< Acts 21 >

1 And when it came to pass that we were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Tin cabi ba ki fii, ki kua ku ñinbiagu, ti taa sansiedu ki gedi Kosi dogu nni, lan fiifandi, ke ti pundi Rodesi dogu nni, ki pendi lankani ki pundi Patara.
2 and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
Ti den la ñinbiagu ke ku caa fenesi po, ke ti kua gu.
3 And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Tin den nagi Cihipri kpendegli, ti den balni ki ŋa li ti ganu po, ki toli Siri po, ki gedi ki sedi Tiiri, ke bi tugdi ku ñinbiagu tuga.
4 And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.
Ti den la jesu ŋɔdkaaba, ki tieni lankani dana lele. Foŋanma den fandi ba ke bi waani Pɔli ke wan da gedi Erusalema.
5 And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;
Ti cangu ǹ den juodi likani, ke ti cabi ba, ki tugni ti sanu, ke bani yeni bi puoba yeni bi bila piadi ti hali ki ñani ti u dogu nni. Ke ti gbaani ki jaandi u ñinkunu.
6 and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.
Ti den cabi ba ki kua ku ñinbiagu, ke bi guaniki kuni bi denpo.
7 And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Tin den pendi Tiri, tiden suagi ki gedi Pitolemayisi. Lankani, ti den fuondi tikpiiba, ki juadi yeni ba dayenli.
8 And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
Lan fiifandi, ke ti fii ki gedi Sesare, ki kua Filipi yua n tie ban den gandi ya nileledba o laabaalŋamo tundma po yen yendo deni, ki ye yeni o
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.
Li nilo den pia bonpola taa, ke bi tie powandina, ki pua sawali.
10 And as we tarried there some days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Tin tieni likani dana waamu, sawalpualo bá den ñani Jude, ki jiidi ki cua, ke bi yii o Agabusi,
11 And coming to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
O den nagni tikani ki taa Pɔli gbanñagdu, ki loli o ya taana yeni o nui, ki yedi ne: “Foŋanma ń yedi yaali n ne, 'Maama ne i, ke Juufinba ba loli yua yeni ya gbanñagdu ne, ki mubni o bi nilanba nui nni'.”
12 And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Tin gbadi lan ya maama, tinba yeni ya niba n ye likani kuli ń taani ki maadi Pɔli ke wan da gedi Jerusalema.
13 Then Paul answered, What do ye, weeping and breaking my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Ke Pɔli jiini, “Be yapo i, ke i buudi ki yagni n yama? Kelima, N bobni ki gbeni o, Li ki tie ke ban loli nni baba ka, ama ki go ke Jerusalema nni, O Diedo Jesu yeli po”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Nani Pɔli ń den ki bua ke o cengi ti cegli yeni i, ti ji den ki ŋua ki niidi o, ti den yedi, “O Diedo yanbuama ń tieni lan buali maama”
15 And after these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
Lanya dana ń pendi, ke ti baani ti tuga ki doni ki gedi Jerusalema.
16 And there went with us also [certain] of the disciples from Cæsarea, bringing [with them] one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Bi ŋɔdkaaba den ñani Sesare, ki ŋɔdi ti lipo. Bi den yegi yeni nilo ke bi yii o Minasɔn, ke o tie Cihipri yua, ki den tie ŋɔdkaa, tin baa ye yeni yua.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Tin pundi Jerusalema, ti kpiiba den ga ti cangu yeni li pamanli.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Lan fiifandi, ke Pɔli gedi yeni ti Jaka kani, Kiristi nitaanli nikpelba kuli den ye likani.
19 And when he had saluted them, he rehearsed one by one the things which God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Wan fuondi ba ki gbeni, ke o dugni ba U Tienu ń tieni yaali kuli bi nilanba siiga o tuonli sanu po.
20 And they, when they heard it, glorified God; and they said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of them that have believed; and they are all zealous for the law:
Ban gbadi lani, ke bi dondi U Tienu, ki maadi o, “Ti kpiilo, a la ya niba n tuo ki dugi Jesu po Juufinba siiga ki luo tuda tuda. Bi kuli sedi taajala lie i, ki baa cɔlni li bali yikodi.
21 and they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Be maadi ba a maama, ke a tundi Juufinba yaaba n ye bi nilanba siigi, ki waani ba ke ban ŋa Moyiisi maama, ke ban da kɔndi bi bila, ki go da ŋua bi yaajanba bogda mo.
22 What is it therefore? they will certainly hear that thou art come.
Ti ji ba tieni ledi i? Li naa pia tama ke bi kan gbadi ke a cua ne.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men that have a vow on them;
Lanwani ii, ŋan tieni tin ba waani a yaali. Niba na ye ne ki niani U Tienu bi ñɔnianu.
24 these take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges for them, that they may shave their heads: and all shall know that there is no truth in the things whereof they have been informed concerning thee; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law.
Taa li niba, fini yeni bani ń wuli ki ñani li kuali, ŋan pa bipo, ban kuo bi yudi. Lanwani ii, bi niba ba bandi ke ban maadi a po ya maama kuli tie tofaama. Bi ba bandi ke fini mɔko ŋua li bali yikodi.
25 But as touching the Gentiles that have believed, we wrote, giving judgment that they should keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication.
Ama yaali n nua bi nilanba yaaba tuo ki ga Jesu sanŋɔdma po, ti diani ba li tisɔnkaali, ki waani ba ke ban cuo bi yula yani i buli padjiema, yeni mi sɔma, yeni mu yansɔdkamu nandi yeni mi conconma.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them went into the temple, declaring the fulfilment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
Ke Pɔli taa li niba, ke li fiifandi ke o wuli yeni ba, ki ñani li kuali yeni ba, ki kua ku jaandiegu nni ki waani ban ba tieni ya dana yeni yukuli ń ba padi ya padli bi ŋanbma po.
27 And 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,
Ban den bili ya danleleda ń nagi gbenma, ke Juufinba ñani Asi ki, ki la Pɔli ku jaandiegu nni, ke bi maadi ki fiini bi niba pala, ki cuo Pɔli.
28 crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover he brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath defiled this holy place.
Bi den tandi ki tua “Israyeli niba, todi mani ti. Ya nilo n kpaagi ki tundi bi niba i kaankuli ya bona n ki cɔlni ti buolu, ti yikodi yeni tin kua naani ne. Lani baba ka; o go kuani bi nilanba ti jaandiegu nni, ki jɔgni lanya kaangagdiŋanmɔnu.”
29 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
Kelima bi den kpia ki la ke wani yeni Efesi yuaTrofima, ke bi yegi u dogu nni, ke bi maali ke o den kuani o ku jaandiegu nni i.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together; and they laid hold on Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and straightway the doors were shut.
Li ñɔgli den tieni u dogu nni kuli, ke bi niba sani ki taani, ki cuo Pɔli. Bi den dadi ki ñani ku jaandiegu nni, ki luoni a bulñɔna kuli.
31 And as they were seeking to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in confusion.
Ban jagi ke ban kpa o, ke li maama kua sejenba yudaano tubli nni ke Jerusalema kuli ye li ŋmadli nni i.
32 And forthwith he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down upon them: and they, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Lanyognu ke o taa sejenba ki sani ki jiidi ki pundi li ñɔgli kani. Bi niba ń sejenba yeni bi yudaano ke bi ŋa Pɔli yeni ti puadi.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and laid hold on him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Ke sejenba yudaano nagni ki cedi ke bi cuo Pɔli, ki cedi ke bi loli o yeni i kudseseli. Ke o buali wan tie yua yeni wan tieni yaali.
34 And some shouted one thing, some another, among the crowd: and when he could not know the certainty for the uproar, he commanded him to be brought into the castle.
Bi niba den tandi ki maadi maayenma, ke tianba mo maadi maatɔma. Nani seje yudaano ń kan den fidi ki maadi libakuli kelima ku fuugu po yeni, o den cedi ke bi gedi yeni Pɔli li kpaadidiepaali nni.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the crowd;
Ban den pundi a ŋmaada kani i, bi den tugi Pɔli kelima bi niba jadi den yabdi.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, Away with him.
Kelima ku niwulgu den ŋua puoli ki yigni ki tua, “Ban gbeni o maama!”
37 And as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say something unto thee? And he said, Dost thou know Greek?
Ban den bua kuani Pɔli li kpaadidiepaali nni ya yognu, ke o maadi seje yudaano, “N ba fidi ki maadi bonli i?” Seje yudaano ń buali o, “A maadi Gileki maama?
38 Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?
Lanwani ŋaa tie Ejipti jua yua n den fiini mi janjanma ki kuani jakɔnda tuda na mi fanpienma nni ka aa?
39 But Paul said, I am a Jew, of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and I beseech thee, give me leave to speak unto the people.
Pɔli ń yedi, “N tie Juufi, ki ñani Tarsi dociamu, Silisi diema nni. N tie dogcianmɔnu dotielo i. N mia ke ŋan cabi nni u sanu min maadi yeni ku niwulgu.
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with the hand unto the people; and when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Seje yudaano ń cabi o u sanu, ke Pɔli sedi a ŋmaada po ki duoni o nuu, ki gaani ki toli ku nilgu. Bi kuli ń suoni silbi, ke maadi ba Ebrewu maama nni ki yedi,
