Acts 21
1 So after disengaging ourselves from them we were able to set sail, and running a straight course we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Mbe mu mwanya ogwo chaliga chasigene nabho, chili mulugendo lwa Inyanja, nchigenda lugendo lumwi nichikinga mu musi gwa kosi, Mbe mwejo yendeko nichikinga mu musi gwa Rodo, nokusoka eyo nichikinga mu musi gwaPatara.
2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
Chejile chikabhona imeli inu yambhukaga okuja Foinike, chalinyile nichigenda mulugendo.
3 When we had sighted Cyprus we passed it on the left, sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, because it was there that the ship was to unload the cargo.
Chejile chikakinga imbhele ya lisinga lwa Kipro, nichiisiga kulubhala lwe bhumosi, mbe nchigendelela nchikinga Siria, nichilasa inanga mu musi gwa Tiro, kunsoga eyo niyo imeli yendaga okushola ebhinu bhinu yaliga iikile.
4 Upon finding disciples we stayed there seven days; these, through the Spirit, told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
Bhejile bhakabhalola abheigisibhwa, nichinyanja eyo naku musanju. Abheigisibhwa bhanu mbhamubhwila Paulo mu Mwoyo ati mwenene atataja Yerusalemu.
5 But when our time was up, as we left to go on our way, they all, including women and children, accompanied us out of the city, and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
Chejile chakumisha jinaku jilya, eswe nchisokao nchija Jeswe. Bhona amwi, na abhagasi bhwebhwe na bhana bhwebhwe, bhachiyelegesishe munjila jeswe okukinga Anu chasokele Anja yo musi. Okumala nichifukama kunjejekela, nchisabhwa, nichilagana na bhuli munu.
6 After we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship and they returned to their homes.
Nchilinya mu meli, eyo nabho bhasubha ikewebhwe lindi.
7 Now upon arriving in Ptolemais, the voyage from Tyre ended; so greeting the brothers we stayed with them one day.
Chejile chikamala olugendo lweswe okusoka Tiro, nchikinga Tolemai. Elya chakesishe abhasu no kwiyanja nabho kwo lunaku lumwi.
8 Leaving the next day, we came to Caesarea; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist (being of ‘the Seven’), we stayed with him.
Mwejo yendeko chemukile nichigenda Kaisaria. Eswe nichingila ika ewa Filipo, omusimusi wo musango gwo bhwana, oyo aliga umwi wa bhaliya musanju, neswe nichinyanja amwi nage.
9 (This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.)
Omunu unu aliga ali na abhayalakaji bhana bhayalajuma bhanu bhaliga nibhalikisha.
10 Now as we stayed there a number of days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Wejile enyanja eyo naku nyafuo, natelemuka okusoka bhuyaudi omulagi umwi oyo aliga nabhilikilwa Agabho.
11 Joining us he took Paul's belt, bound his feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘In this way, in Jerusalem, the Jews will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Omwene ejile kwiswe no kugega lifwata lwa Paulo. kugwo abhoyele amagulu na amabhoko gae omwene no kwaika, “Mwoyo Mwelu kaika kutya,” “Abhayaudi bha Yerusalemu abhaja omubhoya omunu unu kajotunga lifwata linu nabho abhamutula mu mabhoko ga bhanu bha maanga.”
12 Well, when we heard these things, both we and the local residents, we pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Chejile chongwa emisango ejo, eswe na bhanu bhanu bhaliga bhekae ebhala lilya nchimukomelesha Paulo asige kuja Yerusalemu.
13 But Paul answered: “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Nio Paulo nasubhya, “omukola chiya, omulila no kunyita omwoyo? Kulwo kubha nimalilie, atali okubhoywa-la, nawe no kufwila eyo Yerusalemu kulwa lisina lwa Latabugenyi.
14 When he would not be dissuaded, we stopped, saying, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
Kubhunu Paulo aliga atakwenda kukongibhwa, chasigile no kwaika,”mbe okwenda kwa Latabhugenyi kukoleke.
15 So after those days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
Okumala jinaku jinu, nichigega emifuko jeswe nichilinya okuja Yerusalemu.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to a certain Mnason, of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
Abheigisibhwa abhandi mbhasokao Kaisaria one mbhalubhana neswe. Nibhamuleta munu umwi oyo aliga natogwa Mnasoni, omunu wa Kipro, omwiigisibhwa wa kala, unu chenyanjile nage.
17 And when we arrived in Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly.
Chejile chakinga, Yerusalemu abhasu bhachikumile kwo bhukondeleywe.
18 The next day Paul, with us, went to see James, and all the elders were present.
Obhuchee bhendeko Paulo agendele amwi neswe ewa Yakobho, nabhakaluka bhona bhaliga bhalio.
19 After greeting them he reported one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Ejile amala obhukesha, nabhatondela chimwi chimwi ku ganu Nyamuanga akolaga mu bha maanga okulubhana ne milimu jae.
20 But after listening they ‘glorified’ the Lord by saying to him: “You see, brother, how many tens of thousands are the Jews who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law;
Omwanya ogwo Bhejile bongwa ago, bhamukusha Nyamuanga, no kumubhwila, “oulola, abhasu, bhalio bhiubhi billinga bhanu bhekilisishe mu bhayaudi. Abho bhona bhali ne bhiganilisho bhyo kugwata ebhilagilo.
21 but 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 nor to walk according to our customs.
Bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe ati owiigisha abhayaudi bhanu bhekae agati ya maanga no kusigana na Musa, na ati oubhabhwila bhasige okutenda abhana bhebhwe na bhasige jintugwa ja kala.
22 What then? The assembly will certainly gather, since they will hear that you have come.
Jichiile chikole atiki? Bhasige okwitimata-la abhajokungwa ati awe wejile.
23 So do this that we say to you: There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
Kulwejo nukole echo eswe chinu echikubhwila woli: Chili na bhanu bhana bhanu bhateyeo echilailo.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that there is nothing to the things that they have been informed about you; rather that you yourself are in line, keeping the law.
Bagege abhanu bhanu wiyeshe amwi nabho, na ubhaliile (igharama) yebhwe, koleleki bhamwege jinfwili ku mitwe jebhwe. Kwibhyo bhuli munu amenye ati emisango jinu bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe nijolulimi. Abhajo ukwiigila ati awe one oulubha ebhilagilo.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe we have written, having judged that they need observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from that offered to idols, from the blood, from anything strangled, and from fornication.”
Mbhe nawe emisango ja bhanyamaanga bhanu bhabhee bhekilisha, chandikile no kusosha amalagililo ati kubheile bhekenge na bhinu bhisosibhwe echogo kwe bhisusano na manyinga okulubhana echinyigwa, na bhekenge no obhulomesi.”
26 Then Paul took the men and purified himself with them; the next day he entered the temple to give notice of the completion of the days of purification, when the offering would be made for each one of them.
Niwo, Paulo abhagegele abhalume, no lunaku lwa kabhili, neyesha omwene amwi nabho nengila mu yekalu, okulasha omwanya gwa jinaku jo kwesibhwa, ebhiyana bhisosibhwe ku bhuli umwi webhwe.
27 Now when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, mobilized a whole crowd and seized him,
Jinaku ejo musanju jejile jafogela okuwa, abhayaudi abhandi okusoka Asia bhamulola Paulo mu yekalu, ne likofyanya nilibhabhiilibhwa, nibhamusomelesha na amabhoko.
28 shouting: “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Not only that, he has even brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place!”
Bhaliga mbhayogana, “abhanu bha Israeli, mchisakile. unu Ni munu oyo keigisha abhanu bha bhuli mbhala emisango ejo jitasikene na bhanu, ebhilagilo, no lubhala lunu. One abhaletele abhayunani mu yekalu no kunyamula anu bhuli obhwelu”
29 (They had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
okubha KU bhwambhilo bhamulolele Trofimo Muefeso ali amwi nage mu musi, nabho bhetogee ati Paulo amuletele mu yekalu.
30 The whole city was aroused and a mob of people formed. So having seized Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
Omusi gwona nigukangabhala, na bhanu nibhabhilima amwi no kumugwata Paulo, nibhamuulusha Anja ya I yekalu, emilyango nijigulwa.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Anu bhaliga bhalegeja okwenda okumwita, emisango jamukingie omukulu wa lijeshi lya Abhalisi ati Yerusalemu yona ijue inyombo.
32 He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down among them, and when they saw the commander and the soldiers they stopped beating Paul.
Omwanya ogwo nabhagega abhasilikale no mkulu bhebhwe nabhilimila liinjo. Omwanya ogwo abhasilikale nibhasiga okumbhuma Paulo.
33 Then the commander came up and took hold of him, commanded that he be bound with two chains, and started inquiring who he was and what he had done.
Okumala omkulu wa lijeshi bhamfogelee no kumugwata Paulo, nalagilila abhoywe eminyololo ebhili. nabhusha omwene ninga na akoleleki.
34 Well some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another; so when he could not ascertain the truth, because of the uproar, he commanded him to be taken into the barracks.
Abhanu abhandi mwiijo bhaliga nibhamwaya ingulu abhandi kutya na bhandi kutyo. kwo kubha omukulu wa abhasilikale atatulile kubhabhwila Chona chona KU nsonga ya inyombho nalagilila Paulo mbhamute munda ya libhoelo.
35 When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob.
Mbe Ejile akinga KU bhilinyilo, nagegwa na abhasilikale ku nsonga ya inyombho ya liijo.
36 Because the crowd kept following and shouting, “Away with him!”
Okubha liijo lwa abhanu bhamulubhile mbhagendelela okuyobhegana, unu “mumusosheo.
37 As Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, “May I speak to you?” So he said: “Do you know Greek?
Paulo ejile asilwa mwibhoyelo agati, amubhilie omukulu wa abhasilikale, “enitula okukubhwila echinu?” Omukulu wa abhasilikale naika, “Mbe owaika echiyunani?”
38 Aren't you the Egyptian who some time ago started a revolt and led the four thousand men of ‘the Assassins’ out into the wilderness?”
Angu awe utali mu misiri ulya oyo kubhambhilo atangasishe obhunyamuke no kugega abhakuti bha bhanu bhiumbhi bhina ibhala?”
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of a not insignificant city; but I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
Paulo naika, “anye ndi Muyaudi, okusoka mu musi gwa Tarso ogwa Kilikia anye nili mwenengo wa mu musi gwa insonga. Enibhasabhwa, munyikilisishe naike na bhanu.
40 So when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs and motioned to the people with his hand. When there was a great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
Omwanya ogwo omukulu wa abhasilikale Ejile amwikilisisha, Paulo nemelegulu ku bhilinyilo no kusosha echibhalikisho ku bhanu kwo kubhoko kwaye. Omwanya ogwo gwejile gwabha no bhujibhilie muno, naika nabho mululimi lwe chiebrania. Naika,
