Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Mpotwalapuluka ne kushika cena ku mutunta, bantu bakusa balatwambileti, kuno ku mutunta nkomubele nipa nsumbu ikute kukwiweti Melita.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Bantu aba balikuba baina myoyo. Balatutambula cena, balatukunkila mulilo pakwinga kwalikuba mpepo cebo ca mfula yali kuloka.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened 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 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
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 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Paulo waisansamwina pamulilo, uliya kulingwapo sobwe.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said 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 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
Capepi napo mpotwalikuba, palikuba mabala amutangunishi wapa nsumbu ya Melita walikukwiweti Pabulosi. Walatutambula ca makasa abili, twalekala nendi masuba atatu.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, 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 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Panyuma mpocalenshika ici bantu bonse balikukolwa malwashi pansumbu apa, balatatika kwisa kuli Paulo, kayi balasengulwa.
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
Balatulemekesha munshila shingi. Mpotwalengila mu bwato bunene kwambeti twenga, balatubikilamo bintu nabimbi byalikuyandika pa bulwendo bwetu.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
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 having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Mpotwalashika ku munshi wa Sulakusa, twalekalako masuba atatu.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
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, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
Uko twalacanako banse abo balatusengeti, twikale nabo kwa nsondo imo. Twalatatika bulwendo bwetu bwa mapwililisho pakuya kushika ku Loma.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
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 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Mpotwalashika ku Loma, Paulo balamusuminisha kwikala enka kalondwa ne mushilikali.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
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 having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
Baloma mpobalanjipusha mipusho kwambeti benshibe makani ncabele, balayanda kunsungulula pakwinga baliya kucana mulandu ngondelela kufwilapo.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything 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, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Ecebo cakendi ncondamukuwili kwambeti ng'ambe ne njamwe. Ame ndasungwa ncetani cebo ca muntuyo ngobalapembelelenga Baislayeli bonse.”
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
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 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Nomba tulayandanga kulinyumfwila tobene miyeyo yakobe, pakwinga tucinshi kwambeti kulikonse bantu balambangeti mu likoto mobele nkalilipo cena sobwe.”
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
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, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Nabambi batangunishi balashoma makani ngalikwamba Paulo, nsombi nabambi baliya kwashoma sobwe.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to 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, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
“Koya ku bantu aba ubambileti, kunyumfwa nimukanyumfwenga, nsombi nteti mukanyumfwishishenga sobwe. Kubona nimukabonenga, nsombi nteti mukabonesheshenga sobwe.
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal 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 known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
Paulo walapitilisha kubambileti, “Mwelela kwinshibeti beshikukambauka makani a lupulusho lwa Lesa, batumwa ku bantu bamishobo naimbi, pakwinga balo nibakanyumfwe!”
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
Paulo mpwalapwisha kwambeco Bayuda balafumapo kabaya kutotekeshana cangofu bene bonka.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Paulo walekala kwa byaka bibili mu ng'anda njali kusonkela, bonse bantu balikwisa kumubona wali kubatambula cena.
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
Walikukambauka sha Bwami bwa Lesa, ne kubeyisha sha Mwami Yesu Klistu kwakubula buyowa, kayi paliya muntu walelekesha ku mukanisha sobwe.
