Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defence.
Basa naa ma, mane Agripa denu Paulus oi, “Musulaꞌe ao ma leo. Basa hai mae rena nggo ena.” Boe ma Paulus lo lima na, ma olaꞌ nae,
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defence before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Judeans,
“Ama mane Agripa nenefee hadꞌat. Au umuhoꞌo, huu amaꞌ fee au ufadꞌe neu amaꞌ se, basa dalaꞌ saa fo atahori Yahudi ra rapepenggo neu auꞌ a.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are amongst Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Au bubꞌuluꞌ amaꞌ nahine tebꞌe, hai atahori Yahudi ra adat ma, ma hai masodꞌa mate-mori mara. Dadꞌi au oꞌe amaꞌ rena malolole.
4 “Indeed, all Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning amongst my own nation and at Jerusalem;
Eniꞌ a aꞌana ngga, ara ranori au tungga adat atahori Yahudi ra. Fefeu na, ranori au mia kamboꞌ ngga; basa ma uma sakola seluꞌ mia Yerusalem. Atahori Yahudi mana sia Yerusalem ra, bubꞌuluꞌ au masodꞌa ngga, ma rahine au no maloleꞌ.
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.
Mete ma malangga agama ra nau, ara bisa dui oi sira rahine au mia doo na neu. Te au ia, masoꞌ partei agama Farisi boe. Basa atahori bubꞌuluꞌ, hai atahori Farisi ia ra, mana toꞌu mihereꞌ atahori Yahudi ra atoran agama na.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Au, o basa atahori Israꞌel leo kasanahulu ruaꞌ ra, mihani Lamatualain tao tungga hehelu-fufuli Na. Ana tao hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na no hita bei-baꞌi nara. Naa de, losa ia basa hai hule-oꞌe hatuꞌ-rerelon fo Lamatualain tao natetu hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa leo. Hehelu-fufuliꞌ naa oi, dei fo Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra. Ama mane Agripa nenefee hadꞌat. Huu au umehere ae, dei fo Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates, naa de ara radꞌedꞌea ro au. Au ae utane: taꞌo bee de hei ruma nda nau mimihere mae Lamatualain bisa tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ atahori mates ra sa? Ana bisa!
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Judeans, King Agrippa!
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Yeshua of Nazareth.
Dalahulu na, memaꞌ au sudꞌiꞌ a tao sa, fo labꞌan uhereꞌ basa atahori mana tungga Yesus, atahori Nasaret a.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the holy ones in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
Leleꞌ naa, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra fee koasa neu au, fo uu tao uꞌusususaꞌ Yesus atahori nara sia bee-bꞌee. Au toꞌu se, ma nore o se Yerusalem rema, fo tao se bui rala reu. Au o tungga uꞌetuꞌ hukun isa ruma. Au masoꞌ ume hule-oꞌeꞌ ra, fo tao doidꞌoso se. Ma uꞌususuuꞌ se fo rasadea Yesus. Au uu oi se lao hetar no nasaat. Sadꞌi au rena atahori mana ramahere Yesus sia bee, mae losa nusa feaꞌ o, au uu oi se!”
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.
12 “Whereupon as I travelled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
Boe ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lao esa, malangga agama Yahudi malangga ra fee susura koasa neu au fo uu oi Yesus atahori nara sia kota Damsik. Boe ma, au o uu boe.
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 travelled with me.
Ama mane Agripa! Leleꞌ hai feꞌe sia dalaꞌ, mbei ma reorendu na, aiboiꞌ ma, manggareloꞌ sa mia lalai a ronda na seli, delo dai au o nonoo nggara.
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.’
Basa hai miꞌiloli, huu manggerelo na seli. Au rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ no au, nendiꞌ dedꞌea Aram oi, ‘We Saul! Taꞌo bee de ho akaꞌ tao doidꞌoso Au mukundooꞌ a? Susa neu nggo, mete ma ho akaꞌ a labꞌan Au hihii Ngga.’
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
Au rena haraꞌ naa, te nda ita atahori na sa. De au utane ae, ‘Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka e?’ Haraaꞌ naa nataa oi, ‘Au ia, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌoso mukundondooꞌ a.
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;
Saul! Fela leo! Au utudꞌu ao ngga neu ho ia, fo dadꞌi Au atahori namahere ngga. Ho musi muu mufadꞌe basa atahori ra, saa fo mita mia Au faiꞌ ia. Dei fo Au utudꞌu seluꞌ fai, mata-feuꞌ ra, fo bisa muu mufadꞌe atahori ra.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Dei fo ho hambu sususaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ. Te au unea nggo mia atahori mana rae raꞌasususaꞌ ho ra, mae mia atahori Yahudi, do mia atahori feaꞌ ra. Tebꞌe! Au denu nggo misiꞌ atahori nda Yahudi ra sa.
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 amongst those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Muu tao mulaa mata nara, fo rahine, ma rasodꞌa sia manggareloꞌ a. Naa fo, ara lao hela sira dala masodꞌa sala nara. Ho o musi mutudꞌu se dala masodꞌa ndos, ma mboꞌi se mia nitu ra malangga na koasa na, fo mendi se risiꞌ Lamatualain. No taꞌo naa, Lamatualain fee ambon neu sala nara. Ma ara o dadꞌi Lamatualain atahori Nara, onaꞌ atahori feaꞌ fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ ra, huu ramahere Au. Au ufadꞌe ho baꞌu a naa ena, Saul.’”
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Basa naa ma, Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo oi, “Ama maneꞌ. Ue-tataos fo au simbo mia sorga naa, au ue-tao ena. Ma au o feꞌe ue-tao e, nda uꞌudꞌedꞌeaꞌ mbei saꞌ boe, losa faiꞌ ia.
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.
Fefeu na au ufadꞌe Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na neu atahori Yahudi ra sia Damsik. Basa de au uma ufadꞌe atahori Yahudi mana sia Yerusalem, ma basa nusaꞌ Yudea. Basa ma, au lao ndule atahori nda Yahudi ra nusa nara. Au olaꞌ relo-relo neu basa se, fo ara lao hela dala masodꞌa sala nara, ma fee ao nara neu Lamatualain. Ara musi tao malole sia masodꞌa nara neu atahori feaꞌ, fo dadꞌi bukti oi sira dadꞌi atahori feuꞌ ena sia Lamatuaꞌ.
21 For this reason Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Huu au ue-tao taꞌo naa, atahori Yahudi ra toꞌu au mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ sia Yerusalem. Ara o rae tao risa au boe.
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,
Te Lamatualain tulu-fali au. Naa de, au feꞌe usodꞌa losa ia. Huu naa, au feꞌe umburiꞌ sia ia, fo dui-bꞌengga fee basa atahori anak-moko, soꞌal Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na. Saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, ndaa no basa saa fo baꞌi Musa no Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara ranori eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na.
23 how the Messiah 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.”
Ara ranori soꞌal Kristus, atahori fo Lamatualain helu nae fee nemaꞌ a. Oi, Ana musi doidꞌoso, fo mate, te basa naa, Ana dadꞌi atahori fo Lamatualain nafefela naꞌahuluꞌ a. Dei fo Ana mana fee manggareloꞌ neu atahori Yahudi ra, no atahori feaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.”
24 As he thus made his defence, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Paulus feꞌe olaꞌ ue-tatao na ma, Festus olaꞌ nggero dedꞌea na nahereꞌ oi, “He! Paulus! Mbei ma ho mamuluꞌ. Muhine naeꞌ seli, de tao uta ma nda matetuꞌ sa.”
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Te Paulus nataa oi, “Ama hofernor nenefee hadꞌat. Au nda umulu sa. Basa saa fo au olaꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Au nda ander-ander sa.
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.
Ama Mane Agripa nahine saa fo au ufadꞌeꞌ ia, memaꞌ tebꞌe. Naa de, au umburani olaꞌ relo-relo. Au umuhere ama maneꞌ rena basa ia ra ena, huu saa fo mana dadꞌi ena, nda dadꞌi sia mamana maꞌafuniꞌ sa. Oi, Yesus mana mateꞌ naa, nasodꞌa baliꞌ ena. Basa atahori o, bubꞌuluꞌ ena.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Mia dalahulu na, Lamatualain mana ola-ola Nara rafadꞌe basa ena. Au umburani uꞌuheheeꞌ ae, ama maneꞌ o namahere mana ola-olaꞌ naa ra oꞌola nara, to?”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Messianic?”
Te mane Agripa olaꞌ nggero nae, “Weh! Paulus! Nda dooꞌ sa te, ho mae tao au dadꞌi atahori Kristen!”
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.”
Paulus nataa nae, “Taꞌo ia, amaꞌ. Au hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, fo dooꞌ, do losaꞌ o, nda akaꞌ a ama maneꞌ sa, te basa atahori mana rena neu au oꞌola ngga ia, bisa dadꞌi Yesus atahori nara, onaꞌ au. Te sadꞌi amaꞌ se afiꞌ dadꞌi atahori nda nenemboꞌit, onaꞌ au ia sa.”
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Paulus olaꞌ basa ma, mane Agripa no feto na Bernike, ma hofernor Festus, ro basa atahori monaen ra, fela rambariiꞌ de baliꞌ.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Ara lao dea reu ma, ara ola-olaꞌ oi, “Atahori ia nda tao salaꞌ nandaa no hukun mate sa. Ma nda nandaa tao e bui rala neu sa!”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Boe ma mane Agripa nafadꞌe hofernor Festus oi, “Kasian o! Atahori ia noꞌe hene nisiꞌ mamana nggenggero huuꞌ a sia Roma. Hokoꞌ naa, dedꞌeat ia basa ena, ma ana o neneꞌmboꞌit ena.”
