< Acts 28 >
1 Nígbà tí gbogbo wa sì yọ tan ni àwa tó mọ̀ pé, Mẹlita ni a ń pè erékùṣù náà.
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Kì í ṣe oore díẹ̀ ni àwọn aláìgbédè náà ṣe fún wa. Nítorí ti wọ́n dáná, wọ́n sì gbà gbogbo wa sí ọ̀dọ̀ nítorí òjò ń rọ nígbà náà, àti nítorí òtútù.
And the natives people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 Nígbà tí Paulu sì ṣa ìdí ìṣẹ́pẹ́ igi jọ, ti ó sì kó o sínú iná, paramọ́lẹ̀ kan ti inú oru-iná jáde, ó di mọ́ ọn ní ọwọ́.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 Bí àwọn aláìgbédè náà sì ti rí ẹranko olóró náà tí ó dì mọ́ ọn lọ́wọ́, wọ́n bá ara wọn sọ pé, “Dájúdájú apànìyàn ni ọkùnrin yìí, ẹni ti ó yọ nínú Òkun tan, ṣùgbọ́n tí ẹ̀san kò sì jẹ́ kí ó wà láààyè.”
And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffers not to live.
5 Òun sì gbọn ẹranko náà sínú iná ohunkóhun kan kò sì ṣe é.
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn ń wòye ìgbà tí yóò wù, tàbí tí yóò sì ṣubú lulẹ̀ láti kú lójijì; nígbà tí wọ́n wò títí, tí wọn kò sì rí nǹkan kan kí ó ṣe é, wọ́n pa èrò wọn dà pé, òrìṣà kan ni ọkùnrin yìí.
Nevertheless they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 Ní agbègbè ibẹ̀ ni ilé ọkùnrin ọlọ́lá erékùṣù náà wà, orúkọ ẹni tí a ń pè ní Pubiliu; ẹni tí ó ti ipa inú rere gbà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 Ó sì ṣe, baba Pubiliu dùbúlẹ̀ àìsàn ibà àti ìgbẹ́-ọ̀rìn; ẹni tí Paulu wọlé tọ̀ lọ, tí ó sì gbàdúrà fún, nígbà tí ó sì fi ọwọ́ lé e, ó sì mú un láradá.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a dysentery: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Nígbà tí èyí sì ṣetán, àwọn ìyókù tí ó ni ààrùn ni erékùṣù náà tọ̀ ọ́ wá, ó sì mú wọn láradá.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Wọ́n sì bu ọlá púpọ̀ fún wa; nígbà tí a ń lọ, wọ́n sì fún wa ní ohun púpọ̀ tí a nílò ní ọ̀nà àjò wa.
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 Lẹ́yìn oṣù mẹ́ta, a wọ ọkọ̀ ojú omi kan èyí tí ó lo àkókò òtútù ní erékùṣù náà. Ó jẹ́ ọkọ̀ ojú omi ti Alekisandiria, èyí tí àmì rẹ̀ jẹ́ tí òrìṣà ìbejì ti Kasitoru òun Polukisu.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Nígbà tí a sì gúnlẹ̀ ní Sirakusi, a gbé ibẹ̀ fún ọjọ́ mẹ́ta.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 Láti ibẹ̀ nígbà tí a lọ yíká; a dé Regiomu: nígbà tí ó sì di ọjọ́ kejì, afẹ́fẹ́ gúúsù bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní fẹ́, ní ọjọ́ kejì rẹ̀ a sì dé Puteoli.
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 A sì rí àwọn arákùnrin kan níbẹ̀, tí wọ́n sì bẹ̀ wá láti bá wọn gbé fún ọjọ́ méje: bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì lọ sí ìhà Romu.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 Àwọn arákùnrin ibẹ̀ gbúròó pé a ń bọ̀, wọ́n sì rìnrìn àjò títí wọ́n fi dé Apii Foroni àti sí ilé èrò mẹ́ta láti pàdé wa: nígbà tí Paulu sì rí wọn, ó dúpẹ́ lọ́wọ́ Ọlọ́run, ó sì mú ọkàn le.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
16 Nígbà tí a sì dé Romu, olórí àwọn ọmọ-ogun fi àwọn òǹdè lé olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ́wọ́, ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n gba Paulu láààyè láti máa dágbé fún ara rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọmọ-ogun tí ó ń ṣọ́ ọ.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
17 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mẹ́ta, Paulu pe àwọn olórí Júù jọ. Nígbà tí wọ́n sì péjọ, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ̀yin ara, bí ó ti ṣe pé èmi kò ṣe ohun kan lòdì sí àwọn ènìyàn, tàbí sí àṣà àwọn baba wa, síbẹ̀ wọ́n fi mí lé àwọn ara Romu lọ́wọ́ ní òǹdè láti Jerusalẹmu wá.
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì wádìí ọ̀ràn mi, wọ́n fẹ́ jọ̀wọ́ mi lọ́wọ́ lọ, nítorí tí wọn kò rí ẹ̀sùn kan tí ó tọ́ sí ikú pẹ̀lú mi.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Júù sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí i, èyí sún mí láti fi ọ̀ràn náà lọ Kesari, kì í ṣe pe mo ní ẹ̀sùn kan láti fi kan àwọn ènìyàn mi.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí ni mo ṣe ránṣẹ́ pè yín, láti rí yín àti láti bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ nítorí pé, nítorí ìrètí Israẹli ni a ṣe fi ẹ̀wọ̀n yìí dè mí.”
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
21 Wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, “Àwa kò rí ìwé gbà láti Judea nítorí rẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan nínú àwọn arákùnrin tí ó ti ibẹ̀ wá kò ròyìn, tàbí kí ó sọ̀rọ̀ ibi kan sí ọ.
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning you, neither any of the brethren that came showed or spoke any harm of you.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n àwa ń fẹ́ gbọ́ lẹ́nu rẹ ohun tí ìwọ rò nítorí bí ó ṣe ti ẹgbẹ́ ìlànà yìí ní, àwa mọ̀ pé, níbi gbogbo ni a ń sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí i.”
But we desire to hear of you what you think: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 Àwọn fi ẹnu kò lórí ọjọ́ tí wọn yóò ṣe ìpàdé pẹ̀lú Paulu, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ wọn ni ó tọ̀ ọ́ wa ni ilé àgbàwọ̀ rẹ̀; àwọn ẹni tí òun sọ àsọyé ọ̀rọ̀ ìjọba Ọlọ́run fún, ó ń yí wọn padà nípa ti Jesu láti inú òfin Mose àti àwọn wòlíì, láti òwúrọ̀ títí ó fi di àṣálẹ́.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Àwọn ẹlòmíràn gba ohun tí ó wí gbọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ẹlòmíràn kò sì gbà á gbọ́.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Nígbà tí ohùn wọn kò ṣọ̀kan láàrín ara wọn, wọ́n túká, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Paulu sọ̀rọ̀ kan pé, “Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ sọ òtítọ́ fún àwọn baba yín nígbà tí ó sọ láti ẹnu wòlíì Isaiah wí pé:
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, (rhema) Well spoke the Holy Spirit (pneuma) by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 “‘Tọ àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí lọ, kí ó sì wí pé, “Ní gbígbọ́ ẹ̀yin yóò gbọ́, kì yóò sì yé e yín; à ti ní rí rí ẹ̀yin yóò rí, ẹ̀yin kì yóò sí wòye.”
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing all of you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing all of you shall see, and not perceive:
27 Nítorí ti àyà àwọn ènìyàn yìí yigbì, etí wọn sì wúwo láti fi gbọ́, ojú wọn ni wọn sì ti di. Nítorí kí wọn má ba à fi ojú wọn rí, kí wọn kí ó má ba à fi etí wọn gbọ́, àti kí wọn má ba à fi ọkàn wọn mọ̀, kí wọn kí ó má ba à yípadà, àti kí èmi má ba à mú wọn láradá.’
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; 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 “Ǹjẹ́ kí ẹ̀yin mọ́ èyí pé, a rán ìgbàlà Ọlọ́run sí àwọn kèfèrí wọ́n ó sì gbọ́!”
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 Paulu sì gbé ilé àgbàwọ̀ rẹ̀ lọ́dún méjì gbáko, ó sì ń gbà gbogbo àwọn tí ó wọlé tọ̀ ọ́ wá.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Ó ń wàásù ìjọba Ọlọ́run, ó ń fi ìgboyà kọ́ni ní àwọn ohun tí i ṣe ti Jesu Kristi Olúwa, ẹnìkan kò si dá a lẹ́kun.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
