Matendo ga Mitume 28
1 Patuikite salama, tutangite panga kisiwa kikemelwa Malta.
And when they had escaped, then they knew that the isle was called Melita.
2 Bandu batama poo ni balo patupeya ukarimu wa kawaida wa kwaa, ila baliwasha mwoto na kutukaribisha twabote, kwa sababu ya ula na mbepo yaibile itiendelea.
And the barbarous 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 Lakini Paulo paabile atikusanya mzigo wa anju na kuubeka pamwoto, nng'ambo nchunu ywabile na sumu aboka mu'yelo anju kwa sababu ya lelo lijoto, na akajizungusha mu'maboko gake.
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 Bandu wenyeji wa palo pabamweni yolo mnyama atining'ia boka mu'maboko gake, babaya bene kwa bene, “Mundu yolo hakika ni muuaji ambaye aboka mulibahari, lakini haki haimuruhusu tama.”
And when the barbarians saw the animal 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 Lakini ywembe atintupia yolo mnyama katika mwoto na apata kwaa madhara yoyote.
And he shook off the animal into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Bembe batimgojea avimbe kwa homa au atomboke gafla na kubulagika. Lakini baada ya kunlolekeya kwa muda mrefu na kubona panga ntopo likowe ambalo ni lakwaida kwaa kwake, balibadilisha malango yabe no baya abile nongo.
Yet they looked when he would have swelled, 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 Bai mahali palo papipi pabile na bui ambayo ubile mali ya nkolo wa kisiwa, mundu ywakemelwa Pablio. Atitukaribisha na kutukarimu kwa masoba atatu.
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the isle, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
8 ipalike panga tate ba Pablio abile na homa na ugonjwa wa kuhara. Na Paulo pmwendea, akiloba, kabeka maboko nnani yake, na kumponya.
And it came to pass that the father of Publius lay sick with a fever, and a bloody-flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Baada ya lee pangika, bandu benge palo pakisiwa baabile atamwe batiyenda na kuponelwa.
So when this was done, others also who had diseases in the isle, came, and were healed:
10 Bandu batimuheshimu kwa heshima yanyansima. Tubile twatijiandaa kusafiri, batupeya yelo twahitajia.
Who also honored us with many honors; and when we departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
11 Baada ya miei itatu, twatisafiri nkati ya meli ya iskanda ambayo ibile imepigwa mbepo kolyo pakisiwa, ambayo viongozi wake babile alongo abele mapacha.
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Baada ya kuwa twatua katika mji wa Sirakusa, twatama kolyo masoba atatu.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
13 Iapangike palo twatisafiri katika mji wa Regio. Baada ya lisoba limo mbepo wa kusini uboite ghafla, na baada ya masoba abele tuikite katika mji wa Putoli.
And from thence we made a circuit, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
14 Kolyo twatikwembana baadhi ya alongo na twatikaribishwa na tama nao kwa masoba saba. Kwa ndela yee tuisile Rumi.
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went towards Rome.
15 Boka kolyo balo alongo, baada ya kuwa wayowine habari zetu, baisile kutupokya kolyo kulisoko lya Apias na Hotel tatu. Paulo paabweni balo alongo atimshukuru Nnongo kajipea ujasiri.
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 Patujingii Roma, Paulo atiruhusiwa tama kichake pamope na yolo askari ywabile akinlinda.
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 Bai ibile baada ya masoba atatu Paulo atibakema pamope balo alalome babile viongozi kati ya Ayahudi. Pabaisile pamope, abaya kwao, “Alongo, pamope na panga nipangite kosa lolote kwa bandu aba au panga kinchogo na taratibu za apindo bitu batuyongolya, natitolewa kati mfungwa boka Yerusalemu mpaka katika maboko ga Arumi.
And it came to pass, that after three days, Paul called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
18 Baada ya kunnaluya, batamaniya kunileka huru, kwa sababu kwabile ntopo sababu kwango nenga yastahili adhabu ya kiwo.
Who when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Lakini balo Ayahudi pabalongela kinyume cha shauku yabe, nililazimika kukata rufaa kwa Kaisaria, ila ibile kwaa kati panga naleta mashitaka nnani ya litaifa lyango.
But when the Jews spoke against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Cesar; not that I had aught to accuse my nation of.
20 Kwa sababu ya kukata kwango rufaa, nga nyo, niloba kubabona na longela namwenga. Kwa sababu ya chelo ambacho Israeli abile na ujasiri nacho, nitabilwe na kifungo chee.
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 Boka po bammakiya, “Twapokya kwaa barua boka Yudea kuhusu wenga, wala ntopo nongo ywaisa na kutoa taarifa au baya neno lolote linoite kwaa nnani ya wenga.
And they said to him, We have neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, neither have any of the brethren that came shown or spoken any harm of thee.
22 Lakini twapala kuyowa boka kwako wawaza namani kuhusu lee likundi lya bandu aba, kwa sababu iyowanike kwetu panga lalongela kinyume kila mahali.”
But we desire to hear from thee, what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
23 Pababile batitenga lisoba kwa ajili yake, bandu banyansima baisa mahali paabile atama. Kabaya lelo likowe kwao na kushuhudia kuhusu ufalme wa Nnongo. Atijaribu kubashawishi kuhusu Yesu, kwa namna zote ibele boka katika saliya ya Musa na boka kwa manabii, toka bwamba mpaka kitamwinyo.
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 Baadhi ya bembe batishawishika kuhusu makowe yalo yabayilwe, na benge baaminiya kwaa.
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
25 Pabatishindwa yeketyana bene kwa bene, batiboka baada ya Paulo kulibaya likowe lee limo, “Roho Mtakatifu abaya vyema pitya Isaya nabii kwa tate bitu,
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after Paul had spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit by Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
26 Abaya,'Yenda kwa bandu aba ubaye, “Kwa makutu yinu mwalowa sikia, lakini mupekania kwaa; na kwa minyo yinu mwalowa lola lakini mutangite kwaa.
Saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive.
27 Kwaajili ya mioyo ya bandu aba ibile dhaifu, makutu gabe gapekanie kwa taabu, watifunga minyo yabe; ili panga kana patange kwa minyo yabe, na kupekania kwa makutu gabe, na kutanga kwa mioyo yabe, na kerebuka kae, na nalowa kubaponya.”
For the heart of this people is become 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 Kwa eyo mpalikwa kutanga panga awoo wokovu wa Nnongo utipelekwa kwa bandu ba Mataifa, na balowa kuwapekania.”
Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
30 Pulo atami mu'nyumba yake ya kupanga kwa miaka yote ibele, na atibakaribisha bote baisile kwake.
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in to him,
31 Abile akihubiri ufalme wa Nnongo na abile akifundisha makowe nnani ya Ngwana Yesu Kristo kwa ujasiri wote. Ntopo ywankanikiya.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
