Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 26
1 Basa naa ma, mane Agripa denu Paulus oi, “Musulaꞌe ao ma leo. Basa hai mae rena nggo ena.” Boe ma Paulus lo lima na, ma olaꞌ nae,
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
2 “Ama mane Agripa nenefee hadꞌat. Au umuhoꞌo, huu amaꞌ fee au ufadꞌe neu amaꞌ se, basa dalaꞌ saa fo atahori Yahudi ra rapepenggo neu auꞌ a.
I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
3 Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ nahine tebꞌe, hai atahori Yahudi ra adat ma, ma hai masodꞌa mate-mori mara. Dadꞌi au oꞌe amaꞌ rena malolole.
Especially [because I know] thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
4 Eniꞌ a aꞌana ngga, ara ranori au tungga adat atahori Yahudi ra. Fefeu na, ranori au mia kamboꞌ ngga; basa ma uma sakola seluꞌ mia Yerusalem. Atahori Yahudi mana sia Yerusalem ra, bubꞌuluꞌ au masodꞌa ngga, ma rahine au no maloleꞌ.
My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
5 Mete ma malangga agama ra nau, ara bisa dui oi sira rahine au mia doo na neu. Te au ia, masoꞌ partei agama Farisi boe. Basa atahori bubꞌuluꞌ, hai atahori Farisi ia ra, mana toꞌu mihereꞌ atahori Yahudi ra atoran agama na.
Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
6 Au, o basa atahori Israꞌel leo kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra, mihani Lamatualain tao tungga hehelu-fufuli Na. Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na no hita bei-baꞌi nara. Naa de, losa ia basa hai hule-oꞌe hatuꞌ-rerelon fo Lamatualain tao natetu hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa leo. Hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa oi, dei fo Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra. Ama mane Agripa nenefee hadꞌat. Huu au umehere ae, dei fo Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates, naa de ara radꞌedꞌea ro au. Au ae utane: taꞌo bee de hei ruma nda nau mimihere mae Lamatualain bisa tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra sa? Ana bisa!
And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
Unto which [promise] our twelve tribes, instantly serving [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope’s sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
9 Dalahulu na, memaꞌ au sudꞌiꞌ a tao sa, fo labꞌan uhereꞌ basa atahori mana tungga Yesus, atahori Nasaret a.
I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
10 Leleꞌ naa, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra fee koasa neu au, fo uu tao uꞌusususaꞌ Yesus atahori nara sia bee-bꞌee. Au toꞌu se, ma nore o se Yerusalem rema, fo tao se bui rala reu. Au o tungga uꞌetuꞌ hukun isa ruma. Au masoꞌ ume hule-oꞌeꞌ ra, fo tao doidꞌoso se. Ma uꞌususuuꞌ se fo rasadea Yesus. Au uu oi se lao hetar no nasaat. Sadꞌi au rena atahori mana ramahere Yesus sia bee, mae losa nusa feaꞌ o, au uu oi se!”
Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against [them].
And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled [them] to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted [them] even unto strange cities.
12 Boe ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lao esa, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra fee susura koasa neu au fo uu oi Yesus atahori nara sia kota Damsik. Boe ma, au o uu boe.
Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
13 Ama mane Agripa! Leleꞌ hai feꞌe sia dalaꞌ, mbei ma reorendu na, aiboiꞌ ma, manggareloꞌ sa mia lalai a ronda na seli, delo dai au o nonoo nggara.
At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
14 Basa hai miꞌiloli, huu manggerelo na seli. Au rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ no au, nendiꞌ dedꞌea Aram oi, ‘We Saul! Taꞌo bee de ho akaꞌ tao doidꞌoso Au mukundooꞌ a? Susa neu nggo, mete ma ho akaꞌ a labꞌan Au hihii Ngga.’
And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
15 Au rena haraꞌ naa, te nda ita atahori na sa. De au utane ae, ‘Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka e?’ Haraaꞌ naa nataa oi, ‘Au ia, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌoso mukundondooꞌ a.
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 Saul! Fela leo! Au utudꞌu ao ngga neu ho ia, fo dadꞌi Au atahori namahere ngga. Ho musi muu mufadꞌe basa atahori ra, saa fo mita mia Au faiꞌ ia. Dei fo Au utudꞌu seluꞌ fai, mata-feuꞌ ra, fo bisa muu mufadꞌe atahori ra.
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Dei fo ho hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te au unea nggo mia atahori mana rae raꞌasususaꞌ ho ra, mae mia atahori Yahudi, do mia atahori feaꞌ ra. Tebꞌe! Au denu nggo misiꞌ atahori nda Yahudi ra sa.
Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 Muu tao mulaa mata nara, fo rahine, ma rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a. Naa fo, ara lao hela sira dala masodꞌa sala nara. Ho o musi mutudꞌu se dala masodꞌa ndos, ma mboꞌi se mia nitu ra malangga na koasa na, fo mendi se risiꞌ Lamatualain. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala nara. Ma ara o dadꞌi Lamatualain atahori Nara, onaꞌ atahori feaꞌ fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ ra, huu ramahere Au. Au ufadꞌe ho baꞌu a naa ena, Saul.’”
To open their eyes, [ and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
19 Basa naa ma, Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo oi, “Ama maneꞌ. Ue-tataos fo au simbo mia sorga naa, au ue-tao ena. Ma au o feꞌe ue-tao e, nda uꞌudꞌedꞌeaꞌ mbei saꞌ boe, losa faiꞌ ia.
Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 Fefeu na au ufadꞌe Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na neu atahori Yahudi ra sia Damsik. Basa de au uma ufadꞌe atahori Yahudi mana sia Yerusalem, ma basa nusaꞌ Yudea. Basa ma, au lao ndule atahori nda Yahudi ra nusa nara. Au olaꞌ relo-relo neu basa se, fo ara lao hela dala masodꞌa sala nara, ma fee ao nara neu Lamatualain. Ara musi tao malole sia masodꞌa nara neu atahori feaꞌ, fo dadꞌi bukti oi sira dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ ena sia Lamatuaꞌ.
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
21 Huu au ue-tao taꞌo naa, atahori Yahudi ra toꞌu au mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ sia Yerusalem. Ara o rae tao risa au boe.
For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill [me].
22 Te Lamatualain tulu-fali au. Naa de, au feꞌe usodꞌa losa ia. Huu naa, au feꞌe umburiꞌ sia ia, fo dui-bꞌengga fee basa atahori anak-moko, soꞌal Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na. Saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, ndaa no basa saa fo baꞌi Musa no Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara ranori eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na.
Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
23 Ara ranori soꞌal Kristus, atahori fo Lamatualain helu nae fee nemaꞌ a. Oi, Ana musi doidꞌoso, fo mate, te basa naa, Ana dadꞌi atahori fo Lamatualain nafefela naꞌahuluꞌ a. Dei fo Ana mana fee manggareloꞌ neu atahori Yahudi ra, no atahori feaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.”
That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
24 Paulus feꞌe olaꞌ ue-tatao na ma, Festus olaꞌ nggero dedꞌea na nahereꞌ oi, “He! Paulus! Mbei ma ho mamuluꞌ. Muhine naeꞌ seli, de tao uta ma nda matetuꞌ sa.”
And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
25 Te Paulus nataa oi, “Ama hofernor nenefee hadꞌat. Au nda umulu sa. Basa saa fo au olaꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Au nda ander-ander sa.
But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
26 Ama Mane Agripa nahine saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Naa de, au umburani olaꞌ relo-relo. Au umuhere ama maneꞌ rena basa ia ra ena, huu saa fo mana dadꞌi ena, nda dadꞌi sia mamana maꞌafuniꞌ sa. Oi, Yesus mana mateꞌ naa, nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Basa atahori o, bubꞌuluꞌ ena.
For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
27 Mia dalahulu na, Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara rafadꞌe basa ena. Au umburani uꞌuheheeꞌ ae, ama maneꞌ o namahere mana ola-olaꞌ naa ra oꞌola nara, to?”
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
28 Te mane Agripa olaꞌ nggero nae, “Weh! Paulus! Nda dooꞌ sa te, ho mae tao au dadꞌi atahori Kristen!”
Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
29 Paulus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, amaꞌ. Au hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, fo dooꞌ, do losaꞌ o, nda akaꞌ a ama maneꞌ sa, te basa atahori mana rena neu au oꞌola ngga ia, bisa dadꞌi Yesus atahori nara, onaꞌ au. Te sadꞌi amaꞌ se afiꞌ dadꞌi atahori nda nenemboꞌit, onaꞌ au ia sa.”
And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
30 Paulus olaꞌ basa ma, mane Agripa no feto na Bernike, ma hofernor Festus, ro basa atahori monaen ra, fela rambariiꞌ de baliꞌ.
And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
31 Ara lao dea reu ma, ara ola-olaꞌ oi, “Atahori ia nda tao salaꞌ nandaa no hukun mate sa. Ma nda nandaa tao e bui rala neu sa!”
And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
32 Boe ma mane Agripa nafadꞌe hofernor Festus oi, “Kasian o! Atahori ia noꞌe hene nisiꞌ mamana nggenggero huuꞌ a sia Roma. Hokoꞌ naa, dedꞌeat ia basa ena, ma ana o neneꞌmboꞌit ena.”
Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Cæsar.
