Aposolo 22

1 Hagi nafu'nafaheta, amama nagrama navufa nagu'vazi kema nehua kea antahiho.

Brethren and fathers, hear my defence which I now make to you.

2 Zamagrama antahizama, Aramu (Hibru) kefinti kema nehige'za nentahi'za, mago'ane zamagasasankea eri anterami'naze. Anante Poli'a anage hu'ne,

And hearing that he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more quiet; and he says,

3 nagra Jiu nere, Tasisi kumate Silisia kasenante'ne. Hianagi ama ran kumapi ra hutena Gamalieli hinkanaga avonona hu'na, tagehemofo kasegemo hu'nea kante ante'na Anumzamofo avu'avara hanaveti'na avariri fatgo hu'noe. Tamagrama nehazaza hu'na Anumzamofona amage ante'na vu'noe.

I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, educated according to [the] exactness of the law of [our] fathers, being zealous for God, as ye are all this day;

4 Nagra amanahu hu'na, zamentinti vahera nezamahe'na, zamahe fri'za nehu'na, vene'ne a'nenena kina rezamante'na zamare'na kina nompi ome zamante'noe.

who have persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering up to prisons both men and women;

5 Ugagota pristi ne'mo'ene maka kanisol (senhidren) vahe'mo'za, amama nehuazankura tamage hu'za tamasmigahaze. Zamagra mago'a avona kre'nami'za erinka Damaskasi nemaniza kafuhe'intega vuo hazage'na, nagra kina ome rezmante'na zamare'na e'na, Jerusalemi zamata hoza zamihogu kantega vu'noe.

as also the high priest bears me witness, and all the elderhood: from whom also, having received letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus to bring those also who were there, bound, to Jerusalem, to be punished.

6 Nagrama vuvava hu'na Damaskasi urava'o nehugeno'a, feru'naza monafinkati masa'nentake tavi'mo ame' huno remsa hunante kagi'ne.

And it came to pass, as I was journeying and drawing near to Damascus, that, about mid-day, there suddenly shone out of heaven a great light round about me.

7 Anante nagra traka hu'na mopafi evuramugeno, mago agerumo'a nentahugeno anage huno nagriku hu'ne, Solio, Solio, na'a higenka Nagrira nazeri havizana nehane?

And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

8 Hige'na Nagra kenona'a, azage Ra'moka? hu'na nehugeno, Agra anage huno nasami'ne, Nazareteti Jisasi'na nazeri haviza nehane huno hu'ne.

And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazaraean, whom thou persecutest.

9 Nagrane vu'naza vahe'mo'za ana masa ke'nazanagi, nanekema hunamia kea antahi ama osu'naze.

But they that were with me beheld the light, [and were filled with fear], but heard not the voice of him that was speaking to me.

10 Ana hige'na nagra na'a hugahue Ramoka? hu'na antahigogeno, Ramo'a nagrikura anage hu'ne, Otinka Damaskasi vugeno, maka'zama hugahane hu'na huhampri kante'noa zana kasamino.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rise up, and go to Damascus, and there it shall be told thee of all things which it is appointed thee to do.

11 Na'ankure tavi'mofo masamo navurga erihaviza hige'na navua onkoge'za, magokama vu'nona vahe'mo'za Damaskasia nazante navazu hu'za ufre'naze.

And as I could not see, through the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came to Damascus.

12 Ana kumate mago nera mani'neana agi'a Ananaisi kasegemofo avariri fatgo nehige'za, anampima nemani'za maka Jiu vahe'mo'za, knare nere nehaza ne'mo'a,

And a certain Ananias, a pious man according to the law, borne witness to by all the Jews who dwelt [there],

13 mani'nore eme otino nagriku anage hu'ne, Soliga nenafuge, kavurgamo'a so'e huganteno! Higeno ame' huno navumo'a hari hige'na kesga hu'na ana ne' ke'noe.

coming to me and standing by me, said to me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And I, in the same hour, received my sight and saw him.

14 Anante agra anage huno nasami'ne, tagehe'mokizmi Anumzamo ko kagrira huhampriganteno, Agri avesi'za antahinka kenka nehunka, Fatgo Hu'nea Ne' Jisasi negenka, Agra'a agipinti'ma hania kea antahigahane.

And he said, The God of our fathers has chosen thee beforehand to know his will, and to see the just one, and to hear a voice out of his mouth;

15 Na'ankure Agrama kagri'ma eri kaverigenka, negenka nentahinka hu'nana kea, huama hunka maka vahera zamasmigahane.

for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

16 Na'a higenka avega antenka mani'nane? Otinka mono ti nefrenka, agihanta nevazigeno kumi ka'a sese huganteno hu'ne.

And now why lingerest thou? Arise and get baptised, and have thy sins washed away, calling on his name.

17 Ana hutege'na ete rukarahe hu'na Jerusalemi kumate e'na, ra mono nompi nunamu nehu'na ava'nagna'za kogeno,

And it came to pass when I had returned to Jerusalem, and as I was praying in the temple, that I became in ecstasy,

18 Ramo'a negogeno anage huno nasami'ne, Hantaka'a Jerusalemia atrenka ame' hunka vuo. Na'ankure Nagri nagenkema kagrama hanana kea ontahigahaze.

and saw him saying to me, Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.

19 Nagra kenona'a anage hu'noe, Ramoka Kagrite'ma osi mono nompi mono nehu'za, zamentintima nehaza vahe'ma kina nompima zamare nente'na, zamazeri havizama nehu'na zamahe'noazana ko antahi'naze.

And I said, Lord, they themselves know that I was imprisoning and beating in every synagogue those that believe on thee;

20 Kagri kema huama nehia ne'ma Stivenima ahe'za korama'a erimegi atrazazana, nagrani'a tava'onte mani'ne'na, mago narimpa nehu'na, ahe'naza vahe'mokizmi anakare ku'zamirera kava hu'noge'za ahe'naze.

and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was shed, I also myself was standing by and consenting, and kept the clothes of them who killed him.

21 Anante Ramo'a anage huno nasami'ne. Vuo! Na'ankure afete hugante'nugenka megi'a vahepi ke'ni'a erinka ome zamasmigahane hu'ne.

And he said to me, Go, for I will send thee to the nations afar off.

22 Ana vahetamimo'za antahime nevazareti'ma, megi'a vaheku'ma agrama kema hiana nentahi'za zamagerura eri mago hu'za ranke hu'za, ama mopafintira azeri atreho! Agra ama mopafi manigara osu'ne!

And they heard him until this word, and lifted up their voice, saying, Away with such a one as that from the earth, for it was not fit he should live.

23 Rankege nehu'za kukena'zami zafima netare'za, kugusopa kate'za zahopi mate vu'naze.

And as they were crying, and throwing away their clothes, and casting dust into the air,

24 Ana'ma haza'zanku Romu sondia kva ne'mo'a, Polina ete avaretma sondia vahe kumapi ufreho huno huzmante'ne. Agra zamasmino kao akaruteti trohunte nofi knonu sefu kno Polina ome nehetma antahigeho, Jiu vahe'mo'za nanke agafare amanahu rankea Polina hunentafi, huno huzmante'ne.

the chiliarch commanded him to be brought into the fortress, saying that he should be examined by scourging, that he might ascertain for what cause they cried thus against him.

25 Knoma ahenaku azama azeri antesga nehazageno, Poli'a anante otino mani'nea sondia kva ne' (sensulien, hantretia sondia vahete kva nera), asami'ne, Knare hu'negu hazenke'a omane Romu vahere huno mani'nesia vahera ke agafa'a eri fatgo osu'nesia zantera ahegahazafi?

But as they stretched him forward with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who stood [by], Is it lawful for you to scourge a man [who is] a Roman and uncondemned?

26 Sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a ana kema nentahino, ugagota sondia nete vuno, kema hianke ome asamino, anage hu'ne, Kagra na'a huntenaku nehane? Na'ankure ama'na nera Romu nere huno mani'nea nere.

And the centurion, having heard it, went and reported it to the chiliarch, saying, What art thou going to do? for this man is a Roman.

27 Anante ugagota sondia kva ne'mo otino eno Polina anage huno antahige'ne, Kagra nasamio Romu ne' mani'nano? higeno agra hu'ne, ozo.

And the chiliarch coming up said to him, Tell me, Art thou a Roman? And he said, Yes.

28 Ana ugagota sondia kva ne'mo'a kenona'a anage hu'ne, Nagrama Romu vahe maninakura rama'a zago mizase'na mani'noe. Hianagi Poli'a kenona'a huno nagri'enena ama mopare nere huno nenfa'a mani'neno, ome kasenantege'na, Romu nere hu'na mani'noe.

And the chiliarch answered, I, for a great sum, bought this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was also [free] born.

29 Polima sefu ami'za nehaza vahe'mo'za ame hu'za atre'za mani ogantu ogama nehazageno, ugagota sondia kva ne'mo'a antahiama Poli'ma Romu ne' mani'nege'za anakinte'naza zankura kore hu'ne.

Immediately therefore those who were going to examine him left him, and the chiliarch also was afraid when he ascertained that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

30 Maseno ko'atigeno Romu sondia vahete ugagota kva ne'mo'a, na'a agafare Jiu vahe'mo'za kea Polina hunte'naze antahino keno hunaku kazufe netreno, pristi vaheku'ene kanisol vahe'zaga ke hige'za atru hu'naze. Anante Polina avareno eramino zamuga eme ante'ne.

And on the morrow, desirous to know the certainty [of the matter] why he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and having brought Paul down set him before them.
