Acts 28
1 And, when we were safely through, then, we knew that the island was called, Melita.
Patamali kuhika bwina kundumba ndi tamanyili kuvya chisiwa chila chikemelewa Malita.
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.
Takangisi ndava vakolonjinji vatihengili gabwina neju tete. Fula ndi yatumbula kutonya na kwavili na mbepu, hinu vakoyili motu na kutigongolela.
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.
Pauli anongili ndwika udebe wa sagala akazikohokea pamotu, penapo ndava ya lyoto la motu, limoma lahumalili musagala na lamulumili Pauli muchiwoko na kujikamulisa.
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.
Vala vakolonjinji pavawene limoma lijikamulisi dombeka muchiwoko cha Pauli, vakajovesana, “Chakaka mundu uyu mkomaji, pamonga na kusanguka kufwa munyanja, nambu lihoka litu lelikemiwa ganisa Chapanga likumleka lepi alama.”
5 He, however, shaking of the brute into the fire, suffered no harm;
Nambu mwene akakung'undila limoma pamotu na alemili lepi hati padebe.
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.
Vandu vala vevalolokesa kuvya yati ihimba amala kugwa pahi na kufwa. Pavalindili mulukumbi lutali changalola kuvya Pauli apatili lepi lijambu loloha lihakau, ndi vakang'anamusa maholo gavi vakujova mwene ndi lihoka.
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.
Papipi na pandu apo pavili na migunda ya Publio, chilongosi wa chisiwa chila. Ndi mwene atigongolili cha uganu na tatamili munyumba yaki mu magono gadatu.
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.
Hinu, dadi waki Publio agonili palusongwani, ndava ya utamu na kuseka ngasi. Ndi Pauli ahambili kumlola na peamali kumuyupa Chapanga, akavika mawoko gaki panani ya mtamu ndi akamlamisa.
9 And, when this happened, the rest also, even they in the island who were sick, were coming in and getting cured;
Palahumalili lijambu lenilo, vatamu voha muchisiwa chenicho vabwelili na kulamiswa mewa.
10 who also, with many honours, honoured us, and, when we were about to sail, put on board such things as we might need.
Vandu vatipelili njombi ndalindali lukumbi patatumbwili kavili lugendu vayingisi vindu vyoha vyetaganilli muwatu.
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;
Payamaliki miyehi yidatu tatumbwili kavili lugendu muwatu wewihuma ku Alekisandalia yeyihongoliwi chimong'omong'o ya “Vachapanga Mapaha.” Watu wenuwo wayimili muchisiwa icho mulukumbi lwoha lwa mbepu.
12 and, touching at Syracuse, we tarried three days;
Patahikili pamuji wa Silakusa, tatamili penapo mu magono gadatu.
13 whence, going round, we reached Rhegium; and, after one day, a south wind springing up, on the second day, we came to Puteoli;
Kuhuma kwenuko tagendili na kuhika kumuji wa Legio. Chilau yaki, mpungu wa kusini watumbwili kubuma, ndi mulugendu lwa magono gavili tahikili pamuji wa Putioli.
14 where, finding brethren, we were entreated to tarry, with them, seven days; —and, thus, towards Rome, we came.
Kwenuko tavakoli valongo vamsadika, ndi vatigongolili titama nawu mulijuma limonga. Kangi tayendalili na lugendu kuhika ku Loma.
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.
Vamsadika va ku Loma vala pevayuwini malovi ga kutivala tete, vakabwela kutali pandu pakugulisila vindu la Apio na Munyumba Zidatu za Vayehe kukonganeka na tete. Pauli peawene akamsengusa Chapanga na kusindimaliswa mtima.
16 And, when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself, with the soldier that guarded him.
Petahikili ku Loma Pauli ayidakiliwi kutama mwene pamonga na linjolinjoli mmonga wa kumlindalila.
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;
Pagamaliki magono gadatu, Pauli avakemili pamonga vachilongosi va Vayawudi va pandu apo. Pavakonganiki mwene akavajovela, “Valongo vangu, nene nakungiwi muchifungu ku Yelusalemu kula na kugotolewa kwa vandu va ku Loma, nambu nene nahengili lepi chindu chihakau amala kubela mivelu ya vagogo vitu.
18 who, indeed, when they had examined me, were minded to set me at liberty, because there was, nothing worthy of death, in me.
Valumi pevamali kunikotakesa vaganili kunilekekesa muni nahengili lepi chindu chihakau chechikunigana kukomiwa.
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.
Nambu Vayawudi vala vakabela lijambu ilo, ndi nene nikayupa kuhamuliwa na Nkosi wa ku Loma, nambu navi lepi na chochoha cha kuvatakila vandu va mulima wangu.
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!
Ndava ya genago ndi nivakemelili tiwonanganayi na kulongela na nyenye, muni nikungiwi minyololo iyi ndava ya lilagizu la Chapanga kwa Isilaeli.”
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.
Vene vakamjovela, “Tete tipokili lepi balua ya kuhuma ku Yudea, mewa kawaka mlongo yoyoha mweahikili kutijovela lasimi amala kulongela chindu chochoha chihakau ndava yaku.
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.
Nambu tigana kuyuwana maholo gaku wamwene, muni timanya kuvya chikundi chenicho chibelelewa kila pandu.”
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.
Hinu vakayidakilana ligono la kukonganeka nayu, vandu vamahele vamhikili peatamili. Kutumbula lukela mbaka kimihi Pauli avadandaulili na kuvajovela ujumbi wa kuuvala Unkosi wa Chapanga, alingili avakulukisi vayidakila mambu ga Yesu kwa kuhengela malagizu ga Bambu geampelili Musa na mayandiku ga vamlota va Chapanga.
24 And, some, indeed, were persuaded by the things that were spoken, whereas, others, disbelieved;
Vangi pagati yavi vakofyiliwi malovi gaki, nambu vangi vasadiki lepi.
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,
Hinu, vakapechengana mumaholo gavi vene kwa vene. Hinu vawukili ndava Pauli, ajovili lijambu limonga, “Mpungu Msopi avajovili chakaka vagogo vinu mu njila ya mlota wa Chapanga Isaya,
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;
akajova, ‘Uvahambila vandu ava uvajovela, kuyuwana yati mwiyuwana, nambu nakumanya, kulola yati mwilola, nambu yati mwimanya lepi.
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.
Ndava mitima ya vandu ava yitopa, vadindili makutu gavi, na vakupiki mihu gavi. Ngati lepi kulola kwa mihu gavi ngavayuwini kwa makutu gavi, ngavamanyili kwa luhala lwavi na valeka njila zavi zihakau, kangi nivalamisi.’”
28 Be it, known unto you, therefore, that, unto the nations, hath been sent forth this salvation of God: they, will also hear.
Kangi Pauli akajova, “Mmanya kuvya ujumbi wa Chapanga ndava ya kusanguliwa upelikwi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi. Na vene yati vauyuwanila.”
Pauli peamali kujova genago, Vayawudi vakawuka, vakakotana gamahele vene kwa vene.
30 And he abode two whole years in his own hired house, and made welcome all who were coming in unto him, —
Palukumbi lwa miyaka yivili, Pauli atamili munyumba yeapangili mwene, avagongolili munyumba vandu voha vevabwelili kumjambusa.
31 proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, without hindrance.
Avakokosili malovi ga Unkosi wa Chapanga na kuwula vandu ndava ya Bambu Yesu Kilisitu kwa ukekesi na changabesiwa na mundu.
