Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 28
1 Mgbe a pụtara nʼọnụ mmiri ahụ nʼudo, anyị chọpụtara na aha agwa etiti ahụ bụ Malta.
And being got safe to land, they then knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Ndị obodo ahụ gosiri anyị obiọma nʼụzọ pụrụ iche. Ha kwanyere anyị ọkụ ma nabatakwa anyị nʼihi na mmiri nọ na-ezo, oyi na-atụkwa.
And the barbarians treated us with uncommon humanity; for having kindled a fire, they brought us all to it, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Nʼoge Pọl na-achịkọta nkụ itinye nʼọkụ a, otu agwọ ajụala sitere nʼime nkụ na-enwu ọkụ mapụta nʼihi okpomọkụ tụhịkọ onwe ya nʼaka ya.
Now, as Paul was gathering up a bundle of sticks, and laying them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened upon his hand.
4 Mgbe ndị obodo ahụ hụrụ agwọ ahụ ka ọ tụhịkọtara onwe ya nʼaka ya, ha gwarịtara onwe ha, “nʼezie a, nwoke a bụ ogbu mmadụ, a naghị eji ọkụ enyo ya. Ọ bụ ezie na azọpụtara ya site oke mmiri, ma ikpe ziri ezi ekweghị ka ọ dị ndụ.”
And as soon as the barbarians saw the fierce animal hanging on his hand, they said one to another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom justice has not permitted to live, though he be saved from the sea.
5 Ma Pọl fepụrụ agwọ ahụ nʼaka ya, mee ka ọ daba nʼọkụ, ọ dịghịkwa ihe mere ya.
But he, shaking off the fierce animal into the fire, suffered no evil.
6 Ha na-ele anya ma aka ya ọ ga-aza, maọbụ na ọ ga-ada nwụọ. Ma mgbe ha chegidere hụ na o nweghị ihe mere ya, ha gbanwere obi ha bido na-ekwu, na ọ bụ chi.
However, they expected that he should have swollen, or suddenly have fallen down dead: and having waited a considerable time, and seeing no mischief befall him, changing their minds, they said he was a god.
7 Na nso ọnụ mmiri a ebe anyị kwụsịrị, otu ubi dị ya. Ọ bụ ubi Pobilios otu nwoke onyeisi na-achị agwa etiti ahụ. Ọ nabatara anyị nke ọma, lee anyị ọbịa ụbọchị atọ.
And in the neighborhood of that place, there was the estate of the chief of the island, whose name was Publius; who, having received us into his house, entertained us in a courteous manner for three days.
8 Nʼoge ahụ, nna Pobilios nwere ahụ ọkụ na afọ ọsịsa, Pọl banyere nʼime obodo gaa leta ya, kpeere ya ekpere, bikwasịkwa ya aka. Ahụ dịkwara ya mma.
And so it was, that the father of Publius, being seized with a fever and bloody flux, was confined to his bed: to whom Paul going in, and having prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Mgbe nke a mechara, ndị niile nwere nrịa nrịa nʼagwa etiti ahụ bịakwara, a gwọkwara ha.
Now, therefore, when this miracle was wrought, the rest also, who had disorders, in the island, came, and were healed.
10 Ha wetaara anyị ọtụtụ ihe onyinye. Mgbe oge ịnyapụ ụgbọ anyị ruru, ha nyere anyị ọtụtụ ihe dị anyị mkpa nke pụrụ idu anyị nʼije ahụ.
Who also honored us with great honors; and when we departed, put on board such things as were necessary.
11 Anyị nọrọ ihe dịka ọnwa atọ nʼoge oyi, nʼagwa etiti ahụ tutu anyị anyalie ụgbọ. Ọ bụ ụgbọ ndị Alegzandria nke bu ihe a tụrụ atụ a na-akpọ ejima, bụ chi Kastọ na Polụkus.
And after three months, we departed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Anyị bịaruru obodo Sirakọs ebe anyị nọrọ ụbọchị atọ.
And being arrived at Syracuse, we continued there three days.
13 Site nʼebe ahụ, anyị gara gburugburu tutu rute Rejiọm. Mgbe otu ụbọchị gafere, ikuku bidoro ife site na ndịda. Nʼụbọchị nke abụọ ya, anyị rutere Pọteọlị.
From thence we coasted round, and came over against Rhegium. And after one day the south wind arising, we came, in two days, to Puteoli:
14 Nʼebe a anyị chọpụtara ndị kwere ekwe ndị rịọrọ ka anyị nọnyere ha ụbọchị asaa. Site nʼebe a, anyị rutere Rom.
where we found brethren, and were entreated to stay with them seven days: and so we went for Rome.
15 Mgbe ụmụnna anyị nọ nʼebe ahụ nụrụ na anyị na-abịa. Ha pụtara zute anyị nʼụzọ Apiọs na nʼụlọ ndị Ije atọ. Mgbe Pọl hụrụ ha, o kelere Chineke ma bụrụ onye a gbara ume.
And from thence, the brethren, having heard of our affairs, came out to meet us, as far as Apii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom, when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Mgbe anyị bịaruru Rom, e nyere Pọl ohere ibiri onwe ya dịka o si chọọ nʼebe masịrị ya. Ma otu onye agha na-eche ya nche.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the band: but Paul was permitted to dwell apart, in a house of his own, with a soldier that guarded him.
17 Mgbe ụbọchị atọ gasịrị, ọ kpọrọ ndịisi ndị Juu. Mgbe ha zukọrọ, ọ gwara ha, “Ụmụnna m, ọ dịghị ihe ọjọọ ọbụla m mere megide ndị nke anyị, maọbụ megide omenaala nna nna anyị ha, ha jidere m na Jerusalem were m nyefee m nʼaka ndị Rom.
And it came to pass, that, after three days, Paul called together those that were the chief of the Jews. And when they were come together, he said to them, Brethren, though I have done nothing contrary to the people, nor to our paternal customs, yet I was delivered a prisoner, from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans;
18 Ndị ọchịchị Rom lenyere anya nʼikpe m chọọ ịhapụ m ka m laa nʼihi na ha achọtaghị ihe kwesiri ịma m ikpe ọnwụ dịka ndị anyị chọrọ.
who, having examined me, were willing to have set me at liberty, as there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ma mgbe ndị Juu jụrụ, ahụrụ m na ọ dị mkpa ibutere Siza ikpe m. Ma o nweghị ihe ọjọọ m bu nʼuche megide ndị obodo m.
But when the Jews opposed, I was obliged to appeal to Cesar; not as having anything of which to accuse my own nation.
20 Nʼihi nke a, ka m jiri rịọọ ka mụ na unu hụ ma kwurịtakwa okwu. Ọ bụ nʼihi olileanya nke Izrel ka e ji kee m nʼagbụ igwe a.”
For this reason, therefore, I entreated, that I might see and speak with you; for on account of the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 Ha sịrị, “Anyị anataghị akwụkwọ ozi ọbụla site na Judịa banyere gị. Ọ dịghịkwa ụmụnna anyị ọbụla nke si ebe ahụ bịa nke kọrọ maọbụ kwuo okwu ọjọọ ọbụla banyere gị.
And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you; nor have any of the brethren, that have come hither, related, or said, any evil concerning you.
22 Otu ọ dị, anyị ga-achọ ịnụta ihe i chere, nʼihi na anyị maara na a na-ekwujọ otu a nʼebe niile.”
But we desire to hear from you, what you think; for as concerning this sect, we know that it everywhere spoken against.
23 Ha yiri agba mgbe ha na ya ga-ezukọta nʼụbọchị ọzọ. Ọtụtụ mmadụ karịrị bịara nʼụlọ ebe ọ na-anọ. Ọ gbara ama banyere alaeze Chineke site nʼakwụkwọ iwu Mosis na nke ndị amụma, ọ gbalịrị ime ka ha kwenye nʼihe banyere Jisọs. O bidoro izi ha ihe site nʼụtụtụ ruo anyasị.
And having appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things that relate to Jesus; both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Ụfọdụ ka e mere ka ha kweere, ma ụfọdụ mechiri ntị ha na obi ha.
And some were persuaded by the things which were spoken; and some believed not.
25 Ha nwe nghọtahie nʼetiti onwe ha ma malite ịla mgbe Pọl kwusiri okwu nke ikpeazụ a, “Mmụọ Nsọ Chineke kwuru eziokwu mgbe o sitere nʼọnụ Aịzaya onye amụma kwuo okwu nye nna nna anyị ha,
And disagreeing with each other, they broke up the assembly: Paul saying this one word, Surely, well did the Holy Spirit speak, by Isaiah the prophet, to our fathers,
26 “‘Jekwuru ndị a gwa ha okwu, “Unu ga na-anụ, nụkwa, ma unu agaghị aghọta ihe ọbụla, unu ga na-ele anya, hụkwa, ma unu agaghị ahụ ihe ọbụla.”
when he said, "Go to this people and say, Hearing you will hear, and will not understand; and seeing you will see, and will not perceive:
27 Nʼihi na obi ndị a amaala abụba, dịkwa arọ; ha adịghị ejikwa ntị ha anụ ihe, ha mechikwara anya ha ka ha ghara ịhụ ụzọ. Ma ọ bụghị otu a, ha nwere ike iji anya ha hụ ụzọ, jirikwa ntị ha nụ ihe sitekwa nʼobi ha nwe nghọta ma chigharịa bịakwute m, ka m gwọọ ha.’
for the heart of this people is become gross, and with their ears they hear heavily; and they have drawn their eyes together, lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
28 “Ya mere, a chọrọ m ka unu ghọta na nzọpụta a nke si nʼaka Chineke bịa, dịkwa nye ndị mba ọzọ, ha ga-egekwa ntị.”
Therefore be it known to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 Mgbe o kwusiri nke a, ndị Juu ahụ lara na-arụrịta ụka nke ukwu nʼetiti onwe ha.
And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having great debates among themselves.
30 O biri obi nke onwe ya afọ abụọ nʼụlọ ọ na-akwụ ụgwọ ya. Ọ na-anabatakwa ndị niile bịara ileta ya,
But Paul continued two whole years in his own hired house, and received all who came to him;
31 o ji mkwuwa okwu na-ekwusa ihe banyere alaeze Chineke na-akụzikwa ihe banyere Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst. Ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla gbalịrị igbochi ya.
announcing the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which relate to the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom of speech, and without any restraint.
