1“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”
1E NA kanaka, na hoahanan, a me na makua, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka'u olelo hoakaka ia oukou.
2When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared,
2(A lohe lakou i kana olelo ana mai ia lakou ma ka olelo Hebera, hooneoneo loa iho la lakou; a i mai la ia,)
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.
3He kanaka Iudaio no wau i hanauia ma Tareso i Kilikia, ma keia kulanakauhale nae au i hauaiia'i, ma na wawae o Gamaliela, ua aoia au mamuli o ke kanawai ikaika o na makua: ikaika loa no hoi au i ke Akua, e like me oukou i keia la.
4I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison,
4Hana ino aku au a make ko keia aoao, me ka paa aku i na kane a me na wahine, a me ka haawi ia lakou i na halepaahao.
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.
5Ua ike pono ke kahuna nui, a me ka papa a pau o na lunakahiko; na lakou ka'u palapala i loaa mai ai no na hoahanau, a hele au ma Damaseko, e lawe mai i ka poe paa malaila i Ierusalema, i hoopaiia lakou.
6About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
6A i ko'u hele ana a kokoke i Damaseko, i ke awakea, anapu koke mai la ka malamalama nui, mai ka lani mai, a puni au.
7I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
7A hina iho la au i ka lepo, a lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?
8‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied.
8I aku la au, E ka Haku e, owai oe? I mai la kela ia'u, O Iesu no wau no Nazareta, ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.
9My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me.
9A ike aku la ka poe me au i ka malamalama, a makau iho la; aole lakou i lohe i ka leo o ka mea i olelo mai ai ia'u.
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.’
10I aku la au, E ka Haku e, heaha ka'u e hana'i? I mai la ka Haku ia'u, E ku, a e hele i Damaseko, a malaila e haiia mai ai ia oe na mea a pau i hoomakaukauia'i nau e hana'i.
11Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus.
11A i ka hiki ole ana ia'u ke ike, no ka nani o ia malamalama, alakai lima ia'ku au e ko'u poe hoahele, a hiki i Dameseko.
12There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there,
12A o Anania, he kanaka haipule ma ke kanawai, i hoike pono ia e na Iudaio a pau i noho ilaila,
13came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him.
13Oia ka i hele mai ia'u, ku mai, i mai ia'u, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, e ike oe. Ia hora no ike aku la au ia ia.
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.
14I mai la ia, Ua koho mai ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna ia oe, i ike oe i kona makemake, a e ike aku hoi i ka Mea pono, a e lohe hoi i ka leo o kona waha.
15You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard.
15No ka mea, e lilo ana oe i mea hoike nona i kanaka a pau, ma na mea au i ike ai, a i lohe ai no hoi.
16And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’
16Ano hoi, e aha ana? E ku iluna, e bapetizoia, e holoi aku i kou hewa, a e hea aku i ka inoa o ka Haku.
17Later, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance
17A i ko'u hoi hou ana mai i Ierusalema nei, i ka'u pule ana maloko o ka luakini, loaa ia'u ka hihio;
18and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’
18A ike aku la au ia ia i ka i ana mai ia'u, E wiki oe, a e hele koke oe mawaho o Ierusalema nei; no ka mea, aole lakou nei e malama mai i ka mea au e hoike aku ai no'u.
19‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You.
19I aku la au, E ka Haku e, ua ike no lakou, owau no ka mea i hookomo iloko o ka halepaahao, a hahau aku la maloko o na halehalawai, i ka manaoio aku ia oe:
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.’
20A i hookaheia'i hoi ke koko o Setepano, o kou mea hoike, e ku ana no wau malaila me ka ae aku i kona make, a na'u no i malama ka aahu o ka poe i pepehi ia ia.
21Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
21I mai la kela ia'u, O hele; no ka mea, e hoouna aku ana au ia oe i kahi loihi aku, i ko na aina e.
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!”
22Hoolohe aku la lakou ia ia a hiki i keia hua, alaila hookiekie loa ae la lakou i ko lakou leo, i ae la, E kiola aku ia ia pela, mai ka honua aku; no ka mea, aole ia e pono ke ola.
23As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,
23I ko lakou kahea ana pela, hemo aku la lakou i ko lakou aahu, a kuehuehu aku la lakou i ka lepo iluna ma ka lewa;
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.
24Kauoha ae la ka lunatausani e kai ia ia iloko o ka pakaua, kauoha ae la, e hoopoipoi ia ia me ka hahau aku, i ike pono ia i ke kumu a lakou i uwauwa'i ia ia.
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?”
25Hikii iho la lakou ia ia i na kaula ill, i aku la o Paulo i kekahi lunahaneri e ku ana ilaila, He mea pono anei ke hahau oukou i ka Roma, me ka hooku ole mai i ka hala?
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.”
26A lohe ka lunahaneri, hele aku la ia a hai aku la i ka lunatausani, i aku la, Heaha kau e hana nei? no ka mea, he Roma keia.
27The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered.
27Alaila, hele mai la ka lunatausani, i mai la ia ia, E hai mai oe ia'u, he Roma anei oe? I aku la ia, Ae.
28“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.
28I mai la ua lunatausani la, He kumukuai nui ko'u i loaa mai ai ia'u keia kupa ana. I aku la o Paulo, Ua hanauia mai au, pela.
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.
29Nolaila haalele koke iho la ka poe hoopoipoi ia ia; a ike ka lunatausani, he Roma ia, makau iho la no ia, no kona hoopaa ana ia ia.
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.
30A ia la ae manao iho la ia e ike pono i kona mea i hoopiiia'i e na Iudaio, wehe ae la oia ia ia, a kauoha aku la i ua kahuna nui, a me ka ahalunakanawai a pau, e hele mai, a alakai mai la oia ia Paulo, a hooku iho la ia ia imua o lakou.
