Acts 21
1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Patumaliliti kumgambira kwaheri, tukweniti meli tugenda mpaka kosi. Shirawu yakuwi tusokiti Rodi, na kulawa aku tugenditi patara.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
Aku, tuwoniti meli yaiweriti yankugenda Foiniki, hangu tukweniti, tugenda mwanja.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
Patusokiti kala pahala peni tuweziti kuwona kupiru, tupitiriti uwega wakuwi wa kushana tugenda Siriya. Tupumliriti mulushi lwa Tiru peni meli ilii iweriti wankusulusiya visanka vyakuwi.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Tuwoniti waumini wamu aku, na tulivaga pamwera nawomberi kwa lijuma limu. Kwa likakala lya Rohu, wamgambira Paulu kotukugenda Yerusalemu.
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Kumbiti shipindi shetu pashiperiti tuwukiti woseri pamuhera na wadala na wana wawu watupelekiti mpaka kunja ya lushi. Patusokiti kumbwani, twawoseri tusundamaliti na tumluwa Mlungu.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
Shakapanu patulongiti kwaheri, twenga tukwena meli, nawomberi wawuya ukaya kwawu.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
Twenga twendereyiti na mwanja gwetu kulawa Tiru tusoka Tolemaisi kweni tuwalamsiya wawumini, tulikaliti nawomberi lishaka limu.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Shirawu yakuwi tuwukiti na tusoka Kaisariya. Aku tulikaliti ukaya kwa Mwinjilisti Filipi yomberi kaweriti yumu gwa walii saba wawasyaguliti kutanga Yerusalemu kulii.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Kaweriti na wahinga wamsheshi weni waweriti na shipaji sha kutakulira ujumbi wa Mlungu.
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Pawalikaliti aku mashaka ng'o, mbuyi yumu wamshema Agabu kiziti kulawa Yudeya.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Katuyiziriti, katola Mkanda gwa Paulu, kalitawa mumawoku na mumagulu Kalonga, “Rohu Mnanagala katakula hangu, ‘Wayawudi Yerusalemu wamtawi ntambu ayi muntu kana mkanda agu na wantu wa maisi wamkamli.’”
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Patupikiniriti aga, twenga na wantu wamonga walii wawaweriti panu tumluwiti Paulu kotukugenda Yerusalemu.
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, 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.”
Kumbiti Paulu kankuliti, “Mfira kutenda shishi? Mfira kugumega moyu gwangu kwa masozi? Neni nwera kala hera ndiri kutatilwa mnumba kulii Yerusalemu, ila ata kuhowa kwajili ya Mtuwa Yesu.”
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
Patusinditi kumuzyangazyanga tunyamala, tulonga hera, “Shakafira Mtuwa shitendeki!”
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Pawatamiti palii kwa katepu, tuyopiti visanka vyetu, twendereyiti na mwanja kugenda Yerusalemu.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
Wamu wa wafundwa walii wa Kaisariya wagenditi pamuhera natwenga, watujega ukaya kwa Mnasoni yomberi tuweriti twankugenda kulikala nayomberi kwa katepu. Mnasoni kaweriti mwenikaya gwa kupiru na kaweriti muwumini gwa mashaka gavuwa.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Patuyingiriti Yerusalemu, walongu wawumini watuyangiti weri nentu.
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Shirawu yakuwi Paulu kagenditi pamwera natwenga kumlamusiya Yakobu, na wazewi na shipinga sha wantu wawamjimira Yesu Kristu waweriti viraa.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Pawamlamsiyiti kala, Paulu kawayupiti shisoweru kamili kuusu goseri Mlungu gakaweriti kagatenda pakati pa wantu wa maisi kwa njira ya lihengu lyakuwi.
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
Pawapikiniriti aga, wamkwisa Mlungu. Shakapanu kamgambira Paulu, “Mlongu, guweza kuwona handa kwana Wayawudi maelufu weni vinu wawera wajimira na woseri awa wagatenda weri malagaliru.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
Wapata visoweru vyakuwi handa guweriti gwanguwafunda Wayawudi yawalikala muwamu mwa wantu wa maisi gamonga nawagashera ndiri malagaliru ga Musa, kotukuwayigiziya jandu wananguta wawu na kotukuzifata mila za Wayawudi.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
Nakaka wapikinira handa kasoka kala panu. Tutendi hashi, shakapanu?
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
Su, gutendi handa ntambu yatukugambiziyiti. Twa panu wantu msheshi weni watula nazili.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
Gwingiri pamuhera na womberi, gulipungi pamuhera na womberi na gulipi na shyasi shashiwusika kwa womberi shakapanu wamogi viri zawu. Su kila muntu hakavimani kuwera visoweru vyoseri vilii vyawagambiritwi kuusu gwenga vyahera mana, kumbiti gwenga gumweni gwendereya weri na kugajimira malagiliru ga Musa.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
Kuusu wantu walii wa maisi gamonga wantu yawamjimira Yesu, tuwajegera kala luhamba twankuwagambira vitwatira vyatuamuwiti, waleki kuliya shoseri shawatambikiriti kwa milungu, nawalanda mwazi ama nawaliya vinofu vya shigongolu yawaminduwitwi na waleki uhumba.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Su lishaka lyalifatiti Paulu kawatoliti wantu walii na kalipunga pamuhera nawu. Shakapanu kingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pakabwera visoweru vya upeleru wa mashaka ga kulipunga na tambiku meitendwi kwa kila muntu.
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
Shipindi mashaka saba aga pagiziti kupera, Wayawudi waweriti walawa pamkoa gwa Asiya wamwoniti Paulu Mnumba nkulu ya kumluwa Mlungu. Su, wasonguziya maya mushipinga shoseri sha wantu, wamkamula Paulu.
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
“Wanaisi wa Israeli, wabotanga Mtutangi! Ayu ndomweni ulii muntu yakawafunditi wantu kila pahala shitwatira shawashilema wantu wa Israeli, yagalema Malagaliru ga Musa na pahala panu pananagala. Ata vinu kawayingiziya wantu wa maisi gamonga Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kupatula uhumba pahala panu pananagala.”
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
Toziya ya kutakula hangu ndo kuwera waweriti wamwona Tirofimu, mwenikaya gwa Efesu, kaweriti pamuhera na Paulu mlushi, womberi walisheriti kuwera Paulu kaweriti kamwingiziya Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Lushi loseri lwingira ndewu, wantu wiza kulawa wega zoseri, wamlaviyiti Paulu kunja Kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, na palaa panu milyangu itatwa ya Numba nkulu ya Mlungu.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Waweriti kala kumlaga kumbiti visoweru vimwizira mkulu gwa wanjagila wa shiroma kuwera Yerusalemu yoseri iweriti imema ndewu.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
Kamu kamu mkulu gwa njagira kawatola wanjagila na mkulu gwa wanjagila, kashigendera shipinga sha wantu. Nawomberi pawamwoniti mkulu gwa njagira na wanjagila, waleka kumkoma Paulu.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
Mkulu gwa jeshi kamgenderiti Paulu, kambata na kuamuwa wamtawi minyololu mushimba. Shakapanu kawakosiiti, “Ndo muntu gaa ayu, na katenda shishi?”
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
Wamonga mshipinga sha wantu shilii waweriti wankubwera shintu ashi na wamonga shintu shilii. Toziya ya ndewu ayi. Mkulu gwa wanjagila kapofola kulimana shawuli kamili. Hangu, kaamuwiti wantu wakuwi wamjegi Paulu kuliboma.
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
Paulu pakasokiti palukweneru, wanjagila wampapiti toziya ya ndewu ya wantu.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
Toziya wantu mushipinga shikulu wamfatiti pawabotanga, “gumlagiri patali!”
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
Pawaweriti wankumwingiziya muboma, Paulu kamluwiti mkulu gwa wajengeni kalonga, “Weza kutakula shintu?” Mkulu gwa njagira ulii kamwankula, “Hashi, gushimana shigiriki?”
38 Are not you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
“Kwani gwenga ndo ulii Mmisri ulii mashana hera kayanjishiti ungondu na kawalonguziya majahili elufu msheshi mpaka kushiwala?”
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
Paulu kankula, “Neni ndo Myawudi, mwiwuka gwa Tarisu pa Kilikiya, neni ndo mwiwuka gwa lushi lwalumanikana. Shondi nukuluwa, gunekeziyi ntakuli na wantu.”
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Mkulu ulii gwa wanjagila kamjimira. Hangu Paulu kagolokiti panani pa lukweneru, kawapungira mawoku wantu walii, na pawalikaliti jiii, kanja kuyowera nawomberi kwa Shiebraniya.
