Katwa Nono Katwa 28
1 Na idaa nin ghirik cancam, tiyinno idin yicu usibire Umalta.
And when we were safe, we made the discovery that the island was named Melita.
2 Anan kipine nama iwa seru nari nin nilip cas ba, ama iwa susuari ula isere nari vat, bara uwuru nin tituwui nat kubi.
And the simple people living there were uncommonly kind to us, for they made a fire for us, and took us in, because it was raining and cold.
3 Na Bulus npitirino aca ataa ulaku, bara npuu nle, kubuni nuzu ku kantilaghe ucara.
But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the 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 when the people saw it hanging on his hand, they said to one another, Without doubt this man has put someone to death, and though he has got safely away from the sea, God will not let him go on living.
5 Ama a zalina finawe na nya nla na imon nseeghe ba.
But shaking off the beast into the fire, he got no damage.
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 had the idea that they would see him becoming ill, or suddenly falling down dead; but after waiting a long time, and seeing that no damage came to him, changing their opinion, they said 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 near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests 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.
And the father of Publius was ill, with a disease of the stomach; to whom Paul went, and put his hands on him, with prayer, and made him well.
9 Nwufu ni le imoonne, ngisin nanit lidan kuli alenge na iwa di a cine ba daa kitime, a shino nin ghinu.
And when this took place, all the others in the island who had diseases came and were made well.
10 Anite tutung taa nari gongong nin likara. Kubi koo natiwa din pitiru kutura ti nyaa, inaa nari ile imon na dinin suu we.
Then they gave us great honour, and, when we went away, they put into the ship whatever things we were in need of.
11 Na tipui titat nkata, tipiran nzirgin myen n Iskandariya kubi tituwui lidan kuli, na ana koo nzirge waa di ibari.
And after three months we went to sea in a ship of Alexandria sailing under the sign of the Dioscuri, which had been at the island for the winter.
12 Na ti tolon na nya kipin Sirakus, ti soo kikane ayiri atot.
And going into the harbour at Syracuse, we were waiting 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.
And from there, going about in a curve, we came to Rhegium: and after one day a south wind came up and on the day after we came to Puteoli:
14 Kikane ti see long linuwana iyicilari ti soo nanghinu udu ayiri kuzoor. Na nya na nere tiwa dak Uroma.
Where we came across some of the brothers, who kept us with them for seven days; and so we came 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 the brothers, when they had news of us, came out from town as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to have a meeting with us: and Paul, seeing them, gave praise to God and took heart.
16 Kubi koo nati pira Uroma, icino Bulus se ku a soo nin litime nin ku soje na awa din yenjughe.
And when we came into Rome, they let Paul have a house for himself and the armed man who kept watch over 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.
Then after three days he sent for the chief men of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, My brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the ways of our fathers, I was given, 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.
Who, when they had put questions to me, were ready to let me go free, 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 made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my 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.”
But for this reason I sent for you, to see and have talk with you: for because of the hope of Israel I am in these chains.
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.
And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about 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 have a desire to give hearing to your opinion: for as to this form of religion, we have knowledge that in all places it is attacked.
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 a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.
24 Among mine wa yinin nin nile imon na abelle nani, na among yinna ba.
And some were in agreement with what he said, but some had doubts.
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 they went away, for there was a division among them after Paul had said this one thing: Well did the Holy Spirit say by the prophet Isaiah to your fathers,
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 this people and say, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:
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 become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.
28 Bara nani, usoo uyinin ina tuu nin tuce nnuzu Kutelle cin di Awurmi, tuting iba dinu atuf.”
Be certain, then, that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will give hearing.
29 Na ilanza ile imone, Ayahuduwa nyaa, na nyan salin nyinnu na nya mine.
30 Na nya nakus aba cip, Bulus soo na nya kilari me na awa kifo adin biizu, anin seru ale vat na idaa kitime.
And for the space of two years, Paul was living in the house of which he had the use, and had talk with all those who went in to see 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 about the Lord Jesus Christ without fear, and no orders were given that he was not to do so.
