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
ཏཻ ཪྻིསྲྀཥྚཱཿ སནྟོ ཝཡཾ པོཏཾ བཱཧཡིཏྭཱ ཨྲྀཛུམཱརྒེཎ ཀོཥམ྄ ཨུཔདྭཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཏྱ པརེ྅ཧནི རོདིཡོཔདྭཱིཔམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪཱམ ཏཏསྟསྨཱཏ྄ པཱཏཱརཱཡཱམ྄ ཨུཔཱཏིཥྛཱམ།
2 where we found a ship going to Phoenicia. We went on board and set sail.
ཏཏྲ ཕཻནཱིཀིཡཱདེཤགཱམིནམ྄ པོཏམེཀཾ པྲཱཔྱ ཏམཱརུཧྱ གཏཝནྟཿ།
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.

4 We found the believers and stayed there for a week. Through the Holy Spirit the believers told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
ཏཏྲ ཤིཥྱགཎསྱ སཱཀྵཱཏྐརཎཱཡ ཝཡཾ ཏཏྲ སཔྟདིནཱནི སྠིཏཝནྟཿ པཤྩཱཏྟེ པཝིཏྲེཎཱཏྨནཱ པཽལཾ ཝྱཱཧརན྄ ཏྭཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརཾ མཱ གམཿ།
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.
ཏཏསྟེཥུ སཔྟསུ དིནེཥུ ཡཱཔིཏེཥུ སཏྶུ ཝཡཾ ཏསྨཱཏ྄ སྠཱནཱཏ྄ ནིཛཝརྟྨནཱ གཏཝནྟཿ, ཏསྨཱཏ྄ ཏེ སབཱལཝྲྀདྡྷཝནིཏཱ ཨསྨཱབྷིཿ སཧ ནགརསྱ པརིསརཔཪྻྱནྟམ྄ ཨཱགཏཱཿ པཤྩཱདྭཡཾ ཛལདྷིཏཊེ ཛཱནུཔཱཏཾ པྲཱརྠཡཱམཧི།
6 Then we boarded the ship, and they went back home.

7 Our voyage from Tyre ended at Ptolemais where we greeted the believers and stayed with them for a day.

8 The next day we left and went to Caesarea. We stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist (one of the Seven).

9 Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
ཏསྱ ཙཏསྲོ དུཧིཏརོ྅ནཱུཌྷཱ བྷཝིཥྱདྭཱདིནྱ ཨཱསན྄།
10 After we'd stayed there for several days, a prophet called Agabus arrived from Judea.

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.’”
སོསྨཱཀཾ སམཱིཔམེཏྱ པཽལསྱ ཀཊིབནྡྷནཾ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ནིཛཧསྟཱཔཱདཱན྄ བདྡྷྭཱ བྷཱཥིཏཝཱན྄ ཡསྱེདཾ ཀཊིབནྡྷནཾ ཏཾ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམནགར ཨིཏྠཾ བདྡྷྭཱ བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཀརེཥུ སམརྤཡིཥྱནྟཱིཏི ཝཱཀྱཾ པཝིཏྲ ཨཱཏྨཱ ཀཐཡཏི།
12 When we heard this, we and the believers there pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
ཨེཏཱདྲྀཤཱིཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཝཡཾ ཏནྣགརཝཱསིནོ བྷྲཱཏརཤྩ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ ན ཡཱཏུཾ པཽལཾ ཝྱནཡཱམཧི;
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.”
ཀིནྟུ ས པྲཏྱཱཝཱདཱིཏ྄, ཡཱུཡཾ ཀིཾ ཀུརུཐ? ཀིཾ ཀྲནྡནེན མམཱནྟཿཀརཎཾ ཝིདཱིརྞཾ ཀརིཥྱཐ? པྲབྷོ ཪྻཱིཤོ རྣཱམྣོ ནིམིཏྟཾ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམི བདྡྷོ བྷཝིཏུཾ ཀེཝལ ཏནྣ པྲཱཎཱན྄ དཱཏུམཔི སསཛྫོསྨི།
14 Since he couldn't be persuaded otherwise we gave up, and said, “May the Lord's will be done.”
ཏེནཱསྨཱཀཾ ཀཐཱཡཱམ྄ ཨགྲྀཧཱིཏཱཡཱམ྄ ཨཱིཤྭརསྱ ཡཐེཙྪཱ ཏཐཻཝ བྷཝཏྭིཏྱུཀྟྭཱ ཝཡཾ ནིརསྱཱམ།
15 After this we packed our bags and headed for Jerusalem.
པརེ྅ཧནི པཱཐེཡདྲཝྱཱཎི གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམཾ པྲཏི ཡཱཏྲཱམ྄ ཨཀུརྨྨ།
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.
ཏཏཿ ཀཻསརིཡཱནགརནིཝཱསིནཿ ཀཏིཔཡཱཿ ཤིཥྱཱ ཨསྨཱབྷིཿ སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨིཏྭཱ ཀྲྀཔྲཱིཡེན མྣཱསནྣཱམྣཱ ཡེན པྲཱཙཱིནཤིཥྱེན སཱརྡྡྷམ྄ ཨསྨཱབྷི ཪྻསྟཝྱཾ ཏསྱ སམཱིཔམ྄ ཨསྨཱན྄ ནཱིཏཝནྟཿ།
17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers there welcomed us warmly.
ཨསྨཱསུ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྱུཔསྠིཏེཥུ ཏཏྲསྠབྷྲཱཏྲྀགཎོ྅སྨཱན྄ ཨཱཧླཱདེན གྲྀཧཱིཏཝཱན྄།
18 The next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church leaders were there.
པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ པཽལེ྅སྨཱབྷིཿ སཧ ཡཱཀཱུབོ གྲྀཧཾ པྲཝིཥྚེ ལོཀཔྲཱཙཱིནཱཿ སཪྻྭེ ཏཏྲ པརིཥདི སཾསྠིཏཱཿ།
19 After greeting them, Paul went through in detail everything God had done for the foreigners through his ministry.
ཨནནྟརཾ ས ཏཱན྄ ནཏྭཱ སྭཱིཡཔྲཙཱརཎེན བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱན྄ པྲཏཱིཤྭརོ ཡཱནི ཀརྨྨཱཎི སཱདྷིཏཝཱན྄ ཏདཱིཡཱཾ ཀཐཱམ྄ ཨནུཀྲམཱཏ྄ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄།
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.
ཨིཏི ཤྲུཏྭཱ ཏེ པྲབྷུཾ དྷནྱཾ པྲོཙྱ ཝཱཀྱམིདམ྄ ཨབྷཱཥནྟ, ཧེ བྷྲཱཏ ཪྻིཧཱུདཱིཡཱནཱཾ མདྷྱེ བཧུསཧསྲཱཎི ལོཀཱ ཝིཤྭཱསིན ཨཱསཏེ ཀིནྟུ ཏེ སཪྻྭེ ཝྱཝསྠཱམཏཱཙཱརིཎ ཨེཏཏ྄ པྲཏྱཀྵཾ པཤྱསི།
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.
ཤིཤཱུནཱཾ ཏྭཀྪེདནཱདྱཱཙརཎཾ པྲཏིཥིདྷྱ ཏྭཾ བྷིནྣདེཤནིཝཱསིནོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ མཱུསཱཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨཤྲདྡྷཱཏུམ྄ ཨུཔདིཤསཱིཏི ཏཻཿ ཤྲུཏམསྟི།
22 So what should we do about it? People will certainly get to hear that you've arrived here.
ཏྭམཏྲཱགཏོསཱིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཾ སམཱཀརྞྱ ཛནནིཝཧོ མིལིཏྭཱཝཤྱམེཝཱགམིཥྱཏི; ཨཏཨེཝ ཀིཾ ཀརཎཱིཡམ྄? ཨཏྲ ཝཡཾ མནྟྲཡིཏྭཱ སམུཔཱཡཾ ཏྭཱཾ ཝདཱམསྟཾ ཏྭམཱཙར།
23 This is what we want you to do: Four men among us have taken a vow.
ཝྲཏཾ ཀརྟྟུཾ ཀྲྀཏསངྐལྤཱ ཡེ྅སྨཱཾཀ ཙཏྭཱརོ མཱནཝཱཿ སནྟི
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.
ཏཱན྄ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཏཻཿ སཧིཏཿ སྭཾ ཤུཙིཾ ཀུརུ ཏཐཱ ཏེཥཱཾ ཤིརོམུཎྜནེ ཡོ ཝྱཡོ བྷཝཏི ཏཾ ཏྭཾ དེཧི། ཏཐཱ ཀྲྀཏེ ཏྭདཱིཡཱཙཱརེ ཡཱ ཛནཤྲུཏི རྫཱཡཏེ སཱལཱིཀཱ ཀིནྟུ ཏྭཾ ཝིདྷིཾ པཱལཡན྄ ཝྱཝསྠཱནུསཱརེཎེཝཱཙརསཱིཏི ཏེ བྷོཏྶནྟེ།
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.”
བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡཱནཱཾ ཝིཤྭཱསིལོཀཱནཱཾ ནིཀཊེ ཝཡཾ པཏྲཾ ལིཁིཏྭེཏྠཾ སྠིརཱིཀྲྀཏཝནྟཿ, དེཝཔྲསཱདབྷོཛནཾ རཀྟཾ གལཔཱིཌནམཱརིཏཔྲཱཎིབྷོཛནཾ ཝྱབྷིཙཱརཤྩཻཏེབྷྱཿ སྭརཀྵཎཝྱཏིརེཀེཎ ཏེཥཱམནྱཝིདྷིཔཱལནཾ ཀརཎཱིཡཾ ན།
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.
ཏཏཿ པཽལསྟཱན྄ མཱནུཥཱནཱདཱཡ པརསྨིན྄ དིཝསེ ཏཻཿ སཧ ཤུཙི རྦྷཱུཏྭཱ མནྡིརཾ གཏྭཱ ཤཽཙཀརྨྨཎོ དིནེཥུ སམྤཱུརྞེཥུ ཏེཥཱམ྄ ཨེཀཻཀཱརྠཾ ནཻཝེདྱཱདྱུཏྶརྒོ བྷཝིཥྱཏཱིཏི ཛྙཱཔིཏཝཱན྄།
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.
ཏེཥུ སཔྟསུ དིནེཥུ སམཱཔྟཀལྤེཥུ ཨཱཤིཡཱདེཤནིཝཱསིནོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡཱསྟཾ མདྷྱེམནྡིརཾ ཝིལོཀྱ ཛནནིཝཧསྱ མནཿསུ ཀུཔྲཝྲྀཏྟིཾ ཛནཡིཏྭཱ ཏཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ
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.”
པྲོཙྩཻཿ པྲཱཝོཙན྄, ཧེ ཨིསྲཱཡེལློཀཱཿ སཪྻྭེ སཱཧཱཡྻཾ ཀུརུཏ། ཡོ མནུཛ ཨེཏེཥཱཾ ལོཀཱནཱཾ མཱུསཱཝྱཝསྠཱཡཱ ཨེཏསྱ སྠཱནསྱཱཔི ཝིཔརཱིཏཾ སཪྻྭཏྲ སཪྻྭཱན྄ ཤིཀྵཡཏི ས ཨེཥཿ; ཝིཤེཥཏཿ ས བྷིནྣདེཤཱིཡལོཀཱན྄ མནྡིརམ྄ ཨཱནཱིཡ པཝིཏྲསྠཱནམེཏད྄ ཨཔཝིཏྲམཀརོཏ྄།
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.)
པཱུཪྻྭཾ ཏེ མདྷྱེནགརམ྄ ཨིཕིཥནགརཱིཡཾ ཏྲཕིམཾ པཽལེན སཧིཏཾ དྲྀཥྚཝནྟ ཨེཏསྨཱཏ྄ པཽལསྟཾ མནྡིརམདྷྱམ྄ ཨཱནཡད྄ ཨིཏྱནྭམིམཏ།
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.
ཨཏཨེཝ སཪྻྭསྨིན྄ ནགརེ ཀལཧོཏྤནྣཏྭཱཏ྄ དྷཱཝནྟོ ལོཀཱ ཨཱགཏྱ པཽལཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ མནྡིརསྱ བཧིརཱཀྲྀཥྱཱནཡན྄ ཏཏྐྵཎཱད྄ དྭཱརཱཎི སཪྻྭཱཎི ཙ རུདྡྷཱནི།
31 As they tried to kill him, news came to the Roman troop commander that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
ཏེཥུ ཏཾ ཧནྟུམུདྱཏེཥུ ཡིརཱུཤཱལམྣགརེ མཧཱནུཔདྲཝོ ཛཱཏ ཨིཏི ཝཱརྟྟཱཡཱཾ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏེཿ ཀརྞགོཙརཱིབྷཱུཏཱཡཱཾ སཏྱཱཾ ས ཏཏྐྵཎཱཏ྄ སཻནྱཱནི སེནཱཔཏིགཎཉྩ གྲྀཧཱིཏྭཱ ཛཝེནཱགཏཝཱན྄།
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.
ཏཏོ ལོཀཱཿ སེནཱགཎེན སཧ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིམ྄ ཨཱགཙྪནྟཾ དྲྀཥྚྭཱ པཽལཏཱཌནཱཏོ ནྱཝརྟྟནྟ།
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.
ས སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏིཿ སནྣིདྷཱཝཱགམྱ པཽལཾ དྷྲྀཏྭཱ ཤྲྀངྑལདྭཡེན བདྡྷམ྄ ཨཱདིཤྱ ཏཱན྄ པྲྀཥྚཝཱན྄ ཨེཥ ཀཿ? ཀིཾ ཀརྨྨ ཙཱཡཾ ཀྲྀཏཝཱན྄?
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.
ཏཏོ ཛནསམཱུཧསྱ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨེཀཔྲཀཱརཾ ཀཤྩིད྄ ཨནྱཔྲཀཱརཾ ཝཱཀྱམ྄ ཨརཽཏ྄ ས ཏཏྲ སཏྱཾ ཛྙཱཏུམ྄ ཀལཧཀཱརཎཱད྄ ཨཤཀྟཿ སན྄ ཏཾ དུརྒཾ ནེཏུམ྄ ཨཱཛྙཱཔཡཏ྄།
35 When Paul got to the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because the mob was so violent.
ཏེཥུ སོཔཱནསྱོཔརི པྲཱཔྟེཥུ ལོཀཱནཱཾ སཱཧསཀཱརཎཱཏ྄ སེནཱགཎཿ པཽལམུཏྟོལྱ ནཱིཏཝཱན྄།
36 People in the crowd that was following were shouting, “Get rid of him!”

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.
པཽལསྱ དུརྒཱནཡནསམཡེ ས ཏསྨཻ སཧསྲསེནཱཔཏཡེ ཀཐིཏཝཱན྄, བྷཝཏཿ པུརསྟཱཏ྄ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུཾ ཀིམ྄ ཨནུམནྱཏེ? ས ཏམཔྲྀཙྪཏ྄ ཏྭཾ ཀིཾ ཡཱུནཱནཱིཡཱཾ བྷཱཥཱཾ ཛཱནཱསི?
38 “Aren't you the Egyptian who recently incited a rebellion and led four thousand Assassins into the desert?”

39 “I am a Jew, a citizen of Tarsus in Cilicia, an important city,” Paul replied. “Please let me talk to the people.”
ཏདཱ པཽལོ྅ཀཐཡཏ྄ ཨཧཾ ཀིལིཀིཡཱདེཤསྱ ཏཱརྵནགརཱིཡོ ཡིཧཱུདཱིཡོ, ནཱཧཾ སཱམཱནྱནགརཱིཡོ མཱནཝཿ; ཨཏཨེཝ ཝིནཡེ྅ཧཾ ལཱཀཱནཱཾ སམཀྵཾ ཀཐཱཾ ཀཐཡིཏུཾ མཱམནུཛཱནཱིཥྭ།
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.
