Acts 21
1 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.
Niwa ki hi don ba ni vu zren hu nkon mma, ki hu tri me hi ni gbu Cos, e ni bi wa aka hua ni gbu Rhodes, mba rhini ki hi ni gbu patra.
2 And having found a ship passing over into Phoenicia, we went on board and sailed;
Niwa ki to jirgima wa a ta ru hini Funisiya, ki ri huba dran hi.
3 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.
Hu wa ki nzu shishi to Cyprus, ki kawdon ni wo mrha wu kpran jirgia, ki dran hi ni Syria, ndi ka kukri ni Tyre, bubu wa kikle jirgi a ta ju kpi wa anjia.
4 And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
Hu wa ki to mri ko bihuba, ki kii ni ki wu vi tangban. Hu kpere sron brji, basi yo tre ni Bulus du na hi Urushelima na.
5 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.
Niwa ivimbu niki a kle, ki donba ni kunkon mbu, i wawumbu, baba mbamba ni mri mba ba huta zren rjuni gbu'a. Niki ki kukwu ngbarju ni nyu kpe tre ma'a ni bre Irji,
6 And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home.
ni tre ndi se vi ri niki ki rini jirgi'a, i ba kma hi komba.
7 And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them.
Niwa ki kle zren mbu rji ni Tyre, ki ye ni Ptolemais. Niki chi mri vayi ba ni son niba wu vi ri.
8 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.
Nivi wa a hu kima ki hi ni Kaisariya. Ki ri ni ko Filibus, ndji wu zren ni bla tre Irji, wa ana iri nimi tangban ba, ndi ka son niwu.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
Inji yi a he ni mri mba nza wa bana to lilon na, i bata nran kpi bi ye ni ko shishi.
10 And as we stayed there many days, a certain man, by name Agabus, a prophet, came down from Judaea,
Niwa ki kii niki wu vi fon bran, indji ri wa ri to koshishi, ni nde Agabus, grji ye rhi ni Judiya.
11 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.
A ye nita nda ban rjirji trii Bulus. Niki a lo za mba woma ni rjirji trii'a nda tre ndi, “Ikpe wa Brji Tsatsra ni tre'a, toki Yahudawa bi Urushelima ba lo indji wu rjirji trii yi, i ba vuu yo ni wo Bikora.”
12 And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place besought [him] not to go up to Jerusalem.
Niwa ki wo kpi biyi, kita baba indji wa ba ki ni ki, ki krubre Bulus ni du na hi ni Urushelima na.
13 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.
Niki Bulus a sa bawu ndi, “Bisi ti ngye, kpa gro nini yra me sron? Mi kpanyime ndi du ba na lo me negen na, mba du me kwu ngame ni Urushelima nitu nde Bachi Yesu.”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Nitu wa Bulus na kma sron ni bre mba na, ki son ngbangbi ni lu tre ndi, “Du kpe wa Irji kpanyime niwu du he toki.”
15 And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.
Hu vi biyi, ki vu ba mbu zren mbu ni hi ni Urushelima.
16 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.
Mri ko bi hu bari wa ba rhini Kasariya ba huta ngame. Ba nji indji ri wu nde Mnason, indji wu Cyprus, nha ni kpamba, wa ana he ni mi bi mri ko bi hu, wa ki hi ki niwu.
17 And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.
Niwa ki ye ri ni Urushelima, mri vayi ba ba kpata ni wo ha ni ngyiri.
18 And on the morrow Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders came there.
Nivi wa a ka hu ki, Bulus a njita hi ni ko Yakubu, i bi chiche ba bana he niki.
19 And having saluted them, he related one by one the things which God had wrought among the nations by his ministry.
Niwa a chi ba, a vu bla ni yiyri kpi wa Irji a ti nimi Bikora ni nkon ndu wa a ti'a.
20 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.
Niwa bawo kima ba gbre san ni Irji, nda hlawu ndi, “Wu to, vayi, ka indji dubu bren ni mi Yahudawa ba ba kpanyime. Ba yo sron kri gbangban ndi ba hu du a.
21 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.
Ba hla bawu nitu me, ndi wu tsro Yahudawa wa baki nimi Bikora'a du ba ka Musa don, mba ndi wu hla bawu dubu na yoyi ni mri mba, mba du bana zren nitu nkon ba tii na.
22 What is it then? a multitude must necessarily come together, for they will hear that thou art come.
Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
23 This do therefore that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
24 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.
Vuu indji ba ni ngla kpame niba, ni han nklen ni tumba, ni du ba kron nfutu mba. Ko nha ni to ndi kpe wa ba bla nitu me a hi che. Ba to ndi iwu ngame wu son tsra, nini hu du'a.
25 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.
I nitu Bikora wa ba kpanyime'a, ki nha nitu krimbu ndi duba chu kpamba ti nkan ni kpi wa ba ton ni kpi bi brji, ni iyi, ni kpe ba wuu ni nkon nduto, mba ni ti fa'a.”
26 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.
Niki Bulus a vuu indji ba, i ni vi wa aka hu'a, a ngla kpama bi ni babaa. Niki ba ri hi ni mi hekali, yo tre ni zi ndi vi wu nglakpa ani ye he toki, i ba nu beko nitu yiyri mba.
27 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,
Niwa vi tangban ba ba ye kle, Yahudawa bari rhini Asiya, ni ku shishi ni bulus ni mi hekalia, chon kpaandji ba nfu, nda yo wo nitu ma.
28 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.
Ba sia kpa gro ndi, “Indji bi Israila, zo ta. Indji yi yi ni tsro ndji wawu kagon, kpi wa ahi nkan ni kri mba, ni dua, mba ni bubu yi. Hama kima me, a nji indji bi Greek bari ye ni mi hekali nda kpa bubu tsatsra yi ti meme.”
29 For they had before seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
Nitu bana to Trofimus, gu wu Afisus niwu nimi gbua, nda yo ndi Bulus a nji ba ri ni mi hekali.
30 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.
Igbu'a wawu a chu nzan, i indji ba ba yo tsu ka vu Bulus. Ba gbiwu rju ni hekalia, nda kaa nkon ba gbagbla.
31 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;
Niwa ba ta son wuu, tu tre a ye ri ni ton kapti wu bi gben ndji Urushelima wawu ni kri gro tsishishi.
32 who, taking with him immediately soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. But they, seeing the chiliarch and the soldiers, ceased beating Paul.
Niki a tsi kri vu bi lokpa baba bi ya ndji deri ri, nda tsutsu grji nimi jbu indji ba. Niwa indji ba ba to ninkon kaptin mba bi lokpa ba, ba donme ni tsi Bulus.
33 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.
Niki ninkon kapti a zren hi ka vu Bulus, nda mmha yo ndi du ba lowu ni sraka ha. Niki a mye ka a hi nha mba a hi ngye wa a tia.
34 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.
Bari nimi jbu indji ba ba kpagro kperi i bari kpe nkan. Niwa kaptia ana mla to tu tre'a na, nitu hanton mba, a yo ba du ba nji Bulus hi ni bubu wa ba mla ziri.
35 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.
Niwa a zren ye ni bubu ban za grji'a, bi lokpa a ba banwu nitu nfu jbu indji ba.
36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
37 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?
Niwa bataa nji Bulus ye ni bubu wu mlazia, a tre ni ninkon kaptia, ndi “Wu kpanyime ni du mi hla kpe niwu?” Kaptia a tre ndi, “Wu tre lan Greek?
38 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?
Ana wuyi igu masra wa alu kpagbu tsi nda gbron indji dubu nza u bi wuundi rju hi ni miji'a na?”
39 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.
Bulus a tre ndi, Mi ndi Yahudawa, rji ni gbu Tarsus ni Cilicia. Mina vren meme wu gbu wa a hi fii me na. Mi bre, du me tre ni indji ba.
40 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,
Niwa kaptin a nu kpanyime'a, Bulus a lu kri ni bubu ban zaa nda ti wo ni indji ba. Niwa bubua a ti gbi me, a tre niba ni lan Ibraniyawa ba. A tre nde,
