1Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
1Paul te Agrippa loh, “Namah kawng na thui thai coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah Paul loh kut a yueng tih,
2I think myself happy, O king Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews.
2“Manghai Agrippa, Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh kawng boeih dongah tihnin kah namah hmaiah huul uh ham ka cai he yoethen la ka poek.
3Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
3Olpuei la Namah khaw Judah rhoek kah khosing neh oldawtnah boeih aka ming la na om. Ka ol he vawlhvawlh na hnatun ham kam bih.
4And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
4A tongcuek lamloh ka namtu taengah ka om tih Jerusalem ah ka camoe lamkah ka om ka ih khaw Judah rhoek loh boeih a ming uh.
5Having known me from the beginning (if they will give testimony) that according to the most sure sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
5Bawknah khuiah kaimih kah buhlaelh he a cuep kahlik vanbangla Pharisee pakhat la ka hing te, phong sak ham ngaih uh cakhaw kai he m'ming uh hlaai coeng.
6And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
6Tahae ah he Pathen loh a khueh olkhueh, a pa rhoek taengkah ngaiuepnah dongah ka pai nen ni lai n'tloek thil.
7Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
7Kamah pacaphung loh khoyin khothaih thahluenah neh a bawk tih pha hamla a ngaiuep. Manghai aw, te ngaiuepnah kawng dongah ni Judah rhoek loh n'tingtoeh.
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
8Pathen loh aka duek a thoh coeng atah ba dongah lae nangmih loh aka tangnahmueh bangla lai na tloek uh.
9And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9Kai kamah khaw Nazareth Jesuh ming te a kingkalh la muep saii thil ham a kuek tila kana poek thil van.
10Which also I did at Jerusalem, and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority of the chief priests: and when they were put to death, I brought the sentence.
10Jerusalem ah khaw ka saii tih, khosoihham rhoek taengkah saithainah ka dang dongah hlangcim te yet te thongim ah kamah loh ka uup coeng. Amih aka ngawn rhoek kah lungcang khaw ka kuk coeng.
11And oftentimes punishing them, in every synagogue, I compelled them to blaspheme: and being yet more mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
11Tunim takuem ah khaw amih te tholhphu ka paek taitu tih, soehsal ham khaw ka tanolh coeng. Te vaengah taoe ka angsai tih kho voel duela amih te ka hnaemtaek.
12Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
12Khosoihham rhoek kah saithainah, kotluepnah neh Damasku la ka cet.
13At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me, and them that were in company with me.
13Manghai aw, longpuei kah khothun lung ah, vaan khomik kah a aa aka poe vangnah loh kamah neh ka taengkah aka cet hmaih rhoek te phuk n'tue te ka hmuh.
14And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad.
14Diklai la boeih ka bung uh vaengah ol pakhat ka yaak tih Hebrew ol la kai taengah, “ Saul, Saul, ba ham lae kai nan hnaemtaek, suehling thuih ham te na mangkhak aih mai,” a ti.
15And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
15Te vaengah kamah loh u nang nim ca Boeipa,” ka ti nah. Te dongah Boeipa loh, ' Kai tah nang loh na hnaemtaek Jesuh ni .
16But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee,
16Tedae thoo lamtah namah kho dongah pai laeh. Kai taengla na moe tih nang taengla ka moe van vaengkah tueihyoeih neh laipai la nang coelh ham ni nang taengah ka phoe .
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
17Pilnam neh namtom kut lamkah nang aka hlawt, kamah long ni amih mik dai sak ham ,
18To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me.
18yinnah lamkah vangnah la, Satan kah saithainah lamloh Pathen taengla bal puei ham, amih te tholh khodawkngainah, kai dongah tangnah neh a ciim tangtae rhoek taengah hmulung dang sak ham amih taengla nang kan tueih ,’ a ti.
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
19Te dongah manghai Agrippa aw, vaan mangthui te aka lokhak la ka om moenih.
20But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance.
20Tedae lamhma la Damasku ah, te phoeiah Jerusalem, Judea paeng pum neh namtom rhoek taengah khaw tholh yut tih Pathen taengla mael sak ham, yutnah neh a tingtawk la khoboe hlawt ham ni ka puen pah.
21For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
21Te dongah ni bawkim khuiah aka om kai he Judah rhoek loh n'tuuk tih ngawn ham m'moeh uh.
22But being aided by the help of God, I stand unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other thing than those which the prophets, and Moses did say should come to pass:
22Tedae Pathen taengkah bomnah ka dang dongah ni tihnin due tanoe kangham taengah ka pai tih ka laipai. Hmailong ah om hamla cai tih tonghma rhoek neh Moses loh a thui te a pueh la ka thui moenih.
23That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light to the people, and to the Gentiles.
23Khrih loh patang cakhaw, pilnam neh namtom taengah vangnah te doek ham a cai dongah aka duek khuiah thohkoepnah loh a lamhma sak,” a ti nah.
24As he spoke these things, and made his answer, Festus said with a loud voice: Paul, thou art beside thyself: much learning doth make thee mad.
24Te nen te a huul uh dongah Phesto loh ol ue neh, “Paul, na ang coeng, na cabu cungkuem loh lutlatnah la m'vil coeng,” a ti nah.
25And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
25Tedae Paul loh, “Hlangcong Phesto aw ka ang moenih, oltak neh cuepmueihnah ol ni ka thui.
26For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner.
26He kawng he manghai loh a ming coeng dongah amah taengah khaw sayalh la ka thui. Anih ham pakhat khaw ka phah tih ka rhoih pawt moenih. Congket kah aka om khaw a saii mai he.
27Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
27Manghai Agrippa, tonghma rhoek ke na tangnah a? Na tangnah te ka ming,” a ti nah.
28And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
28Te vaengah Paul te Agrippa loh, “Khrihca la saii ham kai khaw rhaih nan yoek coeng he,” a ti nah.
29And Paul said: I would to God, that both in a little and in much, not only thou, but also all that hear me, this day, should become such as I also am, except these bands.
29Tedae Paul loh, “Nang bueng pawt tih tihnin kah kai ol aka hnatun rhoek boeih he khaw hloong kah a voel ah he kamah ka om bangla metlam a om poek eh tite Pathen taengah a toi a sen la ka thangthui,” a ti nah.
30And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
30Te vaengah manghai khaw, khoboei khaw, Bernike khaw, amih taengkah aka ngol rhoek khaw boeih thoo uh.
31And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
31A khoe uh phoeiah tah pakhat pakhat taengah thui uh thae tih, “Hekah hlang loh a saii he pakhat pataeng dueknah nen khaw, hloong nen khaw a tiing moenih,” a ti uh.
32And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
32Te dongah Agrippa loh Phesto taengah, “Hekah hlang loh Kaisar te pha voel pawt cakhaw hlah hamla coeng thai,” a ti nah.
