1At nang kami'y mangakatakas na, nang magkagayo'y napagtalastas namin na ang pulo'y tinatawag na Melita. 2At pinagpakitaan kami ng hindi karaniwang kagandahang-loob ng mga barbaro: sapagka't sila'y nagsiga, at tinanggap kaming lahat, dahil sa ulan niyaon, at dahil sa ginaw. 3Datapuwa't pagkapagtipon ni Pablo ng isang bigkis na kahoy at mailagay sa apoy, ay lumabas ang isang ulupong dahil sa init, at kumapit sa kaniyang kamay. 4At nang makita ng mga barbaro ang makamandag na hayop na nakabitin sa kaniyang kamay, ay nagsabi ang isa sa iba, Walang salang mamamatay-tao ang taong ito, na, bagama't siya'y nakatakas sa dagat, gayon ma'y hindi siya pinabayaang mabuhay ng Katarungan. 5Gayon ma'y ipinagpag niya ang hayop sa apoy, at siya'y hindi nasaktan. 6Nguni't kanilang hinihintay na siya'y mamaga, o biglang mabuwal na patay: datapuwa't nang maluwat na silang makapaghintay, at makitang walang nangyari sa kaniyang anoman, ay nangagbago sila ng akala, at nangagsabing siya'y isang dios. 7At sa mga kalapit ng dakong yao'y may mga lupain ang pangulo sa pulong yaon, na nagngangalang Publio; na tumanggap sa amin, at nagkupkop sa aming tatlong araw na may kagandahang-loob. 8At nangyari, nararatay ang ama ni Publio na may-sakit na lagnat at iti: at pinasok siya ni Pablo, at nanalangin, at nang maipatong sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga kamay ay siya'y pinagaling. 9At nang magawa na ito, ay nagsiparoon naman ang mga ibang maysakit sa pulo, at pawang pinagaling: 10Kami nama'y kanilang pinarangalan ng maraming pagpaparangal; at nang magsilayag kami, ay kanilang inilulan sa daong ang mga bagay na kinakailangan namin. 11At nang makaraan ang tatlong buwan ay nagsilayag kami sa isang daong Alejandria na tumigil ng tagginaw sa pulo, na ang sagisag ay Ang Magkapatid na Kambal. 12At nang dumaong kami sa Siracusa, ay nagsitigil kami roong tatlong araw. 13At mula doo'y nagsiligid kami, at nagsirating sa Regio: at pagkaraan ng isang araw ay humihip ang timugan, at nang ikalawang araw ay nagsirating kami sa Puteoli; 14Na doo'y nakasumpong kami ng mga kapatid, at kami'y pinakiusapang matira sa kanilang pitong araw: at sa gayo'y nagsirating kami sa Roma. 15At buhat doo'y pagkabalita ng mga kapatid, ay sinalubong kami sa Pamilihan ng Appio at sa Tatlong Bahay-Tuluyan; na nang sila'y makita ni Pablo, ay nagpasalamat sa Dios, at lumakas ang loob. 16At nang mangakapasok kami sa Roma, si Pablo ay pinahintulutang mamahay na magisa na kasama ng kawal na sa kaniya'y nagbabantay. 17At nangyari, na nang makaraan ang tatlong araw ay tinipon niya yaong mga pangulo sa mga Judio: at nang sila'y mangagkatipon na, ay sinabi niya sa kanila, Ako, mga kapatid, bagaman wala akong ginawang anoman laban sa bayan, o sa mga kaugalian ng ating mga magulang, ay ibinigay akong bilanggo buhat sa Jerusalem sa mga kamay ng mga taga Roma: 18Na, nang ako'y kanilang masulit na, ay ibig sana nila akong palayain, sapagka't wala sa aking anomang kadahilanang marapat sa kamatayan. 19Datapuwa't nang magsalita laban dito ang mga Judio, ay napilitan akong maghabol hanggang kay Cesar; hindi dahil sa mayroon akong anomang sukat na maisakdal laban sa aking bansa. 20Sanhi sa dahilang ito tinawag ko kayo upang makipagkita at makipagusap sa akin: sapagka't dahil sa pagasa ng Israel ay nagagapos ako ng tanikalang ito. 21At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Kami'y hindi nagsitanggap ng mga sulat na galing sa Judea tungkol sa iyo, ni naparito man ang sinomang kapatid na magbalita o magsalita ng anomang masama tungkol sa iyo. 22Datapuwa't ibig naming marinig sa iyo kung ano ang iyong iniisip: sapagka't tungkol sa sektang ito'y talastas naming sa lahat ng mga dako ay laban dito ang mga salitaan. 23At nang mataningan na nila siya ng isang araw, ay nagsiparoon ang lubhang marami sa kaniyang tinutuluyan; at sa kanila'y kaniyang ipinaliwanag ang bagay, na sinasaksihan ang kaharian ng Dios, at sila'y hinihikayat tungkol kay Jesus, sa pamamagitan ng kautusan ni Moises at gayon din sa pamamagitan ng mga propeta, buhat sa umaga hanggang sa gabi. 24At ang mga iba'y nagsipaniwala sa mga bagay na sinabi, at ang mga iba'y hindi nagsipaniwala. 25At nang sila'y hindi mangagkaisa, ay nangagsialis pagkasabi ni Pablo ng isang salita, Mabuti ang pagkasalita ng Espiritu Santo sa pamamagitan ng propeta Isaias sa inyong mga magulang, 26Na sinasabi, Pumaroon ka sa bayang ito, at sabihin mo, Sa pakikinig ay inyong mapapakinggan, at sa anomang paraa'y hindi ninyo mapaguunawa; At sa pagtingin ay inyong makikita, at sa anomang paraa'y hindi ninyo mamamalas: 27Sapagka't kumapal ang puso ng bayang ito, At mahirap na makarinig ang kanilang mga tainga, At kanilang ipinikit ang kanilang mga mata; Baka sila'y mangakakita ng kanilang mga mata, At mangakarinig ng kanilang mga tainga, At mangakaunawa ng kanilang puso, At muling mangagbalik-loob, At sila'y aking pagalingin. 28Maging hayag nawa sa inyo, na ang kaligtasang ito ng Dios ay ipinadala sa mga Gentil: sila'y makikinig naman. 29At nang masabi na niya ang mga salitang ito'y nagsialis ang mga Judio, at sila-sila'y nangagtatalong mainam. 30At tumahan si Pablo na dalawang taong ganap sa kaniyang tahanang inuupahan, at tinatanggap ang lahat ng sa kaniya'y nagsisipagsadya, 31Na ipinangangaral ang kaharian ng Dios, at itinuturo ang mga bagay na nauukol sa Panginoong Jesucristo ng buong katapangan, wala sinomang nagbabawal sa kaniya.
1When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta. 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. 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. 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.” 5However he shook off the creature into the fire, and wasn’t harmed. 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. 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. 8The father of Publius lay sick of fever and dysentery. Paul entered in to him, prayed, and laying his hands on him, healed him. 9Then when this was done, the rest also who had diseases in the island came, and were cured. 10They also honored us with many honors, and when we sailed, they put on board the things that we needed. 11After three months, we set sail in a ship of Alexandria which had wintered in the island, whose sign was “The Twin Brothers.” 12Touching at Syracuse, we stayed there three days. 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, 14where we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome. 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. 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. 17After 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, 18who, when they had examined me, desired to set me free, because there was no cause of death in me. 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. 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.” 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. 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.” 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. 24Some believed the things which were spoken, and some disbelieved. 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, 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. 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.’ 28“Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the nations. They will also listen.” 29When he had said these words, the Jews departed, having a great dispute among themselves. 30Paul stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who were coming to him, 31preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, without hindrance.
1En als zij ontkomen waren, toen verstonden zij, dat het eiland Melite heette. 2En de barbaren bewezen ons geen gemene vriendelijkheid; want een groot vuur ontstoken hebbende, namen zij ons allen in, om den regen, die overkwam, en om de koude. 3En als Paulus een hoop rijzen bijeengeraapt en op het vuur gelegd had, kwam er een adder uit door de hitte, en vatte zijn hand. 4En als de barbaren het beest zagen aan zijn hand hangen, zeiden zij tot elkander: Deze mens is gewisselijk een doodslager, welken de wraak niet laat leven, daar hij uit de zee ontkomen is. 5Maar hij schudde het beest af in het vuur, en leed niets kwaads. 6En zij verwachtten, dat hij zou opzwellen, of terstond dood nedervallen. Maar als zij lang gewacht hadden, en zagen, dat geen ongemak hem overkwam, werden zij veranderd, en zeiden, dat hij een god was. 7En hier, omtrent dezelfde plaats, had de voornaamste van het eiland, met name Publius, zijn landhoeven, die ons ontving, en drie dagen vriendelijk herbergde. 8En het geschiedde, dat de vader van Publius, met koortsen en den roden loop bevangen zijnde, te bed lag; tot denwelken Paulus inging, en als hij gebeden had, legde hij de handen op hem, en maakte hem gezond. 9Als dit dan geschied was, kwamen ook tot hem de anderen, die krankheden hadden in het eiland, en werden genezen. 10Die ons ook eerden met veel eer, en als wij vertrekken zouden, bestelden zij ons hetgeen van node was. 11En na drie maanden voeren wij af in een schip van Alexandrie, dat in het eiland overwinterd had, hebbende tot een teken, Kastor en Pollux. 12En als wij te Syrakuse aangekomen waren, bleven wij aldaar drie dagen; 13Van waar wij omvoeren, en kwamen aan te Regium; en alzo, na een dag, de wind zuid werd, kwamen wij den tweeden dag te Puteoli; 14Alwaar wij broeders vonden, en werden gebeden, zeven dagen bij hen te blijven; en alzo gingen wij naar Rome. 15En vandaar kwamen de broeders, van onze zaken gehoord hebbende, ons tegemoet tot Appiusmarkt, en de drie tabernen; welke Paulus ziende, dankte hij God en greep moed. 16En toen wij te Rome gekomen waren, gaf de hoofdman de gevangenen over aan den overste des legers; maar aan Paulus werd toegelaten op zichzelven te wonen met den krijgsknecht, die hem bewaarde. 17En het geschiedde na drie dagen dat Paulus samenriep degenen, die de voornaamsten der Joden waren. En als zij samengekomen waren, zeide hij tot hen: Mannen broeders, ik, die niets gedaan heb tegen het volk of de vaderlijke gewoonten, ben gebonden uit Jeruzalem overgeleverd in de handen der Romeinen; 18Dewelken, mij onderzocht hebbende, wilden mij loslaten, omdat geen schuld des doods in mij was. 19Maar als de Joden zulks tegenspraken, werd ik genoodzaakt mij op den keizer te beroepen; doch niet, alsof ik iets had, mijn volk te beschuldigen. 20Om deze oorzaak dan heb ik u bij mij geroepen, om u te zien en aan te spreken; want vanwege de hope Israels ben ik met deze keten omvangen. 21Maar zij zeiden tot hem: Wij hebben noch brieven u aangaande van Judea ontvangen; noch iemand van de broeders, hier gekomen zijnde, heeft van u iets kwaads geboodschapt of gesproken. 22Maar wij begeren wel van u te horen, wat gij gevoelt; want wat deze sekte aangaat, ons is bekend, dat zij overal tegengesproken wordt. 23En als zij hem een dag gesteld hadden, kwamen er velen in zijn woonplaats; denwelken hij het Koninkrijk Gods uitlegde, en betuigde, en poogde hen te bewegen tot het geloof in Jezus, beide uit de wet van Mozes en de profeten, van des morgens vroeg tot den avond toe. 24En sommigen geloofden wel, hetgeen gezegd werd, maar sommigen geloofden niet. 25En tegen elkander oneens zijnde, scheidden zij; als Paulus dit ene woord gezegd had, namelijk: Wel heeft de Heilige Geest gesproken door Jesaja, den profeet, tot onze vaderen, 26Zeggende: Ga heen tot dit volk, en zeg: Met het gehoor zult gij horen, en geenszins verstaan; en ziende zult gij zien, en geenszins bemerken. 27Want het hart dezes volks is dik geworden, en met de oren hebben zij zwaarlijk gehoord, en hun ogen hebben zij toegedaan; opdat zij niet te eniger tijd met de ogen zouden zien, en met de oren horen, en met het hart verstaan, en zij zich bekeren, en Ik hen geneze. 28Het zij u dan bekend, dat de zaligheid Gods den heidenen gezonden is, en dezelve zullen horen. 29En als hij dit gezegd had, gingen de Joden weg, veel twisting hebbenden onder elkander. 30En Paulus bleef twee gehele jaren in zijn eigen gehuurde woning; en ontving allen, die tot hem kwamen; 31Predikende het Koninkrijk Gods, en lerende van den Heere Jezus Christus met alle vrijmoedigheid, onverhinderd.
