Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Kwibhyo, Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'Owikilisibhwa okwililila.' Niwo Paulo nagolola okubhoko kwae nelilila kutya.
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,
“Enilola no bhukondeleywe, Omukama Agripa, koleleki ikoleke ikesi yani imbele yao lelo ku masitaka gone aga bhayaudi.
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Kulwo kubha, awe uli mumenyi wa jintungwa ja bhayaudi na masubhyo. Kulwejo enisabhwa untegeleshe kwo kwikomesha
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;
Ni chimali, abhayaudi bhona abhamenya lwakutyo naliga nikae kusoka mu bhusigaji bhwani mwi Yanga lwani eyo Yerusalemu.
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.
Bhamenyele kusoka mu bwambilo kulwejo kubheile okwikilisha ati nekae kuti mufarisayo, lijeebhu elyo bhwima bhululu mu dini yeswe.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Woli nimeleguyu anu nilamulwe kulwo kubha anye enilola omulago gunu Nyamuanga akolele na bhalata bheswe.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Gunu ni mulago gunu jiganda jeswe ekumi ne bhili jili no kwiikanya okulamila labha bhakamulamya Nyamuanga kwa managa mugeta na mu mwisi. Ni ingulu ye liikanya linu, Omukama Agripa, ati abhayaudi abhansitaka.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Kulwaki wona wona agati yemwe keganilisha ebhilugusho ati Nyamuanga kasulula abhafue?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Omwanya gumwi neganilisishe omwene ati nakakolele misango myafu ingulu ya lisina lya Yesu owa nanjaleti.
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.
Nakolele ganu mu Yerusalemu; Nabhabhoyele abhekilisha bhafu mwibhoyelo, naliga no bhutulo okusoka kubhagabhisi Abhakulu okukola kutyo; omwanya ogwo nibhetwa, nabhumile nibhetogya ingulu yebhe
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.
Omwanya mwafu nabhabhumile mu likofyanyisho lyona na legejishe okubhakola bhasige elikilisha lyebhwe. Naliga ne bhinyiga muno ingulu yebhwe nibabhilimya nolyo mu misi Jo bhugenyi.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
Omwanya ogwo naliga Nikola ganu, Nagendele Damesiki, na liga no bhutulo na malagililo okusoka KU bhagabhisi Abhakulu; Ao naliga nili mu njila omwanya gwa mu
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.
mwisi, Omukama, nalolele obhwelu okusoka mulwile gunu gwaliga gusekanile kukila lisubha nigulabhangilya nigusingila anye na bhanu bhanu haliga nibhalibhata amwi nanye.
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.’
Eswe bhona chejile chikagwa ansi, no nguwe Obhulaka Ni bhaika nanye nibhwaika mu lulimi lwe chiebulania: -Sauli, Sauli KU bhanki ounysha? chikomee kwawe okubhala omugele kwi chumu.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Nio ninaika,'awe nawega, Latabhugenyi?' Latabhugenyi nasubya, 'Anye Ni Yesu unu ounyasha.
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;
Oli imuka wimelegulu kwa magulu gao; Ku songa inu anye nabhonekana kwawe, nakusola okubha mukosi no mubhambhasi ingulu ye misango ejo oumenya kulubhana nanye oli ne misango ejo nilakwelesha imbele;
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Enikukisha okusoka KU bhanu na bhanu bha maanga kwabho enikutuma,
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.’
Oufundukula ameso gebhwe no kubhasosha mu chisute no kuja mu bhwelu no kusoka mu managa ga nyakusheta bhamulubhe Nyamuanga; Koleleki bhabhone okulamila okusoka ku Nyamuanga okusasilwa kwe bhikayo no kulya omwandu kunu nibhayanile bhalya bhanu nauye ku likilisha linu Lili kwanye.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Kwibhyo, Omukama Agripa, nitatulile kulema ebhilolo bhya mulwile,
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.
nawe, kubhalya bhanu bhali mu Dameski okwamba, no kumala Yerusalemu na muchalo chona echa Yudea, one na KU bhanu bha maanga agandi, nasimuye ati bhate no kumuindukila Nyamuanga, bhakole ebhikolwa bhinu bhiile okuta.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
kwa insonga eyo abhayaudi bhangwatile mwiyekalu, nibhalegeja okunyita.
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,
Nyamuanga ansakie kukinga woli, kwibhyo enimelegulu no kubhabhambalila abhanu bhanu bhenganilie na kubhalya bhakulu ingulu ya galya ganu abhalagi na Musa bhaikile ati galibhonekana Nolwo gatali gandi;
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.”
Ati Kristo Ni bhusi bhusi anyasibhwe na kabha wo kwamba okusuluka okusoka mu bhafue no kwelesha obhwelu ku bhayaudi na KU bhanu bha maanga.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Paulo ejile amala okwililila, Festo aikile kwo bhulaka bhunene, 'Paulo, awe uli musasii! lisoma lwao lyakukolele kubha musasi.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Mbe nawe Paulo naika ati, anye nitali musasi, mukulu we chibhalo Festo; nawe kwo bhubhasi naika emisango je chimali chenyele.
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.
Kulwo kubha Omukama kamenya okulubhana ne misango jinu; Kwibho, enaika kwo kwiyagala KU mwene, kulwejo nili ne chimali ati gutalio gwona gwona gunu gwiselekele ku mwene, kulwo kubha gunu guchali kukolwa ku mbali.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Angu, owikilisha abhalagi, Omukama Agripa? Enimenya ati owikilisha.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
'Agripa namubhwila Paulo, 'kwo mwanya mufui outula okunkongya anye no kunkola kubha mukristo?
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.”
Paulo naika ati, '“Enimusabhwa Nyamuanga ati kwo mwanya mufui amwi mulela, atali awe-la, nawe bhone bhanu abhanyungwa lelo, bhabhe Kanye nawe atali jiboelo ja mwibhoyelo.”
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Niwo Omukama nemelegulu, no mutwale, na Bernike one, na bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhenyanjile amwi nabho,
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Bhejile bhasokao mwigalagalilo, nibhelomela abhene kwa bhene no kwaika, 'omunu unu ateile kufwa Nolwo kubhoywa.'
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Agripa namubhwila Festo, “Omunu unu chakamusigilela eyagale achilema okugendelela imbele KU Kaisari.”
