Katwa Nono Katwa 26

1 Agrippa woro in Bulu ku, “Uwasa usu uliru nin litife” Bulus nakpa ucara me asu uliru nkussu litime.

Agrippa then to Paul was saying; It is permitted you (for *N+kO) yourself to speak. Then Paul having stretched out the hand was presenting a defense:

2 “In yira liti ning unan ayi abo, ugo Agrippa, nsu uliru nighe nbunfe kimone nbelleng nimon ile ena a Yhudawa na belin liti ning;

Concerning all of which I am accused by [the] Jews, King Agrippa, I have esteemed myself fortunate before you being about today to present a defense;

3 bara fe unan yiraari kitine vat ntanda na Yahudawa nin tiru mine. Ndin tiru fi nworo ulanzai nin nayi ashau.

Especially acquainted being you with all the of [the] Jews (customs *NK+o) and also controversies. therefore I implore (you *k) patiently to hear me.

4 Kidegere, a Yahudawa vat yiru imusun lissosin longo na nna su a in yita kwanyana nmin nighe nin Ushalima.

The indeed then manner of life of mine which [is] from youth from [its] beginning having been among the nation of mine in (also *no) Jerusalem know all the Jews

5 Innung yiru ucizunighe tutung ucaun inin yinin nworu meng ku farisawari, alenge na idin kpilizu imon hem ba.

knowing me from the first, if they may be willing to testify that according to the strictest sect of our own religion I lived [as] a Pharisee;

6 Nene in yissing kikane bara ndin piziru nciu nliru ulenge na kutelle wa ni acifi bite.

And now for [the] hope of the (to *N+kO) the fathers of us promise having been made by God I have stood being judged,

7 Bara nanere akura nnonon Israila na su Kutelle katwa kitik nin lirin nan nya kidegen, arik ani nceo ayi ti duru kite bara ule uciu nayere a Yahudawa nvuroyi, Ugo!

to which the twelve tribes of us in earnestness night and day serving they hope to attain, concerning which hope I am accused (Agrippa *K) by (the *k) Jews, O king,

8 Iyaghari nta idin yenju uma konu Kutelle fya anan kul?

Why incredible is it judged by you if God [the] dead raises?

9 Nkon kubi asa nkpilza nsu imon gambalang gbardang kitene lissan Yesu Nnazareth.

I myself indeed therefore thought in myself to the name of Jesus of Nazareth needing many things contrary to do,

10 Nna su in Urshalima; nwa yaccu anan katwa kacine kilari licin gbardang, nwa seru likara nsu nani kiti ndya na priest iwa molusu nani, asa mere yinna isu nani.

which also I did in Jerusalem and many (also *no) of the saints I myself (in *no) prisons locked up the from the chief priests authority having received, when were being executed then they I cast against [them] a vote;

11 Ina tizu nani ineo kang nan nya nilari nlira mine nkuru ntiza nani izoguzu Kutelle. Nwa yita nin tinana nayi nin ghinu kang ndortu nani uduzu mmin das.

And in all the synagogues often punishing them I was compelling [them] to blaspheme, Excessively then being furious against them I was persecuting [them] as far as even to foreign cities.

12 Na nwa din su nani, Nwa do Udamaska nin yinnu a likara ngo na priest;

during which (and *k) journeying to Damascus with [the] authority and commission which [is] (from *k) the chief priests

13 libowe ucin due, nin wui gberere, Ugo, in yene imon nkanan unuzu kitene Kutelle mida mala kiti bite vat umunu alenge na iwa din cin ligowe nan mi.

At day mid on the road I saw, O king, from heaven above the brightness of the sun having shone around me a light and those with me myself journeying.

14 na vat bite ndeo kutyen, nlanza liwui nin ti Ibrananci din liru nin mi, 'Shawulu, Shawulu, iyaghari nta udin tizui nneo? Uwa konui men nari.'

All (and *N+kO) when were falling down we to the ground I heard a voice (saying *N+kO) to me (and saying *k) in the Hebrew language; Saul Saul, why Me persecute you? [It is] hard for you against [the] goads to kick.

15 Ntunna nworo, fe ghari, Cikilaria? Cikilare kawa, ' men Yesu ule na udin funu ghe.

I myself then said; Who are You Lord? And (the Lord *no) said; I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting.

16 Nene fita uyissin nin nabunu fe; bara ile imonere ndurso liti nighe kitife, nfere fi uso kucin a unan wazi nbell nimon ile na uyiru inin nin nen nin nimon ile na Mma dursu fi iwa dandaun;

But do rise up and do stand on the feet of you; to this [purpose] for I have appeared to you to appoint you a servant and a witness of that which both you have seen (of Me *NO) of the things in which then I will appear to you,

17 mma tucu fi na cara nanite nin na wurme alenge na mma tuu fi ucindu kitimine;

delivering you out from the people and (from *no) the Gentiles, to whom (I myself *N+KO) am sending you

18 udi pun iyizi mine uti nani ikpilin isun adu nsirti mine udak nan nya nkanang, nan nya likara nshaitan udak likara Kutelle, inan se ukussu nalapi kiti Kutelle, nin gadu ulenge na ina ni ceo nani nin liti nighe nan nya yinnu sa uyenu.'

to open eyes of them, that (to turn *NK+o) from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, [that] to receive they forgiveness of sins and [an] inheritance among those sanctified by faith which [is] in Me myself.

19 Bara nani, Ugo Agrippa, Na nna dira uyinnu nin anabci Kutelle ba;

So then, O king Agrippa, not I was disobedient to the heavenly vision,

20 amma, kiti na lenge na idin Damaska tukuna, nin na nan Urshalima, nin na lenge vat na idi nmin in Yhudiya, a ining awurmi, ndi wazi i sun alapi mine ikpilin kiti Kutelle, isu imon ile na ima dak nin sunu nalapi.

but to those in Damascus first (both *no) also in Jerusalem (into *k) all both the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles (I was declaring *N+kO) to repent and to turn to God worthy of repentance works doing.

21 Bara ile imonere a Yahudawa na kifo nannya kilari nlira inani pizira imolui.

On account of these things me (the *k) Jews having seized (being *n) in the temple they were attempting to kill.

22 Kutelle koni na buni udak nene, in yissin nbelin nbun na talaka nin nanit adidya na umong ubeleng ugan ba se ulenge na anan liru nin nuu Kutelle nin Musa na belin uma se;

Help therefore having obtained (from *N+kO) God unto day this I have stood (bearing witness *N+kO) to small both and to great, no [thing] other saying than what both the prophets said was about to happen and Moses,

23 nworu Kristi ma niu gbas, tutng ama yitu unan burnun fitu nan nya nissek anin kuru a durso nkanang kiti na Yahudawa nin na wurmi.

that would suffer the Christ, as first through resurrection from [the] dead light He is about to preach (to both *no) our people and to the Gentiles.

24 Na Bulus nmala ukusu litime, Fastos woro nin liwui gberere, “Bulus uta ilaza; uyiru udya fe nta fi ilaza.”

These things now when he is presenting a defense Festus in a loud voice (said; *N+kO) You are insane Paul! The great of you learning to insanity turns [you]!

25 Amma Bulus woro ghe, “Na ndi nin nilaza ba Fastos unit udya; amma nin nayi akone ndin su liru kidegen nin toltenu liti.

But (Paul; *no) Not I am insane says most excellent Festus, but of truth and sobriety declarations I utter.

26 Bara Ugo yiru ubelleng nilenge imone, bara nani, ndi woas nsu nin ghe, bara meng yiru na imonmong nyeshin kiti me ba, bara na ina su ilenge imone likot ba.

Understands for concerning these things the king to whom also using boldness I speak; Hiding for him any of these things not I am persuaded no [thing]; not for is in a corner done of these things.

27 Uyinna nin na annabawe, Ugo Agrippa? Ina yiru uyinna nin ghinu.”

Believe you, King Agrippa, in the prophets? I know that you believe.

28 Agrippa woro Bulus ku “nan nya kabiri bar uma kpiliu nso unan dortu Kutelle?”

Then Agrippa to Paul (was saying: *k) Within so little [time] me you [seek to] persuade a Christian (to become! *N+kO)

29 Bulus woro, “Ndi inlira kiti kutelle, sa nin kabiri bat sa nin kubiri gbardang, na fe usanfi ba, amma umunu alenge na idin lanzui kiti mone, iso nafo mewe, amma na nin ninyang kilari licin ba.

And Paul (said; *k) I would wish may God both in a little and in (much *N+kO) not only you but also all those hearing me this day to become such as also I myself am except chains these.

30 Ugowe tunna a fita ayissina, a udya mine nin Barniki wang fita umuni alenge na iwa sossin ligowe nan ghinu;

(and these things when was speaking he *K) rose up (then *no) the king and the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them;

31 na isuna kudarua, itunna nliru nin nanit mine idin su, “Na unit ulele nati nkon kulapi kongo na ku batina ukul so utecu ba.”

and having withdrawn they were speaking to one another saying that No [thing] of death or of chains worthy (any *NO) is doing man this.

32 Agrippa woro Festus ku, “Iwa sunu unit ulele nda fo na afo acara kitin Kaisar ba.”

Agrippa then to Festus was saying; to have been released was able man this, only unless he had appealed to Caesar.
