Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Patamali kulagana nawu, tayingili muwatu na kuhamba lumonga mbaka Kosi. Chilau yaki tahikili kumuji wa Lode, na patahumili kwenuko tikahamba kumuji wa Patala.
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Kula taukolili watu wewihamba mbaka ku Foinike, ndi tikayingila na kuyendelela lugendu.
3 Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
Ndi patahikili pandu patahotwili kulola Kuplo, tikahamba upandi wa kusini mbaka Silia. Tikahamba kuyima ku Tilo ndi pandu pa watu wula payahulusayi ndwika.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Kwenuko tavakoli vamsadika, tatamili nawu mulukumbi lwa lijuma limonga. Vamsadika venavo vakavya vilongela mukulongoswa na Mpungu Msopi, vakamjovela Pauli akotoka kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
5 And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Nambu lukumbi lwitu palwamaliki tavoha tawukili. Vawuliwa pamonga na vadala na vana vavi vatihindikili mbaka kuvala ya muji. Patahikili kumbwani tavoha tikafugama na kumuyupa Chapanga.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
Kangi patamali kulagana nawu, tayingili muwatu na vene vakawuya kunyumba zavi.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Tete tayendalili na lugendu lwitu tahumili ku Tilo na kuhamba Tolemai kwetavajambwisi valongo vitu, tatamili nawu ligono limonga.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
Chilau yaki tahumili penapo na kuhamba Kaisalia. Kwenuko tikatama kunyumba ya Filipi mkokosa wa Lilovi la Bwina. Mwene ndi avi mmonga wa vamtangatila saba vevahaguliwi ku Yelusalemu kula.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Mwenuyu avi na vakamwali mcheche vevavi na chipanji cha kulota malovi ga Chapanga.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Patatamili kwenuko magono gamahele, mlota mmonga wa Chapanga liina laki Agabo ahikili kuhuma ku Yudea.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Ndi atibwelili, akatola mkungi wa Pauli akajikunga mawoko na magendelu, akajova, “Mpungu Msopi ajovili aga, ‘Vayawudi va ku Yelusalemu kula yati vakumkunga mewa mundu mweavi na mkungi uwu na kumgotola kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi.’”
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Patayuwini genago, tete pamonga na vandu vangi vevavi penapo, tamuyupili Pauli akotoka kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Nambu Pauli avayangwili, “Ndava kyani mwivemba? Na kunidenya mtima? Nijitendelekili, lepi ndava ya kukungiwa ndu ku Yelusalemu, nambu hati mewawa kufwa ndava ya liina la Bambu Yesu.”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Peabeli getamjovili tagunii tikajova, “Maganu ga Bambu gahengekayi!”
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
Patamali kutama mulukumbi, ndi takungili ndwika yitu, tayendalili na lugendu kuhamba ku Yelusalemu.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cæsarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Vamsadika nunuyu va ku Kaisalia valongosini na tete, vatipeliki kunyumba ya mundu mmonga liina laki Mnasoni, ndi mwetahambayi kutama kwa lukumbi. Mwenuyo avi mkolonjinji wa muji wa Kuplo, msadika wa kadeni.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Hinu patahikili ku Yelusalemu, vamsadika vayitu vatipokili kwa luheku.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Chilau yaki Pauli pamonga na tete tahambili kumjambusa Yakobo na vagogo voha va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Patamali kuvajambusa, Pauli avajovili mambu goha Chapanga geagahengili kwa vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi munjila ya lihengu laki.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Ndi pavagayuwini ago, vakamulumba Chapanga. Kangi vakamjovela Pauli, “Mlongo, uhotola kulola kuvya vavi maelufu ga Vayawudi vevavi vamsadika hinu na voha vilanda cha kukangamala malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa.
21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Vayuwini mambu gaku gewiwula Vayawudi vevitama pagati ya vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi, kuvya vakotoka kulanda malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa, vakotoka kuvadumula jandu vana vavi kavili vakotoka kulanda mivelu ya Vayawudi.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Hinu tikita wuli? Chakaka yati viyuwana kuvya ubwelili.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
Hinu kitayi ngati chetikujovela, penapa tivii na vagosi mcheche vevaviki chilapu kwa Chapanga.
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Uwungana nawu mukuyupa kunyambiswa, ulipa mashonga gegiganikwa, kangi vaketewayi mayunju gavi. Ndi vandu voha yati vimanya kuvya mambu gala gevayuwini kukuvala veve gangali mana, ndi wamwene wakona witama na kulanda malagizu ga Malagizu ga Musa.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Nambu kuvavala vandu vangalikuvya Vayawudi vevasadiki, tivapelekili balua yetiyandiki mambu getihamwili, vakotoka kulya chindu chochoha chechiwusiwi luteta vachapanga va udese, vakotoka kunywa ngasi, na vakotoka kulya nyama ya hinyama yidodanu, vayepa ukemi.”
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Hinu chilau yaki Pauli akavatola vandu vala muni ajinyambisa nawu pamonga, kangi akayingila Munyumba ya Chapanga, na kujova ligono la mwishu la kunyambiswa na luteta lweluwusiwa ndava ya kila mmonga.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
Hinu magono gala saba pagihegelela kumalika, Vayawudi vevahumili wa Asia vamuwene Pauli Munyumba ya Chapanga. Ndi vakavakohokea ligoga msambi woha wa vandu, ndi vakamkamula.
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
Vakaywanga, “Vagosi va Isilaeli, mutitangatila! Mundu mwenuyu ndi mweakuvawula vandu kila pandu mambu gegibelana na vandu va Isilaeli, gegibesa malagizu ga Chapanga geampeli Musa na pandu apa Pamsopi. Hati hinu avayingisi vandu vangali Vayawudi Munyumba ya Chapanga na kupahakasa pandu pamsopi.”
29 ( For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
Vajovili genago ndava vamuwene Tofimo mkolonjinji wa ku Efeso, alongosini na Pauli kumujini, vakaholalela manya Pauli amuyingisi Munyumba ya Chapanga.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
Chitututu chadandasiki muji woha, vandu vakonganiki kuhuma pandi zoha, vakamukamula Pauli, vakamuhuta na kumuhumisa kuvala ya Nyumba ya Chapanga, na bahapo milyangu hikadindwa.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Pavalingili kumkoma Pauli, malovi gala gakamhikila mkulu wa msambi wa ku Loma kuvya Yelusalemu yoha yimemili chitututu.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
Bahapo mkulu wa msambi akavatola manjolinjoli na vachilongosi wavi, vakavajumbila kuhamba. Vayawudi pavamuwene mkulu wa msambi pamonga na manjolinjoli vakaleka kumtova Pauli.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Mkulu wa msambi yula akamhegelela Pauli, akamkamula na kulagiza akungiwayi minyololo yivili. Kangi akakota, “Mwenuyu ndi yani? Abudili kyani?”
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
Vangi mu msambi wula vakavya mukuywanga vangi aga na vangi gala. Ndava ya chitututu, mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli amanyili lepi uchakaka wa mhalu waki. Ndi akahamula vandu vaki vampeleka mugati ya ngomi ya manjolinjoli.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Pauli pahaikili pangazi, yavaganili manjolinjoli kumgega ndava ya chitututu cha vandu.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
Ndava muni msambi wa vandu uvaha vamlandili kuni viywanga, “Mkomayi!”
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Pavamuyingisa mungomi, Pauli akamuyupa mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli yula, “Nihotola kukujovela chindu?” Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli akamkota, “Wu, umanya kujova Chigiliki?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
Wu, veve ndi Mmisili yula magono gegapitili atumbwili chitututu na kuvalongosa vakomaji elufu mcheche kuhamba kulugangatu?”
39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
Pauli akayangula, “Nene na Myawudi, mkolonjinji wa ku Taso muji wa Kilikia, muji weutopeswa. Chondi niyidakila nilongela na vandu.”
40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Mkulu wa msambi wa manjolinjoli yula akamyidakila. Ndi Pauli akayima panani ya ngazi akavapungila vandu chiwoko, muni vaguna, akatumbula kulongela nawu muluga ya Chiebulania.
