Acts 28
1 After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
Sa dihang kami gidala didto nga luwas, among nakat-onan nga ang isla gitawag ug Malta.
2 The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
Ang lumad nga katawhan mitanyag nganhi kanamo dili lang sa kasagarang kaluoy, apan naghaling sila ug kalayo ug nagdawat kanamong tanan, tungod kay walay hunong ang ulan ug ang katugnaw.
3 Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
Apan sa dihang si Pablo nakatigom ug usa ka bugkos nga kahoy ug gibutang niya kini ngadto sa kalayo, ang halas nga malala migula tungod sa kainit, ug milikos ngadto sa iyang kamot.
4 [The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
Sa dihang ang lumad nga katawhan nakakita sa mananap nga nagbitay gikan sa iyang kamot, sila miingon sa usag-usa, “Kini nga tawo sa pagkatinuod mao ang usa ka mamumuno nga nakalingkawas gikan sa dagat, bisan ang hustisya dili gayod motugot kaniya nga mabuhi.”
5 But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
Apan niadto iyang gisawilik ang mananap ngadto sa kalayo ug wala gayod siyay giantos nga kasakit.
6 The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
Sila nagpaabot kaniya nga mahimong manginit pag-ayo uban sa kalintura o kalit matumba ug mamatay. Apan human sila nagtan-aw kaniya sa taas nga oras ug nakita nila nga walay nahitabo kaniya, ilang giusab ang ilang hunahuna ug miingon nga siya usa ka dios.
7 Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
Karon sa usa ka duol nga lugar didto ang kayutaan nga nahisakop sa usa ka pangulo sa isla, ang usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Publio. Siya nagdawat kanamo ug maloluy-ong mihatag alang kanamo sa tulo ka adlaw.
8 [At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
Kini nahitabo nga ang amahan ni Publio nahimong nagsakit uban sa kalintura ug disenteriya. Sa dihang si Pablo miadto kaniya, siya nag-ampo, gitapion niya ang iyang kamot ngadto kaniya, ug naayo siya.
9 After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
Human kini nahitabo, ang uban nga mga tawo sa isla nga nagsakit usab miabot ug sila nangaayo.
10 They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
Ang mga tawo usab mipasidungog kanamo uban sa daghang mga pasidungog. Sa dihang kami nangandam aron sa paglayag, sila naghatag kanamo kung unsa ang among gikinahanglan.
11 After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
Human sa tulo ka bulan, kami milawig sa sakayan sa Alexandria nga tingtugnaw sa isla, kansang kinulit nga hulagway mao Ang Kaluha nga Managsoon.
12 We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
Human kami midunggo sa siyudad sa Siracusa, nagpabilin kami didto sa tulo ka adlaw.
13 Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
Gikan didto kami milawig ug miabot sa siyudad sa Regium. Human sa usa ka adlaw ang usa ka habagat nga hangin mitungha pataas, ug sa ikaduhang adlaw kami miabot sa siyudad sa Puteoli.
14 In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
Didto namo nakaplagan ang pipila ka mga kaigsoonan ug midapit aron mopuyo uban kanila sulod sa pito ka adlaw. Niini nga dalan miabot kami sa Roma.
15 [A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
Gikan didto sa mga kaigsoonan, human sila makadungog mahitungod kanamo, miadto sila aron makigkita kanamo sama kalayo sa Ang Merkado sa Apio ug Ang Tres Tabernas. Sa dihang si Pablo nakakita sa mga kaigsoonan, siya nagpasalamat sa Dios ug nagmaisogon.
16 After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
Sa dihang kami misulod sa Roma, si Pablo gitugotan sa pagpuyo nga siya lamang uban ang sundalo nga maoy magbantay kaniya.
17 After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
Unya kini miabot human sa tulo ka mga adlaw si Pablo nagtawag sa tanan niadtong mga kalalakin-an nga mga pangulo sa mga Judio. Sa dihang sila miabot, siya miingon ngadto kanila, “Mga kaigsoonan, bisan tuod ako walay nabuhat nga sayop batok sa mga tawo o mga naandan sa atong mga katigulangan, ako gihatod isip usa ka binilanggo gikan sa Jerusalem ngadto sa mga kamot sa mga taga-Roma.
18 The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
Human sila nangutana kanako, nangandoy sila sa akong kagawasan, tungod kay walay igong hinungdan nganhi kanako ang silot sa kamatayon.
19 But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
Apan sa dihang ang mga Judio misulti batok sa ilang tinguha, napugos ako nga mohangyo kang Cesar, bisan tuod kini dili ingon nga ako nagdala sa bisan unsa nga pasangil batok sa akong nasod.
20 So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
Tungod kay sa akong paghangyo, unya, naghangyo ako aron sa pagpakigkita kaninyo ug aron makigsulti uban kaninyo. Kini tungod kay kung unsa ang gisaligan sa Israel mahitungod nga ako gigapos niining kadena.”
21 Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
Unya sila miingon ngadto kaniya, “Wala kami nakadawat ug mga sulat gikan sa Judea mahitungod kanimo, ni bisan usa sa mga kaigsoonan nga miduol ug mibalita o miingon ug bisan unsa nga daotan mahitungod kanimo.
22 But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
Apan buot kami nga makadungog gikan kanimo kung unsa ang imong gihunahuna bahin niining pundok, tungod kay nahibaloan namo nga ginasupak kini bisan asa.
23 So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
Sa dihang sila nakaandam ug adlaw alang kaniya, daghang mga tawo ang miabot ngadto kaniya sa iyang pinuy-anan. Siya nagpadayag sa mga butang ngadto kanila, ug nagpamatuod mahitungod sa gingharian sa Dios. Siya misulay sa pagdani kanila mahitungod kang Jesus, gikan sa balaod ni Moises ug gikan sa mga propeta, gikan sa buntag hangtod sa gabii.
24 Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
Ang pipila nadani mahitungod sa mga butang nga giingon, samtang ang uban wala mituo.
25 So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
Sa dihang sila wala makauyon sa usag-usa, sila mibiya human si Pablo misulti niining usa ka pulong, “Ang Balaang Espiritu misulti pag-ayo pinaagi kang Isaias ang propeta sa inyong mga katigulangan.
26 Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
Siya miingon, 'Adto niining katawhan ug ingna, 'Pinaagi sa pagpaminaw ikaw makadungog, apan dili makasabot; Ug sa pagtan-aw ikaw makakita, apan dili makasabot.
27 God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
Kay ang kasingkasing niining mga tawo mahimong luya, Ang ilang mga dalunggan lisod makadungog, Ilang gipiyong ang ilang mga mata; Aron dili sila nahimong makasabot uban sa ilang mga mata, Ug makadungog uban sa ilang mga dalunggan, Ug makasabot uban ang ilang kasingkasing, Ug mobalik usab, Ug ayohon ko sila.'
28 [That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
Busa, kamo kinahanglan mahibalo nga kining kaluwasan sa Dios gipadala ngadto sa mga Gentil, ug sila maminaw.
Ang Binuhatan 28: 29 - ang labing maayo nga karaang mga kopya giwala sa bersikulo 29, Sa dihang siya nagsulti niining mga butanga, ang Judio migikan, nga adunay dakong kalibog sa ilang mga kaugalingon.
30 For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
Si Pablo mipuyo sa duha ka tuig sa iyang kaugalingong giabangan nga balay, ug iyang giabi-abi ang tanan nga miadto kaniya.
31 He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
Nagsangyaw siya sa gingharian sa Dios ug mitudlo sa mga butang mahitungod kang Ginoong Jesu-Cristo uban sa tanang kaisog. Walay usa nga nakapugong kaniya.
