1And when we got safe [to land] we then knew that the island was called Melita.
1 Saaya kaŋ cine iri du ka fatta, gaa no iri du ka bay kaŋ gungo maa ga ti Malita.
2But the barbarians shewed us no common kindness; for, having kindled a fire, they took us all in because of the rain that was falling and because of the cold.
2 Noodin borey mo n'iri cabe gomni, hala gomni kulu dumi. Zama i na danji funsu k'iri kulu kubayni, zama beene hari goono ga kaŋ, yeeni mo go no.
3And Paul having gathered a [certain] quantity of sticks together in a bundle and laid [it] on the fire, a viper coming out from the heat seized his hand.
3 Waato kaŋ Bulos koy mo ka tuuri ganday fo ku ka daŋ danjo ra, wiiza, gondi go tuuro ra. Danjo konno n'a kaa taray, nga mo na Bulos kambe di.
4And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, This man is certainly a murderer, whom, [though] saved out of the sea, Nemesis has not allowed to live.
4 Waato kaŋ noodin borey di gondi laalo wo go ga sarku Bulos kamba gaa, i ne ngey nda care se: «Sikka si boro wo boro-wi no. Baa day kaŋ a du ka teeko hasarawo yana, asariya man'a taŋ. Alhakko go a banda, a ga bu mo.»
5*He* however, having shaken off the beast into the fire, felt no harm.
5 Amma Bulos na gondo misile k'a furu danjo ra, hay kulu mana du a mo.
6But *they* expected that he would have swollen or fallen down suddenly dead. But when they had expected a long time and saw nothing unusual happen to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.
6 Ngey wo goono ga tammahã a ga fuusu, wala mo Bulos ma gaaru ka kaŋ sahãadin ka bu. Amma kaŋ i gay i mana di haŋ kaŋ du a, i bare ka ne kaŋ irikoy fo no.
7Now in the country surrounding that place were the lands belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius, who received us and gave [us] hospitality three days in a very friendly way.
7 Noodin jarga gonda fari nda fu yaŋ, gungo dabarikwa kaŋ maa Bubliyos wane yaŋ no. A n'iri kubayni, k'iri zumandi nga do kala jirbi hinza k'iri cabe beeray.
8And it happened that the father of Publius lay ill of fever and dysentery; to whom Paul entered in, and having prayed and laid his hands on him cured him.
8 Wiiza, Bubliyos baaba goono ga kani, konni da gunde kar goono g'a taabandi. Kaŋ Bulos kaa a do ka te adduwa, a na nga kambe dake jantekomo boŋ k'a no baani.
9But this having taken place, the rest also who had sicknesses in the island came and were healed:
9 Waato kaŋ woodin te mo, gungo ra boro cindey kulu kaŋ yaŋ sinda baani goono ga kaa, i du baani mo.
10who also honoured us with many honours, and on our leaving they made presents to us of what should minister to our wants.
10 I n'iri beerandi mo da beeray kulu cine. Waati kaŋ iri tun ka dira hari hi ra koyne, i soobay ka margu iri se hay kulu kaŋ iri ga laami.
11And after three months we sailed in a ship which had wintered in the island, an Alexandrian, with [the] Dioscuri for its ensign.
11 Handu hinza banda no iri tun Iskandariya hi fo ra, kaŋ jaw noodin gungo ra, kaŋ a seeda ga ti Tawey himandi.
12And having come to Syracuse we remained three days.
12 Iri zumbu Sirakusa ka te jirbi hinza noodin.
13Whence, going in a circuitous course, we arrived at Rhegium; and after one day, the wind having changed to south, on the second day we came to Puteoli,
13 Iri tun noodin ka windi ka kaa Regiyum. A suba mo kala dandi kambe hawo tun. Zaari hinkanta mo iri kaa Buteyoli.
14where, having found brethren, we were begged to stay with them seven days. And thus we went to Rome.
14 Noodin iri na nya-ize fooyaŋ gar, i n'iri ŋwaaray iri ma goro ngey do jirbi iyye. Yaadin gaa no iri to Roma.
15And thence the brethren, having heard about us, came to meet us as far as Appii Forum and Tres Tabernae, whom when Paul saw, he thanked God and took courage.
15 Noodin mo, waato kaŋ nya-izey maa iri baaro, i tun ngey m'iri kubay. I kaa hal Abiya Habu da Yaw-Fu-Hinza. Kaŋ Bulos di borey din, a na Irikoy saabu, a du bine-gaabi mo.
16And when we came to Rome, [the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the praetorian prefect, but] Paul was allowed to remain by himself with the soldier who kept him.
16 Waato kaŋ iri furo Roma, i yadda Bulos se a ma goro nga nda sooja kaŋ goono g'a batu din hinne.
17And it came to pass after three days, that he called together those who were the chief of the Jews; and when they had come together he said to them, Brethren, *I* having done nothing against the people or the customs of our forefathers, have been delivered a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans,
17 A jirbi hinzanta banda, Bulos na Yahudancey jine borey ce. Waato kaŋ i margu mo, a ne i se: «Nya-izey, baa day kaŋ ay mana hay fo te iri dumo wala iri alaadey gaa, kulu nda yaadin i n'ay daŋ hawante Urusalima kwaara Romancey kambe ra.
18who having examined me were minded to let me go, because there was nothing worthy of death in me.
18 Ngey mo, waato kaŋ i n'ay gosi, i goono ga miila ngey m'ay taŋ zama ay mana taali fo te kaŋ to buuyaŋ.
19But the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation of.
19 Amma waato kaŋ Yahudancey wangu ka yadda nda woodin, kal a tilas ay gaa ya konda ay ŋwaarayyaŋo Kaysar do, i ma ciiti ay se neewo a jine. Manti hala zama ay gonda kalima fo ay dumo boŋ no bo.
20For this cause therefore I have called you to [me] to see and to speak to you; for on account of the hope of Israel I have this chain about me.
20 Woodin se no ay n'araŋ ce ka du ka di araŋ, ka salaŋ araŋ se mo. Zama Israyla beeja sabbay se no i n'ay haw da sisiro wo.»
21And they said to him, For our part, we have neither received letters from Judaea concerning thee, nor has any one of the brethren who has arrived reported or said anything evil concerning thee.
21 I ne a se: «Iri mana du tira ni boŋ kaŋ fun Yahudiya. Nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ kaa ra mo, boro kulu mana ni baaru ci iri se, wala a ma hay fo laalo ci iri se ni boŋ.
22But we beg to hear of thee what thou thinkest, for as concerning this sect it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
22 Amma iri ga ba iri ma maa ni do haŋ kaŋ ni di. Zama fondo wo ciine ra, iri ga bay kaŋ nangu kulu i g'a jance.»
23And having appointed him a day many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded, testifying of the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and the prophets, from early morning to evening.
23 Waato kaŋ hano kaŋ i kosu a se to, boro boobo kaa a do, nango kaŋ a go da goray. A goono g'i fahamandi ka Irikoy koytara baaro seeda i se, a goono g'i candi Yesu ciine boŋ Musa Tawreto ra, da Annabey Tirey ra mo, za susubay kala wiciri kambo.
24And some were persuaded of the things which were said, but some disbelieved.
24 Boro fooyaŋ na wo kaŋ a ci din daahirandi, boro fooyaŋ mo man'a cimandi.
25And being disagreed among themselves they left; Paul having spoken one word, Well spoke the Holy Spirit through Esaias the prophet to our fathers,
25 Kaŋ i mana wafaku nda care, i sintin ka dira, saaya kaŋ cine Bulos na sanni fo ci i se banda, kaŋ a ne: «Biya Hanna gonda cimi kaŋ a salaŋ annabi Isaya me ra araŋ kaayey se ka ne:
26saying, Go to this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear and not understand, and seeing ye shall see and not perceive.
26 ‹Ma koy dumo wo do ka ne: Maayaŋ ra, araŋ ga maa, amma araŋ si faham baa kayna. Gunayaŋ ra mo, araŋ ga di amma araŋ si fayanka baa kayna.
27For the heart of this people has become fat, and they hear heavily with their ears, and they have closed their eyes; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
27 Zama dumo wo bina te tijina, i na ngey hangey sandandi, I na ngey moy daabu mo. Da manti yaadin no i ga di da ngey moy, i ga maa nda ngey hangey, i ga faham mo da ngey biney ka ye ka bare ay do, hal ay m'i no baani.›
28Be it known to you therefore, that this salvation of God has been sent to the nations; *they* also will hear [it].
28 Araŋ ma bay kaŋ Irikoy faaba wo, a n'a donton hala ka koy dumi cindey se, ngey mo ga maa r'a.»
29[And he having said this, the Jews went away, having great reasoning among themselves.]
29 Waato kaŋ a na sanney din ci, Yahudancey dira, i goono ga kakaw boobo te ngey nda care game ra.
30And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging, and received all who came to him,
30 Bulos goro nga sufuray fuwo ra kal a na jiiri hinka toonandi. A goono ga borey kulu kubayni kaŋ yaŋ ga kaa a do.
31preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ, with all freedom unhinderedly.
31 A goono ga Irikoy koytara baaro waazu ka Rabbi Yesu Almasihu hayey dondonandi nda bine-gaabi kulu, boro kulu siino g'a ganji mo.
