Masengo 21
1 Pitwalangene nawo, twakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni twajawile mpaka ku Kosi. Malaŵi jakwe twaiche musi wa ku Lode ni kutyochela kweleko twajawile ku Patala.
And when, having got away from them, we at last sailed away, we came by a direct course to Cos, and on the morrow to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 Ni kweleko twajisimene ngalaŵa jekulungwa jijajombokaga kwaula ku Foinike, twakwesile ni kwendelechela ni ulendo.
And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;
3 Pitwaiche pakukombola kujiwona Kupulo, twapite upande wa kunchiji ni kwaula ku Silia. Twajimi musi wa ku Tilo ni kujitulusya misigo kutyochela mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa.
and having sighted Cyprus, and left it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and made the land at Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Kweleko twaasimene ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu, ni twatemi pamo ni ŵanyawo chijuma chimo. Kwa machili ga Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵanchondelele che Paolo kuti akajaula ku Yelusalemu.
And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Nambo pikamasile katema ka kutama ni ŵanyawo, twajendelechele ni ulendo wetu. Ŵandu wose pamo ni achiŵankwawo ni achiŵana ŵao ŵatupechesye mpaka paasa musi. Pitwaiche ku mbwani twatindiŵele ŵanawose ni kwapopela Akunnungu.
But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed.
6 Nipele twalangene, noweji twakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni ŵanyawo ŵausile mmangwao.
And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.
7 Kutyochela ku Tilo twajendelechele ni ulendo wetu mpaka twaiche ku Tolemaisi, ni kweleko twajawile kukwakomasya ŵakukulupilila achinjetu, twatemi nawo kwa lyuŵa limo.
And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.
8 Malaŵi jakwe twajendelechele ni ulendo ni kwika ku Kaisalia. Ni kweleko twajawile ku nyuumba ji che Filipo jwakulalichila Ngani Jambone. Jwelejo ŵaliji jumo jwa aŵala saba ŵaŵasagulikwe ku Yelusalemu kula.
And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
9 Mundu jo ŵakwete achiŵaliŵalipe ncheche ŵaŵalondolaga utenga wa Akunnungu.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Pitwatemi kweleko moŵa gampepe ŵaiche jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu jumo kutyochela ku Yudea liina lyakwe che Agabo.
And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,
11 Ni ŵaiche pitwaliji, ŵaujigele nkaanda u che Paolo ni ŵalitaŵile mmakono ni makongolo ni kuti, “Mbumu jwa Akunnungu akuti, ‘Ŵayahudi ŵa ku Yelusalemu kula chantaŵe nsyene nkaanda wu kwanti nnyi ni kunjausya mmakono ga ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.’”
and coming to us and taking the girdle of Paul, and having bound his own hands and feet, said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose this girdle is shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver him up into the hands of [the] Gentiles.
12 Patwapilikene yeleyo, uweji ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵaliji pepala twachondelele che Paolo kuti akajaula ku Yelusalemu.
And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Nambo che Paolo nsyene ŵajanjile, “Ana nkusaka kupanganya chichi? Nkusaka kuusupusya ntima wangu ni misosi jenu? Ndili chile ngaŵa kutaŵikwa pe ku Yelusalemu kula, nambo atamuno kuwa kwa ligongo lya Ambuje Che Yesu.”
But Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Paŵakanile kutupilikanila twannesile nikuti, “Chakusaka Ambuje chitendekwe!”
And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 Pitwatemi pepala moŵa gampepe, twataŵile misigo jetu ni twajendelechele ni ulendo wa ku Yelusalemu.
And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.
16 Ŵakulijiganya ŵampepe ŵa ku Kaisalia kula ŵalongene ni uweji, ni ŵatupechesye ku nyuumba ji che Mnasoni kutwajile kukutama ni jwelejo moŵa gampepe. Che Mnasoni ŵaliji mundu jwa ku Kupulo ni juŵaliji jwakukulupilila jwa kalakala.
And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing [with them] a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
17 Patwaiche ku Yelusalemu, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu achinjetu ŵa kweleko ŵatupochele uchenene nnope.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.
18 Malaŵi jakwe che Paolo ŵalongene ni uweji kukwakomasya che Yakobo, achachekulu wose ŵa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa kweleko ŵaliji palapala.
And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.
19 Patwamasile kwakomasya, che Paolo ŵatandite kwasalila yanayose nkati iŵaitesile Akunnungu kwa masengo ga che Paolo kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.
20 Ŵandu ŵala paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵaakusisye Akunnungu. Nipele ŵansalile che Paolo, “Nlongo njetu, nkukombola kuwona kuti kwana mianda ja Ŵayahudi aŵele ŵakukulupilila sambano ni wose akulimbila kugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
And they having heard [it] glorified God, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of the Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law.
21 Apilikene kuti alakwe nkwajiganya Ŵayahudi ŵakutama pasikati ja ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi anagakamulisye Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa, ni mwasalile akaumbasya ŵanache ŵao namose kugakamulichisya masyoŵelo ga Ŵayahudi.
And they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews among the nations apostasy from Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk in the customs.
22 Nambi chiiŵe uli? Isyene ŵandu chapilikane kuti nnyiche.
What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Mbaya ntendekanye chitukunsalila uwe. Tukwete achalume ncheche pelepa ŵaŵataŵile nasili paujo pa Akunnungu.
This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
24 Nliwanganye ni ŵanyawo mu kupopela kwa kuliswejesya, nlipe ntengo waukusachilwa kwa ŵanyamwe wose, nipele ŵandu wo amyolekwe umbo. Kwakutenda yeleyo ŵandu wose chamanyilile kuti ngani siŵasipilikene syo nkati alakwe nganisiŵa sisyene nomwe mwasyene nkugakamulisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
take these and be purified with them, and pay their expenses, that they may have their heads shaved; and all will know that [of those things] of which they have been informed about thee nothing is [true]; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
25 Yankati ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu, uweji twalembele chikalata ni kwasalila itwilamwile ni kwapelechela, chachikuti, akalya chachili chose chetaje mbopesi sya minungu ja unami, ni akalya miasi, ni akalya nyama ja chinyama chepopotolwe ni aleche chikululu.”
But concerning [those of] the nations who have believed, we have written, deciding that they should [observe no such thing, only to] keep themselves both from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication.
26 Nipele malaŵi jakwe che Paolo ŵaajigele ŵandu ŵala ni kupopela kwa kuliswejesya pamo nawo. Nipele ŵajinjile pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu kukusala mbesi ja moŵa gakuliswejesya ni yankati mbopesi ja malipilo jichijityosyekwe kwaligongo lya jwalijose mwa ŵanyawo.
Then Paul, taking the men, on the next day, having been purified, entered with them into the temple, signifying the time the days of the purification would be fulfilled, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Moŵa nsano ni gaŵili gala gachiŵandichilaga kumala, Ŵayahudi ŵaŵakopochele ku Asia ŵambweni che Paolo ali pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu. Nipele ŵaatesile ŵandu wose ŵaachime che Paolo ni ŵankamwile,
And when the seven days were nearly completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, set all the crowd in a tumult, and laid hands upon him,
28 achinyanyisyaga, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli, kuntukamusye! Mundu ju ni jwejula jwakwajiganya achalume wose indu yakukanilana ni Ŵaisilaeli pamo ni Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ni Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ji. Ni sooni ŵajinjisye Ŵagiliki pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kupasakasya peuto papaswela pa.”
crying, Israelites, help! this is the man who teaches all everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place, and has brought Greeks too into the temple, and profaned this holy place.
29 Ŵatite yeleyo ligongo ŵambweni che Tilofimo mundu jwa ku Efeso, mu musi, ali pamo ni che Paolo ni ŵaganisisye kuti che Paolo ŵanjinjisye pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Nipele musi wose wagumbele utindiganyo ni ŵaiche ŵandu kutyochela mbande syose kuti ŵaakamule che Paolo, ŵakwekwelemye ni kwakoposya pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ni papopo ŵaugele minango ja Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
And the whole city was moved, and there was a concourse of the people; and having laid hold on Paul they drew him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
31 Ŵaliŵisile chile kuti ŵaulaje, nambo ngani jo japikaniche kwa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo lichila ŵa Chiloma kuti Yelusalemu jose jili tametame.
And as they were seeking to kill him, a representation came to the chiliarch of the band that the whole of Jerusalem was in a tumult;
32 Pangakaŵa jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula ŵaajigele ŵangondo ŵakwe ni achakulu ŵao ni ŵautuchile ku mpingo wa ŵandu kula. Ni ŵanyawo paŵammweni jwankulu jo ni ŵangondo ŵakwe ŵalesile kumputa che Paolo.
who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.
33 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula ŵanjaulile che Paolo, ŵankamwile ni kulamula kuti ataŵikwe minyolo jiŵili. Ni ŵausisye achitiji, “Ana ncheni jweleju, nombe atesile chichi?”
Then the chiliarch came up and laid hold upon him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he might be, and what he had done.
34 Ŵane ŵaali mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula ŵagumilangaga, ŵane achi ni ŵane acho. Ligongo lya wele utinda wo, jwankulu jwa ŵangondo jula nganakombola kugamanyilila magambo gasyenesyene. Nipele ŵalamwile ŵangondo ŵala kuti ŵajigale che Paolo ni kunjausya mu likome.
And different persons cried some different thing in the crowd. But he, not being able to know the certainty on account of the uproar, commanded him to be brought into the fortress.
35 Che Paolo paŵaiche pakukwelela kwinjilila nkati, ŵangondo ŵannyakwile ligongo lya utindiganyo wa ŵandu.
But when he got upon the stairs it was so that he was borne by the soldiers on account of the violence of the crowd.
36 Mpingo wekulungwa wa ŵandu ŵakuiye achinyanyisyaga, “Mwaulaje!”
For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
37 Paŵanjinjisyaga mu likome, che Paolo ŵanchondelele jwankulu jwa ŵangondo mia moja jula achitiji, “Ana ngukombola kuŵecheta chindu nomwe?” Jwankulu jula ŵajanjile, “Ana nkumanyilila kuŵecheta Chigiliki?
But as he was about to be led into the fortress, Paul says to the chiliarch, Is it allowed me to say something to thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
38 Ana mmweji ngati Mmisili jumwachisisye ŵandu atindiganye ni kwalongosya ŵakuulaga elufu nne ŵala mpaka mwipululu?”
Thou art not then that Egyptian who before these days raised a sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the assassins?
39 Che Paolo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba! Uneji ndili Myahudi, jumbagwilwe ku Taso, musi wa ku Kilikia, uneji jwa musi waumanyiche nnope. Choonde, munyitichisye mechete ni ŵandu ŵa.”
But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus, citizen of no insignificant city of Cilicia, and I beseech of thee, allow me to speak to the people.
40 Jwankulu jula ŵajitichisye, nipele che Paolo ŵajimi pakukwelela pala, ŵagolwesye nkono kwamyalasya ŵandu ŵala, ni ŵandu ŵala ŵamyalele ni ŵatandite kuŵecheta nawo Mchiebulania.
And when he had allowed him, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people; and a great silence having been made, he addressed them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
