Acts 21
1 And as we launched forth, and were departed from them, we came with a straight course vnto Coos, and the day following vnto the Rhodes, and from thence vnto Patara.
Mpotwalapwisha kulayana, twalafumako twalenda mu bwato ne kululama ku Kosi. Busuba bwakonkapo twalashika ku Lodi, kufuma uko twalaya ku Patala.
2 And we found a ship that went ouer vnto Phenice, and went aboard, and set forth.
Mpotwalashika, twalacana bwato bwali kuya ku Foinike, twalatanta ne kuya.
3 And whe we had discouered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed toward Syria, and arriued at Tyrus: for there the ship vnladed ye burden.
Lino mpotwalashika pamusena mpotwalikukonsha kubona nsumbu ya Saipulasi, twalabembuluka cakucipiko, mpaka twalashika ku Siliya kucito ca Tulo nkobalalongololamo bintu byalikuba mu bwatomo.
4 And when we had found disciples, we taried there seuen dayes. And they told Paul through the Spirit, that he should not goe vp to Hierusalem.
Kopeloko twalacanako beshikwiya nabambi mbotwalekala nabo masuba asanu ne abili. Abo balamwambila Paulo, kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa kwambeti kataya ku Yelusalemu.
5 But when the dayes were ended, we departed and went our way, and they all accompanied vs with their wiues and children, euen out of the citie: and we kneeling downe on the shore, prayed.
Mpwalapwa masuba akwikala nabo, twalafumako ne kupitilisha bulwendo bwetu, beshikwiya bonse pamo ne bamakashabo ne bana babo balatushindikila mpaka kunsa kwa munshi. Twalasuntama ne kupaila pa museya mulombe pepi ne lwenje.
6 Then when we had embraced one another, we tooke ship, and they returned home.
Mpotwalalayana balo balabwelela kumanda kwabo, afwe twalengila mu bwato.
7 And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Twalapitilisha bulwendo bwetu mu bwato kufuma ku Tulo, ne kushika ku Pitolemasi uko nkotwalapa mitende banse ne kwikalako busuba bumo.
8 And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him.
Busuba bwakonkapo twalanyamuka ne kuya kushika ku Kaisaleya. Twalekala kung'anda ya Filipo mukambaushi wa Mulumbe Waina, umo wa batuloba basanu ne babili basa balasalwa kunyamfwilisha mu Yelusalemu.
9 Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie.
Filipo walikukute bana batukashi bashike bana, balikuba bashinshimi.
10 And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus.
Mpokwalapita masuba angi, kwalesa mushinshimi walafumina ku Yudeya walikukwiweti Agaba.
11 And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Walesa kuli njafwe ne kumanta mukopo wa Paulo, ne kulisunga mwine ku makasa ne ku myendo, ne kwambeti, “Mushimu Uswepa, ulambangeti, mwine mukopo uwu, Bayuda bamu Yelusalemu ni bakamusunge mbuli ncendalisungu, ni bakamutwale mu makasa abantu bakunsa.”
12 And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem.
Mpotwalanyumfwa maswi alico, afwe pamo ne bantu balikuba uko, twalamusenga Paulo kwambeti katayako ku Yelusalemu.
13 Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.
Nsombi nendi Paulo walakumbuleti, “Mulalilishanyanga aconi ne kumpa buyowa? Ndalibambila, nteko kuya kusungwa konka sobwe, nsombi kuya kufwila kopeloko mu Yelusalemu pacebo ca lina lya Mwami Yesu.”
14 So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Mpotwalaboneti tulalilwa kumukanisha, twalamuleka, twalambeti, “Kuyanda kwa Mwami kwinshike.”
15 And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem.
Panyuma pa kwikalako masuba ang'ana, twalalongela bintu byetu ne kuya ku Yelusalemu.
16 There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge.
Twalaya pamo ne beshikwiya nabambi baku Kaisaleya. Balatushikisha kung'anda ya muntu walikukwiweti Munasoni waku Saipulasi, nkotwalikuba twelela kwikala. Walikuba shikwiya kwa byaka bingi.
17 And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.
Mpotwalashika mu Yelusalemu, banse balatutambula cena.
18 And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.
Busuba bwakonkapo, Paulo ne njafwe twense pamo twalaya kubona Jemusi. Twalacanako bamakulene bamubungano kabali babungana.
19 And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.
Popelapo, Paulo walabapa mitende ne kubambila cena bintu byonse Lesa mbyalensa ku bantu bakunsa, kupitila mu ncito yakendi.
20 So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:
Mpobalanyumfwa makani awa balamutembaula Lesa, ne kumwambila Paulo, eti, “Obe mwanse wetu, Paulo, kobona kufula kwa bina ne bina bya Bayuda bashoma muli Mwami, bonse bacinka manungo mu Milawo ya Mose.”
21 Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.
“Bonse aba balambilweti obe uleyishinga Bayuda bonse bekala mubishi nabimbi kwambeti baleke kukonkela Milawo ya Mose. Kayi bambilweti kabata palulanga bana babo, nambi kukonkela miyambo ya bakulukulu.
22 What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.
Aba bantu ni banyumfweti ulesa.
23 Doe therefore this that we say to thee. We haue foure men, which haue made a vowe,
Neco, leka tukwambile nceti winse. Kuno kuli batuloba bana abo balalumbila kuli Lesa.
24 Them take, and purifie thy selfe with them, and contribute with them, that they may shaue their heads: and all shall knowe, that those things, whereof they haue bene informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thy selfe also walkest and keepest the Lawe.
Koya nabo batuloba aba ku Nganda ya Lesa, wenga uliswepeshe pamo nendibo kwelana ne mwambo. Kufumapo ubalipilile kwambeti baceswe mishishi. Wenseco, bantu bonse nibakenshibeti byonse mbyebambanga pa linjobe ni byakubepa, anu ne njobe ukute kukonkela Milawo ya Mose.
25 For as touching ye Gentiles, which beleeue, we haue written, and determined that they obserue no such thing, but that they keepe themselues from things offred to idoles, and from blood, and from that that is strangled, and from fornication.
Ku bantu ba mishobo naimbi abo balashoma Mwami Yesu, twalabalembela kalata ya kubenshibisha ncetwalasuminishana. Twalasuminishaneti, nkabelela kulya byakulya bikute kupewa milumbo kutumbwanga, nambi kulya milopa, nambi kulya nyama yalifwila ne kutensa bufule.”
26 Then Paul tooke the men, and the next day was purified with them, and entred into the Temple, declaring the accomplishment of the dayes of the purification, vntill that an offering should be offered for euery one of them.
Neco busuba bwakonkapo, Paulo walaya ne batuloba bana ne kuliswepesha pamo nabo. Kufumapo walaya mu Ng'anda ya Lesa kuya kubenshibisha bantu sha bushiku mbweshi bakapwishe kuliswepesha kwabo mpweti akababengele milumbo kuli Lesa batuloba basa umo ne umo.
27 And when the seuen dayes were almost ended, the Iewes which were of Asia (when they sawe him in the Temple) moued all the people, and laide hands on him,
Mpwalikuba pepi kupwa masuba asanu ne abili akuliswepesha, Bayuda nabambi ba kucishi ca Asiya pakumubona Paulo mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, balayungaula likoto lya bantu ne kumwikata Paulo.
28 Crying, Men of Israel, helpe: this is the man that teacheth all men euery where against the people, and the Lawe, and this place: moreouer, he hath brought Grecians into the Temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
Balabilikisheti, “Batuloba amwe Baislayeli, kamwisani mutunyamfwe! Uyu emuntu usa wayanga kwiyisha bantu kuli konse, sha kwipisha bene Islayeli, ne Milawo ya Mose, kayi ne Ng'anda ya Lesa ino. Lalete bantu bakunsa mu Ng'anda ya Lesa, lasafwanya musena waswepa uno.”
29 For they had seene before Trophimus an Ephesian with him in the citie, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the Temple.
Balambeco pakwinga balabona mutuloba walikukwiweti Tulofimo waku Efenso, kali pamo ne Paulo mu munshi, neco balayeyeti Paulo la mumanta kuya nendi mu Ng'anda ya Lesa.
30 Then all the citie was moued, and the people ran together: and they tooke Paul and drewe him out of the Temple, and forth with the doores were shut.
Neco mushi wonse walesula ne mipyopyongano. Bantu bonse balabundumukila kuya kwikata Paulo, ne kumupulisha pansa pa Ng'anda ya Lesa. Pacindico balacala bisasa bya ku Ng'anda ya Lesa.
31 But as they went about to kill him, tydings came vnto the chiefe captaine of the band, that all Hierusalem was on an vproare.
Cindi ncebali kuyanda kumushina Paulo, makani awa alanyufwika ku mukulene wa bashilikali bonse Baciloma eti mu munshi wonse wa Yelusalemu mulesulu mipyopyongano.
32 Who immediately tooke souldiers and Centurions, and ran downe vnto them: and when they sawe the chiefe Captaine and the souldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Mwa bwangu bwangu mukulene wa bashilikali bonse, walamanta bamakulene ba bashilikali, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi ne kubundumukila ku bantu abo balikwinsa mipyopyongano. Mpobalamubona kesa pamo ne bashilikali, balacileka kumuma Paulo.
33 Then the chiefe Captaine came neere and tooke him, and commanded him to be bound with two chaines, and demaunded who he was, and what he had done.
Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walaya kuli Paulo kuya kumwikata. Walambila bashilikali nabambi kwambeti bamusunge ncetani shibili, lino walepusheti, “Inga muntuyu niyani, kayi nicani ncalenshi?”
34 And one cryed this, another that, among the people. So when he could not know the certeintie for the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the castell.
Bantu balatatika kubilikisha kabamba cambe ambe, umo wambeci, naumbi wambeco. Kwalabowa kuyobeka cakwinseti mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walalilwa kucana cine cine calaletelesha mipyopyongano. Neco walambila bashilikali eti bamutwale Paulo kunkambe ya bashilikali.
35 And when hee came vnto the grieces, it was so that he was borne of the souldiers, for the violence of the people.
Paulo mpobalamushikisha pa kutantila kuya munkambe yabo, bashilikali balamunyamuna pakwinga bantu balikuyanda kumulya bubesu.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
Bonse bantu balikumukonkela balikubilikisheti, “Mushineni!”
37 And as Paul should haue bene led into the castell, he sayd vnto the chiefe Captaine, May I speake vnto thee? Who sayd, Canst thou speake Greeke?
Lino bashilikali kabali pepi kumwingisha Paulo munkambe, walambila mukulene wa bashilikali, eti, “Ndasengengeti ndimwambileko cintu nacimbi.” Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse walambeti, “Sena ucinshi kwamba Cigiliki?
38 Art not thou the Egyptian who before these dayes raised a sedition, and led out into the wildernesse foure thousande men that were murtherers?
Anu sena ntobe mwine Injipito usa walaleta mipyopyongano ya kubukila bwendeleshi cisa cindi, ne kutangunina bakapondo myanda makumi ana, kuya nabo mucinyika?”
39 Then Paul sayde, Doubtlesse, I am a man which am a Iewe, and citizen of Tarsus, a famous citie of Cilicia, and I beseech thee, suffer mee to speake vnto the people.
Paulo walakumbuleti, “Ame nde Muyuda, ndalasemenwa mu munshi wa Taliso, munshi wayampuwo mucishi conse ca Kilikiya. Ndasengenga kwambeti ng'ambeko ne bantu aba.”
40 And when he had giuen him licence, Paul stoode on the grieces, and beckened with the hand vnto the people: and when there was made great silence, hee spake vnto them in the Hebrewe tongue, saying,
Mukulene wa bashilikali bonse usa walamusuminisha. Lino Paulo walemana pa kutantila ne kutandabula cikasa kubamwenesha bantu. Mpobalamwena bonse tonto Paulo walamba mu mulaka wa Cihebeli, walambeti,
