Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 22
1 Boe ma, Paulus olaꞌ nae “Ama nggare no toronoo nggare! Au oꞌe nggi rena, te ae usulaꞌe ao ngga.”
“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
2 Leleꞌ naa atahori hetar rena Paulus olaꞌ, nendiꞌ sira dedꞌea na. De ara nenee reuꞌ ena, fo rae rena malolole dedꞌea na. Boe ma ana olaꞌ nakandoo nae,
When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
3 “Sadꞌi basa nggi bubꞌuluꞌ mae, au atahori Yahudi. Mama ngga bꞌonggi au sia kota Tarsus, sia nusaꞌ Kilikia. Te, au uꞌumoko mia Yerusalem ia. Meser monaeꞌ Gamaliel, mana nanori au. Ana nanori au basa Baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, losa lutu-leloꞌ. Au o manggate tungga Lamatualain, onaꞌ basa nggi boe.
“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 Faiꞌ naa, au nda uloeꞌ oi ma uꞌusususaꞌ atahori mana tungga Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na sa. Au lea endi se, touꞌ ma inaꞌ, risiꞌ Yerusalem, fo tao se bui rala reu. Leleꞌ naa, ruma mate boe.
I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
5 Hita malangga monaen agama Yahudi a, no malangga feaꞌ ra, o bubꞌuluꞌ saa fo au olaꞌ ia tebꞌe! Au nda ombon-koson sa. Ara mana fee au susura koasa, fo uu toꞌu atahori mana tungga Yesus ra losa kota Damsik. Sia naa, au ae toꞌu se, fo endi se Yerusalem reu. Au duꞌa ae, hela fo atahori mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat agama ra hukun se.”
as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
6 Basa ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lao esa, au lao isiꞌ Damsik, fo ae sangga atahori mana tungga Yesus ra. Mbei ma relo a namatetu ma, hai maeꞌ a losa kotaꞌ naa. Te aiboiꞌ ma, manggareloꞌ sa mia lalai a naronda neu au,
“As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
7 de uꞌuloli. Au rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ nae, “He, Saulus! Taꞌo bee de ho tao doidꞌoso au taꞌo ia?’
I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
8 Au memaꞌ rena haraꞌ naa, te nda ita atahori sa. Ma utane ae, ‘Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?’ Haraꞌ naa, nataa nae, ‘Au ia, Yesus, atahori Nasaret, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a!’
I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
9 Atahori mana laoꞌ ro au ra o, rita manggareloꞌ naa, te nda rena haraꞌ naa sa.
“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 Boe ma, utaa ae, ‘Mete ma taꞌo naa, au musi taꞌo bee?’ Nafadꞌe nae, ‘Fela, fo kota rala muu leo. Losa naa fo, Au atahori ngga feꞌe nafadꞌe nggo basa saa fo musi taoꞌ ra.
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 Au rena ala ma, au fela rii-rii. Te au nda ita saa sa boe, huu manggareloꞌ naa seli. De nonoo nggara toꞌu ro au kota Damsik mi.
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 Sia naa hambu atahori sa naran Ananias. Rala na ndos, ma toꞌu nahereꞌ Baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara. Basa atahori Yahudi mana leo sia kota naa, hii e ma fee hadꞌat neu e.
“One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
13 Ana nema sangga au, ma olaꞌ nae, ‘Aꞌa Saul! Mulaa fo mete leo! Te aꞌa mata na nalaa ena.’ Ana olaꞌ basa ma, au botiꞌ mata ngga, ma bisa ita e.
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 Basa ma, ana nanori au nae, ‘Lamatualain, fo hita bei-bai nara hule-oꞌe neuꞌ a, ia naa, tengga nala aꞌa ena. Aꞌa ue-tatao ma, naeni muhine malolole hihii-nanau Na. No muhine Yesus, fo mia dalahulu na, hita ingga-inggaꞌ E tae “Atahori Meumareꞌ”. Ia naa, Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fo aꞌa rena mata ma mia Yesus.
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 Ana mana tengga nala aꞌa, fo muu mufadꞌe Dudꞌui Malole Na neu atahori sia bee-bꞌee. Aꞌa musi mufadꞌe basa saa, fo mita ma rena mia E.
For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
16 Afiꞌ muhani dodꞌoo fai. Muu fo moꞌe ara sarani aꞌa, fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa noꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus fee ambon neu basa sala-kilu mara.’”
Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
17 Boe ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Basa ma, au baliꞌ Yerusalem uu. Faiꞌ sa, au uu hule-oꞌe mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a ma, Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu au, onaꞌ meit e.
“When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
18 Au ita Yesus. Ma Ana parenda au nae, ‘Ho musi lao hela Yerusalem ia, leo! Huu, atahori mana sia ia ra, nda nau simbo saa fo, ho munori soꞌal Auꞌ a sa.’
and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
19 Te au nda simbo parendaꞌ naa sa, huu dalahulu na, malangga agama ra hii au. De utaa ae, ‘Taꞌo ia, Amaꞌ! Basa se bubꞌuluꞌ, faiꞌ naa, au lao uu sia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ sia bee-bꞌee, fo toꞌu ma poko atahori mana ramahere neu Amaꞌ.
I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
20 Ara o rahine rae, leleꞌ ara mbia risa Amaꞌ dedenu Na, Stefanus, te au sia naa, ma au o nau boe. Au mana utatale se raduru fatu fo mbia e. Ma au mana unea badꞌu nara.’
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 Au fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ taꞌo naa, te Yesus parenda seluꞌ fai nae, ‘Sudꞌi boe sangga dalaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ! Lao hela Yerusalem leo! Au ae denu nggo muu sia mamana dodꞌooꞌ ra, fo munori atahori nda Yahudi ra sa.’”
“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”
22 Atahori hetar rena Paulus olaꞌ nae Lamatuaꞌ denu e nisiꞌ atahori feaꞌ ra ena ma, ara nda nau rena e sa ena. Basa se ramanasa, ma nggasi randaa rae, “Afiꞌ rena atahori ia fai! Misa e leo! Ana nda nandaa nasodꞌa sa ena.”
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 Atahori naa ra nggasi taꞌo naa ma, ara olu badꞌu nara, ma ao afu de nggari ata neu, huu ramanasa seli ena.
As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
24 Malangga a nita atahori ramue fai ma, ana denu soldꞌadꞌu ra rendi Paulus nisiꞌ mamana neneaꞌ. Basa ma, ana denu se filo e, naa fo Paulus nataa nae eni tao salaꞌ saa, losa atahori Yahudi ra rae tao risa e.
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 Ara paꞌa Paulus fo rae filo e ma, ana natane baliꞌ soldꞌadꞌu naa nae, “Tungga mana parenda Roma atoran na, bee ka ndaa? Mete ma atahori sa mana naꞌena hak atahori Roma hambu dedꞌeat, hei musi tao taꞌo bee? Hei popoko miꞌihuluꞌ e, do, hei paresaꞌ miꞌihuluꞌ e?”
When they had tied him up with thongs, 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 Soldꞌadꞌu naa rena nala ma, ana neu sangga malangga na lai-lai. Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Amaꞌ! Atahori ia, naꞌena hak atahori Roma! Dadꞌi amaꞌ nae tao saa neu e?”
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 Malangga a rena nala ma, ana neu natane Paulus nae, “Oi ho muꞌena hak atahori Roma? Naa, tebꞌe do?” Paulus naselu nae, “Tebꞌe! Au toꞌu hak naa.”
The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
28 Boe ma malangga a nae, “Au o taꞌo naa boe. Au bae nae na seli, fo bisa hambu hak naa.” Te Paulus nataa fai, nae “Au naa, nda bae saa-saa sa boe. Eniꞌ a mama ngga bꞌonggi au, au toꞌu hak naa ena. Ama ngga o toꞌu hak naa boe.”
The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
29 Ara rena Paulus toꞌu hak atahori Roma ma, soldꞌadꞌu ra raꞌadꞌedꞌeaꞌ. Ara nda rambarani filo ma paresaꞌ e sa ena. Malangga a nahine nae eni tao salaꞌ nalena-langga atoran ena, huu eni paꞌa Paulus ena. Naa de, ana namatau.
Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
30 Mbilaꞌ neu ma, malangga a feꞌe nae sangga dedꞌeat a huu-pata na taꞌo bee. De ana denu soldꞌadꞌu nara reu roꞌe basa malangga mana nggero dedꞌeat agama Yahudi ra, fo raꞌabꞌue. Boe ma, ana denu reu sefi Paulus papaꞌa na, fo rendi e nisiꞌ basa atahori naa ra mata nara.
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.
