Acts 28
1 And when they were come safe, then they knewe that the Yle was called Melita.
Mpotwalapuluka ne kushika cena ku mutunta, bantu bakusa balatwambileti, kuno ku mutunta nkomubele nipa nsumbu ikute kukwiweti Melita.
2 And the Barbarians shewed vs no litle kindnesse: for they kindled a fire, and receiued vs euery one, because of the present showre, and because of the colde.
Bantu aba balikuba baina myoyo. Balatutambula cena, balatukunkila mulilo pakwinga kwalikuba mpepo cebo ca mfula yali kuloka.
3 And when Paul had gathered a nomber of stickes, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heate, and leapt on his hand.
Paulo walaya kutema muleye wankuni. Lino cindi ncalabika muleye wa nkuni uwo pamulilo, njoka yabululu yalikubamo mpoyalanyumfwa kulungula, yalasolomokamo ne kumuluma Paulo kucikasa.
4 Nowe when ye Barbarians saw the worme hang on his hand, they said among themselues, This man surely is a murtherer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet Vengeance hath not suffered to liue.
Bantu ba uko mpobalabona njoka kaili yalelela ku cikasa ca Paulo, balambeti, “Cakubinga muntuyu ni kapondo, nambi wapuluka palwenje, lesa wetu wabululami nkasuni kwambeti uyu muntu ekale ne buyumi.”
5 But he shooke off the worme into the fire, and felt no harme.
Paulo waisansamwina pamulilo, uliya kulingwapo sobwe.
6 Howbeit they wayted whe he should haue swolne, or fallen downe dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and sawe no inconuenience come to him, they changed their mindes, and said, That he was a God.
Bantu balikuyeyeti nashimbe, nambi kufwa kwakwinsa kwalamuka. Nomba mpobalalangila kwacindi citali, ne kuboneti paliya cilenshiki pali Paulo, balambeti, “Ni lesa!”
7 In the same quarters, the chiefe man of the Yle (whose name was Publius) had possessions: the same receiued vs, and lodged vs three dayes courteously.
Capepi napo mpotwalikuba, palikuba mabala amutangunishi wapa nsumbu ya Melita walikukwiweti Pabulosi. Walatutambula ca makasa abili, twalekala nendi masuba atatu.
8 And so it was, that the father of Publius lay sicke of the feauer, and of a bloodie flixe: to whom Paul entred in, and when he prayed, he laide his hands on him, and healed him.
Baishi Pabulosi balikuba bona kabakolwa bulwashi bwa kulungula mubili, kayi ne cinkumbe. Paulo walaya mu ng'anda mobalikuba, walapaila nekubika makasa akendi palyendibo, popelapo balasengulwa.
9 When this then was done, other also in the Yle, which had diseases, came to him, and were healed,
Panyuma mpocalenshika ici bantu bonse balikukolwa malwashi pansumbu apa, balatatika kwisa kuli Paulo, kayi balasengulwa.
10 Which also did vs great honour: and when we departed, they laded vs with things necessarie.
Balatulemekesha munshila shingi. Mpotwalengila mu bwato bunene kwambeti twenga, balatubikilamo bintu nabimbi byalikuyandika pa bulwendo bwetu.
11 Nowe after three moneths we departed in a shippe of Alexandria, which had wintred in the Yle, whose badge was Castor and Pollux.
Panyuma pakwikalako myenshi itatu, twalatanta bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya, kuntangu kwa bwato ubu kwalikuba cikoshano ya “Balesa Bampundu.” Ubu bwato bunene bwalikuba apa pa nsumbu cindi conse ca mupewo.
12 And when we arriued at Syracuse, we taried there three dayes.
Mpotwalashika ku munshi wa Sulakusa, twalekalako masuba atatu.
13 And from thence we set a compasse, and came to Rhegium: and after one day, the South wind blewe, and we came the seconde day to Putioli:
Kufuma uko, twalenda ne kuya kushika ku munshi wa Legiyamu. Busuba bwalakonkapo, lukupwe lwalatatika kupupula kufumina ku musansa. Pabusuba bwatubili twalashika pa cito ca Potiyolo.
14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tary with them seuen dayes, and so we went toward Rome.
Uko twalacanako banse abo balatusengeti, twikale nabo kwa nsondo imo. Twalatatika bulwendo bwetu bwa mapwililisho pakuya kushika ku Loma.
15 And from thence, when the brethren heard of vs, they came to meete vs at the Market of Appius, and at the Three tauernes, whom when Paul sawe, he thanked God, and waxed bolde.
Banse baku Loma mpobalanyumfweti tuli munshila, balatucinsha mpaka kushika ku musena walikukwiweti, “Cibansa camakwebo ca Apiya,” Kayi ne kumusena kwalikukwiweti, “Manda Atatu Abensu.” Paulo mpwalababona, walalumba Lesa kayi walayuminishiwa.
16 So when we came to Rome, the Centurion deliuered the prisoners to the generall Captaine: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with a souldier that kept him.
Mpotwalashika ku Loma, Paulo balamusuminisha kwikala enka kalondwa ne mushilikali.
17 And the third day after, Paul called the chiefe of the Iewes together: and when they were come, he said vnto them, Men and brethren, though I haue committed nothing against the people, or Lawes of the fathers, yet was I deliuered prisoner from Hierusalem into the handes of the Romanes.
Mpopalapita masuba atatu, Paulo walakuwa batangunishi ba Ciyuda kwambeti abandike nabo. Mpobalabungana pamo, Paulo walabambileti, “Baislayeli baname, nikukabeti paliya caipa ncondalensa kuli banse betu, nambi kutoteka miyambo ya bamashali betu bakulu kulu, Bayuda balansungisha mu Yelusalemu, ne kuntwala mu makasa aba Loma.
18 Who when they had examined me, would haue let me goe, because there was no cause of death in me.
Baloma mpobalanjipusha mipusho kwambeti benshibe makani ncabele, balayanda kunsungulula pakwinga baliya kucana mulandu ngondelela kufwilapo.
19 But when the Iewes spake contrary, I was constrained to appeale vnto Cesar, not because I had ought to accuse my nation of.
Nsombi Bayuda nkabalikuyandeti ame nsungululwe sobwe, ecebo cakendi ndalasengeti Mwami Mukulene wa ku Loma kuno awomboloshe mulandu wakame. Nikukabeco ame ndiya mfundilishi ne bantu bamushobo wakame sobwe.
20 For this cause therefore haue I called for you, to see you, and to speake with you: for that hope of Israels sake, I am bound with this chaine.
Ecebo cakendi ncondamukuwili kwambeti ng'ambe ne njamwe. Ame ndasungwa ncetani cebo ca muntuyo ngobalapembelelenga Baislayeli bonse.”
21 Then they saide vnto him, We neither receiued letters out of Iudea concerning thee, neither came any of the brethren that shewed or spake any euill of thee.
Balo balakumbuleti, “Tuliya kutambulapo makalata kufuma ku Yudeya alambanga makani akobe. Kayi paliya banse betu bafuma uko kwisa kutwambila makani aipa pali njobe sobwe.
22 But we will heare of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we knowe that euery where it is spoken against.
Nomba tulayandanga kulinyumfwila tobene miyeyo yakobe, pakwinga tucinshi kwambeti kulikonse bantu balambangeti mu likoto mobele nkalilipo cena sobwe.”
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many vnto him into his lodging, to whom he expounded testifying the kingdome of God, and persuading them those things that concerne Iesus, both out of the Lawe of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning to night.
Neco balabamba busuba bumbi bwa kwisa kubandika ne Paulo, Bangi bali kwisa kung'anda nkwali kwikala. Kufuma mumene mene mpaka mansailo, Paulo wali kubasansululwila ne kubakambaukila makani a Bwami bwa Lesa. Walelekesha kubambila makani alambanga pali Yesu kwambeti bashome, pa kubambila byalembwa mu Milawo ya Mose ne mu mabuku alalembwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu.
24 And some were persuaded with ye things which were spoken, and some beleeued not.
Nabambi batangunishi balashoma makani ngalikwamba Paulo, nsombi nabambi baliya kwashoma sobwe.
25 Therefore when they agreed not among themselues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the Prophet vnto our fathers,
Lino nkapalikuba kunyumfwana cena pakati pabo, neco bapalangana Paulo mpwalamba maswi akupwililisheti, “Cakubinga Mushimu Uswepa walamba cena kupitila muli mushinshimi Yesaya, pa kwambila bamashali betu bakulukulu eti,
26 Saying, Goe vnto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceiue.
“Koya ku bantu aba ubambileti, kunyumfwa nimukanyumfwenga, nsombi nteti mukanyumfwishishenga sobwe. Kubona nimukabonenga, nsombi nteti mukabonesheshenga sobwe.
27 For the heart of this people is waxed fatte, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes haue they winked, least they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their heartes, and should returne that I might heale them.
Pakwinga bantu aba bayuma myoyo, kayi matwi ashinka, ne menso abo acalika. Necabuleco, ne balalangishisha cena, ne kunyumfwishisha cena, ne kuba ne myoyo ilayandishishinga kwinshiba kwambeti bashiye bwipishi bwabo, kwambeti Ame ndibasengule.”
28 Be it knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall heare it.
Paulo walapitilisha kubambileti, “Mwelela kwinshibeti beshikukambauka makani a lupulusho lwa Lesa, batumwa ku bantu bamishobo naimbi, pakwinga balo nibakanyumfwe!”
29 And when he had saide these things, the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning among themselues.
Paulo mpwalapwisha kwambeco Bayuda balafumapo kabaya kutotekeshana cangofu bene bonka.
30 And Paul remained two yeeres full in an house hired for himselfe, and receiued all that came in vnto him,
Paulo walekala kwa byaka bibili mu ng'anda njali kusonkela, bonse bantu balikwisa kumubona wali kubatambula cena.
31 Preaching the kingdome of God, and teaching those things which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all boldnesse of speache, without let.
Walikukambauka sha Bwami bwa Lesa, ne kubeyisha sha Mwami Yesu Klistu kwakubula buyowa, kayi paliya muntu walelekesha ku mukanisha sobwe.
