Acts 21
1 After we had said goodbye to them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes. From there we went to Patara
Wakati tulekene nabhu, na twisafiri mu bahari, twafikili moja kwa moja mu mji bhwa Kosi, ni kilabhu jhiake twafikili mji bhwa Rodi, ni kuhoma okhu twafikili mji bhwa Patara.
2 where we found a ship going to Phoenicia. We went on board and set sail.
Bhotukabhili meli jhajhilobhoka kulota Foinike, twakwelili twasafiri.
3 We passed within sight of Cyprus on the left, and continued on to Syria where we landed at Tyre, where the ship's cargo was to be unloaded.
Bhotufikiri palongolo jha kisiwa kya Kipro, tukajhileka lubhafu lwa kushoto, twasafiri hadi Siria, tukabheka nanga mu mji bhwa Tiro, kwandabha okhu ndo meli jhilondekeghe ipakulibhwayi shehena jha muene.
4 We found the believers and stayed there for a week. Through the Holy Spirit the believers told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Baada jha kubhabhona bhanafunzi, twatamili okhu magono saba. Bhanafunzi abha bhakan'jobhela Paulo kupetela kwa Roho kwamba muene asikanyi Yerusalemu.
5 When the time was up, we left and went back to the ship to continue our journey. All the believers, and wives and children, accompanied us as we left the city. We kneeled down on the beach and prayed, and said our goodbyes.
Hata bho tutimisi magono ghala, tete twabhokili tukakilotela, bhoha pamonga, ni bhadala bhabhi ni bhana bhabhi, bhatusindikisi mu njela sa jhofo hadi bho tuhomi kwibhala jha mji. Kisha twapigili magoti mu masimbale, twasokili, twalaghene khila mmonga.
6 Then we boarded the ship, and they went back home.
Twakweli meli, khoni na bhene bhakakerebhuka kunyumba jha bhene kabhele.
7 Our voyage from Tyre ended at Ptolemais where we greeted the believers and stayed with them for a day.
Hata bho tumalili safari jha jhoto kuhoma Tiro, twafikili Tolemai. Pala twasalimili bhalongobhitu, na twatamili okhu kwa ligono limonga.
8 The next day we left and went to Caesarea. We stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist (one of the Seven).
Kilabhu jhiake tukabhoka tukalota Kaisaria. Tete twajhingili munyumba jha Filipo, muhubiri bhwa injili, jhaajhele mmonga ghwa bhala saba, natu twatamili pamonga ni muene.
9 Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
Munu ojho ajhele ni bhabinti bhancheche mabikra ambabho bhatabiri.
10 After we'd stayed there for several days, a prophet called Agabus arrived from Judea.
Baada jhakutama okhu kwa magono kadhaa, akaselela kuhoma Uyahudi nabii mmonga jhaakutibhwe gha Agabo.
11 Approaching us, he took Paul's belt, and bound his own hands and feet. Then he said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will hand him over to the foreigners.’”
Muene akahida kwa tete ni kuuleta n'kanda ghwa Paulo. kwa obhu akakikhongili magolo ni mabhoko gha muene ni kujobha, “Roho Mtakatifu ijobha naha,” “Bhayahudi bha Yerusalemu bhibetakun'konga munu jhaimiliki n'kanda obho, nabhene bhibetakun'karibisi mu mabhoko gha bhanu bha mataifa.”
12 When we heard this, we and the believers there pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Bhotupeliki mambo aghu, tete ni bhanu bhabhatameghe pala twansihi Paulo asikweli kulota Yerusalemu.
13 However, Paul answered, “What are you doing, crying and breaking my heart? I'm ready not only to be bound in Jerusalem, but to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus.”
Ndipo Paulo ajibili, “Mwibhomba kiki, mwilela ni kunivunja muoyo ghwa nene? Kwa ndabha nijhe tayari siyo tu kufungibhwa, lakini pia kufwelela okhu Yerusalemu kwandabha jha lihina lya Bwana Yesu.”
14 Since he couldn't be persuaded otherwise we gave up, and said, “May the Lord's will be done.”
Kwa vile Paulo alondelepi kushawishibhwa, twalekili ni kujobha, “Basi mapenzi gha Bwana ghabhombekayi.”
15 After this we packed our bags and headed for Jerusalem.
Baada jha magono agha, twatolili mifuku ghitu ni kukwela Yerusalemu.
16 Some of the believers from Caesarea came with us, and they took us to the home of Mnason, where we were going to stay. He came from Cyprus and was one of the early believers.
Baadhi jha bhanafunzi kuhoma Kaisaria kabhele bhalongosene hatu. Bandetili munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Mnasoni, munu ghwa Kipro, mwanafunzi ghwa muandi, ambajhe twataminakhu.
17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers there welcomed us warmly.
Bho tufikili Yerusalemu bhalongobhitu bhatukaribisi kwa furaha.
18 The next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church leaders were there.
Kilabhu jhiake Paulo alotili pamonga ni tete kwa Yakobo, ni bhaseya bhoha bhajhele.
19 After greeting them, Paul went through in detail everything God had done for the foreigners through his ministry.
Baada jha kubhaponesya, abhapelili taarifa jhimonga baada jha jhenge jha mambo ambagho K'yara aghabhombili miongoni mwa mataifa kupetela huduma jhiake.
20 When they heard what had happened they praised God and told Paul, “Brother, you can see how many thousands of Jews have come to trust in the Lord, and they all keep the Law very carefully.
Wakati bhapeliki aghu, bhakan'sifu K'yara ni kun'jobhela, “Wilola, ndongo, kujha ni maelfu bhalenga bhakyeriri miongoni mwa Bhayahudi. Bhene bhoha bhajhe ni nia jha kukamula sheria.
21 They have been told that you teach Jews living among the foreigners to ignore the Law of Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to follow our customs.
Bhajobhibu kuhusu bhebhe, kujha ifundisya Bhayahudi bhabhitama kati jha mataifa kulekana ni Musa, ni kwamba ukabhajobhela bhasibhatairi bhana bhabhi, na bhasikesi desturi sya muandi.
22 So what should we do about it? People will certainly get to hear that you've arrived here.
Twilondeka tukheta kiki? Bila shaka bhibetakupeleka bhebhe uhidili.
23 This is what we want you to do: Four men among us have taken a vow.
Efyo bhombayi khila tete kyatukujobhela henu: tujhe ni bhanu bhancheche ambabho bhabhekili nadhiri.
24 Go with them and perform the purification rituals with them, paying for them to have their heads shaved. That way everyone will know there's no truth to the rumors they've heard about you, but that you yourself observe the Law in the way that you live.
Bhatolayi bhanu abha ni ukitakasiayi wa muene pamonga nabhu, na ubhalepayi gharama sya bhene, ili bhabhwesiayi kukasa mitu ghya bhene. Efyo khila mmonga akabhayi kumanya kujha mambo ghabhajobhibhu kuhusu bhebhe gha udesi. Bhibetakusimanyisya kujha bhebhe kabhele ghwikesya sheria.
25 As to the foreigners who have trusted the Lord, we already wrote a letter regarding our decision that they should refrain from eating food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from any animal that is strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
Lakini kwa habari sya bhamataifa ambabho bhajhele bhaumini, twalembilli ni kupisya malaghisu kwamba bhilondeka kwijhepusya ni fenu fya fipisibhu dhabihu kwa sanamu, ni damu, kutokana ni khela kya kiniyongibhu, na bhakiepushayi ni uasherati.”
26 So Paul took the men with him, and the next day went and purified himself with them. Then he went to the Temple to give notice regarding the end of the time of purification and the offering which would be made for each of them.
Ndipo, Paulo abhaletili bhagosi, ni ligono lya pili, akakitakasa muene pamonga nabhu, akajhingila mu hekalu, kipindi kya ligono lya kwitakasya hadi sadaka kupisibhwa kwa ndabha jha khila mmonga bhabhi.
27 The seven days were almost over when some Jews from Asia saw Paul in the Temple and incited the crowd against him and seized him.
Magono aghu saba bho ghakaribili kumalika, baadhi jha Bhayahudi kuhoma Asia bhakambona Paulo mu hekalu, ni makutano bhakadada, ni kun'sosolela mabhoko.
28 “Men of Israel, help!” they shouted. “This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere to oppose our people, the Law, and the Temple. He's also brought Greeks into the Temple, defiling this holy place.”
Bhakajha bhijhwegha, “Bhanu bha Israeli, tutangatilayi. Ojho ndo munu jhola jha ikabhamanyisya bhanu khila mahali mambo ambagho ndo kinyume kya bhanu, sheria, ni mahali apa. Kabhele abhaletili Bhayunani mu hekalu ni kupanajisi mahali apa patakatifu.”
29 (They said this because they had seen him previously in the city with Trophimus the Ephesian and presumed that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
Kwa kujha mwanzoni bhajhele bhambwene Trofimo Muefeso akajha pamonga ni muene mjini, na bhene bhadhanileghe kwamba Paulo andetili mu hekalu.
30 The whole city was shocked by this and people came running. They grabbed hold of Paul and dragged him out of the Temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
Mji bhuoha bhwajhele ni taharuki, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga ni kun'kamula Paulo. Bhakampisya kwibhala jha hekalu, ni miliangu mara jhikafungibhwa.
31 As they tried to kill him, news came to the Roman troop commander that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Bhobhijaribu kun'koma habari syamfikili mbaha ghwa jeshi lya bhalinzi kujha Yerusalemu jhioha jhimemili ghasia.
32 Immediately the commander took some centurions and soldiers and ran down to the mob. When the mob saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Mara ejhu akabhatola askari ni jemedari akaujumbila umati. Wakati bhanu bhambwene mbaha ghwa majeshi ni askari, bhakaleka kun'tobha Paulo.
33 Then the commander came over and arrested Paul, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He asked who he was, and what he had done.
Kisha mbaha ghwa majeshi akan'karibila ni kun'kamula Paulo, ni kuamuru akongibhwayi minyororo mu mbele. Akan'kota muene niani na aketili kiki.
34 Some in the mob were shouting one thing and some another. Since the commander couldn't find out the truth due to all the noise and confusion, he ordered Paul brought into the fortress.
Baadhi jha bhanu mu umati bhakajha bhipwayuka khenu akhe ni bhangi k'enge. Kwa kujha jemedari abhwesilepi kubhajobhela kyokyoha kwandabha jha sela njuegho, akaamuru Paulo aletibhwayi mugati mu ngome.
35 When Paul got to the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because the mob was so violent.
Basi bho afikili pa ngazi, akatolibhwa ni askari kwa ndabha jha ghasia sya umati.
36 People in the crowd that was following were shouting, “Get rid of him!”
Ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhan'kesisi na bhajhendelili kujhuegha, “Mumbosiajhi ojhu!”
37 Just as he was about to be taken inside the fortress, Paul asked the commander, “Can I tell you something?” “Do you know Greek?” asked the commander.
Paulo bho iletibhwa mugati mu ngome, an'jobhili mbaha ghwa majeshi, “Nibhwesya kun'jobhela khenu?” Jhola mbaha ghwa jeshi akajobha, “Je wilongela Kiyunani?
38 “Aren't you the Egyptian who recently incited a rebellion and led four thousand Assassins into the desert?”
Je, bhebhe sio jhola Mmisri ambajhe awali alonguisi uasi na atolili magaidi elfu nne nyikani?”
39 “I am a Jew, a citizen of Tarsus in Cilicia, an important city,” Paul replied. “Please let me talk to the people.”
Paulo akajobha, “Nene na Myahudi, kuhoma mji bhwa Tarso jha Kilikia. Nene na raia ghwa mji maarufu. Nikabhas'oka, mniruhusiajhi nilongelayi ni bhanu.”
40 The commander gave Paul permission to speak. So Paul stood on the stairs and motioned for silence. When it was quiet he spoke to them in Aramaic.
Wakati jemedari ampelili ruhusa, Paulo akajhema pa ngazi ni kupisya ishara kwa bhanu kwa kibhoko kya muene. Wakati bhajhele kinunu sana, akalongela nabhu kwa Kihebrania. Akajobha,
