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:
Mbe mu mwanya ogwo chaliga chasigene nabho, chili mulugendo lwa Inyanja, nchigenda lugendo lumwi nichikinga mu musi gwa kosi, Mbe mwejo yendeko nichikinga mu musi gwa Rodo, nokusoka eyo nichikinga mu musi gwaPatara.
2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Chejile chikabhona imeli inu yambhukaga okuja Foinike, chalinyile nichigenda mulugendo.
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.
Chejile chikakinga imbhele ya lisinga lwa Kipro, nichiisiga kulubhala lwe bhumosi, mbe nchigendelela nchikinga Siria, nichilasa inanga mu musi gwa Tiro, kunsoga eyo niyo imeli yendaga okushola ebhinu bhinu yaliga iikile.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Bhejile bhakabhalola abheigisibhwa, nichinyanja eyo naku musanju. Abheigisibhwa bhanu mbhamubhwila Paulo mu Mwoyo ati mwenene atataja Yerusalemu.
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.
Chejile chakumisha jinaku jilya, eswe nchisokao nchija Jeswe. Bhona amwi, na abhagasi bhwebhwe na bhana bhwebhwe, bhachiyelegesishe munjila jeswe okukinga Anu chasokele Anja yo musi. Okumala nichifukama kunjejekela, nchisabhwa, nichilagana na bhuli munu.
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
Nchilinya mu meli, eyo nabho bhasubha ikewebhwe lindi.
7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Chejile chikamala olugendo lweswe okusoka Tiro, nchikinga Tolemai. Elya chakesishe abhasu no kwiyanja nabho kwo lunaku lumwi.
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.
Mwejo yendeko chemukile nichigenda Kaisaria. Eswe nichingila ika ewa Filipo, omusimusi wo musango gwo bhwana, oyo aliga umwi wa bhaliya musanju, neswe nichinyanja amwi nage.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
Omunu unu aliga ali na abhayalakaji bhana bhayalajuma bhanu bhaliga nibhalikisha.
10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down from Judæa a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Wejile enyanja eyo naku nyafuo, natelemuka okusoka bhuyaudi omulagi umwi oyo aliga nabhilikilwa Agabho.
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.
Omwene ejile kwiswe no kugega lifwata lwa Paulo. kugwo abhoyele amagulu na amabhoko gae omwene no kwaika, “Mwoyo Mwelu kaika kutya,” “Abhayaudi bha Yerusalemu abhaja omubhoya omunu unu kajotunga lifwata linu nabho abhamutula mu mabhoko ga bhanu bha maanga.”
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Chejile chongwa emisango ejo, eswe na bhanu bhanu bhaliga bhekae ebhala lilya nchimukomelesha Paulo asige kuja Yerusalemu.
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.
Nio Paulo nasubhya, “omukola chiya, omulila no kunyita omwoyo? Kulwo kubha nimalilie, atali okubhoywa-la, nawe no kufwila eyo Yerusalemu kulwa lisina lwa Latabugenyi.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Kubhunu Paulo aliga atakwenda kukongibhwa, chasigile no kwaika,”mbe okwenda kwa Latabhugenyi kukoleke.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
Okumala jinaku jinu, nichigega emifuko jeswe nichilinya okuja Yerusalemu.
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.
Abheigisibhwa abhandi mbhasokao Kaisaria one mbhalubhana neswe. Nibhamuleta munu umwi oyo aliga natogwa Mnasoni, omunu wa Kipro, omwiigisibhwa wa kala, unu chenyanjile nage.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Chejile chakinga, Yerusalemu abhasu bhachikumile kwo bhukondeleywe.
18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
Obhuchee bhendeko Paulo agendele amwi neswe ewa Yakobho, nabhakaluka bhona bhaliga bhalio.
19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Ejile amala obhukesha, nabhatondela chimwi chimwi ku ganu Nyamuanga akolaga mu bha maanga okulubhana ne milimu jae.
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:
Omwanya ogwo Bhejile bongwa ago, bhamukusha Nyamuanga, no kumubhwila, “oulola, abhasu, bhalio bhiubhi billinga bhanu bhekilisishe mu bhayaudi. Abho bhona bhali ne bhiganilisho bhyo kugwata ebhilagilo.
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.
Bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe ati owiigisha abhayaudi bhanu bhekae agati ya maanga no kusigana na Musa, na ati oubhabhwila bhasige okutenda abhana bhebhwe na bhasige jintugwa ja kala.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Jichiile chikole atiki? Bhasige okwitimata-la abhajokungwa ati awe wejile.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
Kulwejo nukole echo eswe chinu echikubhwila woli: Chili na bhanu bhana bhanu bhateyeo echilailo.
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.
Bagege abhanu bhanu wiyeshe amwi nabho, na ubhaliile (igharama) yebhwe, koleleki bhamwege jinfwili ku mitwe jebhwe. Kwibhyo bhuli munu amenye ati emisango jinu bhabhwiliwe okulubhana nawe nijolulimi. Abhajo ukwiigila ati awe one oulubha ebhilagilo.
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.
Mbhe nawe emisango ja bhanyamaanga bhanu bhabhee bhekilisha, chandikile no kusosha amalagililo ati kubheile bhekenge na bhinu bhisosibhwe echogo kwe bhisusano na manyinga okulubhana echinyigwa, na bhekenge no obhulomesi.”
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.
Niwo, Paulo abhagegele abhalume, no lunaku lwa kabhili, neyesha omwene amwi nabho nengila mu yekalu, okulasha omwanya gwa jinaku jo kwesibhwa, ebhiyana bhisosibhwe ku bhuli umwi webhwe.
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,
Jinaku ejo musanju jejile jafogela okuwa, abhayaudi abhandi okusoka Asia bhamulola Paulo mu yekalu, ne likofyanya nilibhabhiilibhwa, nibhamusomelesha na amabhoko.
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.
Bhaliga mbhayogana, “abhanu bha Israeli, mchisakile. unu Ni munu oyo keigisha abhanu bha bhuli mbhala emisango ejo jitasikene na bhanu, ebhilagilo, no lubhala lunu. One abhaletele abhayunani mu yekalu no kunyamula anu bhuli obhwelu”
29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
okubha KU bhwambhilo bhamulolele Trofimo Muefeso ali amwi nage mu musi, nabho bhetogee ati Paulo amuletele mu yekalu.
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.
Omusi gwona nigukangabhala, na bhanu nibhabhilima amwi no kumugwata Paulo, nibhamuulusha Anja ya I yekalu, emilyango nijigulwa.
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.
Anu bhaliga bhalegeja okwenda okumwita, emisango jamukingie omukulu wa lijeshi lya Abhalisi ati Yerusalemu yona ijue inyombo.
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.
Omwanya ogwo nabhagega abhasilikale no mkulu bhebhwe nabhilimila liinjo. Omwanya ogwo abhasilikale nibhasiga okumbhuma Paulo.
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.
Okumala omkulu wa lijeshi bhamfogelee no kumugwata Paulo, nalagilila abhoywe eminyololo ebhili. nabhusha omwene ninga na akoleleki.
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.
Abhanu abhandi mwiijo bhaliga nibhamwaya ingulu abhandi kutya na bhandi kutyo. kwo kubha omukulu wa abhasilikale atatulile kubhabhwila Chona chona KU nsonga ya inyombho nalagilila Paulo mbhamute munda ya libhoelo.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Mbe Ejile akinga KU bhilinyilo, nagegwa na abhasilikale ku nsonga ya inyombho ya liijo.
36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
Okubha liijo lwa abhanu bhamulubhile mbhagendelela okuyobhegana, unu “mumusosheo.
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?
Paulo ejile asilwa mwibhoyelo agati, amubhilie omukulu wa abhasilikale, “enitula okukubhwila echinu?” Omukulu wa abhasilikale naika, “Mbe owaika echiyunani?”
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?
Angu awe utali mu misiri ulya oyo kubhambhilo atangasishe obhunyamuke no kugega abhakuti bha bhanu bhiumbhi bhina ibhala?”
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.
Paulo naika, “anye ndi Muyaudi, okusoka mu musi gwa Tarso ogwa Kilikia anye nili mwenengo wa mu musi gwa insonga. Enibhasabhwa, munyikilisishe naike na bhanu.
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,
Omwanya ogwo omukulu wa abhasilikale Ejile amwikilisisha, Paulo nemelegulu ku bhilinyilo no kusosha echibhalikisho ku bhanu kwo kubhoko kwaye. Omwanya ogwo gwejile gwabha no bhujibhilie muno, naika nabho mululimi lwe chiebrania. Naika,
