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 said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, thus made his defence,
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:
"O king Agrippa, I think myself happy, that I am this day to make my defence before thee, concerning all the things which I am accused of by the Jews:
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.
especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions which are among the Jews; wherefore I intreat thee to hear 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;
My manner of life then from my youth, as it has been from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews are acquainted with,
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.
knowing me before, (if they would testify it, ) that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a pharisee.
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 arraigned for the hope of the promise which was made by God to 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.
to which promise our twelve tribes, worshipping continually night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope, O king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.
8 No ke aha la oukou i manao ai ho mea hiki ole i ke Akua ke hoala mai i ka poe make?
What! is it judged incredible by you, that God should raise 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 indeed once thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene:
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 I also did in Jerusalem; and I shut up many of the saints in prison, having received authority for it from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my voice against them.
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 often punishing them in all the synagogues, I compelled them to blaspheme, and being excessively enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
12 No ia mau mea i hele ai au i Damaseko, me ka mana a me ke aeia na na kahuna nui mai,
On which accounts as I was going to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests---at mid-day,
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.
O king, as I was on the way thither I saw a light from heaven exceeding the splendor of the sun, shining round about me and those that were going 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.
And when we were all fallen down to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
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.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus, 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 on thy feet: for to this end have I appeared unto thee, to appoint thee a minister and a witness both of the things which thou hast seen, and of those for which I shall hereafter appear unto 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,
delivering thee from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I now 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, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God; that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in me.
19 Nolaila, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, aole au i hoole aku ia hoakaku, mai ka lani mai.
Wherefore, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly 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 declared first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and through all the country of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, and turn unto God, performing works suitable to repentance.
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 these things the Jews seized me in the temple, and attempted 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:
But having obtained help of God, I continue until this day, testifying both to small and great, and saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses declared should come to pass; even that the Messiah should suffer,
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.
and being the first of the resurrection from the dead should bring light to the 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 was saying these things in his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning turns thy brain.
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 replied, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but I speak the words of truth and of a sound mind.
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, to whom also I speak with freedom; because I am persuaded that none of them are unknown to him; for this 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, believest thou the prophets?
28 Olelo aku la o Ageripa ia Paulo, Ua aneane oe e hoohuli mai ia'u i Kristiano.
I know that thou believest them. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou almost persuadest me to be 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.
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this 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 said this, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those that sat 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 retired, they spake to each other, saying, this man hath done nothing worthy of death or 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.
And Agrippa said to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Cesar.
