Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 26
1 Kwibhyo, Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'Owikilisibhwa okwililila.' Niwo Paulo nagolola okubhoko kwae nelilila kutya.
Agrippa said to Paul, "You may speak for yourself." Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
2 “Enilola no bhukondeleywe, Omukama Agripa, koleleki ikoleke ikesi yani imbele yao lelo ku masitaka gone aga bhayaudi.
"I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you this day concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
3 Kulwo kubha, awe uli mumenyi wa jintungwa ja bhayaudi na masubhyo. Kulwejo enisabhwa untegeleshe kwo kwikomesha
especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4 Ni chimali, abhayaudi bhona abhamenya lwakutyo naliga nikae kusoka mu bhusigaji bhwani mwi Yanga lwani eyo Yerusalemu.
"Indeed, all Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Urishlim;
5 Bhamenyele kusoka mu bwambilo kulwejo kubheile okwikilisha ati nekae kuti mufarisayo, lijeebhu elyo bhwima bhululu mu dini yeswe.
having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Woli nimeleguyu anu nilamulwe kulwo kubha anye enilola omulago gunu Nyamuanga akolele na bhalata bheswe.
Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
7 Gunu ni mulago gunu jiganda jeswe ekumi ne bhili jili no kwiikanya okulamila labha bhakamulamya Nyamuanga kwa managa mugeta na mu mwisi. Ni ingulu ye liikanya linu, Omukama Agripa, ati abhayaudi abhansitaka.
which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, O King.
8 Kulwaki wona wona agati yemwe keganilisha ebhilugusho ati Nyamuanga kasulula abhafue?
Why is it judged incredible with you, if God does raise the dead?
9 Omwanya gumwi neganilisishe omwene ati nakakolele misango myafu ingulu ya lisina lya Yesu owa nanjaleti.
"In fact, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things against the name of Yeshua the Natsraya.
10 Nakolele ganu mu Yerusalemu; Nabhabhoyele abhekilisha bhafu mwibhoyelo, naliga no bhutulo okusoka kubhagabhisi Abhakulu okukola kutyo; omwanya ogwo nibhetwa, nabhumile nibhetogya ingulu yebhe
This I also did in Urishlim. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
11 Omwanya mwafu nabhabhumile mu likofyanyisho lyona na legejishe okubhakola bhasige elikilisha lyebhwe. Naliga ne bhinyiga muno ingulu yebhwe nibabhilimya nolyo mu misi Jo bhugenyi.
Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
12 Omwanya ogwo naliga Nikola ganu, Nagendele Damesiki, na liga no bhutulo na malagililo okusoka KU bhagabhisi Abhakulu; Ao naliga nili mu njila omwanya gwa mu
"Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 mwisi, Omukama, nalolele obhwelu okusoka mulwile gunu gwaliga gusekanile kukila lisubha nigulabhangilya nigusingila anye na bhanu bhanu haliga nibhalibhata amwi nanye.
at noon, O King, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
14 Eswe bhona chejile chikagwa ansi, no nguwe Obhulaka Ni bhaika nanye nibhwaika mu lulimi lwe chiebulania: -Sauli, Sauli KU bhanki ounysha? chikomee kwawe okubhala omugele kwi chumu.
When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, 'Shaul, Shaul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
15 Nio ninaika,'awe nawega, Latabhugenyi?' Latabhugenyi nasubya, 'Anye Ni Yesu unu ounyasha.
"I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' "He said, 'I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
16 Oli imuka wimelegulu kwa magulu gao; Ku songa inu anye nabhonekana kwawe, nakusola okubha mukosi no mubhambhasi ingulu ye misango ejo oumenya kulubhana nanye oli ne misango ejo nilakwelesha imbele;
But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen me, and of the things which I will reveal to you;
17 Enikukisha okusoka KU bhanu na bhanu bha maanga kwabho enikutuma,
delivering you from the people, and from the non-Jewish people, to whom I send you,
18 Oufundukula ameso gebhwe no kubhasosha mu chisute no kuja mu bhwelu no kusoka mu managa ga nyakusheta bhamulubhe Nyamuanga; Koleleki bhabhone okulamila okusoka ku Nyamuanga okusasilwa kwe bhikayo no kulya omwandu kunu nibhayanile bhalya bhanu nauye ku likilisha linu Lili kwanye.
to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satana to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
19 Kwibhyo, Omukama Agripa, nitatulile kulema ebhilolo bhya mulwile,
"Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
20 nawe, kubhalya bhanu bhali mu Dameski okwamba, no kumala Yerusalemu na muchalo chona echa Yudea, one na KU bhanu bha maanga agandi, nasimuye ati bhate no kumuindukila Nyamuanga, bhakole ebhikolwa bhinu bhiile okuta.
but declared first to them of Damascus, at Urishlim, and throughout all the country of Yehuda, and also to the non-Jews, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
21 kwa insonga eyo abhayaudi bhangwatile mwiyekalu, nibhalegeja okunyita.
For this reason Jews seized me when I was in the temple, and tried to kill me.
22 Nyamuanga ansakie kukinga woli, kwibhyo enimelegulu no kubhabhambalila abhanu bhanu bhenganilie na kubhalya bhakulu ingulu ya galya ganu abhalagi na Musa bhaikile ati galibhonekana Nolwo gatali gandi;
Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the Prophets and Mushe said would happen,
23 Ati Kristo Ni bhusi bhusi anyasibhwe na kabha wo kwamba okusuluka okusoka mu bhafue no kwelesha obhwelu ku bhayaudi na KU bhanu bha maanga.
how the Meshikha would suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to non-Jewish people."
24 Paulo ejile amala okwililila, Festo aikile kwo bhulaka bhunene, 'Paulo, awe uli musasii! lisoma lwao lyakukolele kubha musasi.
As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are crazy. Your great learning is driving you insane."
25 Mbe nawe Paulo naika ati, anye nitali musasi, mukulu we chibhalo Festo; nawe kwo bhubhasi naika emisango je chimali chenyele.
But he said, "I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
26 Kulwo kubha Omukama kamenya okulubhana ne misango jinu; Kwibho, enaika kwo kwiyagala KU mwene, kulwejo nili ne chimali ati gutalio gwona gwona gunu gwiselekele ku mwene, kulwo kubha gunu guchali kukolwa ku mbali.
For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
27 Angu, owikilisha abhalagi, Omukama Agripa? Enimenya ati owikilisha.
King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe."
28 'Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'kwo mwanya mufui outula okunkongya anye no kunkola kubha mukristo?
Agrippa said to Paul, "With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Meshihaye?"
29 Paulo naika ati, '“Enimusabhwa Nyamuanga ati kwo mwanya mufui amwi mulela, atali awe-la, nawe bhone bhanu abhanyungwa lelo, bhabhe Kanye nawe atali jiboelo ja mwibhoyelo.”
Paul said, "I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these bonds."
30 Niwo Omukama nemelegulu, no mutwale, na Bernike one, na bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhenyanjile amwi nabho,
The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
31 Bhejile bhasokao mwigalagalilo, nibhelomela abhene kwa bhene no kwaika, 'omunu unu ateile kufwa Nolwo kubhoywa.'
When they had withdrawn, they spoke one to another, saying, "This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds."
32 Agripa namubhwila Festo, “Omunu unu chakamusigilela eyagale achilema okugendelela imbele KU Kaisari.”
Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
