Acts 28

1 When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.

Tin den pundi li jaali leni laafia, ti den bandi ke bi yi li kpendegili yeni Malita.

2 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.

Likani yaaba, den hanbi tipo ke li kandi. Ki taaga den mii, ti wadi mo den ye boncianla, ke bi cuoni tipo mi fantama, ki yini tikuli ke ti nagini ki yie.

3 But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened on his hand.

Polo den wodi ti dabidi ki baa tieni mi fantama nni. Ku fantanwuligu den tuogi li waalabili ke li ñani ti daadi nni ki joani Polo nuu.

4 When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live.”

Laa dogu yaaba n den la ke li juani Polo nuu yeni, bi den yedi biyaba: Moamoani o naa joa baa tie nikpale. Baa ke o ciadi mi ñincianma nni, U Tienu teginma naa cedi o wan yaa ye.

5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.

Ama Polo den cia o nuu ke o wa baa mi fantama nni ke liba kuli ki tieni Polo.

6 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.

Yaaba n ye likani den gu ki tama ke o nuu baa moali, yaaka ke o baa baa ki kpe lanyogunu. Ama ban den guudi ki sua ke liba kuli ki tieni o, bi den lebidi bi yantiali ki yedi ke o baa tie buloba yo.

7 Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us and courteously entertained us for three days.

Li kpendegili yudaano den yi Pupiliyusa. O diegu den kuu leni tin ye naankani. O den cua ki biali ti ki gedini ti o denpo ki ga ti cangu hali dana taa leni ki nunmanga.

8 The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.

Li den sua ke o baa dua ke o gbannadi beni ke o go pia puhaankaaga. Polo den gedi o kani ki maani opo o nii ki jaandi ki paagi o.

9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.

Lani yaa po li kpendegili yaaba, yaaba n yia kuli den cua o kani ke o paagi ba.

10 They also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

Bi den jigini ti bonhanla. Tin baa fii yaa yogunu, bi den puni ti tin luo yaala kuli.

11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”

Li den sua ke ñinbiatoagu ñani Alisandile ki pundi tin ye ya kpendegili hali ke u faalu daa fii ya yogunu, ki sedi ki gu hali ke u faalu yogunu n pendi. Bi den yi gu Diyosikuli. Tin den tieni hmaali taa likani, ti den kua gu niinni ki fii.

12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

Ti den duodi ki pundi Silakusa dogu, ti den tieni likani dana taa.

13 From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,

Ti den suagi liiga ki balini mi ñincianma jaali ki pundi Lejiyo. Lan den fii ki faa, ganu po faalu den fii ki tudi ti ki teni ke ti pundi Pusoli li danlieli daali.

14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.

Ti den lingi ki laa ti kpiiba likani ke bi mia ti ke ti kali leni ba dana lele. Ti sancenli den tientieni yene ke ti gedi Loma.

15 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.

Hali ke ti daa den pundi Loma, li den sua ke ti kpiiba yaaba n ye Loma den gaa ti laabaalo ki tuogi ti Apiyusa daaga kani. Nitoaba mo den cua hali yaa candiegu n yi a candietaada ki tuogi ti lankani. Polo n den laa ba, o den tuondi U Tienu ki paagi o pali.

16 When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

Ti den pundi Loma, a minteela yudaano den teni a kadibila o yudanciamo nuu nni, ama bi den puni Polo ke o baa li dieli wan baa ye naankani o bebe ke minteeli yenli gu o.

17 After three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. 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,

Dana taa n den pendi, Polo den yini Jufinba nikpiaga kuli. Ban den taani, o den yedi ba: N kpiiba, mii tieni liba ti buolu po, nii yie ti yaajanba bogida mo, baa yeni bi den kuani nni li kadidieli nni Jelusalema, ki go teni nni Loma yaaba nuu nni.

18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.

Loma yaaba den buali nni ki bua ki bandi min pia yaa tagili, bi den bua ki ha nni kelima baa laa ke n tieni liba yaala n pundi ban kpa nni.

19 But when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

Ama Jufinba n den yie, n den sua ke li tie npo tiladi min soagini n buudi Sesa kani. Mii tieni yeni kelima n bua ki tabi n buolu tuotabiguba kuli ka.

20 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.”

Lani yaa po ke n mia ki bua ki la yi ki go maadi leni yi. Kelima li tie Isalele yaaba suginma po ke n luo leni i kuseseli na.

21 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.

Bi den goa ki yedi o: Yii baa tiliba kuli ke li ñani Jude diema po ki maadi a maama. Ti kpiiba siiga mo oba naa ñani lipo ki cua ki maadi apo yaala n bia.

22 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.”

De ti bua ki gbadi a kani han sua yaala, kelima ti bani ke bi yie u naa jaanbuolu i kaani kuli.

23 When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about God’s Kingdom, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until evening.

Bi den bili ban baa goa ki taani yaa daali. Li daali n den pundi bi tianba den taani wan cani naani ki yaba. Bi den cua ku tasoangu ke Polo den maadi leni ba ki yaa caa hali ku yenjuagu, ki bundi bipo ki tieni seedi ke U Tieni diema pundi. O den togidi ba yaala n diani Musa balimaama nni leni bi sawalipuaba tila nni ki maadi Jesu maama fuuli, ki moandi ki baa dadi bi yama ban tuo ke Jesu maama tie moamoani.

24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

Bi nitianba den tuo ke wan maadi yaa maama tie moamoani, bi nitianba mo den yie baa tuo.

25 When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,

Ban den ña o kani ki niania leni biyaba, Poli den maadi mayenma ki pugini ki yedi: U Tienu Fuoma Yua den pia moamoani wan den teni ke o sawalipualo Esayi maadi leni yi yaajanba yaa maama ki yedi:

26 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.

Gedi u nibuolu na po ki yedi ba: Yi baa gbadi bonhanla, ama ki nan kan bandi liba, Yi baa noanli bonhanla, ama ki nan kan la liba.

27 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, then I would heal them.’

Kelima u nibuolu na pala juagi, Bi biini bi tuba ki hubini bi nuni. Ke ban da ti la leni bi nuni, ki da gbadi leni bi tuba, ki da ga bi pala nni, Ke ban da ti lebidi bi yama min paagi ba.

28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”

Polo den pugini ki yedi: Lanwani yin bandi mani ke U Tienu den soani o tindima maama yeni bi nilanba po yo. Bani wani baa cengi.

29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

Polo n den yedi yeni, Jufinba den ñani ki nia leni biyaba boncianla.

30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,

Lan pendi Polo den ye wan den pa i ligi ki ye yaa dieli nni obebe yeni binmuna lie. O den bialiti yaaba n kpendi a kani ki baa la o kuli.

31 preaching God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.

O den wangi ba U Tienu diema maama, ki go bangi ba o Diedo Jesu Kilisiti maama fuuli leni li papaali boncianla. Oba kuli ki den yie opo wan da maadi.
