XXVIII.
1 Izaglōbuši mes izzynōjom, ka tei sola saucās Malta. 2 Turīnes idzeivōtōji uzrōdeja mums ļūti lelu ciļvēciskumu. Leita un soltuma dēļ jī, sakyuruši guni, myusus vysus pījēme. 3 Un kad Pōvuls, daudzi sausu zoru pīlasejis, lyka tūs gunī, čyuska, korstuma dzeita, īsakūde jam rūkā. 4 Vītejī īdzeivōtōji, radzūt pi jō rūkas karinejam tōrpu, storp sevim saceja: Šytys cylvāks, bez šaubom, ir slapkova. Nu jyuras gon jys izaglōbe, bet atrībeiba taipat jam dzeivōt naļaun. 5 Jys, nikō ļauna nacīsdams, tōrpu nūkrateja gunī. 6 Ļaudis dūmōja, ka jys aptyukss vai ari pēški nūkriss nadzeivs. Tad jī, iļgi gaideidami, redzēja, ka jam nikas ļauns nanūteik, un nōce pi cytaidas pōrlīceibas dūmōdami, ka jys ir kaids dīvs.
7 Tamā apgobolā solas vacōkajam, vōrdā Publijam, beja īpašums. Jys myusus pījēme un trejs dīnas uzturēja. 8 Un nūtyka, kad Publija tāvs slymōja ar karstīni un ašņa sārgu, Pōvuls, pīgōjis pi jō klōtu, lyudzēs un, uzlicis uz jō rūkas, padareja jū vasalu. 9 Pēc šytō nūtykuma ari pōrejī solas īdzeivōtōji, kas beja slimi, gōja pi jō un palyka vasali.
10 Jī mums taipat izrōdeja gūdbejeibu un izbraucūt apgōdōja ar napīcīšamū.
11 Pēc trejim mēnešim mes aizbraucem tōļōk ar aleksandrīšu kugi, kurs zīmu pōrbeja uz solas un saucēs Dioskurs. 12 Ībraukuši Syrakuzā, mes palykom tur trejs dīnas. 13 Nu turīnes apkōrt ap krostim mes aizbraucem uz Regiju. Un ka nōkūšajā dīnā cēlēs dīnavydu vēji, vīnas dīnas laikā mes aizbraucem leidz Puteoli. 14 Tur mes atrodom brōļus, kuri myusus lyudze palikt pi jim septeņas dīnas. Un tai mes nūklivom Romā. 15 Turīnes brōli, izdzērduši par mums, izgōja myusus satikt leidz Appija Forumam un Tres Taberne. Jūs radzūt, Pōvuls pateice Dīvam un smēle jaunus spākus. 16 Īsarūnūt Romā, Pōvulam atļōve vīna karaveira uzraudzeibā dzeivōt atseviški.
Pōvuls Romā.
17 Pēc trejom dīnom jys īaicynōja pi sevis īvārojamōkūs jūdus. Kad tī beja sagōjuši, jys tim saceja: Veiri, brōli, lai gon es nikō ļauna pret tautu un pret tāvu parašom naizdareju, tūmār Jeruzalemā mani kai cītumnīku nūdeve romīšu rūkōs. 18 Tī pēc nūpratynōšonas gribēja mani palaist vaļā, jo nikaida ar nōvi sūdama nūzīguma nabeja. 19 Bet jūdi tam beja pretim, un tai es beju spīsts atsasaukt uz keizari, bet na tōdēļ, ka sovu tautu apsyudzātu. 20 Šytō dēļ es jyusus aicynōju, lai jyusus radzātu un ar jums parunōtu. Tadei Izraeļa cereibas dēļ šytōs važas es nasu.
21 Tī jam atbiļdēja: Mes gon nu Judeas par tevi vēstules sajāmuši naasam; ari nivīns nu brōlim navā atgōjis, kurs par tevi kaut kū ļaunu paziņōtu vai runōtu. 22 Bet mes tovus īskotus grybātu pazeit tyvōk, jo mums par šytū sektu ir zynoms tik vīn daudz, ka jai vysur uzastōj pretim. 23 Nūteiktā tad dīnā jī kuplā skaitā īsaroda jō dzeivūklī. Jys nu reita leidz vokoram jim runōja līcynōdams par Dīva vaļsteibu, un nu Moizeša lykuma un pravīšim pōrlīcynōdams par Jezu. 24 Daži jō vōrdim īticēja, bet daži naticēja. 25 Navarādami sovstarpeigi sasaprast, jī aizgōja prūjom, seviški, kad Pōvuls izsaceja vīnu teikumu: Par jums labi myusu tāvim pasaceja Svātais Gors caur pravīti Izaju saceidams:
26 Ej pi šytōs tautas un jai pasoki:
Dzērdēt dzērdēsit, bet nasaprassit,
redzēt redzēsit, bet naīraudzeisit.
27 Šōs tautas sirds ir aizcītynōta,
jūs auss ir pus kūrlas,
jūs acis aizvārtas,
ka ar acim naīraudzeitu,
ar ausim nadzērdātu,
ar sirdi nasaprostu un naatsagrīztu,
ka Es jūs naizpesteitu.
28 Tai tad lai jums ir zynoms, ka Dīva pesteišona tiks nasta pogōnim un jī klauseis. 29 (Pēc šitim vōrdim jūdi, korsti streidādamīs, aizgōja prūjom)
30 Sovā nūīrātajā dzeivūklī jys uzaturēja vasali divi godi un vysus, kas pi jō nōce, pījēme. 31 Bez kaidim traucējumim jys drūšsirdeigi sludynōja Dīva vaļsteibu un mōceibu par Kungu Jezu Kristu.
In Malta
1 When we were safely ashore, we learned that the island was called Malta. 2 The natives there were very friendly to us. It had started to rain and was cold, so they built a fire and made us all welcome. 3 Paul gathered up a bundle of sticks and was putting them on the fire when a snake came out on account of the heat and fastened itself to his hand. 4 The natives saw the snake hanging on Paul's hand and said to one another, “This man must be a murderer, but Fate will not let him live, even though he escaped from the sea.” 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire without being harmed at all. 6 They were waiting for him to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after waiting for a long time and not seeing anything unusual happening to him, they changed their minds and said, “He is a god!”
7 Not far from that place were some fields that belonged to Publius, the chief of the island. He welcomed us kindly and for three days we were his guests. 8 Publius' father was in bed, sick with fever and dysentery. Paul went into his room, prayed, placed his hands on him, and healed him. 9 When this happened, all the other sick people on the island came and were healed. 10 They gave us many gifts, and when we sailed, they put on board what we needed for the voyage.
From Malta to Rome
11 After three months we sailed away on a ship from Alexandria, called “The Twin Gods,” which had spent the winter in the island. 12 We arrived in the city of Syracuse and stayed there for three days. 13 From there we sailed on and arrived in the city of Rhegium. The next day a wind began to blow from the south, and in two days we came to the town of Puteoli. 14 We found some believers there who asked us to stay with them a week. And so we came to Rome. 15 The believers in Rome heard about us and came as far as the towns of Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and was greatly encouraged.
In Rome
16 When we arrived in Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself with a soldier guarding him.
17 After three days Paul called the local Jewish leaders to a meeting. When they had gathered, he said to them, “My fellow Israelites, even though I did nothing against our people or the customs that we received from our ancestors, I was made a prisoner in Jerusalem and handed over to the Romans. 18 After questioning me, the Romans wanted to release me, because they found that I had done nothing for which I deserved to die. 19 But when the Jews opposed this, I was forced to appeal to the Emperor, even though I had no accusation to make against my own people. 20 That is why I asked to see you and talk with you. As a matter of fact, I am bound in chains like this for the sake of him for whom the people of Israel hope.”
21 They said to him, “We have not received any letters from Judea about you, nor have any of our people come from there with any news or anything bad to say about you. 22 But we would like to hear your ideas, because we know that everywhere people speak against this party to which you belong.”
23 So they set a date with Paul, and a large number of them came that day to the place where Paul was staying. From morning till night he explained to them his message about the Kingdom of God, and he tried to convince them about Jesus by quoting from the Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets. 24 Some of them were convinced by his words, but others would not believe. 25 So they left, disagreeing among themselves, after Paul had said this one thing: “How well the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors! 26 For he said,
‘Go and say to this people:
You will listen and listen, but not understand;
you will look and look, but not see,
27 because this people's minds are dull,
and they have stopped up their ears
and closed their eyes.
Otherwise, their eyes would see,
their ears would hear,
their minds would understand,
and they would turn to me, says God,
and I would heal them.’”
28 And Paul concluded: “You are to know, then, that God's message of salvation has been sent to the Gentiles. They will listen!”
30 For two years Paul lived in a place he rented for himself, and there he welcomed all who came to see him. 31 He preached about the Kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ, speaking with all boldness and freedom.
