Acts 28
1 Following the rescue, they learned that the island was called Malta.
Tin den pundi li jaali leni laafia, ti den bandi ke bi yi li kpendegili yeni Malita.
2 Now the natives showed us unusual kindness, in that they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold.
Likani yaaba, den hanbi tipo ke li kandi. Ki taaga den mii, ti wadi mo den ye boncianla, ke bi cuoni tipo mi fantama, ki yini tikuli ke ti nagini ki yie.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, because of the heat a viper came out and fastened itself on his hand.
Polo den wodi ti dabidi ki baa tieni mi fantama nni. Ku fantanwuligu den tuogi li waalabili ke li ñani ti daadi nni ki joani Polo nuu.
4 So when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they started saying to each other, “This man must be a murderer, whom Justice has not allowed to live, even though rescued from the sea.”
Laa dogu yaaba n den la ke li juani Polo nuu yeni, bi den yedi biyaba: Moamoani o naa joa baa tie nikpale. Baa ke o ciadi mi ñincianma nni, U Tienu teginma naa cedi o wan yaa ye.
5 But he just shook the beast off into the fire and suffered no harm.
Ama Polo den cia o nuu ke o wa baa mi fantama nni ke liba kuli ki tieni Polo.
6 Well they were expecting him to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead; but after waiting for quite a while and seeing nothing unusual happening to him, they changed their mind and started saying he was a god.
Yaaba n ye likani den gu ki tama ke o nuu baa moali, yaaka ke o baa baa ki kpe lanyogunu. Ama ban den guudi ki sua ke liba kuli ki tieni o, bi den lebidi bi yantiali ki yedi ke o baa tie buloba yo.
7 Now in that region there were properties belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and in a friendly manner took care of us for three days.
Li kpendegili yudaano den yi Pupiliyusa. O diegu den kuu leni tin ye naankani. O den cua ki biali ti ki gedini ti o denpo ki ga ti cangu hali dana taa leni ki nunmanga.
8 Well it happened that the father of Publius was sick in bed with fever and dysentery; Paul went in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Li den sua ke o baa dua ke o gbannadi beni ke o go pia puhaankaaga. Polo den gedi o kani ki maani opo o nii ki jaandi ki paagi o.
9 So, when this had happened, the rest of those on the island who had diseases started coming and being healed;
Lani yaa po li kpendegili yaaba, yaaba n yia kuli den cua o kani ke o paagi ba.
10 who also honored us in many ways, and when we put to sea they provided the necessary things.
Bi den jigini ti bonhanla. Tin baa fii yaa yogunu, bi den puni ti tin luo yaala kuli.
11 Now after three months we put to sea in an Alexandrian ship that had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was ‘the Twin Brothers’.
Li den sua ke ñinbiatoagu ñani Alisandile ki pundi tin ye ya kpendegili hali ke u faalu daa fii ya yogunu, ki sedi ki gu hali ke u faalu yogunu n pendi. Bi den yi gu Diyosikuli. Tin den tieni hmaali taa likani, ti den kua gu niinni ki fii.
12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days;
Ti den duodi ki pundi Silakusa dogu, ti den tieni likani dana taa.
13 from there we tacked back and forth and arrived at Rhegium. After one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Ti den suagi liiga ki balini mi ñincianma jaali ki pundi Lejiyo. Lan den fii ki faa, ganu po faalu den fii ki tudi ti ki teni ke ti pundi Pusoli li danlieli daali.
14 where we found brothers who urged us to stay there seven days—that was how we went toward Rome.
Ti den lingi ki laa ti kpiiba likani ke bi mia ti ke ti kali leni ba dana lele. Ti sancenli den tientieni yene ke ti gedi Loma.
15 And the brothers there, when they heard about our circumstances, came out to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Three Inns. When Paul saw them he thanked God and took courage.
Hali ke ti daa den pundi Loma, li den sua ke ti kpiiba yaaba n ye Loma den gaa ti laabaalo ki tuogi ti Apiyusa daaga kani. Nitoaba mo den cua hali yaa candiegu n yi a candietaada ki tuogi ti lankani. Polo n den laa ba, o den tuondi U Tienu ki paagi o pali.
16 Now when we entered Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the commander; but Paul was allowed to live by himself, with the soldier who guarded him.
Ti den pundi Loma, a minteela yudaano den teni a kadibila o yudanciamo nuu nni, ama bi den puni Polo ke o baa li dieli wan baa ye naankani o bebe ke minteeli yenli gu o.
17 It happened that after three days Paul called together the leaders of the Jews; and when they had assembled he said to them: “Men, brothers, though I had done nothing against ‘the people’ or the ancestral customs, still I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Dana taa n den pendi, Polo den yini Jufinba nikpiaga kuli. Ban den taani, o den yedi ba: N kpiiba, mii tieni liba ti buolu po, nii yie ti yaajanba bogida mo, baa yeni bi den kuani nni li kadidieli nni Jelusalema, ki go teni nni Loma yaaba nuu nni.
18 who, when they had examined me, were intending to release me, because I was not guilty of any crime deserving death.
Loma yaaba den buali nni ki bua ki bandi min pia yaa tagili, bi den bua ki ha nni kelima baa laa ke n tieni liba yaala n pundi ban kpa nni.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar; not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Ama Jufinba n den yie, n den sua ke li tie npo tiladi min soagini n buudi Sesa kani. Mii tieni yeni kelima n bua ki tabi n buolu tuotabiguba kuli ka.
20 For this reason therefore I asked to see you and speak with you; it is because of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.”
Lani yaa po ke n mia ki bua ki la yi ki go maadi leni yi. Kelima li tie Isalele yaaba suginma po ke n luo leni i kuseseli na.
21 So they said to him: “We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brothers who came reported or spoken any evil about you.
Bi den goa ki yedi o: Yii baa tiliba kuli ke li ñani Jude diema po ki maadi a maama. Ti kpiiba siiga mo oba naa ñani lipo ki cua ki maadi apo yaala n bia.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think; because as for this sect, we know that it is spoken against everywhere.”
De ti bua ki gbadi a kani han sua yaala, kelima ti bani ke bi yie u naa jaanbuolu i kaani kuli.
23 So arranging a day with him, even more people came to him at his lodging, to whom he kept expounding from morning until evening: solemnly testifying about the Kingdom of God and trying to convince them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
Bi den bili ban baa goa ki taani yaa daali. Li daali n den pundi bi tianba den taani wan cani naani ki yaba. Bi den cua ku tasoangu ke Polo den maadi leni ba ki yaa caa hali ku yenjuagu, ki bundi bipo ki tieni seedi ke U Tieni diema pundi. O den togidi ba yaala n diani Musa balimaama nni leni bi sawalipuaba tila nni ki maadi Jesu maama fuuli, ki moandi ki baa dadi bi yama ban tuo ke Jesu maama tie moamoani.
24 Well some were persuaded by what had been said, and some kept refusing to believe.
Bi nitianba den tuo ke wan maadi yaa maama tie moamoani, bi nitianba mo den yie baa tuo.
25 So being in disagreement among themselves they started to leave, after Paul had said this one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke correctly to our fathers through Isaiah the prophet,
Ban den ña o kani ki niania leni biyaba, Poli den maadi mayenma ki pugini ki yedi: U Tienu Fuoma Yua den pia moamoani wan den teni ke o sawalipualo Esayi maadi leni yi yaajanba yaa maama ki yedi:
26 saying: ‘Go to this people and say, “You will keep on hearing, but never understand; you will keep on seeing, but never perceive”;
Gedi u nibuolu na po ki yedi ba: Yi baa gbadi bonhanla, ama ki nan kan bandi liba, Yi baa noanli bonhanla, ama ki nan kan la liba.
27 because the heart of this people has become sluggish, and their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; in order that they not see with their eyes, nor hear with their ears, nor understand with their heart, nor turn back, so I could heal them.’
Kelima u nibuolu na pala juagi, Bi biini bi tuba ki hubini bi nuni. Ke ban da ti la leni bi nuni, ki da gbadi leni bi tuba, ki da ga bi pala nni, Ke ban da ti lebidi bi yama min paagi ba.
28 Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen!”
Polo den pugini ki yedi: Lanwani yin bandi mani ke U Tienu den soani o tindima maama yeni bi nilanba po yo. Bani wani baa cengi.
29 And when he had said these things the Jews went their way, having a great dispute among themselves.
Polo n den yedi yeni, Jufinba den ñani ki nia leni biyaba boncianla.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to see him,
Lan pendi Polo den ye wan den pa i ligi ki ye yaa dieli nni obebe yeni binmuna lie. O den bialiti yaaba n kpendi a kani ki baa la o kuli.
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all boldness, without hindrance.
O den wangi ba U Tienu diema maama, ki go bangi ba o Diedo Jesu Kilisiti maama fuuli leni li papaali boncianla. Oba kuli ki den yie opo wan da maadi.
