Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Chujou chun, Agrippa in Paul jah ah, “Nakihonna thuphong thei in nate,” ati. Hichun Paul in akhut alhang doh in akihon nathu asei tai.
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
“Kakipah lheh jeng e, Leng Agrippa, tunia Juda lamkai hon themmo eichen nau chung chang a kakihon nathu ja ah nang bou nahi.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Ajeh chu judate kivaipoh dol le akinel bautam nau hethem ah nahi kahen, hijeh chun kathusei hi lung neng tah in nei ngai peh in.”
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
Keima ka chapan lai a pat a kanam mite lah le Jerusalem a kon hung seilen a, Juda nam chon le khan kichuh them sa kahi hi Juda lamkai hon ahetsoh keiyu ahi.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Amahon asei nom ule, atil a pat a ahet jing sau Pharisee mi, hou thudol a chondan kikhel tah kahi aheuve.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Chule tuahi kapu kapa teu heng a Pathen tepsa hung guilhung ding kakinep na thudol a, kachung thu khol dia hikom a ding ah kahi.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Adih tah a sei din, Israel phungsom le phung nin sun le jan a anahou jing u ahi. Vo Lengpa hiche kinep na thudol a Judaten eiheh-u ahi bouve.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Ipijeh a Pathen in mi thisa atho doh sah thei thudol hi tahsan lel nahiu vem?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Keima jeng jong Nazareth Yeshua min douna a thil ijakai bol ding kana ngai tosa ahi.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
Atah beh in jong Jerusalema kana bol in, Thempu pipui ho a kon in thuneina kalan, mitheng tampi songkul'ah kana khum in chule atha jeng-u jong chu pha kasan ahi.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Phat atam jon houthu dol a akikhop nau in tina jong talent kamat sah jin, Yeshua atahsan nau taitom sah in hoise tah in kana douvin, gamdang miho khopi dung gei in kana nocheh jin ahi.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
Nikhat hi katoh ban tong jom din Thempu pipui ho thuneina le thusah keng in Damascus jon in kachen ahi.
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
Sunkim don tah in, vo Lengpa, lampia chun van'a kon nisa sang a vah jo vah khat in keile kalhon piho eihin khouvin ahile.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Kabon chau vin kalhu sohtauvin ahi, hichun, Aramaic paovin kajah a, “Saul, Saul ibola nang in nei bolset jing ham? Nei dou jinghi nang a din aphat chom na aumpoi,” eiti.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Hichun keiman, “Nang koi nahim, Pakai?” kati. “Hichun, Aman eihin donbut in, ‘nabol set jing Yeshua chu kahi.
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
Tun nakeng in pansan ding in, nangma leiset kolkim vel'a kathu hettohsah le kalhacha a pang ding, chule nathil mu chengse le kahin musah kit ding chengse hettohsah a pansah ding a hung kilah kahi
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Chule kasol na chidang namdang te lah le nanam mite lah a kon a kahuh doh jing ding nahi,
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Amit'u hasah a, muthim lah a kona lungheiya khovah ahin mu nathei diule satan thanei na a kon a Pathen heng a ahung kihei nathei diu, chule chonset ngaidam na achan thei nadiu le tahsan jal a Pathen mite ahithei nadiuva kasol ding nahi,’ eiti.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Chule, Leng Agrippa, vanlam'a kon themgao thilmu kamu thua nung ah kahi.
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Amasan Damascus a umho heng a kahil lhanglen, chu jouvin Jerusalem le Juda gamkol sung chukitle chidang namdang ho heng ah, chonset kisih a Pathen lam ahin bel nadiu le alung hei utoh lhon a thilpha abolna diuvin kahil lhanglei.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Hiche thu kahil lhang le jeh a hi Judahon Houin sung a eimat uva, thading eigot u ahi.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
Ahin tuphat chana Pathen venbitna kachan jeh in mijouse, aneo kom hihen alenkom hijong le hettohsah in kapang jing e. Thudang ima kahilpoi Themgao hole Mosen hung guilhung ding a aseiyu–
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
Christan hesoh genthei athoh a, thina a kon a thoudoh masapen a pang ding, chuleh Judate le chidang namdang ho heng a Pathen vah thudol aphondoh ding je kasei ahibouve,” ati.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Photlot louvin Festus chu ahung pengjah jeng in, “Paul angol ah nahitai; nalekha thep nan nangol sah ahitai,” ati.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Hichun Paul in adonbut in, “Angol a kahipoi, vo Lalchungnung Festus, kicheh tah a thudih kasei joh ahibouve.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
Chule Agrippa Lengpan jong ahei. Ijeh inem itile aning koi a kibol ahilou jeh in aman hitobang ho hi ahesoh keiye ti kichen tah in kahei, hijeh a chu hangsan tah a kasei ahi,” ati.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Leng Agrippa, themgao ho natahsan em? Natahsan e ti kahei, ati.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Hichun Agrippa in, “Kintah a Christian hisah jeng thei dia nei gel ham?” ati.
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
Chuin Paul in adonbut in, “Gang henlang gang hih jongle, nangle hiva mipi umjouse hi, thih khaova kakihen naho tilouvin keima tobang hisoh kei ule tin, Pathen hengah kataove,” ati.
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Hichun Lengpa, Gamvaipo, Bernice chule adangho se adingdoh un adalha tauve.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Apotdoh uva akihou naule akinopto nau chun “Hiche mipa hin thina le songkul tan-na thei changei ima bolset aneipoi,” atiuve.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Chule Agrippa in Festus jah a, “Aman Caesar henga dinga ngehna anabollou hile lhadoh thei ahitai,” ati.
