud kadagiti tattao ken manipud kadagiti Hentil a pangibabaonak kenka,
18 to help them to realize [MTY] what is true and to stop believing what is false [MET]. I am sending you to them so that they may let God control them and not let Satan control them any more. [Then God] will forgive their sins and will accept them as his people because they believe in me.’ [That is what Jesus said to me].”
tapno lukatam dagiti matmatada ken tapno pagtallikudem ida manipud iti sipnget a mapan iti lawag ken manipud iti pannakabalin ni Satanas a maiturongda iti Dios, tapno iti kasta ket maawatda manipud iti Dios ti pammakawan dagiti basbasol ken ti tawid nga intedko kadakuada nga inlasinko para iti bagik babaen iti panamati kaniak.
19 “So, King Agrippa, I fully obeyed [LIT] what [the Lord Jesus told me to do when he spoke to me] from heaven.
Ngarud, Ari Agrippa, saanko a sinalungasing ti nainlangitan a sirmata;
20 First, I preached to [the Jews] in Damascus. Then I [preached to the Jews] in Jerusalem and throughout [the rest of] Judea [province]. After that, I also preached to non-Jews. I preached that they must turn away from their sinful behavior and turn their lives over to God. I told them that they must do things that would show that they had truly stopped their sinful behavior.”
ngem, umuna kadagidiay adda iti Damasco, ken kalpasanna iti Jerusalem, ken iti entero a pagilian ti Judea, ken kasta met kadagiti Hentil, nangasabaak a nasken nga agbabawida ken agsublida iti Dios, nga agaramidda kadagiti banbanag a napateg, a mangipakita iti panagbabawi.
21 “It is because I [preached] this message [that some] [SYN] Jews seized me [when I was] in the Temple [courtyard and] tried to kill me.
Ta gapu iti daytoy tiniliwdak dagiti Judio idiay templo ken pinadasdak a patayen.
22 However, God has been helping me [from that time, and he is still helping me] today. So I stand here and I tell [all of you people], those who are important and those who are not, [who Jesus is]. Everything that I say [about him] is what Moses and the [other] prophets wrote [about long ago, things that they said] would happen.
Tinulongannak ti Dios agingga ita, isu nga agtakderak ken ipaduyakyakko kadagiti kadawyan a tattao ken kadagiti natatan-ok ti maipanggep iti ad-adu pay ngem ti imbaga ni Moises ken dagiti profeta a mapasamak,
23 They wrote that [people would cause] the Messiah to suffer and die. They also wrote that he would be the first person to become alive again, to proclaim [the message that would be like] light, [that he would save] both [his own Jewish] people and non-Jewish people.”
a masapul nga agsagaba ti Cristo, ken isuna ti umuna a mapagungar manipud iti patay ken iwaragawagna ti silaw kadagiti tattao a Judio ken kadagiti Hentil.
24 Before Paul could say anything [further] to defend himself, Festus shouted: “Paul, you are crazy! You have studied too much, and it has made you insane!”
Idi nalpasen ni Pablo ti panangikalinteganna, binugkawan isuna ni Festo, “Pablo, agmauyongka; pinagbalinnaka nga agmauyong ti nangato nga adalmo.”
25 But Paul answered, “Your Excellency, Festus, I am not raving [insanely]. On the contrary, what I am saying is true and sensible!
Ngem kinuna ni Pablo, “Saanak nga agmauyong, kalaingan a Festo; ngem agsaoak nga addaan tured kadagiti sasao a pudno ken maiparbeng.
26 King Agrippa knows the things [that I have been talking about], and I can speak confidently to him [about them]. I am sure that he knows [LIT] these things, because people everywhere [IDM] have heard [LIT] about what happened [to Jesus].”
Ta ammo ti ari ti maipanggep kadagitoy a banbanag; ket isu a nagsaoak a siwawaya kenkuana, ta pudno nga awan kadagitoy ti nailimed manipud kenkuana; ta saan daytoy a nalpas iti suli.
27 Then Paul asked, “King Agrippa, do you believe [what] the prophets [wrote]? I know that you [(sg)] believe it.”
Mamatika kadi dagiti profeta, Ari Agripa? Ammok a mamatika.”
28 Then Agrippa [answered] Paul, “([I hope that you(sg)] do not think that by the few things [that you have just now said] you can persuade me to become a Christian!/You do not think, [do you], that by the few things [that you have just now said] you can persuade me to become a Christian?)” [RHQ]
Kinuna ni Agripa kenni Pablo, “Allukoyennak kadi iti ababa a tiempo ken pagbalinennak a Kristiano?”
29 Paul replied, “Whether it takes a short time or a long time, it does not matter. I pray to God that you and also all of the others who are listening to me today will also [believe in Jesus] like I do, but I do not want you to become prisoners [MTY] [like I am].”
Kinuna ni Pablo, “Agkararagak iti Dios, nga uray iti ababa a tiempo, saan laeng koma a sika, ngem uray pay ti amin a dumngeg kaniak ita nga aldaw, ket agbalin a kas kaniak, ngem awanan kadagitoy kawar iti pagbaludan.”
30 Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others got up
Kalpasanna, timmakder ti Ari ken ti gobernador ken uray pay ni Bernice, ken dagiti nakitugtugaw kadakuada;
31 and left [the room. While] they were talking to one another they said to each other, “There is no reason why (the authorities/we) should execute this man, or that he should even be kept in prison [MTY].”
idi nakapanawdan iti siled, nagsasaritada ket kinunada, “Awan ti naaramid daytoy a tao a rumbeng a pakatayanna wenno pakaibaludanna.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “If this man had not asked that the Emperor judge him, he could have been released {[we(inc)] could have released him}.”
Kinuna ni Agripa kenni Festo, “Mawayawayaan koma daytoy a tao no saan isuna a kimmamang kenni Cesar.”
