Acts 21
1 And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
Mpotwalapwisha kulayana, twalafumako twalenda mu bwato ne kululama ku Kosi. Busuba bwakonkapo twalashika ku Lodi, kufuma uko twalaya ku Patala.
2 And as there was a ship going to Phoenicia, we went in it.
Mpotwalashika, twalacana bwato bwali kuya ku Foinike, twalatanta ne kuya.
3 And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.
Lino mpotwalashika pamusena mpotwalikukonsha kubona nsumbu ya Saipulasi, twalabembuluka cakucipiko, mpaka twalashika ku Siliya kucito ca Tulo nkobalalongololamo bintu byalikuba mu bwatomo.
4 And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
Kopeloko twalacanako beshikwiya nabambi mbotwalekala nabo masuba asanu ne abili. Abo balamwambila Paulo, kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti kataya ku Yelusalemu.
5 And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,
Mpwalapwa masuba akwikala nabo, twalafumako ne kupitilisha bulwendo bwetu, beshikwiya bonse pamo ne bamakashabo ne bana babo balatushindikila mpaka kunsa kwa munshi. Twalasuntama ne kupaila pa museya mulombe pepi ne lwenje.
6 We said our last words to one another, and got into the ship, and they went back to their houses.
Mpotwalalayana balo balabwelela kumanda kwabo, afwe twalengila mu bwato.
7 And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day.
Twalapitilisha bulwendo bwetu mu bwato kufuma ku Tulo, ne kushika ku Pitolemasi uko nkotwalapa mitende banse ne kwikalako busuba bumo.
8 And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.
Busuba bwakonkapo twalanyamuka ne kuya kushika ku Kaisaleya. Twalekala kung'anda ya Filipo mukambaushi wa Mulumbe Waina, umo wa batuloba basanu ne babili basa balasalwa kunyamfwilisha mu Yelusalemu.
9 And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophets.
Filipo walikukute bana batukashi bashike bana, balikuba bashinshimi.
10 And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea.
Mpokwalapita masuba angi, kwalesa mushinshimi walafumina ku Yudeya walikukwiweti Agaba.
11 And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.
Walesa kuli njafwe ne kumanta mukopo wa Paulo, ne kulisunga mwine ku makasa ne ku myendo, ne kwambeti, “Mushimu Uswepa, ulambangeti, mwine mukopo uwu, Bayuda bamu Yelusalemu ni bakamusunge mbuli ncendalisungu, ni bakamutwale mu makasa abantu bakunsa.”
12 And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem.
Mpotwalanyumfwa maswi alico, afwe pamo ne bantu balikuba uko, twalamusenga Paulo kwambeti katayako ku Yelusalemu.
13 Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Nsombi nendi Paulo walakumbuleti, “Mulalilishanyanga aconi ne kumpa buyowa? Ndalibambila, nteko kuya kusungwa konka sobwe, nsombi kuya kufwila kopeloko mu Yelusalemu pacebo ca lina lya Mwami Yesu.”
14 And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done.
Mpotwalaboneti tulalilwa kumukanisha, twalamuleka, twalambeti, “Kuyanda kwa Mwami kwinshike.”
15 And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
Panyuma pa kwikalako masuba ang'ana, twalalongela bintu byetu ne kuya ku Yelusalemu.
16 And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.
Twalaya pamo ne beshikwiya nabambi baku Kaisaleya. Balatushikisha kung'anda ya muntu walikukwiweti Munasoni waku Saipulasi, nkotwalikuba twelela kwikala. Walikuba shikwiya kwa byaka bingi.
17 And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us.
Mpotwalashika mu Yelusalemu, banse balatutambula cena.
18 And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.
Busuba bwakonkapo, Paulo ne njafwe twense pamo twalaya kubona Jemusi. Twalacanako bamakulene bamubungano kabali babungana.
19 And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles.
Popelapo, Paulo walabapa mitende ne kubambila cena bintu byonse Lesa mbyalensa ku bantu bakunsa, kupitila mu ncito yakendi.
20 And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law:
Mpobalanyumfwa makani awa balamutembaula Lesa, ne kumwambila Paulo, eti, “Obe mwanse wetu, Paulo, kobona kufula kwa bina ne bina bya Bayuda bashoma muli Mwami, bonse bacinka manungo mu Milawo ya Mose.”
21 And they have had news of you, how you have been teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to give up the law of Moses, and not to give circumcision to their children, and not to keep the old rules.
“Bonse aba balambilweti obe uleyishinga Bayuda bonse bekala mubishi nabimbi kwambeti baleke kukonkela Milawo ya Mose. Kayi bambilweti kabata palulanga bana babo, nambi kukonkela miyambo ya bakulukulu.
22 What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.
Aba bantu ni banyumfweti ulesa.
23 Do this, then, which we say to you: We have four men who have taken an oath;
Neco, leka tukwambile nceti winse. Kuno kuli batuloba bana abo balalumbila kuli Lesa.
24 Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.
Koya nabo batuloba aba ku Nganda ya Lesa, wenga uliswepeshe pamo nendibo kwelana ne mwambo. Kufumapo ubalipilile kwambeti baceswe mishishi. Wenseco, bantu bonse nibakenshibeti byonse mbyebambanga pa linjobe ni byakubepa, anu ne njobe ukute kukonkela Milawo ya Mose.
25 But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.
Ku bantu ba mishobo naimbi abo balashoma Mwami Yesu, twalabalembela kalata ya kubenshibisha ncetwalasuminishana. Twalasuminishaneti, nkabelela kulya byakulya bikute kupewa milumbo kutumbwanga, nambi kulya milopa, nambi kulya nyama yalifwila ne kutensa bufule.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.
Neco busuba bwakonkapo, Paulo walaya ne batuloba bana ne kuliswepesha pamo nabo. Kufumapo walaya mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kuya kubenshibisha bantu sha bushiku mbweshi bakapwishe kuliswepesha kwabo mpweti akababengele milumbo kuli Lesa batuloba basa umo ne umo.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the Temple, got the people together and put their hands on him,
Mpwalikuba pepi kupwa masuba asanu ne abili akuliswepesha, Bayuda nabambi ba kucishi ca Asiya pakumubona Paulo mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, balayungaula likoto lya bantu ne kumwikata Paulo.
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.
Balabilikisheti, “Batuloba amwe Baislayeli, kamwisani mutunyamfwe! Uyu emuntu usa wayanga kwiyisha bantu kuli konse, sha kwipisha bene Islayeli, ne Milawo ya Mose, kayi ne Ng'anda ya Lesa ino. Lalete bantu bakunsa mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, lasafwanya musena waswepa uno.”
29 For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.
Balambeco pakwinga balabona mutuloba walikukwiweti Tulofimo waku Efenso, kali pamo ne Paulo mu munshi, neco balayeyeti Paulo la mumanta kuya nendi mu Ng'anda ya Lesa.
30 And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.
Neco mushi wonse walesula ne mipyopyongano. Bantu bonse balabundumukila kuya kwikata Paulo, ne kumupulisha pansa pa Ng'anda ya Lesa. Pacindico balacala bisasa bya ku Ng'anda ya Lesa.
31 And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.
Cindi ncebali kuyanda kumushina Paulo, makani awa alanyufwika ku mukulene wa bashilikali bonse Baciloma eti mu munshi wonse wa Yelusalemu mulesulu mipyopyongano.
32 And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.
Mwa bwangu bwangu mukulene wa bashilikali bonse, walamanta bamakulene ba bashilikali, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi ne kubundumukila ku bantu abo balikwinsa mipyopyongano. Mpobalamubona kesa pamo ne bashilikali, balacileka kumuma Paulo.
33 Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.
Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walaya kuli Paulo kuya kumwikata. Walambila bashilikali nabambi kwambeti bamusunge ncetani shibili, lino walepusheti, “Inga muntuyu niyani, kayi nicani ncalenshi?”
34 And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.
Bantu balatatika kubilikisha kabamba cambe ambe, umo wambeci, naumbi wambeco. Kwalabowa kuyobeka cakwinseti mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walalilwa kucana cine cine calaletelesha mipyopyongano. Neco walambila bashilikali eti bamutwale Paulo kunkambe ya bashilikali.
35 And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;
Paulo mpobalamushikisha pa kutantila kuya munkambe yabo, bashilikali balamunyamuna pakwinga bantu balikuyanda kumulya bubesu.
36 For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!
Bonse bantu balikumukonkela balikubilikisheti, “Mushineni!”
37 And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?
Lino bashilikali kabali pepi kumwingisha Paulo munkambe, walambila mukulene wa bashilikali, eti, “Ndasengengeti ndimwambileko cintu nacimbi.” Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walambeti, “Sena ucinshi kwamba Cigiliki?
38 Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?
Anu sena ntobe mwine Injipito usa walaleta mipyopyongano ya kubukila bwendeleshi cisa cindi, ne kutangunina bakapondo myanda makumi ana, kuya nabo mucinyika?”
39 But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.
Paulo walakumbuleti, “Ame nde Muyuda, ndalasemenwa mu munshi wa Taliso, munshi wayampuwo mucishi conse ca Kilikiya. Ndasengenga kwambeti ng'ambeko ne bantu aba.”
40 And when he let him do so, Paul, from the steps, made a sign with his hand to the people, and when they were all quiet, he said to them in the Hebrew language,
Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse usa walamusuminisha. Lino Paulo walemana pa kutantila ne kutandabula cikasa kubamwenesha bantu. Mpobalamwena bonse tonto Paulo walamba mu mulaka wa Cihebeli, walambeti,
