Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were got from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
Niwa ki hi don ba ni vu zren hu nkon mma, ki hu tri me hi ni gbu Cos, e ni bi wa aka hua ni gbu Rhodes, mba rhini ki hi ni gbu patra.
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Niwa ki to jirgima wa a ta ru hini Funisiya, ki ri huba dran hi.
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 unload her burden.
Hu wa ki nzu shishi to Cyprus, ki kawdon ni wo mrha wu kpran jirgia, ki dran hi ni Syria, ndi ka kukri ni Tyre, bubu wa kikle jirgi a ta ju kpi wa anjia.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, (pneuma) that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Hu wa ki to mri ko bihuba, ki kii ni ki wu vi tangban. Hu kpere sron brji, basi yo tre ni Bulus du na hi Urushelima na.
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.
Niwa ivimbu niki a kle, ki donba ni kunkon mbu, i wawumbu, baba mbamba ni mri mba ba huta zren rjuni gbu'a. Niki ki kukwu ngbarju ni nyu kpe tre ma'a ni bre Irji,
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
ni tre ndi se vi ri niki ki rini jirgi'a, i ba kma hi komba.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Niwa ki kle zren mbu rji ni Tyre, ki ye ni Ptolemais. Niki chi mri vayi ba ni son niba wu vi ri.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
Nivi wa a hu kima ki hi ni Kaisariya. Ki ri ni ko Filibus, ndji wu zren ni bla tre Irji, wa ana iri nimi tangban ba, ndi ka son niwu.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Inji yi a he ni mri mba nza wa bana to lilon na, i bata nran kpi bi ye ni ko shishi.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Niwa ki kii niki wu vi fon bran, indji ri wa ri to koshishi, ni nde Agabus, grji ye rhi ni Judiya.
11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owns this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
A ye nita nda ban rjirji trii Bulus. Niki a lo za mba woma ni rjirji trii'a nda tre ndi, “Ikpe wa Brji Tsatsra ni tre'a, toki Yahudawa bi Urushelima ba lo indji wu rjirji trii yi, i ba vuu yo ni wo Bikora.”
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Niwa ki wo kpi biyi, kita baba indji wa ba ki ni ki, ki krubre Bulus ni du na hi ni Urushelima na.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean all of you 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.
Niki Bulus a sa bawu ndi, “Bisi ti ngye, kpa gro nini yra me sron? Mi kpanyime ndi du ba na lo me negen na, mba du me kwu ngame ni Urushelima nitu nde Bachi Yesu.”
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Nitu wa Bulus na kma sron ni bre mba na, ki son ngbangbi ni lu tre ndi, “Du kpe wa Irji kpanyime niwu du he toki.”
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
Hu vi biyi, ki vu ba mbu zren mbu ni hi ni Urushelima.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Mri ko bi hu bari wa ba rhini Kasariya ba huta ngame. Ba nji indji ri wu nde Mnason, indji wu Cyprus, nha ni kpamba, wa ana he ni mi bi mri ko bi hu, wa ki hi ki niwu.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Niwa ki ye ri ni Urushelima, mri vayi ba ba kpata ni wo ha ni ngyiri.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Nivi wa a ka hu ki, Bulus a njita hi ni ko Yakubu, i bi chiche ba bana he niki.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Niwa a chi ba, a vu bla ni yiyri kpi wa Irji a ti nimi Bikora ni nkon ndu wa a ti'a.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Niwa bawo kima ba gbre san ni Irji, nda hlawu ndi, “Wu to, vayi, ka indji dubu bren ni mi Yahudawa ba ba kpanyime. Ba yo sron kri gbangban ndi ba hu du a.
21 And they are informed of you, that you teach 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.
Ba hla bawu nitu me, ndi wu tsro Yahudawa wa baki nimi Bikora'a du ba ka Musa don, mba ndi wu hla bawu dubu na yoyi ni mri mba, mba du bana zren nitu nkon ba tii na.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must essentially come together: for they will hear that you are come.
Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
23 Do therefore this that we say to you: We have four men which have a vow on them;
Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
24 Them take, and purify yourself 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 you, are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
Vuu indji ba ni ngla kpame niba, ni han nklen ni tumba, ni du ba kron nfutu mba. Ko nha ni to ndi kpe wa ba bla nitu me a hi che. Ba to ndi iwu ngame wu son tsra, nini hu du'a.
25 As concerning 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.
I nitu Bikora wa ba kpanyime'a, ki nha nitu krimbu ndi duba chu kpamba ti nkan ni kpi wa ba ton ni kpi bi brji, ni iyi, ni kpe ba wuu ni nkon nduto, mba ni ti fa'a.”
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.
Niki Bulus a vuu indji ba, i ni vi wa aka hu'a, a ngla kpama bi ni babaa. Niki ba ri hi ni mi hekali, yo tre ni zi ndi vi wu nglakpa ani ye he toki, i ba nu beko nitu yiyri mba.
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,
Niwa vi tangban ba ba ye kle, Yahudawa bari rhini Asiya, ni ku shishi ni bulus ni mi hekalia, chon kpaandji ba nfu, nda yo wo nitu ma.
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teaches all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and has polluted this holy place.
Ba sia kpa gro ndi, “Indji bi Israila, zo ta. Indji yi yi ni tsro ndji wawu kagon, kpi wa ahi nkan ni kri mba, ni dua, mba ni bubu yi. Hama kima me, a nji indji bi Greek bari ye ni mi hekali nda kpa bubu tsatsra yi ti meme.”
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
Nitu bana to Trofimus, gu wu Afisus niwu nimi gbua, nda yo ndi Bulus a nji ba ri ni mi hekali.
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.
Igbu'a wawu a chu nzan, i indji ba ba yo tsu ka vu Bulus. Ba gbiwu rju ni hekalia, nda kaa nkon ba gbagbla.
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.
Niwa ba ta son wuu, tu tre a ye ri ni ton kapti wu bi gben ndji Urushelima wawu ni kri gro tsishishi.
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.
Niki a tsi kri vu bi lokpa baba bi ya ndji deri ri, nda tsutsu grji nimi jbu indji ba. Niwa indji ba ba to ninkon kaptin mba bi lokpa ba, ba donme ni tsi Bulus.
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.
Niki ninkon kapti a zren hi ka vu Bulus, nda mmha yo ndi du ba lowu ni sraka ha. Niki a mye ka a hi nha mba a hi ngye wa a tia.
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.
Bari nimi jbu indji ba ba kpagro kperi i bari kpe nkan. Niwa kaptia ana mla to tu tre'a na, nitu hanton mba, a yo ba du ba nji Bulus hi ni bubu wa ba mla ziri.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Niwa a zren ye ni bubu ban za grji'a, bi lokpa a ba banwu nitu nfu jbu indji ba.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto you? Who said, Can you speak Greek?
Niwa bataa nji Bulus ye ni bubu wu mlazia, a tre ni ninkon kaptia, ndi “Wu kpanyime ni du mi hla kpe niwu?” Kaptia a tre ndi, “Wu tre lan Greek?
38 Are not you that Egyptian, which before these days made an uproar, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
Ana wuyi igu masra wa alu kpagbu tsi nda gbron indji dubu nza u bi wuundi rju hi ni miji'a na?”
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 plead to you, suffer me to speak unto the people.
Bulus a tre ndi, Mi ndi Yahudawa, rji ni gbu Tarsus ni Cilicia. Mina vren meme wu gbu wa a hi fii me na. Mi bre, du me tre ni indji ba.
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 spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Niwa kaptin a nu kpanyime'a, Bulus a lu kri ni bubu ban zaa nda ti wo ni indji ba. Niwa bubua a ti gbi me, a tre niba ni lan Ibraniyawa ba. A tre nde,
