Acts 26
1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and made his defense.
Agrip' P'awlossh, «N took jangosh keewundek'etuok'o taaro neesh imere» bíet, Pawlosuwere b́kisho jargdek't hank'o ett keewut aani b́dek'i.
2 “I regard myself as happy, King Agrippa, to make my case before you today against all the accusations of the Jews;
«Nugúso Agrip'o! Ayhudiwots taan bos'aamits keewujamosh hambets nshinatse keewur aani tdek'or ayiniye t geneúwiri.
3 especially, because you are an expert in all the Jewish customs and questions. So I ask you to hear me patiently.
Bítsnowere nee ayhudiwots niwonat moosh jamo t'iwintsdek'at danfnee, mansh k'amoon taan nk'ebetuwok'o neen k'onirwe.
4 Truly, all the Jews know how I lived from my youth in my own nation and at Jerusalem.
«Na'ortson tuwat awuk'o t beetsok'owo ayhudiwots danfnee, shintson tuwat tiash ashi dagotsnat Iyerusalemitse t be beyo danfnee.
5 They knew me from the beginning and they should admit that I lived as a Pharisee, the strictest party of our religion.
Ando aani gawo bogeyiyal no haymanotiwotse kup'idek'at nonemo kotiru kayuwotsitse ferisawi wotat tbewok'owo shintson detst danfnee.
6 Now I stand here to be judged because of my certain hope in the promise made by God to our fathers.
Andmó angshosh hanok tneed'ir Ik'o nonihotssh taart b́ imts b́ jangiitsoshee.
7 For this is the promise that our twelve tribes sought to receive as they earnestly worshiped God night and day. It is for this certain hope, King Agrippa, that the Jews accuse me.
Jangiyetsanok bodosh no jir tatse gituwots Ik'o t'uwe aawo Ik'ifetstni bokotfo, Nugúsono! taawor ayhudiwotsn taan bos'aamits jangiyetsan jangatsne.
8 Why should any of you think it is unbelievable that God raises the dead?
Ik'o k'irtswotsi b́tuuzitwok'o eegoshe itoke amano maawek b́woti?
9 Now indeed, I myself thought that I should do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
«Taa t tookish Nazrettso Iyesus shútso tfaltsok'on k'efo taash geyife etaat asaabefe b́teshi.
10 I did these in Jerusalem. I locked up many of the saints in prison by the authority I received from the chief priests, and when they were killed, I cast my vote against them.
Iyerusalemitse tk'altsonúwere haniye b́teshi, kahni naashuwotsoke t dek'ts alon amantsuwotsitse ayuwots tipimoots bokindituwok'o k'alre, boon boúd'orowere úd'iruwotsnton ik wotere.
11 I punished them many times in all the synagogues and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was furiously enraged against them and I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Ayoto ayhudiwots Ik' k'oni mootse boon jod'r doonzo boc'ashetuwok'o woshfee, boon ayide fayarnuwere k'osh úratsi kituwotsokor kesh amaat boon giishefe.
12 While I was doing this, I went to Damascus with authority and orders from the chief priests;
«Han jangosho kahni naash jamwotsoke alonat tzaziyo dek'at Demask'o maants tí amifere tteshi.
13 and on the way there, at midday, King, I saw a light from heaven that was brighter than the sun and it shone around both me and the men who were traveling with me.
Nugúsono! weeratse t befere aawu taalon aawu sháánoniyere bogo sháánts shááno tbek'i, sháánanuwere tiyatso taanton sha'irwots gúúratso darotse sháániyi b́k'ri.
14 When we all fell to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me that said in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick a goad.'
Noúnetswere datsats dih s'uwat nobefere ayhudiwots noon keewu keewon ‹Sawul! Sawulo! eegishe taan ngishiri? Shiki shashats nned'iyal neesh b́ gonditi!› etiru k'ááro tshishi.
15 Then I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' The Lord replied, 'I am Jesus whom you persecute.
Taawere ‹Doonzono! nee kone?› tieti, doozonuwere, taash hank'o bíeti, ‹Taa nee ngishiruwo Iyesus taane.
16 Now get up and stand on your feet; because for this purpose I appeared to you, to appoint you to be a servant and a witness concerning the things that you know about me now and the things that I will show to you later;
Andmó tuur n tufoon need'owe, taa neesh tbe'eyiye and taan nbek'tsannat shino maants neesh tbe'et keewosh gútsonat gawo nwotitsh tgetsotsne.
17 and I will rescue you from the people and from the Gentiles to whom I am sending you,
Israe'el ash ashuwotsnat bo maants neen twoshit Ik' danawu ashuwots kishotse neen farituwe.
18 to open their eyes and to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive from God the forgiveness of sins and the inheritance that I give to them who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Bo aawo n k'eshituwok'onat t'aluwotse shááno maants nkishituwok'o Shed'anosh keeweewotsno Ik'o maants ni aanituwok'o woshituwe, boowere taan bo amantsi jangon bo morrosh orowa eto daatsitune, galdek'etsuwotsnton ritstiyo kaydek'etune.›
19 Therefore, King Agrippa, I did not disobey the heavenly vision;
«Eshe nugúso Agrip'o! daaratse taash imets bek'osh k'aztso woteratse.
20 but, to those in Damascus first, and then at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, I gave them the message that that they should repent and turn to God, doing deeds worthy of repentance.
Ernmó shino Demask'on fa'a ashuwotsi, maants dabat Iyerusalemnat Yhud dats jamatse, Ik' danawu ashuwotsi naandrone err Ik'o maants bo aanituwok'o tdaniyi, naandrone boettsok'ono kitsit fino bo finituwok'o boon tdani.
21 For this cause the Jews arrested me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Han jangosh ayhudiyots Ik'i mootse t befere taan detsdek't úd'osh boeti.
22 God has helped me until now, so I stand and testify to the common people and to the great ones about nothing more than what the prophets and Moses said would happen—
Hambetsish b́borfetsosh Ik' tep'o tiyatse k'aleratse, manshe múk'osho enosho gawefetsat hanoke ned'iruwe, nebiyiwotsnat Musen shino hank'o wotituwe boetts keewo keewoniyere okoon k'osho eegoru keewuratse.
23 that Christ must suffer and that by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to our own people and to the Gentiles.”
Bowere bokeewu ‹Mesihiyo gond bek'o dek'etuwe, k'irotse tuwonowere shintso wotar kashi sháánono Israe'el ashuwotsnat Ik'i ash woterawwotsnsh kitsituwe› ettniye.»
24 As Paul completed his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are insane; your great learning makes you insane.”
P'awlos man keewoke b́befere Fist'os «P'awloso! ando geewutsernee, ay ndano neen geyomants betsk'rere!» ett kuhat b́keewi.
25 But Paul said, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus, but what I am declaring is true and rational.
P'awlosmó hank'o ett bíaniyi, «Ayidek' shiimetso Fist'oso! arikonat kaawu keewoni tkeewiri bako geeyaliye tgeyi.
26 For the king knows about these things; and so, I speak freely to him, for I am persuaded that none of this is hidden from him; for this has not been done in a corner.
B́ shinatse keewan tkeewiru nugúso keewan danfee. Hanwere ashon k'alerawo b́wottsotse nugúso b́dantsok'owo danfee.
27 Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
Nugúso Agrip'o! nebiyiwotsi amanirunosha? Ni'amaniruwok'o danfee.»
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time would you persuade me and make me a Christian?”
Agrip'were P'awlossh, «Nee k'awun sa'atanitse taan krstiyani woshk'rishale» bí eti.
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether in a short or long time, not you only, but also all that hear me today, would be like me, but without these prison chains.”
P'awloswere, «K'awun gizewotse wotowa geenz gizewotse n s'uzi b́woterawon hamnbets tkeewuts keewo shishts jamo t tipeyaniyere okoon taank'o bowotish Ik'o k'oniruwe!» bí eti.
30 Then the king stood up, and the governor, and Bernice also, and those who were sitting with them;
Haniyere hakon nugúso, altsonat Bernik'ewu bonton bedek't teshts ash jamwots k'az botuwi.
31 when they left the hall, they talked to one another and said, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Manoke kesht boamferowe, «Ashaan k'irosh wee tipewosh bín betsituwo eegoru k'alratse» boeti.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been freed if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Agrip'were Fist'ossh, «Ashaan Rom nugúsoke tkeewo taash s'iilewe eto b́ k'azink'ere hank'on fakshk'ryank'e» bí eti.
