Acts 22
1 Brethren and fathers, hear my defence, which I now make to you.
Boe ma, Paulus olaꞌ nae “Ama nggare no toronoo nggare! Au oꞌe nggi rena, te ae usulaꞌe ao ngga.”
2 And on hearing him speak to them in the Hebrew tongue, they kept the more silence. And he saith:
Leleꞌ naa atahori hetar rena Paulus olaꞌ, nendiꞌ sira dedꞌea na. De ara nenee reuꞌ ena, fo rae rena malolole dedꞌea na. Boe ma ana olaꞌ nakandoo nae,
3 I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, hut brought up in this city, taught at the feet of Gamaliel in the strictness of the Law of our fathers, being zealous for God, as ye all are this day.
“Sadꞌi basa nggi bubꞌuluꞌ mae, au atahori Yahudi. Mama ngga bꞌonggi au sia kota Tarsus, sia nusaꞌ Kilikia. Te, au uꞌumoko mia Yerusalem ia. Meser monaeꞌ Gamaliel, mana nanori au. Ana nanori au basa Baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalanen, losa lutu-leloꞌ. Au o manggate tungga Lamatualain, onaꞌ basa nggi boe.
4 And I persecuted this way [[of belief]] even to death, binding and putting into prisons both men and women,
Faiꞌ naa, au nda uloeꞌ oi ma uꞌusususaꞌ atahori mana tungga Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na sa. Au lea endi se, touꞌ ma inaꞌ, risiꞌ Yerusalem, fo tao se bui rala reu. Leleꞌ naa, ruma mate boe.
5 as also the high-priest beareth me witness, and all the elderhood; from whom I received letters to the brethren, and was on my way to Damascus to bring those also that were there, bound, to Jerusalem, that they might be punished.
Hita malangga monaen agama Yahudi a, no malangga feaꞌ ra, o bubꞌuluꞌ saa fo au olaꞌ ia tebꞌe! Au nda ombon-koson sa. Ara mana fee au susura koasa, fo uu toꞌu atahori mana tungga Yesus ra losa kota Damsik. Sia naa, au ae toꞌu se, fo endi se Yerusalem reu. Au duꞌa ae, hela fo atahori mana maꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat agama ra hukun se.”
6 But it came to pass, as I was on my way, and approaching Damascus, that about noon there suddenly shone around me a great light from heaven;
Basa ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Lao esa, au lao isiꞌ Damsik, fo ae sangga atahori mana tungga Yesus ra. Mbei ma relo a namatetu ma, hai maeꞌ a losa kotaꞌ naa. Te aiboiꞌ ma, manggareloꞌ sa mia lalai a naronda neu au,
7 and I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
de uꞌuloli. Au rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ nae, “He, Saulus! Taꞌo bee de ho tao doidꞌoso au taꞌo ia?’
8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom thou persecutest.
Au memaꞌ rena haraꞌ naa, te nda ita atahori sa. Ma utane ae, ‘Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?’ Haraꞌ naa, nataa nae, ‘Au ia, Yesus, atahori Nasaret, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a!’
9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but the voice of him that spoke to me they did not hear.
Atahori mana laoꞌ ro au ra o, rita manggareloꞌ naa, te nda rena haraꞌ naa sa.
10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there thou wilt be told of all which it hath been appointed thee to do.
Boe ma, utaa ae, ‘Mete ma taꞌo naa, au musi taꞌo bee?’ Nafadꞌe nae, ‘Fela, fo kota rala muu leo. Losa naa fo, Au atahori ngga feꞌe nafadꞌe nggo basa saa fo musi taoꞌ ra.
11 And as I could not see by reason of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand of those that were with me, and came into Damascus.
Au rena ala ma, au fela rii-rii. Te au nda ita saa sa boe, huu manggareloꞌ naa seli. De nonoo nggara toꞌu ro au kota Damsik mi.
12 But one Ananias, a devout man according to the Law, well spoken of by all the Jews who dwelt there,
Sia naa hambu atahori sa naran Ananias. Rala na ndos, ma toꞌu nahereꞌ Baꞌi Musa hohoro-lalane nara. Basa atahori Yahudi mana leo sia kota naa, hii e ma fee hadꞌat neu e.
13 came to me, and standing over me said, Brother Saul, receive sight. And I immediately looked up upon him.
Ana nema sangga au, ma olaꞌ nae, ‘Aꞌa Saul! Mulaa fo mete leo! Te aꞌa mata na nalaa ena.’ Ana olaꞌ basa ma, au botiꞌ mata ngga, ma bisa ita e.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers chose thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth;
Basa ma, ana nanori au nae, ‘Lamatualain, fo hita bei-bai nara hule-oꞌe neuꞌ a, ia naa, tengga nala aꞌa ena. Aꞌa ue-tatao ma, naeni muhine malolole hihii-nanau Na. No muhine Yesus, fo mia dalahulu na, hita ingga-inggaꞌ E tae “Atahori Meumareꞌ”. Ia naa, Lamatualain soi dalaꞌ fo aꞌa rena mata ma mia Yesus.
15 for thou shalt be a witness for him to all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
Ana mana tengga nala aꞌa, fo muu mufadꞌe Dudꞌui Malole Na neu atahori sia bee-bꞌee. Aꞌa musi mufadꞌe basa saa, fo mita ma rena mia E.
16 And now why dost thou delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
Afiꞌ muhani dodꞌoo fai. Muu fo moꞌe ara sarani aꞌa, fo dadꞌi bukti aꞌa noꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus fee ambon neu basa sala-kilu mara.’”
17 And it came to pass after my return to Jerusalem, while I was praying in the temple, that I fell into a trance,
Boe ma Paulus olaꞌ nakandoo nae, “Basa ma, au baliꞌ Yerusalem uu. Faiꞌ sa, au uu hule-oꞌe mia Ume Hule-oꞌe Huuꞌ a ma, Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu au, onaꞌ meit e.
18 and saw him saying to me, Make haste, and go quickly out of Jerusalem; for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
Au ita Yesus. Ma Ana parenda au nae, ‘Ho musi lao hela Yerusalem ia, leo! Huu, atahori mana sia ia ra, nda nau simbo saa fo, ho munori soꞌal Auꞌ a sa.’
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned, and beat in every synagogue, those that believed in thee;
Te au nda simbo parendaꞌ naa sa, huu dalahulu na, malangga agama ra hii au. De utaa ae, ‘Taꞌo ia, Amaꞌ! Basa se bubꞌuluꞌ, faiꞌ naa, au lao uu sia ume hule-oꞌeꞌ sia bee-bꞌee, fo toꞌu ma poko atahori mana ramahere neu Amaꞌ.
20 and when the blood of Stephen, thy witness, was shed, I myself was standing by and consenting, and keeping the garments of those who slew him.
Ara o rahine rae, leleꞌ ara mbia risa Amaꞌ dedenu Na, Stefanus, te au sia naa, ma au o nau boe. Au mana utatale se raduru fatu fo mbia e. Ma au mana unea badꞌu nara.’
21 And he said to me, Depart; for I will send thee far hence to the gentiles.
Au fee nesenenedꞌaꞌ taꞌo naa, te Yesus parenda seluꞌ fai nae, ‘Sudꞌi boe sangga dalaꞌ mataꞌ-mataꞌ! Lao hela Yerusalem leo! Au ae denu nggo muu sia mamana dodꞌooꞌ ra, fo munori atahori nda Yahudi ra sa.’”
22 And they listened to him as far as this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth! for it was not fit that he should live.
Atahori hetar rena Paulus olaꞌ nae Lamatuaꞌ denu e nisiꞌ atahori feaꞌ ra ena ma, ara nda nau rena e sa ena. Basa se ramanasa, ma nggasi randaa rae, “Afiꞌ rena atahori ia fai! Misa e leo! Ana nda nandaa nasodꞌa sa ena.”
23 And as they were crying out, and shaking their garments, and throwing dust into the air,
Atahori naa ra nggasi taꞌo naa ma, ara olu badꞌu nara, ma ao afu de nggari ata neu, huu ramanasa seli ena.
24 the chief captain ordered him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might ascertain for what cause they were thus crying out against him.
Malangga a nita atahori ramue fai ma, ana denu soldꞌadꞌu ra rendi Paulus nisiꞌ mamana neneaꞌ. Basa ma, ana denu se filo e, naa fo Paulus nataa nae eni tao salaꞌ saa, losa atahori Yahudi ra rae tao risa e.
25 But when they had stretched him out with the cords, Paul said to the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
Ara paꞌa Paulus fo rae filo e ma, ana natane baliꞌ soldꞌadꞌu naa nae, “Tungga mana parenda Roma atoran na, bee ka ndaa? Mete ma atahori sa mana naꞌena hak atahori Roma hambu dedꞌeat, hei musi tao taꞌo bee? Hei popoko miꞌihuluꞌ e, do, hei paresaꞌ miꞌihuluꞌ e?”
26 When the centurion heard this, he went and told the chief captain, saying, What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman.
Soldꞌadꞌu naa rena nala ma, ana neu sangga malangga na lai-lai. Ana nafadꞌe nae, “Amaꞌ! Atahori ia, naꞌena hak atahori Roma! Dadꞌi amaꞌ nae tao saa neu e?”
27 Then the chief captain came and said to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yes.
Malangga a rena nala ma, ana neu natane Paulus nae, “Oi ho muꞌena hak atahori Roma? Naa, tebꞌe do?” Paulus naselu nae, “Tebꞌe! Au toꞌu hak naa.”
28 The chief captain answered, For a great sum I obtained this citizenship. And Paul said, But I was born a Roman.
Boe ma malangga a nae, “Au o taꞌo naa boe. Au bae nae na seli, fo bisa hambu hak naa.” Te Paulus nataa fai, nae “Au naa, nda bae saa-saa sa boe. Eniꞌ a mama ngga bꞌonggi au, au toꞌu hak naa ena. Ama ngga o toꞌu hak naa boe.”
29 They therefore who were about to examine him left him immediately. And the chief captain also was alarmed when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Ara rena Paulus toꞌu hak atahori Roma ma, soldꞌadꞌu ra raꞌadꞌedꞌeaꞌ. Ara nda rambarani filo ma paresaꞌ e sa ena. Malangga a nahine nae eni tao salaꞌ nalena-langga atoran ena, huu eni paꞌa Paulus ena. Naa de, ana namatau.
30 On the morrow, wishing to have certain knowledge why he was accused by the Jews, he released him, and ordered the chief priests and all the council to assemble; and bringing Paul down, he set him before them.
Mbilaꞌ neu ma, malangga a feꞌe nae sangga dedꞌeat a huu-pata na taꞌo bee. De ana denu soldꞌadꞌu nara reu roꞌe basa malangga mana nggero dedꞌeat agama Yahudi ra, fo raꞌabꞌue. Boe ma, ana denu reu sefi Paulus papaꞌa na, fo rendi e nisiꞌ basa atahori naa ra mata nara.
