Katwa Nono Katwa 28
1 Na idaa nin ghirik cancam, tiyinno idin yicu usibire Umalta.
And when we were escaped, we ascertained that the island was called Malta.
2 Anan kipine nama iwa seru nari nin nilip cas ba, ama iwa susuari ula isere nari vat, bara uwuru nin tituwui nat kubi.
The foreign-speaking people showed us uncommon kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome, because of the rain and because of the cold.
3 Na Bulus npitirino aca ataa ulaku, bara npuu nle, kubuni nuzu ku kantilaghe ucara.
Now when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and thrown them on the fire, a viper crawled out because 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.”
When the natives saw the reptile hanging on his hand, they began saying to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet justice does not allow him to live."
5 Ama a zalina finawe na nya nla na imon nseeghe ba.
However, he shook off the reptile into the fire and received 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.
But they kept expecting him to swell up or fall down dead suddenly. But after waiting a long time, and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said over and over 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 in the neighborhood there were estates belonging to the governor of the island, whose name was Publius. He received us and entertained us for 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.
It happened however that the father of Publius was lying ill of fever and dysentery. So Paul went to see him 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.
After this all the other sick people on the island came, and continued to be restored to health.
10 Anite tutung taa nari gongong nin likara. Kubi koo natiwa din pitiru kutura ti nyaa, inaa nari ile imon na dinin suu we.
These loaded us with many honors and, when at last we set sail, they put on board such things as we needed.
11 Na tipui titat nkata, tipiran nzirgin myen n Iskandariya kubi tituwui lidan kuli, na ana koo nzirge waa di ibari.
Three months passed before we set sail an Alexandrian ship which had wintered in the island. Its name was "The Twin Brothers."
12 Na ti tolon na nya kipin Sirakus, ti soo kikane ayiri atot.
And touching at Syracuse, we stayed 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.
From thence, tacking round, we reached Rhegium. Next day a south wind sprang up, which brought us in a day to Puteoli.
14 Kikane ti see long linuwana iyicilari ti soo nanghinu udu ayiri kuzoor. Na nya na nere tiwa dak Uroma.
There we found brothers who invited us to stay a week with them. Then we reached 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.
From there the brothers, when they heard about us, came out to meet us as far as the Appian Forum and the Three Taverns. When Paul saw them 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.
When we finally entered Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with the 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.
Now three days later he called the leading Jews together, and when they were come together he said to them. "Brothers, I was delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans, though I had done nothing against the people or the customs of your fathers.
18 Na itirini, usuu minere wa di iciini, bara na iwa se imon woru imolui ba.
"Then when they had examined me they wanted to set me at liberty 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 objected I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything 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.”
This is the reason why I begged you to see and speak with me. For because of 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.
They said to him. "We neither received any letters about you from Judea nor has any brother come hither to report or speak any harm of 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 eager to hear from you what it is that you believe; for we all know that as for this sect it is everywhere 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.
So they arranged a day with him and came to him in his lodgings in great numbers. He expounded the matter to them; testifying to the Kingdom of God, and persuading them about Jesus, from morning till evening, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
24 Among mine wa yinin nin nile imon na abelle nani, na among yinna ba.
Some began to believe what he said, but some were unbelieving.
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.
Unable to agree among themselves, they began to go, but not before Paul had spoken a word to them, saying. "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your ancestors, 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.
"Go to the people and tell them, You will hear and hear, and by no means understand; And will look, and by no means see.
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 this people’s heart is grown obtuse, Their ears are heavy of hearing, Their eyes have they closed, Lest they should see with their eyes And hear with their ears, Lest they understand with their heart, And turn again, and heal them.
28 Bara nani, usoo uyinin ina tuu nin tuce nnuzu Kutelle cin di Awurmi, tuting iba dinu atuf.”
"Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation of God is now sent unto the Gentiles. They will listen to it."
29 Na ilanza ile imone, Ayahuduwa nyaa, na nyan salin nyinnu na nya mine.
When he finished speaking, the Jews departed, and reasoned 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.
After this Paul lived for two whole years in his own rented house, and used to receive all who came to see him.
31 Awa din sun waazi kilari Kutelle anin dursuzo ile imon nbelen Cikilari Yesu Kristi sa fiu. Na umong wantinghe ba.
He continued to preach the kingdom of God, and to teach about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, quite unmolested.
