¹Kana skepisailiam, ashundiam ke kodia izula busholas Malta.

¹And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,

²O narodo kai sas pe kodia izula sas defial lashe amensa, breshind delas, ai defial shil sas, kerde ek bari iag, ai savorhe akhardia ame te beshas lensa.

²and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;

³O Pavlo chidia but krenzhetsi te shudelpe iag, numa ek sap anklisto avri andal krenzhetsi ke pala tachimos, ai huluisailo pe lesko vas.

³but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper — out of the heat having come — did fasten on his hand.

⁴Kana o narodo kodola izulako dikhle o sap kai sas huluime pel Pavlosko vas, denas pe duma won de won, ai mothonas, "Kako manush si kai mudarel, ke o chacho zakono le Devlesko chi mekel les te traiil, marka ke skepisailo andai maria."

⁴And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said unto one another, `Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not suffer to live;`

⁵Numa o Pavlo shudia le sapes ande iag, ai nas vov si dukhado.

⁵he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,

⁶Kado narodo azhukerelas te shuvliol, vai te merel strazo, numa azhukerde but te dikhen so kerdiol leske, ai dikhle ke chi kerdilia leske chi iek baio, ai parhude penge ginduria karing leste ai phende, "Kako manush si ek del!"

⁶and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.

⁷Kotsar pashe sas ek phuv kai sas ieke manusheski, ai wo sas baro pe kodia izula kai busholas Publius, kodo manush akhardia ame peste lashimasa, ai meklia ame te beshas leste trin dies.

⁷And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, three days did courteously lodge [us];

⁸O dat kodole manushesko ando than sas, ai baro zharo sas pe leste, ai leski ji sas defial naswali. O Pavlo gelo leste, thodia le vas pe leste, ai rhugisardia leske, ai sastiardia les.

⁸and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;

⁹Pala kodia le kolaver naswale kai sas pe izula avile ka Pavlo ai vi won sastile.

⁹this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;

¹⁰Ai lazhanas amendar, ai chetainas amen, ai kana avili e vriama te zhastar, dine ame so godi trobulas ame te zhas.

¹⁰who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.

¹¹Kana nakhle trin shon liam ek paraxodo kai si andai Alexander, kodo paraxodo busholas 'Le dui zhamea dela' (Castor ai Pollux), kai nakhlo sas o ivend ande izula.

¹¹And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,

¹²Aresliam andek foro kai bushol Syraceuse, ai kotse beshliam trin dies.

¹²and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,

¹³Ai kotsar geliam kodole dromesa te aresas ando Rhegium. Pe terharin e barval kai avelas anda sauto phurdelas, ai ande dui dies aresliam ando Puteoli.

¹³thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli;

¹⁴Ande kodo foro arakhliam phralen, kai mangel amendar te beshas lensa iek kurko. Ai geliam ande Rome.

¹⁴where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;

¹⁵Kana le phral kai sas ande Rome ashunde kai aviliamas won avile zhi ka bazari kai bushol Appius Forum ai le trin kafanavi te dikhen ame. O Pavlo kana dikhlia le, naisisardia le Devles, ai mishto sas leske.

¹⁵and thence, the brethren having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and Three Taverns — whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.

¹⁶Kana aresliam ande Rome, o baro ketano angerdia le manush kai sas phandade ka o baro le Romanongo, numa meklia le Paulos te beshel korkorho ieka ketanasa te arakhel les.

¹⁶And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.

¹⁷Trin dies pala kodia o Pavlo akhardia peste le bare le Zhidovonge kai sas ande Rome. Kana chidinisaile, wo phendia lenge, "Manushale, Murhe phral! Ivia ke chi kerdem kanch amare narodoske, ai chi rimosardem o zakono amare dadengo, aterdiarde ma ande Jerusalem, ai dine ma kal Romanuria.

¹⁷And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said unto them: `Men, brethren, I — having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers — a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the hands of the Romans;

¹⁸Numa le Romanuria phushle ma, ai mangenas te meken ma, ke chi arakhle kasavestar baio pe mande te mudaren ma.

¹⁸who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,

¹⁹Numa savon mangenas te mudaren ma, le Zhiduvuria; ai antunchi musai sas mange te akharav le amperatos o Caesar, ai chi tradem chi iek chorhi viasta pa kodo narodo.

¹⁹and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;

²⁰Eta, Sostar manglem te dikhav tumen, ai te dav tumensa duma; ke te si kako lantso pe mande ke pala kuko kai le Zhiduvuria pachanpe ande leste."

²⁰for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this chain I am bound.`

²¹Ai won mothon leske, "Chi aviliam amende chi iek lil andai Judea pa tute, chi avilo chi iek phral te anel vai te mothol nasulimos pa tute.

²¹And they said unto him, `We did neither receive letters concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee,

²²Numa ame mangliamas te zhanas tutar, so gindis, ke ame zhanas ke kadia buchi kai tu keres, o narodo chi mangel."

²²and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that everywhere it is spoken against;`

²³Line penge iek dies te den duma le Pavlos, ai kodo dies avile mai but leste kotse kai beshelas o Pavlo. De diminiatsi zhi ande riat o Pavlo motholas lenge ai sicharelas le pa rhaio le Devlesko, ai mangelas te anel le te pachanpe ando Jesus, ai motholas lenge pa zakono le Mosesosko, ai pal klishki le profetonge.

²³and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning till evening,

²⁴Uni pachaiepe pa so motholas lenge, ai le kolaver chi mangenas te pachanpe.

²⁴and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.

²⁵Zhanastar, ai nashtinas te malaven pala iek kavreste, ai o Pavlo phendia lenge, "O Swunto Duxo vorta motholas kana divinilas tumare dadensa anda mui le profetosko o Isaiah!

²⁵And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word — `Well did the Holy Spirit speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers,

²⁶Isaiah motholas, Zha karing kado narodo, ai mothol leske; "Ashunena mishto, numa chi haliaren; dikhena mishto, numa chi dikhena."

²⁶saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive,

²⁷Ke e goji kadale narodosko chi mai haliarel, ai phandade penge khan, phandade penge iakha, saxke te na dikhen penge iakhensa. Ai te na ashunen penge khanensa, ai lenge goji chi haliarel kanch, ai te na boldenpe karing mande, ai te sastiarav le, mothol O Del.

²⁷for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand, and be turned back, and I may heal them.

²⁸"Me mangav tume te zhanen e viasta le skepimaski kai si katar O Del, sas tradini ka kodola kai Nai Zhiduvuria, ai won ashunen ka kodia viasta."

²⁸`Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;`

²⁹Kana o Pavlo phendia kodo divano le Zhiduvuria geletar, ai denas pe duma won de won.

²⁹and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;

³⁰Ai o Pavlo beshlo dui bersh antrego ando kher kai pochinelas swako shon, mekelas te aven leste sa kodola kai avenas te dikhen les.

³⁰and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,

³¹Motholas pa rhaio le Devlesko, ai sicharelas pa Del Jesus Kristo, sa peske ilesa, ai chi aterdiarelas les khonik te kerel peske buchi le Devleski.

³¹preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
