Acts 22

1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”

E NA kanaka, na hoahanan, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka'u olelo hoakaka ia oukou.

2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,

(A lohe lakou i kana olelo ana mai ia lakou ma ka olelo Hebera, hooneoneo loa iho la lakou; a i mai la ia, )

3 “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.

He kanaka Iudaio no wau i hanauia ma Tareso i Kilikia, ma keia kulanakauhale nae au i hauaiia'i, ma na wawae o Gamaliela, ua aoia au mamuli o ke kanawai ikaika o na makua: ikaika loa no hoi au i ke Akua, e like me oukou i keia la.

4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,

Hana ino aku au a make ko keia aoao, me ka paa aku i na kane a me na wahine, a me ka haawi ia lakou i na halepaahao.

5 as also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

Ua ike pono ke kahuna nui, a me ka papa a pau o na lunakahiko; na lakou ka'u palapala i loaa mai ai no na hoahanau, a hele au ma Damaseko, e lawe mai i ka poe paa malaila i Ierusalema, i hoopaiia lakou.

6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.

A i ko'u hele ana a kokoke i Damaseko, i ke awakea, anapu koke mai la ka malamalama nui, mai ka lani mai, a puni au.

7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

A hina iho la au i ka lepo, a lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?

8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’

I aku la au, E ka Haku e, owai oe? I mai la kela ia'u, O Iesu no wau no Nazareta, ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.

9 “Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.

A ike aku la ka poe me au i ka malamalama, a makau iho la; aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u.

10 I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’

I aku la au, E ka Haku e, heaha ka'u e hana'i? I mai la ka Haku ia'u, E ku, a e hele i Damaseko, a malaila e haiia mai ai ia oe na mea a pau i hoomakaukauia'i nau e hana'i.

11 When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.

A i ka hiki ole ana ia'u ke ike, no ka nani o ia malamalama, alakai lima ia'ku au e ko'u poe hoahele, a hiki i Dameseko.

12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,

A o Anania, he kanaka haipule ma ke kanawai, i hoike pono ia e na Iudaio a pau i noho ilaila,

13 came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.

Oia ka i hele mai ia'u, ku mai, i mai ia'u, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, e ike oe. Ia hora no ike aku la au ia ia.

14 He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

I mai la ia, Ua koho mai ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna ia oe, i ike oe i kona makemake, a e ike aku hoi i ka Mea pono, a e lohe hoi i ka leo o kona waha.

15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

No ka mea, e lilo ana oe i mea hoike nona i kanaka a pau, ma na mea au i ike ai, a i lohe ai no hoi.

16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’

Ano hoi, e aha ana? E ku iluna, e bapetizoia, e holoi aku i kou hewa, a e hea aku i ka inoa o ka Haku.

17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance

A i ko'u hoi hou ana mai i Ierusalema nei, i ka'u pule ana maloko o ka luakini, loaa ia'u ka hihio;

18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’

A ike aku la au ia ia i ka i ana mai ia'u, E wiki oe, a e hele koke oe mawaho o Ierusalema nei; no ka mea, aole lakou nei e malama mai i ka mea au e hoike aku ai no'u.

19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.

I aku la au, E ka Haku e, ua ike no lakou, owau no ka mea i hookomo iloko o ka halepaahao, a hahau aku la maloko o na halehalawai, i ka manaoio aku ia oe:

20 When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’

A i hookaheia'i hoi ke koko o Setepano, o kou mea hoike, e ku ana no wau malaila me ka ae aku i kona make, a na'u no i malama ka aahu o ka poe i pepehi ia ia.

21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”

I mai la kela ia'u, O hele; no ka mea, e hoouna aku ana au ia oe i kahi loihi aku, i ko na aina e.

22 They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”

Hoolohe aku la lakou ia ia a hiki i keia hua, alaila hookiekie loa ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, i ae la, E kiola aku ia ia pela, mai ka honua aku; no ka mea, aole ia e pono ke ola.

23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,

I ko lakou kahea ana pela, hemo aku la lakou i ko lakou aahu, a kuehuehu aku la lakou i ka lepo iluna ma ka lewa;

24 the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.

Kauoha ae la ka lunatausani e kai ia ia iloko o ka pakaua, kauoha ae la, e hoopoipoi ia ia me ka hahau aku, i ike pono ia i ke kumu a lakou i uwauwa'i ia ia.

25 When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”

Hikii iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula ill, i aku la o Paulo i kekahi lunahaneri e ku ana ilaila, He mea pono anei ke hahau oukou i ka Roma, me ka hooku ole mai i ka hala?

26 When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”

A lohe ka lunahaneri, hele aku la ia a hai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, Heaha kau e hana nei? no ka mea, he Roma keia.

27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”

Alaila, hele mai la ka lunatausani, i mai la ia ia, E hai mai oe ia'u, he Roma anei oe? I aku la ia, Ae.

28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”

I mai la ua lunatausani la, He kumukuai nui ko'u i loaa mai ai ia'u keia kupa ana. I aku la o Paulo, Ua hanauia mai au, pela.

29 Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.

Nolaila haalele koke iho la ka poe hoopoipoi ia ia; a ike ka lunatausani, he Roma ia, makau iho la no ia, no kona hoopaa ana ia ia.

30 But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

A ia la ae manao iho la ia e ike pono i kona mea i hoopiiia'i e na Iudaio, wehe ae la oia ia ia, a kauoha aku la i ua kahuna nui, a me ka ahalunakanawai a pau, e hele mai, a alakai mai la oia ia Paulo, a hooku iho la ia ia imua o lakou.
