Acts 28
1 Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
Nitwakazubusigwa kabotu twanjila mukati, twakaziba kuti ako kasuwa kategwa Malita.
2 The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
Bantu bamumo bakatuchitila buuya bwindilide, pesi bakakunka mulilo, batutambula toonse, nkaambo kwakali muyooba alubo kakulokutontola.
3 Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.
Pesi Pawulu nakabwezelela bukunikuni wabuwaala mumulilo, muzoka wakazwa nkaambo kakuumpa kwamulilo. Mpawo wanamatila aluboko lwa Pawulu.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
Lino bakkali bamuchisi echi nibakabona munyama oyu ulalengelela aluboko lwa Pawulu, bakati kuli umwi awumwi, “Oyu mwalumi welede kuti mujayi wavunwa kulwizi. Lubeta talumuzumizyi pe kuti kachipona.”
5 He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
Pesi nakamusansila mumulilo muzoka ulya, katakwe anakamuchisa pe.
6 They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Bakalindila kabalangilila kuti ulachiswa ndulwe mukati na kuti kuwidaansi mpawawo. Pesi nibakamulangilizya kwachiindi chilamfu, babona takwe abubi bwakachitika alinguwe, bakasandula kuyeeya kwabo bati mwalumi oyu ngu Leza.
7 Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
Lino abusena buli afwifwi kwakali nyika yakali yamuzuluzi mupati wakasuwa aaka, mwalumi utegwa Pabbuliyasi. Wakatutambula watukutawukila kwamazuba ataatu.
8 It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
Lino kwakaba kuti wisi wa Pabbuliyasi wakalikuchiswa ndulwe akania bugwalaya. Lino Pawulu nakaya kulinguwe, wakakomba, wamubikka maboko, mpawo wamuponia.
9 After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
Kuzwa akuchitika kwazezi, bantu biingi bakalikuchiswa mukasuwa aaka bakaza mpawo bakaponesegwa.
10 They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
Bantu bakatulemeka abulemo bwiingi. Elyo nitwakaamba kweenda, bakatupa zyoonse nzitwakabulide.
11 Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
Kuuzwa amyeezi itaatu twakeenda abwaato bwakali bwamaninsya chilimu choonse kabuli akasuwa, bwaato bwa Alekkizandiliya bwakalijisi chikozyano chaba leza bamambile kachili chitondezyo,
12 At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
Kuzwa nitwakasika adolopo litegwa Silakkiyasi twakakkala mazuba ataatu.
13 From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
Kuzwa mpawawo twakayamba mane twakusika kudolopo litegwa Legiyamu. Nikwakayinda zuba limwi kwakabuka moya wakumusanza, mpawo mukati kamazuba twakali twasika kudolopo lya-Pitiyoli.
14 Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.
Awa twakajana babunyina bamwi, mpawo batutamba kuti tukkale ambabo kwamazuba aalimusanu aabili. Kwiinda munzila mbutwakasika ku Loma.
15 Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
Kuzwa mpawawo bakwesu nibakamvwa kuti twasika bakaza kuzotutambula ku Masasmbalilo a Apiyasi, akumaanda ataatu nkutwakali twaba.
16 Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
Nitwakanjila mu Loma, Pawulu wakangununwa kuti akkale alikke a silumamba sikumulinda.
17 After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
Elyo kwakaba kuti nikwakayinda mazuba ataatu Pawulu wakayita basilutwe bama Juda. Lino nibakabangununa, wakati kulimbabo; “Nobakwesu, nikuba kuti tandijisi mulandu pe kubantu akutunsiyansiya twamataata, Ndakeetwa mbuli mwaange kuzwa ku Jelusalema ndabikwa mumaboko aba Loma.
18 They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
Nibakandibuzisisya, bakaba amoyo wakundangununa nkambo kwakabulika mulandu wakuti ndijiigwe.
19 But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
Pesi bama Juda nibakambuula mbuli mbubayanda, ndakamanikizigwa kuti ndizobetekwe kunkuta ya Siza, nikuba kuti takuli ndikupa bantu bakuli ndiswe mulandu.
20 For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
Nkambo kanzizyo ezi, nchindamwiita kuti ndimubone mpawo ngaambule andinywe, mbuli kuti nkambo kabulangizi bwa Izilayeli nchindisamide nketani eezi lino.
21 "For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
Mpawo bakati kulinguwe, “Takwe anitwakatambula magwalo aambula azyanduwe, naba umwi wabakwesu wakaza kuzotwambila azyako, nikuba kwamba chimwi chibi atala anduwe.
22 But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
Pesi tukumbila nduwe kuti uyeeya buti abukombi obu, nkaambo tulizi kuti bunowaambulwa azyambubo koonse koonse.
23 So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
Nibakabamba buzuba bwakuyooma anguwe, bantu biingi bakali kusika kung'anda yakwe. Wakabaambila kaambo kakwe, alubo kalungulula azyabwami bwa Leza. Wakeezya kubakombelezya azya Jesu, kubikka aamwi kuzwa kumulawu wa Mozesi awaba sinsimi kuzwa kuseni kuyosika goko.
24 Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
Bamwi bakazumina aatala azintu ezi zyakali kwaambwa, pesi bamwi tebakazumina pe.
25 Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
Nibakakkachilwa kuzuminana kumakani aya, bakazwa bamusiya Pawulu kali wamba ijwi eli: “Muuya Uusalala wakaambula kwiindilila muli Isaya musinsimi kuli bamawuso,
26 "'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
“Wakati, koya kubantu aba ukaambe kuti, 'Akumvwa muyoomvwa pesi tamukwe nimuyomvwisisisya pe. akubona mulakubona pesi takwepe kunobenesesya loko.
27 For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
Nkambo moyo wabantu aba wasitikwa, amatwi abo takonomvwa pe, alubo bakafwinya meso aabo, mbokunga ngabalabona ameso abo mpawo bamvwe amatwi abo mpawo bamvwisisye amyoyo yabo mpawo basanduke lubo kuti ndibaponisye.”
28 "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
Nchinchicho, mwelede kuziba kuti olu lufutuko lwa Leza lwakatuminwa bamasi alubo bayoswilizya.
Lino nakamba makani aya, bama Juda bakeenda alubo bakanyongana loko.
30 After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
Pawulu wakakkala minyaka ibiili mung'anda yakwe mwini yakuula.
31 He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
Wakali kukambawuka bwami bwa Leza, alubo wakalikuyiisya azya Mwami Jesu Kkilisito abusichaamba buzulide kakutakwe achimugulungania pe.
