1And when we were escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita.
1 Bi nu rëccee, nu yég ne dun baa nga tudd Màlt.
2And the barbarians showed us no common kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
2 Te waa réew ma won nu laabiir gu ràññiku, ndaxte taalal nañu nu safara, ganale nu ndax taw bi sóob ak sedd bi.
3But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out by reason of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
3 Pool nag di for matt, di ko def ca taal ba, jaan ne ca mëlle ndax tàngoor wa, taq ci loxoom.
4And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped from the sea, yet Justice hath not suffered to live.
4 Bi waa réew ma gisee rab wa wéqu ci loxoom nag, ñuy waxante naan: «Ci lu wóor nit kii reykat la; te bi mu rëccee ca géej ga sax, ndogalu Yàlla mayu ko mu dund.»
5Howbeit he shook off the creature into the fire, and took no harm.
5 Waaye Pool yëlëb rab wa ca safara sa, te wàññiwu ko dara.
6But they expected that he would have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but when they were long in expectation and beheld nothing amiss came to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
6 Nit ñi di xaar mu newi, mbaa mu ne dàll, dee; waaye bi ñu négee lu yàgg te gis ne dara jotu ko, ñu soppi xel ne: «Kii yàlla la.»
7Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and entertained us three days courteously.
7 Amoon na nag ca wet ya ay suuf yu doon moomeelu ku tudd Publiyus, di kilifag dun ba. Mu teeru nu, ganale nu ngan gu réy diirub ñetti fan.
8And it was so, that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery: unto whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laying his hands on him healed him.
8 Fekk baayu Publiyus dafa tëdd ndax ay tàngoori yaram yu koy dikkal ak biiru taññ. Pool nag dem seeti ko, ñaan ci Yàlla, teg ko ay loxoom, mu daldi wér.
9And when this was done, the rest also that had diseases in the island came, and were cured:
9 Ci kaw loolu jarag ya ca des ca dun ba daldi dikk, amaat wér-gi-yaram.
10who also honored us with many honors; and when we sailed, they put on board such things as we needed.
10 Ñu teral nu ci fànn yu bare, te bi nuy dem, ñu jox nu li nuy soxla lépp.
11And after three months we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was The Twin Brothers.
11 Bi nu fa amee ñetti weer, nu dugg ca gaal gu lollikoo ca dun ba, daldi tàbbi ca géej ga. Gaalu dëkku Alegsàndiri la woon, te yor xàmmikaay guy nataalu Kastor ak Polugsë.
12And touching at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
12 Noonu nu teer dëkku Sirakus, toog fa ñetti fan.
13And from thence we made a circuit, and arrived at Rhegium: and after one day a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli;
13 Nu jóge fa, leru tefes ga, ba agsi Resiyo. Ca ëllëg sa ngelawu sudd daldi jóg, te ca ñaareelu fan ba nu teer Pusol.
14where we found brethren, and were entreated to tarry with them seven days: and so we came to Rome.
14 Gis nanu fa ay bokk, ñu ñaan nu, nu toog fa ayu-bés. Noonu nu dem Room.
15And from thence the brethren, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns; whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
15 Sunuy xebaar law na, ba egg ca bokk ya fa dëkk, noonu ñu gatandu nu ba ca péncu Apiyus ak bérab bu ñuy wax Ñetti añukaay ya. Bi leen Pool gisee, mu sant Yàlla, daldi takk fitam.
16And when we entered into Rome, Paul was suffered to abide by himself with the soldier that guarded him.
16 Bi nu dikkee Room nag, ñu may Pool, mu dëkk fa ko lew, moom ak xarekat ba koy wottu.
17And it came to pass, that after three days he called together those that were the chief of the Jews: and when they were come together, he said unto them, I, brethren, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, yet was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans:
17 Bi ñetti fan wéyee, mu woolu njiiti Yawuti dëkk ba. Bi ñu dajaloo nag, mu wax leen lii: «Bokk yi, jàpp nañu ma ci Yerusalem, jébbal ma waa Room, fekk defuma dara luy suufeel sunu xeet, mbaa lu juuyoo ak sunuy aaday maam.
18who, when they had examined me, desired to set me at liberty, because there was no cause of death in me.
18 Waa Room nag seet sama mbir, te bëgg maa bàyyi, ndaxte toppuñu ma dara lu jar dee.
19But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had aught whereof to accuse my nation.
19 Waaye bi ko Yawut ya bañee, fas yéene naa dénk sama mbir Sesaar, fekk ba tey awma dara lu may taqal sama xeet.
20For this cause therefore did I entreat you to see and to speak with [me]: for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
20 Moo tax ma ñaan a gise ak yéen, nu diisoo, ndaxte yaakaaru bànni Israyil moo tax ñu jéng ma.»
21And they said unto him, We neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor did any of the brethren come hither and report or speak any harm of thee.
21 Bi ñu ko déggee, ñu tontu ko: «Jotunu benn bataaxal bu jóge Yude ci sa mbir, te kenn ci bokk, yi fi dikk, jottaliwul mbaa mu seede ci yaw lu bon.
22But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against.
22 Waaye bëgg nanoo dégg li nga gëm, ndaxte xam nanu ne, tariixa booba, kenn jubluwu ko fenn.»
23And when they had appointed him a day, they came to him into his lodging in great number; to whom he expounded [the matter,] testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.
23 Noonu ñu dig ko bés, te ñu bare ñëw, fekksi ko ca néegam. Mu di leen jàngal suba ba ngoon, di leen dëggal lu jëm ci nguuru Yàlla ak ci Yeesu, tukkee ci yoonu Musaa ak ci yonent yi, di leen jéem a gëmloo.
24And some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.
24 Ñenn ñi nag gëm li mu wax, ña ca des weddi ko.
25And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Spirit through Isaiah the prophet unto your fathers,
25 Gannaaw mënuñoo déggoo, ñu bëgg a tas. Waaye bi ñu laata dem, Pool teg ca wax jii: «Xel mu Sell mi wax na dëgg ak seeni maam, jaarale ko ci yonent Yàlla Esayi.
26saying, Go thou unto this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:
26 Nee na:“Demal ci xeet wii ne leen:‘Dingeen déglu bu baaxwaaye dungeen xam dara;di xool bu baax waaye dungeen gis dara.’
27For this people's heart is waxed gross, And their ears are dull of hearing, And their eyes they have closed; Lest, haply they should perceive with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And should turn again, And I should heal them.
27 Ndaxte xolu xeet wii dafa dërkiis;dañuy déglu ak nopp yu naqari,tey gëmm seeni bët,ngir bañ a gis ak seeni bët,dégg ak seeni nopp,te xam ci seen xol,ñu woññiku ci man, ma wéral leen.”
28Be it known therefore unto you, that this salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles: they will also hear.
28 «Xamleen nag ne, xebaaru mucc gii yégal nañu ko ñi dul Yawut, te ñoom dinañu ko déglu.»
29[And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, having much disputing among themselves.]
30 Noonu diirub ñaari at Pool dëkk ca kër gu muy fey, di fa àggali ñépp ñi koy seetsi.
30And he abode two whole years in his own hired dwelling, and received all that went in unto him,
31 Muy yégle nguuru Yàlla, di jàngale ci mbirum Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist ak fit wu dëgër, te kenn terewu ko ko.
31preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, none forbidding him.
