< Acts 26 >

1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
AYONAE si Agripa ilegña as Pablo: Jupetmite jao na uncuentos pot jago namaesa. Ayonae si Pablo jaestira mona y canaeña ya manope pot güiya namaesa.
2 “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,
Magofyo ray, Agripa, sa jufanope pot guajo gui menamo pago na jaane, pot todo y mafaaelajo ni y Judio sija.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Yan pot y jutungo na jago untungo todo y costumbre yan y finaesen gui entre y Judios; pot enaomina jutayuyut jao na con pasensiamo umaecungogyo.
4 “Indeed, all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem;
Y jaanejo desde y pinatgonjo, ni y finenana gui entre y nasionjo yan guiya Jerusalem, todo y Judios tumungo.
5 having known me from the first, if they are willing to testify, that after the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
Matungojayo desde y tutujonña, yaguin manmalago masangan, na taemanoja y mas tunas na secta y religionta, jumajanaoyo taegüije y Fariseo.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Ya pago, tumotojgueyo ya majus gayo pot y ninanggan y promesa ni y jafatinas si Yuus gui mañaenata.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Ni y manmaprometa y dose tribus, masestbeja si Yuus jaane yan puenge, mananangga na ufato. Ya pot ayo na ninangga ray Agripa, na mafaaelayo ni y Judio sija.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Jaftaemano majusga y tijongguiyon entre jamyo, na si Yuus janacajulo y manmatae?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Guajo magajet na jujaso gui jinalomjo, na nesesitayo jufatinas megae contra y naan Jesus Nasareno.
10 I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.
Ya jufatinas este locue guiya Jerusalem; ya megae na mañantos jupreso, anae manresibeyo ninasiña guinin y magas mamale; ya anae para ufanmapuno, junae vosso contra sija.
11 Punishing them often in all the synagogues, I tried to make them blaspheme. Being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
Ya jucastiga sija gui sinagoga, ya juprocura na junafanman chatfino contra si Yuus; ya pot gogoslalaloyo contra sija, jupetsigue sija achogja asta otro siuda sija.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
Ya anae jumajanaoyo para Damasco yan y ninasiña guinin y magas mamale sija,
13 at noon, O king, I saw on the way a light from the sky, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who traveled with me.
Y taloane, O ray, julie gui chalan y candet guinin y langet, na malagña qui y ininan y atdao, ya manina gui oriyajo yan ayo y mangachochongjo manjanao.
14 When we had all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Ya anae mamodongjam todo gui jilo oda, jujungog y inagang na jacuentuseyo gui fino Hebreo, ilegña: Saulo, Saulo, jafa na unpetsisigueyo? mapot para jago y unfamateg contra y títuca.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Ya ilegco: Jaye jao Señot? ya ilegña: Guajo si Jesus ni y unpetsisigue.
16 But arise, and stand on your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose: to appoint you a servant and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will reveal to you;
Lao, cajulo ya untojgue; sa jufatoigüe jao pot este na jinaso, para junaministro jao yan untestigo ni este sija na güinaja y liniimo, yan ayo sija y pot y jufatoigüe jao;
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Junalibre jao gui pueblo yan y Gentiles, ya pago junajanao jao para iya sija,
18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
Para unbaba y atadogñija, yan unbira sija gui jemjom para y manana, yan y ninasiñan Satanas para as Yuus, ya ujaresibe y inasiin y isaoñija, yan erensia gui entalo ayo sija y manafangasgas pot y jinenggue ni y gaegue guiya guajo.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Ya pot ayo, ti chatmatagoyo, O ray Agripa, para y vision y langet:
20 but declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Lao jusangane finenana ayo sija y mangaegue Damasco, yan iya Jerusalem, yan todo y tano Judea, yan y Gentiles, na ufanmañotsot ya ujabira sija para as Yuus, yan ufanmachocho y chechoñija ni y para mañotsot.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Sa pot este sija na maconeyo ni y Judios gui guimayuus para jumapuno.
22 Having therefore obtained the help that is from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would happen,
Lao jatacayo y inayudan Yuus, ya jusisigueja asta pago na jaane, mannanaeyo testimonio parejoja y diquique yan y dangculo; taya jusasangan na ayo y ufato ni y sinangan Moises yan y proteta sija;
23 how the Christ must suffer, and how, by the resurrection of the dead, he would be first to proclaim light both to these people and to the Gentiles.”
Na si Cristo, nesesitagüe ufamadese, ya güiya ufinenana, pot ucajulo guinin y manmatae, ufannae candet gui pueblo yan y Gentiles.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Ya anae cumuecuentos, umagang si Festo ni y dangculo na inagangña, ilegña: Caduco jao Pablo: megae na tiningo ninacaduco jao.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Lao si Pablo ilegña: Ti caducoyo Festo; lao jusasangan y sinangan ni y magajet yan y tinas.
26 For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.
Sa y ray jatungoja estesija, cumuentosyoja gui menaña locue libre; sa seguroyo na taya güine sija na güinaja umanaatog guiya güiya; sa estesija, ti manmafatinas gui rincon.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Ray Agripa, unjonggue y profeta sija? jutungo na unjonggue.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Ayonae si Agripa ilegña as Pablo, Canaja unnamamañañayo para juquilisyano.
29 Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.”
Ya si Pablo ilegña. Malagoyo as Yuus, na ti jagoja, lao todo ayo sija y jumungogyo pago na jaane, ufantaegüine iya guajo, fuera di y mapresujo.
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Ya anae munjayan jasangan este, cumajulo y ray yan y magalaje, yan Bernise, yan ayo sija y mangachongñiñija manmatachong.
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Ya anae mañuja, manguentos uno yan y otro, ilegñija: Taya finatinasña este na taotao, na jamerese y finatae, pat umapreso.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Ayonae ilegña si Agripa as Festo: Este na taotao, umanalibre, yaguin ti jagagao jinisgaña gui as Sesat.
