Atũmwo 28
1 Twaarĩkia gũkinya hũgũrũrũ-inĩ tũtarĩ na ũũru, nĩguo twamenyire atĩ gĩcigĩrĩra kĩu gĩetagwo Malita.
And when they were come safe, then they knewe that the Yle was called Melita.
2 Nao atũũri a gĩcigĩrĩra kĩu magĩtuonia ũtugi wa mwanya. Magĩtwakĩria mwaki tondũ nĩ kuoiraga na kwarĩ na heho na magĩtũnyiita ũgeni ithuothe.
And the Barbarians shewed vs no litle kindnesse: for they kindled a fire, and receiued vs euery one, because of the present showre, and because of the colde.
3 Nake Paũlũ akĩoya gĩkundi gĩa tũkũ, na rĩrĩa aatũĩkagĩra riiko-rĩ, nduĩra ĩkiumĩra nĩ ũndũ wa ũrugarĩ wa mwaki, ĩkĩĩoherera guoko-inĩ gwake.
And when Paul had gathered a nomber of stickes, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heate, and leapt on his hand.
4 Rĩrĩa andũ a gĩcigĩrĩra kĩu moonire nduĩra ĩcuuhĩte guoko-inĩ gwake makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ no nginya akorwo nĩ mũũragani, nĩgũkorwo o na gũtuĩka nĩahonokire kuuma iria-inĩ, kĩhooto gĩtimwĩtĩkĩrĩtie atũũre muoyo.”
Nowe when ye Barbarians saw the worme hang on his hand, they said among themselues, This man surely is a murtherer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet Vengeance hath not suffered to liue.
5 Nowe Paũlũ akĩribaribĩra nyoka ĩyo mwaki-inĩ na ndaigana kuona ũndũ mũũru.
But he shooke off the worme into the fire, and felt no harme.
6 Andũ maataanyaga kuona akĩimba kana agwe o rĩmwe akue, no thuutha wa gweterera hĩndĩ ndaaya, makĩona gũtirĩ ũndũ ũtarĩ wa ndũire ũrekĩka harĩ we, makĩĩricũkwo makiuga atĩ aarĩ ngai.
Howbeit they wayted whe he should haue swolne, or fallen downe dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and sawe no inconuenience come to him, they changed their mindes, and said, That he was a God.
7 Na rĩrĩ, hakuhĩ na hau maarĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na gĩthaka kĩarĩ kĩa mũndũ wetagwo Pabulio, ũrĩa warĩ mũnene wa gĩcigĩrĩra kĩu. Nake nĩatũnyiitire ũgeni gwake, na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya ĩtatũ agĩtũtuga wega arĩ na ũtaana.
In the same quarters, the chiefe man of the Yle (whose name was Publius) had possessions: the same receiued vs, and lodged vs three dayes courteously.
8 Nake ithe aarĩ ũrĩrĩ arĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ wa kũhiũha mwĩrĩ na kũharwo thakame. Paũlũ agĩtoonya nyũmba kũmuona, na thuutha wa kũmũhoera akĩmũigĩrĩra moko akĩmũhonia.
And so it was, that the father of Publius lay sicke of the feauer, and of a bloodie flixe: to whom Paul entred in, and when he prayed, he laide his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Rĩrĩa gwekĩkire ũguo, andũ arĩa angĩ maarĩ arũaru gĩcigĩrĩra-inĩ kĩu magĩũka, makĩhonio.
When this then was done, other also in the Yle, which had diseases, came to him, and were healed,
10 Nĩmatuonirie gĩtĩĩo na njĩra nyingĩ, na rĩrĩa twehaarĩirie gũthiĩ magĩtũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe twabataire.
Which also did vs great honour: and when we departed, they laded vs with things necessarie.
11 Thuutha wa mĩeri ĩtatũ tũkĩhaica marikabu yaikarĩte kũu gĩcigĩrĩra-inĩ hĩndĩ ya heho. Nayo yarĩ marikabu ya kuuma Alekisanderia na yarĩ na rũũri rwa ngai cia mahatha iria cietagwo Kasitori na Poluke.
Nowe after three moneths we departed in a shippe of Alexandria, which had wintred in the Yle, whose badge was Castor and Pollux.
12 Twakinya Sirakusi tũgĩikara kuo ihinda rĩa thikũ ithatũ.
And when we arriued at Syracuse, we taried there three dayes.
13 Twoima kũu tũgĩthiĩ tũgĩkinya Regio. Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ gũkĩgĩa na rũhuho rwa kuuma mwena wa gũthini, naguo mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire tũgĩkinya Puteoli.
And from thence we set a compasse, and came to Rhegium: and after one day, the South wind blewe, and we came the seconde day to Putioli:
14 Kũu tũgĩkora ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ amwe, arĩa maatũnyiitire ũgeni, na magĩtũũria tũikaranie nao ihinda rĩa kiumia kĩgima. Ũguo noguo twacookire tũgĩkinya Roma.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tary with them seuen dayes, and so we went toward Rome.
15 Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa maarĩ kũu nĩmaiguĩte atĩ nĩtuokaga, nao magĩũka o nginya ndũnyũ ya Apio, na handũ hetagwo Nyũmba Ithatũ cia Ageni gũtũthaagaana. Nake Paũlũ ona andũ acio, agĩcookeria Ngai ngaatho na akĩigua omĩrĩria.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of vs, they came to meete vs at the Market of Appius, and at the Three tauernes, whom when Paul sawe, he thanked God, and waxed bolde.
16 Rĩrĩa twakinyire Roma, Paũlũ nĩetĩkĩririo aikare arĩ wiki, arĩ na mũthigari wa kũmũrangĩra.
So when we came to Rome, the Centurion deliuered the prisoners to the generall Captaine: but Paul was suffered to dwell by him selfe with a souldier that kept him.
17 Thuutha wa thikũ ithatũ, Paũlũ agĩĩta atongoria a Ayahudi mongane hamwe. Rĩrĩa maagomanire, Paũlũ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ, o na gũtuĩka ndirĩ ũndũ mũũru njĩkĩte andũ aitũ kana ngathũkia mĩtugo ya maithe maitũ-rĩ, nĩndanyiitĩirwo Jerusalemu na ngĩneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Roma.
And the third day after, Paul called the chiefe of the Iewes together: and when they were come, he said vnto them, Men and brethren, though I haue committed nothing against the people, or Lawes of the fathers, yet was I deliuered prisoner from Hierusalem into the handes of the Romanes.
18 Nao magĩĩthuthuuria na makĩenda kũndekia tondũ ndiarĩ na ihĩtia rĩa ũgeri wa ngero rĩa gũtũma njũragwo.
Who when they had examined me, would haue let me goe, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 No rĩrĩa Ayahudi maareganire na itua rĩu, ndirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ ingĩekire tiga gũcookia ciira riiko gwa Kaisari, no ti atĩ ndaarĩ na ũndũ wagũthitangĩra andũ akwa.
But when the Iewes spake contrary, I was constrained to appeale vnto Cesar, not because I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte njũũrie tuonane na inyuĩ na twaranĩrie. Njohetwo na mũnyororo ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wa kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro kĩa andũ a Isiraeli.”
For this cause therefore haue I called for you, to see you, and to speake with you: for that hope of Israels sake, I am bound with this chaine.
21 Nao makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtirĩ twanyiita marũa magũkoniĩ kuuma Judea, na gũtirĩ mũrũ kana mwarĩ wa Ithe witũ ũũkĩte kuuma kuo agatũkinyĩria ũhoro kana akaaria ũndũ mũũru waku.
Then they saide vnto him, We neither receiued letters out of Iudea concerning thee, neither came any of the brethren that shewed or spake any euill of thee.
22 No nĩtũkwenda kũigua woni waku nĩ ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũũĩ atĩ kũndũ guothe andũ nĩmararia magokĩrĩra gĩkundi gĩkĩ.”
But we will heare of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we knowe that euery where it is spoken against.
23 Nao makĩbanga gũcemania na Paũlũ mũthenya mũna, na magĩũka kũrĩa aaikaraga marĩ gĩkundi kĩnene gũkĩra mbere. Kuuma rũciinĩ nginya hwaĩ-inĩ akĩmataara na akĩmoimbũrĩra ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai, na akĩgeria kũmaiguithia ũhoro wa Jesũ kuuma Watho-inĩ wa Musa na kuuma Maandĩko-inĩ ma Anabii.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many vnto him into his lodging, to whom he expounded testifying the kingdome of God, and persuading them those things that concerne Iesus, both out of the Lawe of Moses, and out of the Prophets, from morning to night.
24 Amwe magĩĩtĩkia ũrĩa aameerire, no angĩ makĩaga gwĩtĩkia.
And some were persuaded with ye things which were spoken, and some beleeued not.
25 Nao makĩaga kũiguithania o ene, na makĩambĩrĩria gũthiĩ rĩrĩa maaiguire mũthia-inĩ Paũlũ oiga atĩrĩ, “Roho Mũtheru nĩeerire maithe manyu ũhoro wa ma rĩrĩa aaririe na kanua ka Isaia ũrĩa mũnabii, akiuga atĩrĩ:
Therefore when they agreed not among themselues, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, to wit, Well spake the holy Ghost by Esaias the Prophet vnto our fathers,
26 “‘Thiĩ kũrĩ andũ aya, ũmeere atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũgũtũũra mũiguaga, no mũtikamenya ũndũ; mũgũtũũra muonaga, no mũtigakuũkĩrwo.”
Saying, Goe vnto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand, and seeing ye shall see, and not perceiue.
27 Nĩgũkorwo ngoro cia andũ aya itirĩ tha; matũ mao matingĩhota kũigua, na nĩmahingĩte maitho mao. Tondũ maahota kuona na maitho mao, na maigue na matũ mao, nacio ngoro ciao igĩe na ũmenyo, nao manjookerere, na niĩ ndĩmahonie.’
For the heart of this people is waxed fatte, and their eares are dull of hearing, and with their eyes haue they winked, least they shoulde see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and vnderstand with their heartes, and should returne that I might heale them.
28 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩngwenda mũmenye atĩ ũhonokio wa Ngai nĩũtũmĩtwo kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, nao nĩmegũthikĩrĩria!”
Be it knowen therefore vnto you, that this saluation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they shall heare it.
29 (Na aarĩkia kuuga ũguo-rĩ, Ayahudi magĩthiĩ magĩkararanagia mũno o ene.)
And when he had saide these things, the Iewes departed, and had great reasoning among themselues.
30 Na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩaka ĩĩrĩ mĩgima, Paũlũ agĩikara kũu, arĩ nyũmba yake ya gũkombora, na akanyiitaga ũgeni andũ arĩa othe mokaga kũmuona.
And Paul remained two yeeres full in an house hired for himselfe, and receiued all that came in vnto him,
31 Nĩahunjagia ũhoro wa ũthamaki wa Ngai, na akarutana ũhoro ũkoniĩ Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ arĩ na ũcamba, na hatarĩ na ũndũ ũngĩmũrigĩrĩria.
Preaching the kingdome of God, and teaching those things which concerne the Lord Iesus Christ, with all boldnesse of speache, without let.
