Katwa Nono Katwa 28
1 Na idaa nin ghirik cancam, tiyinno idin yicu usibire Umalta.
And after we had escaped, we then realized that the island was called Malta. Yet truly, the natives offered us no small amount of humane treatment.
2 Anan kipine nama iwa seru nari nin nilip cas ba, ama iwa susuari ula isere nari vat, bara uwuru nin tituwui nat kubi.
For they refreshed us all by kindling a fire, because rain was imminent and because of the cold.
3 Na Bulus npitirino aca ataa ulaku, bara npuu nle, kubuni nuzu ku kantilaghe ucara.
But when Paul had gathered together a bundle of twigs, and had placed them on the fire, a viper, which had been drawn to the heat, fastened itself to 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 truly, when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they were saying to one another: “Certainly, this man must be a murderer, for though he escaped from the sea, vengeance will not permit him to live.”
5 Ama a zalina finawe na nya nla na imon nseeghe ba.
But shaking off the creature into the fire, he indeed suffered no ill effects.
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.
But they were supposing that he would soon swell up, and then would suddenly fall down and die. But having waited a long time, and seeing no ill effects in him, they changed their minds and were saying 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.
Now among these places were estates owned by the ruler of the island, named Publius. And he, taking us in, showed us kind hospitality for three days.
8 Uda soo na upiu nin nyrzunu nkifo ucifin Bublius, na Bulus ndoo kitine, ataa ghe nlira, atarda ghe acara anin shino ninghe.
Then it happened that the father of Publius lay ill with a fever and with dysentery. Paul entered to him, and when he had prayed and had laid his hands on him, he saved him.
9 Nwufu ni le imoonne, ngisin nanit lidan kuli alenge na iwa di a cine ba daa kitime, a shino nin ghinu.
When this had been done, all who had diseases on the island approached and were cured.
10 Anite tutung taa nari gongong nin likara. Kubi koo natiwa din pitiru kutura ti nyaa, inaa nari ile imon na dinin suu we.
And then they also presented us with many honors. And when we were ready to set sail, they gave us whatever we needed.
11 Na tipui titat nkata, tipiran nzirgin myen n Iskandariya kubi tituwui lidan kuli, na ana koo nzirge waa di ibari.
And so, after three months, we sailed in a ship from Alexandria, whose name was ‘the Castors,’ and which had wintered at the island.
12 Na ti tolon na nya kipin Sirakus, ti soo kikane ayiri atot.
And when we had arrived at Syracuse, we were delayed there for 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.
From there, sailing close to the shore, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, with the south wind blowing, we arrived on the second day at Puteoli.
14 Kikane ti see long linuwana iyicilari ti soo nanghinu udu ayiri kuzoor. Na nya na nere tiwa dak Uroma.
There, after locating the brothers, we were asked to remain with them for seven days. And then we went on to 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 there, when the brothers had heard of us, they went to meet us as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns. And when Paul had seen them, giving thanks to God, he 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 had arrived at Rome, Paul was given permission to stay by himself, with a soldier to guard 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 after the third day, he called together the leaders of the Jews. And when they had convened, he said to them: “Noble brothers, I have done nothing against the people, nor against the customs of the fathers, yet I was delivered as a 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.
And after they held a hearing about me, they would have released me, because there was no case for death against 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 with the Jews speaking against me, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, though it was not as if I had any kind of accusation against my own nation.
20 Bara ufo nacara ni, nwaa tirin nyene fi nnin kuru liru nin fi. Bara uyinnu n Israila ntaa inani na teri nin ninyan.”
And so, because of this, I requested to see you and to speak to you. For it is because of the hope of Israel that I am encircled 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.
But they said to him: “We have not received letters about you from Judea, nor have any of the other new arrivals among the brothers reported or spoken anything evil against you.
22 Ama ti dinin suu tilanza kitife inyanghari ukpliliu fe kiti na lele, bara na arik yiru uliru ulele di litife koweari.
But we are asking to hear your opinions from you, for concerning this sect, we know that it is being spoken against everywhere.”
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 a day for him, very many persons went to him at his guest quarters. And he discoursed, testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, using the law of Moses and the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Among mine wa yinin nin nile imon na abelle nani, na among yinna ba.
And some believed the things that he was saying, yet others did not believe.
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 could not agree among themselves, they departed, while Paul was speaking this one word: “How well did the Holy Spirit speak to our fathers through the prophet Isaiah,
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 to this people and say to them: Hearing, you shall hear and not understand, and seeing, you 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 has grown dull, and they have listened with reluctant ears, and they have closed their eyes tightly, lest perhaps they might see with the eyes, and hear with the ears, and understand with the heart, and so be converted, and I would heal them.’
28 Bara nani, usoo uyinin ina tuu nin tuce nnuzu Kutelle cin di Awurmi, tuting iba dinu atuf.”
Therefore, let it be known to you, that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they shall listen to it.”
29 Na ilanza ile imone, Ayahuduwa nyaa, na nyan salin nyinnu na nya mine.
And when he had said these things, the Jews went away from him, though they still had many questions 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.
Then he remained for two whole years in his own rented lodgings. And he received all who went in to 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 the things which are from the Lord Jesus Christ, with all faithfulness, without prohibition.
