< Acts 28 >
1 When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
Are xujopan chuchiꞌ ri jaꞌ pa ri utz ulew xqetaꞌmaj chi uj kꞌo pa ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew ubꞌiꞌ Malta, qonojel utz qawach.
2 The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
Ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ sibꞌalaj utz qachꞌabꞌexik xkibꞌano. Xkitzij jun qꞌaqꞌ, kꞌa te riꞌ xujkisikꞌij qonojel rech kaqamiqꞌ qibꞌ rumal cher sibꞌalaj tew.
3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Ri Pablo xukꞌam apanoq kebꞌ oxibꞌ chaqiꞌj siꞌ, tajin kꞌu kuya pa ri qꞌaqꞌ, xaq kꞌa teꞌ xel loq jun kumatz chuxoꞌl ri siꞌ, xanimaj loq cho ri qꞌaqꞌ, xutiꞌ ri Pablo che ri uqꞌabꞌ.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
Ri winaq ri e kꞌo pa cho ri chꞌaqaꞌp ulew are xkil ri kumatz tzayal che ri uqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo, xkibꞌij chibꞌil taq kibꞌ: Waꞌ we achi riꞌ jun kamisanel, pune man xkam ta kan pa ri plo, kamik kꞌut kutoj na ri etzelal ubꞌanom, kakam laꞌ.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Ri Pablo kꞌut xutota ri uqꞌabꞌ, xqaj ri kumatz pa ri qꞌaqꞌ, man kꞌo ta kꞌu jas xubꞌano.
6 But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
Konojel ri winaq kayeꞌm chi kasipoj ri uqꞌabꞌ ri Pablo, o xaq kꞌa teꞌ katzaqik, kakamik. Naj riꞌ xkayeꞌj na jas kubꞌano. Are xkilo chi man kꞌo ta jas jun kꞌax xuriqo, xkikꞌex kichomanik, xkibꞌij chi ri Pablo are jun dios.
7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
Chunaqaj ri kꞌolibꞌal riꞌ xujopan wi, kꞌo ri rulew ri achi ubꞌiꞌ Plubio kinimal ri winaq ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ pa ri tinimit. Areꞌ sibꞌalaj utz xubꞌan che qakꞌulaxik pa ri rachoch, oxibꞌ qꞌij kꞌut xujrilij rukꞌ utzilal.
8 It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
Yawabꞌ kꞌu ri utat ri Publio, kꞌo pa chꞌat. Kꞌo qꞌaqꞌ chrij, xuqujeꞌ sibꞌalaj kikꞌ kupamaj. Xeꞌ kꞌu ri Pablo chi rilik, xubꞌan chꞌawem xuya ri uqꞌabꞌ puꞌwiꞌ, xkunataj kꞌu ri achi.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
Rumal waꞌ we xbꞌantajik, xepe konojel ri yawabꞌibꞌ ri e kꞌo chilaꞌ pa ri tinimit riꞌ, xekunataj kꞌut.
10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Konojel ri winaq sibꞌalaj nim xujkil wi, kꞌi ri xkisipaj chaqe. Are xujel bꞌik chilaꞌ xujeꞌ chi pa jun jukubꞌ chik, ri winaq xkiya bꞌik ronojel ri rajawaxik chaqe pa ri qabꞌinem.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
Oxibꞌ ikꞌ xujkꞌoji na chilaꞌ pa Malta, kꞌa te riꞌ xujok pa jun jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal aj Alejandría ri karikꞌowisaj ri qꞌalaj chilaꞌ. We jukubꞌ bꞌinibꞌal riꞌ kojtal ri upalaj ri dios Cástor choch, rachiꞌl ri dios Pólux che retal.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Xujopan kꞌu pa ri tinimit Siracusa ri kꞌo chiꞌ ri plo. Chilaꞌ xujkanaj wi kan oxibꞌ qꞌij.
13 From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Xujel bꞌik chilaꞌ, xqataqej kꞌu ri qabꞌe pa ri plo chunaqaj ri taqꞌaj kꞌa xujopan na pa ri tinimit Regio. Che ri jun qꞌij chik xpe jun kyaqiqꞌ chaqij pa ri umox ri relibꞌal qꞌij, chukabꞌ qꞌij kꞌut xujopan pa ri tinimit Puteoli.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Chilaꞌ kꞌut pa Puteoli xeꞌqariq wi jujun qachalal kojonelabꞌ. Xkibꞌij kꞌu chaqe kujkanaj wuqubꞌ qꞌij kukꞌ. Jeꞌ xqabꞌano, kꞌa te riꞌ xujeꞌ pa ri tinimit Roma.
15 From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
Ri qachalal pa Roma kitom chik chi kujopanik, xujul kikꞌulaj pa bꞌe, xqariq kꞌu qibꞌ pa ri alaj tinimit ubꞌiꞌ Apio, xuqujeꞌ jun kꞌolibꞌal ri kabꞌix oxibꞌ ja kꞌayibꞌal. Xtyoxin ri Pablo che ri Dios are xeꞌril ri alaxik.
16 When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Are xujopan pa ri tinimit Roma, ri Julio ri achi ri kataqan pa kiwiꞌ ri ajchꞌoꞌjabꞌ chajil tinimit, xuꞌjach ri e kꞌo pa cheꞌ. Ri Pablo kꞌut xya bꞌe che kakꞌojiꞌ utukel pa jun ja. Xchajix kꞌu rumal jun ajchꞌoꞌj chajil tinimit.
17 It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
Oxibꞌ qꞌij chik kꞌo ri Pablo pa Roma are xtaqan che kisikꞌixik ri kinimaꞌqil ri winaq aꞌj Israel ri e kꞌo pa Roma. Are xkimulij kibꞌ, ri Pablo xubꞌij chike: Qachalal, ri in man kꞌo ta jas jun kꞌax xinbꞌan chike ri qawinaqil aꞌj Israel, man kꞌo ta kꞌu nubꞌim chrij ri e naqꞌatal wi ri qamam ojer. Pune jeriꞌ xinokisax kꞌu pa cheꞌ pa ri tinimit Jerusalén, kꞌa te riꞌ xinjach loq pa kiqꞌabꞌ ri winaq aꞌj Roma.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Are xkikꞌot nuchiꞌ, xkaj xinkitzoqopij rumal cher man kꞌo ta numak xkiriqo ri yaꞌtal wi kinkamisaxik.
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Are kꞌu ri winaq aꞌj Israel man xkaj taj xintzoqopixik. Rumal riꞌ rajawaxik wi xinbꞌij chi are ri César, ri nimalaj taqanel puꞌwiꞌ Roma, kaqꞌatow na tzij pa nuwiꞌ. Rumal waꞌ in kꞌo waral, man are taj kinbꞌij chi kꞌo kimak ri nuwinaqil.
20 For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
Rumal kꞌu riꞌ xintaqan chisikꞌixik, rech kinwil iwach, xuqujeꞌ kintzijon iwukꞌ. Rumal kꞌu rech ri kuꞌlibꞌal qakꞌuꞌx qonojel ri uj aꞌj Israel, ri in in ximtal rukꞌ we ximbꞌal chꞌichꞌ riꞌ, xcha ri Pablo.
21 They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
Aꞌreꞌ xkibꞌij che ri Pablo: Man kꞌo ta jun wuj ri petinaq pa Judea qakꞌamom ri kꞌo jas kubꞌij chawij, xuqujeꞌ man kꞌo ta jun chike ri qachalal ri e petinaq je laꞌ, ri ulinaq waral, ri umolom amak chaqe.
22 But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
Kaqaj kꞌut kaqato jas ri kachomaj, qetaꞌm chi pa ronojel tinimit kꞌax kechꞌaw ri winaq chrij we kꞌakꞌ kꞌutuꞌn riꞌ, xechaꞌ.
23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
Xkichaꞌ kꞌu jun qꞌij rech koꞌpan rukꞌ ri Pablo. E kꞌi kꞌut xoꞌpan rukꞌ pa ri ja jawjeꞌ ri kꞌo wi. Ri Pablo kꞌut xutzijoj chike ri utaqanik ri Dios pa kiwiꞌ ri winaq.

24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Jujun xkikꞌamawaꞌj jas ri xubꞌij ri Pablo, xkikojo, jujun chik man xkikoj taj.
25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
Man xjunamataj ta kꞌu ri kichomanik konojel, xa jeriꞌ noꞌjim xkichapleꞌj elem bꞌik. Are kꞌu ri Pablo xubꞌij chike: Qas tzij ri xubꞌij ri Uxlabꞌixel chike ri qamam ojer chuchiꞌ ri qaqꞌalajisal utzij ri Dios Isaías:
26 saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
Jat, jaꞌbꞌij chike we winaq riꞌ: Pune kitatabꞌej, man kichꞌobꞌ ta kꞌu ri kito. Pune kixkaꞌyik, man kixkwin ta kꞌu chuchꞌobꞌik ri kiwilo.
27 For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
Rumal chi ri kanimaꞌ we winaq riꞌ kowirinaq chik. Kitzꞌapim ri kixikin xuqujeꞌ kichꞌuqum ri kibꞌoqꞌoch rech man kekaꞌy taj, xuqujeꞌ rech man kakita taj, rech man kakichꞌobꞌ taj rech man ketzalij ta wukꞌ rech makekunataj taj.
28 "Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
Chiwetaꞌmaj bꞌa chi ri utz laj tzij rech ri Evangelio ri kutoꞌ ri winaq, katzijox na chike ri nikꞌaj winaq chik ri man aꞌj Israel taj. Aꞌreꞌ kꞌut kakitatabꞌej na.
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
Are xbꞌiꞌtaj waꞌ we tzij riꞌ rumal ri Pablo, konojel ri winaq aꞌj Israel xeꞌl bꞌik, sibꞌalaj xkichomaj rij ri xubꞌij ri Pablo chike.
30 And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
Kebꞌ junabꞌ kꞌut xkꞌojiꞌ na ri Pablo pa Roma pa jun qajom ja. Utz xubꞌan che kikꞌulaxik konojel ri xoꞌpan chuchꞌabꞌexik.
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
