Aposolo 28
1 Knare huta mopare'ma unehanatita konana Maltae nehaza ti amu'nompi mopa ke'none.
After we [(exc)] had arrived safely [on the shore], we learned that it was an island called Malta.
2 Anampima nemaniza vahe'mo'za knare so'e zamavu'zamava hu'za tavarente'naze. Tusi'a teve hegare'za tazeri so'e hu'naze na'ankure, tusi ko'aruno zasi hige'za ana hu'naze.
The people who lived there received us kindly. They lit a fire and invited us to come and warm ourselves, because it was raining and it was cold.
3 Poli'ma teve zogino erino eme tevefima negregeno, tevemo'a amuho higeno ana tevefinti mago ha' osifa'vemo hanatino Poli azante haninkofigeno, arisonamo'a kizu'vazu hu'ne.
Paul gathered some sticks and put them on the fire. But [among those sticks was] a snake that had come out [from the fire to escape] from the heat, and it fastened itself on Paul’s hand.
4 Kuma agafa vahe'mo'za kazageno osifa'vemo Poli azante haninkofi nege'za, zamagra'a anage hugantugma hu'za, ama'na nera vahe zamahe nefria nepigure, hankino hagerimpi frigara knare huno freno e'neanagi, tagri'ma refko'ma nehia a' anumzamo refako husiana atre'sigeno Poli'a omanigahie.
[The islanders knew that the snake was poisonous, so] when they saw it hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to each other, “Probably this man has murdered someone. Although he has escaped from being drowned, [the god] ([who] pays [people back/who punishes people]) for their [MTY] sins will cause him to die.”
5 Hianagi Poli'a ana ha' osifavea tevefi rutafri atregeno ata hoza omi'ne.
But Paul simply shook the snake off into the fire, and nothing happened to him.
6 Zamagra'ma antahi'zana, avufamo'a zorege mopafi traka huno frigahie hu'za nentahi'za, za'za kna kete'za mani'zana, mago'zana agritera fore osige'za, antahizazmia rukarehe hu'za ama'na nera anumzampigure hu'za hu'naze.
The people were expecting that Paul’s body would soon swell up or that he would suddenly fall down and die. But after they had waited a long time, they saw [that the snake] had not harmed him [at all]. So then the people changed their minds and said [to one another], “This man is not a murderer! Probably he is a god!”
7 Ana kumate'ma me'nea mopagerfa, ana ti amu'nompi mopare ugagota hu'nea ne' Pabliasi'e nehaza ne'mofona, agupo mopa'a me'nea ne'mo, muse nehuno tavareno noma'are vuno, 3'a kna'mofo agu'afina tazeri so'e hurante'ne.
Near where the people had made the fire, there were some fields that belonged to a man whose name was Publius. He was the chief official on the island. He invited us to [come and stay in] his home. He took care of us for three days.
8 Anama hifina Pabliusi nefana amuho ave'nesino korarifa renagigeno vase'nege'za ome ke'naze. Poli'a omegeno nunamu hunteteno, avufare azana agofetu antegeno, kri'a amane hunte'ne.
[At that time] Publius’ father had a fever and dysentery, and he was lying [in bed]. So Paul visited him and prayed [for him. Then] Paul placed his hands on him and healed him.
9 Anazama fore hige'za, maka ana ti amu'nompi mopare'ma nemaniza kri vahera anahu'za ageno kri'zamia eri amane huzmante'ne.
After Paul had done that, the other people on the island who were sick came [to him] and [he] healed them, too.
10 Hagi zamagranena, tagrira husga hunerante'za, vunaku'ma trotra nehunke'za, ina zanku'ma atupa'ma hu'nazana ventefi eri'za ome tami'naze.
They brought us gifts and [showed in other ways that] they greatly respected us. When we were [ready] to leave [three months later], they brought us food and other things that we would need [for the trip].
11 Hagi 3'a ika maniteta, ana ti amunompi kumate'ma zaho ko'ma atigeno ko'ma emani'nea Aleksandria ventefi vu'none. Ana ventemofo avuga kugaveza anumzane huno tare kogna tremokizni znamema'a me'ne.
After [we had stayed there] three months, we [got on] a ship [that was going to Italy and] sailed away. The ship had been in [a harbor on] the island during the months when there are many storms. It had come from Alexandria [city]. On the front of the ship there were carved images of the twin gods [whose names were Castor and Pollux].
12 Vuta 3'a kna (3 dei) Sirakuse kumate ome azerita mani'none.
We [sailed from the island and] arrived at Syracuse [city on Sicily island] and stayed there three days.
13 Anantetira rugagita Regiumu uhanati'none. Masonkeno ko'atigeno zage fretegati zaho egeta anagame'a mago knarera Puteoli uhanatuna zamota,
Then we traveled on by ship and arrived at Rhegium [port in Italy]. The next day, the wind was blowing from behind us, [so we sailed along fast]. The day after that, we reached Puteoli [town, where we left the ship].
14 anampi mago'a tafuhe'ina ome zamageta erifore hunke'za, ke hazageta zamagranena mago sonta umani'none. Ananteti Romu e'none.
In Puteoli we met some believers who invited us to stay with them for a week. [After visiting them], we [left there and started to travel by land] to Rome.
15 Hago tagriku'ma emani'naze kema Romu mani'naza tafuhe'za nentahi'za vahe'ma e'nazana, Apiusi kante maketi kumapinti neageno, 3'a no mizase'za nemasaza nonteti tagri'ma tavataginakura e'naze. Poli'ma nezmageno'a hanave e'nerino, Anumzamofo muse hunte'ne.
[A group of] believers [who lived in Rome] had heard that we [(exc) were coming]. So they came out [from Rome] to meet us. [Some of] them met us at [the town called] ‘The Market on Appian [Road’, ] and others met us at [the town called] ‘The Three Inns’. When Paul saw those believers, he thanked God and was encouraged.
16 Romuma ufronke'za, kagra kavesi'zante kvama hugante'nia sondia ne'ene manio hu'za Polinkura hunte'naze.
After we [(exc)] arrived in Rome, Paul was permitted {[a Roman official who was responsible for guarding Paul] permitted Paul} to live [in a house] by himself. But [there was always] a soldier there to guard him.
17 Hagi 3'a gna'mofo amefi'a, Poli'a kehige'za Juda kva vahera emeritru hazageno, Juda kva vaheku anage hu'ne, Nafuheta nagra mago havizana vahetia huozmante'na tafahe'i zamu'zmara eri haviza osu'noanagi, nagrira kina vahekna hu'za Jerusalemitira navare'za Romu vahe zamazampi eme natre'naze.
After [Paul had been there] three days, he sent a message to the Jewish leaders [to come and talk with him. So] they came, and Paul said to them, “My fellow Jews, although I have not opposed our people nor spoken against the customs of our ancestors, [our leaders] in Jerusalem [seized] [MTY] [me. But before they could kill me, a Roman commander rescued me and later sent me] to Caesarea for Roman [authorities/officials to put me on trial].
18 Romu vahe'mo'za nagrira refko hu'za nagete'za, katufe natrenaku hu'naze. Na'ankure nahe friku'ma hunantazana, kegafa'a nagripina omanetfa hu'ne.
The Roman authorities/officials questioned me and wanted to release me, because I had not done any [bad] thing for which I should be executed {they should kill me}.
19 Hianagi Juda vahe'mo'za ana kerera ke ha' renantage'na, rankva Sisa kenakure hu'noe. Hu'neanagi nagrama antahuana mago keaga nagra'ni'a vahera huozmantegahue hu'noe.
But when the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] there opposed [what the Roman authorities wanted to do], I had to formally request that the Emperor [judge me here in Rome]. But my reason for doing that was not that I wanted to accuse our leaders about anything.
20 E'ina hu'negu nagra neramage'na tamagra ne keaga huku nehue. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'za zamentinti hu'za, zamage'sama nentahiza zante ana agafare nagrira ama'na kina nofira renante'naze.
So I have requested you [to come] here so that I can tell you why I am a prisoner. It is because I believe in [MTY] our Messiah, the one [God long ago promised to send] to us [(inc)] Jews.”
21 Hige'za anage hu'za asami'naze, Judia kazigatira kagri nanekea avona kre'za atrageta e'ori'none. Hanki tafuhe'za anantegatira e'za naneke'a eme antege, kagri havi kavukva zamofo nanekea ontasmitfa hu'naze.
Then [the Jewish leaders] said, “We [(exc)] have not received any letters from [our fellow Jews] in Judea about you. Also, none of our fellow Jews who have arrived [here from Judea] has said anything bad about you.
22 Hianagi menina kagripinti kema antahinaku nehune, na'ankure mika kotegati vahe'mo'za antahu'nana ama ana kevugura (sekt) huhaviza huneramantaze.
But we [(exc)] want to hear what you [(sg)] think about this [Christian] sect/group, because we know that in many places [HYP] bad things are being said {people are saying bad things} about it.”
23 Agranema atru hu'za keaga husnaza knama erinte fatgoma hutage'za, rama'a vahe'mo'za nemasefinka e'za eme negageno, ana zupa Mosese kasegefinti'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zama krente'naza kefinti erino Anumzamofo mona kuma avu'ava zana huama huno nezmasmino, ama ana Jisasi avu'ava zante'ma zamentinti hanagu nanterana agafa huno nezmasmigeno kinaga ome ase'ne.
So they [talked with Paul and decided that they would come back on another day to hear him. When that day arrived], those Jews came back to the place where Paul was staying, and they brought more Jews with them. Paul talked to them from morning until evening. He talked to them about how God wants to rule [people’s lives] [MET]. He tried to convince them that Jesus [is the Messiah] by reminding them what Moses and the other prophets had written [MTY].
24 Poli'ma kema hia kemo'a mago'amokizmia antahintahi zmia zamare agrarega zamante'ne, mago'amo'za antahi'za zamentinti huzankura zamesra hu'naze.
Some of those Jews believed that what was said [by Paul] {what [Paul] said} about Jesus [was true], but others did not believe [that it was true].
25 Zamagra zamagra hugantigma hu'za mago zamarimpa nosu'za, atre'za nevazageno, Poli'a vagare keaga huno, Ruotge Avamu'mo tamagehe'ima keaga huzami'neana, kasnampa ne' Aisaiampi huvazino hufatgo hu'ne.
So they began to argue with one another. [Paul realized that some of them did not want to listen to him, so] when they were about to leave, he said, “The Holy Spirit said something to your/our(incl) ancestors. He spoke these words to Isaiah the prophet, [and what he said is also true about you]:
26 Ana vahete vunka anage huo, Tamage hutma kea antahigahazanagi, amara osu'tfaza hugahaze, tamagerafa hutma kegahazanagi, keanke oregahaze.
Go to your fellow Israelites and tell them, ‘You repeatedly listen [to the message of God], but you never understand [what God is saying]. You repeatedly look at and see [the things that God is doing], but you never understand [what they mean].
27 Na'ankure ama ana vahe'mokizmi zamagu'amo'a amara huno hagro osu'nege'za kema antahi'zana, zamagesamo'a antahiso'e nosie, hagi zamavurga asuki'nege'za zamavua nonke'za zamagesaretira nontahi'za, zamagu'amo'a amara osanige'za, rukrahe hu'za omesage'na zamazeri onkanamregahue hu'ne. (Ais 6:9-10.)
God also said to the prophet, These people do not understand, because they have become stubborn. They have ears, but they do not understand what they hear, and they have closed their eyes [because they do not want to see]. If they wanted to obey what I say to them, they might understand what they see [me doing] and what they hear [me saying]. Then they might turn from their sinful behavior and I would save them.’
28 E'ina hu'negu tamagra antahi ankeresazana, Anumzamo tahokehe'zana megi'a vahete atregeno e'ne hu'za zamagra antahigahaze.
[That is what God said to the prophet Isaiah about our ancestors. But you Jews today do not want to believe God’s message]. Therefore, I am telling you that [God] has sent to the non-Jews this message about how he saves people, and they will listen [and accept it]!”
30 Poli'a, agra'ama ikante mizaseno ne'mania nompina, tare zagegafufi anampina mani'nege'za, agri'ma kekure hu'za amokizmia so'e huzmante'ne.
For two whole years Paul stayed [there] in a house that he rented. Many people came to see him, and he received them all gladly [and talked with them].
31 Korera osuno Anumzamofo mona kumamofo avu'ava zana hu'ama nehuno, Ramofo Jisasi avu'ava zamofo nanekea rempi hunezamigeno mago'mo'a aze'orino i'o huonte'ne.
He preached [and taught people] about how God could rule [their lives] [MET] and taught them about the Lord Jesus Christ. He did that without being afraid, and no one tried to stop him.
