Imisebenzi 28
1 Sathi sesiphephile safika emhlabathini, sezwa ukuthi isihlenge leso sasithiwa yiMalitha.
Esi míekpɔ ɖeɖe megbe la, míeva nya be ƒukpo si woyɔna be Mɔlta la dzie míeva ɖo.
2 Abantu bakhona basiphatha ngomusa ongajayelekanga. Basemukela kuhle sonke, basibasela umlilo wekhanka ngoba izulu lalisina njalo kumakhaza.
Ƒukpoa dzi tɔwo xɔ mí nyuie ŋutɔ. Esi tsi nɔ dzadzam eye vuvɔ nɔ wɔwɔm ta la, wodo dzo gã aɖe na mí be míaƒu.
3 UPhawuli watheza umnyaba wenkuni, wathi ebasela kwaphuma inhlangwana isixotshwa ngumlilo yahle yamthandela esandleni.
Esi Paulo fɔ nake wuwlui aɖewo be yeade dzoa me ko la, da vɔ̃ɖi aɖe do tso nake la me, le dzoxɔxɔ la ta, eye wòbla ɖe Paulo ƒe alɔnu.
4 Abahlali besihlengeni bathi bebona inyoka ilenga esandleni sakhe bakhulumisana besithi, “Indoda le iyisigebenga; ngoba loba isindile olwandle, unkulunkulukazi uKulunga kayivumelanga ukuthi iphile.”
Nu sia wɔ nuku, eye wòdo vɔvɔ̃ na ame siwo nɔ afi ma ŋutɔ, ale wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Ame sia la, hlɔ̃dola vɔ̃ɖi aɖee wònye; togbɔ be metsi ƒu me ku o hã la, Mawu ƒe hlɔ̃biabia melɔ̃ be wòatsi agbe o.”
5 Kodwa uPhawuli wayithintitha inyoka wayilabhulela emlilweni yena akaze alimala lakancane.
Ke Paulo ʋuʋu da la le alɔnu ɖe dzo bibi la me, eye naneke mewɔe o.
6 Abantu babelinde okwesikhathi eside bengaboni lutho olubi lusenzakala kuye, baguqula imicabango yabo basebesithi ungunkulunkulu.
Ameawo nɔ mɔ kpɔm be Paulo ƒe abɔ ate, eye wòadze anyi aku, ke esi wolala ʋuu nya aɖeke medzɔ ɖe edzi o la, wotrɔ woƒe susuwo hegblɔ be Paulo la, Mawu aɖe koko wòanye.
7 Eduze kwalapho kwakulepulazi likaPhabhiliyasi, owayeyisikhulu esiphethe isihlenge. Wasemukela ngesihle emzini wakhe, wasihlalisa khona okwensuku ezintathu esiphethe kuhle.
Ƒukpo sia ƒe Mɔmefia ŋkɔe nye Publio, ame sia ƒe anyigba kple aƒe te ɖe ƒuta, afi si míeva ɖi go ɖo. Publio xɔ mí ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe aƒe me, hekpɔ mía dzi nyuie ŋkeke etɔ̃ sɔŋ.
8 Uyise wayegula elele phansi ephethwe luqhuqho lesihudo. UPhawuli wayambona, kwathi esekhulekile, wambeka izandla wamsilisa.
Publio fofo ƒe lãme menɔ kɔkɔm tututu o, elabena asrã kple kpetadɔ nɔ fu ɖem nɛ. Paulo yi egbɔ, do gbe ɖa, heda asi ɖe edzi ale be eƒe lãme sẽ.
9 Kwathi sekwenzakele lokhu, bonke abagulayo esihlengeni beza basiliswa.
Enumake dɔnɔ siwo katã nɔ teƒea la va Paulo gbɔ, eye wòda gbe le wo katã ŋu.
10 Basidumisa ngezipho ezinengi, kwasekusithi sesilungela ukuwela basilungisela umphako owaneleyo.
Dzi dzɔ ƒukpoa dzi tɔwo ŋutɔ ale wotsɔ nunana ƒomevi geɖewo vɛ na mí, eye esi ɣeyiɣi de na mí be míadzo la, wodo agba na míaƒe tɔdziʋu la nyuie ŋutɔ kple nu siwo katã ava hiã mí le míaƒe mɔzɔzɔ la me.
11 Ngemva kwezinyanga ezintathu sangena olwandle sigade umkhumbi owawuchithe ubusika khona lapho. Wawungumkhumbi wase-Alekizandriya owawulophawu lwamakhanda amaphahla abonkulunkulu uKhasto loPholukhi.
Míenɔ Mɔlta ƒukpo la dzi ɣleti etɔ̃ hafi gadze mɔ. Míeɖo tɔdziʋu aɖe si woyɔna be Venɔviwo si tso Aleksandria, eye wòva tsi ƒukpoa dzi le vuvɔŋɔli la me.
12 Sakhuphukela eSirakhusi sahlala khona okwensuku ezintathu.
Teƒe gbãtɔ si míetɔ ɖo lae nye Sirakusa, eye míenɔ afi ma ŋkeke etɔ̃.
13 Sesisuka lapho sawela sayafika eRegiyumi. Ngakusasa kwaphephetha umoya weningizimu, kwathi ngelanga elilandelayo sayafika ePhuthewoli.
Tso Sirakusa la, míeƒo xlã nu heyi Regio, eye tso afi ma la, ya aɖe ƒo ɖe mí tso anyigbeme gome, ale be le ŋkeke evea gbe la, míeva ɖo Puteoli, afi si míedo go xɔsetɔ aɖewo le.
14 Lapho safumana abazalwane abasicela ukuthi sihlale khona okweviki silabo. Sasesifika eRoma.
Xɔsetɔ siawo di tso mía si vevie be míanɔ yewo gbɔ vie, ale míelɔ̃, nɔ wo gbɔ ŋkeke adre. Tso Puteoli la, míeɖo ta Roma.
15 Abazalwane balapho basebezwile ukuthi siyeza, ngakho bahamba baze bayafika eNkundleni yase-Aphiya laseziNkantini eziNtathu besihlangabeza. Wathi ebabona lababantu uPhawuli wabonga uNkulunkulu njalo waqiniswa.
Esi xɔsetɔ siwo le Roma la se be míegbɔna la, wo dometɔ aɖewo va kpe mí le keke teƒe si woyɔna be Apioforo, eye wòdidi tso Roma gbɔ abe agbadroƒe blaenyi sɔŋ ene. Ame bubuwo hã va kpe mí le afi si woyɔna be, “Amedzrodzeƒe etɔ̃awo.” Teƒe sia hã didi tso Roma gbɔ abe agbadroƒe blaadre ene. Esi Paulo kpɔ xɔsetɔ siawo la, dzi dzɔe ŋutɔ; dzi ɖo eƒo, eye wòda akpe na Mawu.
16 Sithe sesifikile eRoma, uPhawuli wavunyelwa ukuhlala yedwa, elindwe ngelilodwa ibutho.
Esi míeva ɖo Roma la, asrafowo ƒe amegã si ƒe kpɔkplɔ te Paulo nɔ la ɖe mɔ na Paulo be ate ŋu adze afi sia afi si eya ŋutɔ lɔ̃. Ke woɖe asrafo aɖe kpe ɖe eŋu be wòadzɔ eŋu ɣe sia ɣi.
17 Ngemva kwensuku ezintathu uPhawuli wabiza abakhokheli bamaJuda. Bathi sebehlangene wathi kubo, “Bazalwane bami, loba ngingenzanga lutho olubi ebantwini bakithi kumbe olwephula imikhuba yabokhokho bethu, ngabotshwa eJerusalema nganikelwa kwabaseRoma.
Le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, Paulo yɔ Yudatɔ siwo le Roma dua me la ƒo ƒu, eye wòƒo nu na wo gblɔ be, “Nɔvinyewo, edzɔ dzi nam be meva ɖo mia gbɔ afi sia. Medi be mianya be togbɔ be nyemewɔ naneke o, eye nyemeda le kɔnyinyi aɖeke dzi o hã la, Yudatɔ siwo le Yerusalem la lém, eye wotsɔm de asi na Roma dziɖuɖua ƒe ame dɔdɔ siwo le Yerusalem, be woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnum.
18 Wona esengihlolile afisa ukungikhulula ngoba ngangingelacala loba elakuphi ukuganga okwakungafanela ukufa.
Esi míeyi ʋɔnua la, Roma dziɖuɖua ƒe ame dɔdɔwo mekpɔ vodada aɖeke le ŋunye o, eya ta wodi be yewoaɖe asi le ŋunye, elabena wokpɔ be nyemedze na ku abe ale si Yudatɔwo ƒe amegãwo dii ene o.
19 Kodwa kwathi ngoba amaJuda ekwala lokho ngabona sekufanele ukuthi ngikhalaze kuKhesari; kungayisikho ukuthi ngasengimangalela abantu bakithi.
Ke esi mekpɔ be Yudatɔwo mekpɔ dzidzɔ le ale si wodrɔ̃ ʋɔnua ŋu o, eye wotsi tsitsre ɖe nyametsotsoa ŋu vevie ta la, nye hã megblɔ na ʋɔnua be metsɔ nye nya de asi na Kaisaro le Roma be wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnum.
20 Ngalesisizatho ngicelile ukuthi ngilibone, ngikhulume lani. Kungenxa yethemba lika-Israyeli okwenza ngibotshwe ngale iketane.”
Nya sia tae meyɔ mi vɛ, be makpɔ mi, eye maƒo nu kpli mi ɖo; elabena Israel ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ la ta woblam kple kɔsɔkɔsɔ sia ɖo.”
21 Baphendula bathi, “Kasitholanga zincwadi ezivela eJudiya mayelana lawe, njalo kakho umzalwane ovela khonale oke wabika kumbe wakhuluma ulutho olubi ngawe.
Ameawo ɖo eŋu na Paulo be, “Míawo la, ame aɖeke megagblɔ wò nya aɖeke na mí kpɔ loo alo ŋlɔ agbalẽ ɖo ɖe mí tso Yudea le ŋuwò kpɔ o. Nɔvi Kristotɔ siwo tso Yerusalem va hã dometɔ aɖeke megblɔ nya aɖeke na mí tso ŋuwò kpɔ o.
22 Kodwa sifuna ukuzwa imibono yakho, ngoba siyakwazi ukuthi ezindaweni zonke abantu bakhuluma kubi ngaloluhlelo lwenkolo.”
Ke míadi be nàɖe wò xɔse la me na mí nyuie, elabena nu si míenya koe nye be, ame aɖeke media Kristotɔwo ƒe nya le teƒe aɖeke o.”
23 Balungiselela ukuhlangana loPhawuli ngelanga elithile elalibekiwe, njalo kweza abantu abanengi endaweni ayehlala kuyo. Kusukela ekuseni kwaze kwaba ntambama echaza umbuso kaNkulunkulu njalo efakaza ngokuseMthethweni kaMosi lakubaPhrofethi. Wazama njalo ukubazisa ngoJesu
Ale woɖo ŋkeke bubu na takpekpe, eye esi ŋkekea ɖo la, ame geɖewo va ƒo ƒu ɖe Paulo ƒe aƒe me. Paulo ɖe mawunya me na wo tsitotsito, le mawufiaɖuƒe la kple Yesu Kristo ŋu, tso Mose ƒe se la kple nyagblɔɖiawo me. Wonɔ takpekpea me tso ŋdi va se ɖe fiẽ ke.
24 Abanye basuthiseka ngalokhu ayekutsho, kodwa abanye kabazange bakholwe.
Paulo ƒe nyawo sɔ to me na ame aɖewo, eye wotrɔ zu Kristotɔwo; ke ame aɖewo mexɔe se o.
25 Baphikisana bona bodwa basebesuka ngemva kokuba uPhawuli esephethe inkulumo yakhe ngokuthi, “Nxa uMoya oNgcwele wakhuluma iqiniso kubokhokho benu aze ukhulume ngomphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi:
Wodzro nyawo me le wo ɖokuiwo me ʋuu hafi kaka dzo. Ke nya si tsi to me na wo, eye wòɖe fu na wo dometɔ geɖewo lae nye esi Paulo gblɔ na wo be, “Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe nya si wògblɔ to Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya dzi la le eme tututu be,
26 ‘Hamba kulababantu uyekuthi, “Lizahlala lisizwa kokuphela, kodwa lingaqedisisi; lizahlala libona kokuphela kodwa lingabonisisi.”
“‘Yi dukɔ sia gbɔ, eye nàgblɔ be, “Miaƒe towo ase nyawo, gake miase wo gɔme o. Miaƒe ŋkuwo akpɔ nu, gake miele si dze gee o.”
27 Ngoba inhliziyo yalababantu isibuthundu; kabasezwa ngezindlebe zabo, njalo sebevale amehlo abo; ngoba bangaqabuka bebona ngamehlo abo, bezwe ngezindlebe zabo, baqedisise ngezinhliziyo zabo, baphenduke, lami ngibasilise.’
Elabena miaƒe dziwo ku atri, miaƒe towo sẽ, eye miesea nu o, eye miemiã miaƒe ŋkuwo. Ne menye nenema o la, miakpɔ nu, kple miaƒe ŋkuwo, ase nu kple miaƒe towo, ase nu gɔme kple miaƒe dziwo, eye miatrɔ ɖe ŋunye, eye mada dɔ na mi.’
28 Ngakho ngithanda ukuthi lazi ukuba insindiso kaNkulunkulu isithunyelwe kwabeZizwe, njalo bona bazalalela!” [
“Eya ta medi be mianya be Mawu ƒe ɖeɖedɔ sia ɖo ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o gbɔ, eye woaɖo toe.” [
29 Ngemva kwalokhu, amaJuda asuka, ephikisana wodwa kakhulu.]
Esi wògblɔ esia la Yudatɔwo dzo, eye nyahehe geɖe ɖo wo dome.]
30 UPhawuli wahlala khona okweminyaka emibili egcweleyo, ehlala endlini yakhe ayeloje kuyo, njalo esemukela ngesihle bonke ababesiza bezombona.
Ke Paulo nɔ afi ma ƒe eve sɔŋ le xɔ si ta wòxe fe ɖo la me, eye ame geɖewo va nɔ ekpɔm ɖa le eƒe aƒe me.
31 Watshumayela ngombuso kaNkulunkulu, wafundisa ngeNkosi uJesu Khristu ngesibindi njalo engaphazanyiswa muntu.
Enɔ gbeƒã ɖem mawufiaɖuƒe la, nɔ nu fiam le Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo ŋuti dzideƒotɔe, eye ame aɖeke mexea mɔ nɛ le esiawo katã wɔwɔ me o.
