Acts 26
1 Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.
Agrippa Paulnyi mintoku, “No atuv atubogv lvkwng lo minsu tvka nam dwa jidukunv.” Vbvrinamv Paul laakv iyinla okv atubongv mvngging sula vbv mintoku:
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,
“Dvbv Agrippa! ngo silu atubongv gamdak nvgobv mvngsudunv ho ngo atuv noogv kaagialo mvngging sula Jius vdwgv nga gungnying lwknam lokv,
3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
no Jius mvnwng gv ridungsingdung nga jvjvbv chirungdo okv yalungyachung nga. Ngo nam lvbu doonv, vbvrikunamv, nga tapvbv tvvriato.
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;
“Jius mvnwng ngv chinto oguaingbv ngo singpvdw yaapa rilo gv singcha nama. Bunu chinto oguaingbv ngoogv singyisingcha nga singcha pvkudw atubogv diringmooku lo okv Jerusalem loku.
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.
Bunu chinbwng nyadu, um bunu vdwv mvnggv ila milare, ngo ho atuk lokv achialvbv riming gvvdu ngonugv kumnam Parisis dormo nga.
6 Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,
Okv vjak ngo si dootola gwngkw dunv ogulvgavbolo ngonugv abuapa vdwa milv nama ngo mvngtinla—
7 which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!
alv rungnv hoka vringgola anyi haalung gv ngonugv nyi vdwv paare vla mvngtinto, bunugv Pwknvyarnvnyi ariumarubv kumnam lokv. Okv si ogulvgavbolo so mvngtin kolo, ho Dvbv Agrippa, nga Jius vdwv ho rinyingriru nyato.
8 Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?
Ogubv nonu mvnwng ngv sum mvngjwngmanv gobv ridunv Pwknvyarnv sinam lokv turdu kunv vla?
9 “I myself most certainly thought that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
“Ngooka achialvbv mvngtoku ngo ogumvnwng nga gungnying milwk torungto Jisu Najaretnyi.
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.
Vkvlvgabv Jerusalem lo ngo ritoku. Ngo Nyibu butv gvlo paatoku gwlwk am okv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwa awgo patwk lo tumlwkto: okv vdwlo bunua mvki pvkudw ngooka mvnglwk minggvto.
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.
Achialv dwgo ngo bunua mvritririt motoku Jius kumkunaamlo okv bunua atugv mvngjwng am mvngnwng madubv gwngkwto. Ngo ho achialvbv haachi toku bunua ngo nyebumooku pamtv loka vngtoku bunua mvdwmvku dubv.
12 “Whereupon as I traveled to Damascus with the authority and commission from the chief priests,
“Ngo sikv lvkwng bv ho Nyibu Butv gv orto jinam lokv okv Damaskas bv tujupkunam gv lvkobv vngtoku.
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.
Ho Dvbv Agrippa nga, ho lamtv alulvpa hoka, ngo loung go kaapato doonyi loung aka hongya nvgo, nyidokolo lokv nga hongyumto okv nga lvkobv vnggvnv nyi vdwaka.
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.’
Ngonu mvnwng ngv gipv toku kvdwlo, okv ngo tvvpa toku adugo nga Hebru gaambv minvgo, ‘Sol, Sol! no nga ogubv mvdwkmvku doonv? No atubongv achi dubv mvkur sudu noogv mvnam lokv, Svv hvpu ngv soonv atugv singkio nga dusunv aingbv.’
15 “I said, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ “He said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
‘No yvvla Ahtu?’ Ngo tvvka toku. Okv Ahtu mirwk sito, ‘Ngo Jisu, ho noogv mvdwmvku kunam.
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;
Vbvritola godung lakuk okv noogv lvpa lokv dakto. Ngo noogv dooku si aapvnv nam ngoogv pakbu gobv mvdubv. No kvvbi ngaka mimpa laka ogugo kaapvdw silu ngokvlo okv ngo nam ogugo kaatam rikudw aarinv dw lo.
17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you,
Ngo nam ringriare Israel gv nyi vdwlokv okv Jentail lokv, ngo bunu gvlo nam vngmure.
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.’
No bunugv nyik am nyikpo molaka okv kanvparum lokv pualo limu lakuka okv Uyudvbv gv gwlwk lokv Pwknvyarnv gvloku, vkvlvgabv bunugv nga mvngjwng lokv bunugv rimur am mvngnga jiriku okv Pwknvyarnv gv darkunam nyi vdwa lvkobv bunugv dookudakku am naarwk siriku.’
19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
“Dvbv Agrippa, ngo nyidomooku nyikrw kaanama tvvmabv rimato.
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.
Ahtua Damaskas lo okv Jerusalem lo okv Judia mvnwng lokv, okv Jentail vdwlo ngo tamsarto bunu mvnwng nga bunugv rimur lokv mvngdin dokubv okv Pwknvyarnv lo aakur dukubv okv ogugo ripvdw um kaatam riku bunu mvngdin pvku vla.
21 For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me.
Si svkvlvkwngbv Jius vdwv nga naatungto vdwlo ngo Pwknvyarnvnaam lo doori lo okv bunu nga mvki dubv gwngnyato.
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,
Vbvritola sibv riri alu lo Pwknvyarnv nga ridur toku, okv Vkvlvkwngbv ngo si daktola mvnwng nga kaatam doonv jvjv nga, kai dvlo okv miang dvlo. Ngoogv ogugo mimpvdw lvyin akindu nyijwk am okv Moses gv minamv rirung duku:
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.”
Kristo ho hinching rungre okv atukchochuk bv hv sinam lokv turkur riku, dupwng riku loung gv turnama Jius okv Jentail vdwlo.”
24 As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”
Paul atubongv sibv miring sitoku, Pestas ninyia gokto, “No siru dooku, Paul! Noogv kaibv chinamv nam siru mopvku!”
25 But he said, “I am not crazy, most excellent Festus, but boldly declare words of truth and reasonableness.
Paul mirwk sitoku, “Ngo siruma, noogv kairungnv! ngo jvjvrungbv mindunv.
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.
Dvbv Agrippa! ngo nam mvngrw alvbv milare, ogulvgavbolo no so lvkwngbv chindu ngo mvngrungdo no bunu mvnwng nga chimpv kunvpv, ogulvgavbolo si chvnyung baarwnglo rinam kaama.
27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”
Dvbv Agrippa, no nyijwk nga mvngjwng dunvre? Ngo chindo no mvngjwngdu!”
28 Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?”
Agrippa Paulnyi minto, “Soogv dw achuklo no nga kristan mvdubv mvngdunvre?”
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.”
“Dw v achuk jvka vmalo awjvka,” Paul mirwksito, “Ngoogv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumdunv si no okv mvnwng ngv yvvbunudw ngam silu tvvria dunv ngo jvbv—riming gvvre, rvngja mvngchik ka gvvmare!”
30 The king rose up with the governor and Bernice, and those who sat with them.
Vbvrinamv Dvbv, gobunor, Barnis, okv kvvbi mvnwng vka dakrap toku,
31 When they had withdrawn, they spoke to one another, saying, “This man does nothing worthy of death or of bonds.”
okv vngrokochingbv bunu ajinanying am mimisitoku, “So nyi angv sum ninyia mvki dubv vmalo patwk lo tumdubv ogu rinam jego kaama.”
32 Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Okv Agrippa Pestasnyi minto, “So nyi sum topu pvkunvpv vdwlo hv Dvbvyachok am dinchi rungbv lvbu manv guilo.”
