Acts 26
1 Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: thou arte permitted to speake for thy selfe. Then Paul stretched forth the honde and answered for him selfe.
Nga nyo, Agripa kammakiya Paulo,'Unaruhusiwa kujitetea.'Nga nyo Paulo kanyosha luboko lwake akajitetea nyoo.
2 I thynke my selfe happy kynge Agrippa because I shall answere this daye before the of all the thinges wherof I am accused of ye Iewes
“Najibonekeya mwenye furaha, Mpwalume Agripa, ili kupanga kesi yango nnongi yako leno dhidi ya mashitaka yoti ya Ayahudi.
3 namely because thou arte experte in all customes and questions which are amonge the Iewes. Wherfore I beseche the to heare me paciently.
Hasa, kwa mana wenga ni mtaalamu wa desturi za Ayahudi na maswali. Nga nyo naloba unipekaniye kwa uvumilivu.
4 My lyvynge of a chylde which was at the fyrst amoge myne awne nacion at Ierusalem knowe all the Iewes
Kweli, Ayahudi bote batangite namna natama tangu uinja wango katika litaifa lyango kolyo Yerusalemu.
5 which knew me from ye beginnynge yf they wolde testifie it. For after the most straytest secte of oure laye lyved I a pharisaye.
Banitangite tangu mwanzo na bapalikwa kuyeketya panga natama kati Mfarisayo, dhehebu lyalibile msimamo mkale katika dini yetu.
6 And now I stond and am iudged for the hope of the promes made of God vnto oure fathers:
Nambeambe niyemi pano nihukumiwe kwa sababu nenga natiilinga ahadi ambayo Nnongo apangite na tate bitu.
7 vnto which promes oure. xii. tribes instantly servynge God daye and nyght hope to come. For which hopes sake kynge Agrippa am I accused of the Iewes.
Ayee nga ahadi ambayo makabila yitu komi na ibele yatumaini pokya kati bamwabudu Nnongo kwa bidii kilo na mutwekati. Ni kwa ajili ya litumaini lee, mpwalume Agripa, panga Ayahudi banishitaki.
8 Why shuld it be thought a thinge vncredible vnto you that god shuld rayse agayne the deed?
Kwa mwanja namani yeyote kati yinu anafikiri ni ajabu panga Nnongo hufufua bandu ba kiwo?
9 I also verely thought in my selfe that I ought to do many cotrary thinges clene agaynst the name of Iesus of Nazareth:
Muda umo niikite mwene panga nipangite makowe ganansima dhidi ya lina lya Yesu wa Nazareti.
10 which thinge I also dyd in Ierusalem. Where many of the sainctes I shut vp in preson and had receaved auctorite of ye hye prestes. And whe they were put to deeth I gave the sentence.
Nipangite aga katika Yerusalemu; Naatabike baamini banyansima muligereza, na nibile na mamlaka boka kwa akolo ba makuhani kupanga nyoo; na muda wa babulagwa, nipigire kura nnani yao.
11 And I punysshed them ofte in every synagoge and compelled them to blaspheme: and was yet more mad apon them and persecuted the even vnto straunge cities.
Mara yanansima natiwaadhibu katika masinagogi yote na nilijaribu kuwapanga baikane imani yao. Nibile na hasira muno nnani yao na natiabutukiya hata katika miji ya ugenini.
12 About the which thinges as I went to Damasco with auctorite and licence of the hye Prestes
Muda panibile napanga aga, niyenda Dameski, nibile na mamlaka na maagizo boka kwa makuhani akolo,
13 even at myddaye (o kynge) I sawe in ye waye a lyght from heven above the brightnes of the sunne shyne rounde about me and them which iorneyed with me.
nibile mundela muda wa mutwekati, Mpwalume, nibweni mwanga boka kumaunde ubile mkale kuliko liumu na lyating'ara kutuzunguka nenga na bandu batisafiri pamope na nenga.
14 When we were all fallen to the erth I hearde a voyce speakynge vnto me and sayinge in ye Hebrue tonge: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me? It is harde for the to kicke agaynste the pricke.
Twenga twabote twatitomboka pae, niyowine lilobe lyatibaya na nenga ikabaya katika lugha ya kiebrania,'Sauli, Sauli kwa mwanja namani wanitesa? Ni vigumu kwako kuukombwa teke mchokoo.
15 And I sayde: Who arte thou lorde? And he sayde I am Iesus whom thou persecutest.
Nga nikabaya,'Wenga wa nyai, Ngwana?' Ngwana kayangwa,'Nenga na Yesu ambaye wanitesa.
16 But ryse and stond vp on thy fete. For I have apered vnto the for this purpose to make the a minister and a witnes both of tho thinges which thou hast sene and of tho thinges in the which I will appere vnto the
Nambeambe inuka uyemi kwa magolo gako; sababu kwa likusudi lee nenga natibonekana kwako, natikuchawa kuwa mtumishi na shahidi nnani ya makowe ambayo utangite kuhusu nenga nambeambe na makowe nalowa kukubonekeya baadae;
17 delyverynge the from the people and from ye gentyls vnto which nowe I sende the
na Nalowa kukulopwa boka kwa bandu ba bandu ba mataifa ambapo nakutuma,
18 to open their eyes that they myght turne from darcknes vnto lyght and from the power of Satan vnto God that they maye receave forgevenes of synnes and inheritauce amonge the which are sanctified by fayth in me.
Kufungua minyo yabe na kubatoa mulibendo kuyenda mu'bweya na boka mu'nguvu ya nchela nakunkerebukiya Nnongo, ili bapate pokya boka kwa Nnongo msamaha ba sambi na urithi ambao niwepeya balo banibatengile kwa imani yaibile kwango.
19 Wherfore kynge Agrippa I was not disobedient vnto the hevenly vision:
Nga nyo mpwalume Agripa, naweza kwaa kuasi maono ga kumaunde,
20 but shewed fyrst vnto them of Damasco and at Ierusalem and thorow out all the costes of Iewry and to the gentyls that they shuld repent and turne to God and do the ryght workes of repentaunce.
lakini, kwa balo babile katika Dameski kwanza, na boka po Yerusalemu na nchi yote ya Yudea, na pia kwa bandu ba mataifa yenge, natihubiri panga batubu na kunkerebukia Nnongo, bapange matendo yastahiliya toba.
21 For this cause the Iewes caught me in the temple and went about to kyll me.
Kwa mana eyo Ayahudi bakamwile mulihekalu, bakajaribu kunibulaga.
22 Neverthelesse I obtayned helpe of God and cotynew vnto this daye witnessyng bothe to small and to greate saying none other thinges then those which the prophetes and Moses dyd saye shuld come
Nnongo amenisaidia mpaka nambeambe, nga nyo nayema na kushuhudia kwa bandu ba kawaida na kwa balo akolo nnani ya yalo ambayo manabii na Musa bagabaya yalowa pangika na vingine kwaa;
23 that Christ shulde suffre and that he shuld be the fyrst that shulde ryse from deeth and shuld shewe lyght vnto the people and the gentyls.
Panga Kristo lazima alowa teseka na alowa wa kwanza kufufuka boka mu'kiwo na kutangaza bweya kwa Ayahudi na bandu bamataifa.
24 As he thus answered for him selfe: Festus sayde with a lowde voyce: Paul thou arte besides thy selfe. Moche learnynge hath made the mad.
Paulo paayomwile kujitetea, Festo abaya kwa lilobe likolo,'Paulo wenga wa mwenda wazimu! masomo gako gakupangite uwe mwendawazimu.
25 And Paul sayde: I am not mad most dere Festus: but speake the wordes of trueth and sobernes.
Lakini Paulo kabaya, Nenga na mwendawazimu kwaa, mheshimiwa Festo; lakini kwa ujasiri nabaya maneno ga ukweli mtupu.
26 The kynge knoweth of these thinges before whom I speke frely: nether thynke I that eny of these thinges are hydden fro him. For this thinge was not done in a corner.
Kwa mana mpwalume atangite kuhusu makowe aga; nga nyo, nilongela kwa uhuru kwake, kwa mana nibile na uhakika panga ntopo lolote lyalifichika kwake; kwa mana lee lipangikwa kwaa pembeni.
27 Kynge Agrippa belevest thou ye prophetes? I wote well thou belevest.
Je, ubaaminiya manabii, mpwalume Agripa? Nitangite panga uaminiya.'
28 Agrippa sayde vnto Paul: Sumwhat thou bringest me in mynde for to be come a Christen.
Agripa kammakiya Paulo,'kwa muda mwipi waweza kunishawishi nenga na kunipanga Mkristo?
29 And Paul sayd: I wolde to God that not only thou: but also all that heare me to daye were not sumwhat only but altogeder soche as I am except these bondes.
Paulo kabaya, “Nannoba Nnongo panga, kwa muda mwipi au mrefu, wenga kwaa, ila pia bote mwamuniyowine leno, mupangike kati nenga, lakini bila yelo minyororo ya muligereza.”
30 And when he had thus spoken the kynge rose vp and the debite and Bernice and they that sate with them.
Nga nyo mpwalume ayemi, na liwali, na Bernike kae, na balo babile batama pamope nao.
31 And when they were gone aparte they talked betwene them selves sayinge: This man doeth nothinge worthy of deeth nor of bondes.
Batiboka ukumbini, walilongela bembe kwa bembe no baya,'Mundu yolo astahili kwaa kiwo wala kifungo'.
32 Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght have bene lowsed yf he had not appealed vnto Cesar.
Agripa kammakiya Festo, “mundu yolo aweza kubekwa huru mana aikanikiya rufani kwa Kaisari.”
