< 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
Natalehana nabho, tishuula mubahari tafiha hu kosi, shaudabho lwakwe tafiha hu Rodo, natafuma uhwo tafiha hu muji gwa Patara.
2 where we found a ship going to Phoenicia. We went on board and set sail.
Natapata emeli yelobhola hu Foinike, tinjila tashuula nayo.
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.
Natafiha hu kisiwa cha hu Kipro, taileha hukhono umongo, tashuula tafiha hu Siria, tabhila enanga hu muji gwa hu Tiro, uhwo emeli yahanziwaga ahwisye amazigo.
4 We found the believers and stayed there for a week. Through the Holy Spirit the believers told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Natabhalola amanyili, takhala uhwo ensiku saba. Amanyili ebha bhasunda uPaulo ashilile hu Mpepo Ufinjile huje usahakhanye ulwayo hu 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.
Natamalizya ensiku zila, tasogola. Bhatilolezya bhonti nabhashi bhabho na bhana bhabho hwatabhalaga natafiha munshinji ye bahari tafugamila mafugamo tapuuta, nkalatagana nabho.
6 Then we boarded the ship, and they went back home.
Ate tiinjila mumeli, bhope bhawele amwabho.
7 Our voyage from Tyre ended at Ptolemais where we greeted the believers and stayed with them for a day.
Natamalizya esafari yetu afume hu Tiro, tafiha hu Tolemai. Pala tabhalamuha aholo takhala isiku limo.
8 The next day we left and went to Caesarea. We stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist (one of the Seven).
Shandabho lwakwe tasogola tafiha hu Kaisaria. Ate tinjile munyumba ya Filipo, yaali lombeleli wi izu lya Ngulubhi, aali na bhaale saba.
9 Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
Omuntu unuaali na bhaale bhane abhaale ebho bhakuwaga.
10 After we'd stayed there for several days, a prophet called Agabus arrived from Judea.
Natakhala uhwo, ahika ukuwe umo afume hu Uyahudi itawa yu 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.’”
Ahinzile hulite, wega ilampa lya Paulo wahwipinya amakhono na manama, waga Umpepo Ufinjile aiga. umwanisholilampa eli bhabhahumpiye Ayahudi bha hu Yerusalemu, na hutwale mumakhono ga bhantu bha mataifa.”
12 When we heard this, we and the believers there pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Natumvwa enongwa izyo ate na bhantu bhabhakhala pala tabhuula u Paulo huje asahishe abhale hu 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.”
U Paulo wabhabhuula, waga mulila yeenu, mbona muntengula umwoyo ane enditayari apinywe, siyo apinywe tu nafwe hwayo, hu shauli yitawa ilya Yesu ugosi wane.”
14 Since he couldn't be persuaded otherwise we gave up, and said, “May the Lord's will be done.”
Pipo uPaulo sigaahanzaga asundwe ate taaleha, taga Ungulubhi abhombe zyazigine.”
15 After this we packed our bags and headed for Jerusalem.
Nazyashila ensiku ezi, ate teega amafuko getu, taabhala hu 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.
Amanyili bhamo bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria bhahalongozanya nate. Bhalete umuntu umo oMunasoni, elyo litawa lyakwe ali wa hu Kipro ali manyili kuulu yatakhiyenawo.
17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers there welcomed us warmly.
Natafiha hu Yerusalemu aholo bhetu bhatejeliye shinza tee na hulugano.
18 The next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church leaders were there.
Shandao lwalwe u Paulo tabhalile tenti hwa Yakobo, na bhazee bhonti bhahali.
19 After greeting them, Paul went through in detail everything God had done for the foreigners through his ministry.
Nawabhalamuha, abhabhuulile zyonti zyabhombile Ungulubhi hwa mataifa ashilile hu makhono gakwe.
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.
Nabhuumvwa enongwa izyo bhalumba Ungulubhi, bhabhuula uPaulo walola, elufu zilinga zya Yahudi. Bhabhitishe abhene bhahwanza hukhate ye 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.
Bhabhuulilwe huje awe umanyizya Ayahudi abhahumataifa aje mugande akhate esheria ya Musa, nantele muganje abhatahiri abhana bhenyu nantele musahagilondozye emila zyetu enkuulu.
22 So what should we do about it? People will certainly get to hear that you've arrived here.
Eshi tikhonzye wili? Nantele bhabhahwumvwe huje uli ohu.
23 This is what we want you to do: Four men among us have taken a vow.
Eshi ubhombe shila shatihubhuula eshi: tili na bhantu bhane bhabhahwifinjile.
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.
Bheje abhantu ebha uhwiyozye nabho, ubhasombele eghalama zyabho nkabhasyengule amatwe gabho. Nkabhamanye huje nawe ufuata esheria.
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.”
Lelo hwakristo abhamataifa tabhasimbiye huje musalalye evintu vyabhafumizye sadaka huvifwani, neviniongwe ni danda, nu umalaya.”
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.
U Paulo wabhega alume ni isiku ilyabhili wahwiyozya yuyo nabhaala bhantu, winjila mushibhanza, watandazya ensiku ezyahwiyozye, paka esadaka bhafumye hwa bhonti.
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.
Ensiku saba nazyapalamila amalishe Ayahudi bhabhafumile hu Asia bhalola uPaulo mushibhanza, bhavitwa tee, bhasontezya na makhono.
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.”
Bhakhoola iholo abhaIsraeli enzi intuavwe ulamuntu ayinzile yamanyizya abhantu zyasigazihwanziwa mu mushibhanza ahwanza apachafule apafinjile epa.”
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.)
Ulwahwande uPaulo bhalolile nu Trofimo uwa hu Efeso bhagagajibha aletile mushibhanza.
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.
Umuji gwonti gwagunduha abhantu bhashimbila bhakhata u Paulo. Bhafumya hwunzi afume mushibhanza amandyango gafungwa.
31 As they tried to kill him, news came to the Roman troop commander that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Nabhahanzaga hubude, ugosi wikeya lya alinzi bhe Yerusalemu huje yonti elifujo yeene.
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.
Wega askari nu jemedari bhashimbilila pa bhantu, abhantu nabhabhalola asikari bhaaleka hukhone uPaulo.
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.
Ugosi wikeya wapalamila uPaulo wakhata bhapinya na manyoro gabhili. Wabhuzya awe, wenanu ubhombile yeenu.
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.
Abhantu bhabwagaga ibwago siga ahumvwaga nazimo zyabhayanga wabhabhuula asilari huje mwinjizi muhati mwingome.
35 When Paul got to the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because the mob was so violent.
Nabhafiha pangazi(pandandalilo) usikari wamwega, efujo zyali ngosi.
36 People in the crowd that was following were shouting, “Get rid of him!”
Ipuga lya bhantu lyalondozyaga naje mwefwi uyo!”
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.
Nabhaleta uPaulo mungome, u Paulo wabhuula ugosi wi keya ibhuule ahantu?” Ugosi wi keya waga uyanga shi Yunani?
38 “Aren't you the Egyptian who recently incited a rebellion and led four thousand Assassins into the desert?”
Awe siga yayula uMisri yalongozizye unanzi ahijile agaidi elufu zine mwisengo?”
39 “I am a Jew, a citizen of Tarsus in Cilicia, an important city,” Paul replied. “Please let me talk to the people.”
U Paulo waga ane endi Muyahudi wa hu Tarso iya hu Kilikia. Ilaba munduhusu enjanje na bhantu.”
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.
Ugosi hawakunda u Paulo wimilila pa ndandalilo wabhagolosezya amakhono gakwe. Abhantu abhapuuma, wayanga nabho hushi Ebrania. Akasema,
