Acts 28
1 After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
Bhotufikisibhu kinofu, twamanyili kujha kisibhwa kukutibhwa 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.
Bhanu bhenyeji bha pala si tu bhatupelili ukarimu bhwa kawaida, bali bhakosi muoto ni kutukaribisya bhoha, kwandabha jha fula ni mepu jha jhijhendeleleghe.
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.
Lakini Paulo bho abhongeniye nsighu ghwa mbabhu ni kubheka pa muoto, lijhoka lidebe lyalijhe ni sumu akahoma mu mbabhu mola kwandabha jha lijotolela, ni kwisyongosya mu kibhoko kya muene.
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.”
Bhanu bhenyeji bha pala bhobhebhuene mnyama inimbila mu kibhoko kya muene, bhakajobhesana bhene kwa bhene, “Munu ojho hakika muuaji atoruiki mu bahari, lakini haki jhikanduhusu lepi kuishi.”
5 But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
Lakini muene akansopa mnyama ojhu mu muoto na akabhilepi madhara ghoghoha.
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!”
Bhene bhakajha bhakandendela afimbayi kwa homa au abinayi ghafla ni kufwa. Lakini baada jha kundanga kwa muda mrefu ni kubhona kujha lijhelepi lijambo ambalyo la kawaida lepi kwa muene, bhakabadilisya mawazo gha bhene ni kujobha ajhele K'yara.
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.
Basi mahali pala karibu pajhele ni ardhi ambajho jhajhele mali jha mbaha ghwa kisiwa, munu jha akutibhweghe Pablio. Atukaribisi ni kutukarimu kwa magono madatu.
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.
Jhatokili kujha ni dadi ghwa Pablio akamulibhu ni homa ni bhutamu bhwa kuhara. Ni Paulo bho andotili, asokili akabheka mabhoko panani pa muene ni kumponesya.
9 After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
Baada jha e'le kuhomela, bhanu bhangi pa kisiwa pala bhabhalwaleghe kabhele bhakalota ni kumponyesibhwa.
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].
Bhanu bhakatuheshimu kwa heshima simehele. Bho twikiandala kusafiri, bhatupelili fela fya tulondeghe.
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].
Baada jha miesi midatu, twasafiri mugati mu meli jha Iskanda ambajho jhajhele jhitobhibhu mepi apu pakisiwa, ambajho bhalongosi bhake bhajhele bhalongo bhabhele mapasa.
12 We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
Baada jha kujha tutolili pa mji bhwa Sirakusa, twatamili pala magono madatu.
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].
Kuhomela pala twasafiri mu mji bhwa Regio. Baada jha ligono limonga mp'ongo ghwa kusini ghwatokili ghafla, na baada jha magono mabhele twafikili ku mji bhwa Putoli.
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.
Okhu twabhakolili baadhi jha bhalongobhifu na twakalibisibhu kutama nabhu kwa magono saba. Kwa njela ejhe tukahida Rumi.
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.
Kuhoma okhu bhala bhalongobhitu, baada jha kujha bhapeliki habari sya tete, bhakahida kutupokela okho soko lya Apias ni Hotel sidatu. Paulo bho abhuene bhala bhalongo akan'shukuru K'yara akakipela ujasiri.
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.
Bho tujhingili Roma, Paulo aruhusibhu kutama muene pamonga ni jhola askari jha andendeghe.
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].
Basi jhajhele baada jha magono madatu Paulo abhakutili bhala bhagosi bhabhajhele bhalongosi kati jha Bhayahudi. Bho bhahidili pamonga, ajobhi kwa bhene, “Bhalongobhangu, pamonga ni kwamba nibhombilepi likosa lyolyoha kwa bhanu abha au kubhomba kinyume ni taratibu sya bhakhokho bhitu bhabhatulongolili, napisibhu kama mfungwa kuhoma Yerusalemu hadi mu mabhoko gha Bharumi.
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}.
Baada jha kunihoji, bhanogheleghe kundeka huru, kwandabha kwajhelepi ni sababu kwa nene kulondeka adhabu jha kifo.
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.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhala bho bhalongili kinyume kya shauku jha bhene, nalazimiki kukata rufaa kwa Kaisari, japokujha jhajhelepi kana kwamba nileta mashataka panani pa taifa lya nene.
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.”
Kwa ndabha jha kukata kwa nene rufaa, efyo, nasokili ni kulongela namu. Kwandabha jha khela ambakyo Israeli ajhe ni ujasiri naku, nifungibhu ni kifungu ekhe.
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.
Kisha bhakan'jobhela, “Tubhwayilepi kupokela barua kuhoma Yudea kuhusu bhebhe, wala ndongobhu kuhida kupisya taarifa au kujobha lilobhi lyolyoha lela libaya kuhusu bhebhe.
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.”
Lakini twilonda kupeleka likundi e'le lya bhanu abha, kwandabha limanyikene kwa tete kujha lilongela kinyume kila mahali.”
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].
Bhobhatengili ligono kwandabha jha bhene, bhanu bhingi bhan'hidili mahali pa atameghe. Ajobhi lijambo lela kwa bhene ni kushuhudila kuhusu ufalme bhwa K'yara. Ajaribu kubhashawishi kuhusu Yesu, kwa namna syoha sibhele kuhoma kusheria sya Musa ni kuhoma kwa manabii, kujhandila lukhela hadi kimihi.
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].
Baadhi jha bhene bhashawishiki kuhusu mambo ghala ghaghajobhibhu, wakati bhamana bhkyeri lepi.
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]:
Bhobhashindilu kukubaliana bhene kwa bhene, bhabhokili baada jha Paulo kulijobha lijambo e'le limonga, “Roho Mtakatifu ajobhili kinofu kup'etela Isaya nabii kwa bhadadi jhinu.
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].
Ajobhili, 'Lotayi kwa bhanu abha ujobhayi, “Kwa mb'olokoto sya jhomu mwibetakup'eleka, lakini mwibetalepi kujhelebhwa; Na kwa mihu ghinu mwibetakulola lakini mwibetakutambula lepi.
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.’
Kwandabha jha mioyo jha bhanu abha midhaifu, mb'ol'okoto sya bhene sipeleka kwa tabu, bhafumbili mihu gha bhene, ili kwamba bhasihidi kutambula kwa mihu gha bhene, ni kup'el'eka kwa mb'ol'okoto sya bhene, ni kujhelebhwa kwa mioyo ghya bhene ni kugeuka kabhele, na nganibhaponyisi.”'
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]!”
Kwa hiyo, mwilondeka kumanya kujha bhwokovu obho bhwa K'yara up'elekibhu kwa bhanu bha Mataifa, na bhibetakup'elekesya.”
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].
Paulo atamili mu nyumba jha muene jha kupanga kwa miaka ghioha mibhele, na kwa muene.
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.
Akajha ihubiri ufalme bhwa K'yara na akajha ifundisya mambo juu jha Bwana Yesu Kristu kwa ujasiri bhwoha. Ajhelepi jha am'besili.
