Aposolo 22

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

“Brothers and fathers, listen to the 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,

When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. 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 indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all 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 and delivering 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 and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and travelled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds 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.

“As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.

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.

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

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

“Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice 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.

I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you 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.

When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I 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,

“One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,

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 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.

He said, ‘The God of our fathers 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 you will be a witness for him to all men 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.

Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptised, and wash away your sins, calling on 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 had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in 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 him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’

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.

I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every 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.

When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those 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.

“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here 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!

They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”

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

As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw 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 commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.

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?

When they had tied him up with straps, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”

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 it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are 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.

The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you 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 commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” 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.

Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realised that he was a Roman, 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.

But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
