Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to my defense which I will now make to you.”
«Ti eeshuwotsnat tnihotso! eshe and itsh tt'intsiru aani tdek'etuwo tiko k'ewere!»
2 When the crowd heard Paul speak to them in the Hebrew language, they became quiet. He said,
Ibrayist'i noon keewu keewon b́ keewufere boshishtsok'on iki s'k etbowtsi, P'awloswere b́keewiru keewo b́ need'irawo hank'o bí eti.
3 “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but educated in this city at the feet of Gamaliel. I was instructed according to the strict ways of the law of our fathers. I am zealous for God, just as all of you are today.
«Taa Kilk'iyitse daatseyiru T'erses kitotse shuwets ayhudiwi taane, tieenmó Iyerusalem Kitmanitsne. Taan danifonuwere Gemalyailiye b́teshi, nih nihwots nemono shengshdek'at danre, hambets it k'aliruwank'o Ik'osh ookorona tfinefoni.
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding up and delivering them to prison both men and women,
Krstni imneti shuuts sha'iryiru jamwotsi k'irosh borfetso t gishfoni, nungushuwotsnat máátsuwotsn tifde'er tipi moots bokindituwok'o twoshfoni.
5 as the high priest and all the elders can bear witness. I received letters from them for the brothers in Damascus, and went there to bring them back in bonds to Jerusalem in order for them to be punished.
Manuwere ar b́wottsok'o kahni naashonat eenashuwots taash gawitune. Eshe Demask'on fa'a ashaanotsi tifde'er Iyerusalem maants dewar boon Seziyosh taan falituwo Demask'on fa'a jirwotsoke guut'ets worek'ato tdek'iye boowokne.
6 It happened that when I was traveling and nearing Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light from heaven began to shine around me.
«Taa Demask'o maants amfetsat kituk tt'infere aawu taalon t gawuraniyere een shááno darotse t gúratse b́goli.
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'
Manoor dattsats dihi twutsi, ‹Sawulo! Sawulo! eegishe taan ngishiri?› etiru k'aaro tshshi.
8 I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' He said to me, 'I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.'
Taawere ‹Doonzono! kone nee?› t eti, bíwere ‹Taahe nee ngishiruwo Nazrettso Iyesus taane› bí eti.
9 Those who were with me saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
Taanton beyiru ashuwotswere shaanmani bobek'i bako taan b́keewiyor b́k'aaro shiyatsne.
10 I said, 'What should I do, Lord?' The Lord said to me, 'Arise and go into Damascus; there you will be told everything that you must do.'
Taawere ‹Doonzono! eeg k'aluta!› t eti. Doonzonuwere ‹Tuur Demask'o maants amee, k'alo neen b́geyit keewu jamo manoke neesh keewetuwe› bí eti.
11 I could not see because of that light's brightness, and being led by the hands of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
Shanman goltsatse tuutson bek'o tfalrawotse taanton teshts ashuwots tkisho detsdek't taan jishfere Demask'oyi bobetsi.
12 There I met a man named Ananias, a devout man according to the law and well spoken of by all the Jews who lived there.
«Manoke Hananiy eteef ash iko fa'e b́teshi, Demask'oyitse beyiru Ayhudi jamwotsoke udetso, Muse nemo kottsonat shayiri ashe b́teshi.
13 He came to me, stood by me, and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight.' In that very hour I saw him.
Bí waat t ganok need' dek't ‹Tieshu Sawulo! ni'aawo aani be'e!› taash bíeti, manorun tiaawo b́ bek'i, bínowere tbek'i.
14 Then he said, 'The God of our fathers has chosen you to know his will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear the voice coming from his own mouth.
Bíwere hank'o taash bíeti, ‹Nonihotsko Izar Izeweriye bíettso ndanetuwok'o kááwono be'er b́k'aronowere nshishetwok'o shin shino neen marat'ere,
15 For you shall be a witness for him to all men about what you have seen and heard.

16 Now why are you waiting? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'
Eshe and eebi nkotiri? tuur b́shútso s'eer gúpeyowe, nmorratsnowere mashowe.›
17 After I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I was praying in the temple, it happened that I was given a vision.
«Maniyerehakon Iyerusalem maants aanat Ik'i mootse Ik'o tk'onfere tgitsotse t'iwintson bek'o tbek'i.
18 I saw him say to me, 'Hurry and leave Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about me.'
Doonzonwere taash be'eyat ‹Nee t jangosh n imet gawo bode'awotse nja'arawo káári Iyerusalemitse kee› bí eti
19 I said, 'Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat those who believed in you in every synagogue.

20 When the blood of Stephen your witness was spilled, I also was standing by and agreeing, and I was guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.'

21 But he said to me, 'Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'”
Doonzonuwere ‹Wokooke fa'a Ik' ash Woteraw ashuwotsok neen twoshitwotse tuur amee!› bí eti.»
22 They listened to him until he said this. Then they shouted and said, “Away with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not right that he should live.”
Han b́ borfetsosh ash jamwots P'awlos keewiru keewo bok'ebfere boteshi, maniyre hakon bok'aaro eenshdek't, «Hank'o ashaan datsatse t'afuwe! hank'o ashaan kashon beyo bísh geyiratse!» ett bokuhi.
23 As they were shouting, throwing off their cloaks, and throwing dust into the air,
Bowere kuhefetst botaho shap'fetst shawono darots bobad'ri.
24 the chief captain commanded Paul to be brought into the fortress. He ordered that he should be questioned with scourging, so that he himself might know why they were shouting against him like that.
Altsonuwere man b́bek'tsok'on P'awlosi kes' kes'fuwots galots bokindshituwok'o bíazazi, ash ashonwere eegosh hank'o bíats bokúhiruwok'o danosh jod'fetsr aatetuwok'o bíazazi.
25 When they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said to the centurion who was standing by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman and who has not been put on trial?”
Ernmó shaak'on tifde'er jot'osh bok'anefere P'awlos b́ganoke need'iru bali naashosh «Rom dats ash iko tafiyalo njot'etuwok'o neesh faletuwá?» bí eti.
26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen.”
Bali naashonuwere han b́shishtsok'on alirwok amt «Eeg k'alishe? Ashaan Rom datsi ashe!» bí eti.
27 The chief captain came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” Paul said, “Yes.”
Mansh alirwo P'awlos maants t'int «Ab taash keewwe, nee Rom datsatsi ashneneya?» bíeti, bíwere «Ee taane» bí eti.
28 The chief captain answered, “It was only with a large amount of money that I acquired citizenship.” But Paul said, “I was born a Roman citizen.”
Azazefonuwere «Rom dats ashok'o taaweyosh ay gize tkishi» bíet, P'awloswere «Taayere Rom dats asho woto tdaats shuweyonee» bí eti.
29 Then the men who were going to question him left him immediately. The chief captain also was afraid, when he learned that Paul was a Roman citizen, because he had tied him up.
Mansh bín aatosh k'andek't teshts ashuwots manoor bíyatse k'azbowoki, azazirwonuwere Rom dats asho habliyon b́tipo danb́k'rtsok'on shatb́wtsi.
30 On the next day, the chief captain wanted to know the truth about the Jews' accusations against Paul. So he untied his bonds and ordered the chief priests and all the council to meet. Then he brought Paul down and placed him in their midst.
Yaatsok'on azaziruwo, ayhudiwots P'awlosi bos'amitso arikon eegosh b́wottsok'o dano b́geyi, mansh kahni naashuwotsnat mooshiruwotsitsi jamwots bokakuweetuwok'o bí azazi, P'awlosnowere bits dek'amt boshinaats bí t'intsi.
