1 Bi nu rëccee, nu yég ne dun baa nga tudd Màlt.
1And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Melita,
2 Te waa réew ma won nu laabiir gu ràññiku, ndaxte taalal nañu nu safara, ganale nu ndax taw bi sóob ak sedd bi.
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;
3 Pool nag di for matt, di ko def ca taal ba, jaan ne ca mëlle ndax tàngoor wa, taq ci loxoom.
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.
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.»
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;`
5 Waaye Pool yëlëb rab wa ca safara sa, te wàññiwu ko dara.
5he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
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.»
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.
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.
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];
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.
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;
9 Ci kaw loolu jarag ya ca des ca dun ba daldi dikk, amaat wér-gi-yaram.
9this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed;
10 Ñu teral nu ci fànn yu bare, te bi nuy dem, ñu jox nu li nuy soxla lépp.
10who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting sail — they were lading [us] with the things that were necessary.
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.
11And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
12 Noonu nu teer dëkku Sirakus, toog fa ñetti fan.
12and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
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.
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;
14 Gis nanu fa ay bokk, ñu ñaan nu, nu toog fa ayu-bés. Noonu nu dem Room.
14where, having found brethren, we were called upon to remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came;
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.
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.
16 Bi nu dikkee Room nag, ñu may Pool, mu dëkk fa ko lew, moom ak xarekat ba koy wottu.
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.
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.
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;
18 Waa Room nag seet sama mbir, te bëgg maa bàyyi, ndaxte toppuñu ma dara lu jar dee.
18who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
19 Waaye bi ko Yawut ya bañee, fas yéene naa dénk sama mbir Sesaar, fekk ba tey awma dara lu may taqal sama xeet.
19and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar — not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
20 Moo tax ma ñaan a gise ak yéen, nu diisoo, ndaxte yaakaaru bànni Israyil moo tax ñu jéng ma.»
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.`
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.
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,
22 Waaye bëgg nanoo dégg li nga gëm, ndaxte xam nanu ne, tariixa booba, kenn jubluwu ko fenn.»
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;`
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.
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,
24 Ñenn ñi nag gëm li mu wax, ña ca des weddi ko.
24and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
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.
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,
26 Nee na:“Demal ci xeet wii ne leen:‘Dingeen déglu bu baaxwaaye dungeen xam dara;di xool bu baax waaye dungeen gis dara.’
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,
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.”
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 «Xamleen nag ne, xebaaru mucc gii yégal nañu ko ñi dul Yawut, te ñoom dinañu ko déglu.»
28`Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;`
30 Noonu diirub ñaari at Pool dëkk ca kër gu muy fey, di fa àggali ñépp ñi koy seetsi.
29and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much disputation among themselves;
31 Muy yégle nguuru Yàlla, di jàngale ci mbirum Boroom bi Yeesu Kirist ak fit wu dëgër, te kenn terewu ko ko.
30and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him,
31preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness — unforbidden.
