1Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer.
1Tokosra Agrippa el fahk nu sel Paul, “Inge kom ku in sifacna kaskas keim.” Paul el asroela paol ac mutawauk in fahkak kas in aksuwos lal ouinge:
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“Tokosra Agrippa! Nga arulana srui lah nga ku in sifacna loangeyu ye motom misenge liki kain kas nukewa ma mwet Jew uh elos akkolukyeyu kac —
3Especially as thou knowest all, both customs and questions that are among the Jews: Wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
3yokna mweyen kom arulana etu ouiyen moul lun mwet Jew, ac sramsram in alein lalos. Ke ma inge nga siyuk kom in mongfisrasr in porongeyu.
4And my life indeed from my youth, which was from the beginning among my own nation in Jerusalem, all the Jews do know:
4“Mwet Jew nukewa arulana etu ouiyen moul luk oe ke nga fusr me. Elos etu ma nga oru in facl sik ah meet, ac tok in Jerusalem.
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.
5Na elos funu engan in orek loh keik, elos lukun fahkak lah oemeet me nga sie sin mwet Pharisee — u se ma suwoswos emeet in akfalye ma sap ke alu lasr uh.
6And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment:
6Ac inge nga tu inse inge in nununkeyuk ke sripen finsrak se ma oasr sik ke wulela lun God nu sin mwet matu lasr somla —
7Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews.
7nuna finsrak se na ma sruf singoul luo lun mwet lasr uh finsrak nu kac ke elos alu nu sin God ke len ac fong. O Tokosra, finsrak se inge pa oru mwet Jew elos tukakinyuyak uh!
8Why should it be thought a thing incredible, that God should raise the dead?
8Efu ku kowos su oasr inse inge kofla lulalfongi lah God El akmoulyauk mwet misa uh?
9And I indeed did formerly think, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
9“Nga sifacna, nga tuh nunku mu nga ac oru kuiyuk nufon in lain Jesus lun Nazareth.
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.
10Pa inge ma nga tuh oru in acn Jerusalem. Nga tuh eis ku luk sin mwet tol fulat, ac kaliya mwet lun God puspis in presin; ac ke pacl wotla mu ac anwuki elos, nga wi pac akkeye.
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.
11Pacl puspis nga sap akkeokyeyuk elos in iwen lolngok uh, ac nga srike in oru elos in lafwekin lulalfongi lalos. Nga tuh arulana kasrkusrak selos, oru nga som pac nwe in siti ke mutunfacl saya in kaprelosi.
12Whereupon when I was going to Damascus with authority and permission of the chief priest,
12“Sripa se pacna inge pa nga tuh som nu Damascus kac, wi sap ku ac lela sin mwet tol fulat.
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.
13O Tokosra, nga tuh fahsr inkanek uh ke infulwen len, ke nga liye sie kalem — saromrom liki faht uh — sarmelik lucng me ac sreyuwi ac oayapa mwet ma wiyu ah.
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.
14Kut nukewa putati nu infohk uh, ac nga lohng sie pusra fahk nu sik in kas Hebrew, ‘Saul, Saul! Efu ku kom kalyeiyu? Ke kom lainyu kom sifacna oru kom ngalyak, oana soko kosro ox ma futungya sak kosroh inpoun mwet kifasul uh.’
15And I said: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord answered: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
15Na nga siyuk, ‘Leum, su kom an?’ Ac Leum el fahk, ‘Nga pa Jesus, su kom kalyei.
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,
16Tuyak. Nga sikme nu sum in srisrngikomi tuh kom in mwet kulansap luk. Kom ac fah fahkak nu sin mwet uh ma kom liye misenge, ac ma su nga ac fah akkalemye nu sum tok.
17Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee:
17Nga fah molikomla liki inpoun mwet Israel, ac liki inpoun mwet sayen mwet Jew su nga ac supwekomla nu yorolos.
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.
18Kom ac fah ikasla mutalos ac furokolosla liki lohsr nu ke kalem, ac liki ku lal Satan nu sin God, tuh ke lulalfongi lalos in nga ma koluk lalos uh fah nunak munas nu selos, ac elos fah eis acn selos inmasrlon mwet sulosolla lun God.’
19Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not incredulous to the heavenly vision:
19“Ke ma inge, Tokosra Agrippa, nga tiana seakos aruruma se ma sikyak nu sik inkusrao me ah.
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.
20Nga fahkak nu sin mwet in Damascus meet, ac in Jerusalem, na in facl Judea nufon, oayapa inmasrlon mwet sayen mwet Jew, tuh elos in auliyak liki ma koluk lalos ac forla nu sin God, ac oru ma su ac akpwayei lah elos auliyak.
21For this cause the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me.
21Sripa se inge oru mwet Jew elos sruokyuwi ke nga muta in Tempul ah, ac elos srike in uniyuwi.
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:
22Tusruktu God El kasreyu na nwe misenge, ouinge nga tu inse inge ac orek loh keik sifacna nu sin mwet nukewa, mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel oana sie. Ma nga fahk uh oapana ma mwet palu ac Moses tuh fahk mu ac sikyak:
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.
23lah Christ el ac keok, ac el pa mwet se oemeet ma ac moulyak liki misa, in fahkak ke kalem lun molela nu sin mwet Jew, oayapa mwet sayen mwet Jew.”
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.
24Ke Paul el fahk ma inge in sifacna loangel, Festus el woilya ac fahk, “Paul, kom wel! Lupan lutlut lom an oru kom wella!”
25And Paul said: I am not mad, most excellent Festus, but I speak words of truth and soberness.
25Ac Paul el fahk, “O Festus Fulatlana, nga tia wel! Ma na pwaye pa nga fahk uh.
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.
26Tokosra Agrippa! Nga arulana pulaik in kaskas nu sum, mweyen yohk etu lom ke ma inge. Nga lulalfongi mu kom akilen ma inge nukewa, mweyen tia lukmaiyuk insruwasrik uh.
27Believest thou the prophets, O king Agrippa? I know that thou believest.
27Tokosra Agrippa, ku kom lulalfongi kas lun mwet palu ah? Nga etu lah kom lulalfongi!”
28And Agrippa said to Paul: In a little thou persuadest me to become a Christian.
28Na Agrippa el fahk nu sel Paul, “Mea, kom nunku in furokyula nu ke moul in Christian ke kitin pacl na?”
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.
29Na Paul el fahk, “Finne kitin pacl na, ku pacl loes se, nga pre nu sin God lah kom, ac mwet nukewa ingan su lohng ma nga fahk uh, in ekla oana nga — sayen mwe kapir keik inge!”
30And the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them.
30Na Tokosra Agrippa, Governor Festus ac Bernice ac mwet nukewa saya elos tuyak,
31And when they were gone aside, they spoke among themselves, saying: This man hath done nothing worthy of death or of bands.
31ac ke elos illa, elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Wanginna ma mwet se inge orala su fal elan misa kac, ku elan kapir kac in presin.”
32And Agrippa said to Festus: This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed to Caesar.
32Na Agrippa el fahk nu sel Festus, “Funu mwet se inge tia ngisre in nununkeyuk sel Tokosra Fulat Rome, lukun el taltalla.”
