Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
AKRIPA ap majani on Pauluj: Koe me jaladoklar en kapakaparok ki pein uk. Pauluj ap kapa wei lim a, kadededar pein i:
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,
I ap peren kidar main nanmarki Akripa, me i pan kapakaparok mo’mui ran wet duen meakan, me Juj oko pan kin ia la,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Pwe komui me erekilar en Juj oko ar lamalam o peipeidok kan, i ap poeki re omui, en kotin kanonama mamani ia.
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;
Ai wiawia kan arain maur i, me tapida Ierujalem ren jau i kan, Juj akan karoj aja due.
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.
Irail me aja ia jan maj kokodo, ma re men kadede ia, me nai kijan pwin kelail en at lamalam, me ad a Parijar.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Nai ari mi mon kadeik, pweki ai kaporoporeki inau o, me Kot kotiki on jam at akan.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Nan i inau o, me at kainok eijokriau kin kaporoporeki, me re pan pwaiki on ar nantion kaudok on Kot ni ran o ni pon. Main nanmarki Akripa iei kaporopor me i pan kila ren Juj oko.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Da me komail jota kamelele, me Kot kotin kaiajada me melar akan?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Maj o i kiki on, me i en wiada meakan, me kaokaoe mar en lejuj en Najaret.
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.
I me i pil wiadar nan Ierujalem; o me jaraui kan toto me I jaliedier on nan imaten murin ai aleer manaman jan ren jamero lapalap akan o irail lao kamelar, nai pil jauaja.
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.
I kame irail pan pak toto nan jinakoke kan karoj, o koidon on irail, re en lalaue, o nai linaranar kaualap pa’rail; i kin kame irail lel on kanim en wai kan.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
A ni ai wiawia mepukat, o kokolan Damajkuj ni manaman en jamero lapalap,
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.
Main nanmarki, nin jauaj i ap kilanadar nani al o marain eu jan nanlan, me linan jan katipin, me jenjereda imp ai o me ian ia kai.
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.’
Kit karoj lao pupedier nani pwel, i ap ronadar nil eu, katitiki on ia ni lokaia en Ipru: Jaul, Jaul da me koe kamekame kin ia? Nan a pan apwal on uk, en tametame tek o.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Nai ari idok: Ij komui Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani: Nai lejuj, me koe kin kame.
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;
Koe ari paurida, kajinenda, pwe i me I pwaraki don uk, pwen kajapwil uk ada, pwe koe en papa o jaunkadede men en meakan, me koe kilanada, o meakan, me I pan kapwara don uk.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
O l pan dondore jan uk ni pa en aramaj akan o men liki kan me I pan kadar uk wei on,
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.’
Pwen kapad pajan maj arail, pwe re en wuki jan rotorot, wuki on marain, o jan ni manaman en Jatan on Kot, pwe re en lapwa jan dip ar akan, o ren ale ar jojo ren me kamakelekele kidar pojon.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Ari main nanmarki Akripa, I jota jopeiki on kajanjal en nanlan o.
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.
Pwe maj i padaki on toun Damajkuj o Ierujalem, o jap en ludaa kan, o men liki kan, en kalula o wiiki on Kot, o kapwaiada wan kalula mau.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Nan i me Juj akan jaik ia kidi nan im en kaudok o, o re jon kame ia la.
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,
Ari jo, en Kot a kotin ieian ia, me i mimieki lao lel ran wet, padapadaki me tikitik o me laud akan, o jota me i inda, i eta, me jaukop akan o Mojej pil majanier, me pan wiaui:
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.”
leteten, Krijtuj en kamekam, o me a pan men maj en me pan iajada jan ren me melar akan, o padaki on toun wei o pil on men liki kan duen marain o.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
A ni a kapun kila mepukat, pein i Pejtuj ap nil laudeda majani: Pauluj, koe iakalar! om jukujukul toto me kapwepwe uk adar.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
A Pauluj kotin majani: I jota iakalar main ijou Pejtuj, a kin kida kajoi melel o pun.
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.
Pwe nanmarki kotin mani duen mepukat; i me i pil aima padapadakieki on i, pwe i aja, jota meakot, me a jota kotin ereki, pwe kaidin waja rir, me mepukat wiauier.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Nanmarki Akripa, komui pojon jaukop akan? I aja, me komui kin pojon.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Akripa ap majani on Pauluj: Me tar kij, a komui pan kainon on ia en jaulanala.
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.”
Pauluj majani: I nonki on Kot, me komui o karoj, me roneron ia ran wet, en dueta nai, a iermen jal mata pot et.
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Nanmarki, o kopina, o Pernije, o me ian irail kaipokedi waja o, ap kotida,
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
O kelepala, ap kapakaparok nan pun ar mamajani: Aramaj men et jota kin wiada me war on kamela de jalidi.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Akripa ap majani on Pejtuj: Aramaj men et pan lapwada, ma a jota dorolan Jija.
