Ntendo nia itumi 28
1 Nai kikapikigwa iziza, kikalinga kina i kisiwa kitangwaa Malta.
And when they were safe on shore, they understood, that the island was called Melita.
2 Antu akola kisali a pang'wanso shanga udu kina ai akinkiiye ukende nua nakanda, ila ai a ikiiye u moto nu kuusingiilya kihi, ku nsoko a mbula nu ulyuuku nai atula ilongolekile.
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.
3 Kuiti uPaulo nai wakatula wilingiila i miligo a nkwii nu kuikila mu moto, nzoka ni niino nikete uhungu akapuma mu nkwi nianso ku nsoko a uwo u upyu, hangi akipalingiilya mu mukono nuakwe.
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.
4 Antu akola ihi a pang'wanso nai akihenga kikali kining'iniie kupuma mu mukono nuakwe, akitambulya enso ku enso, “Muntu uyu kulu kuulu ingi mubulagi naiza utiganile mu luzi, kuiti tai ane shanga imulekee kikie.”
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.
5 Kuiti u ng'wenso akakigumila i kikali iko mu moto hangi shanga ia uligilye u ulugu wihi.
But he shook off the creature into the fire, and suffered no hurt.
6 Ni anso ai amulindiie waimbe u ulwae ang'wi kupumpugiilya awagwe nu kusha. Kuiti ze yakilaa kumugozeela ku itungo ilipu nu kihenga kina kuitili ikani naiza shanga nila nakanda kitalakwe, ai akaie ni masingo ao nu kuligitya ai watulaa itunda.
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.
7 Uugwa kianza ni kanso pakupi ai ikoli ihi naiza atuile nsailo a mukulu nua kisiwa, muntu nui tangwaa Pabilo. Ai ukusingiiye nu ku ukendepa ku mahiku ataatu.
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.
8 Ai ipumie kina u tata wang'wa Pabilo ai uambilwe nu ulwae nua kupanza. Nu paulo nai umuhangile, ai ulompile, akaika i mikono migulya akwe, nu kumuguna.
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.
9 Ze yakilaa ili kupumila, ga ni antu angiiza pang'wanso mu kisiwa nai atulaa akuawa ai alongoe nu kugunwa.
Upon this, others also in the island, who had diseases came to him and were cured:
10 Antu aka kukulya ku ikulyo lidu. Nai katula kuihamba kutunga u muhinzo, ai akinkiiye izo nai kuiloilwe.
who also honoured us with many honors, and furnished us, when we departed, with such things as were necessary.
11 Ze yakilaa myeli i taatu, ai kutungile u muhinzo mukati a meli a Iskanda naiza atulaa ikuilwe mpepo papo mu kisiwa, naiza ia lukolongo akwe ai atulaa aluna abiili mintuti.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Ze yakilaa kutula kasimaa mu kisali nika Sirakusa, ai kikie papo mahiku ataatu.
And being arrived at Syracuse, we staid there three days.
13 Kupumiila papo ai kutungile u muhinzo kikapika mu kisali nika Regio. Ze yakilaa luhiku lung'wi ng'wega nua takama kupumpugiilya ukapumila. hangi ze yakilaa mahiku abiili kikapika mu kisali nika Putoli.
From whence coasting round we came to Rhegium, and after one day a south-wind rising, we came the second day to Puteoli:
14 Kung'wanso ai kuahangile ang'wi a anyandugu hangi aka kusingiilya kikie kuko mahiku mupungati. Ku nzila iyi kikapembya ku Rumi.
where finding some brethren, we were desired to stay with them seven days: and so we went on to Rome.
15 Kupuma kuko awo i anyandugu, Ze yakilaa kutula ijaa inkani ni itu, ai apembilye ku usingiilya uko ku soko nila Apias ni dalimu itaatu. uPaulo nai wakaihenga anyandugu awo ai umulumbile Itunda aki ikilya ukamatiku.
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.
16 Nai ki kingila ku Roma, uPaulo ai ulekewe kikie wing'wene palung'wi nu asikali uyo nai watulaa ukumusunja.
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.
17 Uugwa ai yatulaa ze yakilaa mahiku a taatu uPaulo ai uitangile palung'wi i agoha awo nai atulaa a lukolongo mu kati a Ayahudi. Nai akapembya ku palung'wi, ai uligitilye kitalao, “Anyandugu, palung'wi ni kina nkili kituma utumuli wihi ku antu awa ang'wi kituma nsuta ni ntendo nia atata itu nai akutongee, nikapumigwa anga mutungwa kupuma ku Yerusalemu kupikiila mu mikono a Arumi.
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:
18 Ze yakilaa kunkolenkeelya, ai ahumilwe i nsula kundeka ilyuuku, ku nsoko ikatula kutili nsoko kitalane unene ni intakile upisiliigwa nua nsha.
who when they had examined me, would have set me at liberty, because there was no crime worthy of death found in me:
19 Kuiti awo i Ayahudi nai aligitilye nsuta a nsula ao, nikisinja kutema rufaa kung'wa Kaisaria, angaitule shanga ai yatulaa anga kina kuleta usemi migulya a anyaigu ane.
but the Jews opposing it, I was obliged to appeal to Cesar; though not as having any thing to accuse my nation of.
20 Ku nsoko a kutema kitalane u rufaa, iti gwa, ai nompile kuihenga nu kuligitya nu nyenye. Ingi ku soko a iko naiza u Israeli ukete ukamatiku ku nikanso, natungwa ni kitungo iki.
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.
21 Uu gwa akamuila, “Kukili kaya kusingiilya ibada kupuma ku Yudea ku utula u ewe, ang'wi kutili muluna nuazile nu kupumya upikiligwa ang'wi kuligitya lukani lihi nu lubi kutula u ewe.
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.
22 Kuiti kuloilwe kija kupuma kitalako usigile ntuni kutula idale ili nila antu awa, ku nsoko ikumukile kitaitu kina likuligitya nsuta kila kianza.
But we would willingly hear from thee what thou thinkest: for as to this sect, we know that it is every where spoken against.
23 Nai atulaa abague u luhiku ku nsoko akwe, antu idu ikilo ai amuhangile i kianza nai watulaa wikie. Ai uligitilye ikani ilo kitalao nu ku kuiila kutula utemi nuang'wa Itunda. Ai ugemile kuapema kutula uYesu. ku mpyani yihi ibiili kupuma mu malagiilyo ang'wa Musa nu kupuma ku anyakidagu, kandiilya kidau ndau kupikiila mpindi.
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.
24 Ang'wi ao ai apemekile kutula makani ayo nai atambuwe, itungo i auya shanga ai ahuiie.
And some regarded the things that were spoken, but others did not believe.
25 Nai aki igwe kilinga enso ku enso, ai ahegile ze yakila uPaulo kuligitya ikani ili ling'wi, “Ng'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye iza kukiila uIsaya munyakidagu ku atata itu.
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,
26 Ai uligitilye, 'Longola ku antu awa uligitye, “Ku akutwi anyu mukija, kuiti shanga mukulinga; Nu ku miho anyu mukihenga kuiti shanga mukumanya.
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,
27 Ku nsoko a nkolo nia antu awa yatuile nyeku, akutwi ao ijaa ku lwago, atutilye i miho ao; iti kina aleke kulinga ku miho ao, nu kija ku akutwi ao, nu kulinga ku nkolo niao, nu kupiluka hangi, hangi ai nzee aguna.”
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.
28 Ku lulo, mutakiwe kulinga kina uwu ugunwa nuang'wa Itunda watawee ku anyaingu, hangi akutegeelya.” (Komaniilya; ulukiili ulu,
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 “Itungo nai watula ukuligiya i makani aya, i ayahudi ai ahegile, aze atuile nu wikungumi ukulu mukati ao,” umutili mu mbugulu ni nziza nia kali).
And when he had said these things, the Jews departed, having much debate among themselves.
30 uPaulo ai wikie mi ito nilakwe nila kugula ku myaka ihi ibiili, hangi ai uasingiiye ihi nai azile kitalakwe.
And Paul abode two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came to him:
31 Ai watulaa ukutanantya u utemi nuang'wa Itunda hangi ai watulaa ukumanyisa makani migulya a Mukulu uYesu Kristo ku ukamatiku wihi. Kutili nai umugiiye.
preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom, none forbidding him.
