Acts 28
1 When we had escaped, then they learnt that the island was called Malta.
Nitwakazubusigwa kabotu twanjila mukati, twakaziba kuti ako kasuwa kategwa 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.
Bantu bamumo bakatuchitila buuya bwindilide, pesi bakakunka mulilo, batutambula toonse, nkaambo kwakali muyooba alubo kakulokutontola.
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.
Pesi Pawulu nakabwezelela bukunikuni wabuwaala mumulilo, muzoka wakazwa nkaambo kakuumpa kwamulilo. Mpawo wanamatila aluboko lwa Pawulu.
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.”
Lino bakkali bamuchisi echi nibakabona munyama oyu ulalengelela aluboko lwa Pawulu, bakati kuli umwi awumwi, “Oyu mwalumi welede kuti mujayi wavunwa kulwizi. Lubeta talumuzumizyi pe kuti kachipona.”
5 However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.
Pesi nakamusansila mumulilo muzoka ulya, katakwe anakamuchisa pe.
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.
Bakalindila kabalangilila kuti ulachiswa ndulwe mukati na kuti kuwidaansi mpawawo. Pesi nibakamulangilizya kwachiindi chilamfu, babona takwe abubi bwakachitika alinguwe, bakasandula kuyeeya kwabo bati mwalumi oyu ngu Leza.
7 Now in the neighbourhood 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.
Lino abusena buli afwifwi kwakali nyika yakali yamuzuluzi mupati wakasuwa aaka, mwalumi utegwa Pabbuliyasi. Wakatutambula watukutawukila kwamazuba ataatu.
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.
Lino kwakaba kuti wisi wa Pabbuliyasi wakalikuchiswa ndulwe akania bugwalaya. Lino Pawulu nakaya kulinguwe, wakakomba, wamubikka maboko, mpawo wamuponia.
9 Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came and were cured.
Kuzwa akuchitika kwazezi, bantu biingi bakalikuchiswa mukasuwa aaka bakaza mpawo bakaponesegwa.
10 They also honoured us with many honours; and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
Bantu bakatulemeka abulemo bwiingi. Elyo nitwakaamba kweenda, bakatupa zyoonse nzitwakabulide.
11 After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose figurehead was “The Twin Brothers.”
Kuuzwa amyeezi itaatu twakeenda abwaato bwakali bwamaninsya chilimu choonse kabuli akasuwa, bwaato bwa Alekkizandiliya bwakalijisi chikozyano chaba leza bamambile kachili chitondezyo,
12 Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
Kuzwa nitwakasika adolopo litegwa Silakkiyasi twakakkala mazuba ataatu.
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,
Kuzwa mpawawo twakayamba mane twakusika kudolopo litegwa Legiyamu. Nikwakayinda zuba limwi kwakabuka moya wakumusanza, mpawo mukati kamazuba twakali twasika kudolopo lya-Pitiyoli.
14 where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
Awa twakajana babunyina bamwi, mpawo batutamba kuti tukkale ambabo kwamazuba aalimusanu aabili. Kwiinda munzila mbutwakasika ku 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.
Kuzwa mpawawo bakwesu nibakamvwa kuti twasika bakaza kuzotutambula ku Masasmbalilo a Apiyasi, akumaanda ataatu nkutwakali twaba.
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.
Nitwakanjila mu Loma, Pawulu wakangununwa kuti akkale alikke a silumamba sikumulinda.
17 After three days Paul called together those who were the Jewish leaders. 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,
Elyo kwakaba kuti nikwakayinda mazuba ataatu Pawulu wakayita basilutwe bama Juda. Lino nibakabangununa, wakati kulimbabo; “Nobakwesu, nikuba kuti tandijisi mulandu pe kubantu akutunsiyansiya twamataata, Ndakeetwa mbuli mwaange kuzwa ku Jelusalema ndabikwa mumaboko aba Loma.
18 who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
Nibakandibuzisisya, bakaba amoyo wakundangununa nkambo kwakabulika mulandu wakuti ndijiigwe.
19 But when the Judeans spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
Pesi bama Juda nibakambuula mbuli mbubayanda, ndakamanikizigwa kuti ndizobetekwe kunkuta ya Siza, nikuba kuti takuli ndikupa bantu bakuli ndiswe mulandu.
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.”
Nkambo kanzizyo ezi, nchindamwiita kuti ndimubone mpawo ngaambule andinywe, mbuli kuti nkambo kabulangizi bwa Izilayeli nchindisamide nketani eezi lino.
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.
Mpawo bakati kulinguwe, “Takwe anitwakatambula magwalo aambula azyanduwe, naba umwi wabakwesu wakaza kuzotwambila azyako, nikuba kwamba chimwi chibi atala anduwe.
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.”
Pesi tukumbila nduwe kuti uyeeya buti abukombi obu, nkaambo tulizi kuti bunowaambulwa azyambubo koonse koonse.
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 Yeshua, both from the Torah of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
Nibakabamba buzuba bwakuyooma anguwe, bantu biingi bakali kusika kung'anda yakwe. Wakabaambila kaambo kakwe, alubo kalungulula azyabwami bwa Leza. Wakeezya kubakombelezya azya Jesu, kubikka aamwi kuzwa kumulawu wa Mozesi awaba sinsimi kuzwa kuseni kuyosika goko.
24 Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
Bamwi bakazumina aatala azintu ezi zyakali kwaambwa, pesi bamwi tebakazumina pe.
25 When they didn’t agree amongst themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one message: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Nibakakkachilwa kuzuminana kumakani aya, bakazwa bamusiya Pawulu kali wamba ijwi eli: “Muuya Uusalala wakaambula kwiindilila muli Isaya musinsimi kuli bamawuso,
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.
“Wakati, koya kubantu aba ukaambe kuti, 'Akumvwa muyoomvwa pesi tamukwe nimuyomvwisisisya pe. akubona mulakubona pesi takwepe kunobenesesya loko.
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.’
Nkambo moyo wabantu aba wasitikwa, amatwi abo takonomvwa pe, alubo bakafwinya meso aabo, mbokunga ngabalabona ameso abo mpawo bamvwe amatwi abo mpawo bamvwisisye amyoyo yabo mpawo basanduke lubo kuti ndibaponisye.”
28 “Be it known therefore to you that the salvation of God is sent to the nations, and they will listen.”
Nchinchicho, mwelede kuziba kuti olu lufutuko lwa Leza lwakatuminwa bamasi alubo bayoswilizya.
29 When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute amongst themselves.
Lino nakamba makani aya, bama Juda bakeenda alubo bakanyongana loko.
30 Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house and received all who were coming to him,
Pawulu wakakkala minyaka ibiili mung'anda yakwe mwini yakuula.
31 proclaiming God’s Kingdom and teaching the things concerning the Lord Yeshua the Messiah with all boldness, without hindrance.
Wakali kukambawuka bwami bwa Leza, alubo wakalikuyiisya azya Mwami Jesu Kkilisito abusichaamba buzulide kakutakwe achimugulungania pe.
