Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and there to Patara,
Eelyo nitwakeenda kuzwa kulimbabo kuti tukazubuke, twakatola inzila ilulama kudolopo lyaku Kkosi, mpawo muzuba litobela twakaya kudolopo lya Lodesi, kuzwawo twakaya kudolopo ilya Patala.
2 and having found a ship passing over to Phoenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
Muchiindi nitwakajana bwaato buzubuka kuyaku Finisiya, twakazubuka twiinka.
3 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the cargo.
Nitwaka kulangalanga mu Sayipulasi, katwisyiide kuchimweensi chabwaato, twakazubuka kuyaku Silisiya twaaku selukila a Taya, oko bwaato nkubwakali kuselezya zilongo.
4 And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem;
Eelyo nitwakajana basikwiiya, twakakkala mazuba musanu aabili. Kwindila muMuuya bakali kukasya Pawulu kuti atayinki ku Jelusalema.
5 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, to the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees on the shore, we prayed,
Nakamana mazuba esu, twakazwa mpawo twiinka muznzila yesu, abalabo boonse, abakayintu babo abana, bakatobela nitwakalikuzwa mudolopo. Twakafugama musele lyakumbali alwiizi twakomba,
6 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
Mpawo twakawonekana twakaya kukutanta bwaato, bo bakabweeda kumyuunzi.
7 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we remained one day with them;
Eelyo nitwakamaninsya lweendo lwakuzwa ku Taya, twakasika ku Putolemayisi. Oko twakajuzya bakwesu mpawo twakakkala kwazuba lyomwe.
8 and on the next day Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist—who is of the seven—we remained with him,
Mubuzuba butobela twakazwa twaya ku Sizaliya. Twakanjila munganda ya Filipo, muvangeli, oyo iwakali umwi wabalimusanu ababili, mpawo twakakkala awe
9 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
lino oyu mwalumi wakali abana banakalindu bone bakasinsima.
10 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus,
Eelyo nitwakakkala kwamazuba, Awo kwakaselela uumwi musinsiimi kuzwa ku Lidiya uutegwa, Agabbasi.
11 and he having come to us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having also bound his own hands and feet, said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: The man whose is this girdle—so will the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they will deliver [him] up into the hands of nations.”
Wakaza kulindiswe kulindiswe mpwawo wakabweza ibbanti lya-Pawulu. Wakalyaanga andilyo kumawuluakwe akumaboko wasikuti, “Nzwalikwamba Muuya Uusalala, mbubatakamuchite bama Juda mu Jelusalema kwanga mwanibbanti eli mpawo akumupeda kumaanza abazwa maasi.”
12 And when we heard these things, we called on [him]—both we, and those of that place—not to go up to Jerusalem,
Aawo nitwakamvwa eezi zintu, toonse iswe abantu bakalikukkala mubusena oobo twakamukombelezya Pawulu kuti atayinki ku Jelusalema.
13 and Paul answered, “Why are you weeping, and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the Name of the Lord Jesus”;
Elyo Pawulu wakasandula, “Uchitayi, kulila akukwamuna moyo wangu? Nkambo ndililibambilide, pepe kwangwa luzutu, pesi ikuti ndifwe mu Jelusalema mukambo kazina lya Mwami Jesu.”
14 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, “The will of the LORD be done.”
Kaambo kakuti Pawulu takakombelezeka, twakawumuna mpwawo twakati, “Akuchitwe ikuyanda kwa Mwami.
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem,
Kuzwa amazuba aya, twakabweza izikwama zyesu twayinka ku Jelusalema.
16 and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
Awo twakendaamwi abamwi basikwiiya bazwaku Sizaliya. Baketa mwaalumi uutegwa Munasoni, mwalumi uuzwaku Sayipulasi, sikwiiya mutanzi oyo ngutwakali kuzokkalaawe.
17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us,
Awo nitwakasika ku Jelusalemu, bakwesu baktutambula chakukondwa.
18 and on the next day Paul was going in with us to James, all the elders also came,
Buzuba butobela Pawulu wakayinka andiswe kuli Jemusi, abaalu boonse bakaliwo.
19 and having greeted them, he was expounding, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministry,
Awo nakabajuzya, wakabambila zintu chiimwi achimwi ezyo Leza nzyakali wachita akati kabamaasi kwindilila mumulimo wakwe.
20 and they having heard, were glorifying the LORD. They also said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the Law,
Elyo nibakazimvwa, bakalumbaizya Leza, mpawo bakati kulinguwe, “Wakubona, mukwesu, nzingana zyuulu zyakasyoma akati kaba Juda. Balilipedelede boonse kuti babambe mulawu.
21 and they are instructed concerning you, that you teach departure from Moses to all Jews among the nations, saying not to circumcise the children, nor to walk after the customs;
bakabuzigwa aatala andime, ikuti uyiisya ba Juda boonse ibakkala akati kabamaasi kuti basule Mozesi, akuti mpawo ubabuzya kuti batakapaluuli ibana babo, akuteenda munzila yachiyanza chabo chakale.
22 what then is it? Certainly the multitude must come together, for they will hear that you have come.
Tuchiite kutyeni? nkaambo kasimpe bayomvwa kuti wasika.
23 This, therefore, that we say to you, do. We have four men having a vow on themselves,
Lino chita ezi nzitukwambila: Tulabalumi bone bachita chikonke.
24 having taken these, be purified with them, and be at expense with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning you are nothing, but you walk—yourself also—keeping the Law.
Bweza baalumi aba ulisalazye ambabo, ubbadale nzibelede kuti baliiye bo, kuti bakakulule mitwe yabo. Kuti muntu woonse akazibe kuti ezi zintu nzibakali babuzigwa ayeebo nzyabuyo. Bayoyiiya kuti ayebo upona kabotu mukubamba mulawu.
25 And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.”
Pesi atala abamaasi ibakasyoma, twakalemba mizeezo yesu kuti bakaligwisye kuzintu zyapedwa kuzikozyanio, kubulowa akulizyadinwa, azyamalalane.”
26 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day, having purified himself with them, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, until the offering was offered for each one of them.
Elyo Pawulu wakabweza balumi, mpawo mubuzuba litobela wakalisalazya we antomwe ambabo. Elyo bakaya munganda ya Leza, akubona kuti mazuba akusalazigwa azuzikizigwa azipo ziketwe izya umwi wabo.
27 And as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands on him,
Eno mazuba alimusanu aabili nakaaamba kumana, bamwi ba Juda baku Eziya, mukubona Pawulu mun'anda ya Leza, bakasungilizya makamu mpawo bamujata.
28 crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who, against the people, and the Law, and this place, is teaching all everywhere; and further, also, he brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place”;
Bakali kompoolola, Nobalumi ba Izilayeli, mutugwasye. Ngonguwe muntu uyiisya baluumi boonse koonse zintu zilwisyania abantu, amulawu, abusena obu. Kutali oobo, alubo, wakeeta baGiliki munganda ya Leza, mpawo wakasofwazya busena busalala.
29 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into the temple.
Mukuti bakali babona Tulofimasi waku Efeso nkalaawe mudolopo, mpawo bakayeeya kuti Pawulu wakali wamweeta mukati ka nganda ya Leza.
30 All the city was also moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
Idolopo lyoonse lyakakondwa, abantu bakachiijana antomwe abakajata Pawulu. Bakamugwisya munganda ya Leza, imilyango mpawo yakajaligwa.
31 and they seeking to kill him, a rumor came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem has been thrown into confusion,
Elyo nibakali kweezya kumujaya, makani akasika kuMwami wenkamu yechandaano yabalinda kuti yoonse Jelusalema yakali mukubotelwa.
32 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down on them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, left off beating Paul.
Mpawo wakabweza abasilumamba abasilutwe babasilumamba bali mwaanda mpawo bakachijana buselela kuya kumakamu makamu Eelyo bantu nibakabona Mwami wachandano chaba Silumamba, bakimikila kumuma Pawulu.
33 Then the chief captain, having come near, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he has been doing,
Elyo mupati wachandano wakasika wajata Pawulu, mpawo wakabambila kuti aangwe anketani zyobile. Elyo wakabuzya kuti wakaliini akuti wakaliini.
34 and some were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the stronghold,
Bamwi munkamu bakali koompolola chintu chomwe bamwi chimbi. Mukuti mupati wachandano takaziba bwini akambo kakuyowela kwakaliwo, elyo wakabambila kuti, Pawulu ayeetwe mukati kachikwabililo
35 and when he came on the steps, it happened he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
Chindi naakaza kumatantilo, wakanyampulwa abasilumamba nkambo kamakamu akali kumulwana.
36 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, “Away with him.”
Awo makamu abantu akabotelwa akwimikila kunembo akoompolola, “mwiinkaawe!”
37 And Paul being about to be led into the stronghold, says to the chief captain, “Is it permitted to me to say anything to you?” And he said, “Do you know Greek?
Awo Pawulu nakali kwetwa mukati kachikwabililo, wakati kumupati wachandano, “Zilazuminwa na kuti ime ngaambe chimwi chiintu kulinduwe?” Mupati wachandano wakati, “wambula chiGiliki na?
38 Are you not, then, the Egyptian who made an uprising before these days, and led the four thousand men of the assassins into the desert?”
Toli waku Ijipita na, wakindide chimwi chiindi chakinda wakatalika kupapapila mpawo akuzulwida zyuulu zyabalumi baku 'Asasinzi' kuya munkaanda?”
39 And Paul said, “I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people.”
Pawulu wakati, “Ime ndimu Juda, uuzwa mudolopo ilyaku Tasasi mu Silisiya. Ime ndilichizyalwa chamudolopo lilemekwa. Ndakukumbila, ndizumizye kuti ngaambule abantu.”
40 And he having given him leave, Paul having stood on the stairs, beckoned with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
Elyo mupati wachandaano nakamuzumizya, Pawulu wakiima amatantilo mpawo wakawumuzya bantu akuboko. Elyo kwakaba kumuuna kunikide, wakaambula kuli mbabo mumulaka wachi Hiibbulu, We wati,
