Nangen Nob Tomange 26

1 La agrippa yi Bulus, “Mon nyam coka doremwei la Bulus kunkan ceko yoten condorceroti.”

Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Yoʋ have permission to speak for yoʋrself.” So Paul stretched out his hand and began to make his defense:

2 Miki Fuwor nerer, liya Agrippa, ki kerowo yahudawa bouti cuko dor mireu.

“I consider myself fortunate that it is before yoʋ, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense today concerning all the things of which I am being accused by the Jews,

3 Nyori mo nii yumka mor den Yahudawa kange yabciebo. Nyori mikenenti. Nyoli bob nermwero kange bwewo.

especially since yoʋ are acquainted with all the customs and controversies of the Jews. Therefore I beg yoʋ to listen to me patiently.

4 Miyi komti gwam yahudawa yubram fiye yim kallemibo fiye wucakke kange Ursalima.

“All the Jews know about my manner of life from my youth up, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem.

5 Cin yubrangum ye ki kaba, daten ciya yumom miyiyen na bafarasawa.

They have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived as a Pharisee.

6 Naweu miki naci mamen bolang nawo wori nor wa kwama tu tebbyebbo ni nen.

And now I am standing trial because of my hope in the promise God made to our fathers,

7 Wo cou nure ber gero kwab curomboyo yoti ner wiye. ciya wou ki kwamawo ci wabkwamati ki nero win fiye kwama wiyeu kakum kange kume. Ki yoka nerewa, Liya agrippa, yahudawa buranti.

a promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain as they earnestly serve him night and day. Regarding this hope, King Agrippa, I am being accused by the Jews.

8 Ye bwikange aburank ti ki diker yumanko kwama akun nob bweyame?

Why is it deemed unbelievable by you that God raises the dead?

9 La mi burankge ki maka dikero kiden Yesu bana zaret.

“Indeed, I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 Min ma buranka mor Ursalima, mi ku nob bwika kwamako duce mor Fursuna. Ki bikwan do wo mifiya fiye nob dur wabero wiyeu, kange wo ci twerciti mineci mwerka duwen.

And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. I locked up many of the saints in prison by the authority I received from the chief priests, and when they were being put to death, I cast my vote against them.

11 neci dotange duce kwab kuh wabe mi cuti nan dongcinen naci ma burkane. Ma ma kiye ciren kangeci minaci dotange yaken cuka bitiye tim bokage.

I also punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to force them to blaspheme. And being furiously enraged against them, I pursued them even to foreign cities.

12 Ki kwamawo mima buroka boti mi yaken Dimaskus ki ciyaka dur nob wabe.

“While engaged in such things, I was on my way to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

13 Mor yame mi, ki kaku, mo liya mito firen dikawama wo la kaku filanken filanko ketenye, kange nubo nyo yakenti wari.

when at midday, O king, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who were traveling with me.

14 Kabom kwaob nyo yarken bitine, minuwa diro kange tok keroti kange mwoh ki nye Ibranciyawa yiti ki, shawulu, Shawulu ye bwi mon neye dotange tiye? bwikabo na kundike cucuwe.

When we had all fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me? It is hard for yoʋ to kick against the goads.’

15 La miki webo teluwe? Teluwe ciya mo Yesu wo mone dotange.

I said, ‘Who are yoʋ, Lord?’ He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.

16 Naweu kwen titiye ki co kerowo manun dor miro munenen nan yome? na yilam canga kange nii warkere dor dike moyume dormireu nawo kange wuro miyinentiye. fokab.

But rise and stand on yoʋr feet, for I have appeared to yoʋ for this purpose, to appoint yoʋ as a servant and witness to the things yoʋ have seen and to the things in which I will appear to yoʋ.

17 Man cuken fiye nobo wiye kange nubo ma to ci fiye mowiyeu.

I will rescue yoʋ from yoʋr own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending yoʋ

18 Na mo wumom nuwage ciyeu yilau ki ci kumtacile yilau ki ci filank. na cin fiya cerka fiye yuwako bwirko wiyeu na ci you yuwa kwama, kange fuloka dikero bwir nen wo cha ne nubo bwang ten co tiyeu.

to open their eyes so that they may turn away from darkness to light, and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an allotment among those who have been sanctified by faith in me.’

19 La nyori, liya Agrippa miken kom kangumbo ki dukumbo wamito dikwamau.

“Consequently, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

20 Dila, kabokoce buro mor Dimaskus. kange Ursalima kange biten Yahudawa gwam, kange nob furenebo, mima cinen bwiranke naci yiloten fiye kwama wiyeu, cin ma dike daten yilokau.

but first to those in Damascus and then to those in Jerusalem, to all the region of Judea and to the Gentiles, I proclaimed that they should repent and turn to God, doing works consistent with repentance.

21 Co dike bwi yahudawa ci tamce mor kuh wabe ci cuiti naci twalum co.

That is why the Jews seized me in the temple courts and were trying to kill me.

22 Kwama tikang wo duwin mi tim kabum bibei kange nubo dur, warke dor dike annabawa kange Musa toki abwitiye.

But having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying to both small and great, saying nothing except what the Prophets and Moses said would take place:

23 Dong dong Almasiya a nuwa dotange anyi lam kaba wociyar komti bwere an tok filang fiye yahudawa kange nubo yumbo kwama.

that the Christ would suffer and that, as the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

24 Kambo Bulus dim coka duwek cekori, Festus tok kero ki dir, ki Bulus twaka mani ki nyomka mweka donen twalka.

As Paul was saying these things in his own defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Yoʋ are out of yoʋr mind, Paul. Too much learning is driving yoʋ insane!”

25 Dila Bulus yico, “mitwalbo nii dur Festus kibi kwan nerer mi tok bilenke tiye kange cinen.

But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking words of truth and good sense.

26 Wori liya yum bo dike burombo gwam, co dike bwi mitok keroti kibi kwane, wori miyom dike kange mani wo yurangum yurange.

For the king knows about these things, to whom I am speaking boldly. I am convinced that none of these things has escaped his notice at all, for this has not been done in a corner.

27 Mo ne bilenke kange nob tomange dukumbo, ko liya agrippa? mi nyomom mo ne bilenke.

Do yoʋ believe the Prophets, King Agrippa? I know that yoʋ believe.”

28 Agrippa ni yi Bulus mor kere biduware muki cui namo bwolye na yilam nii bwanka kwama ka?

Agrippa said to Paul, “Do yoʋ think yoʋ can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly?”

29 Bulus yiki “miki nanenti kwama, mor kene bi dure kange kene dur, kebo mo ki kwama, gwam kange nubo nuwa yilam na mo.

Paul said, “Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that not only yoʋ but also all who are listening to me today would become as I am, except for these chains.”

30 Liya kweni ti kange nubo dur kange Bernice, kange nubo gwam yilamom kange.

After Paul said these things, the king stood up, along with the governor, Bernice, and those who were sitting with them.

31 kambo ci dubom ku wabe ri cin ter tok kako kere ko bwiti ci ciki, “Nii wo mabo dike dotange borom kange bwika.”

After leaving the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is doing nothing that deserves death or imprisonment.”

32 Agrippa yi Festus ki naki niwo tumbo kiyage yakenbo cuko kaisar nadi noci yamkancinen.

And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
