< Acts 26 >

1 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:
Cekcoengawh Agrippa ing Paul a venawh, “Tuh awhtaw namah akawng kqawn thai hawh hyk ti,” tina hy. Cedawngawh paul ing a kut ing vaih khqi nawh ak cangnaak awi ce kqawn hy.
2 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;
“Agrippa sangpahrang, Judakhqi ing thawlh ami nik puknaak awh kak cangnaak awi kqawn aham na haiawh kang dyih thai dawngawh ka zoseen hy tinawh poek nyng,
3 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.
Judakhqi phunglam ingkaw dum a lai ben awikaa na sim soeih adawngawh, kak awih kqawn ve kawdungnaak ing na ning ngai law peek aham qeennaak thoeh law nyng.
4 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
Judakhqi boeih ing ka naasen ca awhkawng ka khawsaknaak ce sim uhy, ka mik a keh cyk ca awhkawng ka qam khui ingkaw Jerusalem awh ka khawsaknaakkhqi sim uhy.
5 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;
Kai ve khawqyt ami ni sim hawh dawngawh ami ngaih mai mantaw, kai akawng ve kqawn thai uhy, ka mimah bawknaak benawh ak kyi khyt, Farasi benna awm nyng.
6 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,
Ka pakhqi venawh Khawsa ing awi a taaknaak amyihna ngaih-unaak ka taaknaak a dawnawh tuhngawi awh kai ing awidengnaak hu nyng.
7 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,
Vawhkaw awikamnaak a soepnaak a tym ce lamtoen doena pilnam hlaihih tloek ing khawthan khawkdai Khawsa bi ce bi uhy. Aw sangpahrang vawhkaw ngaih-unaak a dawngawh Judakhqi ing kai thawlh nik puk uhy.
8 Why incredible is it judged by you if God [the] dead raises?
Ikawtih Khawsa ing thlakthi thawh sak tlaih hy tice ikawtih am namik cangnaak hy voei?
9 I myself indeed therefore thought in myself to the name of Jesus of Nazareth needing many things contrary to do,
Kai ingawm Nazareth Jesu ang ming ve ang coengnaak thai khuina oelh aham anak poek nyng.
10 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;
Cedawngawh Jerusalem khaw awh awm cemyihna ce ana sai nyng. Khawsoih boeikhqi a saithainaak ce haw na nyng saw thlakciim khawzah ce thawngim awh thla nyng, cekkhqi ce a thih sak awh, a mingmih ami thih ce ana ngaih pyi nyng.
11 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.
A mingmih toel aham sinakawk pynoet coeng pynoet awh cet nyng saw, Jesu ang ming ce kqawn seet sak ngah ngah nyng. Cekkhqi ak khan awh kak kaw a so soeih dawngawh, cekkhqi thekhanaak aham qam chang dy dyna cet nyng.
12 during which (and *k) journeying to Damascus with [the] authority and commission which [is] (from *k) the chief priests
Ceamyihna qam chang na ka ceh awh, hypoet taw khawsoeih boeikhqi a sathainaak haw na nyng saw Damaska khaw na cet nyng.
13 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.
Khawnghyp awh, Aw sangpahrang, lam ka ceh huili awh, khan na kaw vangnaak ce hu nyng, cawhkaw vangnaak cetaw khawmik anglakawh awm vang khqoet hy, ce ing ce kamah ingkaw ka ceh pyikhqi ce nik coei pheng khqi hy.
14 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.
Dek na tlu boeih unyng, cawh Aqamaic awi na awi ak kqawn law ce za nyng, ‘Saul, Saul, kawtih nani the nani kha naak? Hling na suih ce namah aham ni a tlawh hy,’ ni tina hy.
15 I myself then said; Who are You Lord? And (the Lord *no) said; I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting.
Cawh kai ing, ‘Nang ve a u nu, Bawipa?’ tina nyng. “Bawipa ing, ‘Kai taw nang ing na the na khanaak Jesu ni.
16 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,
Tuh tho nawhtaw dyi lah. Nang ve ka tyihzawih pynoet na caksak aham na venawh dang hawh nyng, kai ing na huh cekhqi ingkaw tuh awhkawng kai ing ka nim huh hly kawikhqi ak dyih pyikung dyihthing na awm kawp ti.
17 delivering you out from the people and (from *no) the Gentiles, to whom (I myself *N+KO) am sending you
Nak thlangkhqi ingkaw Gentelkhqi kut khui awhkawng kai ing ni hul kawng nyng.
18 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.
Cekkhqi amik dang sak nawh thannaak awhkawng vangnaak ak khuina hlat sak aham ingkaw, setan thaawmnaak kut khui awhkawng Khawsa benna hlat aham nang ve ni tyi kawng nyng, cawh ni cekkhqi ing thawlh qeenkhaw ngainaak ingkaw kai ak khuiawh cangnaak awh ciimnaak ak hukhqi anglakawh hun ce ami taak hly lawt,’ ni tina hy.
19 So then, O king Agrippa, not I was disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Cedawngawh, sangpahrang Agrippa, khawk khan nakaw ik-oeih ka huh ce am oelh thai nyng.
20 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.
Lamma cyk awh Damaska khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi venawh, cekcoengawh Jerusalem khaw awhkaw thlangkhqi ingkaw Juda qam awhkaw thlang boeih a venawh, Gentel thlangkhqi boeih a venawh awm, zutnaak ing Khawsa venna hlat unawh zutnaak ce them sainaak ing a ming dang sak thai aham awi kqawn pe nyng.
21 On account of these things me (the *k) Jews having seized (being *n) in the temple they were attempting to kill.
Vawh Judakhqi ing bawkim awh nim tu unawh him aham ni ngaih uhy.
22 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,
Cehlai tuhngawi dy awh Khawsa ing nik pyi hy, cedawngawh tuhngawi awh thlak zawi thlak bau a haiawh awi kqawn aham dyi nyng. Tawnghakhqi ingkaw Mosi ing ak law hly kawi ik-oeih anak kqawn ce ak pleeng na awi ap kqawn nyng-
23 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.
Khrih ing a khuikha awh thlakthi anglak awhkawng lammacyk na tho kaw, ak thlangkhqi ingkaw Gentel thlangkhqi venawh vangnaak awi kqawn pe kaw, ti ceni kak khypyi hy,” tina hy.
24 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]!
Paul ing ak cangnaak awi ak kqawn huili awh Festa ing awi ce qawt pehy. “Paul, na cyih am awm voel hy ve! Ak sang na cyihnaak na cawngnaak ing ni qaw sak hawh hy,” tina hy.
25 But (Paul; *no) Not I am insane says most excellent Festus, but of truth and sobriety declarations I utter.
Cawh paul ing, “Ak leek soeih Festa, am qaw nyng. Kak awih kqawn ve thym nawh a kung a dawng awm hy.
26 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.
Sangpahrang ing vemyihkhqi ve sim hy, anih a venawh ngaihding na kqawn pe thai nyng. A kil awh ang hyp ik-oeih sai na ama awm adawngawh, vawhkaw kak kqawnkhqi boeih ve ama sim pynoet ca awm am awm hy tinawh sim nyng.
27 Believe you, King Agrippa, in the prophets? I know that you believe.
Agrippa sangpahrang, tawngha khqi ve nak cangnaak nu? Cang na hyk ti tice sim nyng,” tina hy.
28 Then Agrippa to Paul (was saying: *k) Within so little [time] me you [seek to] persuade a Christian (to become! *N+kO)
Cawh Agrippa ing Paul na ce, “A tym ak tawica ak khuiawh kai ve Khrih thlang na ning coeng sak vang tinawh nak poek nawh nu?” tina hy.
29 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.
Paul ing, “A tym ak tawica awm khawk choet awm nang doeng kaana tuhngawi awh kai ak awi ak ngaikhqi boeih ing, vawhkaw thiqui kqawn kaana, kai amyihna nami awm thainaak aham Khawsa venawh cykcah nyng,” tina hy.
30 (and these things when was speaking he *K) rose up (then *no) the king and the governor and Bernice and those sitting with them;
Cawh sangpahrang ce tho hy, anih ak pyikung qam uk boei ingkaw Bernice ingkaw cawh ak ngawikhqi boeih ce tho uhy.
31 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.
Ipkhui awhkawng ami ceh awh, “Ve ak thlang ing ve thih ham ingkaw thawngim tlaak aham kawi na ikaw awm am sai hlai hy,” ti qu uhy.
32 Agrippa then to Festus was saying; to have been released was able man this, only unless he had appealed to Caesar.
Agrippa ing Festa a venawh, “Kaisara a venna ceh aham ama thoeh mantaw, ve ak thlang ve hlah aham awm mai hawh hlai hy,” tina hy.
