Acts 28
1 Once we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta.
Patuikite salama, tutangite panga kisiwa kikemelwa Malta.
2 The islanders showed us extraordinary kindness. They kindled a fire and welcomed all of us because it was raining and cold.
Bandu batama poo ni balo patupeya ukarimu wa kawaida wa kwaa, ila baliwasha mwoto na kutukaribisha twabote, kwa sababu ya ula na mbepo yaibile itiendelea.
3 Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and as he laid them on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself to his hand.
Lakini Paulo paabile atikusanya mzigo wa anju na kuubeka pamwoto, nng'ambo nchunu ywabile na sumu aboka mu'yelo anju kwa sababu ya lelo lijoto, na akajizungusha mu'maboko gake.
4 When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Surely this man is a murderer. Although he was saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
Bandu wenyeji wa palo pabamweni yolo mnyama atining'ia boka mu'maboko gake, babaya bene kwa bene, “Mundu yolo hakika ni muuaji ambaye aboka mulibahari, lakini haki haimuruhusu tama.”
5 But Paul shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
Lakini ywembe atintupia yolo mnyama katika mwoto na apata kwaa madhara yoyote.
6 The islanders were expecting him to swell up or suddenly drop dead. But after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
Bembe batimgojea avimbe kwa homa au atomboke gafla na kubulagika. Lakini baada ya kunlolekeya kwa muda mrefu na kubona panga ntopo likowe ambalo ni lakwaida kwaa kwake, balibadilisha malango yabe no baya abile nongo.
7 Nearby stood an estate belonging to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and entertained us hospitably for three days.
Bai mahali palo papipi pabile na bui ambayo ubile mali ya nkolo wa kisiwa, mundu ywakemelwa Pablio. Atitukaribisha na kutukarimu kwa masoba atatu.
8 The father of Publius was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and after praying and placing his hands on him, he healed the man.
ipalike panga tate ba Pablio abile na homa na ugonjwa wa kuhara. Na Paulo pmwendea, akiloba, kabeka maboko nnani yake, na kumponya.
9 After this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured as well.
Baada ya lee pangika, bandu benge palo pakisiwa baabile atamwe batiyenda na kuponelwa.
10 The islanders honored us in many ways and supplied our needs when we were ready to sail.
Bandu batimuheshimu kwa heshima yanyansima. Tubile twatijiandaa kusafiri, batupeya yelo twahitajia.
11 After three months we set sail in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island. It had the Twin Brothers as a figurehead.
Baada ya miei itatu, twatisafiri nkati ya meli ya iskanda ambayo ibile imepigwa mbepo kolyo pakisiwa, ambayo viongozi wake babile alongo abele mapacha.
12 Putting in at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Baada ya kuwa twatua katika mji wa Sirakusa, twatama kolyo masoba atatu.
13 From there we weighed anchor and came to Rhegium. After one day, a south wind came up, and on the second day we arrived at Puteoli.
Iapangike palo twatisafiri katika mji wa Regio. Baada ya lisoba limo mbepo wa kusini uboite ghafla, na baada ya masoba abele tuikite katika mji wa Putoli.
14 There we found some brothers who invited us to spend the week with them. And so we came to Rome.
Kolyo twatikwembana baadhi ya alongo na twatikaribishwa na tama nao kwa masoba saba. Kwa ndela yee tuisile Rumi.
15 The brothers there had heard about us and traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he was encouraged and gave thanks to God.
Boka kolyo balo alongo, baada ya kuwa wayowine habari zetu, baisile kutupokya kolyo kulisoko lya Apias na Hotel tatu. Paulo paabweni balo alongo atimshukuru Nnongo kajipea ujasiri.
16 When we arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
Patujingii Roma, Paulo atiruhusiwa tama kichake pamope na yolo askari ywabile akinlinda.
17 After three days, he called together the leaders of the Jews. When they had gathered, he said to them, “Brothers, although I have done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, I was taken prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans.
Bai ibile baada ya masoba atatu Paulo atibakema pamope balo alalome babile viongozi kati ya Ayahudi. Pabaisile pamope, abaya kwao, “Alongo, pamope na panga nipangite kosa lolote kwa bandu aba au panga kinchogo na taratibu za apindo bitu batuyongolya, natitolewa kati mfungwa boka Yerusalemu mpaka katika maboko ga Arumi.
18 They examined me and wanted to release me, because there was no basis for a death sentence against me.
Baada ya kunnaluya, batamaniya kunileka huru, kwa sababu kwabile ntopo sababu kwango nenga yastahili adhabu ya kiwo.
19 But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, even though I have no charge to bring against my nation.
Lakini balo Ayahudi pabalongela kinyume cha shauku yabe, nililazimika kukata rufaa kwa Kaisaria, ila ibile kwaa kati panga naleta mashitaka nnani ya litaifa lyango.
20 So for this reason I have called to see you and speak with you. It is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
Kwa sababu ya kukata kwango rufaa, nga nyo, niloba kubabona na longela namwenga. Kwa sababu ya chelo ambacho Israeli abile na ujasiri nacho, nitabilwe na kifungo chee.
21 The leaders replied, “We have not received any letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the brothers from there reported or even mentioned anything bad about you.
Boka po bammakiya, “Twapokya kwaa barua boka Yudea kuhusu wenga, wala ntopo nongo ywaisa na kutoa taarifa au baya neno lolote linoite kwaa nnani ya wenga.
22 But we consider your views worth hearing, because we know that people everywhere are speaking against this sect.”
Lakini twapala kuyowa boka kwako wawaza namani kuhusu lee likundi lya bandu aba, kwa sababu iyowanike kwetu panga lalongela kinyume kila mahali.”
23 So they set a day to meet with Paul, and many people came to the place he was staying. He expounded to them from morning to evening, testifying about the kingdom of God and persuading them about Jesus from the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
Pababile batitenga lisoba kwa ajili yake, bandu banyansima baisa mahali paabile atama. Kabaya lelo likowe kwao na kushuhudia kuhusu ufalme wa Nnongo. Atijaribu kubashawishi kuhusu Yesu, kwa namna zote ibele boka katika saliya ya Musa na boka kwa manabii, toka bwamba mpaka kitamwinyo.
24 Some of them were convinced by what he said, but others refused to believe.
Baadhi ya bembe batishawishika kuhusu makowe yalo yabayilwe, na benge baaminiya kwaa.
25 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement: “The Holy Spirit was right when He spoke to your fathers through Isaiah the prophet:
Pabatishindwa yeketyana bene kwa bene, batiboka baada ya Paulo kulibaya likowe lee limo, “Roho Mtakatifu abaya vyema pitya Isaya nabii kwa tate bitu,
26 ‘Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.”
Abaya,'Yenda kwa bandu aba ubaye, “Kwa makutu yinu mwalowa sikia, lakini mupekania kwaa; na kwa minyo yinu mwalowa lola lakini mutangite kwaa.
27 For this people’s heart has grown callous; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn, and I would heal them.’
Kwaajili ya mioyo ya bandu aba ibile dhaifu, makutu gabe gapekanie kwa taabu, watifunga minyo yabe; ili panga kana patange kwa minyo yabe, na kupekania kwa makutu gabe, na kutanga kwa mioyo yabe, na kerebuka kae, na nalowa kubaponya.”
28 Be advised, therefore, that God’s salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
Kwa eyo mpalikwa kutanga panga awoo wokovu wa Nnongo utipelekwa kwa bandu ba Mataifa, na balowa kuwapekania.”
30 Paul stayed there two full years in his own rented house, welcoming all who came to visit him.
Pulo atami mu'nyumba yake ya kupanga kwa miaka yote ibele, na atibakaribisha bote baisile kwake.
31 Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Abile akihubiri ufalme wa Nnongo na abile akifundisha makowe nnani ya Ngwana Yesu Kristo kwa ujasiri wote. Ntopo ywankanikiya.
