Acts 26

1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.

Agilipa den yedi Polo: Li tuo han maadi ki ga a yuli. Polo den tandi o nuu ki baa maadi ki ga o yuli ki yedi:

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,

O bado Agilipa, n pali mani ke n baa fidi ki maadi a nintuali dinla ki ga n yuli, ki nan doagidi ke Jufinba n tabi nni yaala yaapo yeni naa tie moamoani.

3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

Kelima fini aba bani Jufinba bogida cain leni ban nia yaala yaapo. Lanwani, n mia ha han juuni ki cengi n maama.

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;

Jufinba kuli bani n yema n den tie maama hali n biwaama yogunu leni hali mi cilima n maadogu nni, leni Jelusalema nni.

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.

Bi bani nni hali ke li waagi, ki bani ke n tie Falisieni, yaa cagili n ñii ti jaanma po, leni tidanbogida po ki cie. Bi yaa bua bi baa fidi ki tieni seedi lipo

6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

Moala n se ne u bujiakaanu kani kelima n sugini ke U Tienu baa kuani wan den niani ti yaajanba ya ñoanianu.

7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

Ti buolu yaaba, bani i piiga n buoliedi yeni, yaaba n tuuni U Tienu po u yensiinu leni ku ñiagu kuli, n moko sugini laa ñoanianu kuama. O bado, li tie kelima laa suginma po yo ke Jufinba tabi nni.

8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?

Yinba, be n teni ke yi nua ke li kan tuo U Tienu n fiini bi tinkpiba?

9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Moamoani mini nba den tama ke li pundi min tieni min fidi yaala kuli ki yie Nasaleti yua Jesu yeli po.

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.

N den tieni yeni Jelusalema, ki baa bi kopadicianba kani li bali ki kuani bi nigagidihanba a kadidiena nni. Ban den jia leni ba, n den taa leni yaaba n den sua ke li pundi ba kpa ba.

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.

N go den caa li balimaama bangima diena nni ki wangi ba fala, ki tiendi ba u paalu ban sugi U Tienu. N pabienkandikaali den teni ke n caa baa i dolami nni ki fagidi ba.

12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,

Li tie lani yaa po ke n den baa bi kopadicianba yudanba kani li bali leni u sanu ki fii ki caa Damasa ki baan tieni yeni lanpo mo.

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.

O bado, u yensiinu ke n ye u sanu nni n den laa ya yenma n ñuliti ki cie ki yenga yenma, ke mi ñani tanpoli po ki yendi ki lindi nni, mini leni n yegininlieba.

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.’

Tikuli den baa tiipo. N den gbadi ke u nialu maadi leni nni Ebilu maama nni ki yedi: Solo, Solo, be yaa po yo ke a faligidi nni? Li baa pa apo han yiadi u danbu ki pua li bonmuukaala.

15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

N den yedi o: A tie hme? O Diedo den yedi nni: N tie Jesu, han faligidi yua.

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;

Fii ki hma ki sedi. N doagidi a po n yuli kelima n gandi a han yaa tie n naacemo leni n seedo, ki yaa wangi bi niba han laa yaala na leni min go baa waani a yaala.

17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,

N baa ga ha Jufinba leni yaaba n kaa tie Jufinba kuli nuu nni min baa soani a yaaba ya kani.

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.’

N soani a bikani ke han hubidi bi nuni, ki ñani ba li biigili nni ban kua mi yenma nni, ki ñani ba Sutaani paalu nni ban cua U Tienu kani. Lani ban baa bi tuonbiadi sugili, ki baa U Tienu n gagidi ki hanbi yaaba kelima li dandanli po ya siiga.

19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

Lanwani o bado Agilipa, den yie ke n kan tuo ki tieni min den laa tanpoli bonlekaala yaala yeni n puogi nni yaala. n

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.

den kpa wangi Damasa yaaba, ki yuandi ki wangi Jelusalema yaaba, leni Jude ya diema nni yaaba kuli. N go den wangi bi nilanba moko, ke ban lebidi bi yama ki hoadi U Tienu, ki yaa tuuni yaa tuona n doagidi ke bi lebidi.

21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.

Li tie lani yaa po ke Jufinba den cuo nni U Tienu diegu nni ki moandi ki baa kpa nni.

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,

Ama kelima U Tienu todima po n ye hali dinla ki tiendi seedi taliginba leni bi paatieba kuli po. Min yedi yaala taa yenma leni bi sawalipuaba leni Musa kuli n den pua sawali ke yaala n baa tieni yeni po, mii pugini lipo liba.

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.”

Lani n tie ke U Tienu n Gandi yua baa la fala tiladi, ki tua U Tienu n kpa fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga. O baa yaa wangi Jufinba leni bi nilanba kuli mi yenma maama.

24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”

Polo n den maadi yeni ki baa ga o yuli, Fesitusa den kpaani ki yedi: Polo, a gaadi, a cogiciamu teni ke a gaadi.

25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.

Polo den goa ki yedi o: Ti yudaano Fesitusa, mii gaadi ka. Min maadi yaama tie moamoani ki go tie yandanmaama.

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.

O bado Agilipa ma bani laa bonla maama fuuli. Lani n teni ke n maadi o kani leni li papaali, kelima n bani ke laa maama siiga baa mayenma ki boani o, kelima laa den tieni wuoli nni.

27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”

Fini o bado Agilipa, naani a dugi bi sawalipuaba maama po bi? N bani ke a dugi mipo.

28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”

Agilipa den goa ki yedi Polo: Li sieni waamu han teni min tua Kilisiti yua.

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.”

Polo den goa ki yedi o: Li yaa tie moala, bi li yaa baa waagi, min miadi U Tienu yaala tie ke lan da tua fini bebe ka, ama yinba yaaba n ye ne ki gba n maama kuli, n tua nani min tie maama ki yaa tie n kado bebe ne yaaka.

30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.

O bado leni gufeneeli leni Belenisa leni yaaba n den taani ki ka leni ba kuli den fii.

31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”

Ban den ña, bi den maadi leni biyaba ki tua: O naa joa naa tieni yaala n pundi ban kpa o, baa ban kuani o li kadidieli nni moko.

32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

O bado Agilipa den yedi Feasitusa: O joa na ya den soagini o buudi Sesa po, a bi baa fidi ki faabi o.
