Acts 28
1 And when we were escaped, we ascertained that the island was called Malta.
Patwaiche kwa chitendewele ku nsanga, twaimanyi kuti chilumba chila chikuŵilanjikwa Melita.
2 The foreign-speaking people showed us uncommon kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain and because of the cold.
Ni ŵandu ŵangali lunda ŵatutendele yambone nnope. Ula jatandite kunya ni kwaliji ni mbepo, ŵatukolechesye mooto tujootele ni kutukalibisya.
3 Now when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and thrown them on the fire, a viper crawled out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Che Paolo ŵalokwete litenje lya sasu ni ŵasiŵisile pa mooto. Paŵaŵikaga, lijoka lyakopweche ligongo lya ntukuta wa mooto ula lyaliŵilijile pankono wakwe.
4 When the natives saw the reptile hanging on his hand, they began saying to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet justice does not allow him to live."
Ŵandu ŵa kweleko wo paŵaliweni lijoka lili nkuliŵilijila pankono wakwe ŵasalilene, “Kusyene mundu ju ali jwakuulaga, namuno akulupwiche mmeesi nambo chisasi cha nnungu jwetu jwankongwe jwakuŵilanjikwa Haki ngachikunneka alame.”
5 However, he shook off the reptile into the fire and received no harm.
Nambo che Paolo ŵalikung'undile lijoka lyo pa mooto ni nganilimpeteka namose kanandi.
6 But they kept expecting him to swell up or fall down dead suddenly. But after waiting a long time, and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said over and over that he was a god.
Ŵandu ŵala ŵaliji nkulolela kuti pane tuimbe nkono, pane chagwe ni kuwa papopo. Nambo paŵalolele nnope ni nganachiwona chindu chakwaŵenga chichapatile, ni ŵagalawisye ng'anisyo syao ni kuti ali jumo jwa achiminungu.
7 Now in the neighborhood there were estates belonging to the governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He received us and entertained us for three days courteously.
Pachiŵandi ni pepala kwaliji ni migunda ja jwankulu jwa chilumba chila jwakuŵilanjikwa che Pabulio. Mundu ju ŵatupochele yambone ni twatemi mu nyuumba jao ja achalendo kwa moŵa gatatu.
8 It happened however that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him and prayed and laid his hands on him and healed him.
Atati ŵao che Pabulio ŵaliji agonile ali nkulwala chiilu ni mmatumbo mwa miasi. Che Paolo ŵajawile kukwalola ni paŵamasile kupopela, ŵasajichile makono gao ni kunlamya.
9 After this all the other sick people on the island came, and continued to be restored to health.
Payakopochele yeleyo, iyoyo peyo ŵakulwala ŵajinji ŵaŵatamaga mu chilumba chila ŵaiche, nombewo ŵalamiswe.
10 These loaded us with many honors and, when at last we set sail, they put on board such things as we needed.
Ŵandu ŵala ŵatuchimbichisye nnope, ni katema patwatyokaga ŵatupele yose iyatusoŵile mu ulendo wetu.
11 Three months passed before we set sail an Alexandrian ship which had wintered in the island. Its name was "The Twin Brothers."
Pajapite miesi jitatu, twatandite sooni ulendo wetu kwa ngalaŵa jekulungwa jimo jijasigele mu chilumba mula, jichilindililaga gapite kaje moŵa ga mbepo. Ngalaŵa jila jakopochele ku Alekisandilia ni jaŵilanjikwe “Achiminungu Maŵila.”
12 And touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Twaiche ku Silakusa ni twatemi pelepo moŵa gatatu.
13 From thence, tacking round, we reached Rhegium. Next day a south wind sprang up, which brought us in a day to Puteoli.
Kutyochela pelepo twasyungwile mumbali ni twaiche ku Legio. Malaŵi jakwe jatandite kupuga mbungo kutyochela kulujenda ni pagapite moŵa gaŵili twaiche ku Puteoli.
14 There we found brothers who invited us to stay a week with them. Then we reached Rome.
Kweleko twasimene ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu achinjetu ni ŵatuchondelele tutame pamo nawo chijuma chimo. Kwanti nyi ni itwatite pakwika ku Loma.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard about us, came out to meet us as far as the Appian Forum and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them he thanked God and took courage.
Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Loma paŵapilikene ngani syetu ŵaiche mpaka Pakusumichisya Malonda che Apio ni ŵane ku Majumba Gatatu ga Achalendo kukutuchingamila. Che Paolo paŵaweni ŵelewo ŵaatogolele Akunnungu ni ŵalimbiswe ntima.
16 When we finally entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the soldier to guard him.
Patwaiche ku Loma ŵakundile kuti che Paolo atame pajikape pamo ni jwangondo juŵanlindililaga.
17 Now three days later he called the leading Jews together, and when they were come together he said to them. "Brothers, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of your fathers.
Pagapite moŵa gatatu che Paolo ŵaaŵilasile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵatamaga kweleko. Paŵasongangene pamo ni ŵaasalile, “Achalongo achinjangu, uneji nataŵikwe ku Yelusalemu kula ni kutagwa mmakono ga Ŵaloma namuno nganindende magambo gagaligose kwa ŵandu ŵangu pane kugapwanya masyoŵelo ga achambuje ŵetu.
18 "Then when they had examined me they wanted to set me at liberty because there was no cause of death in me.
Paŵamasile kuusyausya, Ŵaloma ŵasakaga kung'opola pakuŵa kwangu une nganagasimana magambo gakuŵajilwa kuulajikwa.
19 "But when the Jews objected I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything to accuse my nation of.
Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵakanile yeleyo, nasachile kulamulikwa ni Mwenye jwa ku Loma, nachiŵamuno nganingola chakwaŵechetela ŵandu ŵa musi wangu.
20 This is the reason why I begged you to see and speak with me. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
Kwaligongo lyo nanchondelele ŵanyamwe kuti tuonegane ni kuŵecheta nomwe pakuŵa ndaŵikwe kwa nyolo si ligongo lya chilolelo cha Ŵaisilaeli chiŵalanjile Akunnungu.”
21 They said to him. "We neither received any letters about you from Judea nor has any brother come hither to report or speak any harm of you.
Ni ŵanyawo ŵatite “Uweji nganitupochele chikalata kutyochela ku Yudea nkati alakwe atamuno achinjetu ŵaŵaiche akuno kukutusalila pane kuŵecheta chindu chakusakala nkati alakwe.
22 "But we are eager to hear from you what it is that you believe; for we all know that as for this sect it is everywhere spoken against."
Nambo tukusaka kupilikana pakang'wa penu inkuti paaganisya pakuŵa tukumanyilila kuti palipose akusala kuti mpingo wo uli wangalumbana.”
23 So they arranged a day with him and came to him in his lodgings in great numbers. He expounded the matter to them; testifying to the Kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, from morning till evening, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
Nipele ŵasagwile lyuŵa lya kuchingangana ni che Paolo ni ŵaiche ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ku nyuumba kuŵatamaga. Kutandila kundaŵi mpaka ligulo che Paolo ŵaliji nkwasalila yejinji ya Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwajiganya ngani sya Che Yesu kutyochela mmalajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu achisakaga kwanyenga kuti ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
24 Some began to believe what he said, but some were unbelieving.
Ŵane ŵajitichisye iŵasalilaga yo nambo ŵane ŵakanile.
25 Unable to agree among themselves, they began to go, but not before Paul had spoken a word to them, saying. "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your ancestors, through the prophet Isaiah.
Nipele nganajiilana achinsyene pe, ni ŵatyosile pelepo pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaasalile, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵasasile usyene kwa achambuje ŵenu kwa kang'wa ja jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu che Isaya,
26 "Go to the people and tell them, You will hear and hear, and by no means understand; And will look, and by no means see.
achitiji, ‘Njaule kwa ŵandu ŵa nkaasalile, kupilikana chimpilikane, nambo ngasammanyilila, Kulola chinnole nambo ngasambona.
27 For this people’s heart is grown obtuse, Their ears are heavy of hearing, Their eyes have they closed, Lest they should see with their eyes And hear with their ears, Lest they understand with their heart, And turn again, and heal them.
Pakuŵa mitima ja ŵandu ŵa jilimbile, asiŵilile mawiwi gao ni meeso gao gasisine. Melepe akasaona kwa meeso gao, akasapilikana kwa mawiwi gao, akasamanyilila kwa mitima jao, akasapitikuchila kwa une, noneji ngalamisye.’”
28 "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation of God is now sent unto the Gentiles. They will listen to it."
Nombe che Paolo ŵatite sooni, “Mmanyilile ŵanyamwe kuti, ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu wu wejausye kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, nombewo chaupilikane!”
29 When he finished speaking, the Jews departed, and reasoned among themselves.
Che Paolo paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Ŵayahudi ŵakopweche ali nkukanilana nnope achinsyene pe.
30 After this Paul lived for two whole years in his own rented house, and used to receive all who came to see him.
Nipele che Paolo ŵatemi yaka iŵili mu nyuumba jiŵalipilaga jila. Ni ŵaapochele ŵandu wose ŵaŵaikaga kukwalola.
31 He continued to preach the kingdom of God, and to teach about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, quite unmolested.
Ŵalalichilaga ŵandu ngani ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwajiganya ŵandu nkati Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito pangajogopa ni nganapagwa jwannekasisye.
