Katwa Nono Katwa 22

1 Bulus woro, “Akune na Yahudwa nan nuana ning, dinang atuf ilanza ile imon na nba bellu alenge na idin vurzi nliru nene!”

Ye men, brethren and Fathers, heare my defence nowe towards you.

2 Na ligozin nanite lanza Bulus nlirina nin lilem in Ibranaci, ita tik, itunna nlazughe. Bulus nin woro nani,

(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrewe tongue to them, they kept the more silence, and he sayd)

3 “Meng wang ku Ibraniyawa, nafo anunghe. Iwa marue kipin Tarsus, nanya kusarin Sisiliya, Ama nna kunjo kikane in Urshalima. A ndutu gono, iwa yinnin ti duka to na Musa wani an kabite ku. Gamaliyari wadi unan dursuzui. Nwa dortu ti duka tone bara na nwadi nin su ndortu uliru Kutelle, meng tutung yiru anung vat wang din dortun toni ti duke.

I am verely a man, which am a Iew, borne in Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought vp in this citie at the feete of Gamaliel, and instructed according to the perfect maner of the Lawe of the Fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

4 Unare wati meng fo kidowo nkpazu nalenge na iyinna nin kadura Kutelle kitenen Yesu. Nwa pisuru tibau nmolsu nani. Vat kubi ko na nse nalilime sa awani alenge na yinna nin kadure, asa nta ito nani kilari licin.

And I persecuted this way vnto the death, binding and deliuering into prison both men and women.

5 Udya na Prieste wa yiru nani, nanere wang inung anit alenge na iwadi nanya kudaru kudya na Yahudawa wa yiru. Iwa ni iyerte ndomun kiti nuana mine a Yahudawa na iwa di kipin in Damaskus. Mani ma yerte wa ni likara nwo ndo kikane nkifo kogha ku na ayinna nin Yesu. Asa nkifo nani, nnin yauna nani nafo acin udu Urushalima, inin di funuan.

As also ye chiefe Priest doeth beare me witnes, and al the company of the Elders: of whom also I receiued letters vnto the brethren, and went to Damascus to bring them which were there, bound vnto Hierusalem, that they might be punished.

6 Inin nya udu u Damaskos. Na nda kupopo Ndamaskus, kubi nikoro likure nin naba nwui, nmong nkanang tunna minuzu kitene susut ninmi.

And so it was, as I iourneyed and was come neere vnto Damascus about noone, that suddenly there shone from heauen a great light round about me.

7 Nkanaghe wadii kang ntunna ndeu kutiin. Ntunna nlanzaa liwui nmong din liru ninmi piit kitene kani, adin du, 'Shawulu! Shawulu! iyaghari nta udin yoyi?'

So I fell vnto the earth, and heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou mee?

8 In kawaghe, 'Feghari Cikilari?' A worei, 'Menghari Yesu un Nazeret, ulenge na udin yoghe.'

Then I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Iesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

9 Anit ale na iwa di nin mi yene nkananghe, ama na ilanza imon ilenge na liwuye wadin belle ba.

Moreouer they that were with me, sawe in deede a light and were afraide: but they heard not the voyce of him that spake vnto me.

10 Meng tirino, 'Iyaghari udi ninsu nsufi Cikilari?' Cikilare worei, 'Fita upiru nanyan Damaskus. Umong unit di kikane na ama bellin fi vat imon ilenge na uma su.'

Then I sayd, What shall I doe, Lord? And the Lord sayde vnto me, Arise, and goe into Damascus: and there it shall be tolde thee of all things, which are appointed for thee to doe.

11 Nkanang mone wadi kang na nkuru yene kiti ba, nkanang wati iduu. Inung anite naa iwa di nin mi kifo ucara ning inin wonu udu nanyan Daskuse.

So when I could not see for the glory of that light, I was led by the hand of them that were with me, and came into Damascus.

12 Umong unit na lissame wadi Hananiyas da nda yeni. Ame unitari na awadin lanzu fiu Kutelle nin dortu tiduka na Yahudawa. Vat a Yahudawa na iwa sosin Damaskuse belle imon icine kitene me.

And one Ananias a godly man, as perteining to the Lawe, hauing good report of all the Iewes which dwelt there,

13 Ada adayissina kupo ning anin woro, 'udondon ning Shawulu, 'tunna nyenju tutung!' Ntunna yenju, nyeneghe ayissin kupo ning.

Came vnto me, and stoode, and sayd vnto me, Brother Saul, receiue thy sight: and that same houre I looked vpon him.

14 Atunna aworoi: 'Kutelle kurika nati dighe nsujada, a kurika na acif bite na sughe usujada na fere fi amanin dursu fi imon ile naa adi nin su usu.

And he sayd, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee, that thou shouldest knowe his wil, and shouldest see that Iust one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth.

15 A dursofi unan katwa kalau warum, Yesu Umasiya, Uminin kuru ulanzaghe din liru litime.

For thou shalt be his witnes vnto all men, of the things which thou hast seene and heard.

16 Bara nani nene yenje uwa molu kubi? Fita nshitinfi nmyen ushitinu ulau, unin su nlira nanya lissan Yesu Cikilari utiringhe akusufi alapi fe!'”

Now therefore why tariest thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sinnes, in calling on the Name of the Lord.

17 Na nkpilla Urushalima. Nlonliri ndo kutii nlira kudya, ntunna nlira, na nwadi nanyan lire kikane, nse litining nanya namoro.

And it came to passe, that when I was come againe to Hierusalem, and prayed in the Temple, I was in a traunce,

18 Cikilare lirina ninmi, aworoi, 'Yenje uwa so kiti kane! Suna Urushalima nene, bara anite kikane mayinnu nin nimon ile na uma bellu nani liti nighe ba!'

And saw him saying vnto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Hierusalem: for they will not receiue thy witnes concerning me.

19 Ama meng woroghe, ' Cikilari, iyiru nwo meng nacinu atii nlira adidya kang in pizuru nalenge na iyinna ninfi. Alenge na nse iyinna ninfi, meng wati itiza nani nilari licin, in wadin fonani wang.

Then I sayd, Lord, they know that I prisoned, and beat in euery Synagogue them that beleeued in thee.

20 Idin lizinu nin kubi ko na iwa molu kucin fe Istifanus, meng wayissin kite ndin yenjee nkuru na nani uyinu ning kitene nimon ile na iwadin sue. Meng tutung wang wadi nca nimoon ilenge na anan molume wa kala iceo kusari kurum!'

And when the blood of thy martyr Steuen was shed, I also stood by, and consented vnto his death, and kept the clothes of them that slew him.

21 Ama Cikilare woroi, 'Kayi, yenje uwa so kiti kane! Suna Urushalima, bara meng matufi piit nin kiti kane udu kiti namon anit, na idi a Yahudawa ba!'”

Then he sayd vnto me, Depart: for I will send thee farre hence vnto the Gentiles.

22 Anite wadin lanzu Bulus ku nlire se na iwa lanza Cikilarin toghe kiti namong anit. Itunna ighanan jartuzu, “Molonghe! Na acaun uso nin lai tutung ba!”

And they heard him vnto this worde, but then they lift vp their voyces, and sayd, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not meete that he should liue.

23 Na iwa di nanya jaartuze, ikalza altuk kitene mine inin fizza lidau kitene kani, uleli ute din durru tinanayi mine.

And as they cried and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the aire,

24 Udya mine tunna ata iyaun Bulus ku iteghe nanya kilari licin. Aworo nani ikpizu Bulus ku anan belle imon ile na ata inanza a Yahudawa ayi kang nani.

The chiefe captaine commanded him to be led into the castle, and bade that he should be scourged, and examined, that he might knowe wherefore they cryed so on him.

25 Inin tunna inakpa acara me itereghe nnunwo ikpizughe kimal me. Ama Bulus belle kusoja kupome, “Uma patilunu uduka andi ukpizai, kunan Rumawa, urika na umong nsa do ninghe kilarin shara akpaghe nin kulapi ba!”

And as they bound him with thongs, Paul sayd vnto the Centurion that stood by, Is it lawfull for you to scourge one that is a Romane, and not condemned?

26 Na kusoje nlanza nani, ado kitin dya mine adi bellinghe. Aworo ndya nasoje, “Ule unite kunan Rumawari! Iyiru dai na uwasa utanari ti kpizoghe ba!”

Nowe when the Centurion heard it, hee went, and tolde the chiefe captaine, saying, Take heede what thou doest: for this man is a Romane.

27 Udya nasoje da ada woroghe, “Belli, fe kunan Rumawari?” Bulus woroghe “e-e.”

Then the chiefe captaine came, and sayd to him, Tel me, art thou a Romane? And he said, Yea.

28 Udya nasoje kawaghe aworo, “meng se nin nikufun gbardanghari inase uso kunan Rumawa.” Bulus woroghe, “Meng kumat in Rumawari.”

And the chiefe captaine answered, With a great summe obtained I this freedome. Then Paul sayd, But I was so borne.

29 Anit ale na iwa cinu udun tirighe tipinpin tunna isughe deidei. Ame udya nadidya nasoje wang fiu wa kifoghe, kube na awal anza Bulus kunan Rumawari, bara na ame wa terughe.

Then straightway they departed from him, which should haue examined him: and the chiefe captaine also was afrayd, after he knewe that hee was a Romane, and that he had bound him.

30 Ukurtunun nkuye, udya nasoje wadi nin su alanza kidegen nvurzun liru ule na a Yahudawe dumun' kitenen Bulus. Bara nani abuku time, anin ta udya na Prieste nin vat kudaru me izuro. Anin da nin Bulus aceughe in kitik mine.

On the next day, because hee would haue knowen the certaintie wherefore he was accused of the Iewes, he loosed him from his bonds, and commanded the hie Priests and all their Councill to come together: and he brought Paul, and set him before them.
