< 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,
Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Bawlos ku yidhi, Waa laguu fasaxay inaad nafsaddaada u hadashid. Kolkaasaa Bawlos gacantiisa fidiyey oo isdaafacay.
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.
Boqor Agribbow, waxaan isku tirinayaa mid faraxsan inaan maanta hortaada isaga daafaco waxyaalihii ay Yuhuuddu igu soo dacweeyeen oo dhan;
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.”
maxaa yeelay, adigu waxaad khusuusan xariif ku tahay caadooyinka iyo su'aalaha oo dhan oo Yuhuudda dhex yaalla; haddaba waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad ii dulqaadatid oo aad i maqashid.
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.
Yuhuuddu dhammaantoodba tan iyo yaraantaydii way wada yaqaaniin camalka noloshayda, taasoo bilowga aan kula dhex jiray quruuntayda oo aan Yeruusaalem la joogay.
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.
Haddii ay raalli ku yihiin inay ii marag furaan, iyaguba tan iyo horraantii aqoon bay u lahaayeen sidii aan ugu dhaqmi jiray dariiqada diintayada ugu qiiro adag anoo Farrisi ah.
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.
Haddaba waxaan haatan halkan u taaganahay in la ii xukumo rajadii ballankii Ilaah u qaaday awowayaashayo.
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!
Oo laba iyo tobankayaga qabiilba waxay Ilaah aad ugu adeegaan habeen iyo maalinba iyagoo rajaynaya in ay ballankaas helaan. Haddaba boqorow, Yuhuuddu waxay igu ashtakeeyeen wax rajadaas ku saabsan!
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]”
Haddii Ilaah kuwii dhintay soo sara kiciyo, bal maxaad ugu qaadataan wax aan la rumaysan karin?
9 “[Formerly] I, too, was sure that I should do everything that I could to oppose Jesus [MTY], the man from Nazareth [town].
Runtii aniga qudhayduba waxaan mooday inay waajib igu tahay inaan sameeyo waxyaalo badan oo wada khilaafsan magaca Ciisaha reer Naasared.
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].
Oo sidaasaan ku sameeyey Yeruusaalem; weliba waxaan xabsi ku xidhay kuwo badan oo quduusiin ah, anigoo amar ka wata wadaaddada sare, oo kolkii la dilayayba waan ku raacsanaa.
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.”
Oo marar badan ayaan iyaga ku ciqaabay sunagogyada oo dhan, oo waxaan qasbay inay caytamaan; oo intaan aad iyo aad ugu cadhooday, ayaan iyaga ku silciyey tan iyo xataa magaalooyin ajanabi.
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].
Oo markaan Dimishaq u sodcaalayay, boqorow, anigoo wata amarkii iyo dardaarankii wadaaddada sare,
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.
ayaan waxaan hadhkii arkay, intaan jidka marayay, iftiin samada ka baxaya oo qorraxda ka sii dhalaal dheer, oo ka iftiimaya hareerahayga aniga iyo kuwii ila socdayba.
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.’
Oo kolkii aannu dhammaantayo dhulka ku wada dhacnay, ayaan maqlay cod afka Cibraaniga ku hadlaya oo igu leh, Sawlosow, Sawlosow, maxaad ii silcinaysaa? Way kugu adag tahay inaad harraatidid wax ku muda.
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].
Markaasaan idhi, Yaad tahay Sayidow? Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ciisaha aad silcinaysid.
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.
Laakiin bal sara joogso, oo cagahaaga ku istaag; waayo, sababtan aawadeed ayaan kuugu muuqday inaan kaaga dhigo midiidin iyo markhaati waxyaalihii aad igu aragtay iyo waxyaalaha aan kuugu muuqan doonaba;
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
anigoo kaa samatabbixinaya dadka iyo quruumaha aan kuu diri doonaba,
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].”
inaad indhahooda furtid si ay gudcur uga soo jeestaan oo ay iftiinka ugu soo jeestaan, iyo inay ka soo leexdaan xoogga Shayddaanka oo ay Ilaah u yimaadaan, inay helaan dembidhaaf oo ay dhaxal la helaan kuwa quduus lagaga dhigay rumaysadka ay igu leeyihiin.
19 “So, King Agrippa, I fully obeyed [LIT] what [the Lord Jesus told me to do when he spoke to me] from heaven.
Sidaas daraaddeed, boqor Agribbow, kuma aan caasiyoobin riyadii samada ka timid;
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.”
laakiin waxaan horeba ugu sheegay kuwii joogay Dimishaq iyo Yeruusaalem iyo dalka Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo weliba dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, inay toobadkeenaan oo ay Ilaah u soo noqdaan, iyagoo samaynaya shuqullo toobad istaahila.
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.
Waxyaalahaas aawadood baa Yuhuuddu macbudka gudihiisa iigu qabteen, oo waxay isku dayeen inay i dilaan.
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.
Haddaba anigoo caawimaad ka helay xag Ilaah ayaan waxaan ilaa maanta u taaganahay inaan marag furo oo aan u sheego yar iyo weynba, anigoo aan innaba wax kale sheegayn wixii nebiyadii iyo Muuse ay sii sheegeen inay ahaan doonaan mooyaane;
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.”
taasoo ah in Masiixu xanuunsan doono, iyo sida isagoo ah kii kowaad oo kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kacay uu iftiin ugu naadin doono dadka iyo quruumahaba.
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!”
Oo intuu saas isu daafacayay, ayaa Feestos cod weyn ku dhawaaqay oo yidhi, Bawlosow, waad waalan tahay. Barashadaadii badnayd ayaa waalli kuu beddeshay.
25 But Paul answered, “Your Excellency, Festus, I am not raving [insanely]. On the contrary, what I am saying is true and sensible!
Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Feestoskii aad u sarreeyeyow, anigu ma aan waalni, laakiin waxaan ku hadlayaa erayo run ah iyo feeyignaan.
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].”
Waayo, boqorka aan ikhtiyaar ula hadlayaa wuu garanayaa waxyaalahan; waayo, anigu waxaan hubaa inaan waxyaalahan midkoodna uusan isaga ka qarsoonayn; waayo, waxyaalahan laguma samayn meel qarsoon.
27 Then Paul asked, “King Agrippa, do you believe [what] the prophets [wrote]? I know that you [(sg)] believe it.”
Boqor Agribbow, nebiyadii ma rumaysan tahay? Waan ogahay inaad rumaysan tahay.
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]
Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Bawlos ku yidhi, Wax yar baad igu oggolaysiinaysaa inaan Masiixi noqdo.
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].”
Kolkaasaa Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan Ilaah ka dooni lahaa in, haddii ay tahay wax yar iyo haddii ay tahay wax badan, ayan ahayn adiga oo keliya, laakiin in, inta maanta i maqlaysaa oo dhammu, ay wada noqdaan sida aan ahay oo kale, silsiladahan mooyaane.
30 Then the king, the governor, Bernice, and all the others got up
Markaasaa boqorkii kacay iyo taliyihii iyo Bernikee iyo kuwii la fadhiyey oo dhammu;
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].”
oo kolkii ay baxeen ayaa midba midkii kale la hadlay, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ninkanu innaba ma uu samayn wax istaahila dhimasho iyo silsilado toona.
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}.”
Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Feestos ku yidhi, Ninkan waa la sii dayn kari lahaa haddii uusan Kaysar u ashtakoon.
