Acts 28
1 When we were safe ashore, we discovered that we were on the island of Malta.
Bhotufikisibhu kinofu, twamanyili kujha kisibhwa kukutibhwa Malta.
2 The people there were very kind—they started a fire and called all of us over so we could warm up from the rain and the cold.
Bhanu bhenyeji bha pala si tu bhatupelili ukarimu bhwa kawaida, bali bhakosi muoto ni kutukaribisya bhoha, kwandabha jha fula ni mepu jha jhijhendeleleghe.
3 Paul collected a bundle of firewood and threw it on the fire. But a poisonous snake was driven out of the bundle because of the heat and bit him, fastening itself on his hand.
Lakini Paulo bho abhongeniye nsighu ghwa mbabhu ni kubheka pa muoto, lijhoka lidebe lyalijhe ni sumu akahoma mu mbabhu mola kwandabha jha lijotolela, ni kwisyongosya mu kibhoko kya muene.
4 When the people there saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer. Even though he escaped death from the sea, Justice won't let him live.”
Bhanu bhenyeji bha pala bhobhebhuene mnyama inimbila mu kibhoko kya muene, bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Munu ojho hakika muuaji atoruiki mu bahari, lakini haki jhikanduhusu lepi kuishi.”
5 However, Paul shook the snake off into the fire, and suffered no ill-effects.
Lakini muene akansopa mnyama ojhu mu muoto na akabhilepi madhara ghoghoha.
6 They were expecting him to swell up, or suddenly fall down dead. But after waiting a long time, they saw that nothing bad had happened to him so they changed their minds and decided he must be a god.
Bhene bhakajha bhakandendela afimbayi kwa homa au abinayi ghafla ni kufwa. Lakini baada jha kundanga kwa muda mrefu ni kubhona kujha lijhelepi lijambo ambalyo la kawaida lepi kwa muene, bhakabadilisya mawazo gha bhene ni kujobha ajhele K'yara.
7 Nearby were lands that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us and looked after us for three days very hospitably.
Basi mahali pala karibu pajhele ni ardhi ambajho jhajhele mali jha mbaha ghwa kisiwa, munu jha akutibhweghe Pablio. Atukaribisi ni kutukarimu kwa magono madatu.
8 Now Publius' father was sick, lying in bed suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him, and prayed for him, placed his hands on him, and healed him.
Jhatokili kujha ni dadi ghwa Pablio akamulibhu ni homa ni bhutamu bhwa kuhara. Ni Paulo bho andotili, asokili akabheka mabhoko panani pa muene ni kumponesya.
9 After this happened, everyone else who was sick on the island came and was healed.
Baada jha e'le kuhomela, bhanu bhangi pa kisiwa pala bhabhalwaleghe kabhele bhakalota ni kumponyesibhwa.
10 They presented us with many gifts, and when we had to sail they provided everything we needed for the voyage.
Bhanu bhakatuheshimu kwa heshima simehele. Bho twikiandala kusafiri, bhatupelili fela fya tulondeghe.
11 After a three month stay we set sail aboard a ship from Alexandria having a figurehead of the Heavenly Twins that had spent the winter at the island.
Baada jha miesi midatu, twasafiri mugati mu meli jha Iskanda ambajho jhajhele jhitobhibhu mepi apu pakisiwa, ambajho bhalongosi bhake bhajhele bhalongo bhabhele mapasa.
12 We stopped at Syracuse, and spent three days there.
Baada jha kujha tutolili pa mji bhwa Sirakusa, twatamili pala magono madatu.
13 From there we sailed on to Rhegium. The following day a south wind blew, and on the second day we arrived at the port of Puteoli,
Kuhomela pala twasafiri mu mji bhwa Regio. Baada jha ligono limonga mp'ongo ghwa kusini ghwatokili ghafla, na baada jha magono mabhele twafikili ku mji bhwa Putoli.
14 where we discovered some believers. They asked us to stay with them for a week. So we came to Rome.
Okhu twabhakolili baadhi jha bhalongobhifu na twakalibisibhu kutama nabhu kwa magono saba. Kwa njela ejhe tukahida Rumi.
15 When some of the believers from Rome heard we had arrived they came to meet us at the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he was thankful to God and much encouraged.
Kuhoma okhu bhala bhalongobhitu, baada jha kujha bhapeliki habari sya tete, bhakahida kutupokela okho soko lya Apias ni Hotel sidatu. Paulo bho abhuene bhala bhalongo akan'shukuru K'yara akakipela ujasiri.
16 When we entered Rome, Paul was permitted to stay under house arrest with a soldier to guard him.
Bho tujhingili Roma, Paulo aruhusibhu kutama muene pamonga ni jhola askari jha andendeghe.
17 Three days later Paul invited the Jewish leaders there to come to see him. When they were all together he told them, “Brothers, even though I had not done anything wrong against the people or the customs of our forefathers, I was arrested in Jerusalem and handed over to the Roman authorities.
Basi jhajhele baada jha magono madatu Paulo abhakutili bhala bhagosi bhabhajhele bhalongosi kati jha Bhayahudi. Bho bhahidili pamonga, ajobhi kwa bhene, “Bhalongobhangu, pamonga ni kwamba nibhombilepi likosa lyolyoha kwa bhanu abha au kubhomba kinyume ni taratibu sya bhakhokho bhitu bhabhatulongolili, napisibhu kama mfungwa kuhoma Yerusalemu hadi mu mabhoko gha Bharumi.
18 After they had interrogated me they wanted to release me because I had done nothing that warranted execution.
Baada jha kunihoji, bhanogheleghe kundeka huru, kwandabha kwajhelepi ni sababu kwa nene kulondeka adhabu jha kifo.
19 But the Jewish leaders opposed this, so I was forced to appeal to Caesar—not that I had any accusations against my own people.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhala bho bhalongili kinyume kya shauku jha bhene, nalazimiki kukata rufaa kwa Kaisari, japokujha jhajhelepi kana kwamba nileta mashataka panani pa taifa lya nene.
20 That's why I asked to see you, and talk to you, because it is on account of the hope of Israel that I am chained up like this.”
Kwa ndabha jha kukata kwa nene rufaa, efyo, nasokili ni kulongela namu. Kwandabha jha khela ambakyo Israeli ajhe ni ujasiri naku, nifungibhu ni kifungu ekhe.
21 “We have not received any letters from Judea about you, and none of our people have come here with reports against you or to speak badly of you,” they told him.
Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Tubhwayilepi kupokela barua kuhoma Yudea kuhusu bhebhe, wala ndongobhu kuhida kupisya taarifa au kujobha lilobhi lyolyoha lela libaya kuhusu bhebhe.
22 “But we do want to hear from you what you believe—especially regarding this sect, which we know is condemned everywhere.”
Lakini twilonda kupeleka likundi e'le lya bhanu abha, kwandabha limanyikene kwa tete kujha lilongela kinyume kila mahali.”
23 They made an appointment to meet with him. On that day many people came to where he was staying. From morning till night Paul was explaining to them, telling them about the kingdom of God. He tried to convince them about Jesus using the writings of the law of Moses and the prophets.
Bhobhatengili ligono kwandabha jha bhene, bhanu bhingi bhan'hidili mahali pa atameghe. Ajobhi lijambo lela kwa bhene ni kushuhudila kuhusu ufalme bhwa K'yara. Ajaribu kubhashawishi kuhusu Yesu, kwa namna syoha sibhele kuhoma kusheria sya Musa ni kuhoma kwa manabii, kujhandila lukhela hadi kimihi.
24 Some accepted what Paul said, but some refused to believe.
Baadhi jha bhene bhashawishiki kuhusu mambo ghala ghaghajobhibhu, wakati bhamana bhkyeri lepi.
25 They couldn't agree among themselves, and they left after Paul told them this: “The Holy Spirit said it well through Isaiah the prophet to your forefathers,
Bhobhashindilu kukubaliana bhene kwa bhene, bhabhokili baada jha Paulo kulijobha lijambo e'le limonga, “Roho Mtakatifu ajobhili kinofu kup'etela Isaya nabii kwa bhadadi jhinu.
26 ‘Go to these people and tell them: Even though you hear, you won't ever understand, and even though you see, you won't ever comprehend.
Ajobhili, 'Lotayi kwa bhanu abha ujobhayi, “Kwa mb'olokoto sya jhomu mwibetakup'eleka, lakini mwibetalepi kujhelebhwa; Na kwa mihu ghinu mwibetakulola lakini mwibetakutambula lepi.
27 For the minds of these people have become calloused and hard, their ears cannot hear, their eyes are shut, in case they might see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their minds, and might come back to me and I would heal them.’
Kwandabha jha mioyo jha bhanu abha midhaifu, mb'ol'okoto sya bhene sipeleka kwa tabu, bhafumbili mihu gha bhene, ili kwamba bhasihidi kutambula kwa mihu gha bhene, ni kup'el'eka kwa mb'ol'okoto sya bhene, ni kujhelebhwa kwa mioyo ghya bhene ni kugeuka kabhele, na nganibhaponyisi.”'
28 Consequently you should know that this salvation that comes from God has been sent to the foreigners and they will listen.”
Kwa hiyo, mwilondeka kumanya kujha bhwokovu obho bhwa K'yara up'elekibhu kwa bhanu bha Mataifa, na bhibetakup'elekesya.”
30 For two full years Paul stayed there in the house he rented, welcoming everyone who came to see him.
Paulo atamili mu nyumba jha muene jha kupanga kwa miaka ghioha mibhele, na kwa muene.
31 He spoke of the kingdom of God, and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ very boldly. No one prevented him.
Akajha ihubiri ufalme bhwa K'yara na akajha ifundisya mambo juu jha Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa ujasiri bhwoha. Ajhelepi jha am'besili.
