< Acts 28 >

1 And when they had escaped, then they knew that the isle was called Melita.
ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪܟܢ ܝܠܦܢ ܕܡܠܝܛܐ ܡܬܩܪܝܐ ܗܝ ܓܙܪܬܐ
2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
ܘܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܪܚܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܚܘܝܘ ܠܘܬܢ ܘܐܘܚܕܘ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܩܪܐܘܢ ܠܟܠܢ ܕܢܫܚܢ ܡܛܠ ܡܛܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܩܘܪܫܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
ܘܦܘܠܘܤ ܫܩܠ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܚܒܘܒܐ ܘܤܡ ܥܠ ܢܘܪܐ ܘܢܦܩܬ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܟܕܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܬܚܐ ܕܢܘܪܐ ܘܢܟܬܬ ܒܐܝܕܗ
4 And when the barbarians saw the animal hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐܘܗ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܕܬܠܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܒܪ ܗܢܐ ܓܒܪܐ ܩܛܘܠܐ ܗܘ ܕܟܕ ܐܫܬܘܙܒ ܡܢ ܝܡܐ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܠܐ ܫܒܩܬܗ ܕܢܚܐ
5 And he shook off the animal into the fire, and felt no harm.
ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܢܝܦ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܫܕܗ ܠܐܟܕܢܐ ܒܢܘܪܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܗܝ
6 Yet they looked when he would have swelled, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
ܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܒܪܒܪܝܐ ܕܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܡܬܡܤܐ ܘܢܦܠ ܟܕ ܡܝܬ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܟܕ ܥܕܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܤܟܝܘ ܘܚܙܘ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܤܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܗܝ ܫܚܠܦܘ ܡܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ
7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the isle, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܩܘܪܝܐ ܒܗ ܒܗܘ ܐܬܪܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܦܠܝܘܤ ܕܗܘ ܗܘܐ ܪܫܗ ܕܓܙܪܬܐ ܘܩܒܠܢ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܚܕܝܐܝܬ
8 And it came to pass that the father of Publius lay sick with a fever, and a bloody-flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
ܐܒܘܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܦܘܦܠܝܘܤ ܒܐܫܬܐ ܘܒܟܐܒ ܡܥܝܐ ܟܪܝܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܨܠܝ ܘܤܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܚܠܡܗ
9 So when this was done, others also who had diseases in the isle, came, and were healed:
ܘܟܕ ܗܘܬ ܗܕܐ ܐܦ ܫܪܟܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܓܙܪܬܐ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܩܪܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܡܬܐܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
10 Who also honored us with many honors; and when we departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
ܘܐܝܩܪܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܝܩܪܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܙܘܕܘܢ
11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
ܢܦܩܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܪܚܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܠܦܐ ܐܠܟܤܢܕܪܝܬܐ ܕܐܤܬܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܒܗ ܒܓܙܪܬܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܠܝܗ ܐܬܐ ܕܬܐܡܐ
12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
ܘܐܬܝܢ ܠܤܪܩܘܤܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܩܘܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܬܠܬܐ
13 And from thence we made a circuit, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܬܟܪܟܢ ܘܡܢܥܢ ܠܪܓܝܘܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܒܬܪ ܝܘܡܐ ܚܕ ܢܫܒܬ ܠܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܬܝܡܢܐ ܘܠܬܪܝܢ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܦܘܛܝܐܠܤ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܐܝܛܠܝܐ
14 Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went towards Rome.
ܘܐܫܟܚܢ ܬܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܘܒܥܘ ܡܢܢ ܘܗܘܝܢ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܫܒܥܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܢ ܠܪܗܘܡܐ
15 And from thence when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii-forum, and the Three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܐܚܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܢܦܩܘ ܠܐܘܪܥܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܐܦܝܘܤ ܦܘܪܘܤ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܠܬ ܚܢܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܘܕܝ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܬܚܝܠ
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
ܘܥܠܢ ܠܪܗܘܡܐ ܘܐܦܤ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܢܫܪܐ ܐܝܟܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܥܡ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ ܗܘ ܕܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
17 And it came to pass, that after three days, Paul called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܫܕܪ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܩܪܐ ܠܪܫܢܝܗܘܢ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܐܚܝ ܐܢܐ ܟܕ ܒܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܩܡܬ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܥܡܐ ܘܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܐܒܗܝ ܒܐܤܘܪܐ ܐܫܬܠܡܬ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܪܗܘܡܝܐ
18 Who when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me.
ܘܗܢܘܢ ܟܕ ܫܐܠܘܢܝ ܨܒܘ ܕܢܫܪܘܢܢܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܒܬܪܝ ܪܫܝܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܫܘܐ ܠܡܘܬܐ
19 But when the Jews spoke against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Cesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of.
ܘܟܕ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܩܒܠܝ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܬܐܠܨܬ ܕܐܩܥܐ ܒܓܢ ܩܤܪ ܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܐܩܛܪܓ ܒܡܕܡ ܠܒܢܝ ܥܡܝ
20 For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see [you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܒܥܝܬ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܕܬܐܬܘܢ ܘܐܚܙܝܟܘܢ ܘܐܫܬܥܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܤܒܪܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܤܝܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܫܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ
21 And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, neither have any of the brethren that came shown or spoken any harm of thee.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܚܢܢ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܠܐ ܩܒܠܢ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܐܚܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܢ ܡܕܡ ܕܒܝܫ ܥܠܝܟ
22 But we desire to hear from thee, what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
ܨܒܝܢܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܫܡܥ ܡܢܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܡܬܪܥܐ ܐܢܬ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢܢ ܕܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܩܒܠ
23 And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening.
ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܘܟܢܫܘ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܟܪ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܓܠܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܟܕ ܡܤܗܕ ܘܡܦܝܤ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܘܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܨܦܪܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܪܡܫܐ
24 And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
ܘܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ
25 And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
ܘܐܫܬܪܝܘ ܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܫܠܡܝܢ ܠܚܕܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܫܦܝܪ ܡܠܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܒܦܘܡ ܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܐܒܗܬܟܘܢ
26 Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.
ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܕܙܠ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܐ ܬܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܘܬܚܙܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܬܒܚܪܘܢ
27 For the heart of this people is become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
ܐܬܥܒܝ ܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܗ ܕܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܘܡܫܡܥܬܗܘܢ ܐܘܩܪܘ ܘܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܥܡܨܘ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܙܘܢ ܒܥܝܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܐܕܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܤܬܟܠܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܘܢܬܘܒܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܐܫܒܘܩ ܠܗܘܢ
28 Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
ܬܬܝܕܥ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܗܕܐ ܕܠܥܡܡܐ ܗܘ ܐܫܬܕܪ ܗܢܐ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܦ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܠܗ
29 And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܢܦܩܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܤܓܝ ܕܪܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܝܢܬܗܘܢ
30 And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him,
ܘܐܓܪ ܠܗ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܡܢ ܕܝܠܗ ܒܝܬܐ ܘܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܘܡܩܒܠ ܗܘܐ ܬܡܢ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ
31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
ܘܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܥܠ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܠܐ ܟܠܝܢ
