Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Agrippa'n Paul kôma, “Ni dikna thurchi misîr thei rangin phal ni nih,” a tipea. Paul'n a kut a phara a dikna thurchi, hi anghin a misîra:
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,
“Rêng Agrippa! Judangei min nônna murdia ki dikna thurchi avien hin no kôm ki misîr rang sikin asân ka râlvân asa okin ki riet,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
mahin, Judangei balam le ânjêlna omngei murdi ni riet minthâr sikin rangâihoitakin ko chong hi ni lei rangâi pe rangin nang ko hong ngên ani.
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;
“Judangei murdi'n nâipang ka chang lâia ko omlam le ku nunchan, motona kin rama, masuole Jerusalema khom an rêngin an riet.
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.
An misîr nuom ngânin chu, ku thurchi hi aphut renga an riet let, ei sakhuo tienga pâl inngartak Pharisee ngei lâia ke lei omngei hah.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Male atûn ei richibulngei kôm Pathien chong a lei khâmsai hah sabeina sikin hima mun hin kên ding ani.
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
Ma chonginkhâm sika han ei jât sômleinik ngeiin sûn le jânin Pathien chubai an lei mûk ngâi ani, male ma sabeina sika han Pumapa, hima sikin kêng Judangei hin min nôn ani.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Pathien'n mithi a kaithoi ngei thei ani, tiin hi taka omngei hin ithomo nin iem theiloi?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Keima nanâk khom hih Nazareth Jisua riming doiin neinunngei murdi tho ngâi ke lei ni.
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.
Maha Jerusalema ke lei tho ngâi. Ochaisingei renga rachamneina ngei ka mana, male Pathien mingei tamtak intângna ina ke lei khum ngâi; male that rang an ti zora khomin, asa ke lei ti pui ngei ngâi.
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.
Synagogngeia khom voi tamtak dûk ke lei mintong ngei ngâi, an taksônna ngei min mâk rangin ke lei pût ngâia, ka takasi rei sikin ram dang khopuilienngei khom ku nunuom lo rangin ke se ngâi.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
“Ma rang sik piel han ochaisingei renga rachamneina le phalna chôiin Damascus khuoa ke sea.
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.
Pu Mirit-omtak, lampuia ke se lâitak sûnchimripa, O Rêngpa, invân renga juong vâr, nisa nêka vâr uol hah, keima le ka champuingei revêla hin ajuong êl ku mua.
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.’
Kin rêngin nuoia kin inleta, male Hebrew chongin ‘Saul, Saul! ithomo nangman nu nunuom mini loa? Nangmananâk kêng nang minna rang, serâtchalin a pumapa tôkmola doiin athâi anghan’ kêng ani rang.
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Keiman, ‘Puma tumo ni ni?’ tiin ke rekela, male Pumapa han, ‘Keima hih Jisua, dûk ni mintong bângpu hah ki ni, tiin a thuona.
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;
Aniatachu, inthoi inla ne ke leh inding roh, ki sinthopua nang phun rangin no kôm ku juong inlâr ani. Avien sûna keima renga nu mu ngei le sûnmoton tienga nang ki min mu rang ngei murdi hi midangngei khom ril roh.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Israelngei le Jentailngei renga nang kêlsuo ki tih, nang ki tîrna rang ngei kôm renga.
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.’
An mitngei minvâr pe ngei na ta, hanchu ijîng renga avâr tieng hong inhei an ta, soitan kut renga Pathien tieng hong inhei an tih, masikin ku chunga taksônna an dôn sika an sietnangei ngâidam an changna rang le Pathien mi thang ngei lâia mun an manna rangin.’ a tia.
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“Male, Rêng Agrippa, invân renga inlârna ku mu jômloiin tho mu-ung.
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.
Motontaka Damascus sûnga male Jerusalem sûnga male chu Judea ram murdi le Jentailngei lâia khom, an sietnangei renga insîrin, male Pathien tieng an nin hei zoi ti riet theina rangin thurchi ki misîr pe ngâi ani.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Masik taka han hi Judangei Biekin sûnga ko om han min sûra, male ma that rang an pût ani.
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,
Aniatachu avien sûnten hin Pathien'n ni sana, male mi chîn le mi lien ngei kôm indingin rietpuipu nina hih nin rêngin nin kôm ka la misîr thei ani, ki ti ngâi ngei chu, Moses le dêipungeiin la juong tung atih, an ti bang ngâi hah ani:
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.”
Messiah han dûktong ngêt a ta, male thina renga inthoinôk masatak nîng atih, Sanminringna vâr thurchi Judangei le Jentialngei kôm muphuong atih,” a tia.
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Ma anghan, Paul'n a dikna thurchi a misîr lâitakin, Festus hah a hong hêtsana, “Paul, na châng ke ani zoi! nên chu mintam rei sikin na châng zoi!” a tia.
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Paul'n, châng mu-ung, Festus mirit omtak hangvangin adiktak ki misîr ani.
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.
Rêng Agrippa! hâitakin no kôm ko chong thei, hi neinunngei chungroi hih ni riet sikin, hi thurchi hih inkila tho nimaka a kôm hin ite ip rang ommak ti ki riet mindik ani.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
“Rêng Agrippa dêipungei ni iem mo? ni iem ti ki riet ani!”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Agrippa han Paul kôm, ma zora bongte sûng hin Khristien mi min chang rang no bôk mini? a tia.
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.”
Paul'n, “zora bongtên mo, aseiin mo, nangma vai nang ti mu unga, avien sûna ko chong rangâi ngei murdi hih keima anga om rangin Pathien kôm ke ngên bang ngâi hi zingjirûi hi chu bun uol loi rangin!” tiin athuona.
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Hanchu Rêng, le Râiôt, le Bernice, le adangngei murdi an inthoi leta,
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
Male an mâk suole anni le anni a nin tia, “Hima miriem hin a thina rang dôra le intângna ina khum rang dôra minchâina dôn mak.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Male Agrippa han Festus kôm, “Hi miriem hin Caesar kôm tung rangin lei inzong no rese chu, ma reng hin mojôk thei rang piel ani,” a tia.
