< Acts 28 >

1 When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
Ie nihaha amy varatay, le naharendreke te atao Melita i tokonosey.
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.
Nisoa ty fitretreza’ o tompo-taneo: ie namiañe afo naho nanao an-traño anay, amy te niavy ty orañe vaho nangoratsake.
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.
Nanontoñe fehen-katae t’i Paoly naho napo’e añ’afo ao, fe nakare’ i hafanañey ty mereñe nipitek’ am-pità’e eo.
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."
Ie niisa’ o tompo-taneo i mereñe niradorado am-pità’ey, le hoe ty vesoveso’ iareo: Tsy mete tsy mpamono, ondatio, le ndra t’ie nivotso­tse amy riakey tsy nenga’ ty toly ho veloñe.
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
Fe nahifi’e añ’afo ao i mereñey, le tsy niore.
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.
Nitokoe’ iereo ke hiboenatse hera hikorovoke hikenkañe aniany, f’ie nandiñe ela naho tsy nahaoniñan-joy, le nibalintoa ty fivetsevetse’ iareo vaho ndrañahare ka ty nanoeñ’ aze.
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.
Marine eo ty tane’ i mpiaolo i tokonoseiy, Poplio ty tahina’e. Nandrambe anay antalatala-saba re naho nanoe’e añ’ anjomba’e telo andro.
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.
Ie amy zao, natindry ty hamae-sandriñe naho niazo’ ty tsora-dio ty rae’ i Poplio. Nimoak’ ama’e ao t’i Paoly, le nihalaly naho nampitongoa’e fitàñe, nampi­jangañ’ aze.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
Heneke izay, le songa nipoteake eo ze narare ila’e amy tokonosey vaho nijanganeñe.
10 They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Nanoly fiasiañe ama’ay iereo, le ie ho nionjoñe, natoro’ iereo ze he’e pinai’ay.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
Ie nahamodo telo volañe, le nionjoñe ami’ty lakañe niasotry amy tokonosey. Nte-Aleksandria i lakañey le i Mpihambañe rey ro viloñe andoha’e eo.
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Ie nitoly e Sirakosa, le nitofa telo andro.
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,
Boak’ ao, nañariary naho nivotrake e Regioma, aa ie nahamodo andro raike, le namaoke ty tiok’ atimo, vaho nipotìtse e Potioly añe amy loak’ àndroy;
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Nanjo roahalahy eo zahay, naho nampihovae’ iereo hañialo ao fito andro; izay vaho nionjoñe mb’e Roma mb’eo.
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.
Aa ie nahajanjiñe ty ama’ay o roahalahy añeo, le nihitrike naho nifanalaka ama’ay an-Tsenan’ Apio, amy Hotely Teloy; aa ie tendreke i roahalahy rey t’i Paoly le nañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare vaho nirearea an-troke.
16 When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
Ie nandoake e Roma ao, le nengañe hiambesatse ie raike t’i Paoly mindre amy lahin-defoñe mpiambeñe azey.
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,
Ie nimodo ty telo andro le kinai’ i Paoly o mpiaolo’ o Jiosio, aa naho nifanontoñe, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ry roahalahy, ndra te tsy nandilatse am’ondatio ndra amo satan-droaen-tikañeo iraho, le nasese an-drohy boak’ Ierosaleme ao mb’am-pità’ o nte-Romao.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Nalohi’ iareo, le ho hinaha amy te tsy aman-taly hamonoañe ahy.
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.
Fe nanjehatse o Tehodao, le nazitse iraho hipay to amy Kaisara—tsy t’ie hanese sisý amy tanekoy.
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."
Izay ty nikanjiako anahareo hifankaoniñe naho hifanaontsy. Fa ty fitamàko Israele ty nandrohizañe ahy amo silisilio.
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.
Hoe iareo tama’e: Mbe tsy nandrambe taratasy boake Iehodà ty ama’o zahay, vaho tsy amo roa­halahy boak’ añeo ty nitalily ndra nisaontsy raha tsy mete ty ama’o,
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."
f’ie te hijanjiñe azo, o fivetsevetse’oo, fa i firimboñañe zay, fohi’ay te mavoeñe tok’aia tok’aia.
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.
Ie nifamantañe andro, le maro ty niheo mb’añ’akiba’e mb’eo, le nampalangese’e am’iereo an-taroñe i Fifehean’ Añaharey, le nima­nea’e osike ty amy Iesoà boak’ amy Hà’ i Mosè naho hirik’ amo Mpitokio handro pak’ amy hàleñey.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Niantoke i enta’ey ty ila’e; tsy nipaoke ka ty ila’e.
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,
Ie nifanao lie-drokoñe, naho ho niavotse, le nagado’ i Paoly ami’ty saontsy zao: To ty nisaontsie’ i Arofo Masiñey añam’ Isaia mpitoky aman-droae’ areo, ty hoe:
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.
Akia am’ondaty retiañe naho taroño ty hoe: Hijanjiñe nainai’e nahareo fe tsy hahafohiñe, vaho hitolom-pañisake f’ie tsy hahaoniñe.
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.'
Fa gàñe ty arofo’ ondaty retiañe; le mivalagìñe o ravembia’eo, mbore nakipe’e o fihaino’eo. Tsy mone hahaoniñe am-pihaino, naho hahajanjiñe an-dravembia, naho hahafohiñe añ’arofo, naho hibalintoa, vaho ho jangañeko iereo.
28 "Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
Mahafohina arè, te nafantoke ho amo kilakila’ ndatio o fandrombahan’ Añahareo, ie ro hijanjiñe!
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
Nimoneñe roe taoñe garagadìñe añ’anjomba nafondro’e ao re vaho nampihovà’e iaby ze niheo mb’ama’e,
31 proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
nitaroñe i Fifehean’ Añaharey naho nañoke i Talè Iesoà Norizañey am-pidadàñe vaho tsy nisebañeñe.
