Itendi 28
1 Tukaisheje ulele kulitaka, gutumumanyi kuti shilambo shitimbililwe mashi shila pushashemwaga Melita.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 Bhashilambo bha kweneko gubhatutendelenje mituka ja kaje. Pabha ula jatendeganya na twashinkukola mmbepo, gubhakumbenyenje moto gubhatushemelenje tubhowe.
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 A Pauli gubhalokwete neng'ene nshigo gumo gubhakwiile pamoto. Bhai, penepo kwa ligongo lya lyoto lya moto gula gwakopweshe lijoka jwa luma nneng'ene mula akwaanyembelaga a Pauli munkono.
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 Bhashilambo bha pepala bhakabhonanjeje lijoka alikwaakwela a Pauli, gubhabhalanjilenenje, “Ipingaga aju munduju ashibhulaga mundu nkali alamile gwangali kuwa mmashi, nnungu jwetu jwankongwe ashemwa Aki akanneka alame!”
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 Ikabheje a Pauli gubhampukunyishiye pamoto lijoka jwa luma jula na wala jwangaaluma nkali kashoko.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
6 Bhandunji bhala gubhalinginji nkulolela kuti nkono gula shiguimbe eu a Pauli shibhagwe niwa popo. Bhakalolelanjeje paakabha nibhona wala shakwapi shikwakoposhela a Pauli, gubhatindigenyenje ng'aniyo yabhonji gubhashitenje kuti, jweneju nnungu.
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 Tome na pepala jashinkupagwa migunda ja bhakulungwa bha shene shilambo shatimbililwe na mashisho lina lyabho pubhashemwaga a Pabhuliashi. Gubhatushemile kunngwabho kwa ntima gwa umbwiga, gututemi ujeni mobha gatatu.
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 Ainabhabho a Pabhuliashi bhashinkusheluka na guluma, bhali bhagonile pa shinanda. A Pauli gubhapite kwalola na gubhajujile Nnungu, gubhaabhishile makono gubhaalamiye.
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 Gakatendesheje genego, bhalwelenji bhowe nnepeila pa shilambo pala gubhaaishilenje a Pauli na gubhalamiywenje.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Nabhalabhonji gubhatujogopenje kwa kaje, tukapanganisheje kujabhula, gubhapashilenje indu yaigwinji itwaipinjile.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 Jikapiteje myei jitatu gututandwibhe mwanja gwetu na meli jimo ja ku Alekishandilia jishemwa, “Ashinnungu bha Mmba.” Pujaliji kweneko miongwe jowe ja shipwepwe.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 Gutuishe shilambo sha ku Shilakusha gututemi mobha gatatu.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 Tukajabhuleje penepo gututimbilile gutuishe ku Legio. Likapiteje lyubha limo, mbungo ja kushi jikutandubhaga kupuga na gakapiteje mobha gatatu gutuishe kubhandali ja Potioli.
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 Kweneko gutwaimenenje bhakilishitu ajetunji gubhatujujilenje tutame nabhonji juma jimo. Gutuishe ku Loma shana nneyo.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 Bhakilishitu ajetunji bha ku Loma bhakapilikananjeje kuti tushiika, gubhaikengenenje kukutuposhela kumbwani ja Apio na Kunyumba Itatu ya Bhajeninji. A Pauli bhakaabhonanjeje gubhatendile eja kwa a Nnungu, gubhatagwilwe ntima.
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 Tukaisheje ku Loma a Pauli gubhaleshelelwe kutama kujika muulinda uka linjola jumo.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Gakapiteje mobha gatatu a Pauli gubhaashemilenje ashikalongolele bha Shiyaudi bha shene shilambosho. Bhakaimananjeje gubhaabhalanjilenje, “Ashapwanga, shakwa shindendile na wala tauka ikubho ya ashinakulubhetu, nashinkukamulwa ku Yelushalemu kula na kamuywa mmakono ga Bhaloma.
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 Bhakamuyanjeje nibhona kuti shakwa shinebhile, gubhapinjilenje kung'opola bhanekanje.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ikabheje Bhayaudi bhananji gubhakanilenje, gunyujile malobhe gangu gakamaliywe na bhakulungwa bha ku Loma a Kaishali, nkali ngakweteje malobhe gogowe ga kwaalugulanga bhashilambo ajangunji.
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 Bhai, kwa ligongo lya genego, njikunshemanga kunnolanje na tukungulushe, pabha njitabhwa ajino mindololo jino ligongo lya malagano ga a Nnungu ku bha Ishilaeli gala.”
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 Bhalabhonji gubhaalugulilenje, “Uwe tukanabhe poshela ntenga eu bhaluwa ja ngani jenu kopoka ku Yudea, wala jwakwa nkilishitu jojowe aishe apano kutubhalanjila lilobhe lyolyowe linnebhile mmwe.
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 Ikabheje tunapinga tupilikane shinkuganishiya mmwe, pabha uwe tumumanyi kuti mmbali yowe gwene nkumbigo unalugulwa mwangali mwambone.”
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 Bhakalagananjeje lyubha lya imana, gubhaikengenenje bhandunji bhabhagwinji nnyumba jibhatamaga. Tandubhila lyamba mpaka ligulo a Pauli gubhaatalashiyenje ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu, bhalilinga kwaatendanga bhakundanje ngani ja a Yeshu kwa talashiya shalia ja a Musha na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
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 Bhananji gubhakundilenje malobhe gala, ikabheje bhananji bhangakulupalilanga.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 Bhai, gubhajabhulengene akuno bhali bhalekenenje ng'aniyo ga malobhe ga a Pauli ga kuti, mbena Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo abhelekete mwa mmbone na ashinakulubhenunji kwa kang'wa ja ankulondola bha a Nnungu a Ishaya,
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 bhalinkuti, “‘Jenda kubhandunjibha ukaabhalanjilanje. Kupilikana shimpilkananje, ikabheje nkamumanyanga, Kulola shinnolanje, ikabheje nkaibhonanga.
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 Pabha mitima ja bhene bhandunjibha jishitopa, bhashiibhanga makutu gabhonji meyo gabhonji bhashikupilanga. Gwangali nneyo, bhakalolilenje na meyo gabhonji, bhakapilikenenje na makutu gabhonji. Bhakaelewenje mmitima jabhonji, bhakaandendebhushilenje, bhashite Bhakulungwa, ngaalamiyenje.’”
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 Kungai a Pauli gubhashite, “Bhai, mmumanyanje kuti ntenga gwa a Nnungu gwa ngani ja ntapulo upelekwe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina. Bhalabhonji shibhapilikanilanje!”
"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
29 Bhakabheleketeje genego, Bhayaudi gubhajabhulenje, bhalipita taukangana ashaayenenji.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 A Pauli gubhatemi ku Loma yaka ibhili nnyumba jibhapoleshe bhayene kwalipila mbiya, bhatendaga kwaposhelelanga bhowe bhaowelangaga.
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 Bhatenda lunguya ga Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu na jiganya ngani ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu gwangali bhoga na jwakwa mundu abhalimbiyaga.
proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
