Oihana 26
1 A LAILA olelo mai la o Ageripa ia Paulo, Ke aeia'ku nei ia oe e olelo mai nou iho. Hohola ae la o Paulo i kona lima, olelo mai la nona iho;
Then Agrippa sayd vnto Paul, Thou art permitted to speake for thy selfe. So Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himselfe.
2 Pomaikai au i ko'u manao, e ke alii, o Ageripa e, no ka mea, e hoakaka ana au imua ou i keia la, no na mea a pau a'u i hoopiiia mai nei e na Iudaio:
I thinke my selfe happy, King Agrippa, because I shall answere this day before thee of all the things whereof I am accused of the Iewes.
3 No ka mea, ua ike no oe i na aoao, a me na mea hoopaapaa a pau o na Iudaio; nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe ahonui mai ia'u.
Chiefly, because thou hast knowledge of all customes, and questions which are among the Iewes: wherefore I beseech thee, to heare me patiently.
4 O ko'u noho ana, mai ko'u wa uuku mai, aia ia mai kinohi mai ma Ierusalema iwaena o kou lahuiaina iho, ua ike na Iudaio a pau;
As touching my life from my childhood, and what it was from the beginning among mine owne nation at Hierusalem, know all the Iewes,
5 Ka poe i ike mai ia'u i kinohou, ina i ake lakou e hoike mai, noho Parisaio no wau ma ka aoao ikaika loa o ko makou hoomana.
Which knewe me heretofore, euen from my elders (if they would testifie) that after the most straite sect of our religion I liued a Pharise.
6 Ke ku nei no au, ua hookolokoloia mai nei no hoi, no ka manaolana o ka olelo hoopomaikai a ke Akua i olelo mai ai i ko makou mau kupuna.
And now I stand and am accused for the hope of the promise made of God vnto our fathers.
7 Ke manaolana nei no hoi ko makou poe ohana, he umi a me kumamalua, e loaa ia mea, me ka malama mau aku i ka po a me ke ao; no ia manaolana o'u, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, ua hoopiiia mai noi au e na Iudaio.
Whereunto our twelue tribes instantly seruing God day and night, hope to come: for the which hopes sake, O King Agrippa, I am accused of the Iewes.
8 No ke aha la oukou i manao ai ho mea hiki ole i ke Akua ke hoala mai i ka poe make?
Why should it be thought a thing incredible vnto you, that God should raise againe the dead?
9 Nolaila, manao no au iloko o'u iho, he mea pono ia'u ke hana i na mea he nui i ku e i ka inoa o Iesn no Nazareta.
I also verely thought in my selfe, that I ought to doe many contrarie things against the Name of Iesus of Nazareth.
10 Hana no au ia mau mea ma Ierusalema; hana paa iho la au i na haipule he nui maloko o na halepaahao, ua loaa no ia'u ka mana no ka poe kahuna nui; a ia lakou i pepehiia, owau no kekahi i hoahewa pu aku la lakou.
Which thing I also did in Hierusalem: for many of the Saints I shut vp in prison, hauing receiued authoritie of the hie Priests, and when they were put to death, I gaue my sentence.
11 Hoopai pinepine aku la au ia lakou maloko o na halehalawai a pau, a koi aku la au ia lakou e olelo hoino; a no ko'u ukiuki loa ia lakou, hoomaau aku la au ia lakou a hiki i na kulanakauhale o na aina e.
And I punished them throughout all the Synagogues, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being more mad against them, I persecuted them, euen vnto strange cities.
12 No ia mau mea i hele ai au i Damaseko, me ka mana a me ke aeia na na kahuna nui mai,
At which time, euen as I went to Damascus with authoritie, and commission from the hie Priests,
13 I ke awakea, e ke alii e, ike aku la au ma ke alanui, he malamalama mai ka lani mai, he mea oi loa aku mamua o ka malamalama o ka la, ua puni au i ka malamalama, a me ka poe i hele pu me au.
At midday, O King, I sawe in the way a light from heauen, passing the brightnes of the sunne, shine round about mee, and them which went with me.
14 A hina makou a pau i ka honua, lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, i mai la ma ka olelo Hebera, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u? He mea eha nou ke keehi mai i na kui.
So when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voyce speaking vnto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kicke against pricks.
15 I aku la au, Owai oe, e ka Haku? I mai la kela, o Iesu no wau, o ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.
Then I sayd, Who art thou, Lord? And he sayd, I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
16 Aka, e ala hoi oe, a e ku iluna ma na wawae ou; no ka mea, ua ikea au ia oe, no keia mea, e hoolilo ana au ia oe i lawehana, a i mea hoike aku i keia mea au i ike iho nei, a me na mea a'u e hoike hou aku ai nau.
But rise and stand vp on thy feete: for I haue appeared vnto thee for this purpose, to appoint thee a minister and a witnesse, both of the things which thou hast seene, and of the things in the which I will appeare vnto thee,
17 Na'u no oe e hoopakele i kanaka a me ko na aina e; e hoouna aku ana no au ia oe io lakou la,
Deliuering thee from this people, and from the Gentiles, vnto whom now I send thee,
18 E hookaakaa'i i ko lakou mau maka, a e hoohuli ia lakou, mai ka pouli mai i ka malamalama, a mai ka mana o Satana i ke Akua, i loaa ia lakou ke kala ana o ka hala, a me ka hooilina mawaena o ka poe i hoomaemaeia e ka manaoio mai ia'u.
To open their eyes, that they may turne from darknes to light, and from the power of Satan vnto God, that they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes, and inheritance among them, which are sanctified by fayth in me.
19 Nolaila, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, aole au i hoole aku ia hoakaku, mai ka lani mai.
Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient vnto the heauenly vision,
20 Aka, hoike mua aku la au ia lakou ma Damaseko, a ma Ierusalema, a ma na mokuna a pau ma Iudea, a i ko na aina e, i mihi lakou, a e huli i ke Akua, a e hana i na hana e ku i ka mihi.
But shewed first vnto them of Damascus, and at Hierusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Iudea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turne to God, and doe workes worthy amendment of life.
21 No keia mau mea, lalau mai na Iudaio ia'u maloko o ka luakini, hoao mai la lakou e pepehi mai ia'u a make.
For this cause the Iewes caught me in the Temple, and went about to kill me.
22 No ke kokua ana mai o ke Akua ia'u, ua ku paa no wan, a hiki mai nei i keia la, e hoike ana aku i ka poe liilii, a me ka poe nui, i ka i ana aku i keia mau mea wale no, i na mea a ka poe kaula, a me Mose no hoi i olelo mai ai, e hiki mai ana:
Neuertheles, I obteined helpe of God, and continue vnto this day, witnessing both to small and to great, saying none other things, then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come,
23 E make no ka Mesia e pono ai, oia hoi ka mua o ka poe make i ala hou mai, nana no e hoike aku i ka malamalama i ko onei kanaka, a me ko na aina e.
To wit, that Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light vnto this people, and to the Gentiles.
24 A i kana hoakaka ana pela i kona iho, i ae la o Peseto me ka leo nui, E Paulo, ua hehena oe; na na palapala he nui oe i hoolilo ai i hehena.
And as he thus answered for himselfe, Festus said with a loude voyce, Paul, thou art besides thy selfe: much learning doeth make thee mad.
25 I aku la ia, Aole au hehena, e Peseto maikai e, aka, ke olelo aku nei au i na olelo oiaio a me ka naauao.
But he said, I am not mad, O noble Festus, but I speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
26 Ua ike no hoi ke alii i keia mea, ke olelo wiwo ole aku nei au imua o kona alo; no ka mea, ke manao nei au aole i nalo ia ia kekahi o keia mau mea, no ka mea, aole i hanaia keia ma kahi nalo.
For the King knoweth of these things, before whom also I speake boldly: for I am perswaded that none of these things are hidden from him: for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 E ke alii, e Ageripa e, ke manaoio mai nei anei oe i ka na kaula! Ua ike no au, ua manaoio no oe.
O King Agrippa, beleeuest thou the Prophets? I know that thou beleeuest.
28 Olelo aku la o Ageripa ia Paulo, Ua aneane oe e hoohuli mai ia'u i Kristiano.
Then Agrippa said vnto Paul, Almost thou perswadest me to become a Christian.
29 I mai la o Paulo, Ke pule nei au i ke Akua, i ole oe ma ka aneane wale no, aka, ma ka oiaio e lilo ai oe, a me ka poe a pau e hoolohe mai ia'u i keia la, i mea e like io ai me au nei, ma na mea a pau, o keia paa wale no ke koe.
Then Paul sayd, I would to God that not onely thou, but also all that heare me to day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 A ku ae la ke alii iluna, a me ke alii kiaaina, a me Berenike, a me ka poe e noho pu ana me lakou.
And when he had thus spoken, the King rose vp, and the gouernour, and Bernice, and they that sate with them.
31 I ko lakou hoi ana'ku, kamailio ae la lakou ia lakou iho no, i ae la, Aole i hana keia kanaka i ka mea ku i ka make a me ka paa.
And when they were gone apart, they talked betweene themselues, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death, nor of bonds.
32 I ae la o Ageripa ia Peseto, Ina aole keia kanaka i hoopii ia Kaisara, ina ua pono ke wehe ia ia.
Then sayd Agrippa vnto Festus, This man might haue bene loosed, if hee had not appealed vnto Cesar.
