Jesu Tondiba Tuona 28
1 Tin den ciadi, ke bi gedi yeni ti li jaali po, ke ti bandi ke li kpendegli yii Malti.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 Bi dogtieba den ki ga ti cangu baba ka, ama bi den cuoni u mu ti po kelima ki taaga yeni ti waadi po.
The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Ama Pɔli ń baani ti baadi ki tieni u mu nni, ke ku muwalgu tuogi li waalabli ke li finfini o nuu.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 Bi dogtieba ń la ke li waalabli juani Pɔli nuu, ke bi ji maadi bi ŋmiali nni k tua. “Ya nilo ne baa tie nikpalo i, ke sani ki ciadi mi ñima nni, ama yeni wan ciadi mi ñima nni kuli, U Tienu teginma naa tuo ke wan ya pia miali.”
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 Ama, o den yogi ki luni o waa o mu nni, ke bonliba ki tieni o.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
6 Bi den guu ke u yukɔnu ń cedi wan mɔli, bii wan ti cii ki baa ki kpe i. Ama ban den li kpaagi o ke li waagi ke liba kuli ki pia o, bi den lebdi bi maalma ki yedi ke o baa tie bulo i.
But they expected that he would have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 Mi tinfanma den ye kaa fagi yeni likani, ki tie li kpendegli yudaano ke o yii Pubiliyusi ya tinga. O den ga ti cangu bonŋanla hali dana taa.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 Li sua ke u yukɔnu yeni ki canbuonga cuo Pubiliyusi báa. Pɔli ń gedi o kani, ki jaandi, ki maani o nui o po, ki tebi o.
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Lani ń pendi, ya niba n den yia li kpendegli po kuli den cua Pɔli kani ke o jaandi ke bi paagi.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Bi dogtieba mo den cɔlni ti, ki tieni ti li seli. Tin den bobindi ki bua fii ki cabi ba, bi den teni ti yaali n tie ti bonbuakaana.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 Lan tieni ŋmaali taa, ke ti kua ya ñinbiagu n den ye li kpendegli kani ku faawaagu yognu, Aleksandri ñinbiagu ke “A bulileba” nannanli ya ku po
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 Lan pendi, ti den sedi Sirakusi, ki tieni dana taa.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 Tin ñani likani, ti fii ki gedi Rejiyo dociamu nni. Tin tieni dayenli, ke ku faagu ñani yanbangu ki luodi, dana lie siiga ke ti pundi Pusolesi dociamu nni.
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 Likani, ti den kadi yeni ti kpiiba ke bi ga ti cangu dana lele. Ti den kubi yeni i ki ban pundi Roma.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 Lankani ke ti kpiiba den gbadi ti maama, ki tuogi ti hali ke ti da ye Apiwu daaga nni yeni A Candietaada kani. Pɔli ń la ti kpiiba, ke o jaandi U Tienu ki ba li papaali.
From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Tin pundi Roma, bi den cabi Pɔli ke o ye o baba i wani yeni seje yua n guu o.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Lan tieni dana taa ke Pɔli yini Juufinba yudanba ki taani. Ban pundi, ke o maadi ba, “N kpiiba, bake mii tieni tudma bakuli, ke mi nua ti buolu, bii ti bogda bii ti jaajanba, bi cuo nni nani kpaadli yeni Jerusalema, ki mubni nni Roma yaaba nui nni.
It happened that after three days he called together those who were the Jewish leaders. When they had come together, he said to them, "I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
18 Ban den buali nni ibuali, bi den jagi ke ban cabi nni, kelima, baa den la min tieni yaali ke li dagdi yeni mi kuuma cuonu.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ama Juufinba ń den yie bi maama, li den tua n po taladi ke mi suagi n maama o badciamo Sesari kani, Li naa tie ke n pia jalgi bakuli n buolu po.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Kelima min suagi ti buudi ne yeni i, ke n mia ke min kali yeni yi, ki maadi yi min pia ya maama. Kelima Israyeli dandanli po ke n ye yeni i kudseseli ne.”
For this cause therefore I asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain."
21 Ke bi yedi o, “Ti ki kpeliki ga tisɔnkaali, ke li ñani Jude, ki maadi a maama, ti kpiiba siiga nni mo obakuli ki kpeli togdi a maama ki maadi a po bonbiigu.
They said to him, "We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.
22 Ama ti bua tin cengi fini aba kani i, ŋan pia ya maalma u jaanbuolu yeni po, kelima ti bani ke i kaani kuli, baa pia maalŋanma bakuli li jaanbuolu po.”
But we desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against."
23 Ban bili o ya daali, bi niba boncianla den cua o kani, wan ye naani. Ke o waani ba o maama, ki tieni kasiedi, ki waani U Tienu diema. O den cili siŋaagu hali yeni ku yenjuogu, ki taa sani lie kuli ki ba lebdi bi yama, ban tuo ki ga ke Jesu maama tie maamɔnma, yini n tie Moyiisi yiko tili yeni bi sawalpuaba maama.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Bi niba bi siiga den tuo ke wan maadi ya maama tie mɔmɔni, ama bi tianba den ki dugi o maama po.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 Nani bi maama ń den ki cendi yeni, bi den yadi ki kuni ya yogu ke Pɔli maadi ba ya lanbona ne, “Mi Foŋanma den pia i mɔni man kadi ki waani i yaajanba o sawalpualo Esayi maama nni.
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
26 O den yedi, 'Gedi ya nibuolu ne kani, ki maadi ba, “I cengi yeni i tuba, i naa gbia; ki nua yeni i nuni, ama i naa gbia niima nni.
saying, 'Go to this people, and say, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way perceive.
27 Kelima ya nibuolu ne pali tadi ki juagi, baa gbia bonŋanli yeni bi tuba, ki ŋubni bi nuni. Bi jie ke ban la yeni bi nuni, ki gbadi yeni bi tuba, ki go gbadi niima nni yeni bi pali, ki da ti lebdi bi pala, min tebi ba.”
For this people's heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.'
28 “Lanwani ii, yin ya bani ke bi sɔni ki waani bi nilanba U Tienu ŋanbli, ke bi tuo ki ba cengi, ki ba ga li.”
"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
29 Wan maadi lan ya maama, ke bi yadi, ki gagi bi ŋmiali nni boncianla.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Pɔli den tieni binmuna lie i wan den haya ya diegu nni, ki gaani yaaba n caa o kani kuli.
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 O den wangi U Tienu Diema maama, ki go tundi ba yaali n nua O Diedo Jesu Kiristi po yeni li papaali. Nilobakuli den ki pani o o tuona po.
proclaiming the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
