¹And Agrippa said unto Paul, `It is permitted to thee to speak for thyself;` then Paul having stretched forth the hand, was making a defence:

¹Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Bawlos ku yidhi, Waa laguu fasaxay inaad nafsaddaada u hadashid. Kolkaasaa Bawlos gacantiisa fidiyey oo isdaafacay.

²`Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a defence before thee to-day,

²Boqor Agribbow, waxaan isku tirinayaa mid faraxsan inaan maanta hortaada isaga daafaco waxyaalihii ay Yuhuuddu igu soo dacweeyeen oo dhan;

³especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things — both customs and questions — among Jews; wherefore, I beseech thee, patiently to hear me.

³maxaa yeelay, adigu waxaad khusuusan xariif ku tahay caadooyinka iyo su'aalaha oo dhan oo Yuhuudda dhex yaalla; haddaba waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad ii dulqaadatid oo aad i maqashid.

⁴`The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth — which from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem — know do all the Jews,

⁴Yuhuuddu dhammaantoodba tan iyo yaraantaydii way wada yaqaaniin camalka noloshayda, taasoo bilowga aan kula dhex jiray quruuntayda oo aan Yeruusaalem la joogay.

⁵knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I lived a Pharisee;

⁵Haddii ay raalli ku yihiin inay ii marag furaan, iyaguba tan iyo horraantii aqoon bay u lahaayeen sidii aan ugu dhaqmi jiray dariiqada diintayada ugu qiiro adag anoo Farrisi ah.

⁶and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by God, I have stood judged,

⁶Haddaba waxaan haatan halkan u taaganahay in la ii xukumo rajadii ballankii Ilaah u qaaday awowayaashayo.

⁷to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving, do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king Agrippa, by the Jews;

⁷Oo laba iyo tobankayaga qabiilba waxay Ilaah aad ugu adeegaan habeen iyo maalinba iyagoo rajaynaya in ay ballankaas helaan. Haddaba boqorow, Yuhuuddu waxay igu ashtakeeyeen wax rajadaas ku saabsan!

⁸why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the dead?

⁸Haddii Ilaah kuwii dhintay soo sara kiciyo, bal maxaad ugu qaadataan wax aan la rumaysan karin?

⁹`I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved [me] many things to do,

⁹Runtii aniga qudhayduba waxaan mooday inay waajib igu tahay inaan sameeyo waxyaalo badan oo wada khilaafsan magaca Ciisaha reer Naasared.

¹⁰which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against them,

¹⁰Oo sidaasaan ku sameeyey Yeruusaalem; weliba waxaan xabsi ku xidhay kuwo badan oo quduusiin ah, anigoo amar ka wata wadaaddada sare, oo kolkii la dilayayba waan ku raacsanaa.

¹¹and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was constraining [them] to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad against them, I was also persecuting [them] even unto strange cities.

¹¹Oo marar badan ayaan iyaga ku ciqaabay sunagogyada oo dhan, oo waxaan qasbay inay caytamaan; oo intaan aad iyo aad ugu cadhooday, ayaan iyaga ku silciyey tan iyo xataa magaalooyin ajanabi.

¹²`In which things, also, going on to Damascus — with authority and commission from the chief priests —

¹²Oo markaan Dimishaq u sodcaalayay, boqorow, anigoo wata amarkii iyo dardaarankii wadaaddada sare,

¹³at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light — and those going on with me;

¹³ayaan waxaan hadhkii arkay, intaan jidka marayay, iftiin samada ka baxaya oo qorraxda ka sii dhalaal dheer, oo ka iftiimaya hareerahayga aniga iyo kuwii ila socdayba.

¹⁴and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to kick!

¹⁴Oo kolkii aannu dhammaantayo dhulka ku wada dhacnay, ayaan maqlay cod afka Cibraaniga ku hadlaya oo igu leh, Sawlosow, Sawlosow, maxaad ii silcinaysaa? Way kugu adag tahay inaad harraatidid wax ku muda.

¹⁵`And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute;

¹⁵Markaasaan idhi, Yaad tahay Sayidow? Kolkaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ciisaha aad silcinaysid.

¹⁶but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the things thou didst see, and of the things [in which] I will appear to thee,

¹⁶Laakiin bal sara joogso, oo cagahaaga ku istaag; waayo, sababtan aawadeed ayaan kuugu muuqday inaan kaaga dhigo midiidin iyo markhaati waxyaalihii aad igu aragtay iyo waxyaalaha aan kuugu muuqan doonaba;

¹⁷delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom now I send thee,

¹⁷anigoo kaa samatabbixinaya dadka iyo quruumaha aan kuu diri doonaba,

¹⁸to open their eyes, to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having been sanctified, by faith that [is] toward me.

¹⁸inaad indhahooda furtid si ay gudcur uga soo jeestaan oo ay iftiinka ugu soo jeestaan, iyo inay ka soo leexdaan xoogga Shayddaanka oo ay Ilaah u yimaadaan, inay helaan dembidhaaf oo ay dhaxal la helaan kuwa quduus lagaga dhigay rumaysadka ay igu leeyihiin.

¹⁹`Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,

¹⁹Sidaas daraaddeed, boqor Agribbow, kuma aan caasiyoobin riyadii samada ka timid;

²⁰but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem, to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works worthy of reformation;

²⁰laakiin waxaan horeba ugu sheegay kuwii joogay Dimishaq iyo Yeruusaalem iyo dalka Yahuudiya oo dhan iyo weliba dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn, inay toobad keenaan oo ay Ilaah u soo noqdaan, iyagoo samaynaya shuqullo toobad istaahila.

²¹because of these things the Jews — having caught me in the temple — were endeavouring to kill [me].

²¹Waxyaalahaas aawadood baa Yuhuuddu macbudka gudihiisa iigu qabteen, oo waxay isku dayeen inay i dilaan.

²²`Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day, I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses spake of as about to come,

²²Haddaba anigoo caawimaad ka helay xag Ilaah ayaan waxaan ilaa maanta u taaganahay inaan marag furo oo aan u sheego yar iyo weynba, anigoo aan innaba wax kale sheegayn wixii nebiyadii iyo Muuse ay sii sheegeen inay ahaan doonaan mooyaane;

²³that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and to the nations.`

²³taasoo ah in Masiixu xanuunsan doono, iyo sida isagoo ah kii kowaad oo kuwii dhintay ka soo sara kacay uu iftiin ugu naadin doono dadka iyo quruumahaba.

²⁴And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;`

²⁴Oo intuu saas isu daafacayay, ayaa Feestos cod weyn ku dhawaaqay oo yidhi, Bawlosow, waad waalan tahay. Barashadaadii badnayd ayaa waalli kuu beddeshay.

²⁵and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth;

²⁵Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Feestoskii aad u sarreeyeyow, anigu ma aan waalni, laakiin waxaan ku hadlayaa erayo run ah iyo feeyignaan.

²⁶for the king doth know concerning these things, before whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been done in a corner;

²⁶Waayo, boqorka aan ikhtiyaar ula hadlayaa wuu garanayaa waxyaalahan; waayo, anigu waxaan hubaa inaan waxyaalahan midkoodna uusan isaga ka qarsoonayn; waayo, waxyaalahan laguma samayn meel qarsoon.

²⁷thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have known that thou dost believe!`

²⁷Boqor Agribbow, nebiyadii ma rumaysan tahay? Waan ogahay inaad rumaysan tahay.

²⁸And Agrippa said unto Paul, `In a little thou dost persuade me to become a Christian!`

²⁸Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Bawlos ku yidhi, Wax yar baad igu oggolaysiinaysaa inaan Masiixi noqdo.

²⁹and Paul said, `I would have wished to God, both in a little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing me to-day, to become such as I also am — except these bonds.`

²⁹Kolkaasaa Bawlos wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan Ilaah ka dooni lahaa in, haddii ay tahay wax yar iyo haddii ay tahay wax badan, ayan ahayn adiga oo keliya, laakiin in, inta maanta i maqlaysaa oo dhammu, ay wada noqdaan sida aan ahay oo kale, silsiladahan mooyaane.

³⁰And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them,

³⁰Markaasaa boqorkii kacay iyo taliyihii iyo Bernikee iyo kuwii la fadhiyey oo dhammu;

³¹and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another, saying — `This man doth nothing worthy of death or of bonds;`

³¹oo kolkii ay baxeen ayaa midba midkii kale la hadlay, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ninkanu innaba ma uu samayn wax istaahila dhimasho iyo silsilado toona.Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Feestos ku yidhi, Ninkan waa la sii dayn kari lahaa haddii uusan Kaysar u ashtakoon.

³²and Agrippa said to Festus, `This man might have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.`

³²Markaasaa Agribba wuxuu Feestos ku yidhi, Ninkan waa la sii dayn kari lahaa haddii uusan Kaysar u ashtakoon.
