¹When we had escaped, then they NU reads “we” learned that the island was called Malta.

¹ Saaya kaŋ cine iri du ka fatta, gaa no iri du ka bay kaŋ gungo maa ga ti Malita.

²The natives showed us uncommon kindness; for they kindled a fire, and received us all, because of the present rain, 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.

³But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on 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.

⁴When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said one to another, “No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped from the sea, yet Justice 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.»

⁵However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed.

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 dead suddenly, but when they watched for a long time and saw nothing bad happen to him, they changed their minds, and said that 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 neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the chief man of the island, named Publius, who received us, and courteously entertained us for three days.

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.

⁸It happened that the father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed 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.

⁹Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured.

⁹ Waato kaŋ woodin te mo, gungo ra boro cindey kulu kaŋ yaŋ sinda baani goono ga kaa, i du baani mo.

¹⁰They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed.

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.

¹¹After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was “The Twin Brothers.”

¹¹ Handu hinza banda no iri tun Iskandariya hi fo ra, kaŋ jaw noodin gungo ra, kaŋ a seeda ga ti Tawey himandi.

¹²Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days.

¹² Iri zumbu Sirakusa ka te jirbi hinza noodin.

¹³From there we circled around and arrived at Rhegium. After one day, a south wind sprang up, and 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 we found brothers, The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came 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.

¹⁵From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns. When Paul saw them, 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.

¹⁶When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.

¹⁶ Waato kaŋ iri furo Roma, i yadda Bulos se a ma goro nga nda sooja kaŋ goono g'a batu din hinne.

¹⁷It happened that after three days Paul called together those who were the leaders of the Jews. When they had come together, he said to them, “I, brothers, though I had done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, still was delivered 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, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause 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 when the Jews spoke against it, I was constrained to appeal to Caesar, not that I had anything about which to accuse my nation.

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 asked to see you and to speak with you. For because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”

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.»

²¹They said to him, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.

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 desire to hear from you what you think. For, as concerning this sect, it is known to us that everywhere it is 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.»

²³When they had appointed him a day, many people came to him at his lodging. He explained to them, testifying about the Kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning until 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.

²⁴Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved.

²⁴ Boro fooyaŋ na wo kaŋ a ci din daahirandi, boro fooyaŋ mo man'a cimandi.

²⁵When they didn’t agree among themselves, they departed after Paul had spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly through Isaiah, 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, in hearing, you will hear, but will in no way understand. In seeing, you will see, but will in no way 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 this people’s heart has grown callous. Their ears are dull of hearing. Their eyes they have closed. Lest they should see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’ Isaiah 6:9-10

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.›

²⁸“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.”

²⁸ Araŋ ma bay kaŋ Irikoy faaba wo, a n'a donton hala ka koy dumi cindey se, ngey mo ga maa r'a.»

²⁹When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves.

²⁹ Waato kaŋ a na sanney din ci, Yahudancey dira, i goono ga kakaw boobo te ngey nda care game ra.

³⁰Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming 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 boldness, without hindrance.

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.
