Paulo mu Melita
1Bwe twamala okuwona, memale twamanha nga ekizinga ekyo kyetebwa Melita. 2Abataka ab’oku kizinga baatulaga ekisa ekitaloodheka. Baatusangaalira twenatwena baatukumira omuliro, kuba amaadhi gaali gatooleire okugwa era nga n’obwire bwa kiinhogogo. 3Aye Paulo bwe yagherera omuganda gw’obuku n’abuta mu muliro, omusota ogw’obusagwa gwava mu buku obwo olw’olwota, gwamweriipa ku mukono. 4Abataka bwe baabona ng’omusota gulengeedhera ku mukono gwe baakoba bati: “Bwenebwene omuntu ono mwisi. Waire awonie enhandha Omusango gumunonereiza.” 5Aye Paulo yaakunkumulira omusota mu muliro era yaaloba kubaaku kabi koonakoona. 6Baali badhuuba nga anaazimba oba ng’aidha kugwa agho afiiregho. Aye bwe baalinda ekiseera ni batabona kabi koonakoona kamubaireku, baakyusa baakoba bati: “Guno musambwa.”
7Okumpi n’ekifo ekyo, ghaaligho ebibandha by’omusaadha omwami w’ekizinga ekyo, ng’eriina lye ni Pubulio, eyatusangaaza era n’atulabirira obukalamu okumala enaku isatu. 8Agho ise wa Pubulio yaalwala omusuudha n’ekighaluko eky’omusaayi. Paulo yaaja y’ali, yaamusabira. Bwe yamwisaaku emikono, yaamuwonia. 9Kino bwe kyakolebwa, abantu abandi abalwaire abaali ku kizinga ekyo, boona baasomboka baawonezebwa. 10Baatugha ebirabo kamaala era bwe twatuusa ekiseera okuvaayo baatugha byonabyona ebyali byetaagisa mu lugendo.
Paulo atuuka e Roma
11Nga ghabiseegho emyezi esatu, twaniina eryato ery’e Alekisanderia eryaliku ekifaananie eky’Abalongo. Eryato lino lyali limaze ebiseera eby’ekiinhogogo ku kizinga ekyo. 12Twatuuka mu Surakusa, twamalayo enaku isatu. 13Twavaayo, twezungulula twatuuka e Reegio. Nga ghabiseegho olunaku lulala, empewo eva ku bukiika lw’omukono omusaadha ng’olingiriire e buvandhuba, yaasituka era ku lunaku olwairirira twatuuka e Puteoli. 14Eyo twayagaanayo aboluganda era baatusaba tumale nabo enaku musanvu. Olumaliira twatuuka e Roma. 15Aboluganda ab’omu Roma bwe baamanha baidha ku katale ka Appio ni ku Bisulo Ebisatu, okutusangaalira. Paulo bwe yababona yeebaza Katonda, yaaguma omwoyo.
16Bwe twatuuka mu Roma, yaikirizibwa okuba yenka, ng’ali n’omwisirukale amukuuma.
17Agho, nga ghabiseegho enaku isatu, Paulo yaayeta abakulu ab’Abayudaaya ab’omu Roma. Bwe baamala okwesoloza yaabakoba ati: “Aboluganda, waire nga nze nzira kibi kye nakola bantu oba okusobya empisa dha badhaadha baife, nasibibwa naagheebwayo mu mikono egy’Abaroma mu Yerusalemu. 18Bwe bampozesa, baayenda okundekula kuba baabona nga tikolanga kintu kyonakyona ekingwaniza okwitibwa. 19Aye Abayudaaya bwe baaloba, naakakibwa okudhulira Kaisari, waire tyali ni kye nvunaana ighanga lyange.28:19: Bik 25:11 20Kyenviire ni mbeeta, mbabone era ndhogereku n’imwe, kuba nsibiibwa n’oludhegere luno, olw’oyo abantu ba Isiraeli ye basuubira.”
21Baamwiramu bati: “Titufunanga mbaluwa dhiva Buyudaaya edhikwogeraku era ghazira waire owoluganda eyaidha okutukobera oba okwogera ekibi ku iwe. 22Aye twandyenze okumanha iwe ky’odhuuba ku kikunsu ekyo, kuba twidhi nga kiisi ghantu woonawoona, bakitakania.”
23Baamulaga olunaku era ku olwo baidha kamaala mu ndhu mwe yasulanga. Era okuva enkyo okutuusa eigulo yaabainhonholanga era ng’abakobera eby’Obwakyabazinga bwa Katonda. Yaafubanga okubaikirizisa Yesu nga adhuliza eby’omu Mateeka ga Musa n’ebyaghandiikibwa abalanzi. 24Abandi baikiriza olw’ebyo bye yayogera aye abandi baaloba kwikiriza. 25Bwe bataisania beene na beene, baagolola nga Paulo amaze okubakoba ekibono kino ati: “Mwoyo Mutukuvu yali mutuufu bwe yakoba badhaadha baimwe ng’abita mu mulanzi Isaia, eyakoba ati,
2628:26-27: Isa 6:9-10 Ja y’abantu bano obakobe oti:
‘Bwenebwene muliwulira, aye timulitegeera.
Bwenebwene mulibona, aye nga timubona.
27Kuba emyoyo gy’abantu bano gikalangwike
n’amatu gaibwe bagasembye,
n’amaiso gaibwe bagazibye,
balobe okubona n’amaiso gaibwe
okuwulira n’amatu gaibwe
era okutegeera n’emyoyo gyaibwe,
era n’okukyuka ni mbawonia.’ ”
28“Kale mukimanhe ng’obulokozi bwa Katonda buno bugheerezeibwa mu b’amaghanga agandi. Abo baliwulirisa.” [ 29Paulo bwe yamala okwogera kino Abayudaaya baagolola nga batakana inho beene na beene.]
30Paulo yaamala emyaka emiramba ebiri ng’ali mu ndhu ye yapangisa yaasangaaliranga boonaboona abaidhanga y’ali. 31Yaabakoberanga eby’Obwakyabazinga bwa Katonda era yaabeegeresanga ebigema ku Musengwa Yesu Kurisito nga ghazira amulobera.
