Aposolo 22

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

"Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make in your presence."

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

When they heard him speaking in Hebrew they became the more quiet.

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," he said, "born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the strict manner of the Law of our forefathers, ardent for God, even as you all are 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.

"I persecuted to the death this way, continually 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.

"To this the high priest and all the council of elders are witnesses. It was from them that I received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and I was already on my way to bring those also who were there back to Jerusalem, in bonds, for punishment.

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

"But when, on my journey, I was nearing Damascus, about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone 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?

"I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, "‘Saul! Saul! why are you persecuting 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.

"‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. "‘I am Jesus, the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting,’ he answered me.

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

"Now my companions, though they beheld the light, did not hear the words of Him who spoke 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 and go into Damascus, and there you will be told about all that you are destined 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 was seeing nothing for the glory of the light, I was led by the hand of my companions, and so came into 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, well thought of by all the Jews who lived 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.

"came to me, and standing by me, said to me, "‘Brother Saul, receive your sight’ "In that very hour I regained my sight and looked up at 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.

"Then he said. "‘The God of our forefathers has appointed you to know his will; and to see the righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

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

"‘For before the face of all men you will be a witness for him of what you have 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 do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling upon his name.’

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

"After my return to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple,

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

"I fell into a trance and saw him saying to me, "‘Make haste and go quickly out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive your 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.

"‘Lord,’ I replied, ‘they themselves well know that I was beating and imprisoning in synagogue after synagogue those who believed in you,

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 your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by and consenting, and holding the garments of his murders.’

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.

"‘Depart,’ he said to me, ‘for I will send you forth, far hence, to the Gentiles.’"

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!

Until they heard this last statement, the people were listening to Paul, but now they roared out. "Away with such a fellow from the earth! He is not fit to live!"

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

When they continued to shout, throwing their clothes into the air, and flinging dust around,

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 tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, and examined under the lash, to learn for what reason the people were thus crying out 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 when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing near, "If a man is a Roman citizen, and uncondemned, is it lawful for you to scourge him?"

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.

When the centurion heard that, he went to the tribune and said to him. "What are you intending to do? This man is a Roman citizen."

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.

So the tribune came to Paul and asked him, "Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?" "Yes," he said.

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.

"I paid a large sum to get this citizenship," said the tribune. "But I was citizen-born," said Paul.

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.

Then those who were about to scourge him, immediately left him. And the tribune too, was afraid, when he learned that Paul was a Roman citizen, for he had had him bound.

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.

The next day, as he wished to learn the real reason why the Jews accused Paul, he unbound him, and commanded the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and brought Paul down, and placed him before them.
