Acts 26
1 Yet truly, Agrippa said to Paul, “It is permitted for you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul, extending his hand, began to offer his defense.
Kwibhyo, Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'Owikilisibhwa okwililila.' Niwo Paulo nagolola okubhoko kwae nelilila kutya.
2 “I consider myself blessed, O king Agrippa, that I am to give my defense today before you, about everything of which I am accused by the Jews,
“Enilola no bhukondeleywe, Omukama Agripa, koleleki ikoleke ikesi yani imbele yao lelo ku masitaka gone aga bhayaudi.
3 especially since you know everything that pertains to the Jews, both customs and questions. Because of this, I beg you to listen to me patiently.
Kulwo kubha, awe uli mumenyi wa jintungwa ja bhayaudi na masubhyo. Kulwejo enisabhwa untegeleshe kwo kwikomesha
4 And certainly, all the Jews know about my life from my youth, which had its beginning among my own people in Jerusalem.
Ni chimali, abhayaudi bhona abhamenya lwakutyo naliga nikae kusoka mu bhusigaji bhwani mwi Yanga lwani eyo Yerusalemu.
5 They knew me well from the beginning, (if they would be willing to offer testimony) for I lived according to the most determined sect of our religion: as a Pharisee.
Bhamenyele kusoka mu bwambilo kulwejo kubheile okwikilisha ati nekae kuti mufarisayo, lijeebhu elyo bhwima bhululu mu dini yeswe.
6 And now, it is in the hope of the Promise which was made by God to our fathers that I stand subject to judgment.
Woli nimeleguyu anu nilamulwe kulwo kubha anye enilola omulago gunu Nyamuanga akolele na bhalata bheswe.
7 It is the Promise that our twelve tribes, worshiping night and day, hope to see. About this hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
Gunu ni mulago gunu jiganda jeswe ekumi ne bhili jili no kwiikanya okulamila labha bhakamulamya Nyamuanga kwa managa mugeta na mu mwisi. Ni ingulu ye liikanya linu, Omukama Agripa, ati abhayaudi abhansitaka.
8 Why should it be judged so unbelievable with you all that God might raise the dead?
Kulwaki wona wona agati yemwe keganilisha ebhilugusho ati Nyamuanga kasulula abhafue?
9 And certainly, I myself formerly considered that I ought to act in many ways which are contrary to the name of Jesus the Nazarene.
Omwanya gumwi neganilisishe omwene ati nakakolele misango myafu ingulu ya lisina lya Yesu owa nanjaleti.
10 This is also how I acted at Jerusalem. And so, I enclosed many holy persons in prison, having received authority from the leaders of the priests. And when they were to be killed, I brought the sentence.
Nakolele ganu mu Yerusalemu; Nabhabhoyele abhekilisha bhafu mwibhoyelo, naliga no bhutulo okusoka kubhagabhisi Abhakulu okukola kutyo; omwanya ogwo nibhetwa, nabhumile nibhetogya ingulu yebhe
11 And in every synagogue, frequently while punishing them, I compelled them to blaspheme. And being all the more maddened against them, I persecuted them, even to foreign cities.
Omwanya mwafu nabhabhumile mu likofyanyisho lyona na legejishe okubhakola bhasige elikilisha lyebhwe. Naliga ne bhinyiga muno ingulu yebhwe nibabhilimya nolyo mu misi Jo bhugenyi.
12 Thereafter, as I was going to Damascus, with authority and permission from the high priest,
Omwanya ogwo naliga Nikola ganu, Nagendele Damesiki, na liga no bhutulo na malagililo okusoka KU bhagabhisi Abhakulu; Ao naliga nili mu njila omwanya gwa mu
13 at midday, O king, I and those who were also with me, saw along the way a light from heaven shining around me with a splendor greater than that of the sun.
mwisi, Omukama, nalolele obhwelu okusoka mulwile gunu gwaliga gusekanile kukila lisubha nigulabhangilya nigusingila anye na bhanu bhanu haliga nibhalibhata amwi nanye.
14 And when we had all fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew language: ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goad.’
Eswe bhona chejile chikagwa ansi, no nguwe Obhulaka Ni bhaika nanye nibhwaika mu lulimi lwe chiebulania: -Sauli, Sauli KU bhanki ounysha? chikomee kwawe okubhala omugele kwi chumu.
15 Then I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Nio ninaika,'awe nawega, Latabhugenyi?' Latabhugenyi nasubya, 'Anye Ni Yesu unu ounyasha.
16 But rise up and stand on your feet. For I appeared to you for this reason: so that I may establish you as a minister and a witness concerning the things that you have seen, and concerning the things that I will show to you:
Oli imuka wimelegulu kwa magulu gao; Ku songa inu anye nabhonekana kwawe, nakusola okubha mukosi no mubhambhasi ingulu ye misango ejo oumenya kulubhana nanye oli ne misango ejo nilakwelesha imbele;
17 rescuing you from the people and the nations to which I am now sending you,
Enikukisha okusoka KU bhanu na bhanu bha maanga kwabho enikutuma,
18 in order to open their eyes, so that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive the remission of sins and a place among the saints, through the faith that is in me.’
Oufundukula ameso gebhwe no kubhasosha mu chisute no kuja mu bhwelu no kusoka mu managa ga nyakusheta bhamulubhe Nyamuanga; Koleleki bhabhone okulamila okusoka ku Nyamuanga okusasilwa kwe bhikayo no kulya omwandu kunu nibhayanile bhalya bhanu nauye ku likilisha linu Lili kwanye.
19 From then on, O king Agrippa, I was not unbelieving to the heavenly vision.
Kwibhyo, Omukama Agripa, nitatulile kulema ebhilolo bhya mulwile,
20 But I preached, first to those who are at Damascus and at Jerusalem, and then to the entire region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, so that they would repent and convert to God, doing the works that are worthy of repentance.
nawe, kubhalya bhanu bhali mu Dameski okwamba, no kumala Yerusalemu na muchalo chona echa Yudea, one na KU bhanu bha maanga agandi, nasimuye ati bhate no kumuindukila Nyamuanga, bhakole ebhikolwa bhinu bhiile okuta.
21 It was for this reason that the Jews, having apprehended me when I was in the temple, attempted to kill me.
kwa insonga eyo abhayaudi bhangwatile mwiyekalu, nibhalegeja okunyita.
22 But having been aided by the help of God, even to this day, I stand witnessing to the small and the great, saying nothing beyond what the Prophets and Moses have said would be in the future:
Nyamuanga ansakie kukinga woli, kwibhyo enimelegulu no kubhabhambalila abhanu bhanu bhenganilie na kubhalya bhakulu ingulu ya galya ganu abhalagi na Musa bhaikile ati galibhonekana Nolwo gatali gandi;
23 that the Christ would suffer, and that he would be the first from the resurrection of the dead, and that he would bring light to the people and to the nations.”
Ati Kristo Ni bhusi bhusi anyasibhwe na kabha wo kwamba okusuluka okusoka mu bhafue no kwelesha obhwelu ku bhayaudi na KU bhanu bha maanga.
24 While he was speaking these things and presenting his defense, Festus said with a loud voice: “Paul, you are insane! Too much studying has turned you to insanity.”
Paulo ejile amala okwililila, Festo aikile kwo bhulaka bhunene, 'Paulo, awe uli musasii! lisoma lwao lyakukolele kubha musasi.
25 And Paul said: “I am not insane, most excellent Festus, but rather I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.
Mbe nawe Paulo naika ati, anye nitali musasi, mukulu we chibhalo Festo; nawe kwo bhubhasi naika emisango je chimali chenyele.
26 For the king knows about these things. To him also, I am speaking with constancy. For I think that none of these things are unknown to him. And neither were these things done in a corner.
Kulwo kubha Omukama kamenya okulubhana ne misango jinu; Kwibho, enaika kwo kwiyagala KU mwene, kulwejo nili ne chimali ati gutalio gwona gwona gunu gwiselekele ku mwene, kulwo kubha gunu guchali kukolwa ku mbali.
27 Do you believe the Prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
Angu, owikilisha abhalagi, Omukama Agripa? Enimenya ati owikilisha.
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “To some extent, you persuade me to become a Christian.”
'Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'kwo mwanya mufui outula okunkongya anye no kunkola kubha mukristo?
29 And Paul said, “I hope to God that, both to a small extent and to a great extent, not only you, but also all those who hear me this day will become just as I also am, except for these chains.”
Paulo naika ati, '“Enimusabhwa Nyamuanga ati kwo mwanya mufui amwi mulela, atali awe-la, nawe bhone bhanu abhanyungwa lelo, bhabhe Kanye nawe atali jiboelo ja mwibhoyelo.”
30 And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them.
Niwo Omukama nemelegulu, no mutwale, na Bernike one, na bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhenyanjile amwi nabho,
31 And when they had withdrawn, they were speaking among themselves, saying, “This man has done nothing worthy of death, nor of imprisonment.”
Bhejile bhasokao mwigalagalilo, nibhelomela abhene kwa bhene no kwaika, 'omunu unu ateile kufwa Nolwo kubhoywa.'
32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released, if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Agripa namubhwila Festo, “Omunu unu chakamusigilela eyagale achilema okugendelela imbele KU Kaisari.”
