Acts 22
1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye the account which I now give unto you.
RI ai ko, jam ai ko komail, ron maj ai japen komail.
2 (And when they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence.)
Irail lao roner, me a majani on irail ni lokaia en Ipru, re ap nenenla kaualap. I ari kotin majani.
3 And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day:
Ol en Juj amen nai, me tikidar Tarjuj en Jilijia, a i kakairida nan kanim wet ni aluwilu en Kamaliel, padapadakki kapun en jam atail akan, o nantion poni poni Kot dueta komail kin wia ran wet.
4 Who persecuted this way unto death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
O i kawelar al pot et lel on kamelar aramaj, ni ai jaliedi o panalan imaten ol o li akan.
5 As the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the ancients: from whom also receiving letters to the brethren, I went to Damascus, that I might bring them bound from thence to Jerusalem to be punished.
Pwe iduen me jamero lapalap o jaumaj akan kin kadede kin ia, pwe i aleer jan irail kijin likau, on ri (atail) akan. I ap kolan Damajkuj, pwen pil jaliedi o wa don Ierujalem, me mi waja o, pwe ren kamekame.
6 And it came to pass, as I was going, and drawing nigh to Damascus at midday, that suddenly from heaven there shone round about me a great light:
A ni ai koko wei korendor Damajkuj, nin jauaj, marain eu kodido jan nanlan, jare ia da.
7 And falling on the ground, I heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Nai ari pupedi nani pwel o ronada nil eu, me majani on ia: Jaul, Jaul, da me koe kame kin ia?
8 And I answered: Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me: I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Nai ari potoan on: Ij komui Main? A kotin majani on ia: Nai Iejuj en Najaret, me koe kin kame.
9 And they that were with me, saw indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spoke with me.
A me ian ia udialer marain o, ap majapwekadar, a re jota ron kapit en me majan don ia.
10 And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Arise, and go to Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things that thou must do.
Nai potoan on: Da me i en wiada Main? Kaun o ap kotin majani on ia: Paurida u kowei on Damajkuj, nan a pan kapare on uk waja o, me kaonop on uk er, en wiada.
11 And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus.
A i jolar kak kilan waja, aki linan en marain o, i ap daululan Damajkuj; me ian ia kalua kin ia pa i.
12 And one Ananias, a man according to the law, having testimony of all the Jews who dwelt there,
Ananiaj, ol lelapok amen duen kapun o, me kalok mau jli ren Juj akan karoj, me kaujon waja o,
13 Coming to me, and standing by me, said to me: Brother Saul, look up. And I the same hour looked upon him.
Ap ko don ia kajikajinen imp ai indai on ia: Ri ai Jauluj, kilanada waja! Ari, ni auer ota i jaradan i.
14 But he said: The God of our fathers hath preordained thee that thou shouldst know his will, and see the Just One, and shouldst hear the voice from his mouth.
I ari katitiki: Kot en jam atail akan, me pil uk adar, pwe koe en lolekonki a kupur, o udial me Pun o, o ron kapit en jllan i.
15 For thou shalt be his witness to all men, of those things which thou hast seen and heard.
Pwe koe pan japwilim a jaunkadede on aramaj karoj, duen me koe kilanadar o ronadar.
16 And now why tarriest thou? Rise up, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, invoking his name.
Ari, da me koe auiaui? Paurida o paptaijela, pwe dip om akan en widen jan, o jakarkidan mar a.
17 And it came to pass, when I was come again to Jerusalem, and was praying in the temple, that I was in a trance,
A kadekadeo i lao pwara don Ierujalem o kapakap nan im en kaudok o, i ap wukilar.
18 And saw him saying unto me: Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
O i kilan i, me kotin majani on ia: Kananata, madana wei jan Ierujalem, pwe irail jota pan duki on om kadede kin ia.
19 And I said: Lord, they know that I cast into prison, and beat in every synagogue, them that believed in thee.
Nai ari potoan on: Main, pein irail aja, me i panalan nan imaten o woki nan jinakoke kan me kin pojon komui.
20 And when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I stood by and consented, and kept the garments of them that killed him.
A ni japwilim ar jaunkadede Jtepanuj kamatalar, nai pil u impa o peren kidar a kamatalar, nekinekid likau en me kamatalar i ko.
21 And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off, will I send thee.
A ap kotin majani on ia: U ko wei, pwe I pan kadar uk ala waja doo ren men liki kan.
22 And they heard him until this word, and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth; for it is not fit that he should live.
Irail roneron i lel on majan pot et, ap nil laudeda indada: Jiken wei jan jappa lap men et! Pwe a jota mau on, i en momaureta!
23 And as they cried out and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,
A ni arail weriwerada, o kajelar ar likau, o kajadar pwelpar,
24 The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him.
Kaun lapalap o ap majani, i en wijikelan nan im en jaunpei o majani, ren woki i, pwe i en lelapok kila, da me re weiwei lokeki i.
25 And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Irail lao jaliedi i, Pauluj ap idok ren kaun o, me u impa: Me pun, en woki aramaj en Rom amen, me kaikenta pakadei kadar?
26 Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune, and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.
Kaun o lao ronada met, ap kola ren kaun lapalap o indada: Da me kom pan wiada, pwe aramaj men et men Rom amen.
27 And the tribune coming, said to him: Tell me, art thou a Roman? But he said: Yea.
Kaun lapalap o ap kodo indai on i: Katitiki on ia, ol en Rom amen komui? A japen: Ei.
28 And the tribune answered: I obtained the being free of this city with a great sum. And Paul said: But I was born so.
Kaun lapalap o japen: Pwai laud me i jaladok kilar. A Pauluj majani: A nai me tikidar jaladok.
29 Immediately therefore they departed from him that were about to torture him. The tribune also was afraid after he understood that he was a Roman citizen, and because he had bound him.
Me kodo kadeikada i, ap madan pure jan i, o kaun lapalap lao ajadar, me i ol en Rom amen, a pil majakadar, pweki a jaliedi i.
30 But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the priests to come together, and all the council: and bringing forth Paul, he set him before them.
A mandan ran o a inon ion melel aja karep en Juj oko ar panala i, ap lapwada i o kapokon pena jamero lapalap o toun kapun o, ap wadila Pauluj o kotikidi on i mo’rail.
