Oihana 22
1 E NA kanaka, na hoahanan, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka'u olelo hoakaka ia oukou.
Brethren and fathers, hear the defence which I make to you.
2 (A lohe lakou i kana olelo ana mai ia lakou ma ka olelo Hebera, hooneoneo loa iho la lakou; a i mai la ia, )
And when they heard that Hebrew he was speaking with them, the more they ceased; and he said to them,
3 He kanaka Iudaio no wau i hanauia ma Tareso i Kilikia, ma keia kulanakauhale nae au i hauaiia'i, ma na wawae o Gamaliela, ua aoia au mamuli o ke kanawai ikaika o na makua: ikaika loa no hoi au i ke Akua, e like me oukou i keia la.
I am a man a Jihudoya; and I was born in Tarsos of Cilicia, but was brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and instructed perfectly in the law of our fathers. And I was zealous for Aloha, even as all of you are also.
4 Hana ino aku au a make ko keia aoao, me ka paa aku i na kane a me na wahine, a me ka haawi ia lakou i na halepaahao.
And this way I persecuted unto the death, while I bound and delivered to the house of the bound both men and women;
5 Ua ike pono ke kahuna nui, a me ka papa a pau o na lunakahiko; na lakou ka'u palapala i loaa mai ai no na hoahanau, a hele au ma Damaseko, e lawe mai i ka poe paa malaila i Ierusalema, i hoopaiia lakou.
as the chief of the priests can testify of me, and all the elders, that from them I received letters to go to the brethren who were in Darmsuk, that also them who were there I should bring to Urishlem bound, that they might be fined.
6 A i ko'u hele ana a kokoke i Damaseko, i ke awakea, anapu koke mai la ka malamalama nui, mai ka lani mai, a puni au.
And as I went, and began to approach Darmsuk in the dividing of the day, suddenly from heaven there shone upon me a great light,
7 A hina iho la au i ka lepo, a lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?
and I fell upon the earth, and heard a voice, which said to me, Shaol, Shaol, why persecutest thou me?
8 I aku la au, E ka Haku e, owai oe? I mai la kela ia'u, O Iesu no wau no Nazareta, ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.
But I answered and said, Who art thou, my Lord? And he said to me, I am Jeshu Natsroya, whom thou persecutest!
9 A ike aku la ka poe me au i ka malamalama, a makau iho la; aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u.
And the men who were with me saw the light, but the voice they understood not which spake with me.
10 I aku la au, E ka Haku e, heaha ka'u e hana'i? I mai la ka Haku ia'u, E ku, a e hele i Damaseko, a malaila e haiia mai ai ia oe na mea a pau i hoomakaukauia'i nau e hana'i.
And I said, What shall I do, my Lord? And he said to me, Arise, go into Darmsuk, and there shall it be told thee of whatever it is commanded thee to do.
11 A i ka hiki ole ana ia'u ke ike, no ka nani o ia malamalama, alakai lima ia'ku au e ko'u poe hoahele, a hiki i Dameseko.
And while I could not see because of the glory of that light, they who were with me took me by my hands, and I entered Darmsuk.
12 A o Anania, he kanaka haipule ma ke kanawai, i hoike pono ia e na Iudaio a pau i noho ilaila,
And a man, one Hanania, righteous in the law, as the Jihudoyee who were there testified of him,
13 Oia ka i hele mai ia'u, ku mai, i mai ia'u, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, e ike oe. Ia hora no ike aku la au ia ia.
came to me, and said to me, Shaol, my brother, open thine eyes. And in a moment my eyes were opened, and I beheld him.
14 I mai la ia, Ua koho mai ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna ia oe, i ike oe i kona makemake, a e ike aku hoi i ka Mea pono, a e lohe hoi i ka leo o kona waha.
And he said to me, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see that Just One, and to hear the voice from his lips,
15 No ka mea, e lilo ana oe i mea hoike nona i kanaka a pau, ma na mea au i ike ai, a i lohe ai no hoi.
that thou mayest be a witness to all men of all that thou hast seen and heard.
16 Ano hoi, e aha ana? E ku iluna, e bapetizoia, e holoi aku i kou hewa, a e hea aku i ka inoa o ka Haku.
And now why delayest thou? Arise, baptize, and be washed from thy sins, while thou callest his Name.
17 A i ko'u hoi hou ana mai i Ierusalema nei, i ka'u pule ana maloko o ka luakini, loaa ia'u ka hihio;
And being returned, I came hither to Urishlem. And I prayed in the temple.
18 A ike aku la au ia ia i ka i ana mai ia'u, E wiki oe, a e hele koke oe mawaho o Ierusalema nei; no ka mea, aole lakou nei e malama mai i ka mea au e hoike aku ai no'u.
And I saw him in a vision, when he said to me, Hasten, and remove thee from Urishlem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 I aku la au, E ka Haku e, ua ike no lakou, owau no ka mea i hookomo iloko o ka halepaahao, a hahau aku la maloko o na halehalawai, i ka manaoio aku ia oe:
And I said, My Lord, they know also how I delivered to the house of the bound, and smote in all the synagogues, those who have believed in thee.
20 A i hookaheia'i hoi ke koko o Setepano, o kou mea hoike, e ku ana no wau malaila me ka ae aku i kona make, a na'u no i malama ka aahu o ka poe i pepehi ia ia.
And when the blood of thy martyr Estephanos was shed, I also stood with them, and fulfilled the will of his murderers, and kept the garments of them who stoned him.
21 I mai la kela ia'u, O hele; no ka mea, e hoouna aku ana au ia oe i kahi loihi aku, i ko na aina e.
And he said to me, Go: for I send thee far away to preach to the Gentiles.
22 Hoolohe aku la lakou ia ia a hiki i keia hua, alaila hookiekie loa ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, i ae la, E kiola aku ia ia pela, mai ka honua aku; no ka mea, aole ia e pono ke ola.
And when they had heard Paulos until this word, they lifted up their voice, and cried, Take from the earth one like this; for he ought not to live.
23 I ko lakou kahea ana pela, hemo aku la lakou i ko lakou aahu, a kuehuehu aku la lakou i ka lepo iluna ma ka lewa;
And as they shouted and cast their garments and threw dust to the heaven,
24 Kauoha ae la ka lunatausani e kai ia ia iloko o ka pakaua, kauoha ae la, e hoopoipoi ia ia me ka hahau aku, i ike pono ia i ke kumu a lakou i uwauwa'i ia ia.
the tribune commanded that he should be brought into the fortress, and commanded him to be questioned by scourging, that he might know for what cause they cried against him.
25 Hikii iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula ill, i aku la o Paulo i kekahi lunahaneri e ku ana ilaila, He mea pono anei ke hahau oukou i ka Roma, me ka hooku ole mai i ka hala?
And as they exposed him with thongs, Paulos said to the centurion who stood near him, Is it allowed you to scourge a Roman man who is not condemned?
26 A lohe ka lunahaneri, hele aku la ia a hai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, Heaha kau e hana nei? no ka mea, he Roma keia.
And when the centurion heard, he approached the tribune, and said to him, What doest thou? For this is a Roman man.
27 Alaila, hele mai la ka lunatausani, i mai la ia ia, E hai mai oe ia'u, he Roma anei oe? I aku la ia, Ae.
And the tribune approached him, and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said to him, Yes.
28 I mai la ua lunatausani la, He kumukuai nui ko'u i loaa mai ai ia'u keia kupa ana. I aku la o Paulo, Ua hanauia mai au, pela.
The tribune answered, and said to him, I with much money purchased the Roman-right. Paulos said to him, But I was born in it.
29 Nolaila haalele koke iho la ka poe hoopoipoi ia ia; a ike ka lunatausani, he Roma ia, makau iho la no ia, no kona hoopaa ana ia ia.
And immediately those who had sought to scourge him desisted from him; and the tribune feared when he learned that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
30 A ia la ae manao iho la ia e ike pono i kona mea i hoopiiia'i e na Iudaio, wehe ae la oia ia ia, a kauoha aku la i ua kahuna nui, a me ka ahalunakanawai a pau, e hele mai, a alakai mai la oia ia Paulo, a hooku iho la ia ia imua o lakou.
AND the day after he willed to know truly what was the accusation which the Jihudoyee brought against him. And he ordered him and commanded the great priests and all the synagogue of their rulers to come; and he took Paulos and brought (him) down, and stood him among them.
