< Acts 28 >
1 And having escaped, we learned that the island was called Melita.
ཨིཏྠཾ སཪྻྭེཥུ རཀྵཱཾ པྲཱཔྟེཥུ ཏཏྲཏྱོཔདྭཱིཔསྱ ནཱམ མིལཱིཏེཏི ཏེ ཛྙཱཏཝནྟཿ།
2 And the barbarians showed us no little kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the rain which had come on, and because of the cold.
ཨསབྷྱལོཀཱ ཡཐེཥྚམ྄ ཨནུཀམྤཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཝརྟྟམཱནཝྲྀཥྚེཿ ཤཱིཏཱཙྩ ཝཧྣིཾ པྲཛྫྭཱལྱཱསྨཱཀམ྄ ཨཱཏིཐྱམ྄ ཨཀུཪྻྭན྄།
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid it on the fire, there came forth a viper by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
ཀིནྟུ པཽལ ཨིནྡྷནཱནི སཾགྲྀཧྱ ཡདཱ ཏསྨིན྄ ཨགྲཽ ནིརཀྵིཔཏ྄, ཏདཱ ཝཧྣེཿ པྲཏཱཔཱཏ྄ ཨེཀཿ ཀྲྀཥྞསརྤོ ནིརྒཏྱ ཏསྱ ཧསྟེ དྲཥྚཝཱན྄།
4 And when the barbarians saw the animal hanging from his hand, they said to one another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom though he hath escaped the sea, Justice hath not permitted to live.
ཏེ྅སབྷྱལོཀཱསྟསྱ ཧསྟེ སརྤམ྄ ཨཝལམྦམཱནཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པརསྤརམ྄ ཨུཀྟཝནྟ ཨེཥ ཛནོ྅ཝཤྱཾ ནརཧཱ བྷཝིཥྱཏི, ཡཏོ ཡདྱཔི ཛལདྷེ རཀྵཱཾ པྲཱཔྟཝཱན྄ ཏཐཱཔི པྲཏིཕལདཱཡཀ ཨེནཾ ཛཱིཝིཏུཾ ན དདཱཏི།
5 He, however, shaking off the animal into the fire suffered no harm.
ཀིནྟུ ས ཧསྟཾ ཝིདྷུནྭན྄ ཏཾ སརྤམ྄ ཨགྣིམདྷྱེ ནིཀྵིཔྱ ཀཱམཔི པཱིཌཱཾ ནཱཔྟཝཱན྄།
6 But they were looking for his becoming swollen, or suddenly falling down dead. But after looking a great while, and seeing no harm come to him they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
ཏཏོ ཝིཥཛྭཱལཡཱ ཨེཏསྱ ཤརཱིརཾ སྥཱིཏཾ བྷཝིཥྱཏི ཡདྭཱ ཧཋཱདཡཾ པྲཱཎཱན྄ ཏྱཀྵྱཏཱིཏི ནིཤྩིཏྱ ལོཀཱ བཧུཀྵཎཱནི ཡཱཝཏ྄ ཏད྄ དྲཥྚུཾ སྠིཏཝནྟཿ ཀིནྟུ ཏསྱ ཀསྱཱཤྩིད྄ ཝིཔདོ྅གྷཊནཱཏ྄ ཏེ ཏདྭིཔརཱིཏཾ ཝིཛྙཱཡ བྷཱཥིཏཝནྟ ཨེཥ ཀཤྩིད྄ དེཝོ བྷཝེཏ྄།
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands be longing to the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who welcomed us, and entertained us kindly three days.
པུབླིཡནཱམཱ ཛན ཨེཀསྟསྱོཔདྭཱིཔསྱཱདྷིཔཏིརཱསཱིཏ྄ ཏཏྲ ཏསྱ བྷཱུམྱཱདི ཙ སྠིཏཾ། ས ཛནོ྅སྨཱན྄ ནིཛགྲྀཧཾ ནཱིཏྭཱ སཽཛནྱཾ པྲཀཱཤྱ དིནཏྲཡཾ ཡཱཝད྄ ཨསྨཱཀཾ ཨཱཏིཐྱམ྄ ཨཀརོཏ྄།
8 And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with a fever and dysentery; to whom Paul went in, and, when he had prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
ཏདཱ ཏསྱ པུབླིཡསྱ པིཏཱ ཛྭརཱཏིསཱརེཎ པཱིཌྱམཱནཿ སན྄ ཤཡྻཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱསཱིཏ྄; ཏཏཿ པཽལསྟསྱ སམཱིཔཾ གཏྭཱ པྲཱརྠནཱཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ ཏསྱ གཱཏྲེ ཧསྟཾ སམརྤྱ ཏཾ སྭསྠཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄།
9 And when this was done, the others also who had diseases in the island came, and were healed;
ཨིཏྠཾ བྷཱུཏེ ཏདྭཱིཔནིཝཱསིན ཨིཏརེཔི རོགིལོཀཱ ཨཱགཏྱ ནིརཱམཡཱ ཨབྷཝན྄།
10 who also honored us with many honors, and when we put to sea, loaded us with such things as were necessary.
ཏསྨཱཏྟེ྅སྨཱཀམ྄ ཨཏཱིཝ སཏྐཱརཾ ཀྲྀཏཝནྟཿ, ཝིཤེཥཏཿ པྲསྠཱནསམཡེ པྲཡོཛནཱིཡཱནི ནཱནདྲཝྱཱཎི དཏྟཝནྟཿ།
11 And after three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
ཨིཏྠཾ ཏཏྲ ཏྲིཥུ མཱསེཥུ གཏེཥུ ཡསྱ ཙིཧྣཾ དིཡསྐཱུརཱི ཏཱདྲྀཤ ཨེཀཿ སིཀནྡརཱིཡནགརསྱ པོཏཿ ཤཱིཏཀཱལཾ ཡཱཔཡན྄ ཏསྨིན྄ ཨུཔདྭཱིཔེ ྅ཏིཥྛཏ྄ ཏམེཝ པོཏཾ ཝཡམ྄ ཨཱརུཧྱ ཡཱཏྲཱམ྄ ཨཀུརྨྨ།
12 And landing at Syracuse, we stayed there three days;
ཏཏཿ པྲཐམཏཿ སུརཱཀཱུསནགརམ྄ ཨུཔསྠཱཡ ཏཏྲ ཏྲཱིཎི དིནཱནི སྠིཏཝནྟཿ།
13 and from thence we made a circuit, and came to Rhegium; and after one day a south wind arose, and we came on the second day to Puteoli,
ཏསྨཱད྄ ཨཱཝྲྀཏྱ རཱིགིཡནགརམ྄ ཨུཔསྠིཏཱཿ དིནཻཀསྨཱཏ྄ པརཾ དཀྵིཎཝཡཽ སཱནུཀཱུལྱེ སཏི པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ པཏིཡལཱིནགརམ྄ ཨུཔཱཏིཥྛཱམ།
14 where we found brethren, and were entreated to remain with them seven days; and so we went toward Rome.
ཏཏོ྅སྨཱསུ ཏཏྲཏྱཾ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎཾ པྲཱཔྟེཥུ ཏེ སྭཻཿ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨསྨཱན྄ སཔྟ དིནཱནི སྠཱཔཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཡཏནྟ, ཨིཏྠཾ ཝཡཾ རོམཱནགརམ྄ པྲཏྱགཙྪཱམ།
15 And from thence, the brethren having heard of us came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns; at the sight of whom Paul thanked God and took courage.
ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏཏྲཏྱཱཿ བྷྲཱཏརོ྅སྨཱཀམ྄ ཨཱགམནཝཱརྟྟཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཨཱཔྤིཡཕརཾ ཏྲིཥྚཱཝརྞཱིཉྩ ཡཱཝད྄ ཨགྲེསརཱཿ སནྟོསྨཱན྄ སཱཀྵཱཏ྄ ཀརྟྟུམ྄ ཨཱགམན྄; ཏེཥཱཾ དརྴནཱཏ྄ པཽལ ཨཱིཤྭརཾ དྷནྱཾ ཝདན྄ ཨཱཤྭཱསམ྄ ཨཱཔྟཝཱན྄།
16 And when we had come to Rome, Paul was permitted to dwell by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.
ཨསྨཱསུ རོམཱནགརཾ གཏེཥུ ཤཏསེནཱཔཏིཿ སཪྻྭཱན྄ བནྡཱིན྄ པྲདྷཱནསེནཱཔཏེཿ སམཱིཔེ སམཱརྤཡཏ྄ ཀིནྟུ པཽལཱཡ སྭརཀྵཀཔདཱཏིནཱ སཧ པྲྀཐག྄ ཝསྟུམ྄ ཨནུམཏིཾ དཏྟཝཱན྄།
17 And it came to pass that after three days he called together the chief men of the Jews, and when they had met he said to them, Brethren, I, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was delivered up a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
དིནཏྲཡཱཏ྄ པརཾ པཽལསྟདྡེཤསྠཱན྄ པྲདྷཱནཡིཧཱུདིན ཨཱཧཱུཏཝཱན྄ ཏཏསྟེཥུ སམུཔསྠིཏེཥུ ས ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, ཧེ བྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎ ནིཛལོཀཱནཱཾ པཱུཪྻྭཔུརུཥཱཎཱཾ ཝཱ རཱིཏེ ཪྻིཔརཱིཏཾ ཀིཉྩན ཀརྨྨཱཧཾ ནཱཀརཝཾ ཏཐཱཔི ཡིརཱུཤཱལམནིཝཱསིནོ ལོཀཱ མཱཾ བནྡིཾ ཀྲྀཏྭཱ རོམིལོཀཱནཱཾ ཧསྟེཥུ སམརྤིཏཝནྟཿ།
18 who, when they had examined me, wished to release me, because I had done nothing deserving death.
རོམིལོཀཱ ཝིཙཱཪྻྱ མམ པྲཱཎཧནནཱརྷཾ ཀིམཔི ཀཱརཎཾ ན པྲཱཔྱ མཱཾ མོཙཡིཏུམ྄ ཨཻཙྪན྄;
19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
ཀིནྟུ ཡིཧཱུདིལོཀཱནཱམ྄ ཨཱཔཏྟྱཱ མཡཱ ཀཻསརརཱཛསྱ སམཱིཔེ ཝིཙཱརསྱ པྲཱརྠནཱ ཀརྟྟཝྱཱ ཛཱཏཱ ནོཙེཏ྄ ནིཛདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ པྲཏི མམ ཀོཔྱབྷིཡོགོ ནཱསྟི།
20 For this reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak to you; for it is on account of the hope of Israel that I am bound with this chain.
ཨེཏཏྐཱརཎཱད྄ ཨཧཾ ཡུཥྨཱན྄ དྲཥྚུཾ སཾལཔིཏུཉྩཱཧཱུཡམ྄ ཨིསྲཱཡེལྭཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ པྲཏྱཱཤཱཧེཏོཧམ྄ ཨེཏེན ཤུངྑལེན བདྡྷོ྅བྷཝམ྄།
21 And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, nor did any one of the brethren that came report or speak any evil of thee.
ཏདཱ ཏེ ཏམ྄ ཨཝཱདིཥུཿ, ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡདེཤཱད྄ ཝཡཾ ཏྭཱམདྷི ཀིམཔི པཏྲཾ ན པྲཱཔྟཱ ཡེ བྷྲཱཏརཿ སམཱཡཱཏཱསྟེཥཱཾ ཀོཔི ཏཝ ཀཱམཔི ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ ནཱཝདཏ྄ ཨབྷདྲམཔི ནཱཀཐཡཙྩ།
22 But we think it proper to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for with regard to this sect, we know that it is everywhere spoken against.

23 And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, and earnestly testified, the kingdom of God, endeavoring to persuade them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses, and from the Prophets, from morning till evening.

24 And some believed the things spoken, and some believed not.
ཀེཙིཏྟུ ཏསྱ ཀཐཱཾ པྲཏྱཱཡན྄ ཀེཙིཏྟུ ན པྲཏྱཱཡན྄;
25 So, disagreeing with one another, they took their departure, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers,

26 saying, “Go to this people, and say, 'Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.

27 For the heart of this people hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn from their ways, and I should heal them.'”

28 Be it therefore known to you, that to the gentiles this salvation of God hath been sent; they, moreover, will hear.
