Acts 22
1 “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
Anu henu nan ankaco, rikani ti toi ikunna ubura um u aye a hira a shime aname.
2 When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
Sa ni ori na nabo wakunna tize ti bulus ini hem na ibraniyawa wadusa watatonno tek, magu.
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.
Me ubayahude mani uwatu usamirika anabo ini ikiliya, anyimo amanyanga mu gamaliyal a pokum aje ni, a kuri abezizi abinime kang inu gunno itarsi una u inko utize ta cokoro aro, izin nu inko iriba atize ta Asere kasi shime sa izin tini.
4 I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women,
Ma mensi anabo in husi ma kuri in tirzi ahana aruma nan na a ēh in han we ati gomo a tuburko we udenge unirere.
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.
Anime ani unu udang ukayuma ka Asere na nu wadi nya u inpo amaro inu guna ma kabi nikara nitize tu inko u watu ushi barki ni henu sa wa rani damascu, barki idusa abirko, katuma kam kani i tarsi adesa wa tarsa una ugino me, i en we anyimo urshalima barki a tarsi we.
6 “As I made my journey and came close to Damascus, about noon suddenly a great light shone around me from the sky.
Uganiya mara anyimo atanu, inkuri in ha ma mu nan damascu, inu wui ace uganiya u inde masaa madangdang usuro Asere u pokino ma ketum.
7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
In rizi adizii uganiya madusa ma kunna ni gmyirang ni gusa me, 'shawulu, shawulu, barki nyanini yawuna uzin nu kunna um iwono?'
8 I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
In babirikame, 'aveni hu ugomo Asere?' magun me, 'immani Yeso ubanazarat unigesa uzin nu nya ume uzito ugino me.'
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.
Anuge besa wazi nigo nan me wa iri masaa me, idaki warosi niggmyirang na veni mazin tize me ba.
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.’
Ma gu, 'nyanini indi wuzi hu ugomo Asere?' Ugomo Asere magume, 'magu me ihire idusa anyimo damascu, abini me ani adi boki we imum ikadure sa udi wuzi.
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.
Idaki iri ahira me ba barki umilme u masa, idusa anyimo damascu u watu u tarsa andebesa wazi ni go nan me.
12 “One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
Abirko me ani ma kem uye unaniz ni ananiya, una biyyau ba Asere ahira u inko utize, tini kobbo nanni zani rere aje ayahudawa as wa ciki abirko me.
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.
Ma eh ahira am magu, ni henu shawulu, kaba uhira unipen, rep na nu ganiya ginu me iri me.
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.
Uganiya magu, 'Asere aka co uro sa mazauka we inu gunna urosi imumbe sa me ma nyara wa ira unu iriba ishew iginome, kunna tize tige besa ti suso anyo ameme.
15 For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Udi cukuno unu impo amaru ame barki timumum sa wa ira nan ti gebe sa wa kunna tini.
16 Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
Aname nyanini uzin nu nyargame? hira azoro we akuri akpici we madini ma we me, unu tisa anyimo aniza nu meme.
17 “When I had returned to Jerusalem and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance
Uganiya sa ma kuri urushalima uganiya mazin im birigara anyimo udenge me ina makabi tiro.
18 and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
Ma irime magun me, 'wuza dibe-dibe u ceki urushalima a-a na me, barki wada kaba me u impo amaru imumbe sa udi boki ini ahira am ba.
19 I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
Uganiya sa azin nu kponko umaye munu impo amaru aweme istifanus, maturi izin nu impo amaru, in kuri in hiri tironga ta desa wa hume.
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.’
Magu, 'ugomo Asere, we ina ce awe warusa uwuna sa ma wuweni udenge uni rere in kuri intiri aye desa wa nya muruba muwe sa wa kabi we atidenge ti biringara.
21 “He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”
Manno magu me, 'dusa, barki idi tumu we abirko ahira anu amaree.
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!”
Anabu wa ceki me ma wuzi tize nan nu hana uganiya, barki anime wa dusa wa yeze agmyinrang wazi nu gusa na kari kunu kuginu me, anyimo unee, daki ya wuna urii acekime makese ba.
23 As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
Uganiya sa wazin nu yeze agmyinrang wa vingizi tironga tu we wa hirziza usuru u pebu.
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.
Unu udandang uma soja ma nya nikara ahamme in bulus ahira sa ma cikin, madusa ma nya magu a ikime a gunguzunu me in ni sisari barki wa rosi imum sa ya wuna izin me iti hunu ishina.
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?”
Uganiya sa w tirzi me ini sere, bulus magu ana dandang me sa wazi mamu nan me, ''nani ya wuna anime e wuna inko utize awu u barome a wuzi me tize tu inko a hume sarki ucoboo?''
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!”
Sa una je ma kunna anime ma ha ahira unu udandang nyanini n nyara u wuzi, ''unu uginu me una nu roma mani.''
27 The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
Unu udandang uma soja ma ē magu me, ''bukam hu una nu roma mani?'' bulus magu, ''anime ani.''
28 The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
Unu udandang uma soja makabrika me, ''adi kpi ucukuno vana umanyanga ini ikirfi igbardang.'' ine ini bulus magu, ''aymo uma manyanga mu roma.''
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.
Aye wa ē ugizo ume wa dusa wa ceki me daki wade ba, unu udandang uma soja ma kunna biyyau sa ma tinka unu gunna bulus u yoo wanu roma uni, sa mamu tirza me.
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.
Sa ahira asana, unu dandang uma soja me ma nyari marusi kadure kimum be sa ya wu awuzi anime ayahudawa wa wuzi anice ni bulus. Ma dusa ma soppi me anyimo tisere me, ma kuri ma nya unu dandang ukatuma kadandang ka Asere nan na nu ira wa gurna ma dusa ma en bulus atii aweme.
