MuMalta
1 Ano sho twa thiki nawa komunkulo, otu uvu kutya edhina lyontuntu ndjiyaka oMalta. 2 Aakali yokontuntu oye tu taamba nuukuume uunene. Oyo oya tema omulilo noye tu ithana, tu ka huhulukwe, oshoka omvula oya li tayi loko nokwa li ku na uutalala. 3 Nena Paulus okwa tyaya oshihampi shiikuni nomanga a li te yi tula peziko, eyoka olya zi miikuni omoluupyu womulilo e tali mu kanyatele koshikaha. 4 Aantu yokontuntu sho ya mono eyoka lye endjelela koshikaha shaPaulus, oya lombwelathana ya ti: “Omulumentu nguno oye omudhipagi, oshoka nando a hupithwa mefuta, Kalunga kuuyuuki ina pitika, a kale e na omwenyo.” 5 Ihe Paulus okwa pupulile eyoka meziko ye ina mona nando oshiponga shasha. 6 Oyo oya li ya tegelela, Paulus a zinde nenge i ihate pevi e ta si. Ihe sho ya tegelele ethimbo ele noya dhimbulula kutya Paulus oku li nawa kee na nando oshiponga shasha, oya lundulula omadhiladhilo gawo noya ti: “Oye kalunga!”
7 Popepi neha ndyoka opwa li pu na omapya gomukuluntu gwontuntu Publius. Oye okwe tu taamba nombili e tatu menekele puye uule womasiku gatatu. 8 He yaPublius okwa li ta alukwa e na olwiidhi noshimela shombinzi. Nena Paulus okwa yi mondunda ye, a galikana, e te mu tenteke iikaha nokwe mu aludha. 9 Ano omolwoshiningwanima shika aavu yalwe ooyakwawo yokontuntu oye ya kuPaulus, oye nokwe ya aludha. 10 Oyo oye tu pe omagano ogendji, naasho twa yi mosikepa, oye tu pe oompumbwe dhomondjila.
Okuza muMalta nokuya kuRoma
11 Oomwedhi ndatu sho dha piti po, otwa yi mosikepa yokuAleksandria hayi ithanwa “Ookalunga aakwanambwiyu”, ndjoka ya kala montuntu ndjika okufu akuhe. 12 Otse otwa thiki koshilando shaSirakusa notwa kala mo omasiku gatatu. 13 Okuza mpoka otwa yi nosikepa notwa thiki kuRegio. Esiku lya landula ombepo oya tameke okupepa tayi zi kuumbugantu noye tu thikitha momasiku gaali koshilandotulilo Puteoli. 14 Otwa adha mo ooitaali yamwe noye tu pula, tu kale puyo uule woshiwike shimwe. Opo ihe otwa thikama, tu ye kuRoma. 15 Ooitaali ooyakwetu yomuRoma oyu uvu kutya otu li mondjila, onkee oye ya oku tu tsakaneka opOshilandelo shaAppius nopOondjendingulu ndatu. Paulus sho e ya mono, okwa hambelele Kalunga nokwa tsuwa omukumo.
MuRoma
16 Ano sho twa thiki muRoma, Paulus okwa pitikilwa okwiikalela e na omukwiita te mu tonatele.
17 Omasiku gatatu sho ga piti po, Paulus okwi ithana aakuluntu yAajuda koshigongi. Sho ya gongala, okwe ya lombwele ta ti: “Aamwameme! Ngame nando inandi yona sha koshigwana shetu nenge koompango ndhoka twe dhi thigulula kootate, aantu yomuJerusalem oya gandja ndje miikaha yAaroma. 18 Aaroma oya pulapula ndje noya li ya hala okumangulula ndje, oshoka oya mono kutya inandi ninga nando osha sha gwana okudhipagitha ndje. 19 Ihe Aajuda sho ya tamaneke oshinima shika, onda thiminikwa okwiigameka komupangeli Omuroma, nonando kandi na sha shokutamanana naantu yoshigwana shaandjetu. 20 Onkee ano ondi indile, ndi mu mone, tse tu popyeni, oshoka ngame ondi li momalyenge ngaka omolwaangoka a tegelelwa koshigwana shAaisraeli.”
21 Nena Aajuda oye mu lombwele ya ti: “Tse inatu mona nando oontumwafo dhasha dha za kuJudea tadhi ku popi. Osho wo kape na nando ogumwe gwomooyakwetu mboka ya zi hwiyaka a popi nenge a hokolola sha oshiwinayi kombinga yoye. 22 Ihe tse otwa hala okuuva omadhiladhilo goye, oshoka otwa ndhindhilika kutya akuhe aantu otaa popi nokutamaneka ongundu yeni.”
23 Onkee ano oyu uvathana esiku lyokutsakanena ishewe naPaulus, nomesiku ndyoka ongundu onene yaantu yi vule ndjiyaka yotango, oye ya kehala hoka kwa li Paulus. Okuza ongula sigo ongulohi Paulus okwe ya fatululile nokwe ya hokololele Oshilongo shaKalunga. Oye okwa totha mo omatumbulo mompango yaMoses nomiinyolwa yaahunganeki, e ya tompo, yi itaale Jesus. 24 Yamwe yomuyo oya tompwa koohapu dhe, ooyakwawo oya li inaa hala okwiitaala. 25 Osho ngeyi oya zi po puye yaa uvitathane. Paulus okwe ya lombwele owala a ti: “Nani Ombepo Ondjapuki okwa popitha omuhunganeki Jesaja oohapu dha tsa, sho a lombwele oohokulu 26 a ti:
‘Inda, u ka lombwele aantu yoshigwana shika, u tye:
One otamu ka kala nokupulakena, ihe itamu uvu ko.
Otamu ka kala nokutala, ihe itamu mono ko.
27 Oshoka omadhiladhilo gaantu yoshigwana shika oga simpa,
omakutsi gawo oye ga thitika.
Nomeho gawo oga thithikila.
Oshoka ando hasho,
ando omeho gawo otaga mono ko,
omakutsi gawo otaga uvu ko,
nomadhiladhilo gawo ando otaga pyokoka,
ando otaa itedhulula e taa galukile kungame.
Ongame notandi ya aludha.’ ”
28 Hugunina Paulus okwa ti: “Ano kaleni mu shi shi kutya elaka lyaKalunga lyehupitho olya tuminwa kaapagani; oyo notaye ke li uva ko.” 29 [Paulus sho a popi oohapu ndhika, Aajuda oye mu thigi po noya yi nomaludhi omanene mokati kawo.]
30 Paulus okwa kala megumbo e li thithwa nohe li futile uule woomvula mbali nokwa kundathana naayehe mboka ye ya oku mu talela po. 31 Nuulaadhi uunene oye oku uvithile aantu Oshilongo shaKalunga nokwe ya hokololele Omuwa Jesus Kristus, ye ina keelelwa nando okomuntu.

16 Tji twa vaza mOroma, Paulus wa yandjerwa okutura erike puna omurwe wovita okumutjevera.
17 Kombunda yomayuva yetatu Paulus wa isana ovanane vOvajuda va Roma kombongarero. Nowo tji va wongara a tja ku wo: “Vaisrael ovakwetu, nangarire kutja hi na tji mba tjita kotjiwaṋa tjetu na kotuzo twootate mukururume, ami mba rira omupandekwa mOjerusalem ne yandjewa kOvaroma. 18 Nu Ovaroma tji va za nokundjipura, va vanga okundjikutura tjinga ava muna kutja hi tjitire otjiṋa pu mba pwire okuṱa. 19 Nungwari Ovajuda tji va kuramena otjiṋa hi momurungu, ami mba ṋiṋikiziwa okukurama komurungu wombara ya Roma, nu nao e he ri kutja me vanga okurondora otjiwaṋa tjetu oveni. 20 Opu mba ningirira okumumuna nokuhungira na eṋe. Ami nai mba pandekwa motjimbe tja ingwi Ovaisrael mu ve nomaundjiro, nouketanga mbwi.”
21 Owo va tjere ku ye: “Eṱe katuya muna otutuu okuza kehi ra Judea tu matu hungire ove, nu wina kape nomundu umwe wetu ngwa zira ngo nombuze poo notjiṋa otjivi okuhungira ove. 22 Nungwari eṱe matu vanga okuzuva ouripura woye, tjinga amatu tjiwa kutja ovandu akuhe ve temangura otjira hi ove mu u ri.”
23 Owo opu va zikamisira eyuva puna Paulus, nu meyuva ndo otjimbumba otjinene tjovandu atji ya ngwi Paulus ka ri. Okuza komuhuka nga kongurova eye we ve handjaurira ombuze youhona wa Ndjambi na roro okuvetanaurira ku Jesus ama tamuna omambo mOmatwako wa Moses na momatjangwa wovaprofete. 24 Tjiva vawo va kambura momambo we, nungwari tjiva kave kamburire ko. 25 Nowo arire tji va i ave hi nokuzuvasana oveni, indu Paulus tja za nokuhungira embo rimwe ndi: “Tjiri, Ombepo Ondjapuke ya hungira nawa notjinyo tjomuprofete Jesaja kooiho mukururume, 26 indu tja tjere:
‘Twende u katje nai kotjiwaṋa hi:
Eṋe mamu puratene amwa puratenene,

28 Nu Paulus wa yandisa omambo we ama tja: “Nambano mamu sokutjiwa kutja ombuze ya Ndjambi yondjamo ya hindwa ku imba mbe he ri Ovajuda, nowo mave i puratene!”
30 Oure wozombura mbari Paulus wa turire poṋa pa yazemene, nu wina poṋa mbo opuya yakurire ovandu avehe mbaa ve ya okumuvarura. 31 Eye wa zuvarisire ouhona wa Ndjambi na hongo avihe mbya tjamene na Muhona Jesus Kristus ama hungire nouvanḓe nouyara auhe.
