Hechos 26
1 Ri Agripa xubꞌij che ri Pablo: Kuyaꞌo katchꞌawik, katoꞌ awibꞌ. Ri Pablo kꞌut xumajij chꞌawem, xubꞌan jun kꞌutbꞌal rukꞌ ri uqꞌabꞌ rech man kechꞌaw ta na ri winaq, xubꞌij:
And Agrippa said to Paul, It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself. Then Paul reaching forth his hand, proceeded with his defence:
2 Nim taqanel Agripa, sibꞌalaj kakiꞌkot wanimaꞌ lal katow la ri nutzij tobꞌal wibꞌ che ri jastaq ri kinkitzujuj wi ri kꞌamal taq kibꞌe ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
O king Agrippa, I consider myself happy, being about this day to make my defence before thee concerning all those things of which I am accused by the Jews:
3 Wetaꞌm chi lal qas etaꞌm la ri naqꞌatajibꞌal xuqujeꞌ ri qas ubꞌanik ri jastaq ri kakichꞌoꞌjij rij ri winaq aꞌj Israel. Kamik kꞌut kinta jun toqꞌobꞌ kintatabꞌej la. Ri ukꞌaslemal kan ri Pablo nabꞌe.
especially as thou art acquainted with all the customs and questions among the Jews: therefore I pray you to hear me patiently.
4 Are in nitzꞌ akꞌal, xya kꞌutuꞌn chwe chkixoꞌl ri nuwinaq, xuqujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, ketaꞌm ri e kꞌamal taq bꞌe ke ri winaq aꞌj Israel.
Moreover indeed all the Jews know my life from my youth; being from the beginning in my nation and in Jerusalem,
5 Aꞌreꞌ ketaꞌm we kakaj kakibꞌij, nabꞌe in kachiꞌl kan ri fariseos, ri wokaj ri sibꞌalaj tzꞌaqat kakibꞌan che ri jastaq pa ri naqꞌatajibꞌal rech kan nabꞌe.
knowing me originally, if they may be willing to testify, that according to the most rigid sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Kamik kꞌut kaqꞌat tzij pa nuwiꞌ rumal chi kuꞌl na kꞌuꞌx che ri uchiꞌm loq ri Dios chike ri qamam ojer.
And now for the hope of the promise which is from God to our fathers, I stand being judged:
7 Are waꞌ rumal keqꞌijilaꞌn che ri Dios chi paqꞌij chi chaqꞌabꞌ ri kabꞌlajuj puq winaq rech Israel, kuꞌl kikꞌuꞌx che ri kuꞌl wi na kꞌuꞌx in. Pune jeriꞌ, Nimalaj Taqanel, aꞌreꞌ kinkitzujuj rumal waꞌ we kꞌulibꞌal na kꞌuꞌx.
unto which our twelve tribes constantly worshiping night and day, hope to attain: concerning which hope I am accused by the Jews, O king.
8 ¿Jas che man kikoj taj chi ri Dios kuꞌkꞌastajisaj ri kaminaqibꞌ?
Why is it judged by you incredible, if God shall raise the dead?
9 Pa nukꞌuꞌx in nabꞌe, chi are in taqchiꞌtal chuqꞌatexik ri ubꞌiꞌ ri Jesús aj Nazaret.
Moreover indeed, I thought to myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene:
10 Qas tzij kinbꞌij, qas kꞌyaqal riꞌ ri xinbꞌan pa Jerusalén. Ri e kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios xkiya bꞌe chwe xeꞌntaq bꞌik e kꞌi kojonelabꞌ pa cheꞌ. Are tajin kekamisaxik in xinbꞌij chi taqalik kekamik.
which I did also in Jerusalem, and shut up many of the saints in prison; and having received authority from the chief priests, and they being slain, I gave my vote against them;
11 Kꞌi mul xinbꞌano chi kaqꞌat tzij pa kiwiꞌ pa ri Sinagoga rech kaketzelaj uwach ri Jesús. Sibꞌalaj woyawal chike rumal riꞌ xeꞌntereneꞌj pa taq juleꞌ taq tinimit chik.
and throughout all the synagogues, frequently punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceeding mad against them, I was persecuting them even also unto foreign cities.
12 Jun qꞌijal inbꞌenaq pa ri tinimit Damasco, keꞌnbꞌana ri jun chak, xkibꞌij bꞌik chwe ri qꞌatal tzij xuqujeꞌ ri kinimaꞌqil ri e chꞌawenelabꞌ cho ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq.
Meanwhile journeying to Damascus with power and authority of the chief priests, I saw on the way, O king,
13 Nim Taqanel, qas pa ri unikꞌajil qꞌij, xpe jun tunanik pa ri kꞌaj, are kꞌo na cho ri utunal ri qꞌij, xinutunaj in xuqujeꞌ ri e wachiꞌl.
about midday, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining around me and those traveling with me;
14 Qonojel xujtzaq pa ri ulew, kꞌa te riꞌ xinta jun chꞌabꞌal pa ri tzijobꞌal hebreo, xubꞌij: “Saulo, Saulo ¿jas che kabꞌan kꞌax chwe? Xaq at kabꞌan kꞌax chibꞌil awibꞌ.”
and we all having fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against goads.
15 Ri in xinbꞌij: “¿Jachin ri lal, Tat?” Ri Ajawxel xubꞌij: “In riꞌ ri Jesús ri tajin kabꞌan kꞌax chwe.”
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting.
16 Chanim chatwaꞌjiloq, xinkꞌut wibꞌ chawach rech katuxik wajchak xuqujeꞌ qꞌalajisal rech ri awilom xuqujeꞌ ri kinkꞌut na chawach.
But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for unto this have I appeared unto thee, to make thee a minister and a martyr both of those things which thou hast seen, and of which I will appear unto thee;
17 Katintoꞌ na pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri awinaqil, xuqujeꞌ pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Qas tzij, katintaq na bꞌik kukꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj,
delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 rech kajaqataj ri kibꞌoqꞌoch, rech keꞌl la pa ri qꞌequꞌmal keqꞌax pa ri tunal, xuqujeꞌ keꞌl loq xeꞌ raqan uqꞌabꞌ ri itzel keqꞌax puꞌqꞌabꞌ ri Dios. Kakikꞌamawaꞌj kꞌu na ri kuybꞌal kimak xuqujeꞌ kayaꞌtaj na kꞌokꞌibꞌal chikixoꞌl ri utinimit ri Dios, rumal ri kikojobꞌal chwe.
to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness unto light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in order that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
19 Rumal waꞌ Nim taqanel Agripa, xinnimaj ri kꞌutuꞌn rech chikajil.
Therefore, O king, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:
20 Nabꞌe xintzijoj chike ri winaq aꞌj Damasco, kꞌa te riꞌ pa Jerusalén, pa Judea xuqujeꞌ chike konojel ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj, kakikꞌex kikꞌuꞌx che ri kimak, ketzalij rukꞌ ri Dios, xuqujeꞌ kakibꞌan ri utz laj taq jastaq rech kakikꞌutu chi xekꞌextajik.
but first to those in Damascus, and also in Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was preaching that they should repent and turn to God, doing things worthy of repentance.
21 Rumal waꞌ nikꞌaj winaq aꞌj Israel xinkichap pa ri Templo, are xkaj xinkikamisaj.
On account of these things the Jews, taking me while in the temple, endeavored to kill me.
22 Ri Dios kꞌut inuchajim kꞌa kamik rech kinqꞌalajisaj chike konojel ri winaq kachapleꞌtaj kukꞌ ri nitzꞌ keqeleꞌn kopan kukꞌ ri nimaꞌq keqeleꞌn. Man kꞌo ta jun jastaq kinkꞌutu ri mat xkitzijoj loq ri e qꞌalajisal taq rech ri utzij ri Dios xuqujeꞌ ri Moisés.
Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass:
23 Aꞌreꞌ xkitzijoj loq chi ri Mesías kuriq na kꞌax, xuqujeꞌ areꞌ nabꞌe kakꞌastaj na chikiwach konojel ri kaminaqibꞌ xaq jeriꞌ kutzijoj na ri utunal ri Dios junam chike ri winaq aꞌj Israel xuqujeꞌ ri winaq ri man aꞌj Israel taj.
how that Christ must suffer, how being the first from the resurrection of the dead, he is to proclaim light both to the people, and the Gentiles.
24 Xaq kꞌa te ri Festo xuraq uchiꞌ xubꞌij: ¡Xa at kon Pablo, ri nimalaj etaꞌmanik at ukonarisam!
And he making his defence to these things, Festus says with a loud voice, O Paul, thou art beside thyself; many writings turned thee into insanity.
25 Ri Pablo xutzalij uwach, xubꞌij: Man xa taj in kon, nimalaj reqeleꞌn Festo. Are tajin kinbꞌij ri tunal ri sibꞌalaj kꞌo kutayij.
But Paul says, I am not a maniac, most noble Festus; but I speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 Ri Nim taqanel Agripa retaꞌm waꞌ we jastaq riꞌ, rumal laꞌ man kinxiꞌj ta wibꞌ che ri kinbꞌij, man xkꞌulmataj ta we jastaq riꞌ chaꞌwal.
For the king, to whom I also speak boldly, knows concerning these things: for I am persuaded that nothing of these things is hidden; for this has not been done in a corner.
27 Taqanel Agripa ¿la kakoj lal ri xkibꞌij ri e qꞌalajisal taq utzij ri Dios? Wetaꞌm in chi kekoj la.
O king Agrippa, dost thou believe the prophets? I know that thou believest them.
28 Ri Agripa xuqꞌatej ri utzij ri Pablo, xubꞌij: ¿Teꞌq pa akꞌuꞌx aninaq kinamenkꞌetij rech kinkojonik?
And Agrippa said to Paul, With little persuasion thou dost persuade thyself to make me a Christian.
29 Ri Pablo xubꞌij: We kꞌu aninaq o kꞌamaꞌtam, kinta che ri Dios pa ri nuchꞌawem chi ri lal xuqujeꞌ konojel ri e kꞌo pa we kꞌolibꞌal riꞌ kuꞌx na jetaq ri in, xwi chi man e yuttal taj.
And Paul said, I would to God, that both in little and in much, not only you, but also all of those hearing me this day, were such as I am, except these bonds.
30 Xewaꞌjil kꞌu ri taqanel, ri qꞌatal tzij, ri Berenice xuqujeꞌ konojel ri winaq xel loq.
And the king, and the governor, and Bernice, and those sitting with them, arose up:
31 Are tajin keꞌl loq xkichomaj: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ maj mak ubꞌanom ri taqal che kakamik o keꞌ pa cheꞌ.
and having gone away, they were talking to one another, saying, that This man is doing nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Ri Agripa xubꞌij che ri Festo: Wine utz katzoqopixik wet mat xutoqꞌij kaqꞌat tzij puꞌwiꞌ rumal ri César.
But Agrippa said to Festus, This man was able to have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
