1 B rethren and fathers, hear ye the defence which I now make unto you.

Walaalayaal iyo aabbayaalow, maqla isdaafacidda aan imminka idiin sheegayo.

2 A nd when they heard that he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, they were the more quiet: and he saith,

Kolkay maqleen inuu af Cibraaniga kula hadlay, ayay sidii hore ka sii aamuseen. Markaasuu ku yidhi,

3 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as ye all are this day:

Waxaan ahay nin Yuhuudi ah oo ku dhashay Tarsos oo ku taal Kilikiya, laakiin magaaladan baa laygu koriyey anoo Gamalii'eel hoostiisa wax laygu baray sidii caadadii adkayd oo sharcigii awowayaasheen, anigoo Ilaah qiiro u leh sida aad dhammaantiin maanta tihiin.

4 a nd I persecuted this Way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

Jidkanna waan silcin jiray tan iyo dhimasho, anigoo xidhaya oo xabsiga geeynaya rag iyo dumarba.

5 A s also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and journeyed to Damascus to bring them also that were there unto Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.

Sidatan ayay iigu markhaati furayaan wadaadka sare iyo waayeelladii oo dhammuba, kuwaasoo aan warqado uga helay walaalaha, oo aan Dimishaq u sodcaalay inaan kuwa halkaas joogayna, iyagoo xidhxidhan, Yeruusaalem keeno si loo ciqaabo.

6 A nd it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and drew nigh unto Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.

Oo waxaa dhacday, intaan sodcaalayay oo Dimishaq u soo dhowaanayay, iyadoo duhur ah, in dhaqsiba iftiin weyn oo samada ka yimid hareerahayga ka iftiimay.

7 A nd I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

Markaasaan dhulka ku dhacay, oo waxaan maqlay cod igu leh, Sawlosow, Sawlosow, maxaad ii silcinaysaa?

8 A nd I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.

Markaasaan u jawaabay oo ku idhi, Yaad tahay, Sayidow? Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ciisaha reer Naasared oo aad silcinaysid.

9 A nd they that were with me beheld indeed the light, but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.

Oo kuwii ila joogayna runtii waxay arkeen iftiinkii, laakiin ma ay maqlin kii ila hadlay codkiisii.

10 A nd I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

Markaasaan ku idhi, Maxaan sameeyaa, Rabbiyow? Kolkaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Kac oo Dimishaq gal; meeshaasaana laguugu sheegi doonaa waxa ku saabsan waxyaalihii lagu amray inaad samaysid oo dhan.

11 A nd when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me I came into Damascus.

Markaan waxba arki waayay dhalaalkii iftiinka aawadiis, kuwii ila joogay ayaa gacanta igu hagay oo waxaan imid Dimishaq.

12 A nd one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,

Oo mid la odhan jiray Ananiyas, oo nin cibaadaysan ahaa sida sharcigu leeyahay, oo ahaa mid Yuhuuddii halkaas joogtay oo dhanba marag wanaagsan u furtay,

13 c ame unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And in that very hour I looked up on him.

ayaa ii yimid oo iskay ag taagay isagoo igu leh, Walaal Sawlosow, araggaaga hel. Oo saacaddiiba waan arkay isagii.

14 A nd he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.

Markaasuu igu yidhi, Ilaaha awowayaasheen ayaa ku doortay inaad doonistiisa ogaatid, iyo inaad Kan Xaqa ah aragtid oo aad afkiisa cod ka maqashid.

15 F or thou shalt be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.

Maxaa yeelay, dadka oo dhan hortiisa waxaad isaga uga markhaati furaysaa waxaad aragtay oo aad maqashay.

16 A nd now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.

Haddaba maxaad u sugaysaa? Kac ha lagu baabtiiso, oo dembiyadaada iska maydh, adoo magiciisa ku baryaya.

17 A nd it came to pass, that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,

Oo waxaa dhacday, markaan Yeruusaalem ku soo noqday dabadeed, intaan macbudka ku tukanayay, inaan riyooday,

18 a nd saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem; because they will not receive of thee testimony concerning me.

oo waxaan arkay isagoo igu leh, Degdeg, oo dhaqso Yeruusaalem uga bax; maxaa yeelay, markhaatigaad ii furaysid kaama ay aqbali doonaan.

19 A nd I said, Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:

Markaasaan idhi, Rabbiyow, iyaga qudhoodu way og yihiin inaan xidhxidhay oo aan sunagog walba ku garaacay kuwa ku rumaystay;

20 a nd when the blood of Stephen thy witness was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting, and keeping the garments of them that slew him.

oo markii la daadshay dhiigga Istefanos oo ahaa markhaatigaaga, aniguna waan ag taagnaa oo u oggolaanayay oo haynayay kuwii isagii dilay dharkoodii.

21 A nd he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee forth far hence unto the Gentiles.

Markaasuu igu yidhi, Tag, maxaa yeelay, waxaan kuu dirayaa meel fog inaad dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn ugu tagtid. Bawlos Wuxuu Isku Sheegay Waddani Reer Rooma

22 A nd they gave him audience unto this word; and they lifted up their voice, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.

Wayna dhegaysteen ilaa hadalkaas; markaasay codkoodii sare u qaadeen iyagoo leh, Dhulka ka fogee ninka caynkan ah, maxaa yeelay, ma qummana inuu noolaado.

23 A nd as they cried out, and threw off their garments, and cast dust into the air,

Oo markay qaylinayeen oo dharka iska xoorayeen oo siigo hawada ku tuurayeen,

24 t he chief captain commanded him be brought into the castle, bidding that he should be examined by scourging, that he might know for what cause they so shouted against him.

ayaa sirkaalkii sare wuxuu amray in isagii qalcaddii la soo geliyo, oo wuxuu u sheegay in karbaash lagu imtixaamo si uu ku ogaado sababtii ay sidaas ugu qaylinayeen isagii.

25 A nd when they had tied him up with the thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?

Oo markay suumanka ku xidheen dabadeed ayaa Bawlos wuxuu ku yidhi boqol-u-taliyihii oo ag taagnaa, Ma qaynuun baa inaad karbaashtaan nin reer Rooma ah oo aan la xukumin?

26 A nd when the centurion heard it, he went to the chief captain and told him, saying, What art thou about to do? for this man is a Roman.

Markii boqol-u-taliyihii taas maqlayna, wuxuu u tegey sirkaalkii sare oo u sheegay, isagoo leh, Maxaad samaynaysaa? Waayo, ninkanu waa nin reer Rooma ah.

27 A nd the chief captain came and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? And he said, Yea.

Markaasaa sirkaalkii sare u yimid oo ku yidhi isagii, Ii sheeg, ma nin reer Rooma ah baad tahay? Markaasuu yidhi, Haah.

28 A nd the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this citizenship. And Paul said, But I am a Roman born.

Kolkaasaa sirkaalkii sare u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Waddaninimadan waxaan siistay lacag badan. Laakiin Bawlos wuxuu ku yidhi, Anigu reer Rooma ayaan u dhashay.

29 T hey then that were about to examine him straightway departed from him: and the chief captain also was afraid when he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.

Haddaba kuwii doonayay inay isagii imtixaamaan markiiba way ka tageen, xataa sirkaalkii sarena waa cabsaday markuu ogaaday inuu yahay reer Rooma, maxaa yeelay, wuu xidhay. Bawlos Baa Iskaga Daafacay Shirka Hortiisa

30 B ut on the morrow, desiring to know the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

Laakiin maalintii dambe, isagoo doonaya inuu hubsado waxa Yuhuuddu ku dacwaysay, ayuu isagii furay, oo wuxuu wadaaddadii sare iyo shirka oo dhan ku amray inay isu yimaadaan, markaasuu Bawlos hoos u keenay oo soo hor taagay iyagii.
