Acts 22
1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence [which I make] now unto you.
“Eigi Jihudi ichil inao amadi ipa ipalsing nakhoigi mangda eigi ngakthokchabagi wa haijaba asi tabiyu!”
2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith, )
Mahakna Hebrew londa ngangba adu tabada makhoi amukka henna tuminna leirammi maduda Paul-na makha tarak-i.
3 I am verily a man [which am] a Jew, born in Tarsus, [a city] in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, [and] taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
“Eihak Cilicia-gi Tarsus-ta pokpa Jihudi amani adubu ei sahar asida Gamaliel-gi maheiroi ama oina chaorakkhi. Eikhoigi ipa ipusinggi Wayel Yathangbu ningthijana tamjarakkhi aduga ngasi nakhoi pumnamakna Tengban Mapugidamak thawai luppagumna eihaksu thawai luplammi.
4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
Lambi asigi matung inbasingbu siba phaoba eina ot neikhi. Eihakna nupa amasung nupisingbu phaduna keisumsangda thamjinkhi.
5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
Purohitlen amasung ahallupki ahal laman apumbanasu eina hairiba asi achumbani haina makhoina sakhi piba ngamgani. Damascus-ta leiba Jihudi luchingbasingda i-ba chithising adu makhoidagi louraga eina mising adubu pharaga Jerusalem-da puraktuna cheirak pinaba eina mapham aduda chatlammi.”
6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
“Eina asum chatpada Damascus naksillaklammi, madu numit yungba matam aduwaidani ikhang khanghoudana atiyadagi yamna langba mangal amana eigi akoibada ngallaklammi.
7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Adudagi ei leimaida tuthakhi aduga khonjel amana eingonda, ‘Saul! Saul! Nahakna eibu karigi ot neiribano?’ haiba eina tarammi.
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Maduda eina hangkhi, ‘Ibungo nahak kanano?’ Aduga mahakna eingonda hairak-i, ‘Eihak nangna ot neiriba Nazareth-ki Jisuni.’
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
Eiga loinaba misingna mangal adu urammi adubu eingonda ngangliba mahak adugi khonjeldi makhoina takhide.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Aduga eina hangjakhi, ‘Ibungo, eina kari toujagadage?’ Aduga Ibungona eingonda hairak-i, ‘Hougatlu aduga Damascus-ta chatlu mapham aduda Tengban Mapuna hannana langkhraba nahakna tougadabasing adu nangonda haibigani.’
11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Langlaba mangal adugi maramna eihak mit uramde maram aduna eiga loinaribasingna eibu khut samduna Damascus tanna chingbirammi.”
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt [there],
“Sahar aduda leiba Jihudi pumnamakna yamna ikai khumnaba amadi wayel yathang ngakpa amasung laining chetpa Ananias kouba nupa ama leirammi.
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Mahakna eigi inakta laktuna leplaga eingonda hairak-i, ‘Ichil inao Saul, nahak uba phangjaro.’ Mitkup adumaktada eina amuk uba phangjare aduga eina mahakpu ure.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Mahakna hairak-i, ‘Eikhoigi ipa ipusinggi Tengban Mapuna mahakki aningba khangnaba, Achumba chatpa Ibungo Mahak adu uba phangnanaba amasung mahakmakki khonjelna ngangba tananaba nahakpu khandokle.
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Nahakna ukhraba amasung takhraba adugi maramda mi pumnamakta tamnaba nahakna Ibungo mahakki sakhi oigani.
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Houjik nahakna karigi thintharibano? Hougatlu, baptize lou amadi Ibungoda haijaduna napapsing chamthokchou.’
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
“Eina Jerusalem-da hallaklammi aduga Mapugi Sanglenda eina haijaringeida, uhanbiba ama eina urammi.
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Maduda eina Ibungobu urammi aduga asumna mahakna eingonda hairak-i, ‘Khonglei thuro, thunamak Jerusalem thadoklo maramdi eigi maramda nahakna haiba adu makhoina louroi.’
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
Maduda eina khumlammi, ‘Ibungo eina synagogue khudingda chattuna Ibungobu thajabasingbu phaduna keisum sangda thamkhi amasung phukhi haiba makhoina phajana khang-i.
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
Ibungogi sakhi oikhiba Stephen-bu hatpa matamda ei isasu mapham aduda leirammi. Mahak hatpa adu eihakna yakhi amasung mahakpu hatlibasing adugi maphi marolsing eina sennarammi.’
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
Maduda Ibungona eingonda hairak-i, ‘Chatlo! Eina nahakpu mapham asidagi thapna Jihudi nattaba phurupsingda thagani.’”
22 And they gave him audience unto this word, and [then] lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a [fellow] from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
Paul-na ngangba wa adu masi phaoba makhoina tarammi, adudagi makhoina khonjel houna laorak-i, “Asigumba mi asi malemdagi mang-hankhro! Mahak hatlu! Mahak hingbada matik chade!”
23 And as they cried out, and cast off [their] clothes, and threw dust into the air,
Makhoina laona laona makhoigi maphi marol koihai hairammi amasung nongthaklomda uphul chaikhatlammi.
24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
Lanmi leiphamda Paul-bu pusinnaba lanmi makok aduna magi lanmisingda yathang pirammi. Aduga Jihudisingna mahakki mathakta asuk kanna laoribasi kari maramgi laoribano haiba khangnanaba Paul-bu phuduna hangnaba mahakna yathang pirammi.
25 And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Makhoina mahakpu phunaba pullabada Paul-na manakta lepliba lanmi chamagi mapu aduda hairak-i, “Rome-gi mi amabu maral amagi wayendringeida phuba asi wayel pathapna yabra?”
26 When the centurion heard [that], he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
Lanmi chamagi mapu aduna masi tabada, mahakna lanmi makokki manakta chattuna hairammi, “Nahakna touribasi karino? Nupa adu Rome-gi mi amani.”
27 Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
Maram aduna lanmi makok aduna laktuna Paul-da hanglak-i, “Nahak Rome-gi mi amara haibadu eingonda haiyu?” Paul-na khumlak-i, “Hoi, manni.”
28 And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was [free] born.
Lanmi makok aduna hairak-i, “Eina sel yamna piduna Rome-gi mi oiba phangjakhi.” Adubu Paul-na khumlak-i, “Adubu eidi pokpadagi oiraklabani.”
29 Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Khudak aduda Paul-bu wa hangnaba touramba mising adu mangondagi chatthokkhre. Aduga Paul Rome-gi mi amani haiba mahakna khanglakpa matamda amasung mahakpu pullubagi maramna lanmi makok adu kirammi.
30 On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from [his] bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
Lanmigi makok aduna Jihudisingna Paul-bu kari maramda maral siribano haiba mahakna chap chana khangningladuna mathanggi numitta Paul-bu thadoklammi. Aduga athoiba purohitsing amasung Sanhedrin-gi mi pumnamak tinnanaba yathang pirammi. Adudagi mahakna Paul-bu puthoraktuna makhoigi mamangda lep-hallammi.
