1“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”
1LALAJE mañelo yan mañaena, jingog y dumefiendeyo pago guiya jamyo!
2When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared,
2(Ya anae majungog na mancuinentuse sija ni y fino Hebreo, ninafanmamatquilo mas;) ya ilegña:
3“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today.
3Guajo magajet taotao na Judio, mafañagon Tarso, un siuda guiya Silisia; lao mapogsaeyo güine na siuda gui adeng Gamaliel, mafanagüeyo taemanoja y minagajet y lay y mañaenata, ya eggoyo para as Yuus, taegüenao iya jamyo pago na jaane.
4I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,
4Ya jupetsigue sija gui este jinanao asta junafanmapuno, jugogode ya juentrerega gui catset y lalaje yan y famalaoan.
5as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.
5Ya parejoja y magas mamale locue numaeyo testimonio, yan todo y manada y manamco: guinin iya sija locue nae manresibeyo catta para y mañelo, ya jumanaoyo para Damasco, para jucone ayo sija ni y sinedajo güije ya jugode guato Jerusalem para ufanmasapet.
6About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
6Ya susede anae jumajanaoyo, ya esta jijotyo para Damasco gui taloane, enseguidas manina güije guinin y langet un dangculon candet gui oriyajo,
7I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
7Ya podongyo gui jilo tano, ya jujungog un inagang na ilegña nu guajo: Saulo, Saulo, sa jafa na unpetsisigueyo?
8‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied.
8Ya juope ilegco: Jayejao Señot? Ya ilegña nu güajo: Guajo si Jesus Nasareno ni y unpetsisigue.
9My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me.
9Ya ayo y mangachochongjo jalie magajet y candet, ya ninafanmaañao; lao ti jajungog y inagang ayo y cumuentuseyo.
10Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’
10Ya ilegco: Jafa jufatinas Señot? Ya y Señot ilegña nu guajo: Cajulo ya janao falag Damasco; ya ayonae umasangane todo güinaja ni y matancho para chechomo.
11Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.
11Ya anae ti siñayo manlie pot y minalag y candet, mapipetyo ni ayo sija y guinin mangachochongjo, ya maconeyo guato Damasco.
12There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,
12Ya si Ananias, un taotao na deboto jaftaemanoja y lay, ya guaja mauleg na testimonio para todo y Judios sija ni y mañasaga güije,
13came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.
13Mato guiya guajo, ya tumojgue, ya ilegña nu guajo: Chelujo Saulo, resibe y liniemo. Ya ayoja na ora nae juatan güe.
14Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear His voice.
14Ya ilegña: Y Yuus mañaenata umayegjao, na para untungo y minalagoña, ya unlie Ayo Tunas, yan unjungog y inagang y pachotña.
15You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
15Sa jago utestiguña todo gui taotao, jafa y liniemo yan y jiningogmo.
16And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’
16Ya pago jafa na sumasagajaoja? Cajulo ya unmatagpange, ya ufinagase y isaomo, agang y naanña.
17Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
17Ya susede anae tumaloyo guato Jerusalem, ya mientras mananaetaeyo gui templo, malingo y jinasoco,
18and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’
18Ya julie güe, ya ilegña nu guajo: Laguse, ya unjanao juyong Jerusalem; sa ti manmalago maresibe y testemoniumo pot guajo.
19‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.
19Ya ilegco: Señot, jatungoja sija na manpresoyo yan mañaulag gui cada sinagoga ni ayo sija y jumonggue jao;
20And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’
20Ya anae machuda y jâgâ Esteban ni y testigomo, estabajayo na tumotojgue gui oriya, ya jucousienteja y mapunoña, ya juadaje y magagon ayo sija y pumuno güe.
21Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
21Ya ilegña nu guajo: Janao; sa guajo tumagojao chago desde este para y Gentiles.
22The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!”
22Ya majungog güe asta este na sinangan, ya entonses jajatsa y inagangñija, ya ilegñija: Najanao ayo na taotao gui jilo tano, sa ti combiene na ulâlâ.
23As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
23Ya anae managang, yan jayute y magagonñija, ya manmanyute oda gui aire,
24the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him.
24Y magas inetnon jatago na umacone güe guato gui jalom castiyo, ya manago na umasaulag para umaegsamina, para utungo pot jafa causa na manaagang contra güiya.
25But as they stretched him out to strap him down, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to flog a Roman citizen without a trial?”
25Ya anae magode güe ni y coreas, ilegña si Pablo ni y senturion ni y tumotojgue gui oriya: Tunas para jago na unsaulag un taotao na Romano sin umacondena?
26On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.”
26Ya anae jajungog ayo y senturion, mapos ya jasangane y magas inetnon ilegña: Adaje jafa y unquequechogüe, sa este na taotao Romano.
27The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
27Ayonae y magas inetnon mato ya ilegña: Sanganeyo, jago Romano? Ya güiya ilegña: Junggan.
28“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
28Ya y magas inetnon manope ilegña: Pot y minegae salape na juchule este na linebre. Ya si Pablo ilegña: Lao guajo Romanoyo na finañago.
29Then those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains.
29Ayonae manjanao guiya güiya ayo sija y para umegsamina güe: ya y magas inetnon ninamaañao locue, despues di jatungo na Romano, sa güiya munamagode.
30The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
30Ya y inagpaña, malago na utungo magajet cao jafa na mafaaela güe ni y Judios, ya masotta gui mapresuña, ya manago na ufanmato y magas mamale, yan y mangachongña, ya macone papa si Pablo ya mapolo gui menañija.
