Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
AKRIPA ap masani ong Paulus: Koe me saladoklar en kapakaparok ki pein uk. Paulus ap kapa wei lim a, kadededar pein i:
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,
I ap peren kidar maing nanmarki Akripa, me i pan kapakaparok mo’mui ran wet duen meakan, me Sus oko pang kin ia la,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
Pwe komui me erekilar en Sus oko ar lamalam o peipeidok kan, i ap poeki re omui, en kotin kanongama mamangi ia.
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;
Ai wiawia kan arain maur i, me tapida Ierusalem ren sau i kan, Sus akan karos asa due.
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.
Irail me asa ia sang mas kokodo, ma re men kadede ia, me ngai kisan pwin kelail en at lamalam, me ad a Parisär.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Ngai ari mi mon kadeik, pweki ai kaporoporeki inau o, me Kot kotiki ong sam at akan.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Nan i inau o, me at kainok eisokriau kin kaporoporeki, me re pan pwaiki ong ar nantiong kaudok ong Kot ni ran o ni pong. Maing nanmarki Akripa iei kaporopor me i pang kila ren Sus oko.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Da me komail sota kamelele, me Kot kotin kaiasada me melar akan?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
Mas o i kiki ong, me i en wiada meakan, me kaokaoe mar en Iesus en Nasaret.
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.
I me i pil wiadar nan Ierusalem; o me saraui kan toto me i saliedier ong nan imateng murin ai aleer manaman sang ren samero lapalap akan o irail lao kamelar, ngai pil sauasa.
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.
I kame irail pan pak toto nan sinakoke kan karos, o koidong ong irail, re en lalaue, o ngai lingarangar kaualap pa’rail; i kin kame irail lel ong kanim en wai kan.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
A ni ai wiawia mepukat, o kokolang Damaskus ni manaman en samero lapalap,
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.
Maing nanmarki, nin sauas i ap kilangadar nani al o marain eu sang nanlang, me lingan sang katipin, me sensereda imp ai o me iang ia kai.
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.’
Kit karos lao pupedier nani pwel, i ap rongadar ngil eu, katitiki ong ia ni lokaia en Ipru: Saul, Saul da me koe kamekame kin ia? Nan a pan apwal ong uk, en tametame tek o.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Ngai ari idok: Is komui Maing? Kaun o ap kotin masani: Ngai Iesus, me koe kin kame.
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;
Koe ari paurida, kasinenda, pwe i me I pwaraki dong uk, pwen kasapwil uk ada, pwe koe en papa o saunkadede men en meakan, me koe kilangada, o meakan, me I pan kapwara dong uk.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
O I pan dondoro sang uk ni pa en aramas akan o men liki kan me I pan kadar uk wei ong,
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.’
Pwen kapad pasang mas arail, pwe re en wuki sang rotorot, wuki ong marain, o sang ni manaman en Satan ong Kot, pwe re en lapwa sang dip ar akan, o ren ale ar soso ren me kamakelekele kidar poson.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Ari maing nanmarki Akripa, i sota sopeiki ong kasansal en nanlang o.
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.
Pwe mas i padaki ong toun Damaskus o Ierusalem, o sap en Iudäa kan, o men liki kan, en kalula o wuki ong Kot, o kapwaiada wan kalula mau.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Nan i me Sus akan saik ia kidi nan im en kaudok o, o re song kame ia la.
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,
Ari so, en Kot a kotin ieiang ia, me i mimieki lao lel ran wet, padapadaki me tikitik o me laud akan, o sota me i inda, i eta, me saukop akan o Moses pil masanier, me pan wiaui:
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.”
Ieteten, Kristus en kamekam, o me a pan men mas en me pan iasada sang ren me melar akan, o padaki ong toun wei o pil ong men liki kan duen marain o.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
A ni a kapung kila mepukat, pein i Pestus ap ngil laudeda masani: Paulus, koe iakalar! Om sukusukul toto me kapwepwe uk adar.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
A Paulus kotin masani: I sota iakalar maing isou Pestus, a i kin kida kasoi melel o pung.
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.
Pwe nanmarki kotin mangi duen mepukat; i me i pil aima padapadakieki ong i, pwe i asa, sota meakot, me a sota kotin ereki, pwe kaidin wasa rir, me mepukat wiauier.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Nanmarki Akripa, komui poson saukop akan? I asa, me komui kin poson.
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Akripa ap masani ong Paulus: Me tar kis, a komui pan kainong ong ia en saulangala.
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.”
Paulus masani: I ngongki ong Kot, me komui o karos, me rongerong ia ran wet, en dueta ngai, a iermen sal mata pot et.
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Nanmarki, o kopina, o Pernise, o me iang irail kaipokedi wasa o, ap kotida,
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
O kelepala, ap kapakaparok nan pung ar mamasani: Aramas men et sota kin wiada me war ong kamela de salidi.
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Akripa ap masani ong Pestus: Aramas men et pan lapwada, ma a sota dorolang Sisa.
