Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 28
1 Jejile chakingibhwa kisi, niwo nichimenya ati lisinga elibhilikilwa Malta.
And having escaped, we learned that the island was called Melita.
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.
And the barbarians showed us no little kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the rain which had come on, 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.
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid it on the fire, there came forth a viper by reason 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.”
And when the barbarians saw the animal hanging from his hand, they said to one another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom though he hath escaped the sea, Justice hath not permitted to live.
5 Mbe nawe mwenene nailasa mu mulilo intyanyi eyo Nolwo omwene atabhwene mauta gonna gona.
He, however, shaking off the animal into the fire suffered no harm.
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 were looking for his becoming swollen, or suddenly falling down dead. But after looking a great while, and seeing no harm come 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.
And in the neighborhood of that place were lands be longing to the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who welcomed us, and entertained us kindly three days.
8 Jabhonekene ati esemwene Pablio agwatilwe omuswija no bhulwae bho kuchugula. Nawe Paulo ejile amujako, nasabhwa, no mutelako amabhoko gae, no kumwiulisha.
And it happened that the father of Publius was lying sick with a fever and dysentery; to whom Paul went in, and, when he had prayed, laid his hands on him, and healed him.
9 Wejile jabhonekana jinu, abhanu abhandi kwi singa lilya bhanu bhaliga nibhasibhwa nibhagenda na nibheulisibhwa.
And when this was done, the others also who had diseases in the island came, and were healed;
10 Abhanu nibhachiyana echibhalo kwe chibhalo chafu. Anu chaliga nichenda okugenda mulugendo, bhachiyanile bhinu chaliga chikenele.
who also honored us with many honors, and when we put to sea, loaded us with such things as were necessary.
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.
And after three months we put to sea in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the island, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
12 Wejile chakinga mu musi ogwa Sirakusa, chenyanjile alia naku esatu.
And landing 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.
and from thence we made a circuit, and came to Rhegium; and after one day a south wind arose, and we came on the second day to Puteoli,
14 Eyo nichibhasanga abhaili abhandi na nibhachifogesha okwinyanja nabho kwa naku musanju. Munjila inu nichija Rumi.
where we found brethren, and were entreated to remain with them seven days; and so we went toward 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.
And from thence, the brethren having heard of us came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns; at the sight of whom Paul thanked God and took courage.
16 Chejile chengila mu Roma, Paulo ekilisibhe okwikala enyele-la amwi no musilikale unu amulindaga.
And when we had come to Rome, Paul was permitted to dwell by himself, with the soldier that 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.
And it came to pass that after three days he called together the chief men of the Jews, and when they had met he said to them, Brethren, I, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was delivered up a 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, wished to release me, because I had done nothing deserving death.
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 constrained to appeal to Caesar; not that I had any charge to bring against 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 reason therefore I have called for you, to see you and speak to you; for it is on account of the hope of Israel that 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.
And they said to him, We neither received letters from Judea concerning thee, nor did any one of the brethren that came report or speak any evil of thee.
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 think it proper to hear from thee what thou thinkest; for with regard to this sect, we know that it is everywhere 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.
And when they had appointed him a day, many came to him at his lodging; to whom he expounded, and earnestly testified, the kingdom of God, endeavoring to persuade them concerning Jesus both from the Law of Moses, and from the Prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Abhandi bhebhwe nibhakongibhwa okulubhana ne misango jilya jinu jaikilwe, mu mwanya abhandi bhatamwikilisishe.
And some believed the things spoken, and some believed not.
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.
So, disagreeing with one another, they took their departure, after Paul had spoken one word: Well did the Holy Spirit speak 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, 'Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see and not 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 the heart of this people hath become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart and turn from their ways, and I should heal them.'”
28 Kulwejo, kubheile okumenya ati omwelulo gunu ogwa Nyamuanga gusililwe ku bhanu bha maanga, na abhajokungwa.” (komelesha: olugobho lunu
Be it therefore known to you, that to the gentiles this salvation of God hath been sent; they, moreover, will hear.
29 Mu mwanya gunu ejile aika emisango jinu, abhayaudi bhasokeleo, bhali na mabhushanyo manene agati yebhwe, “Gutalimo mu nyandiko je kisi eja kala).
30 Paulo enyanjile mu nyumba yae inu aliga alimo kwa mwanya gwa myaka jone ebhili, na abhafogesishe bhona bhanu bhajaga ewae.
And he abode two whole years in his own hired house and gladly received all that came in 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 confidence, without hindrance from any one.
