Acts 28
1 And when they were safe on shore, they understood, that the island was called Melita.
Mpotwalapuluka ne kushika cena ku mutunta, bantu bakusa balatwambileti, kuno ku mutunta nkomubele nipa nsumbu ikute kukwiweti Melita.
2 And the barbarians shewed us uncommon humanity: for they kindled a fire and took us all in, because of the present rain, and of the cold.
Bantu aba balikuba baina myoyo. Balatutambula cena, balatukunkila mulilo pakwinga kwalikuba mpepo cebo ca mfula yali kuloka.
3 And Paul having gathered together a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came out a viper from the heat, and fastened on his hand.
Paulo walaya kutema muleye wankuni. Lino cindi ncalabika muleye wa nkuni uwo pamulilo, njoka yabululu yalikubamo mpoyalanyumfwa kulungula, yalasolomokamo ne kumuluma Paulo kucikasa.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous creature hanging on his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, though he hath been saved from the sea, yet justice suffereth not to live.
Bantu ba uko mpobalabona njoka kaili yalelela ku cikasa ca Paulo, balambeti, “Cakubinga muntuyu ni kapondo, nambi wapuluka palwenje, lesa wetu wabululami nkasuni kwambeti uyu muntu ekale ne buyumi.”
5 But he shook off the creature into the fire, and suffered no hurt.
Paulo waisansamwina pamulilo, uliya kulingwapo sobwe.
6 They however were expecting that he would swell, or suddenly fall down dead: but when they had waited a good while, and saw no hurt come to him, they changed their opinion and said that he was a god.
Bantu balikuyeyeti nashimbe, nambi kufwa kwakwinsa kwalamuka. Nomba mpobalalangila kwacindi citali, ne kuboneti paliya cilenshiki pali Paulo, balambeti, “Ni lesa!”
7 Now in the parts adjacent to this place was the seat of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius, who took us into his house, and entertained us three days courteously.
Capepi napo mpotwalikuba, palikuba mabala amutangunishi wapa nsumbu ya Melita walikukwiweti Pabulosi. Walatutambula ca makasa abili, twalekala nendi masuba atatu.
8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery: to whom Paul went in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
Baishi Pabulosi balikuba bona kabakolwa bulwashi bwa kulungula mubili, kayi ne cinkumbe. Paulo walaya mu ng'anda mobalikuba, walapaila nekubika makasa akendi palyendibo, popelapo balasengulwa.
9 Upon this, others also in the island, who had diseases came to him and were cured:
Panyuma mpocalenshika ici bantu bonse balikukolwa malwashi pansumbu apa, balatatika kwisa kuli Paulo, kayi balasengulwa.
10 who also honoured us with many honors, and furnished us, when we departed, with such things as were necessary.
Balatulemekesha munshila shingi. Mpotwalengila mu bwato bunene kwambeti twenga, balatubikilamo bintu nabimbi byalikuyandika pa bulwendo bwetu.
11 And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
Panyuma pakwikalako myenshi itatu, twalatanta bwato bunene bwalikufuma ku Alekisandiliya, kuntangu kwa bwato ubu kwalikuba cikoshano ya “Balesa Bampundu.” Ubu bwato bunene bwalikuba apa pa nsumbu cindi conse ca mupewo.
12 And being arrived at Syracuse, we staid there three days.
Mpotwalashika ku munshi wa Sulakusa, twalekalako masuba atatu.
13 From whence coasting round we came to Rhegium, and after one day a south-wind rising, we came the second day to Puteoli:
Kufuma uko, twalenda ne kuya kushika ku munshi wa Legiyamu. Busuba bwalakonkapo, lukupwe lwalatatika kupupula kufumina ku musansa. Pabusuba bwatubili twalashika pa cito ca Potiyolo.
14 where finding some brethren, we were desired to stay with them seven days: and so we went on to Rome.
Uko twalacanako banse abo balatusengeti, twikale nabo kwa nsondo imo. Twalatatika bulwendo bwetu bwa mapwililisho pakuya kushika ku Loma.
15 And when the brethren heard of us, they came from thence to meet us, some as far as Appii-forum, and others to the Three-taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
Banse baku Loma mpobalanyumfweti tuli munshila, balatucinsha mpaka kushika ku musena walikukwiweti, “Cibansa camakwebo ca Apiya,” Kayi ne kumusena kwalikukwiweti, “Manda Atatu Abensu.” Paulo mpwalababona, walalumba Lesa kayi walayuminishiwa.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was permitted to live by himself with the soldier that had him in custody.
Mpotwalashika ku Loma, Paulo balamusuminisha kwikala enka kalondwa ne mushilikali.
17 And after three days Paul called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were come together, he said unto them, Brethren, though I have done nothing against the people of the Jews, or the customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:
Mpopalapita masuba atatu, Paulo walakuwa batangunishi ba Ciyuda kwambeti abandike nabo. Mpobalabungana pamo, Paulo walabambileti, “Baislayeli baname, nikukabeti paliya caipa ncondalensa kuli banse betu, nambi kutoteka miyambo ya bamashali betu bakulu kulu, Bayuda balansungisha mu Yelusalemu, ne kuntwala mu makasa aba Loma.
18 who when they had examined me, would have set me at liberty, because there was no crime worthy of death found in me:
Baloma mpobalanjipusha mipusho kwambeti benshibe makani ncabele, balayanda kunsungulula pakwinga baliya kucana mulandu ngondelela kufwilapo.
19 but the Jews opposing it, I was obliged to appeal to Cesar; though not as having any thing to accuse my nation of.
Nsombi Bayuda nkabalikuyandeti ame nsungululwe sobwe, ecebo cakendi ndalasengeti Mwami Mukulene wa ku Loma kuno awomboloshe mulandu wakame. Nikukabeco ame ndiya mfundilishi ne bantu bamushobo wakame sobwe.
20 For this reason therefore I desired to see and to speak to you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
Ecebo cakendi ncondamukuwili kwambeti ng'ambe ne njamwe. Ame ndasungwa ncetani cebo ca muntuyo ngobalapembelelenga Baislayeli bonse.”
21 And they said to him, We have neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, nor has any of the brethren, that is come hither, related or spoken any ill of thee.
Balo balakumbuleti, “Tuliya kutambulapo makalata kufuma ku Yudeya alambanga makani akobe. Kayi paliya banse betu bafuma uko kwisa kutwambila makani aipa pali njobe sobwe.
22 But we would willingly hear from thee what thou thinkest: for as to this sect, we know that it is every where spoken against.
Nomba tulayandanga kulinyumfwila tobene miyeyo yakobe, pakwinga tucinshi kwambeti kulikonse bantu balambangeti mu likoto mobele nkalilipo cena sobwe.”
23 And having appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he discoursed and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and from the prophets, from morning till evening.
Neco balabamba busuba bumbi bwa kwisa kubandika ne Paulo, Bangi bali kwisa kung'anda nkwali kwikala. Kufuma mumene mene mpaka mansailo, Paulo wali kubasansululwila ne kubakambaukila makani a Bwami bwa Lesa. Walelekesha kubambila makani alambanga pali Yesu kwambeti bashome, pa kubambila byalembwa mu Milawo ya Mose ne mu mabuku alalembwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu.
24 And some regarded the things that were spoken, but others did not believe.
Nabambi batangunishi balashoma makani ngalikwamba Paulo, nsombi nabambi baliya kwashoma sobwe.
25 And so disagreeing one with another they separated, when Paul had said one word, to wit, that the holy Spirit spake rightly by Esaias the prophet to our fathers,
Lino nkapalikuba kunyumfwana cena pakati pabo, neco bapalangana Paulo mpwalamba maswi akupwililisheti, “Cakubinga Mushimu Uswepa walamba cena kupitila muli mushinshimi Yesaya, pa kwambila bamashali betu bakulukulu eti,
26 saying, Go to this people and say, Ye shall hear by the hearing of the ear, and not understand; and in seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: for the heart of this people is stupified,
“Koya ku bantu aba ubambileti, kunyumfwa nimukanyumfwenga, nsombi nteti mukanyumfwishishenga sobwe. Kubona nimukabonenga, nsombi nteti mukabonesheshenga sobwe.
27 and they hear heavily with their ears, and have closed their eyes; least they should see at all with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
Pakwinga bantu aba bayuma myoyo, kayi matwi ashinka, ne menso abo acalika. Necabuleco, ne balalangishisha cena, ne kunyumfwishisha cena, ne kuba ne myoyo ilayandishishinga kwinshiba kwambeti bashiye bwipishi bwabo, kwambeti Ame ndibasengule.”
28 Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
Paulo walapitilisha kubambileti, “Mwelela kwinshibeti beshikukambauka makani a lupulusho lwa Lesa, batumwa ku bantu bamishobo naimbi, pakwinga balo nibakanyumfwe!”
29 And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having much debate among themselves.
Paulo mpwalapwisha kwambeco Bayuda balafumapo kabaya kutotekeshana cangofu bene bonka.
30 And Paul abode two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came to him:
Paulo walekala kwa byaka bibili mu ng'anda njali kusonkela, bonse bantu balikwisa kumubona wali kubatambula cena.
31 preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom, none forbidding him.
Walikukambauka sha Bwami bwa Lesa, ne kubeyisha sha Mwami Yesu Klistu kwakubula buyowa, kayi paliya muntu walelekesha ku mukanisha sobwe.
