Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
Patwaiche kwa chitendewele ku nsanga, twaimanyi kuti chilumba chila chikuŵilanjikwa Melita.
2 and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Ni ŵandu ŵangali lunda ŵatutendele yambone nnope. Ula jatandite kunya ni kwaliji ni mbepo, ŵatukolechesye mooto tujootele ni kutukalibisya.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.
Che Paolo ŵalokwete litenje lya sasu ni ŵasiŵisile pa mooto. Paŵaŵikaga, lijoka lyakopweche ligongo lya ntukuta wa mooto ula lyaliŵilijile pankono wakwe.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, 'Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;'
Ŵandu ŵa kweleko wo paŵaliweni lijoka lili nkuliŵilijila pankono wakwe ŵasalilene, “Kusyene mundu ju ali jwakuulaga, namuno akulupwiche mmeesi nambo chisasi cha nnungu jwetu jwankongwe jwakuŵilanjikwa Haki ngachikunneka alame.”
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Nambo che Paolo ŵalikung'undile lijoka lyo pa mooto ni nganilimpeteka namose kanandi.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Ŵandu ŵala ŵaliji nkulolela kuti pane tuimbe nkono, pane chagwe ni kuwa papopo. Nambo paŵalolele nnope ni nganachiwona chindu chakwaŵenga chichapatile, ni ŵagalawisye ng'anisyo syao ni kuti ali jumo jwa achiminungu.
7 And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];
Pachiŵandi ni pepala kwaliji ni migunda ja jwankulu jwa chilumba chila jwakuŵilanjikwa che Pabulio. Mundu ju ŵatupochele yambone ni twatemi mu nyuumba jao ja achalendo kwa moŵa gatatu.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Atati ŵao che Pabulio ŵaliji agonile ali nkulwala chiilu ni mmatumbo mwa miasi. Che Paolo ŵajawile kukwalola ni paŵamasile kupopela, ŵasajichile makono gao ni kunlamya.
9 this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
Payakopochele yeleyo, iyoyo peyo ŵakulwala ŵajinji ŵaŵatamaga mu chilumba chila ŵaiche, nombewo ŵalamiswe.
10 who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
Ŵandu ŵala ŵatuchimbichisye nnope, ni katema patwatyokaga ŵatupele yose iyatusoŵile mu ulendo wetu.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Pajapite miesi jitatu, twatandite sooni ulendo wetu kwa ngalaŵa jekulungwa jimo jijasigele mu chilumba mula, jichilindililaga gapite kaje moŵa ga mbepo. Ngalaŵa jila jakopochele ku Alekisandilia ni jaŵilanjikwe “Achiminungu Maŵila.”
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Twaiche ku Silakusa ni twatemi pelepo moŵa gatatu.
13 thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;
Kutyochela pelepo twasyungwile mumbali ni twaiche ku Legio. Malaŵi jakwe jatandite kupuga mbungo kutyochela kulujenda ni pagapite moŵa gaŵili twaiche ku Puteoli.
14 where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
Kweleko twasimene ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu achinjetu ni ŵatuchondelele tutame pamo nawo chijuma chimo. Kwanti nyi ni itwatite pakwika ku Loma.
15 and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Loma paŵapilikene ngani syetu ŵaiche mpaka Pakusumichisya Malonda che Apio ni ŵane ku Majumba Gatatu ga Achalendo kukutuchingamila. Che Paolo paŵaweni ŵelewo ŵaatogolele Akunnungu ni ŵalimbiswe ntima.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Patwaiche ku Loma ŵakundile kuti che Paolo atame pajikape pamo ni jwangondo juŵanlindililaga.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: 'Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;
Pagapite moŵa gatatu che Paolo ŵaaŵilasile achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵatamaga kweleko. Paŵasongangene pamo ni ŵaasalile, “Achalongo achinjangu, uneji nataŵikwe ku Yelusalemu kula ni kutagwa mmakono ga Ŵaloma namuno nganindende magambo gagaligose kwa ŵandu ŵangu pane kugapwanya masyoŵelo ga achambuje ŵetu.
18 who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
Paŵamasile kuusyausya, Ŵaloma ŵasakaga kung'opola pakuŵa kwangu une nganagasimana magambo gakuŵajilwa kuulajikwa.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵakanile yeleyo, nasachile kulamulikwa ni Mwenye jwa ku Loma, nachiŵamuno nganingola chakwaŵechetela ŵandu ŵa musi wangu.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.'
Kwaligongo lyo nanchondelele ŵanyamwe kuti tuonegane ni kuŵecheta nomwe pakuŵa ndaŵikwe kwa nyolo si ligongo lya chilolelo cha Ŵaisilaeli chiŵalanjile Akunnungu.”
21 And they said unto him, 'We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,
Ni ŵanyawo ŵatite “Uweji nganitupochele chikalata kutyochela ku Yudea nkati alakwe atamuno achinjetu ŵaŵaiche akuno kukutusalila pane kuŵecheta chindu chakusakala nkati alakwe.
22 and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;'
Nambo tukusaka kupilikana pakang'wa penu inkuti paaganisya pakuŵa tukumanyilila kuti palipose akusala kuti mpingo wo uli wangalumbana.”
23 and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,
Nipele ŵasagwile lyuŵa lya kuchingangana ni che Paolo ni ŵaiche ŵandu ŵajinji nnope ku nyuumba kuŵatamaga. Kutandila kundaŵi mpaka ligulo che Paolo ŵaliji nkwasalila yejinji ya Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwajiganya ngani sya Che Yesu kutyochela mmalajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni itabu ya ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu achisakaga kwanyenga kuti ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu.
24 and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Ŵane ŵajitichisye iŵasalilaga yo nambo ŵane ŵakanile.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — 'Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
Nipele nganajiilana achinsyene pe, ni ŵatyosile pelepo pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaasalile, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵasasile usyene kwa achambuje ŵenu kwa kang'wa ja jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu che Isaya,
26 saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,
achitiji, ‘Njaule kwa ŵandu ŵa nkaasalile, kupilikana chimpilikane, nambo ngasammanyilila, Kulola chinnole nambo ngasambona.
27 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.
Pakuŵa mitima ja ŵandu ŵa jilimbile, asiŵilile mawiwi gao ni meeso gao gasisine. Melepe akasaona kwa meeso gao, akasapilikana kwa mawiwi gao, akasamanyilila kwa mitima jao, akasapitikuchila kwa une, noneji ngalamisye.’”
28 'Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;'
Nombe che Paolo ŵatite sooni, “Mmanyilile ŵanyamwe kuti, ukulupusyo wa Akunnungu wu wejausye kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, nombewo chaupilikane!”
29 and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
Che Paolo paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo Ŵayahudi ŵakopweche ali nkukanilana nnope achinsyene pe.
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
Nipele che Paolo ŵatemi yaka iŵili mu nyuumba jiŵalipilaga jila. Ni ŵaapochele ŵandu wose ŵaŵaikaga kukwalola.
31 preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
Ŵalalichilaga ŵandu ngani ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni kwajiganya ŵandu nkati Ambuje Che Yesu Kilisito pangajogopa ni nganapagwa jwannekasisye.
