Katwa Nono Katwa 28
1 Na idaa nin ghirik cancam, tiyinno idin yicu usibire Umalta.
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 Anan kipine nama iwa seru nari nin nilip cas ba, ama iwa susuari ula isere nari vat, bara uwuru nin tituwui nat kubi.
And the barbarous people shewed 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 Na Bulus npitirino aca ataa ulaku, bara npuu nle, kubuni nuzu ku kantilaghe ucara.
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 Na anan kipine nyene finawa kushoe ncaran Bulus, iworo atimme, “Unit ulele fa unan molsu na nit ari na a surto na nya kuli, na ne na kidegene nsuunghe a taa ulai ba.”
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 hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 Ama a zalina finawe na nya nla na imon nseeghe ba.
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Iwa din caa iyene ukonu kidowo kikang nkifoghe nworu itene udiu me libi, ama na I dandauna na iyene imon nseghe ba, ikpilya nibinei mine iworo ame unan ncillari.
Howbeit 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 Nane ku popo kitene anen waa duku an Go lidan kuli, nin lisa Bublius. A sereari anin leo nin ghirik ayiri atat.
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 Uda soo na upiu nin nyrzunu nkifo ucifin Bublius, na Bulus ndoo kitine, ataa ghe nlira, atarda ghe acara anin shino ninghe.
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Nwufu ni le imoonne, ngisin nanit lidan kuli alenge na iwa di a cine ba daa kitime, a shino nin ghinu.
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
10 Anite tutung taa nari gongong nin likara. Kubi koo natiwa din pitiru kutura ti nyaa, inaa nari ile imon na dinin suu we.
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 Na tipui titat nkata, tipiran nzirgin myen n Iskandariya kubi tituwui lidan kuli, na ana koo nzirge waa di ibari.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Na ti tolon na nya kipin Sirakus, ti soo kikane ayiri atot.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
13 Ti nuzu kikane ti doo kipin kipin Regiyom. Na lilirum kata, ufunu kadas fita, na nya na yiri aba, ti doo nya kipin Putiyoli.
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 Kikane ti see long linuwana iyicilari ti soo nanghinu udu ayiri kuzoor. Na nya na nere tiwa dak Uroma.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
15 Unuzu kikane linuwa na ilanza ubeleng bite, daa piit ida se nari nkasaun Apiyos nin na Danga atat. Na Balus nyene linuwana, a godo Kutelle anin yira akara kibinei.
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 Kubi koo nati pira Uroma, icino Bulus se ku a soo nin litime nin ku soje na awa din yenjughe.
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 Na ayiri atat nkata Bulus yicila anit nalimine ale na iwadi anan buun na nya na Yahudawa. Na ida ligowe, aworo ani, “Nuwana, ko nane na taa imon ile na inanza atanda nan kaa bite ba, iwa nakpai nafo kucin n Urshalima nacara na nan Uroma.
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 Na itirini, usuu minere wa di iciini, bara na iwa se imon woru imolui ba.
Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Ama na Ayahudawa lirina kitene ni le imon na idinin suu weba, utaayi nfo acara kitin Kaisar, ko nane ne uwa soo fo ndin liru unanzang kitinen min nin.
But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Cæsar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
20 Bara ufo nacara ni, nwaa tirin nyene fi nnin kuru liru nin fi. Bara uyinnu n Israila ntaa inani na teri nin ninyan.”
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 Inun woro ghe, “Na tina seru mayerte nnuzu Judiya nbelen fe sa iworo nkan gbana bite na da woro sa ana belin imong imon nanzan litife ba.
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judæa concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
22 Ama ti dinin suu tilanza kitife inyanghari ukpliliu fe kiti na lele, bara na arik yiru uliru ulele di litife koweari.
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 Na ice ghe lisi lirum, anit gbardang daa kiti lisosin me A belin nani ulirue, anin kuru a belle nani ubelen kilari Kutelle. A tenizine nworu ase nibinei mine nbe len Yesu, nnuzu ndukan Musa nin una nin liru nin nuu Kutelle, ucizinu kuidinding udu kuleleng.
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 Among mine wa yinin nin nile imon na abelle nani, na among yinna ba.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Na iyinna nin natimine ba, inyaa kubi koo na Bulus se mbelle ligbulang lirum, “Uruhu Ulau wa liru gegeme na nya unan liru nin nuu Kutelle udu an kaa mine.
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,
26 Aworo, 'Can kiti nanit alele inin belin iworo, “Na nyan lanzu ima lanzu, ama na iba yinnu ba; na nyan yenju ima yenju, ama na iba yenu ba.
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
27 Kibinei na nit alele ntaa alalang. Atuf mine nlanza nin timang ghe ba, itursu iyizi mine, bara iwa yene nin niyizi mine, inin lanza nin natuf mine, inintutung yinin nin nibinei mine, inin kpilin, meng baa nin shiinu nin ghinu.”'
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 Bara nani, usoo uyinin ina tuu nin tuce nnuzu Kutelle cin di Awurmi, tuting iba dinu atuf.”
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
29 Na ilanza ile imone, Ayahuduwa nyaa, na nyan salin nyinnu na nya mine.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 Na nya nakus aba cip, Bulus soo na nya kilari me na awa kifo adin biizu, anin seru ale vat na idaa kitime.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
31 Awa din sun waazi kilari Kutelle anin dursuzo ile imon nbelen Cikilari Yesu Kristi sa fiu. Na umong wantinghe ba.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
