Ndu Manzaniba 28
1 Niwa ba nji ta ye ri pian me, ki wo ndi ba yo nklan meme ki ndi Malta.
And when they had saved themselves, they then learned that the island was called Melita.
2 Indji bi son niki ba kpata nisron ndindi nda mulu nitawu duta mbru kpa nitu ilu chachu mba isi wa a he niki.
And the barbarians showed us no ordinary kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the rain which was falling, and because of the cold.
3 Niwa Bulus a vu fla kunkron zontu zi nda vu sa nitu lua, iwan a rju nitu gbaji lua nda ye nye wu ni wo.
And when Paul had brought together a heap of brushwood, and laid it on the fire, a viper came out, by reason of the heat, and fastened itself on his hand.
4 Niwa indji bi bubuki ba to nma si klo ni woma, ba tre ni kpamba, “Indji yi, wu njanji, ani wuu ndji niwa a nawo rjini kpan trema, i gaatre na kpanyme ndi du son ni sisren na.”
And when the barbarians saw the reptile hanging from his hand, they said to one another: This man is certainly a murderer, whom, although he has saved himself from the sea, justice does not permit to live.
5 I niki a kpon nma yo nimi lu'a hama ni du kpe tiwu.
Then he shook the reptile from him into the fire, and suffered no harm.
6 Ba sia gben ndi ani hwukpa ni lilo ko ka lu kurjoku khwu. U niwa ba ki si yau wu gbron nton nda to ndi ikpe meme na ti'una, ba kma sron mba sran nda tre ndi a hi Irji.
But they were expecting that he would become inflamed and swollen, or would suddenly fall down dead; yet, after expecting it for a long time, and seeing no harm befall him, they changed their mind, and said he was a god.
7 Zizan, whiniki, bubu meme bari a he wa bana bi chu wu nklan memeki, igu wa ba yondi Publius. A kpa ta bi ni wo ha, nda nuba kpi wa ba son wu vi tra.
Among the estates about that place were those of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us to his house, and, for three days, entertained us kindly.
8 A he niki, iti Publius a kru lilo lokpa mba atini. Niwa Bulus a hi niwu, a bre, yowo ma nitu ma, nda nuu si kpama.
And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with fever and dysentery. And Paul went in to him, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and restored him to health.
9 Hu kpe yi wa a ye he a, mbru indji bi nklan meme ki ba wa basia lo, ba ngame nda ye kpa sikpa mba.
Therefore, after this had been clone, the rest also in the island who had diseases, came and were cured.
10 Indji ba ngame ba nzu hon gbugbuwu. Niwa kita mla ku nkon dran, ba nuta kpi wa ki son a.
And they also honored us with many honors; and, when we put to sea, they supplied us with such things as we needed.
11 Niwa wha tre a ka hi, ki dran ni jirgi mma wa a kru ga ni nklan meme ki, jirgi mma wu Alexandria, ni nha to “hlan-ha irji” ni kbu shishima.
After three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Dioscuri.
12 Ka huki, ki ye grji ki ni gbu Sirakus, ki kii niki wu vi tra.
And we landed at Syracuse, and remained there three days:
13 Rji niki ki dran ka ri ni mi gbu u Rhegium. Ivi rhi ka hi kikle ngyungyu a rju rji ni kosan, u ni mi vi hari ki ye rhi ni mi gbu u Puteoli.
from which place, by coasting about, we came to Rhegium; and one day afterward, the south wind arose; and we came, on the next day, to Puteoli,
14 Niki, ki to mri vayi bari i ba yo ta duta ye son niba wu vi tangban. Ni nkon kii ki ye ri ni Roma.
where we found brethren, and were persuaded to remain with them seven days. And thus we went toward Home.
15 Rji niki, wa mri vayi ba ba wo tre nitu mbu, baye zontu nita gbagban mu to rhini cucu Abiyas mba iti tra bru tra. Niwa Bulus a to mri vayi ba, a ngyiri ni Irji nda ti gbengblen.
And from this place, the brethren, having heard of us, came out as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns, to meet us. When Paul saw the brethren, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Niwa ki rini mi Roma, ba kpanyme ni Bulus du son ni nklenma mba soja wa ata kri yau.
When we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself, with a soldier that guarded him.
17 Niki a ye he wa ivi tra aka hi, Bulus a yo indji wa bana bi ninkon Yahudawa zi. Niwa ba ye zontu ki, a tre niba ndi “Mri vayi, hama ndi mina ti kpe meme nitu indji ko ka nkon son ba titimbu, ba vu me lo nu ba tro rjini Urushelima ye ri ni wo bi Roma.
And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together the chief men of the Jews; and when they had come, he said to them: Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Hugon myeme tre, ba ta son chume chuwo, nitu bana to kpe wa ba han hukunchi kwu ni tu tre mu.
They, after examination, would have released me, for they found no cause of death in me.
19 I niwa Yahudawa ba tre hu nkon wa bana ta son na, a du me bre to Kaisar, ana nitu mi sia nji nhakpe nitu bi meme mu na.
But because the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Cæsar: not that I have any accusation to bring against my own nation.
20 Nitu kima yi, mi wa tou ni tre niwu, nitu yo sron wa Israila ba he niwu'a du me he nimi lo sarka hi.”
For this reason, I called for you, that I might see you and speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 Mle, ba tre niwu ndi, 'Kina kpa vunvu nha rjini Judiya nitume na, i vayi ri mena ye njitre, koka trekpe meme nitume na.
And they said to him: We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor has any one of the brethren come, and reported or spoken any evil of you.
22 Ama kison wo rjini wu mren me nitu igrji yi, nitu ki to ndi ba tre meme kaagon nitu ma.”
But we think it right to hear from you what you think: for, as it respects this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.
23 Niwa ba yo vi niwu, indji gbugbuwu bari ba ye niwu, ni bubu son ma. A bhwu hla tu trea ni bawu, nda ni vubla nitu ikoson Irji. A ta son gbron sron mba yo rjini du Musa mba rjini anabawa ba, rjini mble kari ni yalu.
And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom, from morning till evening; , he earnestly testified, and set forth the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets.
24 Bari ba kpanyme ni kpiwa ki tre ni tumba, i bari bana kpanyme na.
And some believed the things that were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Niwa bana kpany'me ni kpamba na, ba hi kpamba hu wa Bulus a tre lan tre riri yi. “Ibrji Tsatsra a tre bi, zuni nyu anabawa baba manzani ba hi ni ba titimbi.
And not agreeing among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers by Isaiah the prophet,
26 A tre ndi, hi ni indji biyi ndi hi hla ndi, “Ni si wo, bi wo, i bina to tuma na; mba nisi to bi to, i bina to nkon ma na.
saying: Go to this people and say, You shall surely hear, but you will not understand; and you shall surely see, but you will not perceive.
27 Nitu dri indji biyi a ti bwu, mba ni iton mba, bana mla wo na, mba ba kaa shishi mba hama ki ba ma to ni shishi mba, nda wo ni iton mba, nda to tuma ni dri mba nda kma sran ngari, i mi nuba sikpa.'”
For the heart of this people has become fat, and with their ears they hear heavily, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should turn, and I should restore them to health.
28 Nitu kima, bika to ndi kpachuwo Irji yi, ba truu hini bikora ba, i ba wo'u.”
Therefore, be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
29 Ndu Manzani, 28:29 - tre vunvu bari wu sen ba heni nklan 29: / Niwa a tre kpi biyi, Yahudawa ba ba hi kpamba. Ba sia he ni kikle sen nyu ni kpamba. /
And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, and had great disputation among themselves.
30 Bulus a son wu se ha wawu ni kowa a han nklen ki kima, nda ta kpa ni wo ha, biwa ba ye niwu'a.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all that came to him,
31 A sia dbu bla nitu ikoson Irji nda ta tsro ikpi nitu Bachi Yesu Kristi ni gbengblen sron hama ni ndrjo ata zuu.
preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness and without hinderance.
