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, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the 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 answer for myself this day before thee, concerning all the 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, [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 Y jaanejo desde y pinatgonjo, ni y finenana gui entre y nasionjo yan guiya Jerusalem, todo y Judios tumungo.

My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among my own nation at 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 knew me from the beginning, (if they would testify) that after 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, assiduously serving [God] day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews.

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

Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise 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 contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

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.

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].

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 blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted [them] even to foreign cities.

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

Upon which as I went 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 mid-day, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, surpassing the brightness of the sun, shining around me, and them 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 persecutest thou me? [It is] hard for thee 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? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

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 rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared to thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of the things which thou hast seen, and of the things in which I will appear to thee;

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

Delivering thee from the people, and [from] the Gentiles, to whom now I send thee,

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.

To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them who are sanctified by faith that is in me.

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

Upon which O 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 showed first to them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and [then] to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

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

For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about 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 continue to this day, testifying both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

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 should be the first that should rise from the dead, and 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 was thus speaking for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee insane.

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

But he said, I am not insane, most noble 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 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 Ray Agripa, unjonggue y profeta sija? jutungo na unjonggue.

King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

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

Then Agrippa said to Paul, Almost thou persuadest 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 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 Ya anae munjayan jasangan este, cumajulo y ray yan y magalaje, yan Bernise, yan ayo sija y mangachongñiñija manmatachong.

And when he had thus spoken, the king rose, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that 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 gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth 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.

Then said Agrippa to Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Cesar.
