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 on hearing him speak to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence. And he saith:

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 indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, hut brought up in this city, taught at the feet of Gamaliel in the strictness of the Law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as ye 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.

And I persecuted this way [[of belief]] even to death, binding and putting into 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 beareth me witness, and all the elderhood; from whom I received letters to the brethren, and was on my way to Damascus to bring those also that were there, bound, to Jerusalem, that they might 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.

But it came to pass, as I was on my way, and approaching Damascus, that about noon there suddenly shone around me a great light from heaven;

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 dost thou persecute 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 Nazarene, whom thou persecutest.

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

And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but the voice of him that spoke to me they did not hear.

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, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there thou wilt be told of all which it hath been 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 by reason of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand of those that were with me, and 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,

But one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well spoken of 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.

came to me, and standing over me said, Brother Saul, receive sight. And I immediately looked up upon 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 chose thee 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 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 dost thou delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, 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 after my return to Jerusalem, while I was praying in the temple, that I fell into a trance,

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 know that I imprisoned, and beat in every synagogue, those that believed in 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 Stephen, thy witness, was shed, I myself was standing by and consenting, and keeping the garments of those who slew 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, Depart; for I will send thee 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!

And they listened to him as far as this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth! for it was not fit that he should live.

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

And as they were crying out, and shaking their garments, and throwing 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 chief captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might ascertain for what cause they 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 stretched him out with the cords, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that 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.

When the centurion heard this, he went and told the chief captain, saying, What art thou about 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.

Then the chief captain came and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? 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.

The chief captain answered, For a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was born a Roman.

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.

They therefore who were about to examine him left him immediately. And the chief captain also was alarmed when he knew 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.

On the morrow, wishing to have certain knowledge why he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the chief priests and all the council to assemble; and bringing Paul down, he set him before them.
