Acts 28
1 And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.
Awo bwe twamala okutuuka obulungi ku lukalu ne tulyoka tutegeera nti tuli ku kizinga Merita.
2 And, the natives, began to shew us no common philanthropy; for, kindling a fire, they received us all, because of the rain that had set in, and because of the cold.
Bannansi b’oku kizinga baatulaga ekisa kingi ekitali kya bulijjo, ne bakuma omuliro ne twota, kubanga obudde bwali bwa butiti nga n’enkuba etandise okutonnya.
3 But, when Paul had gathered a certain lot of firewood into a bundle, and laid it on the fire, a viper, by reason of the heat, coming forth, fastened on his hand.
Pawulo yali akuŋŋaanyizza akaganda k’obuku, naye yali akassa ku muliro, omusota ogw’obutwa ennyo ne guva mu buku obwo ne gweripa ku mukono gwe.
4 And, when the natives saw the brute hanging out from his hand, they began to say, one to another—Doubtless, this man is, a murderer, whom, though brought safely through out of the sea, Justice, hath not suffered, to live.
Bwe baalaba ekintu ekireebeeta ku mukono gwa Pawulo ne bagambagana nti, “Ddala oyo mutemu. Newaakubadde ng’ennyanja yagiwonye, naye era omusango gukyamulondoola teguumuganye kulama!”
5 He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;
Naye Pawulo omusota n’agukunkumulira mu muliro n’atabaako kabi konna.
6 whereas, they, were expecting, that he was about to become inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead; —but, when they had been long expecting, and had observed, nothing unusual, happening unto him, they changed their minds, and began to say he was a god.
Abantu ne balindirira balabe bw’atandika okuzimba oba okugwa eri afiirewo, naye bwe baalindiririra ebbanga eddene nga tebamulabako kamogo, ne baddamu okwerowooza, ne bagamba nti, “Oyo katonda!”
7 Now, in the neighbourhood of that place, were lands, belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, —who, making us welcome, for three days, hospitably entertained us.
Waaliwo ennimiro okuliraana n’olubalama lw’ennyanja we twali, nga ya Pabuliyo eyali omukulu w’ekizinga ekyo. Awo n’atwaniriza mu maka ge n’atusembeza n’atulabirira okumala ennaku ssatu.
8 And it so happened that, the father of Publius, with feverish heats and dysentery distressed, was lying prostrate: unto whom Paul entering in and praying, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
Mu kiseera ekyo kitaawe yali mulwadde omusujja ng’alimu ekiddukano ky’omusaayi. Pawulo n’agenda gy’ali n’amusabira, n’amussaako emikono n’amuwonya!
9 And, when this happened, the rest also, even they in the island who were sick, were coming in and getting cured;
Ekyo bwe kyabaawo, n’abalwadde abalala bonna ku kizinga abaalina endwadde ne bajja gy’ali ne bawonyezebwa.
10 who also, with many honours, honoured us, and, when we were about to sail, put on board such things as we might need.
Ne batuwa ebirabo bingi, era ekiseera kyaffe eky’okusaabala ku nnyanja bwe kyatuuka, ne batuleetera ebintu bingi ku kyombo bye twali twetaaga okukozesa mu lugendo lwaffe.
11 And, after three months, we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, [a ship] of Alexandria, whose ensign was The Twin Brothers;
Oluvannyuma lw’emyezi esatu ne tulyoka tusitula. Twagendera mu kyombo eky’e Alegezanderiya ekiyitibwa Abooluganda Abalongo. Kyali kyewogomye awo ku kizinga okumala obudde bwonna olw’obutiti.
12 and, touching at Syracuse, we tarried three days;
Ne tusooka okugoba mu Sirakusi, ne tumalawo ennaku ssatu.
13 whence, going round, we reached Rhegium; and, after one day, a south wind springing up, on the second day, we came to Puteoli;
Bwe twava awo ne twetooloola ne tutuuka e Regio. Oluvannyuma lw’olunaku lumu ne tujjirwa empewo eva obukiikaddyo bwa bugwanjuba, olunaku olwaddirira ne tutuuka e Putiyooli.
14 where, finding brethren, we were entreated to tarry, with them, seven days; —and, thus, towards Rome, we came.
Wano twasangawo abooluganda, ne batusaba tubeere nabo ennaku musanvu. Bwe twava awo ne tutuuka e Ruumi.
15 And, when from thence the brethren heard the tidings concerning us, they came to meet us, as far as The Market of Appius and the Three Taverns—seeing whom, Paul thanked God, and took courage.
Abooluganda abaali eyo bwe baawulira ebyatutuukako, ne bajja okutusisinkana mu Katale ka Apiya ne ku Bisulo Ebisatu. Pawulo bwe yabalaba ne yeebaza Katonda era n’aguma omwoyo.
16 And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.
Bwe twatuuka mu Ruumi Pawulo n’akkirizibwa okubeera yekka, kyokka ng’abeera n’omuserikale amukuuma.
17 And it came to pass, after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and, when they came together, he began to say unto them—I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, as a prisoner, out of Jerusalem, was delivered into the hands of the Romans;
Awo nga wayiseewo ennaku ssatu, Pawulo n’ayita abakulembeze b’Abayudaaya. Bwe baakuŋŋaana n’ayogera nabo nti, “Abasajja baganda bange, Abayudaaya bankwatira bwereere mu Yerusaalemi, ne bampaayo mu Baruumi, so nga sirina ky’ensobezza ku bantu, wadde ku mpisa z’abajjajjaffe wadde obulombolombo.
18 who, indeed, when they had examined me, were minded to set me at liberty, because there was, nothing worthy of death, in me.
Abaruumi ne bampozesa, era ne baagala okunta, kubanga tebaalabawo musango gwe nzizizza gunsaanyiza kufa.
19 But, as the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar, —not as though, against my nation, I had anything to bring by way of accusation.
Naye Abayudaaya bwe baagaana okukkiriza ensala eyo, ne mpalirizibwa okujulira ewa Kayisaali, newaakubadde nga saaliko kye mpawaabira bantu ba ggwanga lyange.
20 For this cause, therefore, have I called for you, to see and to speak with you; for, on account of the hope of Israel, this chain, have I about me!
Noolwekyo mbayise wano tumanyagane era twogeraganye. Olw’essuubi lya Isirayiri, kyenvudde nsibibwa n’olujegere luno.”
21 And, they, said unto him—We, have neither received letters concerning thee from the Jews, nor hath anyone of the brethren who hath arrived reported or spoken concerning thee, anything ill.
Ne bamuddamu nti, “Tetufunanga ku bbaluwa ziva mu Buyudaaya nga zikwogerako, wadde baganda baffe okubaako bye batutegeeza ku ggwe nga bibi.
22 But we deem it well, that, from thee, we should hear what are thine opinions; for, indeed, concerning this sect, it is, known to us, that, everywhere, is it spoken against.
Kyokka twagala okuwulira ebirowoozo byo ku kibiina ekyo, kubanga tumanyi nti buli wamu teriiyo gw’owulira ng’akyogerako bulungi.”
23 And, having arranged with him a day, there came unto him, to the lodging, a larger number; unto whom he proceeded to expound, bearing full witness as to the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets, —from morning till evening.
Awo ne bategeka olunaku, era ku olwo abantu ne bajja bangi, mu kifo we yasulanga. N’abannyonnyola ng’ajulira obwakabaka bwa Katonda, n’abategeeza ku Yesu, nga byonna abyesigamya ku mateeka ga Musa ne ku bannabbi. Yatandika ku nkya n’amala akawungeezi.
24 And, some, indeed, were persuaded by the things that were spoken, whereas, others, disbelieved;
Abamu ne bakkiriza bye yayogera, naye abalala ne batakkiriza.
25 and, not being, agreed, among themselves, they began to leave, —Paul having said one thing—Well, did, the Holy Spirit, speak through Isaiah the prophet, unto your fathers,
Awo nga balemeddwa okukkiriziganya, Pawulo n’abasiibuza ebigambo bino nti, “Mwoyo Mutukuvu yali mutuufu bwe yayogera eri bajjajjammwe ng’ayita mu nnabbi Isaaya nti,
26 saying—Go thy way unto this people, and say—Ye shall, surely hear, and yet will in nowise understand. And, surely see, and yet will in nowise perceive;
“‘Genda eri abantu bano obagambe nti, Okuwulira muliwulira, naye temulitegeera n’okulaba muliraba naye temulyetegereza.
27 For the heart of this people, hath become dense, and, with their ears, heavily, have they heard, and, their eyes, have they closed, —lest once they should see with their eyes, and, with their ears, should hear, and, with their hearts, should understand, and return, —when I would certainly heal them.
Kubanga omutima gw’abantu bano gugubye. N’amatu gaabwe gazibikidde, n’amaaso gaabwe gazibiridde. Si kulwa nga balaba n’amaaso gaabwe, ne bawulira n’amatu gaabwe, ne bategeera n’emitima gyabwe, ne bakyuka okudda gye ndi, ne mbawonya.’
28 Be it, known unto you, therefore, that, unto the nations, hath been sent forth this salvation of God: they, will also hear.
“Noolwekyo mumanye nti obulokozi obuva eri Katonda buweereddwa Abaamawanga era bajja kubuwuliriza.”
Pawulo bwe yamala okwogera ebyo, Abayudaaya ne bagenda nga bawakana nnyo bokka na bokka.
30 And he abode two whole years in his own hired house, and made welcome all who were coming in unto him, —
Awo Pawulo n’amala emyaka ebiri miramba ng’asula mu nnyumba ye gye yeepangisiza, era n’ayanirizanga buli eyajjanga okumulaba.
31 proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, without hindrance.
N’abuuliranga obwakabaka bwa Katonda, era n’ayigirizanga ebigambo bya Mukama waffe Yesu Kristo mu lwatu nga tewali amuziyiza.
