1Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and began his defense:
1A LAILA olelo mai la o Ageripa ia Paulo, Ke aeia'ku nei ia oe e olelo mai nou iho. Hohola ae la o Paulo i kona lima, olelo mai la nona iho;
2“King Agrippa, I consider myself fortunate to stand before you today to defend myself against all the accusations of the Jews,
2Pomaikai au i ko'u manao, e ke alii, o Ageripa e, no ka mea, e hoakaka ana au imua ou i keia la, no na mea a pau a'u i hoopiiia mai nei e na Iudaio:
3especially since you are acquainted with all the Jewish customs and controversies. I beg you, therefore, to listen to me patiently.
3No ka mea, ua ike no oe i na aoao, a me na mea hoopaapaa a pau o na Iudaio; nolaila, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hoolohe ahonui mai ia'u.
4Surely all the Jews know how I have lived from the earliest days of my youth, among my own people and in Jerusalem.
4O ko'u noho ana, mai ko'u wa uuku mai, aia ia mai kinohi mai ma Ierusalema iwaena o kou lahuiaina iho, ua ike na Iudaio a pau;
5They have known me for a long time and can testify, if they are willing, that I lived as a Pharisee, adhering to the strictest sect of our religion.
5Ka poe i ike mai ia'u i kinohou, ina i ake lakou e hoike mai, noho Parisaio no wau ma ka aoao ikaika loa o ko makou hoomana.
6And now I stand on trial because of my hope in the promise that God made to our fathers,
6Ke ku nei no au, ua hookolokoloia mai nei no hoi, no ka manaolana o ka olelo hoopomaikai a ke Akua i olelo mai ai i ko makou mau kupuna.
7the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to realize as they earnestly serve God day and night. It is because of this hope, O king, that I am accused by the Jews.
7Ke manaolana nei no hoi ko makou poe ohana, he umi a me kumamalua, e loaa ia mea, me ka malama mau aku i ka po a me ke ao; no ia manaolana o'u, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, ua hoopiiia mai noi au e na Iudaio.
8Why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?
8No ke aha la oukou i manao ai ho mea hiki ole i ke Akua ke hoala mai i ka poe make?
9So then, I too was convinced that I ought to do all I could to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9Nolaila, manao no au iloko o'u iho, he mea pono ia'u ke hana i na mea he nui i ku e i ka inoa o Iesn no Nazareta.
10And that is what I did in Jerusalem. With authority from the chief priests I put many of the saints in prison, and when they were condemned to death, I cast my vote against them.
10Hana no au ia mau mea ma Ierusalema; hana paa iho la au i na haipule he nui maloko o na halepaahao, ua loaa no ia'u ka mana no ka poe kahuna nui; a ia lakou i pepehiia, owau no kekahi i hoahewa pu aku la lakou.
11I frequently had them punished in the synagogues, and I tried to make them blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.
11Hoopai pinepine aku la au ia lakou maloko o na halehalawai a pau, a koi aku la au ia lakou e olelo hoino; a no ko'u ukiuki loa ia lakou, hoomaau aku la au ia lakou a hiki i na kulanakauhale o na aina e.
12In this pursuit I was on my way to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests.
12No ia mau mea i hele ai au i Damaseko, me ka mana a me ke aeia na na kahuna nui mai,
13About noon, O king, as I was on the road, I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and my companions.
13I ke awakea, e ke alii e, ike aku la au ma ke alanui, he malamalama mai ka lani mai, he mea oi loa aku mamua o ka malamalama o ka la, ua puni au i ka malamalama, a me ka poe i hele pu me au.
14We all fell to the ground, and I heard a voice say to me in Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
14A hina makou a pau i ka honua, lohe aku la au i ka leo, i ka i ana mai ia'u, i mai la ma ka olelo Hebera, E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u? He mea eha nou ke keehi mai i na kui.
15‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied.
15I aku la au, Owai oe, e ka Haku? I mai la kela, o Iesu no wau, o ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei.
16‘But get up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen from Me and what I will show you.
16Aka, e ala hoi oe, a e ku iluna ma na wawae ou; no ka mea, ua ikea au ia oe, no keia mea, e hoolilo ana au ia oe i lawehana, a i mea hoike aku i keia mea au i ike iho nei, a me na mea a'u e hoike hou aku ai nau.
17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them
17Na'u no oe e hoopakele i kanaka a me ko na aina e; e hoouna aku ana no au ia oe io lakou la,
18to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’
18E hookaakaa'i i ko lakou mau maka, a e hoohuli ia lakou, mai ka pouli mai i ka malamalama, a mai ka mana o Satana i ke Akua, i loaa ia lakou ke kala ana o ka hala, a me ka hooilina mawaena o ka poe i hoomaemaeia e ka manaoio mai ia'u.
19So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.
19Nolaila, e ke alii, e Ageripa e, aole au i hoole aku ia hoakaku, mai ka lani mai.
20First to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, then to everyone in the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I declared that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds worthy of their repentance.
20Aka, hoike mua aku la au ia lakou ma Damaseko, a ma Ierusalema, a ma na mokuna a pau ma Iudea, a i ko na aina e, i mihi lakou, a e huli i ke Akua, a e hana i na hana e ku i ka mihi.
21For this reason the Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me.
21No keia mau mea, lalau mai na Iudaio ia'u maloko o ka luakini, hoao mai la lakou e pepehi mai ia'u a make.
22But I have had God’s help to this day, and I stand here to testify to small and great alike. I am saying nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses said would happen:
22No ke kokua ana mai o ke Akua ia'u, ua ku paa no wan, a hiki mai nei i keia la, e hoike ana aku i ka poe liilii, a me ka poe nui, i ka i ana aku i keia mau mea wale no, i na mea a ka poe kaula, a me Mose no hoi i olelo mai ai, e hiki mai ana:
23that the Christ would suffer, and as the first to rise from the dead, would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”
23E make no ka Mesia e pono ai, oia hoi ka mua o ka poe make i ala hou mai, nana no e hoike aku i ka malamalama i ko onei kanaka, a me ko na aina e.
24At this stage of Paul’s defense, Festus exclaimed in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Your great learning is driving you to madness!”
24A i kana hoakaka ana pela i kona iho, i ae la o Peseto me ka leo nui, E Paulo, ua hehena oe; na na palapala he nui oe i hoolilo ai i hehena.
25But Paul answered, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus; I am speaking words of truth and sobriety.
25I aku la ia, Aole au hehena, e Peseto maikai e, aka, ke olelo aku nei au i na olelo oiaio a me ka naauao.
26For the king knows about these matters, and I can speak freely to him. I am confident that none of this has escaped his notice, because it was not done in a corner.
26Ua ike no hoi ke alii i keia mea, ke olelo wiwo ole aku nei au imua o kona alo; no ka mea, ke manao nei au aole i nalo ia ia kekahi o keia mau mea, no ka mea, aole i hanaia keia ma kahi nalo.
27King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”
27E ke alii, e Ageripa e, ke manaoio mai nei anei oe i ka na kaula! Ua ike no au, ua manaoio no oe.
28Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Can you persuade me in such a short time to become a Christian?”
28Olelo aku la o Ageripa ia Paulo, Ua aneane oe e hoohuli mai ia'u i Kristiano.
29“Short time or long,” Paul replied, “I wish to God that not only you but all who hear me this day may become what I am, except for these chains.”
29I mai la o Paulo, Ke pule nei au i ke Akua, i ole oe ma ka aneane wale no, aka, ma ka oiaio e lilo ai oe, a me ka poe a pau e hoolohe mai ia'u i keia la, i mea e like io ai me au nei, ma na mea a pau, o keia paa wale no ke koe.
30Then the king and the governor rose, along with Bernice and those seated with them.
30A ku ae la ke alii iluna, a me ke alii kiaaina, a me Berenike, a me ka poe e noho pu ana me lakou.
31On their way out, they said to one another, “This man has done nothing worthy of death or imprisonment.”
31I ko lakou hoi ana'ku, kamailio ae la lakou ia lakou iho no, i ae la, Aole i hana keia kanaka i ka mea ku i ka make a me ka paa.
32And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
32I ae la o Ageripa ia Peseto, Ina aole keia kanaka i hoopii ia Kaisara, ina ua pono ke wehe ia ia.
