Aposolo 22

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

“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense 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,

When they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. Then he said,

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 Jewish man, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel and instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, just as all of you are today.

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 this Way to the death, binding both men and women and putting them in prison,

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 the high priest can testify about me, along with the whole council of elders. From them I received letters to the brothers in Damascus and then made my way there to make arrests and bring the prisoners back 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.

“About noon, as I was going along and drawing near to Damascus, a great light from heaven suddenly flashed around 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?

Then I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ 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.

I answered, ‘Who are yoʋ, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom yoʋ are persecuting.’

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

Those who were with me saw the light and were afraid, but they did not understand the voice of the one who 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.

Then I said, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Rise and go to Damascus, and there yoʋ will be told about all that has been appointed for yoʋ 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.

But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me, and went 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,

“Now a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, who was well spoken of by all the Jews dwelling 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 and stood beside me. He said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive yoʋr sight,’ and in that very hour I 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.

Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed yoʋ to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the voice coming from his mouth.

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

For yoʋ will be his witness to all people of what yoʋ 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 yoʋ delay? Rise and be baptized, and wash away yoʋr sins, calling upon the name of the Lord.’

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

“When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, 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 the Lord saying to me, ‘Make haste and get out of Jerusalem quickly, for they will not accept yoʋr testimony about 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.

So I said, ‘Lord, they know that in every synagogue I imprisoned and beat those who believe in yoʋ.

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 yoʋr witness Stephen was being shed, I myself stood there approving of his execution as I watched over the cloaks of those who were killing 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.

Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go, for I will send yoʋ far away 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!

The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement, but then they lifted up their voices and said, “Away with this man from the earth! For he should not be allowed to live.”

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

As they were crying out, throwing off their cloaks and flinging 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 commander ordered Paul to be brought into the barracks, saying that he should be examined by flogging, to find out the reason why they were shouting at him in this way.

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 one of the soldiers was stretching Paul out with the straps, Paul said to the centurion standing nearby, “Is it lawful for you to whip a Roman citizen without a proper trial?”

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 reported it to the commander, saying, “Consider what yoʋ are about to do, for 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 commander went over and said to Paul, “Tell me, are yoʋ a Roman citizen?” 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 commander responded, “I acquired this citizenship with a large sum of money.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.”

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.

So those who were about to examine him immediately drew back, and the commander was afraid when he realized that Paul was a Roman citizen and that 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.

So the next day, wishing to know for certain why Paul was being accused by the Jews, the commander released him from his bonds and commanded the chief priests and their entire Sanhedrin to come. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
