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.
Twavile tulekhehine navo, tugenda muganja, tukhafikha moja khwa moja mumbunchege kwa khukosi, ikhigono ikhyavili tukhafikha mumbunchege uwa Rodo, ukhuhuma ukhu tukhafikha mumbunchage kwa Patara.
2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and set sail.
Twavile tukhavile igalava iyilovokha ukhuluta khui Foinike, tukhitoga tulikhugenda.
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.
Twavile tufikhe khuvulugolo khukhisiva ikhya Kipro, tukhayelekha ikhivokho ikhya khuhege, tukhagenda mpakha khu Siria, tukhagatalukha mumbunchege uwa mu Tiro, ulwakhuva ukhwa igalava vaisyaga imichiga.
4 Upon finding disciples we stayed there seven days; these, through the Spirit, told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
Vutuvawene avakongi, tukhatama ukhu ifigono saba. Avakhongi ava vakhambula u-Pavuli ukhugendela khu Mepo ukhuta umwene alekhe ukhuluta khu Yelusalemu.
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.
Twavile tumalile isikhu ila, ufwe tukhahega tulikhuluta. Twevoni paninie, navadala vavo na vana vavo, vakhatuvikhilincha khunjila ncheto mpakha twavile tukhumile khunji. Khuvunchege tukhafugama, tukhadova, tukhalekhehana khela munu.
6 After we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship and they returned to their homes.
Tukhitoga igalava, ukhu avevalikhuvuya khunjavoyo khavili.
7 Now upon arriving in Ptolemais, the voyage from Tyre ended; so greeting the brothers we stayed with them one day.
Twavile tumalile isafwari yeto ukhuma khu Tiro, tukhafikha khu Tolemai. Pala tukhaponia avalukhu, tukhatama navo ikhigono khimo.
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.
Ilya khilavo tukhahega tukhaluta khu Kaisaria. Ufwe tukhigela munyumba iya Filipo, udumbeleli va limenyu, avealepaninie na vala saba, nafwe tukhatama paninie nave.
9 (This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.)
Umunu uyu alenavakhencha vane uvusavahudekhile avene valagulaga.
10 Now as we stayed there a number of days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Twavile tutamile ukhu akhikha uyamalago ukhuhuma khu Vuyahudi alikhutambuliwa Agabo.
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.’”
Umwene akhincha khulyufwe pwu akhatola ukhanda gwa Pavuli. akhikuga amalunde namavokho ga mwene nu khunchova, “Umepo Umbalanche inchova nde,” “Avayahudi ava mu Yerusalemu vikhukhuga umunu uveilolela ukhanda ugu, pwa avene vikhumbikha mumavokho ga vanyapanji.”
12 Well, when we heard these things, both we and the local residents, we pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Twavile tupulikhe inogwa incho, ufwe paninie na vanu avatamaga pala tukhadova u-Pavuli alekhe ukhutoga ukhuluta khu 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.”
Pwu u-Pavuli akhanda, “Mwigakha ndeti mwilela nukhudeya amakha gago? Ulwakhuva nilitayari, sio ukhukugiwa, hata ukhufwila ukwa khu Yerusalemu khulitawa Ntwa uYesu.”
14 When he would not be dissuaded, we stopped, saying, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”
Ulwakhuva u-Pavuli salikhunogwa ukhuvuliwa, tukhelekhelwa ukhunchuva, “Uvunogwe wa Ntwa vikhogiwagwe.”
15 So after those days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
Tukhatola imielugo gweto tulikhutoga ukhuluta khu Yelusalemu.
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.
Avage avakhongi ukhuhuma khu Kaisalia tukhakhogenehaninia nufwe. Vakhagega umunu yumo alikhutambuliwa Mnasoni, umunu uva khu Kipro, ukhogi uvakhatali, uvitwale nave.
17 And when we arrived in Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly.
Twavile tifikhe khu Yerusalemu, avalukolo vakhatwambilila khuluhekhelo.
18 The next day Paul, with us, went to see James, and all the elders were present.
Ilya khilavo uPavuli akhaluta paninie nufwe khwa Yakobo, avadyakhoni voni valepwuvale.
19 After greeting them he reported one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Twavile tuvaponinche, alikhuvapa indegilo yemo yemo incha mbombo ncha Nguluve inchuavombile nifilunga ukhugendela imbombo ya mwene.
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;
Vavile vapulikhe incho, vakhaginia Unguluve, nukhuvunimbila, “Wilola, lukholo, ulwiemaelfu galengi vidikhe ukhuluma khuVayuta. Voni vinogwa ukhwibata indegilo.
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.
Vavuliwe uve ukhuta vumayisya Avayahudi avitama khuvuyapanzi ukhulekhehona nu Mose, nukhuta vukhuvavula valekhe ukhukoga iyikho incha khatari.
22 What then? The assembly will certainly gather, since they will hear that you have come.
Tunogiwa tugahendeti? vipulikha ukhuta uve winelile.
23 So do this that we say to you: There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
Pwu uvombe khila ikhyutukhuvula lino: tuli navanu vane avavikhiwe nekhelo.
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.
Vavoleavanu avawivalanche yuve paninie navene, pwu uvahombele indalama nchavene, vakhate imitwe giavene. Pwu khila munu alumanye ukhuta inogwa inchuvakhavuliwe ukhuhusu uve ncha vudesi. Vimeyila ukhuta uve vukonga indagilo.
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.”
Khunogwa incha vanyapanji uvuvene vavile vakilisite, tukhasimbile nukhuhumya ululagilo ukhuta vinogiwa ukhufilekha ifinu ifya khumatekhelo nukhisa, ukhuluma ulukhila ikhyuvaniogwile, vavulekhe uvuligu.”
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.
Pwu, u-Pavuli akhavatola avagosi isikhu iyavile akhivalancha umwene paninie navo, akhigila Mutembile, ukhulagila usikhe ugwa sikhu incha khuevalancha impaka isadakha yekhuminchiwe khuvulila munu.
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,
Isikhu incho saba nchavile chikhegelile ukhusila, Avayahudi vadebe ukhuhuma khu Asia vakhambona u-Pavuli Mutembile, avakeresite vakhavipa, valikhumwinulila amavokho.
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!”
Valikhu pwuta, “Vanu vakhu Israeli, tutage. Uyu ve munu uveimayisya avanu khila ponu inogwa inchilitofauti na vanu, indegilo, ncha apa. Pwu akhuvagega Avayunani Mutembile nukhupananga pavuvalanche.”
29 (They had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.)
Ulwakhuva pakhutagula vakhambwene Trofimo Mwefeso akhale nave mumbuchege, avene valikhusaga ukhuta u-Pavuli agegile mutembile.
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.
Uvunchege woni vakhava nuludwada avanu vakhayilapanie nukhumwibata u-Pavuli. Vakhagumia mu Tembile, imilya gu gikhadediwa.
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came to the commander of the garrison that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Wuvigela ukhumbuda, inogwa neivikha fikhile usikhakhali umbakha ukhuta khu Yelusalemu khwoni khudegile ifujo.
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.
Usikhe ugwa akhavatola avasikhali alikhuyila khululundamano. Avanu vavile vambwene umbaha va vasikhali, na vasikhali vakhelekhelwa ukhunto u-Pavuli.
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.
Umbakha vavasikhali akhakhegelela akhamwibata u-Pavuli, akhalamula akhugiwe imiregekhe gevile. Akhambucha umwene veni na agakhile khikhi.
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.
Avanu palulundamano valikhupwuta uyuge ili uyuge ulwakhuva ambakha va vasikhali savavule khinu ukhukogana nu ywego. Akhalagila u-Pavuli vagelikhe munyumba.
35 When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the mob.
Avile ifikha mugeto akhatoliwa na vasikhali ukhuhumana nifujo ncha vayalulumdamano.
36 Because the crowd kept following and shouting, “Away with him!”
Ululundano lwe vanu valikhukoga nu khupwata, “Mugenche uyu!”
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?
U-Pavuli avileikhelekhiwa mugati akhambula umbakha va vasikhali, “Niwesya ukhukhuvula ikhinu?” Umbakha va vasikhali akhata, “Winchova ikhi Yunani?
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?”
Uve, siyo veve Imisiri uvealonginche uvutulanogwa, akhatola avabudi elfu nne khufwimba?”
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.”
U-Pavuli ukhata, “Une nili Njahudi, ukhuhuma mumbuchege uwa khu Tarso iya khu Kilikia. Une nilivambunchege uvuvakha, nidova, mnavuleninchove na vanu.”
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:
Avile umbakha va vasikhali antamile, u-Pavuli akhima mugeto akhahumya eishala khuvanu khukhivokho khya mwene. Ulwale mie, akhanchovanavo khukhi Ebrania. Akhata,
