1
And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
En toe hulle gered was, toe het hulle verstaan dat die eiland Melita genoem is.

2
And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
En die barbaarse mense het ons nie geringe vriendelikheid betoon nie: want hulle het ’n vuur aangesteek, en ons almal ontvang, om die reën wat aanwesig was, en om die koue.
3
And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
En toe Paulus ’n hoop dorings bymekaargemaak het, en dit op die vuur gelê het, het daar ’n adder uit die hitte uitgekom, en aan sy hand vasgehou.
4
And when the barbarians saw the [venomous] beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
En toe die barbaarse mense die giftige dier aan sy hand sien hang, het hulle onder mekaar gesê, Hierdie man is sekerlik ’n moordenaar, wat, alhoewel hy uit die see gered is, tog die wraak nie toelaat om te lewe nie.
5
And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
En hy het die dier in die vuur afgeskud, en geen kwaad gely nie.
6
Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
Hoebeit hulle het verwag dat hy sou swel, of skielik neerval en sterwe: maar nadat hulle lank gewag het, en sien dat geen kwaad aan hom kom nie, het hulle van gedagte verander, en gesê dat hy ’n god was.
7
In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
In dieselfde oorde was die besittings van die hoofman van die eiland, wie se naam Publius was; wat ons ontvang het, en drie dae vriendelik gelogeer het.
8
And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
En dit het gebeur, dat die vader van Publius met ’n koors en ’n bloeding siek gelê het: tot wie Paulus ingegaan het, en gebid, en sy hande op hom gelê, en hom genees het.
9
So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
So toe dit gedoen is, het ook andere wat siektes in die eiland gehad het, gekom, en is genees:
10
Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded [us] with such things as were necessary.
Wat ons ook met baie eer bewys het; en toe ons vertrek het, het hulle ons van sulke dinge voorsien as nodig was.
11
And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
En ná drie maande het ons in ’n skip van Alexandrië gevaar, wat in die eiland oorwinter het, wie se teken Castor en Pollux was.
12
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried [there] three days.
En toe ons in Sirakuse geland het, het ons daar drie dae vertoef.
13
And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
En van daar het ons omgevaar, en by Regium gekom: en ná een dag het die suidewind gewaai, en die volgende dag het ons by Puteoli gekom:
14
Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
Waar ons broers gevind het, en gevra is om sewe dae by hulle te bly: en so het ons na Rome gegaan.
15
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
En van daar, toe die broers van ons gehoor het, het hulle ons tegemoetgekom tot by Appii Forum, en Die Drie Taverne: wat, toe Paulus sien, het hy God gedank, en moed geneem.
16
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
En toe ons in Rome gekom het, het die honderdman die gevangenes aan die kaptein van die wag oorgelewer: maar Paulus is toegelaat om alleen te woon met ‚'n soldaat wat hom bewaar het.
17
And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men [and] brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
En dit het gebeur, dat ná drie dae Paulus die voornaamste van die Jode bymekaargeroep het: en toe hulle bymekaar was, het hy tot hulle gesê, Manne en broers, alhoewel ek niks teen die volk of die gebruike van ons vaders gedoen het nie, is ek tog as gevangene uit Jérusalem in die hande van die Romeine oorgelewer.
18
Who, when they had examined me, would have let [me] go, because there was no cause of death in me.
Wat, toe hulle my ondersoek het, sou my losgelaat het, omdat daar geen oorsaak van die dood in my was nie.
19
But when the Jews spake against [it], I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
Maar toe die Jode daarteenoor gespreek het, is ek genoodsaak om tot César te appelleer; nie dat ek iets teen my nasie te kla gehad het nie.
20
For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see [you], and to speak with [you]: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
Om hierdie oorsaak daarom het ek julle geroep, om julle te sien, en met julle te spreek: omdat dit om die hoop van Israel is dat ek met hierdie ketting gebind is.
21
And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
En hulle het tot hom gesê, Ons het nóg briewe aangaande jou uit Judea ontvang, nóg enige van die broers wat gekom het, enige iets kwaads aangaande jou aangemeld of gespreek.
22
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
Maar ons begeer om van jou te hoor wat jy dink: want wat hierdie sekt betref, ons weet dat dit oral weerspreek word.
23
And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into [his] lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and [out of] the prophets, from morning till evening.
En toe hulle hom ’n dag aangewys het, het daar baie by hom in sy woning gekom; aan wie hy die koninkryk van God uitgelê en getuig het, en hulle oortuig aangaande Jesus, beide uit die wet van Moses, en uit die profete, van die môre tot die aand.
24
And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
En sommige het die dinge wat gespreek is geglo, en sommige het nie geglo nie.
25
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
En toe hulle onder mekaar nie ooreengekom het nie, het hulle weggegaan, nadat Paulus een woord gespreek het, Wel het die Heilige Gees deur Jesaja die profeet tot ons vaders gespreek,
26
Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
Sê, Gaan na hierdie volk, en sê, Julle hoor met die ore, en verstaan nie; en sien met die oë, en sien nie:
27
For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Want die hart van hierdie volk is verhard, en hulle ore is traag om te hoor, en hulle oë het hulle toegesluit; anders sou hulle met die oë sien, en met die ore hoor, en met die hart verstaan, en bekeer, en ek sou hulle genees.
28
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and [that] they will hear it.
Laat dit daarom aan julle bekend wees, dat die heil van God aan die heidene gestuur is, en dat hulle dit sal hoor.
29
And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
En toe hy hierdie woorde gesê het, het die Jode weggegaan, en groot redenering onder mekaar gehad.
30
And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
En Paulus het twee volle jare in sy eie gehuurde woning gebly, en almal ontvang wat by hom gekom het,
31
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Die koninkryk van God verkondigende, en die dinge aangaande die Here Jesus Christus leerende, met alle vrymoedigheid, niemand wat hom verhinder nie.
