1 RI ai ko, jam ai ko komail, ron maj ai japen komail.

Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you.

2 Irail lao roner, me a majani on irail ni lokaia en Ipru, re ap nenenla kaualap. I ari kotin majani.

(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd)

3 Ol en Juj amen nai, me tikidar Tarjuj en Jilijia, a i kakairida nan kanim wet ni aluwilu en Kamaliel, padapadakki kapun en jam atail akan, o nantion poni poni Kot dueta komail kin wia ran wet.

I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

4 O i kawelar al pot et lel on kamelar aramaj, ni ai jaliedi o panalan imaten ol o li akan.

And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women.

5 Pwe iduen me jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan kin kadede kin ia, pwe i aleer jan irail kijin likau, on ri (atail) akan. I ap kolan Damajkuj, pwen pil jaliedi o wa don Ierujalem, me mi waja o, pwe ren kamekame.

As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, and al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished.

6 A ni ai koko wei korendor Damajkuj, nin jauaj, marain eu kodido jan nanlan, jare ia da.

And so it was, as I iourneyed and was come neere vnto Damascus about noone, that suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me.

7 Nai ari pupedi nani pwel o ronada nil eu, me majani on ia: Jaul, Jaul, da me koe kame kin ia?

So I fell vnto the earth, and heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?

8 Nai ari potoan on: Ij komui Main? A kotin majani on ia: Nai Iejuj en Najaret, me koe kin kame.

Then I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

9 A me ian ia udialer marain o, ap majapwekadar, a re jota ron kapit en me majan don ia.

Moreouer they that were with me, sawe in deede a light and were afraide: but they heard not the voyce of him that spake vnto me.

10 Nai potoan on: Da me i en wiada Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani on ia: Paurida u kowei on Damajkuj, nan a pan kapare on uk waja o, me kaonop on uk er, en wiada.

Then I sayd, What shall I doe, Lord? And the Lord sayde vnto me, Arise, and goe into Damascus: and there it shall be tolde thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to doe.

11 A i jolar kak kilan waja, aki linan en marain o, i ap daululan Damajkuj; me ian ia kalua kin ia pa i.

So when I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.

12 Ananiaj, ol lelapok amen duen kapun o, me kalok mau jli ren Juj akan karoj, me kaujon waja o,

And one Ananias a godly man, as perteining to the Lawe, hauing good report of all the Iewes which dwelt there,

13 Ap ko don ia kajikajinen imp ai indai on ia: Ri ai Jauluj, kilanada waja! Ari, ni auer ota i jaradan i.

Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayd vnto me, Brother Saul, receiue thy sight: and that same houre I looked vpon him.

14 I ari katitiki: Kot en jam atail akan, me pil uk adar, pwe koe en lolekonki a kupur, o udial me Pun o, o ron kapit en jllan i.

And he sayd, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee, that thou shouldest knowe his wil, and shouldest see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth.

15 Pwe koe pan japwilim a jaunkadede on aramaj karoj, duen me koe kilanadar o ronadar.

For thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men, of the things which thou hast seene and heard.

16 Ari, da me koe auiaui? Paurida o paptaijela, pwe dip om akan en widen jan, o jakarkidan mar a.

Now therefore why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, in calling on the Name of the Lord.

17 A kadekadeo i lao pwara don Ierujalem o kapakap nan im en kaudok o, i ap wukilar.

And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, and prayed in the Temple, I was in a traunce,

18 O i kilan i, me kotin majani on ia: Kananata, madana wei jan Ierujalem, pwe irail jota pan duki on om kadede kin ia.

And saw him saying vnto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy witnes concerning me.

19 Nai ari potoan on: Main, pein irail aja, me i panalan nan imaten o woki nan jinakoke kan me kin pojon komui.

Then I sayd, Lord, they know that I prisoned, and beat in euery Synagogue them that beleeued in thee.

20 A ni japwilim ar jaunkadede Jtepanuj kamatalar, nai pil u impa o peren kidar a kamatalar, nekinekid likau en me kamatalar i ko.

And when the blood of thy martyr Steuen was shed, I also stood by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the clothes of them that slew him.

21 A ap kotin majani on ia: U ko wei, pwe I pan kadar uk ala waja doo ren men liki kan.

Then he sayd vnto me, Depart: for I will send thee farre hence vnto the Gentiles.

22 Irail roneron i lel on majan pot et, ap nil laudeda indada: Jiken wei jan jappa lap men et! Pwe a jota mau on, i en momaureta!

And they heard him vnto this worde, but then they lift vp their voyces, and sayd, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not meete that he should liue.

23 A ni arail weriwerada, o kajelar ar likau, o kajadar pwelpar,

And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the aire,

24 Kaun lapalap o ap majani, i en wijikelan nan im en jaunpei o majani, ren woki i, pwe i en lelapok kila, da me re weiwei lokeki i.

The chiefe captaine commanded him to be led into the castle, and bade that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might knowe wherefore they cryed so on him.

25 Irail lao jaliedi i, Pauluj ap idok ren kaun o, me u impa: Me pun, en woki aramaj en Rom amen, me kaikenta pakadei kadar?

And as they bound him with thongs, Paul sayd vnto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawfull for you to scourge one that is a Romane, and not condemned?

26 Kaun o lao ronada met, ap kola ren kaun lapalap o indada: Da me kom pan wiada, pwe aramaj men et men Rom amen.

Nowe when the Centurion heard it, hee went, and tolde the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest: for this man is a Romane.

27 Kaun lapalap o ap kodo indai on i: Katitiki on ia, ol en Rom amen komui? A japen: Ei.

Then the chiefe captaine came, and sayd to him, Tel me, art thou a Romane? And he said, Yea.

28 Kaun lapalap o japen: Pwai laud me i jaladok kilar. A Pauluj majani: A nai me tikidar jaladok.

And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obtained I this freedome. Then Paul sayd, But I was so borne.

29 Me kodo kadeikada i, ap madan pure jan i, o kaun lapalap lao ajadar, me i ol en Rom amen, a pil majakadar, pweki a jaliedi i.

Then straightway they departed from him, which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afrayd, after he knewe that hee was a Romane, and that he had bound him.

30 A mandan ran o a inon ion melel aja karep en Juj oko ar panala i, ap lapwada i o kapokon pena jamero lapalap o toun kapun o, ap wadila Pauluj o kotikidi on i mo’rail.

On the next day, because hee would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the hie Priests and all their Councill to come together: and he brought Paul, and set him before them.
