Acts 28
1 When we were all safe, we found that the island was called Malta.
Jejile chakingibhwa kisi, niwo nichimenya ati lisinga elibhilikilwa Malta.
2 The island’s people showed us marked kindness, for they lit a fire and took us all under shelter, because it had come on to rain and was cold.
Abhanu abhenengo abhende aliya atali ati bhachilamie kwo bhwila bhunu bhwiile, nawe bhakongesishe omulilo no kuchifogesha bhona, kunsonga ya ing'ubha na imbheyo inu yaliga nigendelela.
3 Paul had gathered a quantity of dry sticks and laid them on the fire, when a poisonous snake, driven out by the heat, fastened on his hand.
Mbe nawe Paulo anu aliga nakumanya liganda lya jing'wi no kulita mu mulilo, injoka noto eya isumu nisoka mung'wi jilya kwa insonga ya libhila-bhila lilya, na nimwisingilila kukubhoko kwae.
4 When the islanders saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Evidently this man is a murderer, for though he has been saved from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live.”
Abhanu abhenengo bha alia bhejile bhalola intyanyi yenenele okusoka ku kubhoko kwae, abhanu nibhaika abhene kwa bhene, “Omunu unu Ni chimali Ni mwiti Nolwo kutyo( akila) mu nyanja, nawe echimali chitamusiga kubha muanga.”
5 However, Paul shook the creature off into the fire and took no harm.
Mbe nawe mwenene nailasa mu mulilo intyanyi eyo Nolwo omwene atabhwene mauta gonna gona.
6 The islanders were expecting inflammation to set in, or that he would suddenly fall dead; but, after waiting for a long time, and seeing that there was nothing amiss with him, they changed their minds and said that he was a God.
Abhene bhaliga nibhalindilila ati kafwimba kwo muswija amwi bhwangu kajokugwa no kufwa. Mbe nawe bhejile bhamulola kwo mwanya mulela na mbhalola ati gutalio musango gunu gutali gwe chimile ku mwene, nibhaindula ameganilisho gebhwe no kwaika ati aliga ali mungu.
7 In that region there was an estate belonging to the Governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He took us up to his house, and for three days entertained us most courteously.
Mbe ayei na libhala lilya bhwaliga bhulio obhusi bhunu gwaliga guli mugabho gwo omukulu wa lisinga, omunu oyo aliga natogwa Pablio. Achifogesishe no kuchifogesha kwa naku esatu.
8 It happened that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him; and, after praying, he placed his hands on him and cured him.
Jabhonekene ati esemwene Pablio agwatilwe omuswija no bhulwae bho kuchugula. Nawe Paulo ejile amujako, nasabhwa, no mutelako amabhoko gae, no kumwiulisha.
9 After this, all the people in the island who had any illness came to Paul, and were cured.
Wejile jabhonekana jinu, abhanu abhandi kwi singa lilya bhanu bhaliga nibhasibhwa nibhagenda na nibheulisibhwa.
10 They also presented us with many gifts, and when we set sail they put supplies of necessaries on board.
Abhanu nibhachiyana echibhalo kwe chibhalo chafu. Anu chaliga nichenda okugenda mulugendo, bhachiyanile bhinu chaliga chikenele.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was an Alexandrian vessel, and had the Twin sons of Zeus for her figure-head.
Wejile gatulao mesi gasatu, chagendele mu lugendo lwa mu meli eya Iskanda inu yaliga yabhumilwe na imbeyo ao mwisiga, inu abhatangasha bhae bhaliga bhali Bhaili bhabhili abha malongo.
12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days,
Wejile chakinga mu musi ogwa Sirakusa, chenyanjile alia naku esatu.
13 and from there we worked to windward and so got to Rhegium. A day later a south wind sprang up and took us to Puteoli in two days.
Okusokelelao nichigenda nichikinga mu musi ogwa Regio. Nichimalao lunaku lumwi omuyaga gwo mulimbe nigubhonekana ao nao, Wejile jatulao naku ebhili nichikinga mu musi ogwa Putoli.
14 There we found some of the Lord’s followers, and were urged to stay a week with them; after which we went on to Rome.
Eyo nichibhasanga abhaili abhandi na nibhachifogesha okwinyanja nabho kwa naku musanju. Munjila inu nichija Rumi.
15 The followers there had heard about us, and came out as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At sight of them Paul thanked God and was much cheered.
Okusoka eyo abhaili bhalya, bhejile bhongwa emisango jeswe ati, Bhejile okuchilamila eyo mwigulilo elya Apias na jinyumba esatu jinu ejilisha. Paulo ejile abhalola abhaili bhalya namusima Nyamuanga namba okubha no bhubhasi.
16 On our reaching Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, except for the soldier who was in charge of him.
Chejile chengila mu Roma, Paulo ekilisibhe okwikala enyele-la amwi no musilikale unu amulindaga.
17 Three days after our arrival, Paul invited the leading Jews to meet him; and, when they came, he said, “Brothers, although I had done nothing hostile to the interests of our nation or to our ancestral customs, yet I was sent from Jerusalem as a prisoner, and handed over to the Romans.
Mbe Jejile jatulao naku esatu Paulo abhabhilikie abhalume bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhatangasha agati ya abhayaudi. Bhejile bhejila amwi, aikile kubhene ati, “Bhaili, amwi nejo ati nichali kukola chikayo chona chona ku bhanu bhanu amwi ninkola obhutasikane no bwitondi bhwa bhalata bheswe bhanu bhachitangatie, nasosibhweo kuti mubhwoya unu asokele Yerusalemu kukinga mu mabhoko ga bharumi.
18 The Romans, when they had examined me, were ready to release me, because there was nothing in my conduct deserving death.
Bhejile bhamala okumbusilisha, nibhakena okunsiga kutyoela, kunsonga yaliga italio nsonga kwanye anye inu yaliga inyiile indamu yo lufu.
19 But, as the Jewish leaders opposed my release, I was compelled to appeal to the Emperor – not, indeed, that I had any charge to make against my own nation.
Mbe nawe abhayaudi bhalya bhejile bhaika kenu bhatasikene ku bhwendi bhwebhwe, kwanyiile okugendelela na ikesi kukinga ku Kaisari, Nolwo kutyo jaliga jili ati enileta amasitaka ingulu ya liyanga lyani.
20 This, then, is my reason for urging you to come to see me and talk with me; because it is for the sake of the hope of Israel that I am here in chains.”
Kunsonga yo kugendelela na ikesi yani, kwibhyo, nasabhile nibhalole no kwaika nabho. Niyo insonga ya chilya chinu Israel Ali no bhubhasi nacho, nibhoyelwe kwo kubhoywa kunu.
21 “We,” was their reply, “have not had any letter about you from Judea, nor have any of our fellow Jews come and reported or said anything bad about you.
Okumala Nibhamubhwila ati, “Chichaliga kulamila inyalubha okusoka Yudea kwo kulubhana nawe, nolwo atalio muili unu ejile no kusosha emisango amwi kwaika musango gwona gwona guli mibhibhi okulubhana nawe.
22 But we will be glad to hear from you what your views are, for, with regard to this sect, we are well aware that it is spoken against on all sides.”
Mbe nawe echenda okungwa okusoka kwawe owiganilishaki okulubhana na liijo linu elya bhanu bhanu, Kulwo kubha eimenyekana kwiswe ati elyaika bhutasikane na bhuli ebhala.”
23 They then fixed a day with him, and came to the place where he was staying, in even larger numbers, when Paul proceeded to lay the subject before them. He bore his testimony to the kingdom of God, and tried to convince them about Jesus, by arguments drawn from the Law of Moses and from the prophets – speaking from morning until evening.
Anu bhaliga bhauye olunaku ingulu ya, bhanu bhafu kukilao nibhamulubha kwi bhala elyo aliga ekae. Aikile omusango gulya ku bhene no kubhambalila okulubhana no bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga. Alegejishe okubhakongya-kongya okulubhana naYesu, ku njila jona ebhili okusoka mu bhilagilo bha Musa no okusoka ku bhalagi, okwambila katondo kukinga kegolo.
24 Some were inclined to accept what he said; others, however, rejected it.
Abhandi bhebhwe nibhakongibhwa okulubhana ne misango jilya jinu jaikilwe, mu mwanya abhandi bhatamwikilisishe.
25 So, as they disagreed among themselves, they began to disperse, Paul adding only – “True, indeed, was the declaration made by the Holy Spirit, through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors –
Wejile bhasingwa okungwana abhene kwa bhene, bhasokeleo Wejile Paulo agwaika omusango gunu gumwi, “Mwoyo Mwelu aikile kisi kwo kulabha ku Isaya omulagi ku bhalata bhemwe.
26 Go to this nation and say: You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving.
Aikile, 'Nugende ku bhanu bhanu waike, “Kwa matwi gemwe omungwa, Mbe nawe mutakusombokelwao chinu; Na kwa meso gemwe omulola Mbe nawe mutakumenya.
27 For the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might see with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.
Kulwo kubha emyoyo ja abhanu bhanu jalengae, amatwi gebhwe agongwa kwa jinyako, gafundikiywe ameso gebhwe; koleleki ati bhasige Okulola kwa meso gebhwe, no kungwa kwa matwi gebhwe, no kusombokelwa kwe mioyo jebhwe, no kuinduka lindi, nanye nakabheulisishe.'”
28 Understand, then, that this salvation of God was sent for the Gentiles; and they will listen.”
Kulwejo, kubheile okumenya ati omwelulo gunu ogwa Nyamuanga gusililwe ku bhanu bha maanga, na abhajokungwa.” (komelesha: olugobho lunu
Mu mwanya gunu ejile aika emisango jinu, abhayaudi bhasokeleo, bhali na mabhushanyo manene agati yebhwe, “Gutalimo mu nyandiko je kisi eja kala).
30 For two whole years Paul stayed in a house which he rented for himself, welcoming all who came to see him,
Paulo enyanjile mu nyumba yae inu aliga alimo kwa mwanya gwa myaka jone ebhili, na abhafogesishe bhona bhanu bhajaga ewae.
31 proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ, with perfect fearlessness, unhindered.
Aliga nasimula obhukama bha Nyamuanga no kwiigisha emisango ja Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo kwo bhubhasi bhona. Atalio unu amuganyishe.
