Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 28
1 Jejile chakingibhwa kisi, niwo nichimenya ati lisinga elibhilikilwa Malta.
When we had escaped, then we learned that the island was called Malta.
2 Abhanu abhenengo abhende aliya atali ati bhachilamie kwo bhwila bhunu bhwiile, nawe bhakongesishe omulilo no kuchifogesha bhona, kunsonga ya ing'ubha na imbheyo inu yaliga nigendelela.
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.
3 Mbe nawe Paulo anu aliga nakumanya liganda lya jing'wi no kulita mu mulilo, injoka noto eya isumu nisoka mung'wi jilya kwa insonga ya libhila-bhila lilya, na nimwisingilila kukubhoko kwae.
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and placed them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 Abhanu abhenengo bha alia bhejile bhalola intyanyi yenenele okusoka ku kubhoko kwae, abhanu nibhaika abhene kwa bhene, “Omunu unu Ni chimali Ni mwiti Nolwo kutyo( akila) mu nyanja, nawe echimali chitamusiga kubha muanga.”
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice has not allowed to live."
5 Mbe nawe mwenene nailasa mu mulilo intyanyi eyo Nolwo omwene atabhwene mauta gonna gona.
However he shook off the creature into the fire, and was not harmed.
6 Abhene bhaliga nibhalindilila ati kafwimba kwo muswija amwi bhwangu kajokugwa no kufwa. Mbe nawe bhejile bhamulola kwo mwanya mulela na mbhalola ati gutalio musango gunu gutali gwe chimile ku mwene, nibhaindula ameganilisho gebhwe no kwaika ati aliga ali mungu.
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.
7 Mbe ayei na libhala lilya bhwaliga bhulio obhusi bhunu gwaliga guli mugabho gwo omukulu wa lisinga, omunu oyo aliga natogwa Pablio. Achifogesishe no kuchifogesha kwa naku esatu.
Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief official of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.
8 Jabhonekene ati esemwene Pablio agwatilwe omuswija no bhulwae bho kuchugula. Nawe Paulo ejile amujako, nasabhwa, no mutelako amabhoko gae, no kumwiulisha.
It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him.
9 Wejile jabhonekana jinu, abhanu abhandi kwi singa lilya bhanu bhaliga nibhasibhwa nibhagenda na nibheulisibhwa.
Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.
10 Abhanu nibhachiyana echibhalo kwe chibhalo chafu. Anu chaliga nichenda okugenda mulugendo, bhachiyanile bhinu chaliga chikenele.
They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.
11 Wejile gatulao mesi gasatu, chagendele mu lugendo lwa mu meli eya Iskanda inu yaliga yabhumilwe na imbeyo ao mwisiga, inu abhatangasha bhae bhaliga bhali Bhaili bhabhili abha malongo.
After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was "The Twin Brothers."
12 Wejile chakinga mu musi ogwa Sirakusa, chenyanjile alia naku esatu.
Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.
13 Okusokelelao nichigenda nichikinga mu musi ogwa Regio. Nichimalao lunaku lumwi omuyaga gwo mulimbe nigubhonekana ao nao, Wejile jatulao naku ebhili nichikinga mu musi ogwa Putoli.
From there we cast off and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli,
14 Eyo nichibhasanga abhaili abhandi na nibhachifogesha okwinyanja nabho kwa naku musanju. Munjila inu nichija Rumi.
where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome.
15 Okusoka eyo abhaili bhalya, bhejile bhongwa emisango jeswe ati, Bhejile okuchilamila eyo mwigulilo elya Apias na jinyumba esatu jinu ejilisha. Paulo ejile abhalola abhaili bhalya namusima Nyamuanga namba okubha no bhubhasi.
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.
16 Chejile chengila mu Roma, Paulo ekilisibhe okwikala enyele-la amwi no musilikale unu amulindaga.
When we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.
17 Mbe Jejile jatulao naku esatu Paulo abhabhilikie abhalume bhalya bhanu bhaliga bhatangasha agati ya abhayaudi. Bhejile bhejila amwi, aikile kubhene ati, “Bhaili, amwi nejo ati nichali kukola chikayo chona chona ku bhanu bhanu amwi ninkola obhutasikane no bwitondi bhwa bhalata bheswe bhanu bhachitangatie, nasosibhweo kuti mubhwoya unu asokele Yerusalemu kukinga mu mabhoko ga bharumi.
It happened that after three days he 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,
18 Bhejile bhamala okumbusilisha, nibhakena okunsiga kutyoela, kunsonga yaliga italio nsonga kwanye anye inu yaliga inyiile indamu yo lufu.
who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me.
19 Mbe nawe abhayaudi bhalya bhejile bhaika kenu bhatasikene ku bhwendi bhwebhwe, kwanyiile okugendelela na ikesi kukinga ku Kaisari, Nolwo kutyo jaliga jili ati enileta amasitaka ingulu ya liyanga lyani.
But when the Jews spoke against it, I was forced to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.
20 Kunsonga yo kugendelela na ikesi yani, kwibhyo, nasabhile nibhalole no kwaika nabho. Niyo insonga ya chilya chinu Israel Ali no bhubhasi nacho, nibhoyelwe kwo kubhoywa kunu.
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."
21 Okumala Nibhamubhwila ati, “Chichaliga kulamila inyalubha okusoka Yudea kwo kulubhana nawe, nolwo atalio muili unu ejile no kusosha emisango amwi kwaika musango gwona gwona guli mibhibhi okulubhana nawe.
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.
22 Mbe nawe echenda okungwa okusoka kwawe owiganilishaki okulubhana na liijo linu elya bhanu bhanu, Kulwo kubha eimenyekana kwiswe ati elyaika bhutasikane na bhuli ebhala.”
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."
23 Anu bhaliga bhauye olunaku ingulu ya, bhanu bhafu kukilao nibhamulubha kwi bhala elyo aliga ekae. Aikile omusango gulya ku bhene no kubhambalila okulubhana no bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga. Alegejishe okubhakongya-kongya okulubhana naYesu, ku njila jona ebhili okusoka mu bhilagilo bha Musa no okusoka ku bhalagi, okwambila katondo kukinga kegolo.
When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Abhandi bhebhwe nibhakongibhwa okulubhana ne misango jilya jinu jaikilwe, mu mwanya abhandi bhatamwikilisishe.
Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
25 Wejile bhasingwa okungwana abhene kwa bhene, bhasokeleo Wejile Paulo agwaika omusango gunu gumwi, “Mwoyo Mwelu aikile kisi kwo kulabha ku Isaya omulagi ku bhalata bhemwe.
When they did not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, "The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, the prophet, to your fathers,
26 Aikile, 'Nugende ku bhanu bhanu waike, “Kwa matwi gemwe omungwa, Mbe nawe mutakusombokelwao chinu; Na kwa meso gemwe omulola Mbe nawe mutakumenya.
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.
27 Kulwo kubha emyoyo ja abhanu bhanu jalengae, amatwi gebhwe agongwa kwa jinyako, gafundikiywe ameso gebhwe; koleleki ati bhasige Okulola kwa meso gebhwe, no kungwa kwa matwi gebhwe, no kusombokelwa kwe mioyo jebhwe, no kuinduka lindi, nanye nakabheulisishe.'”
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, and I would heal them.'
28 Kulwejo, kubheile okumenya ati omwelulo gunu ogwa Nyamuanga gusililwe ku bhanu bha maanga, na abhajokungwa.” (komelesha: olugobho lunu
"Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen."
29 Mu mwanya gunu ejile aika emisango jinu, abhayaudi bhasokeleo, bhali na mabhushanyo manene agati yebhwe, “Gutalimo mu nyandiko je kisi eja kala).
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.
30 Paulo enyanjile mu nyumba yae inu aliga alimo kwa mwanya gwa myaka jone ebhili, na abhafogesishe bhona bhanu bhajaga ewae.
And Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him,
31 Aliga nasimula obhukama bha Nyamuanga no kwiigisha emisango ja Latabhugenyi Yesu Kristo kwo bhubhasi bhona. Atalio unu amuganyishe.
proclaiming the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
