¹Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:

¹Oti toe, na'uli' Agripa hi Paulus: "Rapalogai-moko-kowo mololita, mpo'uli' noa' -nu." Paulus mpo'ongko' pale-na, pai' -i mpo'uli' noa' -na. Lolita-na hewa tohe'i:

²I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:

²"Magau' Agripa to kubila'! Lomo' -lomo' -na ku'uli', morasi' lia-a, ma'ala-a-kuwo mpo'uli' noa' -ku hi Magau', mpotompoi' hawe'ea pangadua' to Yahudi hi aku'.

³Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.

³Hangkedia' -nami apa' Magau' mpo'inca lia ada pai' tudui' to rapomehonoi' to Yahudi. Toe pai' merapi' -a-kuwo bona mosabara-ko mpe'epei-ka-kuwo noa' -ku.

⁴My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;

⁴"Hawe'ea to Yahudi mpo'inca omea dala ngkatuwu' -ku ngkai lomo' -na. Ngkai kakedia' -ku mo'oha' -a dohe ompi' -ku hi Yerusalem.

⁵Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.

⁵Mahae moto-mile ra'inca gau' -kue. Ane dota-ra, hira' moto ma'ala mpotutura dala ngkatuwu' -ku ngkai lomo' -na, ka'aku' -na tohe'i mpotuku' tudui' to Parisi, to mantata' mpu'u petuku' -ra hi hawe'ea ada agama Yahudi.

⁶And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:

⁸Jadi', hewa toe lau, mokore-a hi rehe'i bona raparesa', apa' kusarumaka Alata'ala mpopadupa' janci-na hi ntu'a-ta owi to mpo'uli': hawe'ea tomate napotuwu' nculii' hi eo mpeno. Kita' muli Israel to hampulu' rontina, hawe'ea-ta mpopea kadupa' -na pojanci toe, toe pai' mepue' ncuu-ta hi Alata'ala, lompe' hi eo-na lompe' hi bengi-na. Magau' to kubila', ngkai pepangala' -ku hi pojanci Alata'ala toe-die, pai' alaa-na rapakilu-a to Yahudi toi-e. Pai' koi' ompi' -ompi' -ku to Yahudi! Napa-di pai' uma nipangalai' kabaraka' -na Alata'ala mpotuwu' nculii' tomate-e?

⁷Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

⁹"Owi wo'o-kuwo-le, wori' nyala akala-ku mpo'ewa tauna to mpotuku' Yesus to Nazaret toei.

⁸Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?

¹⁰Hiaa' ku'ewa mpu'u-ra hi Yerusalem. Hante sura kuasa ngkai imam pangkeni, wori' tauna to mepangala' hi Yesus kutarungku'. Kupokono wo'o-kuwo ane rahuku' mate-ra.

⁹I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

¹¹Wori' ngkani-a mpobalinai' -ra hi rala tomi posampayaa, pai' kupewuku-ra mposapuaka pepangala' -ra hi Yesus. Dede' -damo nono-ku, alaa-na hilou-ama hi ngata-ngata to molaa mpobalinai' -ra.

¹⁰Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

¹³"O Magau' to kubila', hante patuju toe-mi, pai' hilou-a hi ngata Damsyik, rapowiti' pai' rawai' kuasa ngkai imam pangkeni. Hi pomako' -ku hilou hi Damsyik toe, hi lengko ohea-a-pidi, kira-kira tebua' -mi eo, muu-mule' kuhilo baja to mehini ngkai langi' mpohinii-a hante doo-doo-ku. Baja toe meliu kabaja-na ngkai hini eo.

¹¹And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

¹⁴Kamodungka-kai omea-mi. Pai' ria ku'epe to mpololitai-a hi rala basa Yahudi, na'uli' -ka: `Saulus! Saulus! Napa pai' nubalinai' -a? Aga iko moto-kowo mpai' to peda' ane nujojo mpo'ewa pekio' Pue' -nu!'

¹²Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,

¹⁵"Ku'uli' -ki: `Ha hema-ko Pue'?' "Natompoi' -a: `Aku' -mile Yesus, to nubalinai' -e!

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 which journeyed with me.

¹⁶Aga wae lau, mokore-moko! Mehupa' -ama hi iko hewa toe lau, apa' ria patuju-ku hi iko: kupelihi-moko jadi' topobago-ku pai' sabi' -ku. Iko kana mpoparata hi tau ntani' -na napa to nuhilo-mi eo toe lau, pai' napa to kupopohiloi-koko hi eo-eo to tumai mpai'.

¹⁴And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

¹⁷Kubahaka moto-ko mpai' ngkai kuasa-ra to Yahudi pai' ngkai kuasa-ra to bela-ra to Yahudi. Kusuro-moko hilou mpokeni Lolita-ku hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi.

¹⁵And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

¹⁸Kusuro-ko hilou mpobini' mata-ra, pai' mpotete' -ra ngkai kabengia-na tumai hi kabajaa-ku; bona tebahaka-ra ngkai kuasa Magau' Anudaa' pai' nakuasai-ramo Alata'ala; bona te'ampugi jeko' -ra pai' jadi' -ramo bagia Alata'ala sabana pepangala' -ra hi Aku'.'

¹⁶But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

¹⁹"O Magau' Agripa to kubila', toe-mi pai' kuhuduwukui oa' mpotuku' napa to na'uli' -ka Pue' hi rala pangila-ku toe-e.

¹⁷Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

²⁰Kuparata hi hawe'ea tauna kareba to mpo'uli': kana medea-ta ngkai jeko' -ta pai' mpotonu katuwu' -ta hi Alata'ala, pai' kana tapopohiloi hante gau' -ta kamedea-ta mpu'u-mi ngkai jeko' -ta. Lomo' -na kareba toe kuparata hi ngata Damsyik, oti toe hi Yerusalem pai' hobo' hi tana' Yudea. Pai' hilou wo'o-a hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi mpokeni kareba toe.

¹⁸To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

²¹Toe-mi pai' alaa-na rahoko' to Yahudi-a hi Tomi Alata'ala, doko' rapatehi.

¹⁹Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:

²²Aga nau' wae, Alata'ala mpotulungi-a ngkai lomo' -na duu' rata hi eo toe lau. Toe pai' mokore-a hi rehe'i mpo'uli' posabi' -ku hi tauna omea, lompe' maradika lompe' ntodea. Napa to ku'uli' tohe'i, uma ria ntani' -na, bate hibalia hante napa to nalowa ami' -mi nabi Musa pai' nabi-nabi ntani' -na owi,

²⁰But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

²³to mpo'uli': Magau' Topetolo' kana mporata kaparia duu' -na rapatehi, pai' Hi'a-mi to lomo' -na tuwu' nculii' ngkai kamatea. Bona Hi'a-mi to mpokeni kabajaa-na hi hawe'ea tauna, ba to Yahudi-ra ba bela-ra to Yahudi."

²¹For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.

²⁴Bula-na Paulus mololita-pidi mpo'uli' noa' -na, mejeu' -mi Festus na'uli': "Wuli-ko Paulus! Kapantea-nu to wori' tetu mpokeni-ko wuli."

²²Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

²⁵Na'uli' Paulus: "Uma-a-kuwo wuli, O Gubernur to kubila'. Monoto moto nono-ku, pai' makono lolita-ku.

²³That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

²⁶Ane Magau' Agripa, na'inca wo'o-hawo hawe'ea to ku'uli' we'i. Toe pai' daho' -a-kuwo mololita hante kalonto' -lonto' -na. Apa' ku'uli' uma ria to ko'ia na'incai Magau', apa' hawe'ea to jadi' tohe'e uma jadi' hi kawunia-na.

²⁴And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

²⁷Magau' Agripa to kubila'! Nupangala' wa lolita nabi owi-e? Kusarumaka bate nupangala'!"

²⁵But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

²⁸Na'uli' Magau' Agripa mpo'uli' -ki Paulus: "Ha nu'uli' -kona mojoli mpobawai-a jadi' to Kristen hangkale'liu-e?"

²⁶For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.

²⁹Na'uli' Paulus: "Hi tempo to hangkale'liu ba tempo to mahae, mekakae-a hi Alata'ala bona Magau' hante hawe'ea to mpo'epe lolita-ku eo toe lau jadi' hewa aku' toi. Sampale-wadi pohoo' tohe'i-e, neo' mporata-koi."

²⁷King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.

³⁰Kahudu-na Paulus mololita, mokore-ramo magau' pai' gubernur pai' Bernike hante doo-ra, pai' -ra malai-mi ngkai tomi porumpua.

²⁸Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

³¹Karata-ra hi mali-na, momepololitai-ramo ra'uli': "Tau tohe'ei ria, uma-hawo ria sala' -na to natao rapatehi-ki ba ratarungku' -ki."

²⁹And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.

³²Na'uli' Magau' Agripa mpo'uli' -ki Festus: "Kakono-na, ane ke uma-i mpopebua' kara-kara-na hi Kaisar, ma'ala tabahaka lau-imi."

³⁰And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:

³¹And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.

³²Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
