Acts 28
1 Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
Patamali kuhika bwina kundumba ndi tamanyili kuvya chisiwa chila chikemelewa 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.
Takangisi ndava vakolonjinji vatihengili gabwina neju tete. Fula ndi yatumbula kutonya na kwavili na mbepu, hinu vakoyili motu na kutigongolela.
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.
Pauli anongili ndwika udebe wa sagala akazikohokea pamotu, penapo ndava ya lyoto la motu, limoma lahumalili musagala na lamulumili Pauli muchiwoko na kujikamulisa.
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."
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, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
Nambu mwene akakung'undila limoma pamotu na alemili lepi hati padebe.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
Palahumalili lijambu lenilo, vatamu voha muchisiwa chenicho vabwelili na kulamiswa mewa.
10 They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
Vandu vatipelili njombi ndalindali lukumbi patatumbwili kavili lugendu vayingisi vindu vyoha vyetaganilli muwatu.
11 Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
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 At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
Patahikili pamuji wa Silakusa, tatamili penapo mu magono gadatu.
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.
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 Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.
Kwenuko tavakoli valongo vamsadika, ndi vatigongolili titama nawu mulijuma limonga. Kangi tayendalili na lugendu kuhika 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.
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 Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
Petahikili ku Loma Pauli ayidakiliwi kutama mwene pamonga na linjolinjoli mmonga wa kumlindalila.
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.
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 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.
Valumi pevamali kunikotakesa vaganili kunilekekesa muni nahengili lepi chindu chihakau chechikunigana kukomiwa.
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.
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 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."
Ndava ya genago ndi nivakemelili tiwonanganayi na kulongela na nyenye, muni nikungiwi minyololo iyi ndava ya lilagizu la Chapanga kwa Isilaeli.”
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.
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 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."
Nambu tigana kuyuwana maholo gaku wamwene, muni timanya kuvya chikundi chenicho chibelelewa kila pandu.”
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.
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 Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
Vangi pagati yavi vakofyiliwi malovi gaki, nambu vangi vasadiki lepi.
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:
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 "'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.
akajova, ‘Uvahambila vandu ava uvajovela, kuyuwana yati mwiyuwana, nambu nakumanya, kulola yati mwilola, nambu yati mwimanya lepi.
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.'
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 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."
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 After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
Palukumbi lwa miyaka yivili, Pauli atamili munyumba yeapangili mwene, avagongolili munyumba vandu voha vevabwelili kumjambusa.
31 He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
Avakokosili malovi ga Unkosi wa Chapanga na kuwula vandu ndava ya Bambu Yesu Kilisitu kwa ukekesi na changabesiwa na mundu.
