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

Agrippa said to Paul, “You are permitted to speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand and proceeded to make his defense:

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

“In regard to all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, I consider myself fortunate, King Agrippa, that I am about to make my defense before you today;

3 m axaa 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.

especially because you are an expert in all customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

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

“So then, all Jews know my manner of life from my youth up, which from the beginning was spent among my own nation and at Jerusalem;

5 H addii 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.

since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

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

And now I am standing trial for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers;

7 O o 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!

the promise to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly serve God night and day. And for this hope, O King, I am being accused by Jews.

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

Why is it considered incredible among you people if God does raise the dead?

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

“So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

10 O o 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.

And this is just what I did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, but also when they were being put to death I cast my vote against them.

11 O o 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.

And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged at them, I kept pursuing them even to foreign cities.

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

“ While so engaged as I was journeying to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,

13 a yaan 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.

at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.

14 O o 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.

And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’

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

And I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.

16 L aakiin 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;

But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;

17 a nigoo kaa samatabbixinaya dadka iyo quruumaha aan kuu diri doonaba,

rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,

18 i naad 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.

to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’

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

“So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision,

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

but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance.

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

For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

22 H addaba 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;

So, having obtained help from God, I stand to this day testifying both to small and great, stating nothing but what the Prophets and Moses said was going to take place;

23 t aasoo 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.

that the Christ was to suffer, and that by reason of His resurrection from the dead He would be the first to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

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

While Paul was saying this in his defense, Festus said in a loud voice, “Paul, you are out of your mind! Your great learning is driving you mad.”

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

But Paul said, “I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I utter words of sober truth.

26 W aayo, 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.

For the king knows about these matters, and I speak to him also with confidence, since I am persuaded that none of these things escape his notice; for this has not been done in a corner.

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

King Agrippa, do you believe the Prophets? I know that you do.”

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

Agrippa replied to Paul, “ In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian.”

29 K olkaasaa 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.

And Paul said, “ I would wish to God, that whether in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these chains.”

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

The king stood up and the governor and Bernice, and those who were sitting with them,

31 o o kolkii ay baxeen ayaa midba midkii kale la hadlay, oo waxay isku yidhaahdeen, Ninkanu innaba ma uu samayn wax istaahila dhimasho iyo silsilado toona.

and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, “ This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment.”

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

And Agrippa said to Festus, “This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
