Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 26

1 AYONAE si Agripa ilegña as Pablo: Jupetmite jao na uncuentos pot jago namaesa. Ayonae si Pablo jaestira mona y canaeña ya manope pot güiya namaesa.

Then Agrippa said to Paul: You are permitted to speak for yourself. Then Paul stretched forth his hand, and answered for himself.

2 Magofyo ray, Agripa, sa jufanope pot guajo gui menamo pago na jaane, pot todo y mafaaelajo ni y Judio sija.

I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because I shall this day make my defense before you, concerning all things of which I am accused by the Jews;

3 Yan pot y jutungo na jago untungo todo y costumbre yan y finaesen gui entre y Judios; pot enaomina jutayuyut jao na con pasensiamo umaecungogyo.

especially, since you are acquainted with all the customs and questions that are among the Jews. For this reason, I beseech you to hear me patiently.

4 Y jaanejo desde y pinatgonjo, ni y finenana gui entre y nasionjo yan guiya Jerusalem, todo y Judios tumungo.

My course of life from my youth, which, from the beginning, was among my own nation in Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

5 Matungojayo desde y tutujonña, yaguin manmalago masangan, na taemanoja y mas tunas na secta y religionta, jumajanaoyo taegüije y Fariseo.

who, knowing me from the first, could testify, if they would, that, according to the strictest sect of our religion, I lived a Pharisee.

6 Ya pago, tumotojgueyo ya majus gayo pot y ninanggan y promesa ni y jafatinas si Yuus gui mañaenata.

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

7 Ni y manmaprometa y dose tribus, masestbeja si Yuus jaane yan puenge, mananangga na ufato. Ya pot ayo na ninangga ray Agripa, na mafaaelayo ni y Judio sija.

to which promise our twelve tribes, zealously serving night and day, hope to come: on account of which hope, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

8 Jaftaemano majusga y tijongguiyon entre jamyo, na si Yuus janacajulo y manmatae?

What? Is it thought a thing incredible among you, that God raises the dead?

9 Guajo magajet na jujaso gui jinalomjo, na nesesitayo jufatinas megae contra y naan Jesus Nasareno.

I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things against the name of Jesus the Nazarene.

10 Ya jufatinas este locue guiya Jerusalem; ya megae na mañantos jupreso, anae manresibeyo ninasiña guinin y magas mamale; ya anae para ufanmapuno, junae vosso contra sija.

And this I 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 vote against them.

11 Ya jucastiga sija gui sinagoga, ya juprocura na junafanman chatfino contra si Yuus; ya pot gogoslalaloyo contra sija, jupetsigue sija achogja asta otro siuda sija.

And I punished them often in every synagogue, and compelled them to speak impiously; and, being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.

12 Ya anae jumajanaoyo para Damasco yan y ninasiña guinin y magas mamale sija,

While I was engaged in these things, and was going to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

13 Y taloane, O ray, julie gui chalan y candet guinin y langet, na malagña qui y ininan y atdao, ya manina gui oriyajo yan ayo y mangachochongjo manjanao.

at midday, while I was on the road, I saw, O King, a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and those who journeyed with me.

14 Ya anae mamodongjam todo gui jilo oda, jujungog y inagang na jacuentuseyo gui fino Hebreo, ilegña: Saulo, Saulo, jafa na unpetsisigueyo? mapot para jago y unfamateg contra y títuca.

And when we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking to me, and saying, in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.

15 Ya ilegco: Jaye jao Señot? ya ilegña: Guajo si Jesus ni y unpetsisigue.

And I said, Who art thou, Lord? He replied, I am Jesus, whom you persecute.

16 Lao, cajulo ya untojgue; sa jufatoigüe jao pot este na jinaso, para junaministro jao yan untestigo ni este sija na güinaja y liniimo, yan ayo sija y pot y jufatoigüe jao;

But arise, and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness of the things which you have seen, and of those in which I will appear to you,

17 Junalibre jao gui pueblo yan y Gentiles, ya pago junajanao jao para iya sija,

delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom now I send you,

18 Para unbaba y atadogñija, yan unbira sija gui jemjom para y manana, yan y ninasiñan Satanas para as Yuus, ya ujaresibe y inasiin y isaoñija, yan erensia gui entalo ayo sija y manafangasgas pot y jinenggue ni y gaegue guiya guajo.

in order to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins, and an inheritance among the sanctified, by faith in me.

19 Ya pot ayo, ti chatmatagoyo, O ray Agripa, para y vision y langet:

Wherefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision;

20 Lao jusangane finenana ayo sija y mangaegue Damasco, yan iya Jerusalem, yan todo y tano Judea, yan y Gentiles, na ufanmañotsot ya ujabira sija para as Yuus, yan ufanmachocho y chechoñija ni y para mañotsot.

but announced first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance.

21 Sa pot este sija na maconeyo ni y Judios gui guimayuus para jumapuno.

For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple, and endeavored to kill me.

22 Lao jatacayo y inayudan Yuus, ya jusisigueja asta pago na jaane, mannanaeyo testimonio parejoja y diquique yan y dangculo; taya jusasangan na ayo y ufato ni y sinangan Moises yan y proteta sija;

Having, therefore, obtained help from God, I have stood till this day, testifying both to small and to great, saying nothing else than the things which the prophets and Moses did say should come to pass:

23 Na si Cristo, nesesitagüe ufamadese, ya güiya ufinenana, pot ucajulo guinin y manmatae, ufannae candet gui pueblo yan y Gentiles.

that Christ should suffer, and that he first, by his resurrection from the dead, should show light to the people, and to the Gentiles.

24 Ya anae cumuecuentos, umagang si Festo ni y dangculo na inagangña, ilegña: Caduco jao Pablo: megae na tiningo ninacaduco jao.

And as he spoke these things in his defense, Festus said, with a loud voice; Paul, you are mad; much learning drives you to madness.

25 Lao si Pablo ilegña: Ti caducoyo Festo; lao jusasangan y sinangan ni y magajet yan y tinas.

But he replied: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

26 Sa y ray jatungoja estesija, cumuentosyoja gui menaña locue libre; sa seguroyo na taya güine sija na güinaja umanaatog guiya güiya; sa estesija, ti manmafatinas gui rincon.

For the king has knowledge of these things, before whom, also, I speak with boldness; for I am persuaded that none of these things have escaped his notice; for this was not done in a corner.

27 Ray Agripa, unjonggue y profeta sija? jutungo na unjonggue.

King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.

28 Ayonae si Agripa ilegña as Pablo, Canaja unnamamañañayo para juquilisyano.

Then Agrippa said to Paul: You almost persuade me to be a Christian.

29 Ya si Pablo ilegña. Malagoyo as Yuus, na ti jagoja, lao todo ayo sija y jumungogyo pago na jaane, ufantaegüine iya guajo, fuera di y mapresujo.

And Paul replied: I could pray to God, that not only you, but also all that hear me to-day, were both almost and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

30 Ya anae munjayan jasangan este, cumajulo y ray yan y magalaje, yan Bernise, yan ayo sija y mangachongñiñija manmatachong.

And the king arose, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.

31 Ya anae mañuja, manguentos uno yan y otro, ilegñija: Taya finatinasña este na taotao, na jamerese y finatae, pat umapreso.

And when they had withdrawn, they conversed with one another, saying: This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

32 Ayonae ilegña si Agripa as Festo: Este na taotao, umanalibre, yaguin ti jagagao jinisgaña gui as Sesat.

And Agrippa said to Festus: This man could have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Cæsar
