Acts 22:1-5 in Kannada

1 Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

5 As 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 went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

1 ಜನರೇ, ಸಹೋದರರೇ, ತಂದೆಗಳೇ, ನಾನು ಈಗ ನಿಮಗೆ ಮಾಡುವ ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರತಿವಾದವನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿರಿ.
Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.

2 (ಅವನು ತಮ್ಮೊಂದಿಗೆ ಇಬ್ರಿಯ ಭಾಷೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡಿದ್ದನ್ನು ಅವರು ಕೇಳಿ ಮತ್ತೂ ನಿಶ್ಶಬ್ದ ವಾದರು). ಆಗ ಅವನು--
(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

3 ನಿಜವಾಗಿಯೂ ನಾನು ಕಿಲಿಕ್ಯದ ತಾರ್ಸ ಪಟ್ಟಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಒಬ್ಬ ಯೆಹೂದ್ಯನು; ಆದರೂ ಈ ಪಟ್ಟಣದಲ್ಲಿ ಗಮಲಿ ಯೇಲನ ಪಾದದ ಬಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಬೆಳೆದವನಾಗಿದ್ದು ಪಿತೃಗಳ ನ್ಯಾಯಪ್ರಮಾಣದ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣಕ್ರಮಕ್ಕನು ಸಾರವಾಗಿ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಹೊಂದಿ ಈ ದಿನ ನೀವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಹೇಗೋ ಹಾಗೇ ದೇವರ ಕಡೆಗೆ ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯುಳ್ಳ ವನಾಗಿದ
I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.

4 ನಾನು ಈ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿದ ಗಂಡಸರನ್ನೂ ಹೆಂಗಸರನ್ನೂ ಬಂಧಿಸಿ ಸೆರೆಮನೆ ಯೊಳಗೆ ಹಾಕಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಅವರನ್ನು ಕೊಲ್ಲುವ ಮಟ್ಟಿಗೂ ಹಿಂಸಿಸಿದೆನು.
And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.

5 ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಮಹಾಯಾಜಕನೂ ಹಿರೀಸಭೆ ಯವರೆಲ್ಲರೂ ನನಗೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿಗಳಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಇವರಿಂದಲೇ ಅಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಸಹೋದರರಿಗೆ ನಾನು ಪತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆದು ದಮಸ್ಕದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದವರನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಿ ಯೆರೂಸಲೇಮಿಗೆ ತಂದು ಶಿಕ್ಷಿಸುವದಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ನಾನು ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಹೋದೆನು.
As 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 went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
